Here are the steps:
1. In xplayer.viv, extract the .viv file for the player you wish to patch.
2. Open that extracted .viv file in EA Graph.
3. Import the picture (select option that says "Import an existing external file into the current open image)
4. Find the picture and import it.
5. Open xplayer.viv
6. Import the previously extracted .viv file back into xplayer.viv (select option that says "Add files to external TAR archives")
I hope that solves your problem
