General Info​
I do not have a Droid Incredible to test this on, so I would appreciate it if someone could a.) alert me, preferably on twitter, when a new build is made, and b.) let me know if the theme I post here works.
This theme is extensive with over 2000 edited .png files and more than 35 .xml files.
There are no icons included with this theme. If you would like icons, then you can use ADW.Launcher or ADW EX download Minimalist - ADW Theme.

This theme is for the official CM7 Nightly ROMs.
Theme Info​
The widgets are transparent with white text. I recommend using a dark wallpaper.
The font included in the theme is the Ubuntu font.
If you are using Amon_RA's recovery and the theme is not applying after flashing, then you need to use clockwork recovery.

Install Instructions: PLEASE READ!!!
1. Set MetaMorph delay to around 1000 (My exact number is 1054) then press Close
2. Press Unzip/Extract new theme
3. Navigate to where you have Minimalist_Lockscreen_Icons.zip located
4. Select the file
5. Press close on the on the pop up that appears
6. Press Apply all!
7. It WILL force close com.android.phone when it applies the Phone.apk, I do not know of any way around this.
8. While the force close pop up is on the screen, another pop up menu will appear behind the force close pop up and the buttons will say either Continue? or Stop; you must quickly press Force close on the force close pop up, then press Continue? on the other pop up menu; it will then start applying the framework-res.apk
9. The device may freeze up at this point, if it does freeze up (mine did), then wait about 30 seconds, then pull the battery and boot your phone
10. Everything should be applied now
Animations by rover.prince - http://bit.ly/iejwtm
I take no credit whatsoever for these animations.
I have taken them from rover.prince's theme at the request of some users.
Here is the thread where I got the animations.
Apply this with MetaMorph.

awesome, will give this a go in a few days

You may want to consider changing the compatibility to #14, since #15's phone doesnt work.
On another note, this theme looks GREAT. I appreciate the hard work for us over here in the incredible forums =)

Updated to cm_inc_full-16.zip.

Using the minimalist theme....love it......it would be awesome if it came in a red or orange to compliment GB...or even all plain white rather than blue.....but all looks great....cheers!

I've had all white in the status bar since May last year when I first started on what has become this theme, so I needed something new. Also, since GB has the "fully" images that are normally green, I went with the blue to match everywhere else.
If you want to make the blue images white (would require least amount of work), then download the source from the OP, open it up, take out SystemUI from /system/app/ and framework-res from /system/framework/ and place them somewhere easy for you to work from. Then, go to SystemUI/res/drawable-hdpi/ open up all the white images that have blue counterparts, then use save as to save the white images as the blue ones as well. Next go to framework-res/res/drawable-hdpi/ and do the same there as with SystemUI. Next hook your phone up to your laptop/computer via usb and run the following commands:
Code:
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk .
adb pull /system/app/SystemUI.apk .
(the . will place in your working directory, so if you don't want it to go there then type the desired location)
Open up SystemUI.apk with 7-zip (or similar program), go into the res folder, then go into the drawable-hdpi folder, drag and drop your newly saved images from SystemUI/res/drawable-hdpi into it, finally close the window (if it asks you if you want to update then click yes).
Open up framework-res.apk with 7-zip (or similar program), go into the res folder, then go into the drawable-hdpi folder, drag and drop your newly saved images from framework-res/res/drawable-hdpi into it, finally close the window (if it asks you if you want to update then click yes).
Finally you need to run the following set of commands
1. Reboot your phone to recovery.
2. Make a nandroid (I only say this to cover my arse, normally I wouldn't for myself).
3. Over adb do the following commands
Code:
adb remount
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb push SystemUI.apk /system/app/SystemUI.apk
adb shell reboot

minimalist or incognito? cant really tell the difference..either way, i dig it! thanks.
OH and i almost forgot..can u supply a flashable zip to the font that was used in the theme?
i flashed a font i thought would look awesome with it, but didnt quite go so well.

Great thanks for the heads up....really liking this theme....reminds me of the old days with bgill55.

There are a few reasons its hard to tell the difference...
The first being the bulk of that theme is my work. Sadly, whenever bgill55 is confronted he likes to gets rid of any evidence of its existence. (that was the second theme of mine he had taken without any credit, the first being the first theme for the Nexus One)
The earliest I was able to find a reference to Incognito was here
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/koush/76595-theme-black-minimalist-incognito-cm6-final.html - 09-01-2010.
Here is when I first put out the base for that theme http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=668559 around the end of April beginning of May.
Then there is this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734046
where I put out the rest of that theme. Initially released 07-24-2010.
My themes aren't the only ones he's passed off as his own, I know BlackIce for the Nexus One (by Amac25).
The really annoying thing wasn't so much the lack of credit as it was his asking of donations for it.
More fun facts, look at the 7th screen shot in this thread http://www.droidforums.net/forum/bgill55/106516-screen-shots-linear.html and compare it to the dialer screen shot in either this thread or the thread for Minimal. Also, look at components of the search widget in the 5th screen shot and compare it to the 2nd screen shot in the Minimal thread. Then look at the who he credits with making that theme. Of course he and that other guy made every part of it that is themed.
Sorry for the rant of a post, but that is really about the only thing that has aggravated me with theme-ing, which is why there is a "special disclaimer" about not wanting to credit and a donation link.

