[REQUEST] Nexus S splash screen and boot animation.

Does anyone have the Nexus S splash screen "Google" and the boot animation? It would really complete the cm6.1 with gingerbread theme.

Wanna know this too

I assume this isnt flashable and needs to be put in the proper directory?

The splash screen is just a black screen with white letters spelling google. And the boot screen is the same as the nexus one if u know what that looks like. If I could get a screen shot I would but can't right now but hopefully that gives u a better understanding of what it looks like.

Download the .zip from post 6. Copy it to the root of your sdcard and rename it PC36IMG.zip. Boot the phone by holding down |volume down| and |power| until it comes up to the white screen with skating andys. Use the |power| button to select the first option (Bootloader) and press |volume up| to accept the update. Let it flash that .zip and then say yes to reboot, and you're done!

Don't extract it. You want it to appear in the system/media folder as the complete bootanimation.zip, so just move it to /system/media/bootanimation.zip

A little bump. Does anyone know of a flashable bootanimation? The zip from page one was only the splash. Sound would be nice as well! Thanks!

I am trying to use this splash on my thunderbolt. Does the name of the zip need to be different?

Splash Screens are stationary, and do not move. Boot Animations DO move however and are what is displayed after the splash screen.
If you want a custom boot animation, PM me what you are looking for. No promises, as this is not my specialty, but I can certainly give it a shot.

Hi guys,
Is it easy to change the boot animation? I have root and all that and would like to change the 02 boot animation.
Is there a guide anywhere or would someone be so kind to type up a quick how to?

yes it is very easy to change the boot animation
but do not change anything else as it could brick your device
1.download the zip of the animation that you need & put it on your sd card
2.get es explorer or any other file manager(root explorer)
3.rename the zip file as bootanimation.zip
4.if you are using es file explorer press menu button>settings
select root explorer & mount file system
5.click on the first button on the top(it looks like a sd card)
6.go to system/customize/resource
7.delete the boot animation.zip file in there & replace it with the copied zip(the one that you put on the sd)
thats it,now you have a new boot animation
please use the search function next time

Thanks for that.
But it didnt work - I got the stock one from another thread but the o2 animation remains!

thanks a lot for these

Linux tool : Sensation splash-utility and Flashable Splash with Aroma Installer

Hi, all
I was going through rainere's thread for splash utility . This is nice windows script to backup and create splash screen for sensation. I was thinking to make a bash script for the same.
I have ported his windows script into a linux one and added another option to make flashable splash.zip which can be flashed via recovery.
The reason behind this , I think this will help a lot of noob who wants to change the splash screen but not well versed with adb and fastboot. This bash script can make a flashable zip and this zip can be flashed in recovery. Personally I would suggest to use 4ext recovery as the zip created by this script has interactive menu.
Sensation-splash-utility-V1.0.2
Features:/ Change log
V1.0.2
1. Support for EVO 3D GSM
2. Change in output zip file name.
V1.0.1
1. Backup current splash screen
2. Convert splash.img into a 24 bit color bitmap ; this will help to edit , modify the bitmap
3. Create splash.img from 24 bit colour bitmap ( resolution 540x960 )
4. Flash the splash screen via fastboot
5. convert splash.img to a flashable zip ; this can be flashed in recovery
Credits:
1. I do not take any credit for this
2. Credit goes to rainere for his windows script.
3. Credit goes to Pau Oliva for his nbimg source
4. Thanks to mike1986 for his help to write the update-script
5. Thanks malybru for testing ...
To Do
1. support for any filename for splash.bmp and splash.img
2. You tell me
Requirement:
1. Linux desktop
2. ADB / Fastboot (Not mandatory ; If you do not have you can not backup but can create splash and make zip ; To run the script without adb you have to comment out the line 26 where it reads adb wait-for-device)
3. 7zip
How to run:
Extract the archive.
Open terminal
cd to the extracted folder
Now type
$ chmod a+x nbimg
$ chmod a+x splash-utility-v1.0.2
$ ./splash-utility-v1.0.2
I have attached some cool flashable splash.zip created by this script. Please use 4ext recovery. CWM will also work but will not show the interactive menu.
Please give your feedback .
EDIT:
Now flash your splash screen with Aroma Installer with nice preview...
Download the zip collection of 10 Aroma enabled splash screen from here .

nice share dude..but i don't have Linux Desktop

Will be adding support for HTC EVO 3D soon.
Here goes the original HTC splash for Sensation. It can be flashed via recovery.
Enjoy...

Cool thanks.
Realy nice tool! But is there a Windows version i dont have Linux Desktop.

Splash screens are not ROM dependent . They depends on hardware . So they will work on sensation irrespective of any ROM.
The requirement is
1. Sensation XE / 4G
2. S-OFF
3. Custom Recovery ( I recommend 4ext as it has interactive menu. )
So don't worry . You can safely flash them.

Here goes your carbon fibre background. Enjoy.

Awesome! Thank you!

thank you bro, will try....

I'm curious......
how did you exactly make the .img files in your launcher.
because this launcher is the only way i can change my flash screen on my htc sensation XE.
BTW you did a really nice job with this launcher. I had to laugh when i saw the check button (i have read and understand and agree etc etc etc.)

