Custom initial boot splash screens in full 480x640 - 2nd Round Posted

Using the tools and info from pfcsabre and the below link I created some initial splash screen .nbh files. This replaces the very first picture you see when you turn on your phone and displays your radio version and such. If you want to make your own use this link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436105
Since I spent a little bit of time making these files and other files I haven't uploaded yet, I figured I would share them. I will probably upload more later.
Instructions: - Make sure your phone is Hard-SPL
1. Download the RaphaelCustomRUU.zip and unzip it to the RaphaelCustomRUU.exe file.
2. Download one of the Splash.zip files and unzip it to the same folder as the RaphaelCustomRUU.exe file (Make sure there is only 1 .nbh file in the same folder as the .exe,,, if you download multiple splashes put them in a subfolder)
3. Connect your phone to your PC and Run the RaphaelCustomRUU.exe file and follow the prompts. Its the exact same method as burning a ROM, but these files only replace the Splash screen and nothing else.
4. It will take about 20-30 seconds to burn and your phone will reboot displaying the pics in full 480*640 resolution.
5. These look incredible when you first boot up your phone.

I just overwrite the image to what the default boot screen was. (You can find out what the original filename was somewhere in Advanced Config)

This process changes the 1st boot screen, the one with the red letters in the lower right corner. It cannot be done within Windows by overwriting a file, it must be burnt in. When turning on your phone you can have up to 4 pictures, This boot screen process, follow by up to 2 splash screens (usually windows & operator splashes), then your wallpaper.

Recovery Customization Engine version 2.0 - Color,Background,ProgressBar Mod !!!

Hey,
Versions supported for colormod :
MAGIC/HERO/DREAM - 1.6.2 (Waiting for 1.7 sources )
Nexus - 1.7
cliq - 1.6.2
Desire - 1.6.2
Versions supported for noncolormod :
All recoveries, even koush's except you wont see the difference cuz he never calls on the png's
Thanks to amon_ra for his recovery and thanks to all those he thanked
Script is based on the dev kitchen by dsixda. I removed everything that was not needed for this task.
Requirements : Device drivers properly installed
Windows Operating System
Instructions :
1. Download the 7z file and extract.
2. You will get 3 folders and 2 batch files.
3. Run either batch.
INFO:
Noncolormod just allows you to change background image and progressbar
Colormod batch does what the noncolormod does + allows you to customize the colors inside the recovery
Guys 2 tips :
1. If image is layered please flatten it in photoshop or edit in paint.
2. Use this tool to configure a range of colors. Just grab the decimal values and feed in the script.
FYI: This will not work with Koush's recovery as he ignores the background png
PS : Donot ask for assitance from amonra if you are using the repackaged recovery image produced by this script. He WILL ignore u
PS : I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU ARE NOT CAPABLE OF FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS. I EXPECT A DECENT LEVEL OF UNDERSTANDING/TECHNICAL ABILITIES FROM THOSE WHO ARE USING THIS SCRIPT.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Update
*Added menu with additional properties
*Can now flash/boot recovery from menu
*Added option for size check
*Allows customization of progressbars
*Keyboard-console fixed for G1 users
*Text-color customization
*Updatescript color customizable
*ProgressBar height adjustable
*A LOT MORE STABLE
*Thanks to amonra no more trackball issues should occur on Hero
----------------------------------------------------------------
Future Updates Expected:
Will bring this to the droid, cliq and desire
Will try to see what else i can make user-optional

No, this is the only way at the moment, using a PC to call it.
Daneshm90 how I can modify the recovery for Desire?

Does this mean we can boot to recovery now without using the push files method?

No, only pushing files for the moment.

Wow k so im confused. I dont have the device but i saw the source up on his github and this video and assumed you guys also have a working amon-ra recovery.
So upon further reading, you guys have that step2-windows.bat file to run which loads amonra's recovery ? Any way for those asking, all you have to do is place "any" recovery image under /recovery/old and place 2 images under place-image-here named boot.png and boot1.png and run nocolormod.bat file. If you want to edit the colors by running colormod, make sure the recovery image you place under /recovery/old is amonra's recovery. For how-to help, run the batch file and select "How-to"

please...how to flash recovery image?
...help me please.
Sent from my HTC Desire using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk

Hey, im reading up on it. Im reading this and "essentially" he reboots into recovery through fastboot screen and then runs
adb shell nohup /sbin/recovery &
to bring up the menu. I did not realize it was this complicated for desire recovery. I thought its similar to nexus.
As for flashing, in my script i give the option of choosing boot/flash. You can try those, i doubt itll work on desire now tht i think about it.