Good to know I apologize for my lack of knowledge ...really appreciate all your hard work.

I haven't used Sense since it was a new thing on my G1, so no. Also, while a good chunk of it would port easily enough, I think would be quite a few things that would have to be redone or redesigned to work with Sense.

HOLY CRAP did this clear up so much.
ive heard so much here and on df.com about the ( let me rephrase that ), "borrowing of the idea" but never really new the complete scoop of it all.

Is there any chance that this theme would work with CM6.1? I have only installed a Few ROMs and only one theme, not sure if I am willing to make the jump to Nighties just yet but I like this theme a lot.
Is there a release of this theme for CM6.1 that I just cant find?

Any way to get this to work with the latest nightly - #20?
Flashing 17 bootloops - as figured.

Can't wait to try this when I get home and finally move from CM 6.1 stable to the CM 7 nightly builds.
Great job on the theme, keep it up!

No, there isn't a version of this theme for froyo, sorry.

The more I use this the more I love it. Makes me not want to load a new nightly until this theme is ready for it

[REQ]BootAnimation-Hitchhikers Guide to the galaxy

Looking for someone to do a hitchhikers guide to the galaxy boot animation. I've searched the threads and only found themes/wallpapers.
Here is a link of what I want or something similar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVBRk6Tktls
Starting from around the 39 second mark till the about the 55 second mark. I'm not big on the thumb up logo "fading away" into that portal part that is "O' of the word "to" that it goes into, so if someone could do it that where it just "stops" when the logo comes into full effect and maybe backs out just a bit in the video before the "portal" comes around it..that'd be cool.
I will be honest, I don't have a ton of money to donate, enough to get you a beer or so ($5 or so).
Anyhow thought the video would be a perfect idea. has the whole "loading this entry" thing at the begging which is pretty neat. I will now shut up and thank you to anyone willing to give this a shot.

I would love to see this
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I would also love to have this. but I vote from 0:39 to 1:07.
I also have made a couple of hitchhiker's guide walls, splash screens and lockscreens. a boot animation would just be awesome!

Hitchhikers Boot Animation
Heres my attempt at making the boot screen, no donation necessary. It should be about the 39 sec to 55 ish mark.
To keep the file size down, I ended up using about 1 out of every 4 frames from that portion of the video. (while trying to compile the images in Photoshop I ran out of memory several times initially due to the file size, lol) I also left it in portrait mode, but expanded the video anywhere i could to use more of the screen real estate. I personally think it goes well with the overall feel of the video anyways.
Here is a preview: (the actual boot screen doesn't run quite as fast as this gif example, i believe it should run at about the same speed as the youtube video.
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Just rename the file to bootanimation.zip and move or push it to the system/customize/resource, system/media, data/system/theme1/boot, or wherever your current bootanimation.zip is stored. I tested it on my Evo and it runs fine.
Let me know if it works and what you think!
**EDIT**
Ok, I've uploaded four versions of the boot animation:
One that loops continuously until the phone boots with Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" at the end (like in image above),
One that plays all the way through and remains on the last screenshot where it says "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy"
One that loops continuously until phone boots without "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" at the end.
One that plays all the way through and remains on a black screen until the phone boots.
There are also two android_audio.mp3 files (must unzip before moving to appropriate location) depending on the boot animation you want to use.
The short one stops any sound completely prior to the "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" displays at end.
The long one fades out until the phone boots with "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" at the end.
So in essence I recommend: The long sound is for number 2 above, and the short sound is for any of the other 3.
So I've left it up to you. Just unzip, then place the android_audio.mp3 in the same folder as the bootanimation.zip and you should be good to go. Also, depending on the rom you are using, you may have better luck changing android_audio.mp3 to SPC_final_animation.mp3.
CyanogenMod users (like myself) will want to follow the instructions here:

I wasn't able to get a boot sound to go along with it, as I'm currently running CyanogenMod 7 and cannot get the boot animation to play without flashing another rom.

