Black HTC boot and splash screens (with preview)

After searching for a black replacement for both boot screen (the one with "quietly brilliant") and splash screen (the one that shows when you power up the phone) I found some but they had some problems like the animation was too fast or the splash screen was not the same as the original, so I decided to create them.
As I'm not allowed to post any images, in the attachment below you will find previews of both images.
Also in the attachment you will find both original HTC screens and the black ones created by me.
INSTALLING
For boot screens just replace the leo_animated.gif in your windows folder.
For splash screens place leoimg.nbh in the root of your storage card and flash through HSPL boot loader. (In the leoimg.nbh files are both splash and subsplash pictures)

any screen shot?

Whenever I try to insert a picture to the post I get an error message telling me that I cannot post external links because I'm a new member and a moderator should check the thread first but nothing happens from there.
thats why i inserted inside the attachment previews of the screens.

Thanks G-ThGraf. This is converted from the original with 104 frames and same duration.

Ok. I like it. How to install it?

Im assuming this will also work for the welcomehead as well?

No I havent changed the welcomehead cause I like the orange one.

Yeah sorry, wasnt thinking straight, course it wouldnt work cos its animated.....
Im gonna make my own welcomehead but I just wanna double check what dimensions the file should be, if someone could let me know that would be much appreciated.
Also, Im assuming upon booting the device a copy of welcomehead.192 is created which then becomes the file called "welcomehead" but why are the files so different in size??
Is it just a case of replacing the welcomehead.192 or both of the files? and should both be the same dimensions etc?
Any help, much appreciated......

welcomehead192 and welcomehead are 2 diferent files. I think welcomehead192 is shown when the device is booting for the first time to show the progress bar. and welcomehead is showing up every time you boot your phone. the dimensions should be 480x800for HD2. The reason that microsoft has it 800x800 I believe is for covering both landscape and portrait orientations of the screen.

in the zip you downloaded you have both the original and black ones.
To revert back to original white, simply put leoimg.nbh from folder "original" in the root of your sd card and flas throught bootloader

This is happening because your nbh file has only the splash image and you are missing the subsplash image.
If you can upload your nbh file I'll try to fix it

thats what im tryin to avoid in case i wanted to change it in the future.. i flashed a new rom with a flash screen and the htc screen still came up.. thats the part i dont want..

you have to insert the same image.nb file to both splash and subsplash entries of htcrt tool and create your nbh file with or without an os

Simple XDA splash, black

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.

Requirements:
- At this time only phone's with a resolution of 480x800 will do.
- Remember, in order to flash custom splash screens, you must have s-off which can be obtained using alpharev.
- Before you click the "Push to Phone" button, make sure your device has the USB Debugging feature enabled.
(Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB debugging)
How the magic works:
- This tool will first convert your selected image to the appropriate file format (splash1.img).
- It will then try to reboot your phone using ADB (Command used: adb.exe reboot bootloader).
- While rebooting your phone this tool will start a fastboot session (fastboot.exe flash splash1 splash1.img)
- If the phone is rebooted into the bootloader, it will execute the actual flashing process
- After flashing this tool will reboot your phone once again to finish the whole process (fastboot.exe reboot)

where is this image located? i wanna do it for my custom rom

Hi,
How does it work ?
When I click "Push to Phone", it say "Please wait while your phone is rebooting" during about 1 second and nothing.

Cool question!
Behind the scenes of this tool I'm doing some fancy conversions to the image.
This results in a flash-able file called splash1.img.
This image is then flashed to splash1 with the command: fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img.
Thing you have to do is create the file splash1.img and incorporate the flashing procedure into your update script.
I don't have any experience in that procedure, but going to try it out.
It should work, others have done this before.
Will be back for this one
For now, take a look at this thread.
It should make some things clear for you I think.

Do you have S-OFF?

Yes I have S-OFF. I'm trying to restore my splash screen to the original one (I'm currently having the alpharev joker)

It works!! finally i can get rid of the joker!!

Amazing.
Just suggest reduce a little bit the Window. The button isn't showed in 1280x800 correctly
And please, add the information about, WHEN click on PUSH TO PHONE (HBOOT,FASTBOOT,Charge Only with debug...)
Regards and thank you

This is in the General section so does it work with OTHER phones, my screen res isnt the one specified, do i still need S OFF or is that for HTC phones?
If it doesnt work for any other phones can we get it moved to the HTC section?

