Nice work. Do you have a flashable zip just for the transparent shade?

Bootloops, endless bootloops...
Edit: got it to work by inserting the .png into manups' theme and flashing it. Adb push pull method was a no go on fresh 3.1.

Here is a modded status_bar_close_on.9

Cool...glad you were able to use it.

awesome ass mod! what are the dimensions for this?

Nice work! I'm surprised this isn't getting more attention.

here is my version!

I tried this and got a boot loop. It would load all the way to the boot sequence then FC the framework. How can i modify without breaking the signature. I am on a mac, because i know everyone uses winrar on pc.

Some had posted a file and asked for the avenge sevenfold death bat to be put on.
I had done it but the posts were lost when the site was recovered a few days ago.
I cant remember who it was, but here it is.

Sorry I am not familiar with the process for MAC's.

I tried this with ninja morph and still didnt work. Can someone elaborate on the process maybe. I must be missing something somewhere.

How do I get rid of the "sprint" in the upper left of the notification bar?
Also, do I need to delete the original png?

Instructions on editing the sprint banner can be found here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=708419
To do this mod you wouldnt delete the original png...you need to replace it with the modded png file. I would make and save backup of the original on your local hard drive that way if you ever wanted to go back to stock or create a new banner with a different image you would have a copy of the non modified stock png to work with.

Thanks, I got the header and closer .png changed. Now to get rid of the pesky Sprint lettering.

Why can't they make equal apps for us? Right? :'(

when i do this procedure i get all kinds of force close errors. to the point of i have to do a nand restore. i edited a "status_bar_header_background.9.png" file from another theme. The .png image file is the same physical size, but the framework-res.apk file is now larger in size than the one i edited it from, does that have anything to do with it?

[BootAnimation] - Android Peeing on Apple

Here's the boot animation I created (attached). It's not a CWM flashable .zip, so you'll need to change the name to bootanimation.zip and either need to push it to /data/local through ADB, or use a File Explorer with root access to put in in /data/local (or if you're running a stock rooted ROM you'll need to rename it to ATT_Bootanimation.zip and put it in /system/customize/resource. It was just a .gif I found with a quick google search, and with the help of Wolf_2 finally got working properly. I take no credit for anything but putting it together as a boot animation

Original thread request:
OK, I'm trying to create my first boot animation, and so far have made some good progress, but now I'm stuck. I found an animated .gif of the Android Robot peeing on an Apple, and ripped the photos out of it, and made them .png files. I kept the file structure, created my new .zip following the guide here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942976), replaced bootanimation.zip in data/local, and changed permissions. Now when I boot up I see the HTC screen for about 15 seconds, then it goes to my animation just like it should, however here's my problem...
My animation consists of 17 images, and it flies through these images in about 5 seconds, then just sits on the last image. How can I either slow this animation down, or get it to keep looping? Here's what's in my desc.txt:
480 800 15p 1 1 android
I tried changing the second 1 to a 0 (as I saw somewhere else this would cause it to loop infinitely), but it didn't. Any ideas??

The 15 in your text stands for 15 fps, so with only 17 images to display it is going to fly through it. You should create more frames. You could also make the second folder for the loop, having a part0 and part1 folder in your zipped folder. The part0 folder would be the play through and the part1 folder would contain the loop. I have included my text document so that you can see the way I did it. I have also provided a link to a thread that helped me understand what needed to be done.

OK, I'll play around with the part0 and part1 folders. I left it the way it was when I pulled it and it only had an android folder, so I didn't know if this would be necessary or not. Thanks for the references!
Edit: You are awesome. I left part0 folder empty and put all my .png pics in part1, used your desc.txt exactly as it was, and it's doing exactly what I want it to! That was kind of fun, and now I can watch the MAC Apple getting peed on by the Android Robot when I start my phone. I've attached it if anyone's interested. I am not the artist, I found the animated .gif online, so no credit to me for that
Now - next question. If I put a different series of pictures in part 0, will this replace the HTC screen I see, or just create an additional boot image?

It will just create the boot animation. I am still trying to figure out where that HTC screen is located so that I can get rid of it or change it. As a note, just remember that the numbering sequence in the second folder has to continue from where the first folder left off. As an example, if the frames in the first folder finish with 00030, then the second folder would start with 00031 and continue. Glad that helped you.

If it's anything like the Captivate the HTC screen is in the kernel You'll have to decompile it.