I did come across that initially, but I was skeptical at first on using it as it looks like its for the G2 and Desire Z. Performed a nandroid and flashed the file, and i recieved the following error, which I did also post in the thread you mentioned:

looks awesome. At first I wasn't big on the whole "Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy" text at the end (like I put in the OP) but I think I can deal with it. Kinda makes it pretty neat honestly.
Only issue I have, using a Sense ROM (Kings Unleashed) I unzipped the android_audio.mp3, put in the same place at the bootanimation.zip (system/customize/resources), not getting any sound. I'm not using the looped version, I'm using the non-loop version.

I would try moving both into the system/media folder, and leaving the system/customize/resource folder empty. The phone should then look in the system/media folder for both. If that does not work, you could also try naming the boot sound to: SPC_animation_final.mp3. I just mention this because I saw this post, and it couldn't hurt. I'm fairly new at creating the boot animations, and I honestly haven't used sense since I got the Evo when it came out. Let me know if that helps. Also, I updated my original post to remove the "Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy" version, and adding a longer boot sound if you so choose to leave it in.

the SPC_final_animation worked for it
Thanks ahavens17 for taking time out of your day to do this and without asking for a donation. I wish you the best of luck as you continue developing your skills with all of this. Great job.

No problem at all, happy to do it. I'm glad the SPC_final_animation.mp3 worked. I'll add that to my ealier post as well.

Thanks ahavens17, love the concept, in case you can't tell from my name and avatar.
When I installed, the images displayed diagonal on my droid (very strange, never seen that before). I had to do some image scaling to get it to work, and ended up making my own version while I was at it. I trimmed the opening a bit, removed the ending, added a few frames with 'Mostly Harmless' in them, and cleaned up the text file since I didn't include sound. I also packed it in a morph that installs the bootanimation.zip in /data/local.
HitchhikerBootHdpiMorph.zip
I resized the .gif, text is clearer in the animation.

[BOOTANIMATION] Some Basic Bootup Screens - incl. Transformer logo

Thanks to a few posts on the forums (credit to fone-fanatic and jschmier) I've managed to create a few basic boot animations which I'll share here.
You do NOT need to be rooted for the ADB method. If you are sending back your device under warranty remember to remove the custom boot animation before you do. Code is below, showing you how. It doesn't interfere with anything else on your TF. It doesn't even overwrite the original file so you can roll-back any time you like.
_______________
How to install:
Download the file of your choice. Rename the file to 'bootanimation.zip'. Do not extract the files contents, leave it alone. Then follow the guide below.
Via Asus USB data cable (Does not require root):
Use ADB. Guide HERE. Copy the file to: C:/Users/(your username here). Type 'cmd' in the windows start box (in Windows 7 and Vista), or start menu>run then type cmd and hit enter (XP users). A dos emulator console box should pop up. If it isn't already at C:/Users/(your username here) then navigate to the folder containing the "bootanimation.zip" in the command prompt.
To check your device is connected type:
Code:
adb devices
If it's not, you need to follow the guide linked above to install the usb drivers.
-----
To add an animation type:
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
To test that it's installed correctly type:
Code:
adb shell bootanimation
And it should show the animation on the TF screen. Press ctrl+c to stop the animation.
To remove the boot animation and restore your unit to stock, type in:
Code:
adb shell rm /data/local/bootanimation.zip
-----
Via a file explorer app (Requires root):
Copy 'bootanimation.zip' onto a memory card. On your TF open the file explorer app of your choice (any app that allows you to copy and paste to the internal memory, "Root Explorer" is a useful app). Copy 'bootanimation.zip' and paste it to /Data/Local. If the folder doesn't exist, create it.
Via Dropbox and terminal emulator (May require root):
Follow the guide in this post HERE.
_____________
N.B. It seems that no matter what settings I use to make the files, on first playback the animation lags. After the first animation cycle it should run smooth once the files are cached though. It will do this each bootup unfortunately. It even does it with the official files so I guess it's just a hardware problem.
Downloads:
(The animation speeds of the preview gif files are not representative of the final files in the zip's. They are for reference only)
***A lot of these files may be down as the file hosting sites remove the files after 1-2 weeks of no activity nowadays which is useless. Once links are dead, they're dead... sorry. I've wasted wayyy too much time uploading and relinking them now.

Fancy saying thanks? Click the thanks button, buy me a coffee (via the donate button) or a new house (wouldn't say no to that one ) it's much appreciated (I've made it through too many sleepless nights with a cup o' Joe lately).
Or if you don't like that idea then please consider donating to The Red Cross, as they certainly deserve it a lot more than I do.
.

Thanks for that. I have downloaded the files but cannot find data\local on my tf.
I have data folder but there is no "local" folder in it. I have looked in system folder and I have no hidden files.....

