Hi All,
Long time reader, first time poster. Long story short I picked my Gtab up after a long hiatus and wanted to load a custom boot logo to replace the g-tablet logo. Unfortunately I coudlnt find any posts for windows-only users. I found 2 sites with really helpful guides and put 2 n 2 together. I was stoked when my custom logo worked! Credit goes out to Igorv at Slatedroid and LeslieAnn from Android Central forums for their well detailed guides. Special thanks goes out to rajeevvp for compiling the cwm script.
Running Flashback ROM on BL 1.2.
Standard Disclaimer:
Use at your own risk. Im not responsible for what happens to your tablet. Nor do I know how this will affect your other apps. Its highly recommended you do a back up.
Required:
- Gtablet
- 1024x600 pixel image of choice
- Update.zip from Igorv at Slatedroid
- boot_screen_logo_creation_package.rar from LeslieAnn at Android Central
- CWM experience
- Command Prompt experience
This was created for Viewsonic G-tablet. It will replace 2nd boot logo (logo after birds).
Using Clockworkmod flash "update.zip" as you would with a ROM. It will only replace logo.
A. Download one of the Gtablet.zip file from Igorv (See Link 1 below)
B. Unpack any one of the update.zip files. You should have subfolders META-INF and tmp folders. You will replace the initlogo.rle in the tmp folder later.
C. Choose or Create any image file you want to replace the logo with. Make sure the dimensions are 1024x600 pixels
D. Create the RLE file with LeslieAnn's guide (See Link 2 below)
Install:
Extract the boot_screen_logo_creation_package.rar file someplace (see Link 3 below), I recommend something short because you will have to type the location. I use my D drive and a folder named RLE. So D:\RLE is the location I put these files.
How to create an rle file:
Step 1
Make the image you want to use. It MUST be 1024x600 pixels (for the G Tablet).
Step 2
Save the file as a PNG file to the directory you extracted the tool (in my case D:\RLE). I also save the file as a psd so I can later edit it further in a folder specifically for storing this stuff.
Step 3
Go to your start menu and find Command Prompt. This will be in (All) Programs/Accessories.
Step 4
Go to the folder you put the tool, in my case D:\RLE
Step 5
Run the tool, you need to know the name of the png file, again, in my case this is logo.png. Run the tool with the command:
convert_image_to_rle.bat logo.png
You should be left with the raw file, a png file and an rle file, all named logo.
Step 6
Rename the rle file to initlogo.rle and place the file into the update\tmp folder
E. repackage both the META-INF and tmp folder into a new update.zip file. (do not repackage the update folder. Repackage both the META-INF and tmp folders.)
F. Copy the update.zip file into your internal SD card
G. flash the update.zip file you created in CWM like you normally would for a rom
H. Reboot twice and enjoy! (mine hung after the 2nd boot logo and wouldnt get to the boot animation. a second reboot did the trick)
Thanks

Check it out, I hope you like it.
BOOTANIMATION 1:
Added CWM Flashable zip file (10/07/2012)
to go along with the ROM name change (18/06/2012).
CHANGELOG:
New SGT7 logo
Cleaner AOKP logo.
Cleaner Android 3D
Simplify animation movements
File attached : bootanimation.zip
CWM Flashable file attached on post # 2: AOKPSGT7-1Bootanimation.zip
BOOTANIMATION 2:
Added CWM Flashable zip file (10/07/2012)
(29/06/2012)
A simpler version of bootanimation for AOKP SGT7
Android with Stimpz0r's avatar on the Chest
File attached: AOKP2bootanimation.zip
CWM Flashable file attached on post # 2: AOKPSGT7-2bootanimation.zip
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 Methods to change your bootanimation:
Method 1:
you will need root access and Root Explorer.
1. Choose one of the bootanimations on post#1 and download to your device.
2. Change the filename of the .zip file you downloaded to bootanimation.zip
3. Using Root Explorer, Go to /system/media, change permission from R/O to R/W
4. Place the new bootanimation.zip in the folder replacing the original one.
Method 2:
1. Choose and download one of the two CWM Flashable zip file on post#2
2. Reboot to CWM recovery mode.
3. Flash the zip file.
Note: Please don't forget to back up your old bootanimation just in case you don't like what you downloaded.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Credit AOKP-SGT7 ROM:
Stimpz0r for making AOKP SGT7 available and to modify it for our G-tab
Team Kang for the beautiful ICS ROM
SGT7TE4M for the mods and tweaks they do.
Without them, this boot animation would be meaningless and has no sentimental values.

