Any idea on how to change first boot splash ?

On the HTC Dream (G1...) it was possible to get rid of the very first boot image, that white screen with a steady HTC logo, with a flashboot command like the following (changing source img name $3 ):
fastboot flash splash1 splash.raw565
.....now...the obvious question....do we need a special SPL to do something like that on Desire?
I saw something in boot.img that could probably help in the process but my Droid skills are too basic to get an answer by myself.
Any idea on this?
Thanks!

How to change boot animation
1. You need to have HTC Sync and Android SDK installed
2. Copy bootanimation.zip to SD Card
3. Turn off Desire and then turn it on while holding back button to enter bootloader(white screen)
4. Once in "white screen" press power button again to enter bootloader
5. Connect Desire with PC
6. Press Volume Down and than Power to enter Recovery
7. Open Command prompt/Terminal and type
Code:
adb shell mount /system
adb push C:\bootanimation.zip /data/local
adb reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
8. Unplug your HTC and enjoy your new boot animation
Alternative method to install a custom boot animation (without Recovery Mode - by MasDroid)
1. You need to have HTC Sync and Android SDK installed (http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html).
2. To get adb running on the Windows OS platform, for example, download & extract the Android SDK to the following path: %SystemDrive%\android-sdk-windows (e.g. C:\android-sdk-windows)
3. Turn on your phone and connect it to your PC via a USB port.
4. Place the downloaded bootanimation.zip into the same folder as the adb app (in the tools folder of the SDK).
5. Open command prompt and type cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools, hit enter.
6. Type adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local, hit enter.
7. Reboot phone.

That is how to change "second" boot animation, but he wont's to change "first" bootanimation, the one with white background and green htc logo
Have no idea how to remove it, but would like to know it too

Dang It!

Yep that's it.... but I imagine that the chance of sending some sort of RTFM was so sweet to fog out the actual question (some of... us share the same behavior)
... probably I should have been more clear on my request.
At the moment I'm still searching around for some clues and I will report here all my findings.
.... c'mon... the first ugly splash is displayed way longer than the second... and if that isn't enough.... it's ugly

You need the engineering SPL. Impossible to do otherwise.

So I need the piece of software everybody is waiting for...
HTC must be very proud of their logo if they make it so hard to get rid of it. Even boot messages would look better ;-)
Well, thanks a lot for the info !

S-OFF is now available! Just installed on my Telstra Desire and changed the splash1 screen successfully!

Me too! There are guides and even a 1-click splash screen replacement application which is flippin' awesome. I've made my splash, but now to work on the boot animation so that the whole lot is seamless, right up until loaded.... watch this space.

A link would have been great..

I actually meant changing the 1st boot screen img, and for your information I read these forums every single day.

I gave up following xda for barked answers like that one... go see a shrink and be polite, or don't bother answer.
For the s-off question, it's a quite straight forward operation, I don't have time right now but I' ll make a step by step how to that I hope will help with doubts.

Hi,
Your Desire needs to be S-OFF, Than you need to use fastboot to flash the new bootscreen:
fastboot flash splash1 yourbootscreen.img

I was wondering about the very same thing a while ago. This is what I have learned:
TO BEGIN WITH, YOUR PHONE MUST BE S-OFF. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS THREAD IF YOUR PHONE ISN'T S-OFF.
In order to flash your custom splash1 image, prepare a *.BMP image with size corresponding to your device's display size (which in case of the Desire is 480x800). Make sure the image is in 24-bit color space (true colors), 16 or 32-bit images wont work.
When you have the image prepared, download a tool called NBIMG (you'll find it here on XDA). Put your image and nbimg.exe into the same directory, open up command prompt and then navigate to the folder where you've placed the files. I'll use c:\nbimg as an expamle.
To convert the image to the smartphone format, issue the following commands:
Code:
chdir c:\nbimg
nbimg.exe -F mycustomimage.bmp -w 480 -h 800
This will create mycustomimage.bmp.nb file. If you want to be sure everything went alright, convert this file back to *.bmp format by using this command:
Code:
nbimg.exe -F mycustomimage.bmp.nb -w 480 -h 800
This will create mycustomimage.bmp.nb.bmp. Open this file and compare it to your original image. If the images match (no artifacts, inverted colors, etc.), you are good to go and you can proceed to flash the image to the phone using fastboot.
Take your converted image (mycustomimage.bmp.nb) and replace the .bmp.nb part with .img suffix so the resulting file is named mycustomimage.img. Now take this *.img file and put it to the tools subdirectory inside your Android SDK installation folder (fastboot.exe must be in said subdirectory, as I will use the path as an example).
Connect the phone to your computer and enable usb debugging.
Navigate to folder inside the Android SDK where adb.exe is located (older revisions of the SDK have it inside tools subdir, latest SDK has it inside platform-tools subdir). Reboot your device to bootloader mode through adb by issuing the following commands:
Code:
chdir c:\AndroidSDK\tools
adb.exe start-server
adb.exe reboot bootloader
When the phone reboots into bootloader, issue the following command to flash the image into the phone:
Code:
fastboot flash splash1 mycustomimage.img
Now reboot your phone using this command:
Code:
fastboot reboot
Enjoy your new custom splash1 image, you're all done
And if you let me, I'd like to share a few images I have created myself. They're nothing extra, just a quick and noobish work in GIMP, so if you don't like them, please, don't download them and don't troll. I won't react on comments saying "your images are fugly" or anything else alike
Download the *.img files by clicking on corresponding images.
MD5 sums:
splash1_htc_cm7_droid.img 90beed110b59b76c0a1aad55c2b616af
splash1_htc_cm7_fadedlights.img 008f8efe149f3361f4cdd8946e06f5df
splash1_htc_cm7_white.img 53ca8a089685b47188cdefb1dded9ba0
splash1_htcyan_cm7.img 2014e223835574b115daf68935c0db4b
...or you can download md5sums of all the files above in a single *.md5 file here.