Irs421: "If it's anything like the Captivate the HTC screen is in the kernel You'll have to decompile it."
I know it's hiding somewhere. TPC and I started working on themes, so since everything has been taken apart he or I will probably come across it eventually.

If you find out I would like to know to, so I can make a matching black htc splash screen. I know some one flashed it as an img through adb. Is there a way to see where exactly it is pushing it to?

I am not sure since I did not know about that adb push. I want to get rid of that screen also. When I find it I will let you know. There is just so much to go through and test. It's going to take a while.

You can use Android Flasher to replace the boot image, it's a really simple one click method.

Nice work, I turned your bootanimation into a downanimation. I optimized the graphics for a 480 x 800 screen and set it up to run through the complete shutdown. Do you mind if I post it? I will be sure to give you credit for creating the original.

[HOW-TO][30 July] Change the White HTC Splash image to what you want.

Thanks to NikonElite for the help and show-p1984 for the sick splash screen.
Feel free to post your splash images and pictures you like! The more the better!
Like you, i know you don't like that ugly white HTC screen. Let's change that shall we? You are going to need a few things though, and yes you will need s-off for this to work:
1. Adb drivers and fastboot set up properly, which you should already since you have s-off.
2. nbimg from here for windows users or here for linux users.
the image you want as your splash screen in BMP format.
The image size you want is 540x960 since that is our image size.
Once you have everything set up and ready to go with the prerequisites i showed before hand, this is what you need to do.
Go into terminal and do
nbimg -F nameofimg.bmp -w 540 -h 960 and yes its case sensitive so make sure that F in the command is capital or it wont work.
Let it do its thing then it should make another picture called
nameofimg.bmp.n0 or something of that sort in the directory where the original image is. Rename it and change the extension to .img
So mines was splash.img.
now that the image is done, lets flash it shall we?
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash splash1 nameofimg.img
then voila you are finished.
Image i used:
http://rserver8.de/splash1.bmp

Thanks for the guide. One question though: what does the nbimg program actually do? Never heard of an image format called nb before. Had a quick look at the thread were to download from but did not understand anyway what is going on..
On the Desire it was possible to flash the bmp directly as long as you used a specific type of bmp format (which I cannot remember right now).

no, you cant as you flash into a partition on the phone it needs to be done via fastboot

if you use nbimg like this
nbimg.exe -w 540 -h 960 -F splash1.bmp | rename .bmp to .img
it also renames it for you...what this nbimg does it make it to the correct format for your phone to read and display.
oh and the bmp format i believe was only 16bit of 24bit..i think
and you could just rename to .img ... that would work but this is a surefire method.

I should note that my htc galaxy I got from a thread on here a long time ago for my Desire HD, i simply resized it for the Sensation and changed it to an .img

I used to do this for my G2 but instead I used the program FFmpeg to resize and reformat straight to .img form. here's the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834267
I was wondering if anyone knew the program well enough and could tell me if this program can be used for the sensation since it goes straight to .img (using the sensation's dimensions as opposed to the G2's, of course).

I can only help with this, as thats what ive used in the past - but i dont see why it wouldn't work.

This is my splash. Maybe someone would like it.

I think we should have lots of people post, i assume i can convert the HD wallpapers and use them... if so ill post the converted ones i make, WHICH I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR other then converting file type..

as long as they are resized to the correct resolution your all good.
you make it easy but already converting them to .img for everyone

The main bit is the convert...and hopefully some people on this thread will already do that for you if you have an image at the correct size...
make .bmp at correct resolution
convert to .img
flash using fastboot command.
The current tools that enable you to flash dont support this resolution size

[Splash Screens](Updated 02/06/2012)Diablo67's Splash Screens 4 EVO

Hey guys,i have decided to create splash screens,so i figured i would post a few,let you guys get the idea and then let you guys request the rest.
If any rom developers want splash screens made for your roms,just pm me with the requested rom and text you would like me to input.
I have tested everyone of these splashes and they all work 100%.You have to be rooted to install these on your phone.
I had a few requests to post the method i use to create splash screens,so here we go..
Splash screen tutorial:
Before you attempt to use this tool, please note that conversion from bitmap to splash screen image as well as flashing the resulting image works with any Android device with any screen resolution but conversion of a splash screen image file into a bitmap works only with images for device having a screen resolution of 480 x 800 pixels.
Also note that to be able to flash a custom splash screen, your phone must be fully rooted and must have an unlocked bootloader.
Using the script is very simple and anyone should be able to do so by following these simple instructions.
Convert and flash splash screen to your device from bitmap file
1.Download Splash Screen Creator from the link given below and extract the contents of the zip file to a folder on your computer.
2.Put the bitmap file (with .bmp extension) that you want to convert into a splash screen and flash to your device, into the same folder as the files extracted in Step 1. Make absolutely sure that the resolution of the bitmap file is exactly the same as the screen resolution of your device.
3.Name the bitmap file ‘SPLASH.BMP’. Any other name will not work.
4.Connect your device to your computer via USB and make sure it is properly recognized by the computer i.e. its drivers are installed.
5.From the files extracted in Step 1, run the ‘RUN THIS ONE.bat’ file by double-clicking on it. You will see the following window
{
"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_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
6.In the DOS window, enter ‘1’. It will convert the bitmap to a splash screen image file.
7.Once the conversion is done, the script will ask you if you want to flash the image to your phone as well. If you want to do so, press 1 and wait patiently while it is flashed. If you just wanted the converted splash screen image, press 2 here and the script will end.
8.Do NOT unplug your phone from your computer while the image is being flashed.
9.Once the image has been flashed, you may close the script.
Convert splash screen file into bitmap file
1.Download Splash Screen Creator from the link given below and extract the contents of the zip file to a folder on your computer.
2.Put the SPLASH.IMG splash screen image file that you want to convert into a bitmap, into the same folder as the files extracted in Step 1. Make absolutely sure that the image is 480 x 800 pixels.
3.From the files extracted in Step 1, run the ‘RUN THIS ONE.bat’ file by double-clicking on it.
4.In the DOS window, enter ‘2’. It will convert the SPLASH.IMG file into a SPLASH.BMP.
5.Once the conversion is done, you may use the SPLASH.BMP file in any way, edit it the way you want and then convert it back into SPLASH.IMG and flash it to your device using the above method.
Original Thread
Splash Screen Creator
You can download the stock splash from below as an attached file.
Instructions:
1)Download the splash screen that you desire.
2)Copy the splash screen(PC36IMG.zip,it has to be named to this!)to the root(first level of the sd cards folder)of your SD card.
3)Power off your phone,wait 10 seconds,then hold the volume rocker in the down position and power on,you will boot into Hboot.(If you have the multi power mod,then you can skip this step and go straight to Hboot from home screen).
4)When in Hboot,wait for Hboot to load,it takes a second,when loaded,it will ask you if you want to install the update,push the volume rocker in the up position to install the update(splash screen).(sometimes when you boot into Hboot it will be in fastboot mode,just scroll to Hboot if it already is'nt there and hit the power button to boot into Hboot).
5)It will then ask if you want to reboot,hold up on the volume rocker to reboot your phone back to your home screen.(on your way back,check out your new splash screen).
6)Once back in your phone,go to a file explorer of your choice and go to the root of your sd card and remove the PC36IMG file,so it does'nt try to update the next time you boot into Hboot.
Disclaimer:I am not responsible for what happens to your phone after you download this file.I posted detailed instructions to install a splash screen,theres no reason for you to brick your phone.

The screens seem awefully skewed and stretched. If you create the image at the dimensions necessary for the splash screen then it won't skew like that. Seems like you created this images at a different dimension and then changed them. Hrm..

Look dude i think i know the dimensions,maybe its your brain.The screenshots from the host was scaled down so the smaller you go,the crisper the image becomes.

If you have any requests,just post the pic and the font and text wanted in the splash and ill upload it for you.

Think he just means that since you are using some outside images that they should fit. Doesn't take much to resize. I think that's what he means. Some don't look right, that's all. No biggie.
Anywho. Good look on the collection.

Sorry for the delayed response. I wasn't referring to the actual dimensions of the splash screens. I was referring to the objects in the splash screen, i guess they seem a little skewed. If you are re-sizing images on separate layers try holding shift while re-sizing (assuming you are using Photoshop). It will keep the correct dimensions.
Sorry if I seemed like I was giving you an attitude, I appreciate the work that you do!

The splash screens are looking good! I've tried out a couple but like the fourth the best.

[Q] New Boot Logo/Splash Screen Without NvFlash?

