How do you create a custom boot splash screen like unRevoked? - Droid Incredible General

How can i make one of these? I unzipped the pb zip file, and it contains a txt file and an .img file.. tried to extract the img file with winrar, and tried to mount it with daemon tools, but nothing worked. i'm guessing it's not just a jpg or something like that, i'm guessing it's a rgb file or something like that.. anyways, how do I make a custom boot splash?

How about you STOP posting questions in the development forum???? Have you seen that there's a Q&A forum?
Uggghhhhhh!!!!!

hey, you [language edit], was this really necessary.. as far as I'm concerned, this is a development question. it's more than "how do I take a picture" or something else trivial like that, there seems to be some coding or possibily compiling of some sore involved.. so instead of being an asshole, how about you shut the **** up if you don't have anything positive to contribute to the conversation..
/edit: for those that think this is uncalled for or inappropriate, sorry, but i don't agree.. was I a little rough, maybe i'll admit to that, but there are more posts like this than I can count and all of them are entirely uncalled for.. This site has the feel of a high school where the seniors harass all the freshmen just because they can.. there's alot of great info here, but the alot of the people are internet douchebags.. do what you will with this thread, i dont care.. I wont be posting here anymore, as of the 3 questions i've asked (all of which, imho belonged in the development section) 2 of them have had responses like this.

and for the record melophat (I'm not bombing on you) but personally I would consider this a themes post. I don't think it belongs here either.
I know some of the vets are getting sick of threads being put in the wrong place, there's a ton of activity here and the one mod we have is getting overworked, imo .Personally, I came from droid forums where there are tons of mods and threads are misplaced all the time

I think it's normally done in something like flash or after effects, and exported as a series of pngs.

OP, deficitism made one in the themes and apps section. you might want to tear it apart, or message him.
or join in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=753737

Then replied like that. Omg do we all have to wipe his ass. He lucky to not get banned for that. In fact I'm gonna report that. As its totally not called for..
He's just to lazy to use Google the info is their I know how but ill be dammed if I'm helping him Pmsl.

B) Consider this your only warning on the language. You will be taking a vacation on the next offense.
@Everyone: Please do not flame people for posting in the wrong forum. Just click on the Report Post link in the thread, and ask us to move it.

Dude, I pasted that same response to a few generic question threads, started in the development forum. I'm not an internet tough guy. I'm a 6'3" tall, 200lb Desert Shield/Desert Storm vet and a network engineer. I'm doing my part to help out the mods since this forum has grown out of control. I don't know what language was edited in your post, but you can call me whatever you want since I know you wouldn't say it in person.

I don't think it's contradictory at all. I said that IIII'm not an internet tough guy; meaning I'm not on here calling people names and chit, that I wouldn't say to them in person. HE IS doing that. "wouldn't say it in person" takes the internet out of the equation!
EDIT: It's kind of sad that you're dissecting my response that contained no name calling, after the response to my post.

Even though the OP probably won't read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=753788.

It's 'ESPECIALLY'. There's no X in that word. Also 'relevance' not 'relevence'. I'm certain I'm missing one or two there, but this was just a quick glance. Since you seem to be all over propriety, I suggest learning to spell before criticizing others.
I like these forums, but GOD I'm getting sick of the self proclaimed topic police around here. The guy asked a legitimate question. There was no reason to jump all over him for it.

this is funny
I am not here to agree with johnson's approach to this thread but I have to agree that this thread should not have been created in such forum. PM's are exactly how you communicate with other members and if after PMing said Member, he received info that he felt relevant to the forum, then he should post it. Just starting a thread to ask someone something like that is just a little much.
Loud noises!!!!
I am just tired of threads like this... then people backing up the justification of it being there.... then people going after the ones that get on the ones that post stupid sh*t like this....
I've been reading xda for a very long time and it just goes on and on and on, but this particular handheld seems to attract a butt load of self richous know nothings... and not noobs.. but know nothings... the retard to technical person ratio is just totally f*cked currently, makes me want to go back to hacking winmo phones or something, at least there the idiots let you know they were idiots up front.
and I don't give a big flying f if I can spell or not.. that is the weakest type of argument ever... you obvioulsy know what I'm saying... so I don't really care if you correct me or leave it be, it makes you sound as pompous as you are suggesting I am is all.
EDIT:
@azyouthinkeyeiz I can be the biggest asshole on the face of the planet if I want... I can care less if you or anyone else likes me or not, a knowledgeable person is a knowledgeable person. My job and/or goal here isn't to make friends, it's to learn and to share knowledge. I can dish out whatever info I see fit however I see fit, you don't like it... tough sh*t

Fed up with ppl posting question in the dev forum

Admin... mods...
Quite a few people of being plain stupid and posting non-dev related question/topics in the dev forum... it's kinda becoming a a mess...
no I don't blame the admin or mods... i blame the ppl doing this stupid thing... HELLO!!! can't u guys see "Development forum" and understand that it's specific to dev stuff???
BTW, if you guys need help with getting ride of crap like this, I'm ready to help!!!
Posts like this are just as annoying..
nothing really you can do to help.
They should change that stickied thread to state, "please post any question threads in the general section." or something like that. What it says now really doesn't mean anything to me.
This is coming someone who was once guilty of this act. As a noob to that forum I thought, "hey a development section, i got a question about development, guess it goes here. "
Its quite easy to see all of them are making this mistake.
They really need to just change it so that completely new threads need to be approved (not posts).