It will work for other phones as well, as long as the resolution is 480x800 (for now) and you have S-OFF.
Will be working on compatibility for other resolution soon.

Looking again into the compatibility it indeed seems to only work on HTC devices.
Seems like S-Off is a htc thing.
Hope someone with a galaxy S phone can test this, don't know if flashing is a problem.
If that's the case I would have to take a different approach.
My aim is to make it device independent.

This sometimes happens to me to, temporary workaround to this could be: close the app and try again.
Has something to do with kicking off adb the first time.
It just hangs, but when you try it the second time it should be already running in the background.
I'm currently rebuilding the whole app, upcoming release would fix it, but for now, try it a second time

You should try to make a version that can do an animation splash screen, that'd be awesome. Its still a cool app though.

[BOOT ANIMATION]Android BIOS boot animation for Revolution HD Sensation Edition

Forgive me if something similar was already posted, but I did not see a Sensation specific posting of this animation.
I went through and modified the frames to allow for more accuracy in terms of specs for our devices.
Based on gimj01's http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=947688, which in turn is based on frysee's http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=648555.
Just thought I might share my edits with everyone. If gimj01 and frysee do not want me to have this posted let me know and I will remove it.

BTW: if somebody gets standard bootanimation after replacing try following:
- flash via adb
- power down the sensation
- remove battery and place it in again
- start your phone!

hehe looking good bro

Here are instructions I copied from another boot animation thread (saved me from typing them!!! Lol!)....
Instructions to install:
[NOTE YOU MUST HAVE YOUR DEVICE S-OFF BEFORE ATTEMPTING THIS]
1.Back-up stock boot animation (if you want to) which is found in /system/customize/resource using root explorer or ES file explorer
2.Delete the stock boot animation after backing up and replace it with the bootanimation.zip included in this post in the same directory as before
Then reboot!
Simples!
@AndroTMO
Nice animation by the way, any chance of a Splash screen to match? Perhaps just the Energy Star logo + sensation details (ie the 1st frame of the animantion) with the "HTC quietly brilliant" logo beneath?

awesome bootscreen! got anything for us on the downscreen along similar lines?

This method works perfectly except for one difference for T-mobile users- TMOUS people running the stock ROM need to replace the TMOUS_bootanimation.zip instead of the bootanimation.zip.

FYI- I found the down animations in the same folder as the boot animations.

Thanks for the #11 post.
Now that my device has S-OFF I would like this boot loader.
I see the path you mentioned using root explorer, but not sure how to get the downloaded files from my computer to the directory on the HTC Sensation.
Any advice please?
T.I.A.

All you have to do is connect your phone via USB & drag the file to your SD card. Then, use Root Explorer(market app) to copy them to the proper directory & rename them. Make sure you copy the original animations to somewhere safe on your SD card just in case you need to restore them for any reason.

kabuk1 you rock!
Your instructions are crystal clear and very easy to understand.
Thank you for taking the time to help

Happen to remember the name of the .zip that is needed? I no longer have a down anim due to my ROM.

Is it called downanimation.zip

I like it. Unfortunately, it's the wrong resolution for sensation. 480x800 instead of 540x960 so it looks interpolated and blurry ;/
Edit: here's a modded 540x960 version I just whipped up.

I used this one and it looks great, thanks! Just for fun I also took the first image from the boot sequence and flashed that as my splash screen to replace the white screen with HTC on it prior to the boot animation.
Now when I turn on my phone, the splash screen comes up as the Energy Star image with some text, then once it goes to the boot animation it just looks like its still booting up. Kinda cool I think.
Thanks again!

