Hey guys,i have decided to create splash screens,so i figured i would post a few,let you guys get the idea and then let you guys request the rest.
If any rom developers want splash screens made for your roms,just pm me with the requested rom and text you would like me to input.
I have tested everyone of these splashes and they all work 100%.You have to be rooted to install these on your phone.
I had a few requests to post the method i use to create splash screens,so here we go..
Splash screen tutorial:
Before you attempt to use this tool, please note that conversion from bitmap to splash screen image as well as flashing the resulting image works with any Android device with any screen resolution but conversion of a splash screen image file into a bitmap works only with images for device having a screen resolution of 480 x 800 pixels.
Also note that to be able to flash a custom splash screen, your phone must be fully rooted and must have an unlocked bootloader.
Using the script is very simple and anyone should be able to do so by following these simple instructions.
Convert and flash splash screen to your device from bitmap file
1.Download Splash Screen Creator from the link given below and extract the contents of the zip file to a folder on your computer.
2.Put the bitmap file (with .bmp extension) that you want to convert into a splash screen and flash to your device, into the same folder as the files extracted in Step 1. Make absolutely sure that the resolution of the bitmap file is exactly the same as the screen resolution of your device.
3.Name the bitmap file ‘SPLASH.BMP’. Any other name will not work.
4.Connect your device to your computer via USB and make sure it is properly recognized by the computer i.e. its drivers are installed.
5.From the files extracted in Step 1, run the ‘RUN THIS ONE.bat’ file by double-clicking on it. You will see the following window
{
"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"
}
6.In the DOS window, enter ‘1’. It will convert the bitmap to a splash screen image file.
7.Once the conversion is done, the script will ask you if you want to flash the image to your phone as well. If you want to do so, press 1 and wait patiently while it is flashed. If you just wanted the converted splash screen image, press 2 here and the script will end.
8.Do NOT unplug your phone from your computer while the image is being flashed.
9.Once the image has been flashed, you may close the script.
Convert splash screen file into bitmap file
1.Download Splash Screen Creator from the link given below and extract the contents of the zip file to a folder on your computer.
2.Put the SPLASH.IMG splash screen image file that you want to convert into a bitmap, into the same folder as the files extracted in Step 1. Make absolutely sure that the image is 480 x 800 pixels.
3.From the files extracted in Step 1, run the ‘RUN THIS ONE.bat’ file by double-clicking on it.
4.In the DOS window, enter ‘2’. It will convert the SPLASH.IMG file into a SPLASH.BMP.
5.Once the conversion is done, you may use the SPLASH.BMP file in any way, edit it the way you want and then convert it back into SPLASH.IMG and flash it to your device using the above method.
Original Thread
Splash Screen Creator
You can download the stock splash from below as an attached file.
Instructions:
1)Download the splash screen that you desire.
2)Copy the splash screen(PC36IMG.zip,it has to be named to this!)to the root(first level of the sd cards folder)of your SD card.
3)Power off your phone,wait 10 seconds,then hold the volume rocker in the down position and power on,you will boot into Hboot.(If you have the multi power mod,then you can skip this step and go straight to Hboot from home screen).
4)When in Hboot,wait for Hboot to load,it takes a second,when loaded,it will ask you if you want to install the update,push the volume rocker in the up position to install the update(splash screen).(sometimes when you boot into Hboot it will be in fastboot mode,just scroll to Hboot if it already is'nt there and hit the power button to boot into Hboot).
5)It will then ask if you want to reboot,hold up on the volume rocker to reboot your phone back to your home screen.(on your way back,check out your new splash screen).
6)Once back in your phone,go to a file explorer of your choice and go to the root of your sd card and remove the PC36IMG file,so it does'nt try to update the next time you boot into Hboot.
Disclaimer:I am not responsible for what happens to your phone after you download this file.I posted detailed instructions to install a splash screen,theres no reason for you to brick your phone.

The screens seem awefully skewed and stretched. If you create the image at the dimensions necessary for the splash screen then it won't skew like that. Seems like you created this images at a different dimension and then changed them. Hrm..

