I have personally confirmed this to be working on the original and updated firmware!! So no matter what you've done to your Sensation, this should work.
All this hooking up the phone to a computer to flash a new splash screen through fastboot or packing PM85IMG.zip files with a new splash is all WAY more complicated than this needs to be. I detailed this out in another splash screen thread but it's buried in the thread and I want people to be able to have easy access to this information.
You can keep various splash screens on the phone ready to be switched as the mood strikes you when you're out and about since almost 1 click access.
Here's what you do.
Creating a new Splash Screen...
First you have to make or get new splash screens. You can get them pre made all over this forum. If you make your own, convert them to img files using these instructions.
Now that you've got fancy splash screens to play with....
Create a directory on your SD Card called "splashscreens" (Or whatever you'd like to call it). This is just a place to store your splashes.
Put all of your *.IMG splash screen files there. Just be sure to name them descriptively since you won't be able to view them in img format. So if you have a splash screen of the Joker, call the file Joker.img and the splash screen of Batman as batman.img so you know which files are which. You get the idea.
Got that part? Great. You're halfway home. And you're all set up already for the next time too!
Flashing a new Splash Screen to your phone...
Now download an app call GScript from the market. It's free. All it is is basically a terminal emulator that saves scripts so you can run them off a menu instead of typing them out each time. (Brilliant, huh?!)
Save the following line as a script. Make sure it's EXACT.
dd if=/mnt/sdcard/splashscreens/custom.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14
Be sure to check that this GScript script needs SU access. (There's a box to check)
Now run it, and it'll find that Joker.img that you renamed to custom.img in your splashscreen directory and flash it to the right place in the phone.
Want to use another image tomorrow? Just rename custom.img back to joker.img so you'll know what it is next time, rename the new image file to custom.img. Go back to GScript and click your saved splash screen flashing script and boom! New splash screen. Go you, you're more awesome than your friends!
If you type the script in right the first time, it's 100% idiot proof the next 1000 times.
Warnings...
Do NOT use this script on other devices. Another device will keep the splash screen in a different spot and you might flash your splash screen over top of something far more important. The method should work on at least most HTC devices, but the exact location will be different for most. For example it's blk16 on the MyTouch 4G.
The images for flashing still have to be properly formatted as 960x540 IMG files. You can use the other tools linked earlier in this post for that. This won't magically make any old 200x200 JPEG into an awesome splash screen.
If you botch it, it's not my fault. I literally just did this seconds ago and it works like a charm if you do it right.
And if this is still too much for you, look up BootFlash on the market. For 99 cents it apparently does everything for you. (But it's not nearly as nerdy!)
Here's a few I made to get you started.
I didn't create any of the elements in these images. I just mixed and matched existing elements I found online. (Though I did type "Who ya gonna call?" without even needing spell check!)
The embedded images are JPEG's because that's how Photobucket rolls. The attached ZIP file contains the BMP and IMG version of all 3 pictures so you can either convert them yourself or just flash them right away.

You are a little late, there is already a similar thread and bootflash pro from the market is really the best way to go to flash a new splash screen. Good work on the splash screens though!!

Thanks Skipjack, i might look at this and see if you can copy from the pc to the phone with the same method,
then add that to my batch script if it works of course

that's a little unfair, Skipjack had posted this method before but it hadn't been verified as working on this new FW, so credit to him for testing it. I am happy that there is this option and the one i have created, I am 100% for the free method though and will never use or recommend an app solution!

I've never tried that, so I'm just guessing....but I don't know why you wouldn't be able to. I think ADB gives you access to the mmc blocks. (I said I think, not I know)
If it does, this should work fine.

I figured I had just flashed the new firmware...had a fresh nandroid backup....and the FW PM58IMG file was still on the SD Card. If it screwed anything up I could just reflash the firmware again in 5 minutes and be no worse off for wear.
And yeah about the BootFlash app...it probably works great. But I don't like having apps write to the dark corners of my phone without knowing exactly how the app works. It just takes 1 thing to go wrong for the app to think it's running on a different phone and write the splash file to block 17 instead of 14 and suddenly you've got a splash screen where something more important used to be.
Plus, that app takes any image off your phone....sends it to a server somewhere and converts it to a properly sized IMG file and send it back and then flashes it. That's a lot going on....and a lot of steps where something could get botched. It probably works 99.999999999% of the time. You could probably use it for years and never have a problem. But for some people, like me who are control freaks, that's not good enough. I like knowing each step of the process and being able to see if each step works right. But that's me. If you want to try BootFlash, go for it! I'm sure it'll work fine. If you don't like giving up that kind of control, use my method. (I say 'my' loosely. I didn't invent this. I just ported it from the MyTouch 4G where other smart people created it and tested it on the Sensation.)
this really is the easiest way, i have always flashed my splash screens like this. tried a few of the tools and they are just too much work rather than just typing in the command.