Did you try creating a folder to put the files in it? I think you have to create it to get it to work. I tested them all via the ADB method so not sure about the file manager way tbh.

Thanks for putting these out - the effort is appreciated!
Had a suggestion if I may? Either a blue Transformer symbol with the exploding effect, or the Transformer symbol with the glowing chrome effect of the stock Android bootscreen - the one with the word "Android" across the middle of the screen....

If you have something very simple in mind, I might get around to attempting it. But I won't make any promises.
Android text animation added.

@Fisha21
I had a bit of time so attempted one for you. It's not great but that's the best you're gonna get im afraid. It's the 'Decepticon Zoom' one. Looks better on the tablet than in the gif animation.

Thanks a lot for that! Saw that one in the OP and thought it looked pretty cool. Will definitely give it a try..
EDIT: So, tried out the Decepticon zoom one, but it seemed to run very choppily, despite several reboots. Do appreciate you taking the time though. I liked the explode one, but not a fan of green. Tried recolouring to blue, but my resulting boot anim seems to run at twice the speed of the original. Not sure what I did wrong. Have attached it, maybe you could try it out, see what I messed up? Also, did you use separate layers for that one? If so, do you have just the exploding effect .pngs without the word "Asus" - would be cool to add different text there....

"Transformer" animation
stuntdouble nice work, thanx for sharing!
i have a few questions, if i may?
what do you use to create the png's, photoshop?
how long did it take you to make "android" animation?
would you be able to make one like "android" but with "transformer" instead?
also, how hard would it be to make an animation like the title of the "Transformers" movie? (or something similar to it)
you can see it in some trailers on YouTube, you know the letters transforming into the final title.
look at the 2nd vid from the top on this page (titled "WATCHPREVIEW"):

I've started using Adobe After Effects so I'm just practising the basics at the moment. It can export a series of png's which is handy. It took about an hour to make the 'android' logo from scratch. Sorry but I don't really want to repeat the same stuff over and over as I'm trying to learn new things in the program.
That 'transformers' title logo sequence looks quite cool. I'll try make an 'android' version of that some time.

You aren't the only one asking for something along these lines, which has inspired me to give it a shot. Not wanting to high-jack stuntdouble's thread or detract from the excellent work he has done on these boot animations, I started another thread to feature this animation.

It usually lags the first time it tries to play the file, on every boot, as it caches the info to ram. My animated gif speeds are normally different from the resulting file, as they are just an example of what the animation looks like, not of the speed as well. If you want yours to run faster or slower then you can change the frames per second figure in the desc.txt file from 20 to something else. A lower number plays it slower and a higher number plays it faster. On the flip side however you have to be careful, because if you increase it too much it will lag a lot. This depends on the filesize of the individual images.
I'll pm you a link to the file and you can play around with it as much as you want.

I meant it runs twice the speed of your original green one when I put it on the device itself. Thanks for the PM. And again, thanks for your work so far...

No problem. Just halve the fps in the desc.txt file then, and re-package into a zip file.

You might consider optimizing the PNG images used in the animations. I don't know enough about the algorithms to know how it impacts rendering, but there is typically a decrease in the overall size of the boot animation. For example, optimizing the PNG images in the exploding ASUS logo animation (explode.zip) via rOptiPng (roptipng -o7 **/*.png) resulted in a ~10.5% (760 KB) size decrease.

Buttons and backgrounds are made with Photoshop CS6 Extended by me.
Viper-Logo on the Slider: Lesscro, owned by Team Venom. Thanks for the permissions!
Home, Back and SlideOut Buttons: @rootrider. Thank you mate. Much appreciated
NavBar: stock HTC Sense5, ripped off the ONE (thanks @he_stheone64 ), Thanks HTC!
ui.xml is pretty much the reference layout at teamw.in’s repo over at OmniRom and has only placement and color edits from me to make all stuff fit, so it's pretty much stock.
HowTo:
download the ui.zip
place it on your SDcard into the folder "theme" which is located inside the folder "TWRP". If that folder doesn't exist, create it.
Correct path: \sdcard\TWRP\theme\ui.zip
then boot into recovery and enjoy.
Notice: all datamedia devices that have TWRP located on /data/media or /data/media/0 need the “theme” folder in small letters, not capitalized, or else the theme won’t be recognized! I believe Dees_Troy is looking into this but for now you need to pay attention to this.
Disclaimer:
According to TeamWin, it is possible to introduce bugs and malicious code into TWRP by means of a theme. I spent a lot of time testing this myself and asure you, i found no malicious button or hidden function in it
However, i cannot guarantee, that there won't be problems from using a theme. If you ever suspect this theme of doing something bad to your phone, please let me know asap, so i can fix that.
I do not want to harm anyone's tech, but i also can't take responsibility for this, as using themes is always the sole responsibility of the user. I am not god. I can't foresee everything.
This theme has been updated to TWRP 2.7.0.0 and is functional on all versions 2.7 and up so far. it will also be working on all FullHD devices, so M7 and M8 for sure, probably others.[/B]

Superb theme for our recovery:good:

Using viper 1.4 Rom but cannot delete the already ui.zip I already have?!? I keep getting error in fx explorer. I have root access, s-off, handlesdcard exposed module. Why can I not touch this existing theme to replace with this one in this thread? In currently using the blue carbon theme.