Look dude i think i know the dimensions,maybe its your brain.The screenshots from the host was scaled down so the smaller you go,the crisper the image becomes.
Nice work. I'm always messing with these the more the merrier!

If you have any requests,just post the pic and the font and text wanted in the splash and ill upload it for you.
Think he just means that since you are using some outside images that they should fit. Doesn't take much to resize. I think that's what he means. Some don't look right, that's all. No biggie.
Anywho. Good look on the collection.

Sorry for the delayed response. I wasn't referring to the actual dimensions of the splash screens. I was referring to the objects in the splash screen, i guess they seem a little skewed. If you are re-sizing images on separate layers try holding shift while re-sizing (assuming you are using Photoshop). It will keep the correct dimensions.
Sorry if I seemed like I was giving you an attitude, I appreciate the work that you do!
The splash screens are looking good! I've tried out a couple but like the fourth the best.

I thought I'd open a thread for splash screens for the Vox, the one that is displayed first!
You will need the flash folder (grab it here) and a *.nbh file.
Put the *.nbh in the flash folder, then connect your phone via ActiveSync and open FLASH.exe. It'll ONLY overwrite the splash screen.
Click on the images to download the *.nbh files.
If you want to change the Mobile BIOS download the *.psd (Photoshop file)
If you want to make your own splash screen go here for instructions!
Mh, I am restricted to 4 images per post, so I will just list them:
HTC with Earth background - picture - download - thanks tipu2185
HTC Logo on Black background - picture - download - thanks Pikranus
Windows mobile Touch Flo2D - picture - download - thanks znial
Black WinMo 6.1 - picture - download

Great idea.

Can you share your theme that u have in ur display pic.
if you mean the avatar it is not a theme
only a background pic (posted somewhere in the dash section) and black soft kays
the rest is default sliding panels home from the wm6.1 oxygen rom.
Good thread, I was thinkin of this.

No, it is the first splash screen. Which is static. Kindly give the preview of your splash screen as well. For second splash screen I use fireburned's given cab so that animated splash screens are enabled.
After installing Second Splashscreen.cab put ur animated start up splash screen in windows folder as startup.gif and shutting down animation as shutdown.gif. Now u will have custom startup screen of the .nbh file that u have flashed from above and after showing the static startup screen then will come animated startup screen of the startup.gif i.e. the scecond startup screen.
I hope u understand what i explained.
ok ppl .... stupid question here
is it possible for me to REMOVE my flash screen ? the first static boot screen is ok .. its the animated one i want to remove .... to possibly shave off some boot time.

Thanks, I use the startup.gif file same as of yours. I have collected a few animated screen for my shutdown and startup screens which I will upload later ( I am outside and does not have access to my files at this moment).
I am just attaching a zip with two files for now.
By the way I have created my animations from a site www.reddodo.com. Its free. You can have a look if you are interested.
Secondly, can anyone of you say about the availability of some variety of sliding panel themes. Not in different colours (colours can be changed by changing background and using "basehue" for changing base colours) but different panels (as reddress/monalisa/carousel all are a bit different from normal slide panel )
Better post any sliding panel themes in a separate thread to keep this thread clean for splashes.

I understand that it can be done with basehue but i dont think that slidingpannel are same for new roms that are s740 based. Anyhow thanks for the site and I have dll file from Monalisa rom, i backed it up. By replacing that dll sliding pannels change. If you want I can upload it.
Thanks Alot..this is indeed a real bigg help..i ve always been waiting for this..THANK YOU!!!!!

