Can we please have the ability to edit the messages that appear at the end of Morning Report? We have the ability to add and remove components, but not edit those messages. Please, give us the ability to edit and add our own messages, or at the very least, disable/enable them in the Morning Report?

    You mean those "rise and shine" mottos?
    I've heard some people replace localization ".LN4" files in /GARMIN/TEXT folder on their fenix devices (most use Indonesian or Malaysian) with custom edited English files and then switch to that language.
    Haven't tested it on Instinct 2X though.

    Could you tell me why Indonesian or Malaysian is usually used for the custom English (translated?) language pack? I'm also confused why there isn't an "english.ln4" language pack in the folder by default. It would be so much neater to edit an English pack, rather than a translated-to-english pack. Any leads that you can give me?

    I've scoured through the forums and internet but your comment is the only thing I've found that comes anywhere close to fulfilling the objective.

    TIA!

    Because Indonesian or Malaysian languages use exactly the same Latin script as in English and will not be required by most of English-speaking users in future, it's considered "safe". But you may choose Hungarian or Romanian for your experiments, for instance. You may even try Bulgarian or Greek, but there could be some codepage issues.

    English localization file doesn't exist, because it's built in firmware, which is inaccessible for common end user now. Perhaps text could also be hacked with "forged" update .gcd file, I haven't tested this as well
