Splash screens and startup animations

There are plenty of threads for wallpapers and today screen images. Would it be possible to start a thread for custom splash screens and startup animations? I have found a couple that are definite improvements over the stock stuff. Maybe some of the more creative people show off their shoop skills and make some? What does everyone think?

Splash Screen:
If not I have added the tools necessary for it in this:
Download
Quick walkthrough on how to use the tools:
1.Create your own bmp splash screen.
2.Use the tool in folder Number 1 rsbbmp, add the file and convert to rsb format.
3.Open the tool called Splash-RSB Converter Convert and save you should have a .nb file.
4. Open folder labeled Number 2 Use the tool and do da following:
-Target device POLARIS.
-On model ID instead of POLA change to DIAM.
-On version replace the Polaris part to Diamond.
-Leave the rest the same.
On the right side go to: splash and select the .nb file you created.
Hit Build NBH
ALL SET now you have a flashable file.
5. Open the last folder labeled 3.
There you will find the flashing tool.
Its easier and faster(less than a minute) to flash directly from internal memory like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2707841&postcount=4035
Flash and you are done. Like making a little ROM.
PS: If you **** up your device dont blame me all at your own risk.
All credits go to tool creators (you guys kick some serious ass thanks)
Enjoy.

I too think this would be a great idea!!!

Where would I find out how to change it? I have some graphics and sounds that I would like to replace the startup and shutdown with... I just got my Diamond Pro three days ago and can't put it down! lol

I have to be honest, I have no idea about any of the files you posted here. I appreciate the help though. I just renamed the file to welcomehead.192.png and dropped it into the windows folder on the device. Everything worked fine. All of those utilities have me lost. And I certainly dont wanna update my rom and lose all of my information. Thanks bro.

What you basically did is hand us a hammer, a box of nails and some wood and said, here, go ahead, build a house. We're not carpenters.
In less sarcastic words, it would be nice to know how to use these tools...

rename your gif to :animated.gif and put in windows.
use diamondtweak to enable the animation or use totalcomander
and set the registry in:
HKLM\Software\HTC\StartupAnimation:
Code:
Enabled (DWord) : 1
in HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAnimation:
StartupGif:\Windows\animated.gif
this should work

Install Advance confitoguration and change the animation time .

I took the animation from udK's latest ROM and made the T jump, added the diamond and also put the whole process in reverse order. I notice the difference in the black from the diamond surrounding to the rest, now I'm seeing it on my home PC - rather than work. This is not noticed when on phone. But I hope to change this next week.

[MOD] Custom Boot Screen (for Gingerbread ROM's)

Well I had been getting asked a lot lately about the GB ROM's and my original boot screen packages that I had created where I modified a param.lfs to contain no boot image and allowed a script to place whatever image you wanted in it's place for a custom boot logo. In the past I had edited the param.lfs for the AT&T i897 bootloaders which does not work with the GB boot loaders.
This is not the boot animation, nor the kernel logo, but the first logo your phone displays when it's turned on.
Anyhow, I re-wrote the param.lfs to allow a blank for the logo.jpg that Gingerbread calls upon in the bootloader and it works great. So for all of you that used my boot screen package in the past for i897, i9000 and t959 2.1, 2.2 and 2.2.1 ROM's, here it is again for 2.3+ ROM's.
This should also work fine for Vibrant but I will check in case any T959 people are scoping this out.
These will not be compatible with CM7 (due to the proprietary fs used on param.lfs)...
Big thanks to TRusselo for being a BETA tester, tossing in the latest ODIN package and writing the readme as well as contributing the JPEG's offered in the package. I decided to keep the Canadian boot screens for you northern neighbors on the Roger's network up there...
Donations are always welcome but not required, press THANKS, follow me on Twitter or like my cause on FaceBook.

see above...

Done, soft-bricked (Odin failed) but got back into DL mode and re-flashed. I've got the i896 logo up there now.
Thanks a lot!

yeah odin sometimes does that... the newer odin does that LESS.. lol.
i soft bricked a few times using this.
just keep forcing the params until it passes, no need to go back to stock!
with GB button combos, and the soft brick, i found:
Vol Down + USB = Download mode
Vol Down + Pwr = Soft brick screen.
hope that helps.

Just an fyi to anyone not familiar with it, but you will have to make sure you have your screen active when running the batch file so that you can click Allow to the superuser permission request when it attempts to mount the partition.
This wasn't noted in the readme, someone without much experience might miss it.

Just a question but why are there some screens with "AM HUNG" as the name and not Samsung?

When you soft bricked and reflashed did you have to do the whole rom or just this process in particular?

I
have adb installed and working for at least a year now. However, your program just tells me that adb is not recognized as a command. at the end it does say enjoy your new bootscreen and it gives me a screwed up bootscreen. Yes the file is only 96kb and yes I named it correctly. and yes I have usb debugging on and no the phone isn't mounted. I am using mosaic 1. Any ideas?

Have you rebooted the PC? ADB is known to get stuck sometimes. Also retry the process but make sure to close all the adb.exe processes using task manager.

OK I restarted the comp and made sure their were no adb processes running and still your tool does not work it says killing all adb processes and then says adb is not recognized as an internal command. I know adb works because I used cmd:adb devices and it showed my phone. So what is the deal with this program? I am on 7 but I used run as administrator so it should work.

