Hi, is there a way to set the grid loading image?

I found this: GridScreenRetrievingColor but just for the color

Grid_Retrieving_Landscape_HD.jpg
Grid_Retrieving_Landscape_SD43.jpg

open these two files in your favorite graphic editor and make them into whatever you want.

Joel, already tried that... no effect...

Where should these images be?

thanks!

Isnt there a porperty that can be changed in runtime to define these loading images?
Thanks

I have tried this too with no effect. Is there another way? I have black background, but the loading image is a flash of gray..

Thanks,
Rob

I take the lack of response this is broken and no one is willing to confirm it. These images are included in the sample grid SDK, but do nothing.

Had to do some research and testing first:



This does not work on Legacy (firmware 3.x) devices so:

Thank you Joel! Tested and it works perfectly so far. I appreciate you including the 3.x check in there. This really improves the look while loading rows.

btw. What even uses the legacy 3.x firmware?

Again, I really appreciate the update! I even see the SDK docs are updated

3.1 firmware is used for these

Just curious...
I'm assuming you listed that ebay page as an example and not the definitive list.
I've got an N1000 and an N1101 that are both running 3.1 (and the ebay page seems to only show the 2100).

Just guessing, but would it be safe to say 3.1 runs on all the first generation boxes (i.e. the models using the NXP chips and not the models using the Broadcom chips)?
i.e. Models: N1000, N1050, N1100, N1101, 2000, 2050, 2100

Or is there a different criteria and/or a definitive list somewhere?

That is pretty accurate, there is a Wikipedia page that covers our models in depth, some inaccuracies but mostly correct.

I would put it this way: "Everything that has model number < 2222 is the legacy platform of Roku" and is stuck at 3.x firmware. The models > 2222 are the new platform and currently on 5.x firmware. (Picked the number 2222 as arbitrary cut-off between 2100 and 2400)

There is a big hardware difference actually, the NXP is MIPS-based CPU where the new ones are ARM. It is kind of like Apple jumping from PowerPC onto Intel CPUs, big deal in lower-level coding. Luckily B/S mostly abstracts that. The legacy platform is in maintenance mode, getting some bugfixes and with delay - but no new features. I have no insider info on that, they may or may not release future update (last one i think was around june 2013)
