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.)

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.
-Jobo
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.

What are you using to convert the splash.jpg to splash.img? I tried an older method but for some reason it's not working.
can anyone turn this into a rgb565 data.

ffmpeg will do it,
Code:
ffmpeg -i splash1.bmp -f rawvideo -pix_fmt rgb565 splash.565
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.

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

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.

Usually we put downanimation.zip and bootanimation.zip into \system\customize\resource, but this is rom dependent.
I have no knowledge of InsertCoin.
In htc_black.7z you'll find htc_black.img - a flashable image.
To flash this splashscreen you'll need to execute this following commands:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash splash1 htc_black.img
fastboot reboot

First it's 960*540
Look in the theme's and apps section. I would love to give you mine but I'm on 3G.
And here's a simpler way:
Use the terminal emulator (or gscript if you don't like to type that text every time)
Just make a folder called "splashscreens" in your sd card inside it put the image file and rename it to "htc" (you can change the names if you want as long as they match the command)
Then in terminal emulator type :
su
Then :
dd if=/mnt/sdcard/splashscreens/htc.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14
And sure you must be s-off
And if your device not a Sensation. Don't try it.
Hope this is easier for you

If youre screen size is 400 by 600 then you don't have a Sensation, which means do not use ANY advise on how to change a splash screen that you find in this forum. Anything that we suggest that works for the Sensation is very likely to cause massive massive problems to any other device.
Seek this help in the forum for your phone to make sure you get an answer that's compatible.
had some free time...went to play with the splash screen.
the splash screen size is the same as the display actually.
size: w 720 h 1280
however, with the moded kernel....the htc red writings with start about h at 800.
anyway...I don't know where should I post this information...
If this does not help development...feel free to move it.

i dont think it has it's own partition.. probably combined with other things..
i saw on a post somewhere on here that someone found the splash (not boot animation). I dont remember what post or where i saw it but i will look around and post here if/when i find it.
On the Rezound, splash screen has its own partition. It is mmcblk0p14 on our phone.
This is the updater-script code I use to flash splash screens via recovery:
Code:
ui_print("Extracting Files...");
package_extract_dir("splash", "/tmp");
ui_print("Setting Up...");
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/dd");
ui_print("--Flashing Splash ...");
run_program("/tmp/dd", "if=/tmp/splash1.img", "of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14");;
ui_print("Done!");
In the root of that zip, there is a folder called splash with dd and a splash screen named splash1.img inside. The reference zip file is attached.
This site: http://droid.tnet.com/rezsplashgen
That will allow you to make 720p splash screens by uploading an image of your choice. Then just open the zip file that it gives you and pull the splash1.img as that zip file is for the Rezound only but the splash screen it makes will work fine.
So, in a nutshell what you need to do:
1) Identify the partition your splash screen is located at. I was able to do it for my phone and I can help someone via gtalk (pm me) if you want to take a stab at it for the XL and want my help.
2) Change "of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14" in my script to the correct partition that was found for your device and put the new updater-script in the zip file.
3) Make a splash screen and put that in the splash folder in the zip file.
4) Have someone who wants to be the first to test... since the splash is no longer signed, it might brick or be blank. An RUU should fix it though. (extremely unlikly, phone will run fine with a corrupt splash screen (yes, it has been tested lol))
Reference zip is attached.
edit:
I looked into it a bit.
I used the dumped partitions I found on dropbox.
It could be 9,11,12,14,15,16,23,30
My two with the highest confidence were #12 and #14. #14 could be hboot though and obviously that would be a horrible idea to try flashing a splash to that. But if #14 isn't your hboot, then maybe that is it.

edit:
I looked into it a bit.
I used the dumped partitions I found on dropbox.
It could be 9,11,12,14,15,16,23,30
My two with the highest confidence were #12 and #14. #14 could be hboot though and obviously that would be a horrible idea to try flashing a splash to that. But if #14 isn't your hboot, then maybe that is it.

take a look at p14...yea it does look like splash however the size is very different...
the splash1.nb0 is 2mb and p14 is 6mb..
will test it when i have time tonight...
Thanks
remember a dumped image will be the full size of the partition, including blank space. If I remember correctly, the partition for the splash screen is MUCH bigger than it needs to be. Also be careful because with S-ON changing the splash could have severe negative effects.
Yeah i tried changing the splash with my HOS when i had it and it had s-on and it didnt work, so until we get s-off i doubt we can do much

Here is an updater-script for a custom splash screen for the Evo 4g LTE so u can get an idea of what there doing. There just flashing them in recovery.

This DOES NOT work on the i9300/note 2 and never will, please stop asking about it.
Thanks to the work of invisiblek and some Google searching I was able to come up with the following tool:
This tool takes a 720x1280 .PNG image and converts it to a recovery-flashable splash screen in a single click.
A video so you can see what this changes: http://youtu.be/XXaBJTVQ2Sw
How to use:
Making your own splash screen:
0) Download and extract the .zip file
1) Make a 720x1280 .png image you want to be your splash screen (this comes in-between the boot animation and the quick Samsung logo flash)
2) Name it "initlogo.png" without the quotes
3) Place it in the PNGtoConvert folder
4) Run the "PNG-2-RLE.bat" file
5) You are finished! A "flashthisinrecovery.zip" will appear in the same directory as the batch files. Just flash it in recovery and enjoy your new splash screen!
Note: If you want the .RLE and not the whole flashable, it can be found as "initlogo.rle" in the "kernel" folder or you can pull it from the kernel folder inside the "flashmeinrecovery.zip"
Converting an .RLE that you made back to a .PNG for editing:
0) Download an extract the .zip file
1) Copy the "initlogo.rle" you want to convert to a .PNG to the RLEtoConvert folder. It must be named "initlogo.rle"
2) Run the "RLE-2-PNG.bat"
3) PNG will be in the PNGtoConvert folder named "initlogoOUTPUT.png"
Other notes:
I have included the stock initlogo as a .PNG named "initlogoSTOCKBACKUP.png" for your reference/backup purposes. If you want to test the tool with it, remember to rename it to initlogo.png
If you flash a new kernel/rom the splash will revert to stock. To get it back, just flash the "flashmeinrecovery.zip" again. You don't need to reconvert it or anything.
This has only been tested with the d2_vzw but will work with all USA (S4 CPU) variants!