Is there a way to change that ugly ASUS boot splash logo screen whatever you wanna call it thingy? I'm sbkv2 so no nvflash.. but I'm rooted. Is there a file somewhere in /system/ that I can replace? Or?
Thanks for any help/guidance.

Not possible then?

To the best of my knowledge, you don't need nvflash to change the boot animation. Just get a new one, rename it to bootanimation.zip and place it in /data/local. Someone correct me if i'm wrong.

I think he's talking about the splash screen, the one that appear before the bootanimation.

He is correct, I mean the splash screen,

I know it's gotta be possible! I just can't find an image in /system anywhere

The splash screen is in the bootloader/EBT. You can mod it and flash it through the staging partition. Whirly eyes has a thread in the dev section. I think it's much easier with nvflash since you can test it before writing it.

Thanks, I'll look for the thread, so I can do this with Sbkv2?

It should be possible, but I've never done it.

How would I go about flashing the new blob with the boot screen without NvFlash though, I have cwm I'm just a tad unsure and don't want to be accidentally flashing over something important... Thanks for the help

You can pack up just the EBT partition as a blob and flash it through the staging partition. It will only overwrite your recovery if you include an SOS partition in the blob. The relevant threads are in the dev section.
sent from my transformer

Awesome, so I can just flash certain sections, doesn't have to be all. Thanks for the help!

Okay, as far as which source to download, does it matter? Since I can't use NvFlash to extract mine I want to be extra careful.
I'm running AOKP Build 35 with Guevor v20 kernel or TestyMehIcs kernel.

I have a blob with just the EBT and the new screen made. It just says blob (not .EBT)
If I make this into a .zip and flash it, will it overwrite EVERYTHING or just .ebt? This is very important :/ I can't nvflash a brick and really want this to be clear. Should I rename it?

First off, there are no guarantees! As you said, without nvflash, you're screwed if you make a mistake, and it will be a real brick, not one of those, "help I turned off my tablet and I think it's bricked!"-type threads.
How did you pack the blob?
blobpack your_blob EBT blob_mod.EBT
You don't need to pack it up as a zip, you can just flash it through the staging partition. Not to sound condescending, but be sure you know what you are doing because the consequences are real. I truly think that it's great that you are heading down the Android! journey.
EDIT: I think I see where the confusion is coming from- most people think of the splash screen as the bootanimation. In this case, the splash screen is the Asus/nvidia logos without the spinning balls. If you change the bootanimation.zip, you will still see the splash screen.

Gah this is incredibly scary, damn Asus making Sbkv2 -_-!!
Sofar I havn't packed with blobpack, I've just used that spash image creator gui pointed to EBT then save as blob.
What I've done to this point:
Downloaded BlobTools.
Downloaded Latest .24 US
Unzip, Unzip, Copy blob
Use Blob unpack on blob
I did NOT get a blob.header for whatever reason? Or am I misreading something?
Found blob.ebt
Used This: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232410&highlight=splash Splash screen patcher to open it.
Patched
Save as blob
I have a blob with no extention.
Did I do anything wrong? Now what?
Thanks!
Edit: Also the filesize of the blob before the patch and after is exactly the same. 1421KB

file extensions are a false indicator- what matters is the data format inside. A properly packed blob will start with msm-radio update, some blank space, and then some hex and text that indicates partitions and their size that are included in the blob. Take some blobs apart and see what's inside of them. Get a calculator and check the file sizes of the blobs inside. Then repack them to see if you get the same thing/order.

This is a screen of the EBT blob that was saved by the app, MSM-Radio-Update, some 0s, then a whole lot of gibberish.

That looks like a packed blob. I guess whirly eye's program packs it up for flashing. Notice the EBT part in the second line, and the fact that there aren't any other partitions like SOS, LNX, or APP.
sent while running with scissors

I unpacked just the EBT blob that I unpacked with blobunpack and opened it with his patcher then edited. Should be fine then I hope, if nothing messed up.
Scrolling through the rest, it just looks like EBT, I saw whirleyes left a watermark in quotes about the patcher before the image, and a section with the display text "cold-booting linux, unsupported bootloader, error, wipe data" (The options stuff) rest was blank or gibberish.
Is this primed to flash then? You said to flash through the staging partition, how would I go about this in Cmw Rouge xm recovery, do I need to pack a .zip, or what is the command to run?
Thanks majorly for all the help!