Blame the xposed module.
Also, sometimes when you pushed that file into the folder with adb in recovery, it's inaccessible from within Android. Happens with buggy TWRP versions that set wrong uuid's and/or permissions.
Try some other file explorer like ES or Root Explorer. If that doesn't help, delete the ui.zip with the recovery file manager and push the new one with:
adb push ui.zip /sdcard/TWRP/theme/ui.zip
See if that helps.

Using TWRP file manager worked perfectly. I deleted it, then rebooted system. Then showed file was deleted with fx explorer so then tried to move this theme to the theme folder and got the error message again, no access. Figure WTF here and just went back into TWRP recovery and did everything with TWRP file manager. Reboot into recovery, now the theme is running and file is where it's suppose to be. Weird.

First blamed the rom since i installed Venom rom 1.4 and after install by default the exposed installer is turned off/not installed. So by default this was not possible at all! That's a rom issue. I then turned on exposed installer app/installed, then selected the module, then rebooted. Still same effect.
Had to do everything with TWRP file manager. I deleted the file fine, then moved this theme in there fine, renamed it fine, reboot into recovery fine to see the awesome theme in action! Appreciate the heads up, had no idea TWRP had a file manager full access!!!
I've tried root explorer, etc. All the same compared to FX Explorer, won't work for this procedure. Don't know if it's because i had an existing file in that folder which caused this or not?

It's complicated. It's maybe to do with a messed up permission or uuid or due to the explorer u use. Hard to guess around. Maybe you'd do best with a factory reset with a stock ROM and recovery and rebuild your phone. That's what I always do when I get these kinds of issues.

Well done, Sneaky... This thing is cool (and I don't even like red that much)! :good:

Probably not because the buttons were made as an experiment in Photoshop CS6 3D.
It was a nightmare and needs proper learning and I'm not much inclined to pick that up again.
I might do that if I feel really bored and motivated to learn ps 3d but only God knows when that will happen.
[EDIT]
I could pass on the PSD for the button though if you happen to be into PS 3D. If you do the buttons, I do the xml

It's actually just one theme. And it was made for Viper not TD but i think i made it while still hanging around @torxx (wherever he may be these days - God bless him)

Here's your theme in blue. I just threw it together for ya real quick with a batch re-color. I'm not really in love with the coloring of every png but they can be easily changed by anybody with GIMP, PS, or any other photo editing software. Just play around with the RGB levels and possibly brightness until you get the color you want.

Ya you sabotaging my arguments here :laugh:
I wasn't gonna do the recoloring/overlay thing. I refuse to do that. I would have taken the PSD and redone the buttons in the 3D workspace for learning. Your thing is the cheap way out. Now you're forcing me to do just that.
Man you're mean.

Oh and besides, that color is fugly. I don't do fugly.

Man you're an ass sometimes [emoji12]. You could just say thanks but I digress.
As I said, that is a simulated screenshot, it does not do the theme justice. It is not a live screenshot, I just quickly recolored the whole preview.png. For the actual theme, each PNG was recolored with a different code. Because of this the screenshot doesn't look right, however, as I also said, I don't like the color either haha.
Anyway, why are you complain about rebuilding the buttons in PS? That's too much work and just foolish. Re color it, that's the easy way to do it. I know you didn't want to take any requests and that's totally cool. Now as far as not doing fugly, you're forgetting I've seen ALL of your work. Lol Neither one of us is on all the time.

well put it on the table. I have no time, i am dead when getting home, i am not doing anything theming, i only updated this existing one which is just simple XML transfers from the old to the new structure and thanks to Beyond Compare been a job of 30 Minutes. The new button took me like 1 hour until i had it the way i wanted it. Learned a few new tricks along the way. That's been the last Holiday-Afternoon. Now its gonna be a LONG stretch till the next holidays come up.
IF i happen to feel like doing different colors, i would - let it be stupid or not - do it via rebuilding the whole button because i want to learn and exercise in Photoshop CS6 3D. Anything i can already master (like good recoloring jobs) is a waste of time in my eyes. I am not doing stuff to serve people. I do stuff to please myself and learn new stuff. Mostly that is.
Sorry for being an ass. I love you man! Easy.

