Is there anyway to change the second boot screen?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3133153&postcount=91
prolly not talking about splash2, but the Android animation and logo after splash1 & splash2. But i could be wrong.
Theres a folder in framework-res.apk/assets/images that seems to contain the images used in the second boot screen. I haven't had a chance to play with it to see if anything happened. I guess I'll try now and get back to you in 10 minutes. =]
ok so far, I was able to change the second boot screen image without using fastboot, and just modifying the android_320x480.png itself in framework-res/assets/images, but the animation goes out of whack when trying to replace boot_robot.png and boot_robot_glow.png with other images. I'm going to keep at it to see if i can get anywhere.
Hi, i edited the boot_robot_glow.png in PS and it shows up fine when booting
EDIT: I've edited the android_320x480.png but when it boots it shows the original then flicks to the modified one
EDIT: needed to replace boot_robot.png in res/drawable aswell!
Attached images aren'y quite aligned, moves about when booting :S
EDIT: Everything's aligned now

would you mind telling us how to replace the files?
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk to your computer,
rename it to framework-res.apk.zip
open framework-res.apk.zip
copy all 3 files into /assets/images
copy boot_robot.png into /res/drawable (in assets/images aswell)
(Uploaded my new boot_robot_glow to use with above files)

Cool... Thanks guys!
Used your images and created a burning Droid for the boot up image.
Adapted the code slightly to run the commands on the phone itself then copied the zip file off the SD card through usb.
Thanks
any pitfalls?
does the image have to be a certain size before 'push' ing it back to the phone?
I like your design so Ill start there, thanks for sharing the work, people have been speculation on how to change this and you did it.
bhang
I'd play it safe and keep everything the size it is, although if you have the dev BL then go for it. It will probably start from the same location on the screen but extend further across and down
This will surround the that icon better than the round glow i made this just now. Looks better just change the hue and make it red if you like.
I can confirm that this work fine on RC30 and ADP1 (there is no reason why it shouldn't but I bet someone will ask...).
So i went ahead and tried to modify the images that make up the animation, got it all repackaged, and pushed it onto the phone. I rebooted and my animation came up like a charm, looking pretty cool, but it got stuck there and the animation kept running. I tried rebooting it several times and then restored it using a backup which fixed it. I am still trying to figure out what i did wrong. Could someone take a look?
Is this as simple as making a jpeg and putting it into the correct folder? I don't need an animated gif - what format it will accept?
I wanted to make something that says 'Phone is Property of XXXX - please call XXXXX if lost'.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, thank you!

That is for AOSP builds that use the images in the assets/images folder in framework-res.apk.
If your phone uses Sense then it runs the boot animation from /system/media/bootscreen. All you have to do is replace the image in there (I think it's called boot1.gif) with another image with the same name or you can use a .jpg (which would probably be better if you want a static image) and just open up the boot_animation.xml and change the image attribute to "/system/media/bootscreen/your_file_name.jpg"
I've never tried it (the .jpg method) but theoretically it would work.
Do a Nandroid, try it out, if it doesn't work then nandroid restore.
Let me give you a friendly warning about messing with the boot screen:
I messed with mine for a few hours - I loaded a file it didn't like - wouldn't boot - couldn't get into recovery or fast boot it hung at the first HTC logo. I had to RUU to fix it. Bizzzzzzzare
found this over in the G1 fourms but he made it work for almost all phones.
it makes it so you can add any image you choose to your recovery screen.
for our hero it need to be 320x480 and png. not renamed png. an png.
the directions are not very clear but to get it to work.
find your image, edit it. name it boot and boot1.
get your recovery, name it recovery.
put these files in their corrisponding folders and run the script.
just passing it on.

[Q] I replaced bootanimation.zip, is there a way to remove HTC logo too at startup?
I flashed MIUI and replaced the boot animation.zip but when I start the phone I still see the HTC logo. I use to have DESIRE and it wasnt there when you replaced the bootanimation.zip its enough.
So is there a way to also replace or remove that?
Thank you.
yeah thats splash screen actually...bootanimation is different..try to search forum for "splash screen"
Its actually the Splash Screen, You can change it and even you can create one as per your need.
To do this you just need to crop the image 480*800 size and convert into a format(i forgot the format). For this there is a tool available.. Better google it..
or check here
So, I'm attempting to edit the boot animation on my HTC U12+. My phone is rooted using Magisk. The boot animation zip is located here on the phone:
/system/customize/resource/hTC_bootup_U_QCT_2880.zip
I copied the zip using Root Explorer to my PC. Extracting the zip, it contains PNG files in five different folders, some text files that contain the file names of the PNG files, and a WAV file for the boot up animation. I created my own PNG's with the exact same file names, removed the WAV file, and replaced the PNG's inside the zip file. I copied it back to the phone and replaced the old boot animation zip. I set the permissions on the file to be the same as the original.
Then, I powered off the phone, and powered it back on. The phone boots up but no boot animation is shown.
Has anyone else with a U11 or U12+ tried to do this and got it working? I've attached my edited boot zip.