Hey Do you have any plan to create more bootanimation for AOKP builds?
I'm now in AOKP. I like this ROM, but the bootanimation is just too unicorny.
nice +1
Per your requests, here is new version of bootanimation

Hey AOKP-SGT7 fans,
Another version of bootanimation to choose from. Tthe latest one (AOKP2bootaimation) is a simple bootanimation. An android with stimpz0r's avatar on the chest walking toward the screen and stop in the middle of the screen with AOKP SGT7 appears below it. -- With a Carbon-fiber background.
Enjoy!
Awesome

Thanks for the CWM flashable zip. This is convenient for replacing bootanimation after every ROM flashed. Downloading now.
First things first...
This is not solely my work.... i've combined two different threads then edited/deleted/added various parts to make this a real noob friendly thread
Thanks to Kadan for his wonderfull Logo_builder tool.
Thanks to balamu96m for boot logo guide
Here is how MMX A110 [In fact most MTK devices] has their boot images arranged.
--> MMX A110 [MediaTek] android has three boot screens.
1) --1st one is just an image and it is present in logo.bin. [You can get it in downloaded MMX A110 Stock ROM zip file]
2) --The second screen is also an image named boot_logo. [You can get it in /system/media/images ]
3) --The third one is the boot animation. It is present in /system/media/ folder and it is of the same type of all android devices.
So we can summaries that boot imaging goes like this:
Power on device -> logo.bin -> boot_logo -> bootanimation.zip
Now, here is the guide to mod the boot images:
First of all you'll need following tools to perform the mod. Please download them.
LogoBuilder_v1.2.zip ( Here is the original Logo_Builder Thread to get the latest version. Now Logo_Builder supports boot_logo editing )
Image_Search_Editor.zip
Gif2BootAnimation.zip [If you want your own animation]
1) Changing the First image - logo.bin
1. Extract LogoBuilder_v1.1.zip .It'll give you a folder named "LogoBuilder"
2. Exicute LogoBuilder.exe (Just double click it)
3. Click "Create new Project" and locate your "logo.bin" file. [Which you've got from stock ROM zip file]
4. Select "logoproject" (present inside the LogoBuilder folder) as project folder.
5. Set the logo image size to 480x854
6. Now it will extract the images from the logo.bin file. [ In between if any error message appears just CLICK ignore....for all the image..there will be some 16 images ]
7. Go to logoproject folder, you'll see the default boot logo image will be present there. Just replace it with your new boot image [The image name should be " img1.png "]
8. Click Make
Troubleshoot: [If make button is grayed out just close the program and re open it, click "open existing project" and select logoproject as the project folder. Click make.
Done!
2) Changing the Second image - boot_logo
There are two methods to do that.
The easy one: (A Big Thanks to Kadan)
1. Get a copy of boot_logo from /system/media/images to your computer.
2. Find the latest version of LogoBuilder program
3. Unzip it....Run it ..... the rest is self explanatory.( tool is real easy to use )
OLD method (If nothing works try this.. ):
Get a copy of boot_logo from /system/media/images to your computer. Rename it to boot_logo.bin
1.Extract Image_Search_Editor.zip to a folder.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now open Image Search Editor.exe
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Select the file, boot_logo.bin to open.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now select 16 colors from the left side panel.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now click on the BMP button on the toolbar on the top.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now resize the image by clicking : Size --> 'Set Window Size'
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now resize the image to that of your phone's screen size/resolution (MMX A110 : 480x854)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now you should see the full default boot logo image appearing in the editor.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now, in Image Search Editor, select: Edit-->Replace by BMP. Select the bmp image that you saved.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now click Apply
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then, go to File-->Save as BIN. Save it.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Rename the newly saved .bin file to boot_logo.
Voila !!! The second screen is also changed !!!
So now you have with you a new logo.bin and boot_logo files.
3) Changing the Third image - bootanimation.zip
1) just download any boot animation you want OR you can create your own animation using Gif2BootAnimation.zip tool (Thanks to KADAN), which should have 480x854 resolution. Rename the zip file to bootanimation.zip (if it is not already named the same).
2) Create another copy of the bootanimatin.zip and rename it to shutanimation.zip
Now you have following 4 files with you:
logo.bin
boot-logo
bootanimatin.zip
shutanimation.zip
Creating a flash-able zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1. Download update_boot_images.zip file.
2. Open it in winrar and replace the alerady present files with the new ones that you've just created.
3. Copy it to your SD Card
4. Reboot to CWMR
5) Choose "install zip from sdcard" option
6) Select "choose zip from sdcard"
7) select update_boot_images.zip file
8) Reboot. Done!
IF you have any problem doing this just post it here.
I'll try my level best to resolve them.
Oh... how many mistakes...
First. It could be better if you put the link to the LogoBuilder thread with the new version of program.
> It has to be a .png image - No, it hasn't. Did you read the instructions?
Second. There is an easier way to create boot_logo now (it's LogoBuilder feature too)
Third. About animations. You sugest to take existing animation files, but there are many ways to edit or create it (for example, my other program Gif2Bootanimation)
And the last one. mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3", "/system"); will work only in your device.