I'm sure he has. And the developer might be a great programmer. It doesn't mean I'm willing to trust an app made by someone I know nothing about to write to my mmc blocks.
Even then, it's that the app is made for use with multiple devices that freaks me out. When the app gets updated, if the developer swaps the Sensation script to the MyTouch by accident and boom...you've flash to the wrong file.
For me, I wouldn't take that risk. But that's me. I'm a wuss like that.
I'm sure BootFlash works fine. This method is for people who prefer to do it themselves.

What if the server that runs that file conversion program is down?
Servers do go down. It happens.
You'll be stuck with the splash screen you have for minutes...maybe hours! Your friends will think you're a loser because you can't change your splash screen!!!! They will abandon you. You'll still have hope to meet a beautiful girl who will love and marry you....if only you introduce yourself by buying her a drink. But alas....you're $1 short of what you'd need to buy a drink so you'll never meet her and you will grow old and die alone! If only you hadn't spent that $1 on BootFlash because you didn't want to set up a simple local script.
Seriously though BootFlash is great. This is an alternative to that if you prefer to do things manually.

That sort of thing can happen easily with these "flash anything" apps.

Yes. All GScript is is a terminal emulator clone that saves scripts.
Everything works exactly the same if you typr it into terminal emulator
But you deffinately needto su first

Great! Works like a charm! I was lazy and bought BootFlash Pro, and it didn't work. Considering the time wasted playin' in Photoshop for a while to get that awesome image, the additional nbimg step to make it work is not that much of a trouble. I used Android Tuner Free instead of Gscript, so any program that can save scripts is fine. BUMP4thegreatergood! Thank you!

NICE!!!
I just loaded the splash.img, in the attachment (i found it somwhere on the forum and converted it), by your instructions in teh guide... it works gr8.
I actualy couldn't do it with standard Terminal emulator. I did it with GScript. I had some doubts as the GScript force closes after some test sctipt runs... and when i inserted the command from the duide it also FC-ed but it loaded the Splash.img succesfully. :victory:
Thank you.

feel free to hit me up on twitter @snakebitezz and also my blog is at http://snakebitezz.blogspot.com so drop a line i will add a post to allow for custom boot requests
for safety reasons I would only suggest pushing this to /data/local and renaming it to just "bootanimation.zip as with cyanogen mod it looks here first if you havent used the above script

you know, if you wernt such a **** and learned how a bootanimation worked youd realize that its a series of pngs stored in folders within a zip, played in sequence as described by a text file
simply open the zip, look at the pngs and voila, you now know if you would like it or not, dont be so lazy
with that said, snake i havn't look at these bootanimations, nor can i see the images, but if you email me the images ill upload them to my server and give you the proper tags to use to place the images in here

example in the desc.txt

I dont expect you, 100's or even 1000's to download anything. It is a choice you can make on your own. If you dont want to download something because there isnt a picture, then thats your choice. There is no need to be a complete **** to someone who took the time to make several bootanimations. He made these for himself mainly, and decided to post them here to share with everyone else. Once again, if not having a picture stops you from downloading, by all means dont download it. But please do not go and flame a OP for sharing some of his own work with the community.
Your over use of curse words as well as half wit insults hardly earn you any respect in a thread, hows that for a lesson?
Lol arguing? no ones arguing. i made a comment to the OP and woot thought he was a smartypants because he knows how to work a boot .zip
im simply defending my OP, stating its common sense and all the better for bandwidth etc.
@woot
when did i flame him? lol did i call him a **** like you decided to call me? i simply commented in regards to his post, and regards to him asking how to post pictures.
and about me using curse words dont earn me respect, what are u even talking about since u decided to call me a lazy ****? maybe learn to read as i didnt flame no one and u over stepped the line.

Here are the directions I'm following. http://code.google.com/p/adw-launcher-android/wiki/CompleteGuideToADW
I don't get the android option. Here's the picture

If I click file new and then click other I get this...
Now I'm assuming I'm on the right track right?
Well then I go to open the theme template and it won't let me open it. The finish button is greyed out and not selectable.
Am I missing something here?? I may have screwed a step up but, for the life of me, I can't figure out where.
Ok so your doing it correctly you just don't have any installed packages to work from. Notice that when you go to make a new android project that you have no available targets in the build target list. You'll need to open the AVD manager in eclipse and then click on the Installed packages and download everything in there, this will give you the android api's in version from 1.6 to 2.2 (its been a while). This will give you target packages to work with for the theme, since its from existing source its should choose 1.6 as the target (that what it did for me).
Heres the screen for where the avd manager is in eclipse. and next is the avd manager packages screen.

