I just did the 4.010 update and rebooted and so far (aside of netflix STILL not working) its pretty sweet. I was wondering If however anybody could rip the animation from the OEM recovery. I noticed it when I did a reboot how it had the android with the gears and thought it would make a far better boot animation... Any asist would be both welcome and appreciated.
aside form me not understanding your post at first. (i think i get it now) i think this belongs in themes and apps as that is where most of the boot animations are.
Love to see a shot of that bootanime.

you never see it ?
if you put the full 4.010.22 file as update and launch recovery you will get this nice animation
green lined android bot with gear moving inside him...
I wonder where are those animation.
like the one on the samsung galaxy triggering at the shutdown.
Ya, no I've never seen it.
If you find something on the web showing it, can you link me?
This is not a normal bootanimation. Seems the recovery does the work of actually animating the files.
Here are the images though.

I can probably make a bootanime out of that. Thanks for the link.
Okay here is my take on that recovery animation:

Hope it works for you.

I know that the thread is around somewhere but i can't seem to find it, but i really fancy putting that bootanimation of the android hitting the apple sign or maybe another boot animation but have no idea of how to go about replacing the original galaxy s animation with it. Any help would be grateful
Does anyone have the stock android boot animation zip file? The one I'm talking about is the one that says "android" with the glow that goes from left to right. I can't see to find it anywhere. I'm guessing the one I need has to be optimized for tablets.
Thanks!
Edit: Never mind, this thread can be deleted.
Please say if I've missed an old how-to guide specific to the Nexus 4! (A link would be helpful in that case
Is there an easy(ish) way of changing the boot logo? My phone is rooted so that's not an issue, and I have ADB, but I'm inexperienced with it so if the method requires that, please include a detailed guide so that laypeople like me can follow
Many thanks to anyone who can tell me anything here.

Best bet is to get ROM Toolbox- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolboxpro .
It's super easy to use.

except it doesnt change boot logos. its easy to use, just not easy to read
a boot logo is not the same as a boot animation.

I have ROM Toolbox Pro already, and I've used it to change my boot animation (among other things), but I don't think it caters for the boot logo (what is displayed before the animation is loaded). Small difference .
It may have this option and I've just not found it yet, in which case, do you know where to find it? Otherwise, is there another app or method I can use?
Thanks a lot for your answer!

you can not change the boot logo on a nexus 4 unfortunately, its in the same partition as the bootloader and very easy to brick if you mess up. so, at this point, no one has made it possible for us to change it with an app.

Thanks! It's odd though, because stock Nexus Android comes with just a centered white Google logo as the boot logo, whereas my CM has that with a little grey unlocked padlock sign underneath... Maybe they edited it themselves, or it's an Android way of saying the phone is rooted/the bootloader unlocked.

the liitle grey unlocked padlock is visable on any nexus with an unlocked bootloader. on the n5, someone did develop a way to change the boot logo, but i dont think anyone has tried his method on the n4, as it not working could also brick the device. heres the n5 thread for changing the bootlogo, if you would like to test.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/tool-change-boot-logo-images-t2763698
Presumably like all of you who have unlocked your bootloader, I am faced each time I boot with the garbage page with random text telling me "my software cannot be checked for corruption". Can anyone tell me where that page is stored (partition or folder) would be thankful for any information.

Its not random, and if you look closer its a bootmenu. you can get past it marginally quicker by just tapping power button or use it to boot to recovery, fastboot/bootloader, etc.
And you cannot remove it.
You can go back to b20...
@nujackk and @lafester .. Thanks both of you for your comments. @nujackk I accept that the screen is a way of booting into fastboot mode, I just never used it, before I installed TWRP I always used MiFav Recovery to boot into fastboot. I am presuming that the screen is an integral part of the boot image and I shall continue to try and hunt it down.
@lafester as always lol your comment.
If either of you are interested I am just going to set up a new thread in "Themes Apps and Mods" where I shall post 3 flashable zip boot animations and hopefully in the coming days I will add to them.

