1. – resize your custom picture to 480×272 pixels and save it as “mainBackground.png”
2. – move it to your flash disc and then to your “/home/chip” folder
3. – open terminal and type “su”, type in password “chip” – this will log you in as root so you can copy to system files
4. – type in “cp mainBackground.png /usr/share/pocket-home”
5. – reboot pocket chip and youre done

Be carefull with spaces in step 4. – cpSPACEmainBackground.pngSPACE/usr/share/pocket-home

Also, you can get Chromium running very easily:
wget -qO - http://bintray.com/user/downloadSubjectPublicKey?username=bintray | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb http://dl.bintray.com/kusti8/chromium-rpi jessie main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install chromium-browser

This is derived from the instructions for Raspbian at https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=121195 with the Raspberry Pi specific YouTube plugin removed.