I'm sure the mods would love that idea /s
IMO people shouldn't take offense to a topic being posted in the wrong section. If I have a request for an app section I don't know if that goes in development, themes & apps, or general.
I think the best solution is to create more categories. "Questions/problems" "mods/hacks" "accessories" and maybe one specific to devs where they get some type of posting approval on their profile allowing them to post in a development section.
The categories are far too general to know exactly where every post should go, in my opinion.

The mods take care of this, trust me. They write in every locked thread and moved thread why it was moved, etc. This is just annoying. To me, this looks more like you are asking to be a mod than anything. But I see your view.

I may be new to this forum... (cuz I got my N1 just around that time... my first Android phone... and I never had any other phones for which this forum has threads.... but XDADev is a trusted, well known name...) I moderated MotorolaFans.com a couple of years ago, before I got too involved with office work, and I did have to deal with this crap there as well.
I guess ppl got the wrong impression from this thread (I think it's my fault, didn't word it correctly). I'm just looking for ways to make the mods' lives a little less frustrating... and to get crap outta the wrong forums ;-).
So basically, this thread was created as a way for you to not so subtly cry out that you want to be a mod. All this after only being on this forum for a few weeks. Gotcha.

I'm just saying, from personal experience, that a mods job isn't easy... and we, the users, need to contribute to keeping this forum clean...
Let me put this down properly...
1. I don't want to be a mod
2. I'm not doubting or complaining about the mods and the great work they do
3. There are only a few mods and thousands of users (that's some task)
4. We, the users, also need to help keeps things clean
So in short, what can I, as a USER, do to help improve this situation!!!

I don't think it was the "No. Not possible." part that was the issue, it was the "Done. Mods close thread." part that was a bit rude. It came off that way to me anyways. A simple "Not possible" would have sufficed.

My feelings were never hurt because I understand how some people do not have lives and just go from post to post being assholes to strangers on the internet to make up for their non-existent social life in the real world. As far as it being a stupid question, sorry that I did not perform a search. I looked at the posts from the first two pages in this forum and didn’t see anything. Either way, have a nice day. I will be sure to search before I ask a question that takes up so much space on this website. Get a life.

Have to go in it to know what the content is. Look at the title.............Maybe someone had found something we already hadn't heard.............or not! LOL
Please mods, remove this useless thread... :S
People ***** because the forum rules CLEARLY state to USE SEARCH before posting.... OP obviously DID NOT. Dont preach unless you know what it is your preaching about.

OP - How about doing research next time before starting a new useless thread? This has already been posted here, in a different thread, and is yesterdays news... 'Search' goes a long way.... oh wait, you must be one of the ones who dont read forum rules huh? Makes sense now..

Wow. I know reposts are annoying to a lot of people, but I tend to not be so uptight because one or two reposts every few days on an important subject which sometimes cite different source material doesn't seem so bad. And besides, it may actually be the first time some other guy is seeing it.
But why do I have to go through pages of comments which are all belittling the OP? You sir, did not need to post, as the guy right above you had already mentioned this is old news - why do we need this done more than once? If you don't like reposts, move on, there's no reason we should have pages of useless hypocritical comments in a thread which someone else might find to be useful if not for all the trash.
Also, have you ever tried to search for a URL to see if it's already been posted?
Try it for yourself:
http://phandroid.com/2011/06/13/mot...r-bootloader-policy-and-image-in-the-process/
It doesn't work that well.

why would you search for that link instead of a thread on that topic? there is a handy 'search this forum' button. just type in "unlock bootloader" and see how much pops up. You'll even find the main thread with the petition that lead to this, and the same news is in that thread.
If no threads have a link to this same news article, it is not a repost. People enjoy different perspectives on the same topics.

it's the same damn information. find the thread where people are already talking about it, and provide them with the new link. all the links say the same thing though. absolutely no need for a new thread for each link.
Wow at forum mentality. I understand people like organization, but some people are a little over the top.

I guess everyone is just a little groggy and annoyed that we keep hearing about an unlocked boot loader or news of a boot loader and boot loaders with HTC and all those great news for phones other than the ATRIX.
Our phone is suppose to be a flagship, but it feels like we're playing second fiddle to other phones because of the limitations of the boot loader.
Let's just keep our cool and be patient. If all else fails... We will start a mass riot.... on the internet of course =] DDOS AND ALL THAT FUN STUFF.

Everyone is brave with words on here huh? You're a big man because you can shoot someone down with words huh? I bet if you said what you said to the guy who started this thread in person, he would take you down a notch. Don't try to be Billy Bada$$ on here with your words. Be a man and speak your opinion in a polite manner. I would have never thought to talk to someone like that because they started a simple little repeat thread.