Dang it! I was hoping I wouldn't have to install them ALL! D: I only had the 2.2 since I'm using aosp. I guess I'm understanding the numbers wrong. So I need them ALL?? Thanks for the help man

technically you don't but its good practice. If you develop an app you should be concerned with more than just 2.2. To me it looks like you don't have any packages go ahead and install all of them and the optional packages also, they don't take up alot of run and you get more development options.
I love eclipse, amazing what it can do or be leveraged todo. Been using it for almost 7 years.
What was the point in installing the emulator for android? It's cool that I can have a virtual android phone on my pc but is there a point? Do I load the theme in the virtual phone to test functionality before trying it on my phone? Also, how to go about theming the framework? I got the directions for adw but I haven't been able to locate directions for the system.. thanks again bro

Well the emulator can be used to load a program that your developing, and since you can make a bunch you can theoretically make one fore every type of phone out so your app can be tested on different resolutions and across different frameworks.
You can load the framework-res into eclipse but I can tell you its not for a beginner, since you basically have to do it from decompiled source and it's a little tricky. I would suggest just d/l and working from the source (cm6) and compiling that, google doesn't support compile on a windows box but it can be done with some tinkering (cygwin, github). But again that is probably not the easiest way to go about learning android. I would look at the sample apps they have a bunch for each android version (clocks, snake games...) and this will give you a good starting point to then go on to bigger stuff.
Thanks man. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the help. Am I pursuing a good project as a beginner by trying to theme adw? I design video games and I'm just kinda interested in learning android slowly on my own. Looking at the speed that android has grown, I think that in order to stay on top I should learn it soon. I can see within the next 5 years there will be games like cod on an all in one device running an android os of some sort and I'd like to get a jump on that now while there's not a market for it.

Lol sorry for the beginner comment just meant that this is a good place to start. I agree but I imagine it to be more like 2 years before we see stuff like that.

No need to apologize! That's exactly what I am. XD the problem with the system at the moment for really intense games like moh or god of war coming to android is the hardware. I think if we can get something like an ipad with a detachable bluetooth headset built in to the phone then people would be more willing to use it. The problem for now is convenience versus functionality. To have a system we can play games on you need a screen the size of an ipad but that's not easy to stick in your pocket or use as a phone. That's why I said 5 years. I hope it's 5 years! I got some serious work to do if it's 2!!

texting works, im just not too smooth understanding the language, im a stoopid american. got a force close on the phone call test, will wipe all like 5 times each and re-install. i cant sleep anyways, so thanks again for giving me something productive to do. =)
edit : after wiping all 3 times each, phone seems to run a lot faster, this rom loads very quick, even on the 2.6.29 kernel. phone call test works as well, incoming & outgoing tested. no leds, as u stated, ill look around and see what i can do about that
Just make sure to wipe all 3 times before installing the rom.

1st time, went into cwm 2.5.0.7 and went into mounts and formatted system, data, cache, boot 3 times each and then went and wiped dalvik 2 times, rebooted recovery, flashed rom. market would show 2 results under apps, both were games
2nd time, used calkulins format all zip 5 times, wiped dalvik 3 times, rebooted recovery, flashed rom. market will only show book results, apps and games is completely blank.
should i flash gapps or no? i didnt think it was necessary since market was already on the phone
also, not using FR or any scripts

asomething along the line like how the rom devs has the lady talk while downloading rom to phone useing cwm. Just instead of saying downloading, say the current temp in my area.
ive searched and found no app or no way to do this. if theres not a way can someone point me to a
good xml guide so i cam write my own script...im decent in html so think ill be able to pick up xml. thanks.

I may be wrong but I believe that all occurs in the boot loaders which means the OS is not loaded. If it's still in the boot loader process then the kernel modules necessary to access certain functions of the hardware (GPS, modem, etc.) are not loaded yet. That would prevent access to the network. A qualified dev might have to speak to it, though, as I might be off-base.
There is a thread in the themes and apps section to flash linda on your phone. Like Raver previously had on VB. You may start there and try replacing the sound files.

Reread his request. He is asking for something not possible.
During boot your phone is loading the necessary radios and files. The project Linda stuff is preloaded with commands that trigger preloaded sounds. That is not realitime just tirggered by certain scripts running.
If you want it to announce each time you unlock that is another animal. IIRC there are several apps that do similar might search the market via a pc so they arent filtered on your phone.
Dear god eollie. I dread opening a thread and finding your commentary after something I post. I hate the thought of hurting your feelings and owing the community an apology.
during boot wont happen... As the phone doesnt have acccess to the network tell after the firmware is loaded...
boot process = Init
Linda the lady you hear during the conversion process is just prebuilt audio files into the voodoo inframats... Haveing the phone beable to tell you your name time and temp outside of the actuall operation of the device isnt going to happen.. Especally sence during boot its intalizing the stuff needed.
that would be like having your laptop check your bank info before you even boot into the os....