How do i change a .jpg or a .gif file into a .nbh file ?
I don't think that changing the extension is enough.
Tenq
1. You can use my kitchen (download). You only need the kitchen itself (small download) NOT the OEM, SYS, ROM part.
2. Unpack it to C:\Vox Kitchen and open the Vox Kitchen 1.1.exe and go to the "Edit" tab and click on make splash screen.
3. Follow the wizard and after it's done go to "Build" tab and click on "Start"HTC ROM Tool""!
4. There click on build and choose the Excalibur in the device list (NOT Vox). Under splash choose the just made splash screen file and click on "Build!" and save it in C:\Vox Kitchen\TOOLS\FLASH !
5. You can then execute the Flash.exe in the flash folder as usual!
After searching for a black replacement for both boot screen (the one with "quietly brilliant") and splash screen (the one that shows when you power up the phone) I found some but they had some problems like the animation was too fast or the splash screen was not the same as the original, so I decided to create them.
As I'm not allowed to post any images, in the attachment below you will find previews of both images.
Also in the attachment you will find both original HTC screens and the black ones created by me.
INSTALLING
For boot screens just replace the leo_animated.gif in your windows folder.
For splash screens place leoimg.nbh in the root of your storage card and flash through HSPL boot loader. (In the leoimg.nbh files are both splash and subsplash pictures)

Yeah sorry, wasnt thinking straight, course it wouldnt work cos its animated.....
Im gonna make my own welcomehead but I just wanna double check what dimensions the file should be, if someone could let me know that would be much appreciated.
Also, Im assuming upon booting the device a copy of welcomehead.192 is created which then becomes the file called "welcomehead" but why are the files so different in size??
Is it just a case of replacing the welcomehead.192 or both of the files? and should both be the same dimensions etc?
Any help, much appreciated......

welcomehead192 and welcomehead are 2 diferent files. I think welcomehead192 is shown when the device is booting for the first time to show the progress bar. and welcomehead is showing up every time you boot your phone. the dimensions should be 480x800for HD2. The reason that microsoft has it 800x800 I believe is for covering both landscape and portrait orientations of the screen.

in the zip you downloaded you have both the original and black ones.
To revert back to original white, simply put leoimg.nbh from folder "original" in the root of your sd card and flas throught bootloader

This is happening because your nbh file has only the splash image and you are missing the subsplash image.

you have to insert the same image.nb file to both splash and subsplash entries of htcrt tool and create your nbh file with or without an os
Here's the boot animation I created (attached). It's not a CWM flashable .zip, so you'll need to change the name to bootanimation.zip and either need to push it to /data/local through ADB, or use a File Explorer with root access to put in in /data/local (or if you're running a stock rooted ROM you'll need to rename it to ATT_Bootanimation.zip and put it in /system/customize/resource. It was just a .gif I found with a quick google search, and with the help of Wolf_2 finally got working properly. I take no credit for anything but putting it together as a boot animation

Original thread request:
OK, I'm trying to create my first boot animation, and so far have made some good progress, but now I'm stuck. I found an animated .gif of the Android Robot peeing on an Apple, and ripped the photos out of it, and made them .png files. I kept the file structure, created my new .zip following the guide here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942976), replaced bootanimation.zip in data/local, and changed permissions. Now when I boot up I see the HTC screen for about 15 seconds, then it goes to my animation just like it should, however here's my problem...
My animation consists of 17 images, and it flies through these images in about 5 seconds, then just sits on the last image. How can I either slow this animation down, or get it to keep looping? Here's what's in my desc.txt:
480 800 15p 1 1 android
I tried changing the second 1 to a 0 (as I saw somewhere else this would cause it to loop infinitely), but it didn't. Any ideas??

The 15 in your text stands for 15 fps, so with only 17 images to display it is going to fly through it. You should create more frames. You could also make the second folder for the loop, having a part0 and part1 folder in your zipped folder. The part0 folder would be the play through and the part1 folder would contain the loop. I have included my text document so that you can see the way I did it. I have also provided a link to a thread that helped me understand what needed to be done.

