Splash Screen Changer? - T-Mobile LG G2x

I would like to know if there is anyway to change the splash screen before the boot animation? I've been looking for tutorials but all of them require fastboot and the g2x doesn't have that Please reply quickly

there is a way I haven't a clue though I miss that about my MyTouch 3g and G1, EB ICS build 3 had a different splash screen instead of the blue&purplish LG... I haven't a clue though!

It's all in the kernel. Trinity's kernel have a custom splash screen. I'm not sure which file you need to replace though. I wish it was as simple as HTC Phones. I'd love to have the Nexus One's splash screen on my G2x!

I really hope someone out there does... and is it just me or do you also have two splash screens one white lg and a second right after that is metal polished look and has the blue/purple lines

:/ Why cant it be as easy as every other phone!!

its in the kernel, and changing it requires having all the tools and setup needed to build an android kernel. (its not as easy as it looks)
if you want to kill a weekend and learn about how its done, i reccomend giving it a shot
i dont know the exact file, but if you message Morfic on his IRC channel im sure he would be more then happy to help you. (hes cool like that )

You were able to do it with fastboot on HTC devices. Haha

BootAnimation - Looking

Looking for the boot animation that looks the nexus one. It is an x and the colors are all moving and what not. I think it used to be in one of Damages roms, not sure though.
Anyone know what I am talking about? It is a brilliant and very nice Animation.
Thanks for the help!
Check Baked Snack ROM, they have that file of the boot screen your talking about, the x with rainbow colors flashing in from sides forming a X, i had that rom on my EVO 4g for a day and I didn't like it cuz it took too long but now im using DC gl
One of the stickies is a collection of Bootscreens, The one you are asking about is the "Nexus Repacked for G1/G2"
Here's a link to the thread...

Splash Screens by Watcher07

I recently started learning how to do some work in the community with splash screens. Initially I just did three as copies of an image from another community member (got his permission), but I seem to be making more and more thus the need for a singular thread.
So far, these are all simply splash screens for the Synergy Roms, however as splash screens go, well it doesn't matter what rom you're running, would just be a bit strange running savaged mod with a Synergy splash, but thats on y'all.
Anyway, as I get better then I'll branch into boot animations or lockscreen mods and maybe even theming roms, but for the moment this is it.
If you have a particular image you want made into one, I can give it a shot. I wish I had more talent as a digital artist, but since I don't then I use images I can find and get permission when at all possible.
Thanks for stopping by.
Instructions for installing any of my splash screens:
1) Remove everything after the "-" from the filename so it is just "PC36IMG" or if you have file extensions set to show, it will read "PC36IMG.zip".
2) Copy it to the root of your SD Card.
3) Reboot the phone into bootloader.
4) Bootloader should automatically detect it and ask you if you want to install it, hit Volume up for yes.
5) A couple seconds later it will prompt you to reboot with another Volume up, go fer it.
6) Your new splash screen will show up, the peasants will rejoice, and peace will reign across the land. Well, can't guarantee all that, but look for one of the above to happen.
Some examples of whats going on in this thread:
Synergy Splash Screens
So this is the set that I took the image from whiterider13 with his permission, they turned out pretty decent.
Some other Rom Splash Screens
More Synergy Screens
Miscellaneous Splash Screens
Testing out this style, seems to have gotten good reception so far. Will probably tweak it so it doesn't look quite so hacked together a little later, but let me know what you think. I'll probably start sorting through a green and red version later.
Three more I just wrapped up, feels like a step backwards from my last one, but they look decent. I think I did them just to offer variety more than anything.

Alright, I gotta admit, these look pretty slick in my opinion, despite the simplicity. Getting the color to change right was a big pain, and I'm still going to work on getting the blue one to look a hair cleaner than it does, but overall I think they look good. Hope you all enjoy.

Digital Green
Hello again forum. So I spent quite a bit more time on this than the original blue one, I tried pretty hard to make sure it doesn't look too "busy". I'm still not entirely satisfied with it, but it appears to be coming along as a work in progress. However I do think it looks pretty cool for what it is right now. Let me know what you guys think though, thanks.
Crafted a simple signature, nothing fancy, just functional.
Great job on the splash screens....I have personally chosen the green swoosh splash as my splash screen...Thanks and once again, great work.

Exactly what i was thinking.
OP, every one of these is beautiful. I will be changing my splash, i guess. I've been using the same one since about august '10.
Thanks for these, and thanks for always offering a blue version.

Now if you could add some animation to that it could also make an awesome bootanimation

Actually that is kind of the plan, gotta fix the way Gimp is processing the font, clean everything up a bit, make a couple of small tweaks to it, generate the red version and reverse produce the final product for the other colors, then animate it. I'm also tempted to do a "noir" version of each splash screen cause I know there's anti-color folks out there. I don't want them to be simple black, white and shades of gray....I'm looking for them to maintain the same feel, just a lot more subtly. But that will be a bit further down the road. Thanks though for all the praise.

[SOLVED] Better ICS Boot Logo?