But use a pc browser and search android market it will show unfiltered results. Then you might be able to contact the dev if its not available for the SGS4G.
thanks
thanks for all the replys...
so what i gather is that its impossible to get linda to voice the weather because the nwtqoek hasn't loaded yet. However it seems possible to change the preloaded audio files which linda loooks at. hmmm it may be possible to say a symbolic constant (something static) like a name or a phrase during boot. i believe it comes down to the commands which r read during boot.
sorry but now i have another ?
How would i change pre loaded audio files to my own custom one. is it possible to do or is it burnt into rom? im off to read about linda and pre loaded audio files and what cmds are read at boot.

If you wanted to change the boot sound you can do that to have it say your name.
The link lumin posted has a zip file that you can extract and push the files to the respective folders. In theroy you could replace the files with whatever you wanted as long as you rename then to whats there currently and rezip it.

thanks i've found project linda's link...downloaded...i just dont know where the "respective folders are located" . where is the boot sound located in filesystem? i'll start at root of phone and search for each app individually and apply my own custom sound as you mentioned. i'll zip and move to folders once i find say the messages notification folder resides...
for boot i was actually thinking a modified bootloader script which acts like a virus sort of but thatthat is too much codeing for what im trying to accomplish so i will conclude as u and ravwr said its impossible for now.
Read up on Linux and the initramfs. That's where this stuff is stored per Raver (thanks for the lesson, Raver).

Download the file to your pc. Put your created sound files in place of the ones in the zip that you want to replace. Rezip it and then flash it via CWM. It should put the files in the proper location.
Now regarding your name on boot. If you create a bootsound and name it properly it should play on boot but it would be during your boot animation. Maybe you could get a custom bootanimation with your name and such and it would be close to what your looking for.
Regarding the phone saying your name - check your system folder using Root Explorer app.
If you have system\etc\PowerOn.wav - it's the boot intro.
You can change it to "Hello...."

thx it worked. replaced linda with my own custom sounds. i got it actually telling me weather once an hour and how many msgs calls i missed and couple other things.
as far as boot i found the file bootanimation in /system/media/bootanimation.zip i'm running val final black edition. there are no sound files in this folder. just the boot images. would i put
sound file in this folder or would i brick phone at next boot with sound file in images folder? also what extension should i make sound file? i see .ogg refrenced a lot bit soneone above said .wav so im unsure what ext i should make it.

i agree with you on the fact that this is possibly impossible...
but my friend 10 15 yrs ago someone would have told you it was impossible for a phone to have a 1.5 ghz dual core processor. or the beggining of cell phones someone would have told you it would be impossible to watch a live streaming football game on your cell phone.

yes I installed. was easy except I had to save the .so file as no known program that I could find would open or install it including Snappea which I normally use for my apk files, 7zip, and Free File Viewer. so I mounted my phone, opened it as a viewable drive and copy/pasted it to my app folder on my sd. installed the other file via Snap, change permissions....followed the instructions, basically.
this launcher is sweet. it gives you lots of options, is easy to use, can uninstall apps and I don't know what all else without ever having to open your settings. the only complaint I might have would be that the icons on the folders are very small, a bit hard to see, but not a big deal as I think we all tend to memorize locations and content in our smart or regular type folders.
as far using it to install other roms, I have tried a bit using ROM Toolbox Pro and ROM Manager and no success as they want confirmation for CRM, and as I am sure you already know, there is no recovery currently available that I know of for the Event.
Also, as I viewed the files included in the download for the launcher, it came with and internet shortcut to SuperCharger, and I am gonna try that next, as it is supposed to work with all mods, stock or otherwise. description of this installer/launcher describes ability to use for the install of other mods but I need more information. this is the first android I have rooted and I am not ashamed to admit I am a green noob. I wish somebody would talk down to me and explain a bit better. as I peruse the forums i find a wealth of information but it is hard to put into action with some of the abbreviated instructions so prevalent from topic to topic. if you install and figure a way to mount jellycream, please advise, as i could use all the guidance available. much thanks and have fun. i will kudo this guy and see if he will point me in the right direction.
problem
A problem has emerged when I connect Event and turn on usb debug and mass storage. when the sd card becomes unavailable it turns all user/non-stock icons to little green android men on home page and changes app names to developer names. disconnect and reboot does not return icons or normal app names. tried to use Titanium Pro to restore but that didn't work either. any ideas?
bummer
I have tried everything, disabling stock launcher, and re-installing TouchWiz Home .apk 3 times, but every time I mount my phone as an external drive to load music all my non-stock apps turn to little green android men with mostly unidentifiable names. too bad as this was sweet. I am bummed out. nobody seems to be interested in this thread. would be nice to hear from developer... is there something I am doing wrong? ive checked the install on the .so, permissions... don't understand. please help. thanks. gonna have to uninstall in the mean time ;(
mheee
