[Q] Change boot logo (not animation) - Motorola Atrix 2

is there a way to change the boot logo (a stupid motorola icon) on the A2? I have seen the option in rom toolbox, but not for our device.

not impossible, but very hard
I have HTC Desire, and i wanted to drop the white HTC logo in favour of a black background variant.
long story short it was really REALLY hard, it requires FULL root. (ROOT AND S-OFF)
I wouldn't recommend trying it unless your very happy to delve into the darker parts of android customisation.

I am rooted and on a custom rom, but the A2 bootloader is locked so i'm not sure i can s-off, so i don't think this will work

It is fully possible to do it without unlocking the bootloader. I have messed around with it and managed to turn the stock logo into a .bmp image but not vice versa. However that was all based off of information for the Atrix 4G and Photon because I was being stupid and didn't think about googling "droid bionic/droid 3/droid razr/droid 4 boot logo change."
So here it is for the Bionic. I haven't tried it but I bet it will work (for making the logo.bin, then flash it using FASTBOOT).

Got it
Awesome thanks so much I figured it out. if anyone wants it here is what I came up with!

that is how it will look on the screen. the attached bin file will look different on the computer. Anyone doing this should follow the instructions in the last post for creating it, as I did. than boot into fastboot and
Code:
fastboot flash logo.bin logo.bin
works perfectly. bin file to flash if you want mine: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yye2cnbezuwwxcu/logo.bin

[BOOT ANIMATION] Android Color Wash.

Just finished up my first boot animation, which is based on my latest Android wallpaper. Should fit nicely on any 480x800 device.
Tried to keep file sizes small without sacrificing too much quality. Seemed like the animation would lag a bit before I compressed them a bit further. Perhaps I'll try some more settings to achieve higher quality.

Looks nice!! Just downloaded it, will probably flash it tonight. Gonna try to spend some time this evening flashing some more ROMs, boot animations, fonts, etc.. Gotta get permission from wifey first
neat stuff man, nice job.
any way to make the light slowly pulse a couple times since many times the phone may sit at the boot animation for a while.
or too long of an animation will slow the boot down as it waits for the animation to finish?

You could make a few images flashing after what you have already and put them in a second part and set it to loop until boot.
How might I do that?
Sent from my Evo 4G using Tapatalk Pro.
Just looked at your file and part 1 is already set to loop. The pics you put in there should loop until the boot is complete. There's only 1 pic in there now.....so you can't tell.
I see. Well I will have to modify it a bit.

If you haven't already, don't delete the original boot......just add ".bak" to the end of it.....so you can always revert back to the original, if need be.
Oh, no, I know you weren't trying to tell me what to do. I do want to adjust it though.

Will this replace the Sprint 4G bootup screen?

Yes. You need to have root access. And then you replace the bootanimation.zip file within system/media/. There are tutorials all over the web on how to do it.

How did he manage to flash a rom s-on? Surely you need a custom recovery for that?

HTC Dev unlock will let you install a custom recovery while S-ON, then bob's your uncle.

It's a shame people like you have to be on boards like this where we're working with technically complicated processes and data, and you post a ridiculously vague question with absolutely no information. His response was appropriate, and equated to a simple "uh huh.....that's great".
Until you post more information for people other than "I tried flashing it and it failed at 10%", nobody is going to care. The people I see on XDA.....man....
Noone has a clue what you flashed, what processes you used, what files you used, what steps you followed (and didnt follow), etc, what commands you entered, how you flashed items, etc.
Make sure that you're flashing the latest version of your phone's ruu, make sure the phone is locked and in fastboot before you flash.

[Boot Logo][Updated 8/21/12] Android!

Recently I've been getting tired of Moto and how they treat their customers.. so naturally I tried to do everything to get rid of the Moto branding for our device! So what better way to do that than get rid of that ugly M logo when we boot up our phone?
So I created TWO Android boot logos which IMO looks 100 times beter!
Here are the logos:
Logo1

How to Install?
In order to install this you WILL need the following on your computer:
Android SDK
Java SDK
Read this tutorial on how to set up the sdk!
THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR WINDOWS ONLY!
Once you got everything set up do the following:
1.) Download the logo.bin
2.) Place it in in your android-sdk-windows/platform-tools
3.) Navigate to that on your computer
4.) Hold SHIFT and right click
5.) Select open command prompt window here.
6.) Boot your phone into AP Fastboot
7.) Connect it to your PC
8.) Type the following
Code:
fastboot flash logo.bin logo.bin
9.) Reboot!

This is for flashing with fastboot.
May I request (if not too much)... Make your logo general (without Atrix name) so we can upload it in any motorola phone? You may contribute in the below link for your great logo collection. Hopefully we can use it in Atrix 4.

It's not a compressed zip file. It's just storage. Then you'll have to copy it to system/customize/resource after you've renamed the one that's in there. (something like bootanimation.zip.old) Then hit paste and set permissions to match your old one. Reboot & check out your handiwork.