Hello to everyone.
In this guide I will explain you How to Change the Boot Animation & Bootlogo of your phone by an easy and detailed step by step process.
So as the name suggests Bootlogo is the first slide that appears when you power on your phone and Boot Animation is the animation that play there after till the device if fully switched on.
THINGS NEEDED:-
1) A rooted phone.
2) Custom Recovery (CWM or TWRP)
3) Root Explorer App ( Available on Play Store )
NOTE - There are no particulars in case of bootlogos and boot animations, that means any particular bootlogo or boot animation will work on your device if its screen resolution is same as your phone's.
WORD OF CAUTION - Though the method is universal and works for everyone, If anything goes wrong and you brick your device, I am not to be held responsible. ( In case you soft brick your device, flashing the stock firmware on your device and then wiping the cache through recovery will fix it)
CHANGING THE BOOTLOGO :-
1) To change the bootlogo and then apply a custom one, first you need to select the bootlogo that suits you and download it's zip file. Various bootlogos are available on the internet and you will find the best ones in the XDA Themes and Apps forum. So head on to the forum and download the bootlogo zip file that suits you the most.
2) After downloading the zip file reboot your phone to recovery
3) Select 'install zip' in the recovery menu and then browse through your folders and select the bootlogo zip file. Install the zip.
BOOM! You have successfully changed your bootlogo. Reboot your phone to see the change.
CHANGING THE BOOT ANIMATION :-
Now changing this ain't as easy as changing the bootlogo since here the zip is not flashable.
1) As mentioned in the above process download the boot animation zip file that you like the most which you will again find in the XDA Themes and Apps forum.
2) After downloading the zip, open the Root Explorer App and head to the place where you have downloaded the boot animation.(If the file name is bootanimation.zip then for now rename it to something else)
3) Copy the zip file and paste it to system\media which is located in the internal memory of the phone. (You will see that there already exists a bootanimation.zip file which is the original boot animation of your phone)
4) Now rename the original boot animation file to something else and the one you downloaded to bootanimation.zip
5) After that long press the boot animation you downloaded and see the permissions. Make the following changes if it ain't already. Grant the read permission to all three I.e. owner, group and others and the write permission to owner only thus making the permissions as rw-r-r.
BAM! You successfully changed your boot animation. Reboot your phone to see the changes.
If you want some help or underwent a problem, feel free to comment.
Please hit the thanks button if I helped because just saying it won't do me any good.
Cheers!
Its simple
All you need to do is to flash some files and then you will have Mi- Pop
1# Download zip file(links are in a txt file which is in folder as zip )
2# And flash the zip that you will get
Reboot and done
If you don't have a flash image get this (its in a txt file in folder as zip) lewa recovery image for nokia x (recommended for nokia xl) and flash it with rasher or any other to whom you trust and after flashing the image it will reboot and lewa recovery will start. Then chose install , then chose zip file that you downloaded earlier wait for to finish and then reboot.
FaQ
Did i built any of these files?
Ans: no
All these files belong to you?
Ans: Not a single one
Who's files are these?
And: These files belongs to Dom (thnks)
Have you test it on some device?
Ans: Yes. On my nokia xl working perfectly.
Why nokia x flash image ?
And: Because i did it with it. But i prefer chose cmw recovery image specific for your mobile
And do it on your own risk. I am not responsible for any kind of demage.
Was it helpfull click thnksss and remember me in your prayers and its my first theat so there can be mistakes so help me to learn more and links are in txt because i am under 10 posts. Thats why i have to zip it