[BootTheme] MotoBlack v2.0 by xpmule 2016

I would say this is my best attempt at a Black mod of the stock default BootLogo.
I tried a huge amount of logo's and colors and effects but i was going for a simple style.
I re-created every single image in intense detail.
I also will start calling these a Boot "Theme"
This is a package made up of not just the Boot-Logo but ALL the Bootloader's 27 images.
So in reality it's far more of a theme than just a Logo.
I started doing this because i noticed a sloppy lame effort by Motorola on the default Logo.bin
I think my "themed" BootLogo came out looking a LOT better.
FEATURES:
- 5 separate flashable Boot Logo Sets (all using the same Menu Buttons)
- High Resolution.. Images @ 245 DPI (DPI of the Moto-E ?) Logo sourced from High Res 1600x1600.
- Smallest File Size.. I was aiming for performance + quality (This is far smaller than the default Logo.bin)
- Tested.. Charging etc + Flashing via TWRP & ADB/PC on Marshmallow & Lollipop.
- Simple Style.. Boot Logo Text "Android" dropped / removed. (just because)
- Unlocked Boot Logo.. Same Logo for Locked or Unlocked Bootloaders (Unlock Warning Removed)
- New Bootloader Buttons.. Colors were chosen carefully to make navigation more intuitive.
- Bootloader Button Text.. Changed the Menu Options Text to be shorter and more descriptive.
- Optimized Graphics.. Flat PNG's made with Adobe Fireworks (32bit, 245DPI) + cut away unneeded space.
- Cleaned up.. Removed the 3 Charging Images because they are never used (replaced with 1 pixel images)
- Improved Arrow Buttons.. Fixed alignment and created new images with a gradient effect (Wingdings3 font)
- Improved Menu Text.. Used much larger font size to make it easier to read (Droid Sans)
- Droid_Operation.. Android Robot on Bootloader was made larger and centered and a bit darker.
- Flashable Zip Format.. Or if you want to use ADB/PC to flash it just extract the Logo.bin from the zip file.
- Supported Systems.. Android 5.0, 5.1, 5.1.1 & 6.0
Note: I used the update-binary from inside the MotoBootLogoMaker Program + my own Update Script.
So comments / suggestions are welcome..
I did already make a few variations such as a Blue Sky with some clouds glass effect Logo.
I may share that one too later but i wanted to see if anyone has any suggestions or requests.
Note: I originally did this Logo Dark-Grey but felt the Blue color was a bit better.
I also did a Logo that matched the original shade of blue (all with black backgrounds)
And yeah i have seen others do it already.. but they usually do a sloppy job of it.
I also wanted to share this thinking some people may want it simply to use the Buttons etc.
So people feel free to take my Logo.bin and put your own Logo-Picture in and share it etc.

EXPECT MORE !​

I am reserving this spot for a couple of the variations i made.
(most of the work is already done)
PS:
Expect more = i mean, Expect more from us who make & share things.. don't settle for sloppy crap
EDIT:
Here is a variation i was going to add.. Same logo as what i already uploaded but i put some effects on it.
So do you people think it's better with or with out the Text (new or old font?) sometimes i like all 3.
Anyway, does this one look interesting?
Other Logo suggestions etc ?
hxxp://i68.tinypic.com/2lt288m.jpg

Well since i edited my last comment i went and threw together + Tested another Logo quick..
It's the same as the first one but a different Main Logo. (download = post attachment)
MotoBlack v2.1 "DarkFeather"

Same as first one just a new main Logo..
MotoBlack v2.2 "VerticalLines"

Last one for a while
This one is the same but a new Logo featuring India.
MotoBlack v2.3 "Earth"

love it! see if u can silhouette a face or a canadian leaf(flag?) in the reflection!:laugh:

@lenigma1too
Not a bad suggestion.
I imported a bunch of different CAN flags into the PhotoShop Plugin i am using on Fireworks
(Custom Reflection Maps) combined with the Alien Skin Glass effect but sadly it just wasn't working too good
I may have a another go at it to see if i can get something though.
I just wanted to acknowledge your suggestion and let you know i did look into it.
It did give me some ideas and experimenting is good so it wasn't a loss.
Feedback is welcome guys and do whatever you want with these i shared.

