Second Boot Screen(Android Screen)

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?

[Q] Boot animation creation - What is being done wrong?

Let me preface this statement with the chance that I may have put this in the wrong thread entirely and if the powers to be deem it to be moved, so be it and I apologize for posting improperly.
Ok, that out of the way, I have an issue! I have taken my time to go through and create a "fade in" effect with a logo that I would like to replace my boot animation with. First and foremost, here are my specs:
Rooted nexus one
Locked bootloaded
Stock ROM, FRF91 2.2
I've examined the stock animation and the custom animations that came included with the boot animation changer app. I have no idea what I am doing wrong but I am sure it has to do something with the desc.txt file. If anyone would be so kind as to modify the attached files (probably just the desc.txt), it would be appreciated. Better yet, explain what I am doing wrong and I will do it myself. Attached is bootanimation.zip with a compression type of *store*, including ~100 .png files.
Much thanks

Please close.

I haven't read your .txt file because I'm at work, but did you compress the .zip? And make sure you're not using transparent images. I heard it causes problems.

Did you try zipping up just the contents? When I unzip the file, it looks like -
/bootanimation/bootanimation/part0/
/bootanimation/bootanimation/desc.txt​
Looking at a known, working bootanimation, it looks like this -
/bootanimation/folders
/bootanimation/desc.txt​
This is a common problem when devs first start out. I've done it myself when signing a new ROM and trying to flash it.

Not too sure what was wrong other than maybe the "false" line breaks in notepad or something.
Opened a shell in cygwin, nano'd the txt file and made my changes. Wrote it, and dos2unix'd it. Proceeded with a "zip -r -0 part*/*.png desc.txt" and everything is working. Although after I figured it out, I appreciate your responses.

its not working for me D:

[Q] Custom Boot Animation (Black Screening)

Hey everyone, it's my first time creating a custom boot animation and I've run into some trouble. After placing my animation on my device whenever it should play I just get a black screen. With any other animation, like one from the internet, it works fine. I've tried changing the resolution of the frames and the settings in desc.txt to my phone's native resolution (540x960), but to no avail. I've included the .zip file for it in my post. Can anyone tell me what I've done wrong?
EDIT: My phone is not rooted, by the way.

Try this...fixed and it works for me now

Thanks! That seem to have fixed it, but there is a white flash whenever part2 loops, and a few black flashes/glitches in between parts. Is there any way to fix this?
Also, what exactly did you do to it?

No, seriously, how did you do that? D:

Answer maybe
Im still pretty new to this too but I had an issue with this the first time I repacked an animation. (the Paint one, cuz i wasnt on HTC)
When I rezipped it the sanim.zip refused to work. After looking at every other boot animation file I had, and learning a lot, i think, i noticed the zip files were all set to store and not compress the files. so when you zip a file, however you do it, set it to "no compression" or "store" on the compression settings. otherwise, i think what happens is your phone has to decompress every image and by the time it would be done with that youve booted.
I used 7zip to do it and it was pretty straightforward.

Boot Animation Creation Help Required

I am not sure why I can't figure out how to make this work, so I am pleading for assistance. I am trying to take the standard Nexus boot animation and make it work for the Moto X. I've already done all the work to the files (cropped them down to our screen size, and removed the ones that were unnecessary). I have included a link to the files I put together, if someone would be so kind as to create the boot animation from them I would really appreciate it!
Edit: Got it to work! Thanks for the help nate! Instead of the files I have now put in place the boot animation and the CLogo I paired together. If you didn't know any better you would think your phone's a Nexus.

Thanks!

I have put a compressed folder in the download link called "files.zip" to make it easier to download all the images. Thanks again to anyone willing to help.

I don't feel like making you one... but here is one that I've made a while back that's the same.
Here you go. Tell me how that works.
Edit: Don't flash this. You need to manually place it in /system/media/ and set the permissions correctly.

I managed to finally make my own version work. I used the desc.txt from the file you uploaded, modded it slightly to match the resolution of the images I had cropped and it worked! No idea why my desc.txt was screwed up before. I paired it with a "Google" clogo on boot, and it's seamless. I'll be posting my results to share here after work today.

