This tutorial will teach you how to edit your funlight.pat file. A lot of this is actually trial and error, but I will be going over parts of the Funlight Editor 2 program and what they do.

From Guides

What you will need:

Stock or Modified funlight.pat file(get it from your phone)

Lets get started.

Part 1 of this tutorial will go over what certain components of the Funlight Editor 2 program do.

When you first open Funlight Editor, you will get this screen. I recommend that you associate Funlight Editor with .pat files. It makes it easier to find them later.

For the Motorola Z3, there is no profile available. But using the Motorola (All Models)profile allows you to connect and edit your funlight.pat.

v Deselecting the

Hide unused slotsoption makes it possible for you to see all the funlight choices available for editing.

1. All the funlights available for editing.2. The name of the funlight you are currently editing.3. The total number of frames in the current funlight. Adding frames requires that you also add boxes to edit in that current frame.4. Delay means the amount of time it will take your funlight to begin its operation. For example, this funlight is set at a 100 millisecond delay.

Meaning that since the current funlight is the Incoming SMS, it will take 100 milliseconds for it to begin playing AFTER the SMS is received.

There are 3 main editing options; Funlight options, (which were covered previously) Slot Operations and Frame Operations.

Slot Operations are things that affect the entire horizontal slot. What is a horizontal slot? In this picture, the Lightand Joystickhorizontal slots are being used. Meaning those two slots are the ones that we are editing. We are not doing anything to the Inner Display, Keyboard, Outer Display, or Flashslots for the Incoming SMS funlight.

1. Clear all frames does just that. It clears all the frames in the currently selected horizontal slot. If I were to select the

Lightslot, and push Clear all frames, it woud make it look exactly like the Inner Displayand others.

2. Ill bet you can guess what copy all frames does. If not, here is the answer. It copies all the frames to look like the one that you have highlighted. Although, you must realize that this does not affect the frame rate (amount of time each frame is active).3. Add all frames adds black boxes to all the frames. Black boxes equal a stop in the frame. Where no lights are flashing. We will get into how to change that.4. Remove all frames gets rid of the black boxes.

The last way to edit the funlights is with Frame Operations. Here is where you will actually manipulate the colors of the frames. Most Motos can only use blue or green colors, so thats what I am using here.

1. This is the

Frame Operationswindow.

2. I am sure many of you are familiar with these. They are

Red, Green and Blue colors. The higher the color, the brighter the light will appear.

3. This is the frame rate in milliseconds. The higher the frame rate, the longer the light will stay on.4. By clicking on here, this makes that frame active. Then you can change the frame rate, color and so forth.

This is the Phone Toolswindow.

From here you can check if your phone is connected, enable Clublights without dealing with the seem edits, and restart your phone to see how the funlights look.

Lets now move on to part 2.

Part 2

Make sure your phone is connected, and then select Open from Phone.

In this part, I will be editing the Phone Chargingfunlight. So, if you are going to be following along, find that profile and set the frame count to 10. I like 10 frames because it is not too much, but its enough to make it look pretty cool. You can add how ever many frames tickles your fancy.

1. You will notice that all my frames are black. Yours may or may not be like that. I set mine to black for this tutorial.2. Now select the first frame. Your options will automatically change to frame operations.3. Set the color to whatever you chose. Remember that most phones only show blue lights. Although, there are a few now that have a green charging light also. So depending on your phone model, set the color you choose. I will be choosing blue set all the way to a brightness of 15--the highest possible.4. Continue editing the frames to what you choose. Heres a tip though: By putting black frames in between the others, your light will completely go off and pause for a second. For example, here is what I mean.

By putting a black frame in between the blue and green one, I have made it stop flashing for 1000 milliseconds(ms). That adds a nice effect since after the green light flashes, the next thing that will happen is that the blue and green lights will alternate rather quickly. At 100ms per color.

You will notice that I did not explain this option in part 1. Thats because its not always accurate. The best way to check how your funlights are responding is to load it back to your phone and check on there. I noticed that part of my funlights were not working at lower frame rates. Those below 100ms were just showing the blue light and not a green one. Check and see what works best for you.

Once you get your pattern how you want it, save it back to the phone by doing the following.

Select Fileand Save to phone.

Then select Restartfrom the Phone toolsmenu.

Congratulations.

You are done editing your funlights. Now go show them off to your friends!