8-D t'at's about it ....
Thanks Squrl many acorns to you .-)

[SOLVED][Q] Help, mdj CM7 won't boot after replacing "libmedia.so"

HELP!
After I replaced that libmedia file mentioned here, my HD2 wont boot anymore. I read about this issue (here) before, but how can I get the original one back to my phone? Have installed adb with all addons, but which mode do I have to choose to get access to my phone and how do I start ADB?
Where can I get the original "libmedia.so" file?
All Tuts I found are not for HD2.
I have Gingerbread Cyanogen Mod 2.4 NAND by mdeejay on my phone.
Thanks in advance, I hope u can help me save my latest contacts and sms.
SEE POST #3 FOR SOLUTION!

UPDATE: ADB runs, but doesnt recognize the phone using MAGLDR point 4. "USB flasher" and point 5. "USB TTY"
Which mode should I choose?

Thx for ignoring me!
[SOLVED:]
Plug the phone while its trying to boot to the USB-cable.
Navigate to the folder where the orginal "libmedia.so" is located ("cd c:\" for example)
Then, type: "adb push libmedia.so /system/lib/"
Of course, ADB needs to be installed properly, I did it using this video:
The recent version of the SDK (R08) doesnt have ADB in the "tools" folder, but in the "platform-tools" folder, so just move it to "tools".
I attached the WORKING "libmedia.so" file, so it will boot again!

Thanx A LOT die_braut!
Thought I had to install a new Android, but your answer saved the trouble - yehaaa

Thanks with your libmedia.so i can launch Navigon 3.5.3 on Oxygen 2.0 RC7 with HTC Desire

Arghh, on my HTC Desire it doesn't work.
by using the command:
adb push libmedia.so /system/lib/
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
came the message "its a directory"
so I used
adb push libmedia.so /system/lib/libmedia.so
it seems sucessfully und shows KB and time.
After un-/reinstalling Navigon und rebooting, Navigon will not start.
I'm using CM 7 mod

adb push libmedia.so /system/lib/libmedia.so would have been correct. You have to specify the target path as well as the file name. As far as Navigon I cannot help as I do not own it.

I've done this way. Maybe the file is not fitting for my Desire

Thats possible. I think the CM7-Build by m-deejay is from Desire HD (not sure).

question
can anyone tellme what libmedia.so does?
i have installed libmedia.so and navigon works fine now. but i am unable to connect my phone to the pc with usb. is there a possible relationship to the modified libmedia.so?

I really don't know but backup and save the original libmedia on your pc and just try, i did it first with an other libmedia, phone didn't boot any more then. Just restored desire and everything was fine.
This one did the job for me. My specs are in my signature and idd on RC6 it didn't work for me also.

I'm trying to replace the old libmedia.so but everytime i get the response directory not empty. Does anyone have an idea?