Daneshm90 for the moment, the recovery for Desire is write protected, we can't change it to another custom recovery, at the moment, we only can launch it from red triangle recovery mode pushing files and using the command that you say.

F.A.Q
Q: Which versions of .NET Framework do i have?"
A: Navigate with the Windows explorer to "%systemroot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework". There you can see some folders with the version of .NET Framework as their names.
Q: If I try to start the exe file i get this error: "Application failed to initialize (0x0000135)"
A: Your .NET Framework version is too old. Download version 3.5 here.
Q: If I try to start the exe file i get this error: "unable to find a version of the runtime to run this application"
A: That means that you have installed .NET Framework 4.0. But 4.0 hasn't include 3.5. Download version 3.5 here.

[MOD/THEME]Off Screen Charging MOD

Before We Start
Disclamer:​
By doing his to your phone you take full responsibility to whatever happens on your device. The developer will NOT be held responsible to whatever happens on your device. Of course, this has been tested but whatever happens on your device will not be held against the developer.
Now to the good stuff
Today I Will Show You How To Modify The Off Screen Charging Images To Your Liking
Things you will need :​
[*]M8 Duh
[*]Computer With Fastboot
[*]A Photo Editor
[*]A Tool To Unpack Recovery.img's
[*]About 10 to 30min of your time
Common Sense
So Lets Get Started​First Decompile Your IMG I will Be Using This To Decompile My IMG
if your using the same tool as me then drag and drop the img on unpack.bat as seen in the picture
next navigate​ramdisk
res
offmode_charging_images
this is where we will be doing our modifying :laugh:
Now that you have your img decompiled and your in the offmode_charging_images folder
open up your fave image editor I will be using gimp(because its free and im broke lol)
key things here I kept my images at stock depth 600x362 I did not go any higher as I would think it would mess up you can try your self if you can go higher tell ME!!!
Now if you made pngs the format go's like this 0,1,2,3,4 the rest 5,6,7,8 and 9 just loop the first ones so just copy them and rename if you did not make new pngs just overwrite them
once your done messing with the pngs repack the imgs with the unpackimg.bat
now take image-new.img and put it in your fastboot folder and flash it with fastboot
Code:
flash recovery image-new.img
*NOTE* check to see if you can get in to recovery after flashing your new one
if not you messed up some where​
now power down your device and plug it in if you see your new modified images congrats

[Linux] [Plasma Desktop - alpine] pmOS Latest Edge

Important : This is only a test release and should be treated as such. Use this modification at your own risk.
This package was built using pmbootstrap : https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Installation_guide

Screenshot from the A205F Model. Won't be providing any more.
Check https://kde.org/ for more information about KDE.​
Know before you go -
- Bold text might contain crucial information, so read carefully.
- This DE runs on Alpine Linux.
- It has a partially working KDE Plasma Desktop.
- Working in Linux gives you endless possibilities. You might be able to make those things work that I couldn't.
- You need to have a basic knowledge of Linux Troubleshooting.
What works -
- OTG works, meaning it supports storage devices, mouse and keyboard. Ethernet works with some tweaks.
- SD Card
- Basic programs included in the distro run fine.
- Touchscreen
- Power Button. (Brings up the power menu)
What doesn't work -
- Screen Rotation is broken. So Portrait mode is the only option.
- Every sensor is broken. Including WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC, Camera, etc.. Sound is not supported.
- Volume buttons.
- Any type of SIM & Calling Support is off limits. It is never going to work on this phone, the kernel development is dead.
- Firefox crashes on opening heavy websites.
- Installing themes might break the UI.
---------------------
Requirements -
- A custom recovery, preferably TWRP.
- An SD Card with at least 1 GB of free space.
- A keyboard. Proper On Screen Keyboard isn't included.
Installation Instructions
--------
(only tested on A205F) (might or might not work for others)
--------------------------------
1. Download zip from the link below.
Download Here
(Google Drive)
​2. Take a backup of the BOOT & DATA partition. Internal Storage is going to be erased.
3. Copy the file you downloaded to your SD Card.
4. Boot into recovery and unmount everything except the SD Card.
5. Flash the file like you normally would. Ignore any mount errors.
Default Password :
Username - admin
(if prompts)
Password - 123456
The system partition on your phone stays untouched. But you already know the risks. I won't be providing any troubleshooting help.
Disclaimer -
I didn't code anything in this whole project. It was simply built with the utilities that were available, instructions to build are in the second line of this thread. I was inspired to look into Linux for A20 by this thread. I won't be accepting any criticism since I'm not involved in the development of this project.
And finally, English Is not even my third language. I won't be taking responsibility for a Headache or Eye trauma.
