I didn't like the regular splash screen (green letters on white background), so i did some research on how I might do this and searched for a better image.
Attached is a PD98IMG.zip file which can be used to replace your splash screen image (the image that is shown first when powered on). Also attached is an image of what the new splash screen will look like.
Install it as you would any other PD98IMG file [PHONE MUST HAVE S-OFF]:
1. Place the file in the root directory of your SD card
2. Power on your phone while holding down on your side volume key
3. After a few seconds, HBOOT will detect the PD98IMG file and ask you if you want to start update
4. Press up on the volume key to install the new splashscreen
5. After update is complete, it will instruct you to press power to reboot
I haven't made an image to use to revert to the original, mainly because i think no one would want to go back to green/white after seeing the silver/black in action!
If requested, I can make an image that will revert to green/white.
I can also make custom splash screens if people are interested!
Post any questions to this thread and I will answer them promptly.
cool i like it, although ENG s-off is not required. radio s-off worked just fine for me. ENG s-off is scary, ide never try it. lol quick question, ive been looking for windows software to resize my images to 480x800 to make my own splash screens, any sugestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the clarification. I'll update OP.
Glad you like it.
I have always used Photoshop, but Picasa 3 from Google will allow you to resize and crop (among other things). I just opened picasa for the first time and it actually looks pretty nice!

Did the best I could... I tried it, and i like it, except i'm not big on white backgrounds
The bigger the resolution of the original image, the better it'll look. Regarding text, it may be best to add text to an image that is already 480x800 to keep it sharp.
The attached thumbnail has been shrunk down.... the real thing looks better. I just wanted to include the thumb so people know what they are getting.
Also, I snagged that silver/black HTC pic from another phone's forums a few days ago. I tried finding it again to give credit to whomever made it, but I couldn't find it. If anyone knows where it was originally posted, lemme know so I can credit the creator.
I like this slash, clean, simple, and dark

Nice. Happy to get rid of that ugly green on white. Now, if only someone would make a matching boot animation.

I'll leave that to someone else.... I doubt anyone wants to see my animation skills.
If you can find an animated GIF or MPEG movie that you like, I can probably do that.

I'm ok with the stock boot animation, if it were colored black and silver like your splash screen, or something similar. I'm sure there is something already out there. I just haven't looked since the boot animation isn't something I see too often.

Thanks to mudknot2005, I have my boot animation. It is green HTC on black, but it looks much better than green on white and it compliments this splash screen nicely. Having removed the long AT&T boot animation now has my phone booting much faster, like it should be booting. Now to find a down animation.

Thanks for this, I hated the bright white screen. Looks much better now.

Yo have to go into HBoot... Power your phone off completely... Hold the volume down while pressing the power button... The phone should see it once your in HBoot... I think you have to press volume up to load it, then reboot... Hope this helps...
If you are doing the above process and still receive error, try redownloading the file...

The above should help you... also make sure the file hasn't been renamed. It should be PD98IMG.zip

Thanks
Unfortunately, I've done all that and double checked....anything else?
Maybe my sd card is corrupting....it has been acting really really strange, not being able to access it...but i'm not touching anything until the next CD rom gets fixed/released...too many variables (process of elimination FTW)

I downloaded the elegant Blues sense theme from the DHD side. I need to change the lock screen back to the default as I have an 8 year old who plays games on the phone and the lock screen says F*CK I can't swim. I downloaded what I thought was a zip to revert back to standard htc lock screen but it didn't do anything. Can someone either make me a zip that has the default lock or tell me how to edit the current one on the phone?
Thanks.
anyone?

Well I tried pulling HTCLockscreen.apk ffrom another ROM and copying it to system/app and I ended up with the AOSP lockscreen.
Seems to me like all you needed to do was go in and delete the png.
edit: never mind I tried flashing one and I got the same thing you did stoopid goofy looking circles.
you still having trouble with the lock screen? I successfully flashed a lock screen with the core droid lock and different background last night.
I'm on cm7 now but thanks

I no longer have an evo and do not actively check any threads i have created for the evo in the past, if you have a question and I do no answer in a timely manner please send me a private message and I'll do my best to help you out.
Heres a boot animation that I found, it's the transformers decepticon logo and digital rain looping, with transformers audio. I don't know who made the original animation to thank them but if someone knows please let me know so I can give them proper credit.
to use this open terminal and type
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource
adb push SPC_final_animation.mp3 /system/customize/resource
Thanks guys, I'm still trying to make a better animation using screen caps from the movie but it's already 3:30 am and my wife is gonna kill me if I do this all night
SPC_final_animation.mp3
bootanimation.zip This is the new resized one it fills the screen properly.
By the way, if theres any problems I'm sorry I'm kind of tired
hey man. nice work. saw this a long time ago, and have been searching for it since. love it. thanks for the contribution.
if you want, i can whip this up into a flashable zip for the peepz
That would make it extremely more convenient, I haven't had time to create a flashable zip

you need to resize both the actual .png files (yes, each one individually) and the desc.txt must be modified to support that resolution you resized to.

Ok I found the problem, the call outs in the base desc file were incorrect, I'll have to change it when I get home and am on my laptop, for some reason the set up is for 320x480 I have no idea how that happened but I will have it changed it'll probably be about 3 hours or so though.
I was waiting for someone to do this! Are the zips flashable through recovery, or do I replace the existing bootanimation file with this one?
Ok I fixed the problem, I'm uploading the new one now it will be in the original post.
Rob the zips I uploaded must be pushed through ADB
DK's are the flashable zips
i'll update my flashables with the new boot.zip probably later tonight.

Here is the audio I have been using with this for a while.
Here is my attempt at making some splashscreens. These are going to be basic till I get back into the swing of doing some these. Just remember to rename to PC36IMG.zip and place at the root of your sd card. And boot into recovery, and when it finds file push volume "up" button to select update.

Hello, i would like to know if you could make a custom splashscreen for me.
id like it to be the attached angel picture but in the center at the very bottom, id like it to read HTC Supersonic in attached font and color, size 14. Thank you!
Can u make these into splash screens please? Just make them centered to fit the screen. Cut the sides if needed. The second one from the top right cornered till it fits the screen. Thanks a lot!

ok i haven't posted in a while but have recently been toying around with my phone again and i recently came across a boot animation i really want on my hero. i know a lot of people have moved on to bigger and better phones but i still use my hero every day i <3 the little phone.
Here's a link to the video of it. i tried changing the numbers in the DESC.txt file to change the resolution to fit the hero but i just get a blank screen then it loads on up. so what am i doing wrong? from what i understand that should be all i need to do to make it fit and work, or is it a bit more involved than that? is there something else that needs to be done like changing the resolution of every part file?

Yes everyone keeps telling me to change the text, but considering the One will be here tomorrow, not worried about it....and i have to do it right or the screen will flash white and have mental issue....some people just edit the .desc file, i don't i remake the boot from scratch to avoid issues.....which can take time to do what i want, i'll have it up here soon...(no work today)
Thats pretty cool. Is there any way you can make one where the TARDIS appears with that signature sound?