Hehe, this kind of makes me laugh. Why? Here, lemme 'splain:
This is the Interenet. It has Forums. In every single one of those forums, people post the same things, over and over. Repeatedly. In ever single one of those forums, there are forum rules. In every single one of those forums, those rules get ignored. In every single one of those forums, someone posts about how there are rules and that idiot n00bs should use the search function.
What's the point of all this? That it doesn't matter. To borrow a quote, "This has all happened before, and it will happen again." The ass pointing out to the n00b to use the search function doesn't need you to tell him he's being an ass any more than I need to tell you that it's pointless. And even if THAT n00b starts to use the search function, some OTHER n00b will be along shortly posting the same thing. This is how the internet works. And until ALL anonymity goes away, that's just how it's going to be. Seriously, don't get worked up over it. Just realize to yourself that there's another repeat post that's going to be criticized and move along to the next post. Or answer the n00bs question (as I find treating the n00bs question as if it's the first one ever REALLY annoys those that get worked up over them )

When will XDA members here learn.

1. Search before posting.. please for the love of all our goofy gods USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION.
2. We are all knowing and mass informed! There is a 99.99999% chance some one has already posted info that is no less than 20 seconds old.
"look how old the news you are posting is"
3. The question you are about to start a entire thread about in the wrong section already exists, i repeat! The question you are about to start a entire thread about in the wrong section already exists.
4. You are not special.. ever.. you are part of the all singing, all dancing cirrus.
5. Don't ever troll! WE HATE IT and BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO THOSE WHO DARE TROLL.
6. Don't ever say anything without being 99999999% sure of it.
7. This is XDA have fun but have respect.
8. You are allowed a opinion.. I hope you have facts to back it up.
9. If your new here... Click here or please lurk more.
10. LURK you must lurk before posting.. that will help eliminate most of these issue's as you quickly will become aware that See number 4.
because i am a rebel who tries to use constructive critisism...and defend n00bs as well as those who face problems with a short amount of time(its our phone and we need it working now!) I will be the rival to the moderator in training.
You're lingo is so serious but gentle. Like me.
1. Search before posting.. please for the love of all our goofy gods USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION.
I've learned this from several jobs, school, and marketing. When people see more post counts, or a post from an older date, people are less likely to get a response. Along with this, some searches are very vague and just never get the answers we were looking for. I can google almost anything and find what I want to find. My girlfriend, my mother, heck my boss seem like idiots to me when I see how they keyword what they want, and don't get results. And for the people who do find what they want, probably dont find exactly what they want.
But point is, yes, step one, is always use search. if you don't. someones going to ignore your question and tell you "USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION."
2. We are all knowing and mass informed! There is a 99.99999% chance some one has already posted info that is no less than 20 seconds old.
the numbers are inaccurate. It's a 87.896% chance, and the news is generally 2-5 hours old.
3. The question you are about to start a entire thread about in the wrong section already exists, i repeat! The question you are about to start a entire thread about in the wrong section already exists.
who are you talking to? too broad...and what if...it didn't exist. like batman?
4. You are not special.. ever.. you are part of the all singing, all dancing cirrus.
Now that just ain't nice.
5. Don't ever troll! WE HATE IT and BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO THOSE WHO DARE TROLL.
1. No...bad things don't always happen. Depends on how good the troll is. Some would believe i am trolling you...as I could see it, you are trolling all of us.
6. Don't ever say anything without being 99999999% sure of it.
At this point, i think i've decided you are the x10's headmaster... i once knew a guy who was from germany...
7. This is XDA have fun but have respect.

@omega; generally i love your stuff, you're a great voice for the enlightened ones - an intermediary.
I feel you sat on the thin line with this post. Example; a new user just happens to read this before the sticky in any forum/sub-forum, then this message would perhaps be more useful than any other instructions they might have read first - they would perhaps feel irritated by the (albeit jovial) condescending tone. I for one have read a few of your posts - so i am familiar with your charming and sarcastic personality!
On the other hand, they have read the rules already, and do search first etc etc etc..
In this instance, this thread becomes an ironic hypocrisy, where it appears that the "rules" that are often beaten about our newbie heads by mods/senior members - dont appear to apply to them....

I am aware of this and the problem is.. awareness.
I used this thread to rant.
The mods may delete it.
My point has been made.
PEOPLE please pay attention. << this was my point as very few seem to read the rules or follow the guidelines.
The point is pointless as many have been ignoring the rules.
I am not saying we should ignore noobs.. help them but also inform them.
One forum i was part of tried using a gestapo attitude to this issue.
It was a complete mess.
It was only due to my efforts and love for that forum that it started to shape up and become a true medium for communication and development.
"I was not a mod, merely a outsider that solidly stood for the right thing."
This is why i make these comments, this is why i rant, this is why i expose myself to harassment and mental torture.. it's not just for me.. but for you.
I stand for all that is good!
My dark sense of humor serves that purpose.
But enough about me.. i am not what is important.
The x10 is and SE's delivery on the product is the true issue at hand.
Whenever i use the search tool and for example i search for launcherpro all i see is roms and stupid crap so i just dont use the search tool 95% the results are roms --
