T-Mobile Splash Screen and Android Boot Screen Removal

First would be the T-Mobile "Stick Together" Splash Screen. I don't want to replace it, just eliminate it.
Second would be the Blue HTC HD2 boot screen from my "DISCONTINUED - Stock Gingerbread Rom" by xboarder56. This screen popped up and then the stock Nexus One ribbons. Eliminated those already.
Any ideas?
Here is what is on the phone:
HSPL 2.08
MAGLDR 1.13
DISCONTINUED - Stock Gingerbread Rom by xboarder56 V 2.0
Sorry to be a "newb" but I have found no way to remove, just replace the splash screen and as far as the boot screen I have hunted through all of the directories and I must just be missing something.
Thanks in advance.

One can replace the first-stage boot screen with anything you want, removing the first stage boot screen however is impossible. There are a number of alternative first stage boot screens, as well as the generic HTC first stage boot screen that differs from the T-Mobile carrier-customized first stage boot screen you're complaining about. I like the "HTC HD2 - Resistence is futile" screen with logos of four operating systems the HD2 can run the best, it was featured on the www.xda-developers.com front page.

With another members help the "Splash Screen" I am talking about is the logo.rle file.
Here is what I have attempted to do thus far to remove it with no luck:
- I have gone into ES File Explorer and Enabled Root as well as mounting the File System as writeable, instead of read only, and it won't let me delete the file.
- Tried to decompress the .dmg on the ROM using OS X 10.6, 7zip on Win 7 x64, and MacDrive to remove it. No luck. None of those will decompress a .dmg that is of an NDIF variety.
Any thoughts?

Did you ever get this resolved? I am also looking to remove a t-mobile start up "splash screen" from a newly bought samsung galaxy s2.
The phone is rooted, however not sure what I am looking for to remove it. I know there are ways to replace with different screens, but just wanting rid to be honest.

I did not unfortunately. Ended up moving onto a different phone as I found the larger screen/ phone a liability. Gingerbread still ran best on the HD2 to this point though. As it sits in it's box, maybe a return is in order. If anyone has an easy solution to this please post.

After a bit of hunting around I ended up getting rid of the t-mobile screen in the end, however I was a samsung galaxy s2 and not htc.
Basically was a case of using odis and flashing it....maybe that will be a way for the htc also

Well, one could replace it with a black picture... seems a bit pointless though.

You like any of these?

[Q] Very first splash screen

Hello,
Last year I had installed a custom WM6.5 rom to my android, an "energizer" rom. The very first splash screen, the one appearing just after pressing the power button, was replaced by an energizer logo.
Then I went ahead and installed an SD card Android, but since it required WM6.5 to load first, the splash screen was still the same.
Now I installed Magldr and CWM_Recovery, then a custom NAND Android rom.
However the first splash screen of energizer is still there. I don't want it. I want my own image to be there, since it's obviously changeable. Do you know how I can change that, without harming my magldr or cwm installation?
Thanks!

you need to creat one and turn it into a nbh file, there was a tool that did all this for you, ight need to search this place for it or google

See "watermarking " link in my sig.

That seems to be the solution I've been looking for, I hope I can make it work
I'll use the 0x600 memory space, right? Because 0x601 will remove MAGLDR I have installed?

correct. .....

Great, now the very first boot image is my custom one
Then the Magldr boot sequence starts with some codes like a terminal screen. And then a HTC logo appears for several seconds. Finally an animation starts, stays there for half a minute, and the OS loads.
Now, is there a way to change the HTC logo there, the one after the magldr boot?

Too much searching, but this one got me working:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12574728&postcount=5
The mount command had to be changed to the following though:
mount("yaffs2", "MTD", "boot", "/boot");
However the problem is that the rle files I make up myself don't display correctly on the phone. This exact problem was faced by other people as far as I can see, so my last problem is now that I need to be able to convert a bmp file to rle that the phone can display.

And this one can create correct rle files:

I'll make a tutorial tomorrow so that other people can make this easily

Bootflash for HD2?

Hi guys, has anyone tried the splash screen changer app called 'Bootflash' (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.socaldevs.bootflash&hl=en) on the market? Its device compatibility is limited,so im not sure if it will work on the HD2. But if it does, it will open a whole new level of possibility as us HD2 users can change our splash screens very easily. I dont really want to purchase the app only to find it doesnt work. Also, the free version is not available for download anymore so i cant try it. So can anyone shed some light into this?.Or if you can give me confirmation that the HD2 will emulate the supported devices mentioned, then ill safely purchase it and let you guys know.

the splashscreen on a hd2 is flashed just like a rom or radio, or hspl (and you need hspl to flash them) there are several threads telling you how, several more with splashscreens ready made, or see teh 'custom splashscreens/watermarking' link in my sig if you fancy making your own. Oh and its free.

yeh,tks for your reply, but i was looking to replace the splash.img for the Android ROM itself.the still image(splashscreen) that appears right before the boot animation or right after booting up from MAGLDR. I am aware of changing the stock splash screen(White screen with HTC logo) that appears on pressing the power button...too bad i cant change that cus i cant enter bootloader anymore(volume down button is kaput).

Also, i was wondering if these methods would work (http://android.modaco.com/topic/334451-guide-how-to-change-your-bootanimation-and-splash-image/) :
1) Open/create an image in GIMP with a resolution of 480x800
2) Flip the image horizontally (make sure you FLIP don't ROTATE by 180 or text etc will be reversed)
3) Save The image as ".bmp" and expand the advanced settings menu
4) Choose The format as "16bit format R5 G6 B5"
5) Verify the file size as 768070 bytes
6) Save the file as "splash.bmp"
7) Open Command prompt/terminal navigate to the directory where you saved the image (eg, type " cd C:\documents and settings\\my documents\")
8) Type "fastboot flash splash splash.bmp"
-do help and tks for your time!

How to change picture of "Drag to unlock your nook" screen that shows after boot?

How to change picture of "Drag to unlock your nook" screen that shows after boot?
How to change picture of "Drag to unlock your nook" screen that shows after boot, for NSTG with firmware 1.2.1 ?
This screen shows the photo of the park pines tree, and I want to change it but don't know where it needs to be changed.
I thought it was /system/media/screensaver/default.png as this was the same, but having changed that, I'm still seeing the tree pic.

It is /system/media/screensaver/default.png. However, to really make it change, you have to change the corresponding image in one of the system screensavers folders (./authors or ./nature) to the same image as default.png.
For example, my 1.2.1 NSTG came with the image /system/media/screensaver/authors/Bronte_Sisters.png as the default.png image. I have changed it to just a simple black 600x800 image. To do that, I made two copies of the black image and named them default.png and Bronte_Sisters.png. I then replaced the original default.png with the black one, and the original Bronte_Sisters.png with the black one.
To use this for yourself, just find out the name of your default tree image by looking in /system/media/screensaver/nature. Then, just do what I did in the previous paragraph.
Hope this helps!

Yes that worked for me, thanks. It's a strange way to do things.
My image was nature/Park_Pines.png

The splash screen is part of the firmware. You can remove your boot splash screen by flashing an unbraned firmware - try your luck with http://www.lumiafirmware.com - OR if you want to change it you have to create a custom ROM. A huge work, I don't know actually how worthy. Let me know if you try the long way. I haven't tried.

It seems that the boot screen of Win10 can be changed through a registry entry and a jpg File placed for example here \Data\Users\Public\Documents\boot.jpg
so the long way would be to avoid the custom-ROM, but first install Windows 10 Mobile, then proceed with hacks... one of them is to update your boot screen.