Thanks i hope you guys like the Bootloader Menu buttons i took a long time on those.
If someone wanted them i can share the editable PNG's i used to make them.
I created one file with all options inside it..
I also have been using the DarkFeather one for myself ever since.
One thing i noticed is there is a difference in brightness between my phone and my PC.
So i sometimes i quickly go back and adjust the brightness to make the Logo way darker.
The Boot screen tends to make true black super bright

I'm actually scared to try this because, the boot menu buttons are different in my phone.. I think it's because I've an older bootloader? So This theme " might" mess up my bootloader.. So can you just send the logo.bin file for those 2 themes? Thanks in advance
Sent from my XT1521 using XDA-Developers mobile app

Quality workmanship... Lenotorola should b embarrassed!
Yeah dude, super impressed. As I stated before I have three of these phones, and I enjoyed your bootloader theme so much it's now on all three of them! Two of them are daily drivers, & third one is my ROM/App tester, as it has a small crack in the screen, thus ->> not a daily driver. Out of all the logo.bins' ive flashed, and mods installed, & Everything I've ever loaded, yours are by far the most detailed and beautifully constructed visuals I've ever had! And the details with the bootloader images & the buttons/keys & the front? Better than icing on the cake, it's like butter icing in a spoon (if that could be any better?!? Lolz!) Come to think of it, I think I've only ever encountered one other flash that change the font. Never mind changing all 27 images, centering them and graphic resizing them so it looks appropriate and proportional!
My hat goes off to you sir!
Its such a quality job, rest assured they will be on every Moto E 2nd edition I ever own, I ever fixed, or repair...
I somehow end up doing a lot of those last two things

@ lenigma1too
Thanks for the kind words
I did this for myself like i was saying when i seen how sloppy the default Moto buttons were.
It would be easy for me to make the txt in the menu items like the original bootloader (if you all want)
And yeah the TXT alignment was irritating the hell out of me on the original menu items.
They would jump around all over LOL
And to the other guy i have no reason to believe it would be a problem on your phone.
All these do is change the pictures.. that is it.
It does nothing else like modifying the Bootloader or changing fonts etc.
And i have been downloading and comparing Firmware packages since 5.0
And the stock Logo.bin from Motorola has never changed.
For example..
XT1527_SURNIA_RETCA_5.0.2_LXI22.50-53.8_cid14_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml
MD5: af89b4f5f32b6a16e6b8611e5b7051e0

MD5: af89b4f5f32b6a16e6b8611e5b7051e0
And MANY more i tested.. ALL them exact same !
One thing i did notice i think though is on Lollipop Bootloaders
the entry for WIFI Flash would show up and can be seen..
But On Marshmallow Bootloaders it's now gone.
It's the Bootloader that controls that stuff.. it decides.
I do not think WIFI Flash was ever implemented for real.
It was a beta feature in the works i seen after googling it recently back on Lollipop.
Which seems to be removed from Marshmallow (at least the visible text / menu entry anyway)
So guy..
I said in the first post either flash it with TWRP etc
OR.. just extract the Logo.bin file from the zip file and use ADB to flash it.
And if anyone is curious what is inside them just download "MotorolaBootLogoMaker"
then open the Logo.bin i shared and browse to see all the images. (or add you own instead etc)
Flashable zip files are just normal zip files guys.
So there is no point in me uploading the theme logo 2 times.
Also i had debated on sharing a different version of the planet one.
I had originally made it all blue using a color filter effect but i opted to share the full color one even though both looked good.
The other major reason i did these was the Bootloader menu options were so hard to read.
I wanted to make the text on the menu options way bigger.

I flashed it and man it looks so damn cool! Thanks @xpmule . Btw is there a way to freeze the phone at the bootlogo for a longer time so i can look it the cool logo ? Hehe
Edit:
This theme is so good it makes me want a special bootanimation.. Something like the Earth bootlogo, but the earth spins and u can see the cool lights as night approaches in different countries :silly::silly:

I do not think you can stop it..
Thanks for the feedback too
I also had thought of making an animated Bootlogo to go with these too.
To start a black background conversion of the original Animation
and then a couple variations too.
But i had issues with the tools and then keep forgetting.
One issue is most Logos's and animations are image based,
so if i took one of them and modded it i have to covert it to a video so i started looking into that
I know i can probably use ffmpeg via commandline but i wanted a program with a GUI (i found one)
SO there is more to come
It would make more sense to be calling it a Boot theme if included an Animation also.
i really just wanted a mod of the original one with black-backgrounds to make it easier on my eyes.
That is the main point here for all this..
In case you guys didn't know you can use ANY video as a Bootloader-Animation.
So the options are limitless. (You can also convert animated images into videos too)
But be careful installing the old style Moto v1 BootAnimations some of them may brick your phone.
*Some* of the older more common animated JPEG sets seem to work and other trap your phone into a bootloop
I know i did it myself LOL
What i did was get a BootAnimation zip that had inside it jpeg's (it was an official Moto one untouched with same 540x960)
But it got part way through then locked up.. my phone could not boot afterwards and i had to restore from a back-up.
You can tell them apart by opening any BootAnimation.zip file
then checking if you see a ton of jpeg's or 2 mp4 files (mp4 = new version on Moto E 2015)
The first mp4 is a short clip meant to play once then the 2nd super short one is meant to loop / repeat.
This make it last longer if the Booting takes longer than normal etc. (so the video animation can vary in length dynamically)
Lastly i did some digging and i got the Encoder settings for the official Motorola Boot Animations
And then i created a profile for the x264 encoder on Avidemux (to create video's exactly like the originals)
Blah blah blah
Point is i will work up some more stuff to share soon i think LOL

