Custom initial boot splash screens in full 480x640 - 2nd Round Posted

Using the tools and info from pfcsabre and the below link I created some initial splash screen .nbh files. This replaces the very first picture you see when you turn on your phone and displays your radio version and such. If you want to make your own use this link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436105
Since I spent a little bit of time making these files and other files I haven't uploaded yet, I figured I would share them. I will probably upload more later.
Instructions: - Make sure your phone is Hard-SPL
1. Download the RaphaelCustomRUU.zip and unzip it to the RaphaelCustomRUU.exe file.
2. Download one of the Splash.zip files and unzip it to the same folder as the RaphaelCustomRUU.exe file (Make sure there is only 1 .nbh file in the same folder as the .exe,,, if you download multiple splashes put them in a subfolder)
3. Connect your phone to your PC and Run the RaphaelCustomRUU.exe file and follow the prompts. Its the exact same method as burning a ROM, but these files only replace the Splash screen and nothing else.
4. It will take about 20-30 seconds to burn and your phone will reboot displaying the pics in full 480*640 resolution.
5. These look incredible when you first boot up your phone.

I just overwrite the image to what the default boot screen was. (You can find out what the original filename was somewhere in Advanced Config)

This process changes the 1st boot screen, the one with the red letters in the lower right corner. It cannot be done within Windows by overwriting a file, it must be burnt in. When turning on your phone you can have up to 4 pictures, This boot screen process, follow by up to 2 splash screens (usually windows & operator splashes), then your wallpaper.

Custom Boot Not Working (Black Screen)

So I can't get my custom boot animation to show. It's just a black screen when i reboot nothing more, I have done the 3rd line trick, I'm pretty sure my desc.txt is correct. I will upload my bootanimation.zip so people can hopefully correct me.
I have the Evo 3D running MIUI.
One more thing is when i copy over my bootanimation.zip to my phone no matter if its adb push or sdcard mount it never copys over the numbers in order. For instance i would copy over my bootanimation.zip and it would go in the order of 1,102,103,115 ect....
EDIT:I realized my files and my desc were not the same name so I changed that..Stupid mistake, I changed the compresion to store instead of normal, I made sure i had a third line using notepad++, and yet i still get a black screen...I think it might be because when i copy over my they don't stay in the order they were in origanlly. I will post a screen shot of this.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Lastly i added the newly updated bootanimation.zip that i tried fixing...
EDIT2:I finally got it to show up!! I think it may have been the pics per second were to fast. I had it at 13 originally and changed it to 5 that seemed to work as it shows now...The only problem im having is the files are still not in order as shown above.

make sure that when you compress the file to zip its set to "store" and the option is set to add and update files.Also make sure that you leave a blank line in the end of the desc.txt file.
(Note) if you have modified the files inside the archive then you have to compress the zip again with the same settings

Lucky Boot Animator

So a few months ago, I decided that I will make a simple Boot Animation. Then, I stumbled upon Lucky Boot Animator, a no-frills boot animation creator that converts videos to boootanimation.zip.
Courtesy of user @fbauto1
The purpose of this app is simple: to create a bootanimation.zip file from any video, and from any video format.
Boot animation creator
**This is a beta release**
I am releasing this in general first to be beta tested by you, my fellow XDA members.
Please report any issue/bugs.
I will need as much feedback as possible.
Thanks
**** Please DO NOT distribute the program. It is still in beta. I will make a final release once bugs are found and fixed. ****
Lucky Boot Animator
This is an automated program that will convert ANY VIDEO of ANY FORMAT into a bootanimation.zip file.
Features:
Can convert virtually any video format.
Able to trim videos.
Creates a preview video which you can upload to youtube or share with others.
Creates a preview GIF file that you can upload to forums to share with others.
Project folder
Notes:
Phone must be rooted.
Your KERNEL MUST ALLOW custom boot animation.
Videos will be SCALED to the width/height you set.
GIF files has a limitation when it comes to color palettes so the GIF file produced may have lower quality than the videos. This is normal. The low quality is ONLY in the GIF file and has NOTHING to do with the boot animation files.
Boot animation will play when your phone is booting up. The boot animation WILL NOT CARE about the length of your video. As soon as it is done booting, the boot animation will stop. IT WILL NOT WAIT TO PLAY THE WHOLE VIDEO.
Basic Steps:
File->Open Video File (You can also drag/drop the file here)
Click on Create Boot Animation!
Move bootanimation.zip to /system/media
Reboot and enjoy your new boot animation!

[GUIDE] Resize any android boot animation, Simple tool.

Hi guys,
this is my first post on xda. I was wondering if there is a way to resize boot animation that are made for other screen resolutions and don't fit your phone.
after searching google i found a photo resizer tool. it can resize photos in batch and can make any boot animation fit to your phone screen size.
this tool is from microsoft and works on windows. just download it and install.
now download any boot animation. extract it's contents. go to each part folder, select all image files, right click and click "resize pictures". select your desired resolution or put some in custom settings, select stretch and ok.. boom.. it is done..
now open desc.txt, change resolution in first line according to your phone DPI.
the first value is width, second is height and third is fps. save.
repack files with winrar or any compression software but don't put compression, just simply store.
screen shots can be found below.

[THEME][TWRP] Change TWRP Splash Screen

Weak Intro :
Well, I find few people who're curious to change their TWRP splash screen and even the themes. Don't know how to do this weird stuff? You're at the right place! . I know few of them might be bored with staring at the same splash screen for a long time. How about trying something crazy? :silly:.
Prerequisites:
1. Knowledge of how to repack/unpack img. If you don't know how to do this, Just follow this thread by @osm0sis: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2073775
2. A TWRP recovery image for our device which can be found here: https://eu.dl.twrp.me/x3/
3. A splash screen image(format in PNG) of your choice.
4. Notepad++ for XML editing. You can get it from here: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v7.5.2.html
5. PATIENCE! :silly:
Procedure:
Ok now that you're happy with the prerequisites, Let's start being crazy!
I assume that you know how to use the Android Image Kitchen by @osm0sis and thereby I'll proceed without any AIK instructions.
Let's start!
1. Extract the TWRP image you wish using the AIK. To do this, Just drag the TWRP image file onto unpackimg.bat file
2. Now you'll find 2 folders.
-> ramdisk
-> spllit_img
{
"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"
}
3. Leave the "split_img" folder aside.(We don't need anything to do with it) and open the "ramdisk" folder.
4. Open the "twres" folder and then right-click on the "splash.xml" file. Then choose Edit with Notepadd++ in the context menu.
5. Scroll down till you find the page XML tag.
6. Now, delete the lines as shown below.
7. Add this line shown below
8. All done! Now you need to get your PNG image of resolution 1920 x 1080(height x width) of your choice.
9. Go to this directory: ramdisk/twres/images. You'll find a file "splashlogo.png". Just Overwrite it with your PNG image and you're done!
10. Finally, you need to pack the modified stuff to make TWRP image. To do this, head onto the AIK folder and then click repackimg.bat. You'll find a a new file in the same folder called "image-new.img". This file is your modified TWRP img. Just flash it and you're good to go.