The screen is part of the bootloader image. I strongly advise you to just live with it since if you screw up the bootloader you're bricked.
Might I suggest you start by looking around in the bootloader unlock zip. Might give you some idea where it is or if it can be removed.
Also look at older list mentioning it, I remember seeing mention of other phones it's been used on, maybe someone has more info in one of those forums.
And I will look for those boot animations. If I can suggest a superman or superAndy would be nice
Good Hunting

I know what you are talking about - on older motorola phones we did away with it - it was just a stored image in those phones. Seeing as how here it is a fully functional menu I would bet any attempt to remove or replace it would most definitely brick the phone. I gave up on it a long time ago.
@lafester .. @nujackk .. @bkores .. @tabletalker7 .. Thanks guys for all your comments - I guess my next step eventually, there is no great hurry for this, is to make certain I have a couple of good backups before messing around with disassembling the bootloader and boot image. If I ever get anywhere with this I will let you guys know.
@nujackk I note your comments re the animations. I'm about to add another Andy animation to the thread but have searched in the past for usable Superman material without much success, however I will see what I can find.
Yeah I haven't seen many that were very good either, but keeping hope alive :fingers-crossed:
I made some new TWRP flashable logo.bins for the Qualcomm E4. They will not work for the MediaTek variant. @KevMetal tested them out below, and reported that they did not work on his XT1762.:crying:
The "N/A" is barely visible. Since we know where to look, it can be faintly seen, but for anyone else, it won't be noticeable.
Feel free to get creative and add to the collection.
Made one from the stock Moto logo. Just added white strips to the top, and bottom, to balance it out. "N/A" will not be visible.
Going to try one on my mediatek
....didn't break anything
buuuuut didn't work on my xt1762 moto e4
:crying::crying::crying:
Could you show me how you made these?? Wondering if I could make some different ones. By the way, good job!

I made a guide here. Everything you need to know.
I will be making some custom logos when I get time, I made a lot of them back when I had the Moto E 2nd gen
Some new ones.
Just flashed the blue one. Very nice. Covers the n/a nicely. Thanks dude.
Can anyone make ones like these from the E2? I tried flashing one and it just shows a black screen with N/A still. Thanks!

Worked perfectly. Thanks!
Why was this thread moved? To Q&A, nonetheless.
Just wanting to let you guys know, I'm on a vzwPerry XT1767 and if you connect via USB to adb and issue 'adb reboot bootloader,' you can then issue 'fastboot flash logo logo.bin' (assuming the 'logo.bin' file is whatever boot logo you want in your ADB directory) and as long as:
1- the file keeps the name, and
2- the image doesn't exceed the size of the original,
it will successfully flash a custom boot logo with a locked bootloader.
IDK if this is already known, but lately I've been doing anything and everything in my power to figure out a root method for this phone, and in doing so I stumbled across this forum and decided to give a custom logo a try. Js,for the record. How this helps\informs!
We have some custom files for mtk variant now if anyone was looking . Come join us and download .

Btw, one more thing, just wanting to get someone to clarify here:
The reason it's possible (even with VZW's permalocked bootloader) - the 'logo.bin' doesn't invoke the TrustZone Kernel security from PBL to SBL1 - SBL3, then on into ABOOT because it isn't part of the 'flashing_critical' or 'preloader\bootloader' parameter\class of partitions ??

This worked great on my Moto G4. I reinstalled the stock firmware so I can sell it, but didn't like the N/A Warning about the device not being trusted. Now it boots cleanly without any silly warning.
The positioning of the N/A on the E4 makes it difficult to cover/hide in a satisfactory manner...unless you use a white background - then it's no problem. However, I prefer a dark/black background. I have not really been happy with any of the boot logos I've made. I think I have a somewhat decent solution, though. I have attached a black template for anyone that's interested. Simply add your own artistic creation and flash your new boot logo. The top is an off-white/gray that mostly hides the N/A, and quickly blends into the black background. For kicks, I've also included another flashable logo.

I ended up figuring it out and making my own. I like the black, due to the brightness of the screen at night but the N/A still shows up on there since I didn't make a white strip at the top. Such a weird thing for Lenovorola to put in. Thanks for making these!

It's not weird, it's on purpose. So they know you unlocked it, since it voids your warranty.