[solved] Bootanimations- Change impossible in ۵.ReflexTSenseHD v1.7 DHD

Hello:
i tried to change my Bootanimation but with no Luck.
1. i tried to make a "theme" via Online Kitchen; got a file (about 6mb) flashed it via Recovery but Botscreen stayed at white "HTC-Briliant"
2. i tried to manualy delete the bootaniamtion.zip at /data/app/local with androidmate (free)--> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10041079&highlight=bootanimation#post10041079
3. i tried to make my own update.zip ( http://www.londatiga.net/it/how-to-create-android-update-zip-package/)
script:
Code:
show_progress 0.1 0
copy_dir PACKAGE:data\app\local data\app\local:
show_progress 0.1 10
4. tried to change the bootimage.zip in NEO's Reflext.Rom by deleting all unneccesary stuf and changing the bootanimation-zip
--> got stuck after Recovery so i had to reflash the whole ROM..
--------------------------------------------
why i'm not able to change this bootanimation ?
can someone provide me a funktional Update-zip for this ROM
(or a HowTo for doing it myself?)
i would like to test these Bootimages:

EDIT: i also tried via

- Copy the downloaded file to your sdcard
- Disconnect phone from computer
- Open Terminal Emulator on your phone and enter the code below (press enter after every line)
su
cp /sdcard/480x800_AndroidGlow1.zip /data/local/bootanimation.zip
reboot
Click to expand...

EDIT:

Try putting it into /system/customize/resource
thats where the bootanimation (and the boot sound..) was located on my desire rom.

tried this but:
1: i found no "resource" folder under /system/customize..
2. after creating this folder and copying bootanimation.zip nothing happens
it seems like NEO put it on a special place in his ROM so i cant't figure out..

Test this route: /system/etc/customer/bootanimation.zip ;-)

System/sd/app/local remplace the bootanimation.zip and reboot.

It worked !!
Thanks ASIER
the System/sd/app/local .. did the trick
why does neo uses this folder-structure.. weird ..
(and also thx to raa_ for his help)

does it make sense if i say, i don't have a /system/sd/app/local folder??? the sd part is nowhere to be found
any idea?
edit. found it on my Desire it was under /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
cheers

i think it depends on the ROM you are using!
i use the ReflextSense 1.7 from NEophyte.360
that uses the "unusual" path as postet before.
"normal" Sense ore SenseHD Roms are using different locations as you found out..
it is sad that there's not a standard-path for all roms !

are you sure youre on the system-"partition" ?
i first set the System to Read/Write in SPareparts and afterwards used ESData explorer (in the program you have to enable ROOT funktions..)
--> menu/settingsroot options --> mount filesystem
------
click on the button on the very left (sd-icon) and it should change into a "house"
the path should be a "/"
afterwards choose SYSTEM/SD/APP/Local
in this folder there should be bootanimation.zip, downanimation.zip, shutdown.zip and "placeholder"
hope it helps

I cant find my bootanimation.zip anywhere,Im using insertcoin 1.8f(trying to update to 1.8h with no luck )

this Thread describes Changing BOOTANIMATION in ReflextSense (1.7)
i think insertCoin uses an different Folder for Bootanimation.zip than this rom.
you could try one of these options:
get shure you hav read/write acces to your Root.. (as i described in de Posting before..)
search the "insert coin" thread for Bootanimation.zip
ask in the Thread about the neccesary "Path"
try to download a "change bootanimation" zip from online kitchen or from the forum..
apply the zip via Recovery and if it works !! ... open the zip and analyse the script file (which Path it uses..)
i hope it helps..

CM7 / AOSP Boot sound [working]

Another user asked for this, and I helped him through it, so I decided to post it here so everyone can have access to it. I didn't create the file, just came across it one day being bored..I digress.
Credit to barnacles10 and lithid-cm
*NOTE: Anything in brackets is either description of what is happening or an action you need to perform; don't type in anything in brackets*
What you need to do to get a boot sound on CM7/AOSP is the following.
1. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19699565/bootsnd.sh Apparently some people had issues with the first link, so I uploaded it again. Download that file, place on your sdcard.
2. Take whatever sound you want and rename it to: android_audio.mp3 [needs to be mp3 format] and then place in your adb tools folder.
3. On your phone, open terminal emulator, and type in the following:
su [enter]
cd /sdcard [enter]
ls [to list all files, you should see bootsnd.sh]
sh bootsnd.sh [enter]
You won't see a confirmation, or message, it just runs, and returns you to a # sign.
From your computer, adb push the android_audio.mp3 to the /system/media folder, reboot, and you'll have a sound.
If you don't like / know how to use adb, using root explorer and placing the android_audio.mp3 in the system/media folder works just as well. Reboot, and enjoy your boot sound.
*NOTE*
If you flash / change roms, you'll have to re-run the process to enable the boot sound again. If you get tired of it / don't want it, you can use root explorer and delete the file.
Alternate method:
For those that don't like using the terminal emulator, you can do it via adb:
navigate to your adb folder via commanda prompt, then issue the following commands:
adb remount
adb shell
cd /sdcard
ls [will list files, you should see bootsnd.sh]
sh bootsnd.sh
Like in the emulator, you will be returned with a # sign. Then place the audio file in the folder I specified. Just decided like posting an alt method. Enjoy.