[MOD] Customize your Boot Splash + ZIPs in Post#2 + Online Splash Zip Generator

You can generate your own custom boot splash! (You must be S-Off!)
(This is the first picture you see when you boot up your device, before the boot animation starts. The one you also see before booting into recovery.)
How to do it:
Upload a picture to the online boot splash zip generator (http://jobiwan.net:81/bootsplash-m8). (If your picture is not 1080x1920 it will be resized without retaining proportions.)
It generates and downloads a flashable .zip file,
Flash the resulting .zip file in recovery.
Disclaimer:
You have unlocked and rooted your device, flashed custom recoveries, and turned it S-Off, so by now you should know that you have nobody to blame but yourself.
Anyway: This tool is provided as is, with no warranty whatsoever. If you brick your device, I will feel sad for you but I will not be responsible.
Some context:
A while ago I made this tool for the One S Ville. It was the result of mapping out all the partitions and figuring out hboots. See this thread. (Don't flash the zips from that thread on your M8!)
Since then, I have added support for the One M7, it turned out that the .zip files for the Ville are also good for the Ville C2, and I added support for the Desire X.
Now I also added support for the One M8. It is the same as the M7 except for the partition number.
Thanks to @Sneakyghost for testing this version of the online generator.
Also, I did not do the research myself. It was already mapped. Sneaky told me the partition number.
How it works:
On the One M8, partition 12 (/dev/block/mmcblk0p12) contains the boot splash.
The first 4050kB, 4147200 bytes (1080 x 1920 x 2), are raw RGB565 bitmap data.
On boot, this data gets copied into the frame buffer. We can put anything in there.
The boot splash generator resizes your image to 1080x1920 and then converts it to raw 16 bit RGB data.
It then puts the result into a recovery-flashable .zip file. When run on the phone in recovery, it unpacks the raw image file and copies it into partition 12.
Back to stock:
The attached .zip files are recovery flashable. They contain the stock boot splashes. (I took a .zip from the generator and replaced the splash image with the images from extracted RUUs.) So if you ever want the stock splash back, you can flash this. Running a RUU will also flash the stock splash back.
Share & Enjoy!
If you create any cool splashes, that others might like, please post them in this thread with a pictures and zips.

Some splashes that people posted in this thread
These are some splashes that people have posted in this thread: (Images link to zips.)

So was going to ask for this but don't have s-off so didn't ask you about it.

Hey buddy thanks for doing this for us. I also appreciate your permission to put your generator in a frame on venomroms.com - cool gimmick! We do love your work mate. Makes stuff very easy.
Just another warning for those who overread it in the first post: M8 Splash screen sits in Partition 12 - that's where the M7 has its HBOOT!
DO NEVER FLASH THE M8 SPLASH ON THE M7 WITH A RECOVERY ZIP! IT WILL BRICK YOUR M7
(just saying).

Thanks for this i was wondering if i could change that and now i have my answer :good:

heres mine if you want...

Thanks for this useful tool.
If anyone wants the red boot splash to hide the red text on stock hboot, download it here:
View attachment red-bootsplash-m8.zip

i made this one to go with my weed theme

This works perfectly! Thank you very much!
Thought I'd share a black background one that I made from the stock HTC one in the OP. Maybe it'll be of use to someone. :good:

Here's another one. It's a black background with just the HTC logo. :good:

i need the stock bootsplash (but inverted) HTC original logo with powered by android

how can i backup my bootsplash

In an adb shell in recovery mode, you can dd the contents of p12 into a file:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 of=/sdcard/splashbackup.img
To restore, you dd the file back into the block device:
dd if=/sdcard/splashbackup.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12
(Make sure your sdcard is mounted.)
/!\ Be careful:
If you enter the wrong partition number you may have a brick.
For other devices than the M8, the partition number may be different.

cool man thank you...
its been a long time since i dont mess with htc phones... since the HTC One S (Ville)

Just did this one. See attachment.
remember: flash this on the M7 and the device is bricked. This is for M8 only!

Saw this on a t-shirt online and decided to make some of it into a bootscreen.

this looks sick, but a charizard with the htc logo would look more cool
