Manage System Splash Screens#

System splash screens on the device be found in /usr/share/remarkable/. You can manually replace those files to use new splash screens. See Transfering Files for more information on how to copy files to the device.

Changescrn#

Toltec contains the changescrn package, which provides a command line tool for managing system splash screens.

opkg install changescrn

Backing Up Existing System Splash Screens#

The following command will backup the existing system splash screens.

changescrn -b

The backed up files are stored to /opt/usr/share/backupscrns. Backing up a second time will overwrite the initial backup, so only run it once after installing or reenabling toltec after a system upgrade.

Restoring System Splash Screens from Backup#

The following command will restore the system splash screens from /opt/usr/share/backupscrns.

changescrn -r all

If you’d like to restore a specific screen you can use the following command. You will need to replace <screen> with the name of the splash screen you wish to restore.

changescrn -r <screen>
# For Example
changescrn -r suspended

Changing a System Splash Screen#

The following command will change a system splash screen to the newly specified file:

changescrn -c <screen> <image-path>
# For Example
changescrn -c suspended my-file.png