OK, I'll play around with the part0 and part1 folders. I left it the way it was when I pulled it and it only had an android folder, so I didn't know if this would be necessary or not. Thanks for the references!
Edit: You are awesome. I left part0 folder empty and put all my .png pics in part1, used your desc.txt exactly as it was, and it's doing exactly what I want it to! That was kind of fun, and now I can watch the MAC Apple getting peed on by the Android Robot when I start my phone. I've attached it if anyone's interested. I am not the artist, I found the animated .gif online, so no credit to me for that
Now - next question. If I put a different series of pictures in part 0, will this replace the HTC screen I see, or just create an additional boot image?
It will just create the boot animation. I am still trying to figure out where that HTC screen is located so that I can get rid of it or change it. As a note, just remember that the numbering sequence in the second folder has to continue from where the first folder left off. As an example, if the frames in the first folder finish with 00030, then the second folder would start with 00031 and continue. Glad that helped you.

If it's anything like the Captivate the HTC screen is in the kernel You'll have to decompile it.
Irs421: "If it's anything like the Captivate the HTC screen is in the kernel You'll have to decompile it."
I know it's hiding somewhere. TPC and I started working on themes, so since everything has been taken apart he or I will probably come across it eventually.
If you find out I would like to know to, so I can make a matching black htc splash screen. I know some one flashed it as an img through adb. Is there a way to see where exactly it is pushing it to?
I am not sure since I did not know about that adb push. I want to get rid of that screen also. When I find it I will let you know. There is just so much to go through and test. It's going to take a while.
You can use Android Flasher to replace the boot image, it's a really simple one click method.

Here's the boot animation I created (attached). It's not a CWM flashable .zip, so you'll need to change the name to bootanimation.zip and either need to push it to /data/local through ADB, or use a File Explorer with root access to put in in /data/local (or if you're running a stock rooted ROM you'll need to rename it to ATT_Bootanimation.zip and put it in /system/customize/resource. It was just a .gif I found with a quick google search, and with the help of Wolf_2 finally got working properly. I take no credit for anything but putting it together as a boot animation

Nice work, I turned your bootanimation into a downanimation. I optimized the graphics for a 480 x 800 screen and set it up to run through the complete shutdown. Do you mind if I post it? I will be sure to give you credit for creating the original.

If you find out I would like to know to, so I can make a matching black htc splash screen. I know some one flashed it as an img through adb. Is there a way to see where exactly it is pushing it to?

Code:
fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img
We put together 13 Custom 540x960 qHD quality splash images for everyone .
We only did 13 to start with and if theres more interest in our work we will
keep producing more . As always we will take requests either by PM or a post
in the thread . The Splash Flasher Tool is from a member on here named
TrueBlue_Drew . Major Thanks to him ! Ive been using this tool for a long time
and its my personal favorite way for flashing . Its also pretty much n00b pr00f
Below is the .zips for the Splash Images and Splash Flasher . If you like our work
please make sure to hit the Thanks button
Splash Flasher Instructions ... (I am not responsible for damage done to your phone , use this at your own risk !)
1: Place image of your choice into the place-image-here folder
2: Click on CLICK-HERE
3: DISREGARD the 480x800 warning this tool works just fine with 540x960 Images .
4: Follow on screen instructions theyre very easy .
5: Enjoy
Update 8-2-11 : if you made a backup of the Original white HTC Splash screen
with the Splash Flasher it will NOT work on your device anymore . This is due
to the program resizing the .img to 480x800 which is NOT compatible with our
devices . I have provided the original white HTC splash below in .png format .
If you wanna go back to the original splash just use this image like you would
any other one .

It should work just fine . Ive flashed all the images above with the tool
I provided . Make sure to convert the images that you place into the
place-image-here folder . Make sure to hit option #2 because all the
image formats are .png . Then hit #7 and all should be well

Cool either way!
Thanks a Ton!!

It depends if the interest in them takes off then yes we will keep putting them
out
Yes they are qHD quality . Some of the images have a soft appeal and sharp
appeal to them . It was intentional to try and combine both Glad you like
them

I gave the instructions in my first post called Splash Flasher Instructions ... Follow those instructions as
well as the ones that are within the tool itself (you will see what I am talking about when you click on the CLICK-HERE button)
and it will walk you right through .
I just tried this tool, didn't work. It said it completed the task but when I rebooted, I still had the white HTC splash screen. This is the image I am trying to use... can anyone make this for me? I don't know what else to do

That picture will not work because its 360x640 . Too small resolution
for our devices . You need an image in 540x960 in either .png or
.jpeg format . Once you have that let me know .

