Splash screen?

I really want this splash screen but also dont feel like turning m,y phone into a paperweight. can we use the custom splash screens?

You can do it, but I wouldn't use the insturctions he has there. I have another thread somewhere that has path names that you could push that file to. Then you can edit the boot.xml file and add the new file name. Its not very difficult and it probably won't brick you. I did however mess mine up and had to RUU when I was messing around with it. Still not sure what happened there.

The XML that controls the boot screen is not the Binary XML that's in the APK's and Manifest files. It's actually readable.

here ya go it takes a while on first boot.
Edit: Guess should of put a little info up. This is just a boot screen. It has all the normal boot screens with the droid peeing on the apple as the last one. It's a signed zip file just download put on root of sd card,boot into recovery,flash like any other. Will work on 1.5 not sure on 2.1.
Here's the right color green droid.

It's a boot screen.

I appreciate the bootscreen but I am wondering if we can actually change the splash screen (then one that shows HTC before the bootscreen starts up) or if the GSM hero just got lucky with hacking theirs.

I know they have an unlocked SPL by MoDaCo or Cyanogen that allows commands to change splash screens. If we booted into fastboot and tried it, our phones would turn into $180 paperweights.

here is another image if anyone wants it for there wallpaper

Hey man I dont mean to be picky and im not the OP. But is there anyway to use a different image? The android pissing on apple is great but the android character is not green for some reason. The original link in the OP has a green guy.
Sorry if im being fussy
And just making sure its not my setup, did you make it to have the original hero animation, nexus, and the splash screen?

[Q] Cyanogen Boot Screen

I have recently rooted my Nexus S, and I want to flash the latest version of cyanogenmod. The only thing is I want to keep my bootscreen stock. Can anyone tell me how to do this. I need the easiest way and i am using am mac if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance.

you could install CM and then flash the stock boot screen animation over it,
Or you could create your own custom CM build with the stock boot animation

Then google or search the forum. Not sure if the Nexus S works like other phones but you normally would.....
You would first have to find the Nexus One bootanimation.zip (they're the same)
Place it in one of the system folders /system/media/
Reboot and see if it works.

^^ some don't need to be flashed... some do
it depends on the ROM, the method I posted above would probably not do any harm. If it works, it works.. if it doesn't then nothing will change.
Again, I'm not responsible for anything that happens to your phone. Just passing the message by.

[Kernel] Stock (insecure-disable write protection)

For s-off/unlocked users.
This will remove write protection and allow for /system read/write. After flashing you will no longer need to keep weaksauce installed as system changes will persist after reboot! I dumped this boot image from one of my M8's and tested it on another. This will allow you to install such things as boot animations and busy box etc...
flash from fastboot using
fastboot flash boot M8VZWbootInsecure.img

His original thread on the module can be located on here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701816

What's the need for this? /system changes already stick after multiple hard reboots
EDIT: this is assuming you have run firewater, have s-off/unlocked, and have SuperSU installed/updated as a system app.

As we found with the M7 and htc one max not all changes will stick... so using flar2's module gets us around that...
I had to use this in the past for such things as hacking the stock tether etc...

installing boot animation with rom toolbox now sticks :highfive:

Thanks alot man! Alot easier than horsing around with the kernel module. This just makes it easy as pie. Thanks alot

Anyway to verify it worked? I did the easy instructions and cmd prompt did it's thing and said successful with how many seconds it took and all. Guess what i mean is there any certain root apps/tweaks that didn't work before this and now work with this?
Maybe a quick list of tweaks/apps that now work because of this kernal tweak?

I have messed up real nasty.

I flashed userdata, and it wiped everything as expected.
But I didn't have a ROM installed. So I'm OSless and there is no OS on the internal SD card anymore.
What do I do in this situation?

That's because you've not got adb/fastboot in your System Path. You'll need to extract the image to your fastboot folder and then run the flash-all.bat file again

Unfortunately, toolkits and "soft-bricks" are the reason for 90% of threads in Q&A, and the occasional few placed in incorrect sections.

I used TWRP v2.8
I had to wait (in recovery mode) until the screen goes off, turn it on without touching the screen, wait until it goes off one more time then turn on the screen before TWRP responds to my touches. [emoji28]
Of course, the first thing I did was changing screen on time from 60s to 15s.

Thank you. Which D820 do you got? The last time i tried several twrp recoveries and tools for the D820 but none of them worked. I really would like to root my phone. Unrooted feels unright haha.
I got the D820 single sim with Snapdragon 615 octa core processor and 2gb ram.
Thanks in advice
