So i've got some new splash images I'd like to try out on my phone but most of them are .bmp files and I don't like to use adb to push them, so I'll be needing to convert them to .img files. Does anyone know of a good program that can do this?

Im trying to make my own spash screen but I can't run the bmp convert inside of the zip folder. Any help.
Is there any other bmp to bn converter I can use? Anyone?
just extrac the zip folder and start converter . load your bmp file and save it as a bn file.
Is there anyone that is able to create a program that can perhaps create a selv installing .cab file for splash screens, or similar? Those steps you have to take to change the splash screen now is kind of long and complicated.
Imagine a program with a very simple GUI that can change the picture to the required .bmp, create the necessary .nb and .nbh file, and then maybe a .cab file, or something.
Or is this impossible?
Does anyone feel they have the need for a program like this? Or is it just me that's lazy?
changing the bootscreen requires you to flash the rom
changing the after boot splash could be done using a self installing cab file, you can use wince cab manager to make one, or wait for a programmer like you said to do one that lets you choose what bmp or jpg or png and does the overwriting of the default splash for you. But you cannot do the first boot screen like that, you could make a program that automatically generated the .nbh file for you but you still have to flash it (it cannot be installed within windows mobile)

Hi Everyone, I've been roaming here for the past year with my Hero and recently got my Evo and started modding.. So after searching for an easy way to create the correct stuff for splash screens, I wrote myself a small batch file to complete all the steps except making the suitable bmp file to begin with. I don't know if something like this has been done already, if it has please let me know. Otherwise, Enjoy!
Unzip into new directory (i have one just for splashes)
Prerequisits: Have your 24bit bmp file in the above directory, be in a command prompt window
Usage: create.bat imagefilename (do not add the .bmp extension)
You will be offered to create a seperate copy of the pc36img zip file as your master copy so you can more easily change on the fly if you want.
Script will clean the directory of usage files, run nbimg to convert bmp, run 7zip to create the archive, and offer to create a backup/master copy.
This could be easily ported to a bash script if desired. =)
Mods, if the title or subject matter has been delt with in the past, feel free to let me know and do what you must.

Hi All
Im trying to change the very first splash screen that comes up on my MX Android TV box.
I know its found in the logo.img file which is in the update.zip but have been unsuccesful in unpacking/extracting rle/packing this file.
Ive managed to change the second splash screen (which is within the boot.img) using the dsixdas kitchen, but dont have a clue how to unpack the logo.img - any help/ideas would be much appreciated.
Cheers

Hi, have you found a solution on how to do this? I'm looking for the same thing
logo.img (or logo.bin) is generally a RLE compressed image. There are many tools to unpack/repack, many of them allowing to load your own image, for example this (I've not checked that, just copying the link to you).
You can find all these tools by simply visiting this useful website
To flash new logo.img you can insert into update.zip or dd from recovery into correct partition. Just google it, is very simple to accomplish.
WARNING: be sure to flash the logo.img format which is expected by your phone, or you may end with a brick! I think this is a standard format (same for all devices) but I'm not sure about that.
Hi! i want to edit the bootlogo but its in a .mbn format. can someone tell me how to convert this to an image i can simply edit like .png or if its possible, to edit the .mbn itself wthout converting. Thanks in advance
AFAIK, mbns are compressed files. You should look for a way to decompress it.
A quick search shows that you can decompress it using unyaffs (a linux utility).
i dont have linux so i found a unyaffs version for windows but everytime i open it my antivirus triggers and deletes the program. so i redownloaded it and disabled my av. then i opened it again and it froze, had to open taskmanager to shut it down. are there any other ways to use this tool on Windows?
i found another version of unyaffs for windows but now it says "broken image file" replaced the image twice, still didnt work.its not broken as its the same image that is loaded when i boot my phone up. HELP!
well, its finally extracted and edited, but how do i put it back?

nevermind, it works now! i used paint.net and the rgb565 plugin
Glad you found answers to your questions yourself, well almost for all you asked:good:
