Hello,
Does anyone know how to change or customize the boot screen (the screen that comes up just after you turn on the device)?
Thanks!
Kosta
funnily enough, if you use the search button up on the right and search for splash screen you will find it.
One hint though, if you don't find it here, try looking in the diamond forum in the same way.....
Umm yeah, right.
On this forum, can't find anything, searched it pretty much with different keywords, and on Diamond, there are only splashes for Diamond. I would like to have the official "TouchPro" splash.
Schaps Advanced Configuration Tool lets you do it, there's an option for Splash Screen and you can browse the device and find an image to use.
That is right, it allows to change the splash screen for the windows, but it doesn't change the boot logo, which appears BEFORE the splash screen. That one I ment. I think that can only be changed through cooking...or am I wrong? I don't want to destroy my device doing something wrong...

Oh, my bad... I haven't actually used it so I wasn't sure what it was/wasn't able to change.
I don't actually have a Touch Pro, but on my old wizard you had to use the RUU to flash a nk.nbf that only had the splash screen in it. Apparently its actually stored in the ROM. I'll hunt around a bit.

Please remember to use Google. Literally: i searched "touch pro splash screen" and the first link that came up had all the info you needed, including the default splash screen.

Haha! that is true, if the price is right, i'm sure some of us would troll around for you!
the first screen is built into the rom and is quite difficult to change
the spalsh screen is welcomehead96.png (or something)

not that hard, the above link details the process and has tools to automate some of it.
Sorry to resurrect an old thread... and I am somewhat of a noob. Here goes- I have a Fuze and I want to get rid of the annoying 3g-Swoosh splash screen. I found the reg tweek to get rid of it and the sound, but I kinda wanted to try to make it something else. After reading this thread, I am not sure if this is right place to ask, as it seems there might have been an easier way... but at least I got here by using the search button.
Not too many options currently, a few splash screens, but other than the HTC Logo and 3G swoosh I do not know of many other replacements for the animated logo.
You can try searching in the HTC Universal forum and see if there are any other replacement animated.gif files.
Because of this lack of splashes and boot screens, I made myself fake BIOS / Boot Screen files to replace the images.
Which you can find here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467977
I found a few screens that replace the ATT 'World Phone' 1st screen. I am cool with keeping that. I am more interested in changing the animated /swoosh part and the immediatly following green screen. I remember it being pretty easy on my old 8525, but somehow this seems like a different ballgame altogether...
Hi,
I'd like to know if it's possible "to loop" the weather animation on the homepage of the HTC HD2. I like it very much and I'd like to see the animation all the time that I see the home.
Thanks in advance.
Must I modify some value in register system?
That's a good question!! Must be possible via the reg - but I cannot find it!!
Thanks.
Anyone know how it can be made?

I reckon it will mean an edit of the files that are the animated weather, but I can't find them. I had a pretty good look round and just couldn't find them anywhere (obvious).
It's gotta be doable, but you've gotta bear in mind that the animation fades in, so a loop may look pretty bad. (Imagine you've got a load of snow falling over your screen and then it just disappears and starts to fade in again, not to mention the sliding of the corner images in snow!)
It's gonna take someone knowing where the files are stored and knowing how to edit them well to make this work. It may simply be too much to ask with the current animations.
I hope not, cos I'd love constant snow on my home page at the minute. It looks great for the few seconds that it does work!
I'm pretty sure what you want will result in huge energy draw and battery will die too fast.
I have searched the forums but cannot find a fix for this.
I am a noob when it comes to rooting/flashing but just rooted my hero and am running ddamage control v2.02, i think it is great but I have always hated the HTC lock screen, the flan one imo is much better.
I looked around and found that by entering
adb remount
adb shell
cd system/app
rm HtcLockScreen.apk
rm HtcLockScreen.odex
reboot
and rebooting the phone I get a messed up version of the flan style lock screen. It was supposed to remove the HTC lock screen and give a flan version. I am thinking that it may be because I did not type exit, but rather safely removed the hardware.
Anyway the problem is that the flan lock screen is the green lock circle that is supposed to slide to the right is in the bottom middle part of the screen, the only way to unlock it is to slide it up/the silent circle must be slid down to enable it to be silenced. Also the time is on the left side, and it is currently 12:15, however the time will show
12:1
5
because of the unusual version of the lock screen.
I looked around and found a fix that was supposed to re add the HTC lock screen, however the fix was for a 1.6 version and I cannot find the thread.
If anyone could help me either reinstall the original HTC Slider or preferably a properly working flan style I would appreciate it. I am thinking that because it is not an official ROM the developer did do a great job, but did not make it with the original flan style.
Here ya go.........................BTW there is no fix yet....

u didnt do anything wrong when deleting the files. the flan screen is messed up on sprint release so far. No one has attempted or has failed to fix is so far
thanks alot, appreciate it. Obviously I would rather have the working HTC Lock screen than a broken flan one.
Did the same way. Could find no way to get the htclockscreen to install again. Pushed it, ran it, whatever...I ended up just re-flashing.

maybe one of the dev out there could look at it and fix it for us. maybe one day.
My HTC Sense lock screen is working again. Thanks for the link again.
I think a majority of Sense users love sense but don't like the lock screen, it is easier to open in the pocket and the flan style is smoother and more natural

Yeah and flan looks better IMO. And being able to silence the phone easily is another plus.