Menu Buttons Source
So i zipped up the source to the buttons and added them here as an attachment.
This includes the Font i used and the editable PNG and a note text file.
The text file lists the original + changed colors and names.
The font.zip has all Droid fonts but i only used "Droid Sans regular" 40 point (and Wingdings 3 default on Win7)
Note: the PNG has the two little arrows "grouped" together. (right click them and select un-group in Fireworks)
Only 1 text entry and arrow set should be visible then save..
Then on next button hide those and make 2 other ones visible and save again.
Then put them in MotoBootLogoMaker.. save, flash & boot
I have lots of weird fonts.. i could do the buttons in Klingon if needed but i was going for "normal" LOL
The point to this was i was just trying to make the menu buttons easier to read and maybe look a bit nicer.
But if anyone wants what i used to make their own mod feel free to do what ever you all want with this stuff.
Fonts included their respective license files (Apache)

Here is another another one just a different main logo.
This is the default Marshmallow BootLogo converted to a Black background.
It has a nice smooth result because i used a color filter to flip Black/White while keeping Color.
I also upped the DPI to 245 (from 72)
Couple quick notes..
First the original png can only be found inside the bootanimation.zip listed as SOL.png
If you go get the same picture from the stock Logo.bin it will be the old version
as seen on Lollipop Firmware's and on Current Marshmallow Firmware's.
Why care?
Because it's different.
It has subtle textures applied to it and a slightly different color of Blue.
It also matches the BootAnimation "Stitches" for Marshmallow by Motorola.
And yes i have started working on converting the animation to go with this too.
But it's a LOT of work !
I have made a test so far and the result is the video encoder i used is making the black a bit too bright.
And because of the background now being black the texture flickering is far more noticeable
then it is on the stock white one from Moto.
So i am not sure how the "Stitches" animation converted to Black is going to work out.
I guess i will finish making it soon and upload it and you all can decide..
In the meantime i uploaded here the Boot LOGO part as an attachment.. flashable.zip / tested
(hopefully you guys got what i meant by all this rambling)
EDIT:
Added the test MP4 video i was talking about earlier as a zipped attachment.
It's the 2nd part of the default MM animation with a Black background conversion.
You can all probably see how the Texture flickers and is noticeable in Black.
PS:
Let me know if these pictures are killing your browser.
I can re-size them smaller if they are too much..
EDIT2: "stitches update"
I changed tools and got a better more exact result using FFMPEG.exe
So far i completed the 2nd 4 second clip matching the encoder settings 99.99 exact as the original.
The next one is 14 seconds long so will be more work / time.
What i had to do was dump every single video frame out into a lossless image format
then apply a Photoshop Filter (using Fireworks) effect to each individual image frame one by one.
the 4 seconds clip required me editing 96 images totaling around 100mb's.
Thank god for keyboard shortcuts LOL
So i will for sure finish it up and test it then upload it soon guys.
To recap, this will be the Boot-Animation for Marshmallow called "Stitches" with a black background.
And it will match perfectly the Boot logo i uploaded on this comment v2.4
MotoBlack v2.4 "Stitches"​​

These are really great logos. My favorites are the Moto Black with the solid black background and the Moto Black Stitches. I have always liked the simple Motorola logo and these are super clean. Did the glass reflection logo get removed?
Thank you for your work.

Thanks for letting me know.
I did not make the Blue Glass Logo into a Logo.bin.
Was not sure it was good enough to be honest.
I posted it as sample to see if anyone was interested if i made it into a Logo.bin file.
I tend to like the simple ones myself and dark too.
Anything i have shared i hope is dark so the icons on the home-screen are easy to see.
I don't like bright wallpaper backgrounds they are too distracting.. and can be too bright i think.
There will be more uploaded i have some ideas i am working on.
If anyone has any suggestions feel free to post them. (or questions)
Thanks for the feedback :good:

@xpmule
What program did you use to modify the logo.bin file? I've tried what I found online to no avail.
Thank you.