[Splash Screens](Updated 02/06/2012)Diablo67's Splash Screens 4 EVO

Hey guys,i have decided to create splash screens,so i figured i would post a few,let you guys get the idea and then let you guys request the rest.
If any rom developers want splash screens made for your roms,just pm me with the requested rom and text you would like me to input.
I have tested everyone of these splashes and they all work 100%.You have to be rooted to install these on your phone.
I had a few requests to post the method i use to create splash screens,so here we go..
Splash screen tutorial:
Before you attempt to use this tool, please note that conversion from bitmap to splash screen image as well as flashing the resulting image works with any Android device with any screen resolution but conversion of a splash screen image file into a bitmap works only with images for device having a screen resolution of 480 x 800 pixels.
Also note that to be able to flash a custom splash screen, your phone must be fully rooted and must have an unlocked bootloader.
Using the script is very simple and anyone should be able to do so by following these simple instructions.
Convert and flash splash screen to your device from bitmap file
1.Download Splash Screen Creator from the link given below and extract the contents of the zip file to a folder on your computer.
2.Put the bitmap file (with .bmp extension) that you want to convert into a splash screen and flash to your device, into the same folder as the files extracted in Step 1. Make absolutely sure that the resolution of the bitmap file is exactly the same as the screen resolution of your device.
3.Name the bitmap file ‘SPLASH.BMP’. Any other name will not work.
4.Connect your device to your computer via USB and make sure it is properly recognized by the computer i.e. its drivers are installed.
5.From the files extracted in Step 1, run the ‘RUN THIS ONE.bat’ file by double-clicking on it. You will see the following window
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
6.In the DOS window, enter ‘1’. It will convert the bitmap to a splash screen image file.
7.Once the conversion is done, the script will ask you if you want to flash the image to your phone as well. If you want to do so, press 1 and wait patiently while it is flashed. If you just wanted the converted splash screen image, press 2 here and the script will end.
8.Do NOT unplug your phone from your computer while the image is being flashed.
9.Once the image has been flashed, you may close the script.
Convert splash screen file into bitmap file
1.Download Splash Screen Creator from the link given below and extract the contents of the zip file to a folder on your computer.
2.Put the SPLASH.IMG splash screen image file that you want to convert into a bitmap, into the same folder as the files extracted in Step 1. Make absolutely sure that the image is 480 x 800 pixels.
3.From the files extracted in Step 1, run the ‘RUN THIS ONE.bat’ file by double-clicking on it.
4.In the DOS window, enter ‘2’. It will convert the SPLASH.IMG file into a SPLASH.BMP.
5.Once the conversion is done, you may use the SPLASH.BMP file in any way, edit it the way you want and then convert it back into SPLASH.IMG and flash it to your device using the above method.
Original Thread
Splash Screen Creator
You can download the stock splash from below as an attached file.
Instructions:
1)Download the splash screen that you desire.
2)Copy the splash screen(PC36IMG.zip,it has to be named to this!)to the root(first level of the sd cards folder)of your SD card.
3)Power off your phone,wait 10 seconds,then hold the volume rocker in the down position and power on,you will boot into Hboot.(If you have the multi power mod,then you can skip this step and go straight to Hboot from home screen).
4)When in Hboot,wait for Hboot to load,it takes a second,when loaded,it will ask you if you want to install the update,push the volume rocker in the up position to install the update(splash screen).(sometimes when you boot into Hboot it will be in fastboot mode,just scroll to Hboot if it already is'nt there and hit the power button to boot into Hboot).
5)It will then ask if you want to reboot,hold up on the volume rocker to reboot your phone back to your home screen.(on your way back,check out your new splash screen).
6)Once back in your phone,go to a file explorer of your choice and go to the root of your sd card and remove the PC36IMG file,so it does'nt try to update the next time you boot into Hboot.

Thanks bro,i appreciate the stock splash.

The screens seem awefully skewed and stretched. If you create the image at the dimensions necessary for the splash screen then it won't skew like that. Seems like you created this images at a different dimension and then changed them. Hrm..

Look dude i think i know the dimensions,maybe its your brain.The screenshots from the host was scaled down so the smaller you go,the crisper the image becomes.

Nice work. I'm always messing with these the more the merrier!

If you have any requests,just post the pic and the font and text wanted in the splash and ill upload it for you.

Think he just means that since you are using some outside images that they should fit. Doesn't take much to resize. I think that's what he means. Some don't look right, that's all. No biggie.
Anywho. Good look on the collection.

Sorry for the delayed response. I wasn't referring to the actual dimensions of the splash screens. I was referring to the objects in the splash screen, i guess they seem a little skewed. If you are re-sizing images on separate layers try holding shift while re-sizing (assuming you are using Photoshop). It will keep the correct dimensions.
Sorry if I seemed like I was giving you an attitude, I appreciate the work that you do!

The splash screens are looking good! I've tried out a couple but like the fourth the best.