I may be a little late with this..... but i found when i removed the .apk and saved it for replacing later via estrongs I was able to simply copy and past back in /system/app and reboot. my original lockscreen was back with no problem. Although you must have the root options checked in options of estrongs file manager to be able to move the file.
Figured I post up what i found.
Bret
forgot to mention.....
I am sure others may know but you can also download lockbot from the market for free which has a few lockscreens, the pay or pro version has the flan lockscreen and have confirmed it works on DC2.1 treve mixture that I am running with no problems.... battery life good, VVM works, Location spot on, and no prl issues..(anymore)
anyway there my 2 cents And thanks to everyone out here I am starting to learn. All the devs keep it up!!!)Your Awesome
Looked at it a little bit
So, I really wanted to get the Flan Lockscreen working/appearing correctly so I started digging into the layout XMLs in framework-res.apk.
From what I can tell, it's forcing everything into the left 100 pixels of the screen causing things to wrap.
My first thought was to override the widths/heights from the -1 and -2 values to actual screen values (240x320). I updated most of the keyguard*.xml and screen*.xml files (hexedited) but the screen is still garbled. There may be a parent screen that is causing the restriction still though.
My second thought was there's an image file missing or is sized incorrectly. I pulled all the .pngs from DC1.0 (it was working there, correct?) framework-res.apk and placed them in the newer framework-res.apk. This changed the screen so that the slide buttons are at least visible (they weren't showing on DarchLegend at all) even if in the wrong place.
There might be something in the smali code that is preventing things working too... I still need to look into services.jar and policy.jar.
If anyone has any other ideas or insights, please let me know.

Quick question. How are you looking into the .xml files? I tried looking into this as well and got stuck at not being able to view the xmls.

Good work. The heck with the Flan lockscreen, lets figure out how to remove the wallpaper to have a clear lockscreen. LOL

There's a java utility called AXMLPrinter2 that will take the Android XML files and create a text file. Unfortunately it's only a one-way process, so editing of the XML files requires Hex-editing. That's how I edited the status_bar.xml file to change the font from white to black on the Taskbar.

Wow, you have put in a lot for that.
I am running damage control v.2r2 and I believe that because it is not an official rom, damageless did not put in unneccesary android suff, the lockscreen being one of them. Their wouldnt be a point in installing or including in the rom a perfect standard messaging app, if HTC has their own.
However someone earlier in this thread gave me an .apk of the HTC lockscreen after installing it and rebooting it worked perfectly again.
I know this sounds stupid because I have no knowledge of developing at all but is their anyway to get an .apk of the 2.1 or even the 2.0 lock screen and just install it, it seems that it would just repair the broken version in damages rom, and all we would need to do is manually disable the HTC lock screen.
Any thoughts?

The Android lockscreen is part of the framework, separating it out would create other problems within the ROM. There isn't an "Android lockscreen" APK, the code is built into services.jar, framework.jar, policy.jar, and framework-res.apk.
I did have another thought, maybe there's something in the HTC code that is conflicting or overriding the stock settings. I'll take a look at some of the com.htc files tomorrow and see if anything jumps out at me.

that would be great. That sounds about right perhaps their is something in damages rom that are overriding the stock setting?
I wonder though if someone running a stock rooted hero rom, could remove the hero lock screen and get the normal android "menu" lock
You know what? I bet it IS somewith with the HTC settings. Why else would they push out the ROM with all the HTC stuff working and not the Android lockscreen working? Because we're not supposed to be modifying the phone in the first place! So therefore HTC is adjusting the settings without regards to what Android stuff will be broken (because they assume we are going to only use Sense). Good thought.
if i remove it? when i unlock it will i get the animations? like on the normal htc losckreen or no?
A taste- still working on some banding in the images after the resize, once it is fully optimized I'm going to let you guys have it (and it will be finding a home in a custom ROM near you..).

I can't understand what it is.
i like looks pretty cool. i want to figure out how to add boot sounds. is it as simple as adding a "oog" or similar , that would be really awesome with an electrical type sound

It's like transformer-ish metal plates sliding together with a jet-engine 'eye' spinning up in the middle..
The hard part was getting the bootloader screen no screen cap for that
Me and Sharpe are working on a nice theme for his upcoming ROM release (not spilling the beans I hope Sharpe?? ) so this is a teaser..the theme should work for all versions..this is just the boot animation for it..
Going to release this as a raw bootanimation.zip file here in the OP once I get it just right
Hey luna_c666 , any chance of sharing the bootloader screen ? . I wanna incorporate that into my next boot animation
I have the three bootsplash images but getting them in just the right position on a black background will do my head in lol.

Sure just credit me because you are right it was a bit of a pain to reconstruct with accuracy..
Good job. In the future, you might find it easier to simply create a .gif from all the .png files and put that in your initial post as opposed to a youtube video.

Yeah, this was just a test of one of many versions I made, and I made the vid for someone I am working with in development of a custom ROM, and, I also was asked to show a friend over facebook. The youtube video of my test bootanimtation booting on my own TF solved all three of these demands
Also, since it isn't the final version I didn't want to create a gif for it just yet.
Wanted to bump this, let you guys know that it's coming along, I am trying to optimize the images so they won't band so badly before I release it, but in the meantime I have a teaser of a new theme (and more to come of this theme's variants) for the TF101..I've put a good deal of time into it, so I figured I would share a glimpse or two So far I've skinned the notifications bar, buttons, quick panel and some of the random status bar icons (like micro SD, SD, and HDD icons etc.). More to come!
Hello folks, if I can, I'd like to ask for a little bit of help.
Not really anything hard to do, just help me by looking at my logcat and see if anything shouts out at you that I may be needing to do differently or am needing to add or whatever you think may help.
Right now, I have my port booting to the bootanimation. But gets stuck there.
I feel like I am so close to a working Rom.
I am porting from One S - an HDPI device to my Evo 3D CDMA - also HDPI
