Headphoneus Supremus
Fair WARNING: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
This is for the Second Generation X5. Using the First Generation custom FW will not work on the X5 II and vice versa. Please make sure you are using the proper FW for your generation of X5.
Load Custom FW at your own risk. FiiO, Head-Fi, and modders will not be held responsible for bricked or damaged units. While using custom themes has been very successful in the X line of FiiO DAPs it's never a guarantee that the functions will work properly.
With that out of the way.............
This thread is THE place for custom/modded themes for the FiiO X5 II. Hopefully out of the gate we can have some themes ported over from the X5 gen1.
A quick guide to port X5 themes to the X5 II by AsianInvasion from this POST in the X5 gen1 custom themes thread.

[COLOR=0000f5]How To Unpack the X5II FW (Windows only)[/COLOR]
1. Download the Custom FW Tools here LINK
2. Make sure you have the FW tools and the X5II.fw file in the same folder.
3. Double click the unpack.bat file.
4. Edit theme
5. When you're finished double click the pack.bat file
6. Update the X5ii with the newly created FW as described below in the update procedure.
[COLOR=0000f5]Once the FW is unpacked you may change the following[/COLOR]:
- You may edit the str config.ini files to adjust what the text in the X5ii displays/says, including EQ names.
- You may edit the coordinates .ini files to better suit your icon position preferences. These coordinates are shared for all themes.
- note - The Image coordinates are derived for the most part by defining the upper left corner of each image. I suggest you leave these alone until you've done your first custom theme.
- You may edit the images for each theme in the litegui folder. The names of each image MUST remain the same. The file types must also remain the same, ie. if the file is a .png it must stay a .png file.
- note - I suggest not to change the resolution of the images unless you have done your first theme. If the resolution is changed then the coordinates may not place the image where it is supposed to go.
Have fun and experiment!! I've done a few themes myself for the X5 and have also transferred them to the X5ii. After the first one it gets easier. Every time I've tried a modification and messed up I simply loaded the official FW and things went back to normal without a hitch. I'm not offering any guarantee but in my experience it's been very robust to go back to a clean version.
Remember, custom themes only change images and text. They can not change functionality of the X5ii.
[COLOR=0000ff]Update procedure[/COLOR]
1. Transfer the firmware file to the the root of the TF card in slot 1. IMPORTANT the file must be named x5II.fw
2. Turn off the FiiO X5ii if it is on.
3. Hold the upper left (shortcut) and power buttons until the firmware update screen appears.
DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS OR ROLL THE WHEEL DURING THE UPDATE
4. The X5ii will restart automatically after the update is completed.
