[Q] Change boot logo (not animation)

is there a way to change the boot logo (a stupid motorola icon) on the A2? I have seen the option in rom toolbox, but not for our device.

not impossible, but very hard
I have HTC Desire, and i wanted to drop the white HTC logo in favour of a black background variant.
long story short it was really REALLY hard, it requires FULL root. (ROOT AND S-OFF)
I wouldn't recommend trying it unless your very happy to delve into the darker parts of android customisation.

I am rooted and on a custom rom, but the A2 bootloader is locked so i'm not sure i can s-off, so i don't think this will work

It is fully possible to do it without unlocking the bootloader. I have messed around with it and managed to turn the stock logo into a .bmp image but not vice versa. However that was all based off of information for the Atrix 4G and Photon because I was being stupid and didn't think about googling "droid bionic/droid 3/droid razr/droid 4 boot logo change."
So here it is for the Bionic. I haven't tried it but I bet it will work (for making the logo.bin, then flash it using FASTBOOT).

Got it
Awesome thanks so much I figured it out. if anyone wants it here is what I came up with!

that is how it will look on the screen. the attached bin file will look different on the computer. Anyone doing this should follow the instructions in the last post for creating it, as I did. than boot into fastboot and
Code:
fastboot flash logo.bin logo.bin
works perfectly. bin file to flash if you want mine: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yye2cnbezuwwxcu/logo.bin

twrp is asking for a password and my tablet is stuck in boot loop

Just hit cancel for Twrp password. Also this may have the same issue as the other root tool, if you aren't flashing a rom after unlock and root you must clear data in Twrp. There are threads around here about it, in general I believe. Try booting back into bootloader then Twrp and wipe data, see if it boots. I fixed mine this way. If not there is a restore dead nexus 1 click in the development forum that'll get you up and running again.

Good to hear. I think more instructions should be in the op, like the data wipe If not flashing a custom rom.

no it saying I have to manually reroot because super user has no binaries so Im not rooted

Either try update the binaries or grab the su. Zip from the manual root thread and flash in twrp

oh, sorry about that, this tool is an alpha(do not have the device but has been tested) as for the bootloop part the program asks you if your stuck in a bootloop then directs you to a thread that fixes that as these are 2 different processes.
this tool is classed as development, and the unbrick process is part of trouble shooting and help!

Tool Not Available
Hi,
Checked Mega and it says that the tool has been removed. Is there any other link to download this tool.
Thanks.

There is no root necessary?

You need a recovery to flash, so you must be at least unlocked with custom recovery.

Yes I am. I don't want to do some stuff that I dont have any knowledge.
If its possible that I only have to instal it with TWRP, thats easy. But root and stuff. The last time I did it with my One S, it went wrong.

Unlocked Bootloader, just a few questions.

ok so i finally decided to unlock the bootloader via sunshine app, it all went successfully even though the phone didnt restart itself, i had to manually restart it. i am right now on 4.4.4 rooted with 4.4 safestrap recovery. anything you guys recommend me doing as far as the goodies... like new custom rom, kernels etc? first time i unlock a bootloader so just gathering some ideas of where to start tinkering.

I just downloaded and when I flash in recovery, it says that it cannot open. Going to try to redownload and flash again
Found my issue, I was trying to use es file to download and it wasn't working that way. Used chrome to download and all is good now

How can we enable center clock mod again?

Enjoying the theme so far, only one thing about it bugs me. Instead of seeing Verizon Wireless on my lock screen, I see T-CDMA 64. Anyone know how to change that

Theme works well on DH 1/21 build on M8 Verizon, including "Verizon Wireless" appearing on lock screen.

Before I applied the theme, it said Verizon but now it does this:

Sprint User report:
Looks wonderful, but as other have reported, the carrier indicator reads "Roaming Indication ON" instead of Sprint. Otherwise no issues.
