EDIT: The boot animation has been fixed and now works. Here is a flashable zip:
View attachment SkateBoot.zip
I made a custom boot animation for my phone. It put the files where they belong and it works, but not correctly. When it plays on boot, some of the colors turn black and white is some frames. It's really weird. Does anybody know the problem or would it help if I posted a video? If I can figure out what the problem is, I'll share the flashable boot animation.

Here ya go. I made a flashable zip for you as well. You had it at 128 colors. You have to use Indexed Colors at 256. That was your problem. Enjoy.
It seems to me like everytime I have tried to "optimize" the boot image files, they mess up. It's best to leave them at 256 colors with no optimization at all.

I just tried it too. He said he fixed it but he didn't test it I guess. I'll tell you when I figure out the problem and get it working!
I did test it. In fact, it is still my bootscreen. I will look at after lunch.
Did yours work or not?

It is just blank after the HTC screen for the rest of boot. What ROM are you using? I'm using the newest DamageControl.

I just flashed your apple melting boot screen and it worked. Then I flashed the skate one you fixed for me and now it works after flashing yours!
I just look at the bootscreen folder on my phone and it has the boot2 and boot3 files from your boot still, which weren't there before. I deleted them and rebooted and it stopped working. Any idea why it only works with the other files from you apple melt boot?

You can't just delete the boot files, you have to edit the XML in there as well. It is still looking for the files you deleted.
you have to rename boot animation to BootAnimation, or at least that is what worked for me

in alot of the roms I've used, there have been 3g variations in the files, just not in the right place or named correctly for CDMA. You can grab those if you want or create your own. Name them the same as the ones you want to replace. Open the apk with winzip or whatever app you use, find the files you want to replace, then drag the new ones into the apk.
If you get a prompt about encryption, choose other, then no encryption.
After that, build a folder structure just as if the app would be in the phone.
ex: system/framework/
- place the apk inside of the framework folder, and zip it.
- next you need to sign the zip, I'd use flipz's kitchen
- install via RA (place on sd card, reboot into recovery and install)
how would i open and edit the files?

with your favorite graphic editor, their png files.
beyond that, you might want to make a request in the thread where you got the ROM.
what ROM and addons are you using anyway?

hey man thanks!!
but, back to the long way. i found the right file, (using regaw mod, comes with the 3g icon) what do i change it to?
thank you for the zip I booted into recovery and flashed it but i still have the EV?
it's not a zip you flash. Download metamorph from the market, and install it from there.
and mountain... I just used the default 3g icons in framework-res.apk and placed them into com.htc.resources.apk with the metamorph
thankx guys I got it working
no problem
I installed MetaMorph, but at the beginning it says start basic checks to see if your phone can run, and it just hangs there and says its not responding, asks to wait or FC, please help
7/11: I have posted new versions of each. The white is toned down a bit to match the HTC EVO emblem, and not be overwhelming. And both fonts have been smoothed so it looks much better.
I also changed the file in each zip to contain the correct name so those of you having problems should be able to run the command without changing filenames.
Mirrors also added!
Hey guys, I made this to represent xda when I boot
Thought I would share
The files attached can be flashed through bootloader.
Boot your phone into fastboot (hold vol up key while powering phone on, select fastboot)
Now open command. To verify your computer is recognizing your phone, type
Code:
fastboot devices
This should list your device. After that, you want to unzip the file you downloaded and place it in your android sdk tools folder.
Now, back in command, change to your tools directory and enter
Code:
fastboot flash splash1 splash.raw565
Remember to back up anything you don't wanna lose, and nandroid. Not responsible for anything that happens if you don't
That said I have flashed it and it works.. enjoy

Are you booted in fastboot? Did you put the raw file into your sdk folder?
If not maybe it needs the original raw file in there too.. I didn't think it should tho. If you wanna try I have attached it. You could try dropping that in tools too and running the same command. Even though thats not the file its looking for.. so it leads me to believe one of previous should fix it
It looks awesome. I think I will leave that one on there for a while. Well at least a couple of days
I flashed mine a little differently though. I changed the name of the file to evosplash1.rgb565 and ran
fastboot flash splash1 evosplash1.rgb565

It worked great. Im not sure if your command accomplishes the same thing though (noobness talking)
Edit - Forgot to say thanks!
Love it man! The second I saw it, I HAD to flash it!
Thank You
says cannot load the file..not sure what i'm doing, my sdk tools is on my desktop do i need to cd to it or what.
EDIT: nevermind, sometimes i'm so stupid
Looks great
I have a desaturated theme going on so the orangish color won't work. Might use it in the future... unless you want to make a black/white version <3

I think I figured out your problem. I forgot I changed the names of these files before zipping them so you will need to change them to splash and then run the command. I've added new versions anyway with the correct file names so you can try those too.

I tried both ES file explorer and Root explorer, those are my go-to tools, and yeah that's what I do, overwrite the existing files. Worked fine for spinning earth but not for night sky, even when I tried restoring the stock boot animation first (I always copy the stock files to a secure location first)
Not sure what to tell you. If its doing that with stock boot files too it would indicate another issue. Maybe clear cash in recovery
