[Q] MOTO M Logo

I have managed to replace the bootanimation (using instructions in this forum) but the M logo (which is a red one for me - froyo 2.2.2) is still the same.
is this logo replaceable? and how?

that's not bootanimation.zip
bootanimation is after that moto logo.

I have figured it out already. but how to change it?

it's part of the locked bootloader.. if you unpack the SBF and look closely maybe you'll find it somewhere, but you can't change it anyways.

It's possible to change it since Barebones use a different logo (still motorola) from the others ROM's, but i don't know how.

You need to build the logo.bin IMAGE, which contain the logo PICTURE.
Please note, "image" and "picture" have different meaning in this case.
Google a bit, "build logo.bin android".
Then you need to build a flashable zip, place the logo.bin in the root of your zip, then in the updater-script you'll put some code to verify, extract and write the logo.bin raw image:
Code:
assert(package_extract_file("logo.bin", "/tmp/logo.bin),
write_raw_image("/tmp/logo.bin", "logo.bin"),
delete("/tmp/logo.bin"));
Don't forget to sign your zip file. My advice, if you can live with the M logo, just leave it alone!

Motorola Defy Custom boot logo change method..
sorry bad english..

thnx guys, though with every thread some new qestion arises:
How to create a flashable zip file? and How to sign it?
I can live with the the M, however if I change it, my life would be easier!

Generating your update.zip:
- get a update.zip from this forum which is already done.
- Don't extract it, just open it in your favourit zip-tool
- delete all files and folders EXCEPT: META-INF and the suobfolders/subfiles
- place your logo.bin in the root of the zip file
- browse to the META-INF\com\google\android folder
- open the update-script file in a texteditor
- delete all
- place the script xdaid postet above in the file and save it back INTO the zip-file
- rename the whole zip-file to update_unsigned.zip
Sign a update.zip:
- get this: http://www.4shared.com/file/W39CZ9nv/SignApk.html
- extract
- place your update_unsigned.zip in the same folder
- go to the commandline
- browse to that folder
- type the following command:
java -jar signapk.jar certificate.pem key.pk8 update_unsigned.zip update.zip
you'll get a new file called: update.zip and it is signed. You need to sign a zip file each time you'll change the contents. So hopefully your defy still starts after flashing...if not, you can easily fix it with a fixed sbf of your current system.
Tell us if it works

will try it and report back, thnx guys

[Q] Removing Boot Logo/Slash Screen

How do I remove the boot logo or splash screen? I am not sure the proper term for it.
When I turn my phone on I see the standard logo followed by another lg logo which came with the rom I installed. These two logos seem to be delaying my custom boot animation. The boot animation only gets half way before going to the lock screen.
tldr; How do I remove the splash screens that come before the boot animation?
Love you xda you are are amazing.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=753788 Go to this link

I would like to completely remove the splash screens not change them. The splash screens seem to be delaying the start of my bootanimation.

Yes ofcourse! System is preparing to extract bootanimation.zip!!
If you change the 'splash' to the first frame of your bootanim it will be the best thing for you!

I am referring to an image that is appearing which is separate from the boot animation. I want to disable that image.

Ya, that makes sense. But I'm referring to the second splash screen which seems to be ROM specific.
Sent from my LG-VM670

you'll have to split the boot.img, remove the file initlogo.rle from the ramdisk (that's the second splash,) and recombine the boot.img
not for the faint of heart.

Open framework-res.apk. Look in assets\images. Those are the bootscreen images. If you wish to turn off the animation you'll have to edit the corresponding .xml (I don't remember off hand what or where it is). This will require you to decompile framework-res.apk edit and recompile.
Or like others have said use a bootanimation.zip with a static image, like in devoid froyo.

Even if i use a bootanimation with a static image the other splash screen will appear. Thanks for the info it should help point me in the right direction. I was looking at init.rc, initimage.rle or something along those lines.

The first bootscreen is in boot.img the second is in framework-res.apk.

Would boot.img be the location of the ROM specific splash screen?
I technically have 3 boot type things.
lg boot logo
rom specific boot logo
bootanimation
The bootanimation is easy enough to change. Where is the first one located? You said the second is in boot.img correct?

the first silver lg is supposed to be in the 'splash' MTD partition (mtd3 on the Optimus V,) but I couldn't ever get it to flash anything different with fastboot, or get its contents with dump_image either.

There is another one after that they came with my ROM is that on boot.img and how do I disable it?

Can this be done from with in windows? The guides I have found on messing with boot.img use linux commands for messing with the ramdisk.

I've read you can use cygwin to do linux stuff on windows without a virtual machine.
It's fun to set up, though. I used it some years ago for something or another.
Only use windoze for phone PSTs anymore... can't help you much.

Boot logo location?

Hello, I just want to know where is the boot logo (not the boot animation) file locate in the root since I can find the boot animation in /system/media/ but I can't find the boot logo which is single image and not am animation. I just want to have an opportunity to change it to make the device virtually "fully customized." Thanks :beer:

Usually in the kernel.
EDIT:
Some devices even have separate partitions for the "splash image" or "boot image"

Hes not asking about the boot animation. Hes asking about the splash image. Usually the first image displayed when turning on a device.

This might help https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/guide-how-to-create-custom-boot-logo-t3470473
For my EXYNOS samsung s7 edge the boot logo was in a file called PARAM under /dev/block/platform/155a0000.ufs/by-name/.
I opened the file with winrar and found the bootlogo there. Pretty sure other devices especially snapdragon variants wont be the same.
If not, try to look for a working custom bootlogo for your device, and look for update-binary in the zip and open it with a text editor you might find what you need to know there.
Hope this helps.

