To change the Not Locked screen

cd /home/pi/ryde/rydeplayer/states/

then use nano to edit playback.py

nano playback.py

use down arrow to find where it says:

self.frontSurface.fill(self.theme.colours.backgroundPlayState)
displayText = "ERROR\nNOT FOUND"
if(newState == States.NOLONGMYND):
displayText = "LongMynd\nNot Loaded"
elif(newState == States.NOLOCK):
displayText = "Not\nLocked"
self.drawMessage(displayText, self.frontSurface)
self.frontDispmanxlayer.updateLayer()
return True

Change the line displayText = "Not\nLocked" to something like

displayText = "RYDE RX @\nG8LCE IO70LD\nTX 1249MHz SR 2M\nRX 1316MHz 437MHz\nSR 125K 333K 1M 2M"

To change the background colour

cd /home/pi/ryde/rydeplayer/

nano player.py

then go down to where it says :

and change the colours of 'backgroundPlayState': (0,255,0,255), . This has already been done in this example to green. It goes RGBI

Now for the HDMI screen...

I have a Ryde that has been updated and the HDMI output decided to go low resolution and 4 by 3! To force it to 1080 and 16 by 9 I did the following editing:

cd /boot/

sudo nano config.txt

and changed the text that is now white:
