Hi to all,
I don't know if thisever been post it or not! but I want to start a new post that veiw all the nice image of boot splash (not the welcome screen, but the first 2 images when you boot your phone in RUU_signed.nbh format)
I have custom ROM and I love it but I don't like the images (phone carrier) when I boot my phone and I want to change it if I can

I can't help myself
Obviously I have to post my own work first!!!
Cheers
andrew-in-woking

You have to name it welcomehead.96.jpg and it must have the size of your screen to fill it. And yes it goes in windows. There is also a small mort script named random splash screen which launches splashscreens from a defined folder randomly on every start up... very nice

That's the actual ROM file, not the splash image.

I think he is looking for the first two splash screens like Badbert used to make
sort of like these:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308504
DON"T USE THEM IF NOT AN HTC WIZARD
( sorry I could not be of more help... but if it exists for wizards, it should exist for other devices as well)

Ages ago when JASJAM put a call out for one of his Black Hermes roms ...
There was this awesome Cylon one i never got down ..

[GUIDE] Changing your bootanimation and delete those ugly sound

*EDITED*
This is very easy now after having the permanent ROOT -- thanks to PAUL for wonderful Visionary+, Evostance for brilliant guide, and those geniuses who make this happened (you know who )
First you need to get permanent root. Here is the link to the guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834427
(If you read till page 10, you will definitely know how to do it and what to expect).
Second, go buy ROOT EXPLORER from the market. (Best explorer for rooted phone period).
Go to /system/customize/resource
Make sure you enable the r/w (read write option), other wise you cant do modification.
You will see both the audio and bootanimation there.
If you hated that sound (just like me), just delete the audio.mp3. If you want to change the bootanimation, just copy your bootnimation.zip to overwrite the default one.
That's all....reboot the phone....and you will have your peace...and enjoy the new bootanimation.

kuailan said:
I am just wondering is the good old way of adb pushing the bootanimation.zip work for HD? I do noticed the stock animation are located in /customize/resource folder in the system ROM. Has anyone try changing the bootanimation? Just hated those sound in bootup (prefer no sound).

firstly i'd like to state, this is development and not Q & A not being mean just stating.
secondly if you had read the ref guide which is pinned to the top you might have got your answer.
finally your answer...
NO
you can not write on the nand with the temp root. no can you adb push.
permanent root is on its way and i believe the nand will be unlocked on that so you may have write permissions. once this has been obtained then you can push a custom boot animation if required.

First of all thank you for the answer (actually I also thought so, and your answer just confirmed that)
And as for posting in develeopment, I DO believe that changing bootanimation is part of Android development (anything that involved creating/modifying and changing of the default system files). Just like recovery or flashing tools, people also develop bootanimation changer application to make life easier for others.
Also I did some search, and this is the first post for any bootanimation for Desire HD. I hope once "root" has been accomplished. People can just use this thread to put the guide to changing those animation.
Therefore I do read and follow the guidelines.

well glad you're a happy bunny
but several things,it isn't development as you were asking a question at time of writing.
secondly themes section deals with bootanimation and things like that. sound can be disabled by just renaming the file i.e. add a .bak after mp3 just for back up purpose or you can delete the file entirely up to the user.
with customs roms, they may be in a different location. i do believe that AOSP builds are located in media where as in sense builds /customize/resource
it can change depending on the developers choice really. thats why when a person releases a theme, it states what rom the user must be using to avoid problems.
anyways there's no need to carry on with that as you have got what you wanted, full root so you can do w.e. you like know
my personal favourite boot animation was the original hero one, but since that doesnt work anymore/havent found 1 that has been converted to work with the new roms, i like "making fro-yo" it just draws a pic of a frozen yoghert and colours it in.

I purchased Bootanimation changer by Andres Schomis a while back when I was still using the original Desire. There are quite a few nice and interesting ones there. My fav so far is the pissing droid (to piss off some of my iphone mate ) and the alienware. I am sure they are also available in this forum (just do a search). There is no option for desire HD yet, but seem like the one that work for Desire also work just fine in HD. To make the app work, you will need to set the custom path. I highly recommend that app for bootanimation.

Somehow I feel this thread should be in the Themes/Apps subforum instead Since it basically has to do with customization. Anyway, thanks a lot for the instructions.

Agreed with you there mate
I do like the instructions, always helpful for those not browsing the development threads (which do take up a lot of reading time )

Ok can some one tell me what i'm i doing wrong?? it's been more then 6 hours since I started working on this.
Here is my anamtion
Download me please
I cant figure out whats wrong with it....
I even saved it as store with winrar even tried copying the files inside the HTC stock zip and still same problem
can someone help me please?