[MOD] Customize your Boot Splash + ZIPs in Post#2 + Online Splash Zip Generator

You can generate your own custom boot splash! (You must be S-Off!)
(This is the first picture you see when you boot up your device, before the boot animation starts. The one you also see before booting into recovery.)
How to do it:
Upload a picture to the online boot splash zip generator (http://jobiwan.net:81/bootsplash-m8). (If your picture is not 1080x1920 it will be resized without retaining proportions.)
It generates and downloads a flashable .zip file,
Flash the resulting .zip file in recovery.
Disclaimer:
You have unlocked and rooted your device, flashed custom recoveries, and turned it S-Off, so by now you should know that you have nobody to blame but yourself.
Anyway: This tool is provided as is, with no warranty whatsoever. If you brick your device, I will feel sad for you but I will not be responsible.
Some context:
A while ago I made this tool for the One S Ville. It was the result of mapping out all the partitions and figuring out hboots. See this thread. (Don't flash the zips from that thread on your M8!)
Since then, I have added support for the One M7, it turned out that the .zip files for the Ville are also good for the Ville C2, and I added support for the Desire X.
Now I also added support for the One M8. It is the same as the M7 except for the partition number.
Thanks to @Sneakyghost for testing this version of the online generator.
Also, I did not do the research myself. It was already mapped. Sneaky told me the partition number.
How it works:
On the One M8, partition 12 (/dev/block/mmcblk0p12) contains the boot splash.
The first 4050kB, 4147200 bytes (1080 x 1920 x 2), are raw RGB565 bitmap data.
On boot, this data gets copied into the frame buffer. We can put anything in there.
The boot splash generator resizes your image to 1080x1920 and then converts it to raw 16 bit RGB data.
It then puts the result into a recovery-flashable .zip file. When run on the phone in recovery, it unpacks the raw image file and copies it into partition 12.
Back to stock:
The attached .zip files are recovery flashable. They contain the stock boot splashes. (I took a .zip from the generator and replaced the splash image with the images from extracted RUUs.) So if you ever want the stock splash back, you can flash this. Running a RUU will also flash the stock splash back.
Share & Enjoy!
If you create any cool splashes, that others might like, please post them in this thread with a pictures and zips.

Some splashes that people posted in this thread
These are some splashes that people have posted in this thread: (Images link to zips.)

So was going to ask for this but don't have s-off so didn't ask you about it.

Hey buddy thanks for doing this for us. I also appreciate your permission to put your generator in a frame on venomroms.com - cool gimmick! We do love your work mate. Makes stuff very easy.
Just another warning for those who overread it in the first post: M8 Splash screen sits in Partition 12 - that's where the M7 has its HBOOT!
DO NEVER FLASH THE M8 SPLASH ON THE M7 WITH A RECOVERY ZIP! IT WILL BRICK YOUR M7
(just saying).

Thanks for this i was wondering if i could change that and now i have my answer :good:

heres mine if you want...

Thanks for this useful tool.
If anyone wants the red boot splash to hide the red text on stock hboot, download it here:
View attachment red-bootsplash-m8.zip

i made this one to go with my weed theme

This works perfectly! Thank you very much!
Thought I'd share a black background one that I made from the stock HTC one in the OP. Maybe it'll be of use to someone. :good:

Here's another one. It's a black background with just the HTC logo. :good:

In an adb shell in recovery mode, you can dd the contents of p12 into a file:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 of=/sdcard/splashbackup.img
To restore, you dd the file back into the block device:
dd if=/sdcard/splashbackup.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12
(Make sure your sdcard is mounted.)
/!\ Be careful:
If you enter the wrong partition number you may have a brick.
For other devices than the M8, the partition number may be different.
-Jobo

cool man thank you...
its been a long time since i dont mess with htc phones... since the HTC One S (Ville)

Just did this one. See attachment.
remember: flash this on the M7 and the device is bricked. This is for M8 only!

Saw this on a t-shirt online and decided to make some of it into a bootscreen.

[APP] [T285] [2017/12/11] Add Custom Bootanimation

Custom Boot Animation
Change the bootanimation that shows AFTER the boot logo.
This has only been tested on the T285, but should work on the T280.
This app does make a backup of the original bootanimation and the bootanimation.zip and stores it on your /sdcard as bootanimation.bak and bootanimation.zip.bak
MAKE SURE YOUR SDCARD IS MOUNTED WHEN YOU GET INTO TWRP or CWM.
(Have NOT tested in CWM as I have TWRP installed).
To change the bootanimation, replace the system/media/bootanimation.zip in the .zip file with your own bootanimatio.zip file.
Remember the Galaxy TAB A (SM-T285) display is 720x1280.
NOTE: The bootanimation.zip MUST NOT be compressed when creating the bootanimation.zip. Under 'compression method' select 'store'.
Steps to install:
- Reboot into recovery
- Select Install from recovery menu
- Select TAB-A-T285-Custom_Bootanimation.zip
- Follow recovery install prompts
- Reboot and enjoy!
If you need a restore script, please contact me or post a message.

Thanks for the quick reply,
For some reason the tablet doesn't want to restore, reinstalling the custom boot animation also doesn't work.
I have the boot splash screen for +/- 30 seconds and then the OS is booted.. No boot animation
What can I do to get the standard Gray Android Boot animation?

Could be that other bootanimations over-wrote the saved, original bootanimation files.
Original bootanimation files were saved on internal sdcard as *.bak files.
Best way to learn to create a bootanimation is to unzip one and look at the file structure. They are very easy to create. Also, "Google Search" is your friend. You need to make sure you are using a bootanimation (in /system/bin) file that is compatible with the O/S you are using. Otherwise, you will get a blank screen.