Do you have ADB installed ?
Updated OP with new info !
trying to convert this jordan image but every time it say it converts it and then i flash it i get the green revolutionary splash screen and i didnt even dowload that ??? any help ?
Sorry, is there a tutorial/thread on how I can change the splash screen so I can use my own pics? Thanks a lot!
It doesn't work in my Sensation either
adb connection is OK
image in place image here folder is jpg 540x960
choose option 3 ****Your jpg image has been converted to custom.ing****
choose option 7
Booting into fastboot mode. Please wait ...
sending "splash1" <1012 KB>... OKAY
and so on
Then, when rebooting, first appears image ANDROID Revolution (not mine) and after HTC quietly brilliant

Same as you bro :/
good tool, bro.
it is easier than the method i use now.
Forgive me if something similar was already posted, but I did not see a Sensation specific posting of this animation.
I went through and modified the frames to allow for more accuracy in terms of specs for our devices.
Based on gimj01's http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=947688, which in turn is based on frysee's http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=648555.
Just thought I might share my edits with everyone. If gimj01 and frysee do not want me to have this posted let me know and I will remove it.

Thanks mate!
Works great at the right speed
[EDIT] Created and uploaded installer for Clockwork.
Very nice! Missed already
Thanks!
/edit
BTW: if somebody gets standard bootanimation after replacing try following:
- flash via adb
- power down the sensation
- remove battery and place it in again
- start your phone!
hehe looking good bro

Here are instructions I copied from another boot animation thread (saved me from typing them!!! Lol!)....
Instructions to install:
[NOTE YOU MUST HAVE YOUR DEVICE S-OFF BEFORE ATTEMPTING THIS]
1.Back-up stock boot animation (if you want to) which is found in /system/customize/resource using root explorer or ES file explorer
2.Delete the stock boot animation after backing up and replace it with the bootanimation.zip included in this post in the same directory as before
Then reboot!
Simples!
@AndroTMO
Nice animation by the way, any chance of a Splash screen to match? Perhaps just the Energy Star logo + sensation details (ie the 1st frame of the animantion) with the "HTC quietly brilliant" logo beneath?
awesome bootscreen! got anything for us on the downscreen along similar lines?

I as of yet have not learned where the downscreen is in relation to the rest of the OS.
If I figure out how to make it do a custom, I might work one up.
Great work OP, love it

This method works perfectly except for one difference for T-mobile users- TMOUS people running the stock ROM need to replace the TMOUS_bootanimation.zip instead of the bootanimation.zip.

FYI- I found the down animations in the same folder as the boot animations.
Thanks for the #11 post.
Now that my device has S-OFF I would like this boot loader.
I see the path you mentioned using root explorer, but not sure how to get the downloaded files from my computer to the directory on the HTC Sensation.
Any advice please?
T.I.A.
All you have to do is connect your phone via USB & drag the file to your SD card. Then, use Root Explorer(market app) to copy them to the proper directory & rename them. Make sure you copy the original animations to somewhere safe on your SD card just in case you need to restore them for any reason.
kabuk1 you rock!
Your instructions are crystal clear and very easy to understand.
Thank you for taking the time to help
You're very welcome

Happen to remember the name of the .zip that is needed? I no longer have a down anim due to my ROM.
Is it called downanimation.zip
I like it. Unfortunately, it's the wrong resolution for sensation. 480x800 instead of 540x960 so it looks interpolated and blurry ;/
Edit: here's a modded 540x960 version I just whipped up.

I used this one and it looks great, thanks! Just for fun I also took the first image from the boot sequence and flashed that as my splash screen to replace the white screen with HTC on it prior to the boot animation.
Now when I turn on my phone, the splash screen comes up as the Energy Star image with some text, then once it goes to the boot animation it just looks like its still booting up. Kinda cool I think.
Thanks again!

can i apply this for my phone with pyramid 3d rom?
