Splash screens for the reMarkable tablet

Info

This repository contains a bunch of png files with the correct ratio to be used as backgrounds or splash screens in the reMarkable paper tablet.

Many of the images in the splash screens are made using python and matplotlib. Have a look at the scripts here and experiment for yourself.

About

Some of the original files can be found in this repository, in the folder originals. But before you delete a file and replace it with a new one, be sure to check if it is there, and preferably make your own backup.

All splash screens can be found in splashscreens, with a folder for each kind. The images used in the splash screens are found in backgrounds and a template file is also provided with correct dimensions, so that new files can be easily made.

Log in

To log in to the reMarkable, SSH into the address given on the bottom of the section General information in the Copyrights and licenses file. E.g.

ssh root@10.0.1.17

and type in the password, given in the same file as the address, e.g. pswrd123.

Adding new splash screens

To copy the original files from reMarkable to your computer (for backup) use

scp root@10.0.1.17:/usr/share/remarkable/filename.png /path/to/filename.png

You then want to log in to the tablet and delete all files you want to replace, using

rm -f filename.png

You can now copy a new file from your computer to the same place in the reMarkable by doing

scp /path/to/filename.png root@10.11.99.1:/usr/share/remarkable/filename.png

Auto install with script

Using the shell script rm-splash.sh you can more easily add new splashscreens to your reMarkable. Run as

sh rm-splash.sh

This will install the default backgrounds: sacks_spiral, dragon_curve, snowy_hills, collatz_sea_weed and sierpinski_triangle. Edit the shell script yourself to get whatever files and backgrounds you prefer.
