This is just a quick thread to release the skin builder I am using for everyone so everyone can make their own skins now.
This tool is basically just the "Customize Pack" available from the EZ-Flash website but the kernel has been replaced by the 2.02 kernel.
To create your own skin, just edit the bitmap files and the help.txt in the Res\.shell folder. Once finished, simply double click the "build.bat" file and you'll receive a stock ezfla_up.bin file.
You'll also notice a folder called "patches". These contain ips patches for various major and minor improvements to the kernel (making 8Kb show up as 8Kb instead of 8,192 bytes, translation improvements and the clearlooks font). Simply apply them to your ezfla_up.bin file using any ips patching tool. Sorry the patches are not properly documented, they were originally intended for personal use only.
I decided not to include my EZ-Flat base skin in this pack because the base skin that comes with the customize pack contains a few more icons necessary for older versions of the skin. So if anyone wants to use this as a base for creating a skin that contains more icons, they can see which icon needs to go where.
A second upload will contain various older kernels and their appropriate patches. Simply copy the kernel (rombuildpro.rom) you want to the Res folder, overwriting the existing one.
Make sure to only apply patches made for whichever kernel version you're using. Using wrong version patches will break things or eat your children.
Credits to Gyron, Lybertyernie, Kuwanger and Draxxon for kernel various text improvements and fixes, the improved font and original Hard Reset modifications. Most IPS patches were adapted for 1.78 onwards by myself.
DISCLAIMER: I am not to be held responsible for any damages this may cause to your EZ-Flash Cartridge, your computer, your loved ones or your life.
This has only been tested on a EZ-Flash IV micro SD version and the EZ-Flash Reform, use at your own risk.