Hey guys !
Okay so has anyone noticed that the ICS boot logo running on most ICS ROMs looks VERY washed out on out Nexus S's? Well I have. To make it truly nice the colours need to be deeper and more rich than they are right now... Does anybody agree with me? I feel like it's too bright at some points an overall a little faded.
So I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get an ICS boot logo with 'better' colour. If not, can somebody please make one ?
here is boot from galaxy nexus. i didnt make it i found it around the forums

Completely agree with you. I really don't like the look of the new boot animation so I usually run a custom one. Doesn't affect any performance aspects but it just looks cool
=\ I went to Verizon and turn off the Galaxy Nexus and turned on.... =\ the boot Animation Looks the Same as the ones on the ICS Nexus S... I was disappointed =\

If I use that the colours will still be washed out, won't they? I want a custom ICS boot animation with richer colours, not the washed out one

Lol thanks but I used ROM Manager and put it on already . Actually my battery life is freaking amazing and I always use my phone. I send about 500-600 texts per day, 30-60 min of gaming, 1-3 hours (usually 2) of internet, and 1-2 hours of music will get me by my day. (About 16-19 hours)
Nexus S - CyberGR Hybrid ICS (5), Matrix Kernel (15)
Here i edited the images darkened and made colors little more vibrant
imo looks much better
default nexus s and galaxy nexus bootanimation are way too bright and show too much color banding look horrid
edit
added flashable zip
Going to try it out... one second
Put it in there and nothing happened. Maybe the ROM Toolbox boot animation I installed is interfering? Or I don't know what I'm doing lol

No dude I'm using a different boot animation so if it changed from this one to the ICS one I would've noticed. If it didn't work for me it wouldn't work for you either then . He said the colors were better so would have noticed . I guess its just not working. Maybe make a flash able ZIP?

I'm going to try both!
Both are identical. And they get the job done . THANK YOU BOTH IT'S AMAZING! I will +1 you both when I'm off mobile! This needs to be put into the custom ROMs over the boot animation they use now... I recommend either one to anyone. This thread needs a bump
[SOLVED LIKE A BAWSE!]

Both of those are perfect, that is how the ics bootanimation should look imo, nice job demo
Try ROM toolbox.
there are a great number of boot animations, and very easy to flash new boot animations
Yeah but we wanted a better ICS boot animation. Which isn't on ROM Toolbox

Just downloaded and tried. Looks good much better than the others! Thanks!!! :thumbup:

im sure its been asked before

but is there a way to add "Tv out" or "Old Style TV off" as a screen animation to an HTC Inspire 4g running Android Revolution HD 7.1...?
i was running an older version of A.R and it had it.... id like it back. the straight black out lock is lame. (i.m.o)

I think I know what you're talking about... Its the screen lock animation right? it looks like a tube tv turning off.
You can get that animation if you flash most Cyanogenmods. I am running JellyTime_R29 by Randomblame and it is based on CM10, and a friend of mine chose to stick with cm7. Both have this animation. There may be some other way of modding your current rom, but I couldn't advise to do that. It would be easiest to just install a rom that supports that animation.
Hope that helped! If so, hit thanks

CRT animation (that is called) is not hard to set in a rooted device. Here is a guide on how to do it manually: http://www.freeyourandroid.com/guide/enable-crt-animation
I don't know AR but other roms have tweaks where you can enabled/disable it, check if that exist in the setup menu. :good:

I've never used AR, but if you're set on sticking with that rom then there is probably a mod you can make or flash to the /system/something that would do this for you. the easiest solution is using a rom that supports that animation though.

[Q] Purely for customization

Hello everyone,( oh and please move this if there is a more appropriate location for my questions) I have recently gotten into romming due to the just... eww of the stock tmobile t679's well... everything...
what am I running now? I was swapping around a few different roms and have settled down on two I like pretty well which are pacman for jellybean 4.2 and baked blackbean 4.2. At this exact moment I'm on the baked. I have a couple questions about some customizations I'd like to do (basically have done for me so I can just apply them as I am not really talented in the ways of photo manipulation) and one question about hardware buttons.
Starting with the hardware buttons, the one thing I miss from the stock rom is the "touch light duration" feature, as being on a samsung with hardware touch buttons I have come to enjoy leaving the lights on as long as my screen is active. Is there still a way to do this? on ANY rom, or could there be some work around? I really don't like the soft button idea as they take up too much of my screen. (yes I have tried it) Please and thank you for any advice on that front.
Now on to the fun and colorful part. I very much enjoy the cm10 bootanimation and I've seen a couple images of it in other colors. What I would like, if someone was so awesome as to put it together for me a custom color changing version with my name in the middle. I can pull up the image with the colors I like if anyone decides to tackle this. (I know how to apply the new bootanimation, just need it made)
The other thing I would like to change is my boot splash, not that I don't love what the custom rommers out there have made for all of us to enjoy, but the team insomnia logo just isn't my cup of tea. I would love something a bit more... purple and girly. Again I have an image in mind if anyone wants to make it into an easily flashable or otherwise installable format. I have no idea how to do this one.
Please and thank you for anyone who can help me out =)

yeah I think I was on higher than 10.1 and that was the problem, anyway yes please if you feel like making me a boot animation =)
PM me for details as I cannot post links just yet
I just went back and tried 10.1 again and still don't see a way to change button light duration. Oh well, I have the stuff I want for my bootanimation on my fb already as well as what I'd like for a bootsplash image, so send me a message and I'll link you up. =)