No... there are too many windows binaries lol.
Sounds interesting, I just downloaded it and will play around with this tonight. I don't know why I never thought about personalizing my phone by just changing out my splash image with one of my own, but this sounds cool and will give me something to play around with tonight at work. Thanks, I will let you know how it works out for me. I appreciate your efforts and willingness to share your work.

I mean lets be honest it is really a minor thing and it shows for all of 5 seconds but it is still fun to change.
The Samsung thing is getting kind of old...just sayin.

It must be 720x1280. If you don't follow the directions (read Step #1) you shouldn't expect it to work!
i thanked you in the other post so i'll do it here too. thanks!
I love changing my splash screens and boot animations. when I came over from a long line of Evos everyone was looking at my like if I was crazy when I was wondering why we couldn't change our splash.
anyways, have you looked into changing the Samsung splash that comes before? I would like to replace both so that the image I created shows longer. don't need that Samsung logo flashing around

I don't think we can because it is a part of the bootloader which is signed so we can't modify it. On the gnex the app logome can change it but we can't due to the security. I am not sure if the other carrier models are signed but for Verizon I am pretty sure it's impossible.

Worked great. Here is my (extremely dumb) first splash haha.
Here is mine! We should make a thread with all of these btw. Maybe I'll go over to the theme section in a little bit and make one.
You can generate your own custom boot splash! (You must be S-Off!)
(This is the first picture you see when you boot up your device, before the boot animation starts. The one you also see before booting into recovery.)
How to do it:
Upload a picture to the online boot splash zip generator (http://jobiwan.net:81/bootsplash-m8). (If your picture is not 1080x1920 it will be resized without retaining proportions.)
It generates and downloads a flashable .zip file,
Flash the resulting .zip file in recovery.
Disclaimer:
You have unlocked and rooted your device, flashed custom recoveries, and turned it S-Off, so by now you should know that you have nobody to blame but yourself.
Anyway: This tool is provided as is, with no warranty whatsoever. If you brick your device, I will feel sad for you but I will not be responsible.
Some context:
A while ago I made this tool for the One S Ville. It was the result of mapping out all the partitions and figuring out hboots. See this thread. (Don't flash the zips from that thread on your M8!)
Since then, I have added support for the One M7, it turned out that the .zip files for the Ville are also good for the Ville C2, and I added support for the Desire X.
Now I also added support for the One M8. It is the same as the M7 except for the partition number.
Thanks to @Sneakyghost for testing this version of the online generator.
Also, I did not do the research myself. It was already mapped. Sneaky told me the partition number.
How it works:
On the One M8, partition 12 (/dev/block/mmcblk0p12) contains the boot splash.
The first 4050kB, 4147200 bytes (1080 x 1920 x 2), are raw RGB565 bitmap data.
On boot, this data gets copied into the frame buffer. We can put anything in there.
The boot splash generator resizes your image to 1080x1920 and then converts it to raw 16 bit RGB data.
It then puts the result into a recovery-flashable .zip file. When run on the phone in recovery, it unpacks the raw image file and copies it into partition 12.
Back to stock:
The attached .zip files are recovery flashable. They contain the stock boot splashes. (I took a .zip from the generator and replaced the splash image with the images from extracted RUUs.) So if you ever want the stock splash back, you can flash this. Running a RUU will also flash the stock splash back.
Share & Enjoy!
If you create any cool splashes, that others might like, please post them in this thread with a pictures and zips.

Some splashes that people posted in this thread
These are some splashes that people have posted in this thread: (Images link to zips.)
So was going to ask for this but don't have s-off so didn't ask you about it.
Hey buddy thanks for doing this for us. I also appreciate your permission to put your generator in a frame on venomroms.com - cool gimmick! We do love your work mate. Makes stuff very easy.
Just another warning for those who overread it in the first post: M8 Splash screen sits in Partition 12 - that's where the M7 has its HBOOT!
DO NEVER FLASH THE M8 SPLASH ON THE M7 WITH A RECOVERY ZIP! IT WILL BRICK YOUR M7
(just saying).
Thanks for this i was wondering if i could change that and now i have my answer :good:
heres mine if you want...
Thanks for this useful tool.
If anyone wants the red boot splash to hide the red text on stock hboot, download it here:

i made this one to go with my weed theme
This works perfectly! Thank you very much!
Thought I'd share a black background one that I made from the stock HTC one in the OP. Maybe it'll be of use to someone. :good:
Here's another one. It's a black background with just the HTC logo. :good:

In an adb shell in recovery mode, you can dd the contents of p12 into a file:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 of=/sdcard/splashbackup.img
To restore, you dd the file back into the block device:
dd if=/sdcard/splashbackup.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12
(Make sure your sdcard is mounted.)
/!\ Be careful:
If you enter the wrong partition number you may have a brick.
For other devices than the M8, the partition number may be different.

cool man thank you...
its been a long time since i dont mess with htc phones... since the HTC One S (Ville)
Just did this one. See attachment.
remember: flash this on the M7 and the device is bricked. This is for M8 only!
Saw this on a t-shirt online and decided to make some of it into a bootscreen.
