Boot animations are not splash screens. Splash screens are like the Moto logo when you power on your xoom.

If you are looking for some boot animations, check out http://www.xoomforums.com/forum/boot-animations/
Thanks for the link but I'm quite happy with the custom boot animation I have. What I did want to change is my SPLASH/LOGO. I suppose everyone else is happy with that " red dual core" moto splash/logo, every time they power on.

It has not been changed because IIRC there is something much more involved and difficult about changing that and the developers just said lets focus on the more important things.

Don't you just love the trolls here on xda ? You ask for one thing and they tell you your wrong or go find this instead of explaining that you can't
Quite simply they can't change it like you can with HTC devices. It looks more or less imbedded in the boot loader or something along those lines

Thanks to the both of you for your explanations. I just thought it was time for a change and hoping someone wanted to be the first to make that change.

It had not been changed, because no one including team tiamat has figured out how to write to the partition.

To flash an image:
1. start your phone up in Fastboot mode. you can do this by holding power and VOL+DOWN.
2. push files to phone: fastboot flash splash1 evosplash1.rgb565
3. reboot phone: fastboot reboot

I hate to ask, but you definitely have the talent, could i trouble you to make a matrix splash screen? Maybe logo or "code" related? Id greatly appreciate it.

I think I can work with this.. Sec.
I was thinking something along the lines like the following, with a little more awesome to it..
Also, suggestion. Place all of your splash screen works in a single thread to consolidate them, and allow them to be found easier.

Hello,
Can anyone please dump the Nexus S Splashscreen?
Is this what you want?
I think they're looking for the splash image, just the white Google screen before the animation. I'm also looking for this actually

Give me the name and location of the file you're after and I'll be happy to pull it for you, but I'm not going to speculate and go hunting, since my last attempt to do so went unacknowledged as being right or wrong, and your original request is (to me) vague...
i dont know the name of the file. but i hoped that here are some genius guys who know what i mean and load the file up.

But I still don't understand what you want.
The word Google on the black background, or the four-color x-shaped boot-animation. That's all that shows on the screen on my phone when I turn it on before the launcher and unlock screen appears.

I used root explorer to take out existing kings boot animation from custom rom and put in the one would android pissing on apple. I put it in system/customize/resource. That's where the old one was. I tried it with the name that the original had "hTC_bootanimation.zip" and even "bootanimation.zip". The old one still pops up and it's not even on the system anymore. I wonder if it is in another location also. When I viewed the old one by clicking and viewing it, for sure that was what boots up. Has anyone seen it is multiple places? Thanks
Checkout data/local to see if is there.
I had the same thing happen when I tried to change mine. I took the olds bootanimation and moved it to my sd (to save it) and put the new one in the resource file, but for some reason it didn't work there so I put it in the media file, rebooted and it worked fine.

It worked like a charm. I googled and googled but only saw references to system/customize/resource. Thank you so much, I should have asked earlier before hours of time spent=). Now I just need to figure out how to change the splash screen.

Thanks again. It's bad ass now, haha. I have the red skull image from gears of war for splash screen then android pissing on apple, sweet. Now I can show all my friends
So, I'm trying to get the GB "screen on" animation working for our ROMS. Ya know, like the screen off animation but opposite? I had it on my CM7 ROM for my droid and liked it.
I figured it should just be a matter of editing the screen enter XML in the framework-res.apk.
So I decompiled both apk's, one from the DROID CM7 rom, and one from the Romulus rom I'm running. Cause I knew that the DROID rom had the animation. However the the XML files are exactly alike after comparing them.
Am I looking in the wrong folder? Wrong XML?
Also need to figure out how to make it a flashable zip after I recompile it. Using apk manager.
Tips anyone? Was up till three last night tearing apart xmls. Would like to work this out for us!

If you are looking for the actual ROM boot animation screen, and not the first Moto screen that is located here:
/system/media/bootanimation.zip
Right now by default on the AT&T phone it is a dripping AT&T logo...
If you want to change the Moto dual core screen or the "breathing" M logo, then good luck with that, that is part of the bootloader itself.
If you are talking about when you hit the power button and turn the screen itself off, then there is going to be more to it than 1 apk. You might want to look at the UI headers and the UI.apks, not the framework-res.apk.
I am just grasping at straws here, since I am in no way a themer, but I do understand the intimate working s of android and ROMs.
You might also try the theme section of the atrix2 forum.

its super easy to change the boot logo too. just create a raw image 540x540 invert blue and green. then save it as logo.bin and flash it with fast boot.

That will not change the dual core M screen though, just the "breathing" M logo... that is an easy one.. the Dual core screen is in the boot image itself I am afraid.
Naw, I've already changed my bootanimation. Got rid of that AT&T crap a while ago lol. No probs with that. And I know that I changed the splash screen on my droid, I pushed it through ADB, but i am assuming that was possible because the DROID's bootloader was unlocked.
Anywho, what I'm looking to change is the actual screen "on" animation for our phones. The animation that happens when you hit the lock button to wake your phone. How the screen comes up. I want it to do the opposite of THIS.
I know it's possible, I just gotta find the right files.

That is why I suggested you take a look at the UI header files and the UI apk files, it is most likely in those, and not the framework files.

Ohhh.. that's the CRT effect... What do you mean by opposite of that? You wanna turn it off? Probably very difficult to change the animation style...
But, to turn it off you'll need to decompile your framework-res and go to /res/values/bools.xml. Change the value for "config_animateScreenLights" to true. That should get rid of it.
Funny, people with other devices are looking to turn CRT effect on.. I actually have no idea what it will do instead of the old tv style off, but let us know if it works.
Edit- wait, just re-read your op.. you wanna give the screen on the crt effect? No idea how one would go about that.. Or maybe what i just wrote will enable that... imma try it out

now I am at a computer and can type a full response... The breathing M logo as you called it is actually part off the default boot animation, which is why it goes away when you change it. the dual core screen is whats called the boot logo and is called by the boot img from the logo.bin "partition" if you will that can be flashed. it is just a raw image with green and red (or maybe green and blue or some other combination) flipped. save that as logo.bin and flash it with fastboot.

Really, that is good to know, I was never able to get the dual core screen to change even with the logo.bin change, I always saw the dual core screen, so I assumed it was in the boot image, like so many other manufactures startups.

OK, I know I've just been rambling to myself basically, but I got it. Had to do some goofy stuff - extract the edited unsignedframework-res.apk, then re-zip it, no compression (store) style, then it worked with the simple bools edit. Never had to do that before for a bools edit, but oh well... So, anyway, if you change it to "true" it will get rid of that CRT style screen close - it just gently fades away now... and so do I...
Could probably piece those few posts together for a small TUT...

Question about The "This build is for development purpose only" warning msg.
So, a quick question.
After researching some threads, it is my understanding that it is normal to have this warning screen for an unlocked HTC One S?
My question is, is it possible to flash a splash screen over it? (I'm guessing it's a splash screen). I don't like this red warning and want it to go away. Can someone please tell me is flashing a custom splash screen will remove it?
Thank you,
GT
Yes, its normal.
But I dont understand why it bothers you
