How Do You Change Dashboard
« on: August 02, 2006, 09:27:00 AM »

What softmod are you using?

EDIT: And no offense, but why would you want to go from UnleashX to EvoX, Evox hasn't been updated since 2 years ago or more?

Hiya i have currently got unleash X as my dash but wanna change it to Evo
how can i do do it ? i aint got a dvd writer and the cdrw's that will work in my box. But i can FTP to it


I had unleashX until a couple of days ago for about 2 years.  I changed to XBMC and it's really nice.  Like, REALLY nice.  Check out some of the screenshots from this forum.  It makes it look like a 360 and the features are awesome.  Also, XBMC has a nice shortcut tool that allows u to make it the default start up dashboard.  If ur modded box doesn't look flashy, what's the point laugh.gif

Despite what dash u end up using, find it off xbins, extract, ftp to ur apps folder, done biggrin.gif

EvoX = Xbox BIOS
Evolution-X = Dashboard
Xbox Media Center (XBMC) = Application, but can be set as dashboard like I did

Evolution-X = old and crappy sleeping.gif
XBMC = new and sexy laugh.gif

About ur chip, when u start up ur xbox do u have a special splash screen?  Does it say anything below the splash screen?

right ta
ive got a copy of evo x from xbins, so all i do is extract the rar then transfer them to xbox ??? were will i transfer em to ? and do i not have to delete the unleash files ??


Naw u can keep them.  Although I'd really suggest ditching the evox idea.

Good choice, unleash is better than evox too btw.  For skinning help, stop into the XBMC forum, good stuff goin on there.

go to the settings and look for the live update icon...i think its called something like that i forgot..it automatically updates the dash...but i dont know i had problems updating by that so you should just get it off xbins and overwrite the old unleash x files with the new files...

If u get XBMC from xbins, in the tools directory, there are shortcuts to help make it the default dash.

Check out this link for help.  I say go with option 2, super easy smile.gif
