Naming Conventions

 

 

Naming Conventions

To begin with an example, the image or song "Sprint Vision" / "Sprint Rocks" for the A500 by Samsung would be named:

Screensavers / Ringers

img-prod-sprintvision-v1.png (or *.jpg)  /  ring-prod-sprintrocks-v1.mid (or *.qcp or *.m4a)

  1. The entire filename should be in lowercase with no spaces.
  2. The prefixes "img" / "ring" and "prod" will apply to the actual image (PNG or JPEG / MIDI, QCELP, AAC, or MP4) file.
  3. When using animated screensavers (CMX) / animated ringers (CMX), the naming scheme for the image file is the same except the file extension would be PMD vs. PNG / MID or QCP.
  4. The prefixes "img" / "ring" and "prev" will apply to the preview (GIF or SWF / MP3 or SWF) file.
  5. When using animated screensavers (CMX), the naming scheme for the preview file is the same except the file extension would be SWF or GIF.
  6. The actual name of the screensaver / song is run together as one word, with no spaces or special characters, all in lowercase.
  7. For all static ringers (MIDI, QCELP, AAC), only one ringer file is needed (vs. one for each device).
  8. Only one preview file (GIF or SWF / MP3 or SWF) is needed for each image / ringer. 
  9. Specifications for the preview files are as follows:
    • GIF images should be 8-bit color, 80W x 80H
    • MP3 files should be approximately 96 kbps bit rate and 30 seconds long

The version identifier relates to the device model.  Click here view all the Device Version Numbers.

For a final example, here is the full list of files for the image "Sprint Vision" using the 3G naming convention:

  • img-prev-sprintvision.gif  /  ring-prev-sprintrocks.mp3 (preview file, need only one)
  • img-prod-sprintvision-v1.png  /  ring-prod-sprintrocks-v1.mid
  • img-prod-sprintvision-v38.png  /  ring-prod-sprintrocks-v38.mid
