Splash screen? - Hero CDMA Themes and Apps

I really want this splash screen but also dont feel like turning m,y phone into a paperweight. can we use the custom splash screens?

You can do it, but I wouldn't use the insturctions he has there. I have another thread somewhere that has path names that you could push that file to. Then you can edit the boot.xml file and add the new file name. Its not very difficult and it probably won't brick you. I did however mess mine up and had to RUU when I was messing around with it. Still not sure what happened there.

The XML that controls the boot screen is not the Binary XML that's in the APK's and Manifest files. It's actually readable.

here ya go it takes a while on first boot.
Edit: Guess should of put a little info up. This is just a boot screen. It has all the normal boot screens with the droid peeing on the apple as the last one. It's a signed zip file just download put on root of sd card,boot into recovery,flash like any other. Will work on 1.5 not sure on 2.1.
Here's the right color green droid.

It's a boot screen.

I appreciate the bootscreen but I am wondering if we can actually change the splash screen (then one that shows HTC before the bootscreen starts up) or if the GSM hero just got lucky with hacking theirs.

I know they have an unlocked SPL by MoDaCo or Cyanogen that allows commands to change splash screens. If we booted into fastboot and tried it, our phones would turn into $180 paperweights.

here is another image if anyone wants it for there wallpaper

Hey man I dont mean to be picky and im not the OP. But is there anyway to use a different image? The android pissing on apple is great but the android character is not green for some reason. The original link in the OP has a green guy.
Sorry if im being fussy
And just making sure its not my setup, did you make it to have the original hero animation, nexus, and the splash screen?

I'm quite sure that I did both of them without any problems. The splash screen shows for a very long time until the animated boot screen takes over.

what you on about? don't tell me to search! i asked a question so if you didn't wanna answer just don't post. we don't need people like that on here. if you help then help.............. hate people like that. i help many people both on msn and in forum. i never tell anyone to do anything as its their choice.
hmmmmmmmmm if you read what i asked for then you would have replied accordingly. not your fault mate! total waste of a post!
edit: **** don't think that was meant for me............ apologies! still no need for the higher than thou attitude
Going to create some for you they are going to be here:
http://ostebaronen.dk/android/splash/
just download the raw565 files for flashing, to preview look at the other files.
EDIT: There should be 5 of them now. I can convert them for you if you supply me the image through a link or something.

sounds nice.
Did try the tutorial that was linked a few posts up but all i got was wrong digest when i tried to flash it.
Any ideas ?
i've already flashad splash1 but its not possible to flash splash2 atm. Atleast not on the htc branded Saphire
C:\sdk\tools>fastboot flash splash2 android_boot_image_black2.raw565
sending 'splash2' (300 KB)... OKAY
writing 'splash2'... FAILED (remote: partition does not exist!)
Maybe I didn't flash the splash2 afterall. Because I get the same error. Though the second splash image belongs to the ROM, so you should be able to alter that too. Let me investigate!

yea like i stated earlier i did try to alter skittleguys 1.4 with a diff splash but when i applied the update it just came back with wrong digest on the frame-res.apk
Ok, seems like the other boot screen comes from /system/media/boot.gif let me try to alter it to an other one Be right back with results.
Yep thats the one. Instructions are in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3918162
Works on my phone

not on mine thoug. just getting wrong digest
ohh havnt tried replacing that gif, will do not though. would be nice to hear how i fix the wrong digest if its possible
EDIT: replaced gif but that screen last for a whole 2s. i wanna replace the one in frame-res.apk but atm just getting wrong digest
Mine lasts until it finishes booting... Let me investigate your problem though...
Did you resign it after you altered it? Also resign every apk inside it?
EDIT: Yeah, every thread that says something about No digest or wrong digest states that means the package hasn't been signed correctly. You have to sign every apk packages inside the apk file, and the apk file itself.

Help!
I flashed my Vodafone HTC Magic with splash1 and now it keeps showing me the "android" animation, aint getting anyway...
How do i fix this?

Can I get someone to make me a signed zip?

Would someone mind putting the new Sprint Welcome to Now bootscreen in either a signed update.zip or a bootanimation.zip for me.
Thank ya!
Try this.

Well it worked, but on the moment it did its thing then went to a back screen until it was done booting. But thanks for the work regardless
I miss my damned Hero *so Much*
Yea, for some reason, it moves quick from the end of the NOW, when I've done the update, but in the original rom it stops there. Haven't changed anything within bootanimation.zip, so not sure what it does....

you could install CM and then flash the stock boot screen animation over it,
Or you could create your own custom CM build with the stock boot animation

Then google or search the forum. Not sure if the Nexus S works like other phones but you normally would.....
You would first have to find the Nexus One bootanimation.zip (they're the same)
Place it in one of the system folders /system/media/
Reboot and see if it works.

^^ some don't need to be flashed... some do
it depends on the ROM, the method I posted above would probably not do any harm. If it works, it works.. if it doesn't then nothing will change.
Again, I'm not responsible for anything that happens to your phone. Just passing the message by.

Anyone have a flashable zip of the new Android boot screen?

Hey guys anyone have a flashable zip of the new Android animation? I have an insecure boot kernel and I put the files in the right spot but I only get a black screen. I fixed the permissions and made sure I typed "bak" at the end of the original boots. And nothing
You put it in /system/customize/resouce/vzw_bootup.zip?
That's what I did and its working just fine. I also have it set as the down animation.

i eventually figured that out but the only issue im having now is the shortness of the boot. Does yours do the fancy android thing and just keep blinking until it loads?
Yeah, pretty sure that's what it's supposed to do.

[MOD] [BOOTANIMATION] Google Pixel bootsplashs and bootanimations (black and white)

Hi guys. I couldn't find these on our M8 forum, but I have grabbed the black version of the boot animation from the nexus-6p forum. Also included is the matching bootsplash. Everything resized for our 1080x1920 M8 phones.
*Update* 2017-01-07
As requested adding the white versions. I also made a reversed black version that starts with the "G" and ends with "Google", bootsplash_pix_blk_r.zip & bootanimation_pix_blk_r.zip. I may tweak it if anyone else likes it.
You can flash all zips from TWRP recovery.
Enjoy

Is it possible to add the pixel boot sound to the black boot screen please, that would be awesome, I've been trying to add it myself today but not having any luck, the boot screen zip increases in size I'm pretty sure that has something to do with it but I'm hoping you can succeed where so far I've failed lol, Tia for your time and effort it is very appreciated

Unless something has changed, I don't think you add the sound to the animation zip. I believe it's a separate zip in the system folder.

Well I flashed the pixel experience zip when I first noticed the boot sound and got intrigued and tried to rebuild it with the sound and I found the mp3 within the boot screen zip mate, I couldn't find any other.
