(q) change android nand boot up screen? - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Is it possible to change the htc screen when android us booting up from nand.is boring to me I know its in the rom most likely so where in the rom would I have to change it?

The animated one is bootanimation.zip for nand roms, found in /data/local or /system/media, idk for sure about sd builds boot animations, they may be in the same place.
The screen that shows when you first boot up your device is called the splash screen. These have to be flashed via ruu.updateutility.exe like a rom or radio. Search hd2 wm6.5 themes and apps forum for 'splash'

Not those ones I already got both of those changed I'm talking about the htc screen before the boot animation right after you bootfrom nand.

Oh, I know what one you're talking about now. The one that comes with the rom I use matches the boot animation, so I tend to forget that it's a separate thing from the animation. Unfortunately, I don't know where that one is or how to change it. I seem to halfways remember some mention of it being in the initrd.gz , but I could very possibly be wrong.

G1 boot animations on Aria

G1 boot animations work flawlessly on the Aria with no editing required. I just tested one out. Just FYI in case anyone is interested.
You can find a lot of them here.
You need to have root to be able to do this.
Just download the one you like, place it on the root of your sd card, and use terminal to type in the following command.
su
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local
then reboot.
Thanks to Six6Sicks for his awesome boot animations and easy to follow instructions.
Didn't think to try boot animation from g1. Which the phone I used before the Aria. Can't wait to get home.
Nice find hope it works for most g1 boot animations.

I figured I'd try it out since the g1 has the same screen size as the aria. I'm really trying to track down the stock hero boot animation, so if anyone knows where to find it, let me know.

I also had G1 before and this is great I love the burning apple I now have as bootload its great. Thanks for the info. Question does this also work for themes? Can we use G1 themes or anything else from G1?

Problem with sense based roms

When I flash a sense based rom after it boots when i unlock the screen I see the splash screen.
Is there any way to fix this?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Wait a bit. The first boot takes some time.
I know that the but is already booted when this happens and the same thing happens if I reboot the phone.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Be more patient. I get the same thing as you do (Get the Lock Screen, and, when I unlock it, get the HTC Splash Screen), but, I leave it for about 10 minutes (Normally, 5), and, then, it works as expected.
So it is there until the rom is fully loaded ty for the help.

Yes, it always happens the first time whenever you flash a ROM, and, I know it is a scary experience when it happens.

Yeah, i would want the 2.3 screen off animation too, but seems like they will only come by official firmwares.

I know I have seen q video of android 1.5 and the animations there are amazing it has rotation animation :-\
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
There must be something to do with the thingy they changed from 1.5-2.1 to animation files to read-only. Well, at least spare parts say that fancy rotation animation can only be used on 1.5
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
You can add animations to Sense rom's by using the UOT Kitchen.
Well if there is still a 1.5 rom maybe we can get the animation from the framework res ?

Does anyone know were I can get a 1.5 ROM?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
You won't find a Desire rom with 1.5, but what is wrong with the animations form the UOT Kitchen?

ROTATION ones! It's like you turn your phone into landscape, and your screen like zooms out and rotates and zooms back in, which is cool

I believe there is a dual boot option, but I am unsure of it's usability. Do a search.

Only thing a Google search really turned up was dual booting Windows 7 and Android on the HD2. This would be a sweet option to have though!

Splash

I read wondering if anyone figured out, or streamlined a way to change the splash screen. I am sure I could fire up adb, and follow the guides for the EVO using ffmpeg, but I know it would take a bit of time.
Is there a android python port? I'd love that...but I am slowly learning java... so hopefully soon.

Check the theme and app section. There's like 2 threads about custom splashes. One by iriscience and the other by true blue drew.

Thank you! Though before I saw your reply, I decided to "teach myself to fish" instead of just being given one. I went through the whole creation of a splash in photoshop, the conversion of this file to .img, and then ran "fastboot flash ..." in ADB. Worked great, and my splash turned out great--in photoshop at least. For some reason probably having to do with the particular colorspace on the glacier, and/or the colorspace used when ffmpeg converts the image (and probably some college level physics), because while everything looked great in photoshop, when the image boots up, the hue is way off.
I did find some xda threads on a script someone had written and he provided some sample images to use for a custom splash, and they looked good but they also would look good if the hue shifted (e.g. One photo said "MyTouch 4g Rooted", and showed a rather hot girl...with blue hair... She still looked good and I didn't even notice this until I looked closer at his pictures to see if the starting hue was different.
So I will have to quantify the color shift somehow and then change it in photoshop so it comes out looking right when it comes up as the splash. But it was fun.

Make sure that when you do your own that the image size is 480x800.
