Custom initial boot splash screens in full 480x640 - 2nd Round Posted

Using the tools and info from pfcsabre and the below link I created some initial splash screen .nbh files. This replaces the very first picture you see when you turn on your phone and displays your radio version and such. If you want to make your own use this link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436105
Since I spent a little bit of time making these files and other files I haven't uploaded yet, I figured I would share them. I will probably upload more later.
Instructions: - Make sure your phone is Hard-SPL
1. Download the RaphaelCustomRUU.zip and unzip it to the RaphaelCustomRUU.exe file.
2. Download one of the Splash.zip files and unzip it to the same folder as the RaphaelCustomRUU.exe file (Make sure there is only 1 .nbh file in the same folder as the .exe,,, if you download multiple splashes put them in a subfolder)
3. Connect your phone to your PC and Run the RaphaelCustomRUU.exe file and follow the prompts. Its the exact same method as burning a ROM, but these files only replace the Splash screen and nothing else.
4. It will take about 20-30 seconds to burn and your phone will reboot displaying the pics in full 480*640 resolution.
5. These look incredible when you first boot up your phone.

4 more boot splash screens are done. I will upload them tomorrow. My new favorite is a sweet looking Transformers Decepticons Logo.

Jstar

I just overwrite the image to what the default boot screen was. (You can find out what the original filename was somewhere in Advanced Config)

This process changes the 1st boot screen, the one with the red letters in the lower right corner. It cannot be done within Windows by overwriting a file, it must be burnt in. When turning on your phone you can have up to 4 pictures, This boot screen process, follow by up to 2 splash screens (usually windows & operator splashes), then your wallpaper.

Boot logo

Does anyone know where the boot logo and animation is located

not sure where but i did come across it many times.
Just instal Astro onto your device, and browse the root of the device and you will come across a BootAnimation.zip. Inside contains the png's for the animation.

the boot logo (non animated) is stored on splash1.
Here it is:
{
"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"
}
The animation is stored in /system/media/bootanimation.zip. Its a series of images in a zip file.
You can get it by using the command:
Code:
adb pull /system/media/bootanimation.zip C:/bootanimation.zip

system\media\bootanimation.zip
do a adb pull /system/media/bootanimation.zip xxx.zip and unzip.
You'll see the 2 sets of PNGs.

What are the permissions for bootanimation.zip if they were left open to non root then this may-b a way to get root with unlocking the bootloader. This would be the same approach that was used to root the behold 2 where the "try3" file was renamed to play_logo . play_logo then was used to root and after root was opened it would make play_logo_real play which was the boot animation. I may be wrong but couldnt this be a possibility. Thanks.

how is it possible to unlock splash1 and safe the old picture
and then flash a new one

Made an extremely simple quick bacon boot-"animation". Just a static bacon image, but looks kinda cool...
http://karlerik.mine.nu:88/android/baconboot.zip
Might try to add some animation later...

yep, you need to be aware that default splash screens do not replace the second splash screen, nor even does flashing a whole stock rom, USB or SD card. I had to send my phone back to O2, and ended up taking an o2 splash and creating a 2nd splash screen from that to make it look like it was all one o2 splashscreen.
I tested with several stock roms, both usb and sd card, and none of them removed my custom second splash screen.

Splash screen collection: Evo 4G

UPDATE: You just need to rename the ****PC36IMG.zip to just PC36IMG.zip and then push to the root of your sdcard and boot into Hboot and it will flash.

I figured I would start the thread with the splash screens I make and I would love to do any requests for people. Just post an image that you want me to create into a splash screen or tell me what you want and I'll see if I can do it. I'm not very good in paint.net or photoshop yet but I can try my best (or have my adobe certified brother do it for me lol)
Anyway, here is the link to the archive and the batch file inside flashes the image for you. If anyone who knows how wants to create a pc36img zip for it, you're welcome to and I'll add it to the main post.

HTC and CIQ Quietly watching you.
This is the second splash screen that I made and since I remember the CIQ issues everyone has, I figured I would take a shot at it.
Same thing as before, just use the batch script until I figure out how to make a PC36IMG.zip
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15069134/CIQ&HTC.rar
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Iphone Joke
same rules as above for flashing. Just unzip folder and run the batch file.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15069134/Iphonejoke.zip
update: here is the PC36IMG.zip file for it remove the Iphone from the name.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Warm Synergy
Alright, for the auto-flashing without manually going into bootloader, follow the same instructions as before
for flashing to via bootloader name "warmPC36IMG.zip" to PC36IMG.zip and boot into bootloader and it will automatically flash.
Download for normal zip to flash automatically: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15069134/Warm Synergy.zip
Download for PC36IMG: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15069134/warmPC36IMG.zip

Shooter Rom
Same way to install as above
Auto install link: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15069134/Shooter.zip
PC36IMG install: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15069134/ShotPC36IMG.zip

Here is the Android Sauce one. Did not try to flash it myself, but should work fine. Obviously just rename to PC36IMG.zip and flash through bootloader.

Thanks for posting that, I'll try flashing it

No problem, let me know.

Worked fine and I just found out that I only had to change the name to Splash1.img

I am a noob at this stuff but I just used the tutorial here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146515 so not sure if it's as easy as just renaming the image.

Awesome! I remember when i first tried doing this it almost bricked my phone hehe

[MOD/THEME]Off Screen Charging MOD

Before We Start
Disclamer:​
By doing his to your phone you take full responsibility to whatever happens on your device. The developer will NOT be held responsible to whatever happens on your device. Of course, this has been tested but whatever happens on your device will not be held against the developer.
Now to the good stuff
Today I Will Show You How To Modify The Off Screen Charging Images To Your Liking
Things you will need :​
[*]M8 Duh
[*]Computer With Fastboot
[*]A Photo Editor
[*]A Tool To Unpack Recovery.img's
[*]About 10 to 30min of your time
Common Sense
So Lets Get Started​First Decompile Your IMG I will Be Using This To Decompile My IMG
if your using the same tool as me then drag and drop the img on unpack.bat as seen in the picture
next navigate​ramdisk
res
offmode_charging_images
this is where we will be doing our modifying :laugh:
Now that you have your img decompiled and your in the offmode_charging_images folder
open up your fave image editor I will be using gimp(because its free and im broke lol)
key things here I kept my images at stock depth 600x362 I did not go any higher as I would think it would mess up you can try your self if you can go higher tell ME!!!
Now if you made pngs the format go's like this 0,1,2,3,4 the rest 5,6,7,8 and 9 just loop the first ones so just copy them and rename if you did not make new pngs just overwrite them
once your done messing with the pngs repack the imgs with the unpackimg.bat
now take image-new.img and put it in your fastboot folder and flash it with fastboot
Code:
flash recovery image-new.img
*NOTE* check to see if you can get in to recovery after flashing your new one
if not you messed up some where​
now power down your device and plug it in if you see your new modified images congrats