Bump any one can help?

Just delete the bootanimation.zip inside the /system/customize/resource
Then just copy your animation to the same path /system/customize/resource.
Make sure your animation is also named bootanimation.zip

For some reason I'm not able to enable the r/w function in the resource folder. The only place I can do it is in the root directory (with system, sdcard etc). Any idea of why this is happening? (my phone is perma-rooted and I have granted Super user permissions).

This drove me mad for a while too.
I uninstalled root explorer then re-installed and I could the select r/w for all folders.

hi
do i need s-off for this or is just permanent root enough??
thnx

anyone got any good animation zips and sounds?

yeah, thats what i wanna know too

Does anyone know what would happen if you removed the boot animation entirely? Will the phone still boot ok?
I'm happy not to have one at all if it speeds things up

Guys
first I didn't find the bootanimation in system ressource i found it in data/local/
along with the android-audio.mp3
second I tried to change these file it worked but the animation doesn't show up and I have just a small android when I boot up
What can I do ?
PS : my file may be too big 27 megabite for the bootanimation.zip

I tried already, but why whenever I reboot, the bootanimation.zip would revert to the original one?

Regarding boot screen animation

I'm using:
Revolution HD & 4G2.0.14
Froyo 2.2.1
Kernel 2.6.32.29 Buzz Sense
Note: This requires a read/write capable file manager, like Root Explorer or Super Manager. Rooted phone, Radio off, etc. I didn't break it you did, all that jazz. To it:
Wanted the animation found HERE for my boot screen, but couldn't get it to work as noted (original thread for EVO users I believe...) but after some fails, figured it out.
Instead of placing the zip in /system/customize/resources as stated, place the zip in "/data/local" to replace the current zip.
Then reboot. Should work for all Sense ROMs, where the "/system/customize/resource" fails. Cheers all.

Will this remove the annoying T-Mobile boot screen I get as well?
Thanks

Yeah, it loads straight to the animation. Sometimes I still get the htc splash screen for about five seconds or so, but I think that's only during a soft-restart.
It should, but I can't say for certainty. If you want to test it first, just rename the old file bootanimation.zip.back - then place the new file and test it. If it doesn't work the way you want, delete the new file and rename the old one back to its original state.

[Q][Bootanimation] BIOS boot animation

Dear all,

Check permissions on the bootanimation.zip.
placing the file in /data/local should work.
I don't see the redraw issue you are talking about. Can you be more specific?

Sorry for my poor English - the problem is that after adding this archive to/data/local, nothing is happens.
After Acer splash screen I saw the black screen for 20 seconds and after that Android just starting.
Can anyone test that bootscreen on own device?

Make sure permissions on the bootanimation.zip is set to read/write for all.
When I get the black screen boot, that is usually the reason.

The problem is that you have zipped the files using compression, android can't read boot animation from compressed files. You have to select the method as "Store" in order to get it working.
Here's a DOS boot I made few days ago, it might be useful.

Hm, now it is working. Maybe you know any HOWTOs, where I will find information about best ways to make custom bootscreens?

Thanks for tip

[Q] How to change the Bootscreen/Motorola Logo on startup?

I know that the Bootscreen is stored on /dev/block/mmcblk1p10
I also made an cool Bootscreen inspired by the actual Motorola Bootscreens but I dont know the exact steps to get it on the phone
On the cm7 zip there was a custom '' logo.img '' I think that was the bootscreen(?)
For the Milestone1 I found a tutourial but this method doens't seem to work on the Milestone2
( http://modmymobile.com/forums/555-m...s/559148-tool-milestone-custom-boot-logo.html )
And please give me some feedback for my bootscreen

Well this is an interesting topic. While having a look at it i found out that for everyone who wishes to change the animated bootlogo from the cyanogen logo to a different one the file is called bootanimation.zip and its located at /system/media/bootanimation.zip
Some awesome bootanimations can be found at droidboots under downloads/boot-animations/
Edit:
Okay after a little bit more investigation about your case it seems i found the way to edit the bootlogo gonna try it first and then tell if it works.
So this is how i did it.
First i downloaded MilestoneBootLogo.zip from this Post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16836960&postcount=1
I used one of the Logos given in that post but you can use any logo with the size of 480x182 px.
If you have a custom image it has to be in 24 bit BMP format. Open it with the MilestoneBootLogo Program and save it as bin File.
Now put the bin file on you sdcard.
After that install Splash Tools and AndExplorer via the Play Store.
Open Splash Tools and browse for the Bootlogo on your sdcard. Press ok then Apply et voila your ready to Reboot and the Bootlogo should be replaced.