The file should save as a .sh. If it doesn't show up as .sh when you are saving it, save it as all file types, and that should work as well.
If you double click it, it should prompt you with the "no program found...do you want to...blah blah" And it should show bootsound.sh

Well AOSP roms [i.e CM7] wasn't designed to have boot souns, so it probably won't be integrated [my speculation].
And if you ever want to "thank" anyone, at the bottom of every post, you'll see a "thanks" button, and then you have "thanked" them, and the user can see it.

Well if its a zip file. Extract the file, it should be an mp3 inside. Rename that file to android_auido [should have .mp3 extension already].

Ok just tried this without using adb as I think its million times better to just use a ftp app and get this done in seconds. But I dont know why its not working. I check the name to make sure I wasnt putting in the .mp3 twice and for some reason it wont play the file. And its in MP3 format.

I had some that wouldn't play for some reason too. Try a different mp3 file and see id it work. If not did u get the bootsnd file placed on the root of sd card and pushed the file with adb. Or my preferred method terminal emulator.

Really well I actually tried the audio from the driod just to see but I try a couple more. Yeah the problem with using those they are more timely and both USB ports are beyond ****ed right lol.

@pendor24 (For your tutorial --- https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/tuto-custom-splash-screen-s8-sm-g955f-t3623368)
@Redline (for adb)
everyone that ever contributed to this platform
Required:
1. PC with Windows
2. ADB Drivers (https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4623157&d=1540039037)
3. Patience
Steps:
1. Open 1 CMD inside of ADB folder.
2. Type:
Code:
adb shell
Code:
su
(There should be a Magisk pop-up on your phone. Grant it.)
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/platform/11120000.ufs/by-name/UP_PARAM of=/sdcard/up_param.bin
Code:
mkdir /sdcard/up_param
Code:
cd /sdcard/up_param
Code:
tar xf /sdcard/up_param.bin
3. Now, go to your internal storage and you'll find a folder named param.bin. Inside, there are many .jpg. Search the logo.jpg
Using any program, edit it as you like. !!! THE FILE SHOULD NOT BE >400KB !!!
Name it logo.jpg (Just like this. Not anything else).
Copy the logo.jpg on root of your internal storage (not in a folder).
4. Type:
Code:
exit
Code:
su
Code:
cp -f /sdcard/logo.jpg /sdcard/up_param/logo.jpg
Code:
cd /sdcard/up_param
Code:
tar cf - `ls | sort -t.` > /sdcard/up_param.bin
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/up_param.bin of=/dev/block/platform/11120000.ufs/by-name/UP-PARAM
5. If everything worked, there should be no error. Now reboot. The splash is NOT CHANGED YET. Now we'll change it.
6. Download the zip attached.
7. Open it. Inside there is a logo.jpg. Replace it with your logo.jpg.
8. Save the zip. Copy it on your internal storage.
9. Flash it using TWRP.
10. Profit.
I can make custom splash screens for a very small donation (1$). I would like to buy a laptop for college, so everything helps!. Thanks in advance!
Examples

Soon I will post a tutorial on how to change boot animation/shut down animation

Hey, I know that, but I find it useful to make it on PC, because you edit it on your PC, right?. I will post a link to your thread for people who want to use emulator. Thanks again for your tutorial!

Appreciate the offer, but I always make my own stuff. NOW, if you were doing custom boot anim's, we could talk. My animations always look f'd up when i'm done. LoL

There is no need to do the steps to extract logo.jpg from param.
i just flashed my custom logo zip directly from TWRP recovery and changed the bootlogo.
if you want to go back to stock boot splash
either flash stock bootloader via odin or
flash the zip of stock boot splash via TWRP.

For some devices, like mine, the param step is required. IDK why, but glad it works for you anyway!

Superuser one I made, it's pretty minimal and for not having the front and just copy paste-ing it looks pretty good.

Anyone have a note 10 splash for our note 9? just a simple stock note 10 screen without any changes...

Ripped it from a Note10+ splash changer and removed the + and shifted Knox thing over. Might look a little different but should be fine.

Why would you honestly want the note 10 or 10 plus splash screen on a note 9? do you want it that bad but can't really get it that you want to make your 9 seem like a 10 just so you can stop wanting it so bad

Agreed. That's just so weird.
I'm going to buy a Tesla emblem, and go stick it on my nice lil Mazda 3. This way I can confuse myself and others.

Does this work on the unlocked Snapdragon model? (N9600)
Has anyone tested it?

Does this also work on a Note 10+/Exynos with Android 10? Anyone tried it?
In case of a bootloop etc., can I just flash stock bootloader via odin and undo all?
How can I flash the zip without TWRP ? I don't have a custom ROM just Magisk root!