[HOW-TO] Change your Boot Splash + ZIPs + Online Generator + Warning Gone + Ville/C2

You can have your own custom boot splash. (This is the very first picture you see when you boot up the device. Before the boot animation. The one you also see when booting into recovery.)
Upload a picture here. (It should be 540x960 pixels. If it's not, it gets resized without preserving proportions.) It generates a .zip that you can flash in recovery.
Or pick one from the list at the bottom of this post.
You must be on hboot 1.06 or 1.09 for this to work. If you're not, here is how to downgrade your hboot.
If you're S-Off, this will work on any hboot version. If you're not, here is how to get S-Off.
Flashing a new boot splash does not get rid of the red "This build is for development only.." warning text. (Edit: Now that we have S-Off, you can edit out the warning text in the hboot image. I tried it. It works. But it's a dangerous thing to do if you don't do everything exactly correct.)
If you create one that you feel is especially nice, feel free to post it in this thread. ("Pics and zips please.")
/!\ So far there are (at least) 2 reports where the flashable zip did not work, but manually dd'ing the raw 565 file into mmcblk0p14 did work. If someone can point out what the update script in the zip does not do that is required to successfully flash the splash, I'd be very interested.
You can also get rid of the red warning text overlay. (If you're S-Off)
I modified a couple of hboots to edit out the warning text, and made flashable zips for them. See post #148. <-- You must be S-Off for this. If you're not you can get bricked.
(A side effect of flashing the 1.14.0004 hboot is that your ** TAMPERED ** flag is gone, even when flashing different ones afterwards.)
-Jobo
Original post, from before it was so easy...
If you have a 540x960px image, save/convert it to raw rgb565 (The resulting file should be 1036800 bytes.. 540x960x2) and dd it into /dev/block/mmcblk0p14.
I tested with this attached one. (That zip is not flashable. Just unzip it and dd the raw 565 file. You dont need to be in recovery, you can do it while booted.) I'm sure others can do better but this was good enough to see that it works, and I like a dark splash better than the light one.
You will still get the red 'This build is for development only' stuff overlaid tho.
That overlay text sits in mmcblk0p12:0xBD700 by the way but I dont dare poke into that partition.​
Update 2012/7/19: See post #8 to make it flashable from recovery.
Update 2012/7/25: Looks like this will only for for hboot-1.06 and 1.09, not for 1.13 and up. (Unless you're S-Off)
Update 2012/9/20: Collected all boot splashes here.
Update 2012/10/1: Made a php thingy to generate flashable zips from a web form. See post #115.
Update 2013/1/2: Redid this post to point at the online zip generator.
Update 2013/2/22: Made some additions/edits regarding S-Off
Update 2013/2/23: Added some flashable edited hboots. See post #148.
Update 2013/3/16: Added fastboot-flashable zips, as it is now discouraged to flash hboot in recovery. See post #274
Update 2013/6/11: Minor php script update in the online generator because I added a version for the One-M7
Update 2013/11/22: Confirmed to work on VilleC2 as well.
Update 2014/05/31: Added support for the Desire X
Update 2014/07/15: Added support for the One M8
Update 2014/07/17: Hmmm... So it turns out that the zips for the M7 also work for the Butterfly S. I had no idea.

The name doesn't matter, but the contents must be raw rgb565 data.
Just put the file on your sdcard, and then from an adb shell, dd it into mmcblk0p14.

Inside the zip. There is only one file inside /cache/ and thats the splash.

Ok did a flash and it worked out great, the only time you will get that HTC warning in red letters across the splash is if your not using the stock boot image, if your using a raw image it will display but other wise it looks fine (no warning displayed).
Thanks again, I'll post up some work when I'm done.
For those that have never done this before here's what you do.
First you want to back up the original image, there's nothing worse than changing something and finding out you didn't back up the original and this is no exception SO go to terminal emulator and type this line:
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p14.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This will backup to the sdcard as an image so now go put that in a safe place on your computer just in case you format your sdcard down the road. Don't lose this.
Rename the image that you put on your sdcard to:
custom.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and save it, make sure its on the root of the sdcard other wise you need to provide the path. Then load terminal emulator and type:
su
dd if=/mnt/sdcard/custom.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The transfer in and out will be exactly the same if you typed this in correctly and its highly important that you type in the correct mmcblk number or you could be in for a long night.
I backed up everything just in case to do this type this out and take the file image and put it away.
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is a huge image but its a full image of your entire device including all partitions, this is more than a nandoid its everything.

or alternatively you can save it as a 16 bit .bmp and then strip the headers off or tail the last 1036800 bytes. (You'll have to flip it as (0,0) is bottom left in .bmp files.)
I bet there are nicer tools but I haven't looked.

Yeah I've looked and the one released is strictly 480x800, I've never used that method you listed above but ill give it a shot everything I did before was with that tool on the mytouch 4g.

You can also use that Paint.Net program as described in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=649890
Pretty easy to do it using that method, you just have to consider the different resolution of the OneS and follow steps 1-3. I converted an image to rgb565 with it, worked like a charm.
BUT! I can't get it to flash. Tried with the flashable zip (placed it in the cache folder) and tried installing with TWRP. Comes out as successful, but I still get the default HTC quietly brilliant splash.
Also tried dd-ing the image with a terminal emulator, also no-go.
Running HTC Stock Rom, Vodafone DE/UK, 1.78, rooted.
Attached the image in a zip, if someone wants to try it. It can be opened with Paint.Net. You have to supply it with the correct resolution tho: 540x960

Works for me.
I wonder what could make the difference...
Do you have a signed boot image in place or a custom one?
Do you get the red 'This build is for development only' text overlaid?
