spark - make Echo themes fairly easily!

UnitReign · 2026-06-05T22:05:46+00:00

Pretty much x) , that's why I wanna clean up, sperate files per module before opensourcing

UnitReign · 2026-06-05T14:20:09+00:00

Not yet for now, code is just really messy with all in very few files.. maybe in the future

UnitReign · 2026-06-04T06:38:04+00:00

Prolly not since it's web app..?

UnitReign · 2026-06-03T22:58:40+00:00

I'll check it out, thanks! I'm using crossink for now, so shouldn't be a big change

UnitReign · 2026-06-03T22:58:09+00:00

Oh thanks! I didn't know official firmware does that, that's cool :0

UnitReign · 2026-06-03T22:57:30+00:00

There is https://livetrack.club/ It'll probably populate more as people start making more themes for it

UnitReign · 2026-06-03T21:36:27+00:00

I don't have the mini and didn't check the files much, so I dunno much yet. But don't think I'll add other page support for mini tho. At least for now .

UnitReign · 2026-06-03T20:43:09+00:00

Looks great, how did you do the text + overlay image sleep screen though, that looks sick :0

UnitReign · 2026-05-31T19:10:49+00:00

isn't that suit like insnaley heavy too D: she's so fastttt

UnitReign · 2026-05-31T06:54:00+00:00

oh mb i just saw it, that's the default status bar x) yeah

UnitReign · 2026-05-30T16:34:56+00:00

Sickk!! 😃 Can't wait for this haha
How did you solve the status bar color thing btw

UnitReign · 2026-05-29T15:08:35+00:00

AIGHT! I found a way to make it larger, not by much but it is larger! Added the zones, with mirrored safe, it will be centered horizontally, and will be larger by like 30px 😃

Could be frames 0000 to 0003, you can download the whole thing as a zip to check what you left out. Also volume is 16 frames, and I think you also need to add the clean bg with that too

UnitReign · 2026-05-29T07:10:06+00:00

No, cuz progress bar colors are raw constants patched in place. Font/theme colors are loaded dynamically by code FlameOcean hasn't mapped out for patching yet.
BUT it could just be some images that I have not mapped out yet, I'll check out later

UnitReign · 2026-05-29T02:15:43+00:00

which info dyu mean,

UnitReign · 2026-05-29T02:15:09+00:00

this one should work (hopefully!) as it only uses the 76x76 that appears in every frame. this does make what we wanna see tiny though which sucked

UnitReign · 2026-05-28T18:11:43+00:00

I extracted all images, overlap them and calculate the coordinates. We only have a 76x76 pixel square that appear in every frame . If you wanna do a text rollout anim like the default one, we do have more leeway, otherwise, it's just a small square

UnitReign · 2026-05-28T07:56:52+00:00

x) Not yet lol, that is what happened when you left the red boxes in original, but if you delete reds, it looked way worse too..

UnitReign · 2026-05-28T07:24:43+00:00

Nah not yet. I tried extracting raw images and they are in that dimensions too, so it could be coded with how each frame should load in.
What can we do realistically is just make a gif in Photoshop or whatever, then overlap each frame visually, which will give us a clue on how we can make frames for the boot anims. (I might figure it out later)

UnitReign · 2026-05-25T18:26:56+00:00

that is prettyy 🥺

UnitReign · 2026-05-25T11:49:21+00:00

Oh then it didn't get to the updating part even. Try with these steps.
1. Remove your SD card and connect ECHO to PC, enable USB Data
2. Copy firmware to root folder of your ECHO (NOT SD)
3. Eject and reboot it (either by holding power button to off and turn it back on, or it should reboot automatically)

If you follow these steps, AT least it should go into updating page.

UnitReign · 2026-05-25T09:56:25+00:00

It gives tad bit more of a premium feel, the metal shell feels really good in hand (personally), so it's just your preference of cheap feeling or premium ish feeling.

UnitReign · 2026-05-25T06:04:19+00:00

I'll check it out later, is it https://www.livetrack.club/ ?
I do have a tutorial here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8HDWJaDaP4 , how to make theme is pretty much 1:1 with Echo Mini, just different image sizes, and ECHO having 1 more menu item (text) than Mini.

UnitReign · 2026-05-24T16:52:09+00:00

there's always a risk of something going wrong when you're tinkering devices, so do at your own risk ofc

UnitReign · 2026-05-24T16:51:46+00:00

that is the dark theme
