Dingoo A320 forum

Hello fellow Dingoo enthusiasts! Glad to have happened upon a board such as this one, and I hope that you will welcome me with open arms and sage advice.

Since receiving my Dingoo (about a week ago today), I've wanted nothing more than to create a Metroid based theme using mostly sprites from Super Metroid (personal favorite game of all time). It took me awhile, but I finally got the custom firmware on there. I've now started creating the icons, but run into a slight hitch, and am hoping one of you may know what to do. I renamed and overwrote some of the files in the "mainface" folder, but when I turned my Dingoo on, there was no difference in the icons. I tried resetting it, turning it on and off, trying theme 1, 2, 3, & 4, and I held 'down' to go through the "Upgrading Firmware" screen, but no dice. Do I have to reflash the firmware in order to see the changes, or is there a more simple solution?

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Typically if turning it off/on doesn't work, pressing the reset pin on the side usually does the trick. Have you tried that?

Already tried the reset button, but still no dice. The weird thing is that even though I deleted the original icons and replaced them with the new ones, the icon is still the same old icon.

Have you copied the files into the appropriate folders? Some people can put them into the wrong directory, leaving the original ones their and having the new ones in a folder, which isn't used by the Dingoo.

Ok, so I was originally working on the animation sequence for the different submenus (3d game, roms folder, etc.), but after trying everything and not having the new icons show up, I thought I'd try messing around with the "a" folder a bit. After switching up some icons, i reset it, and the new icons were showing up and working just fine. So it seems to just be the icons in the "mainface" folder that are giving me problems. Same sizes, same file format, but still nothing.

P.S. Thanks for all the advice so far, keep it comin'!

Working on a theme right now too, but not planning to change mainface icons for now (although replacing mainface icons with ones from different themes went without a problem. They always updated just fine).
I did notice this though:
Even though folders "a", "b", "c", and "d" each contain menu icons (like music, games, radio, not the mainface icons) - Dingoo only uses icons from "a" folder. Odd.