[Q] Need Unlocking Help -Rooting with a Mac/Online Codes Not Working

Yes, I searched. I have a GS2 Locked to Virgin Mobile in Canada.
First off, I have a mac, so the whole rooting/unlocking thing seems to be impossible as ODIN and the other programs are all .exe's.
I tried buying a code online and they said they couldn't unlock it and most others sites don't like the phone as compatible.
What are my options here?
Thanks all.

Borrow a real computer.

to root use this to flash the correct kernel from here
to unlock
I have used Heimdall and it works

I'm struggling here. heimdall doesn't read .tar. I extract the tar and I just get an zimage and nothing more.
It seemed simpler on Odin, but I'm lost on this.

Take tar or the zimage and put it in the kernel slot and hit flash, it's less picky about the file type.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App

I appreciate the help, but it's not that simple. It says firmware.xml is missing when I put it under the load package tab under firmware.
When I put it under the flash tab, it says not a valid PIT type. These are the only two places I can select a file.

could you verify that you have managed to flash with latest version of Heimdall? i have tried everything with beta2, 1.3 and it simply refused to work. i just used a pc to update to latest version, and i have no files to flash to test (it's been one day and if something happens i have to reintsall everything again), so if you could verify this, or teach me a trick or two to get it to work, it will be much appreciated

FWIW, I loaded 1.1 and it was not compatible. 1.2 looked the same as 1.3 for me.

SGS2 has only been supported from version 1.2 onwards, maybe try the newest 1.3 that's just been released.
I have never used it apart from on windows, it looks like you may need to give it a pit before it will do anything.
You should be able to find it in an official rom, when I get home in 4-5 hours ill have a look at it.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App

The screen looks like the ones I posted on 1.3.

Then you will need a pit from a stock rom, might try reading the faq
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App

HOWTO: flashing via Heimdall Suite 1.3.0
1) put your phone into download mode
2) connect to pc
3) load Heimdall GUI
4) click Utility tab
5) click detect device (if it detected goto 6, if not install drivers which should come with Heimdall)
6) click save as under "download pit", save it somewhere easy to find with a name like SGS2 (no need to add .pit)
7) hit download
8) phone will reboot, put back into download mode
9) click "flash" tab
10) click "browse" near the top and select your pit you saved earlier
11) on the righthand side there is a window saying "Partitions(files)" click "add" below it
12) select "kernel" on the lefthand side below "partition details"
13) click Browse below "partition details", select the kernel you want
It should now look like the attached pic
If it does, hit Start, and it should flash

i think problem with mac is still there :
although i have yet to try flash a ROM or parts of it, to see if it could successfully flash it.
EDIT: nope, it does not work , still the same error

Same issue here.
6) click save as under "download pit", save it somewhere easy to find with a name like SGS2 (no need to add .pit)

What I am selecting here? It asks you to DL something.

DOWNLOADS AT THE BOTTOM
READ FIRST THEN DO (Dont do this the first time you read this)
I have made a .zip file so that you can fix your Motorola Atrix 4G Hard OR Soft Bricked!
Steps​
1. Unzip files to a WINDOWS computer with archiving program (archiving program preferred but not required).
2. Not requred to read: READ ME!!!!!!!!.txt if you read this...
3. Install everything in INSTALL ME BEFORE STEP ONE (in bricked folder).
4. Open step one and flash me.
5. Flash 1FF-olympus-user-2.3.6-4.5.141-111212-release-keys-signed-ATT-US-GAS_NA_OLPSGBATTSPE_P012.sbf with RSD Lite (it should say failed to boot 1 when finished).
6. When done go back and open step two, part one, and the Open MAIN and select 1 folders.
7. Open Main and select 1
8. FOLLOW THE STEPS AND IF YOU GET FAILED TO BOOT 0x1000 DO NOT WORRY
9. Go to part two of step one
10. Open MAIN and select 2
11. FOLLOW ALL STEPS (it should say unlocked in the top left corner when done)
12. Go to step three
13. Choose if you want
a. Gingerbread stock no root.
b. Ice Cream Sandwich stock root (YES ICS FOR YOUR ATRIX NOT A THEME)
c. Jelly Bean root (CyanogenMod 10.1)
14. Put the .zip/.zip's in a memory card.
15. Turn on the phone (Power button AND volume DOWN button)
16. Go to Android Recovery and press the volume up button
17.Make a backup to sd card! (nandroid backup)
18. Open install .zip from sd card, select Internal (if its not there its in external)
19. Flash desired firmware (ICS, Cynogenmod, or Gingerbread) and reboot the phone.
On reboot phone will startup by saying unlocked (top left corner) and it will flicker the screen and eventually turn black, BE PATIENT BOOTING YOUR PHONE WILL TAKE A WHILE ESPECIALLY THE FIRST TIME!
NOTE THERE IS A RAMFIX.zip IN THE ICS FOLDER THIS IS FOR IF YOU ARE USING THE ATRIX 4G INTERNATIONALLY (Do not flash if you are in the U.S)
DO NOT USE ON BELL ATRIX THIS IS FOR AT&T ONLY. (sorry the international user thing is misleading, it means for at&t Atrix 4G in international country
NOTE: Carrier does not matter i.e i have a at&t Atrix 4G on T-Mobile... )
Are you tech savvy just switch the roms i provided with any other one (Make sure to follow instructions on how to flash THAT SPECIFIC ROM)
Thats it guys please hit that thanks button (he doesn't bite )

@primus33 So for one its not a paid download (U gotta click on the TEXT...)
and @ravilov cause more problems? you have a CHOICE of ICS or Gingerbread, I do not force you to use ICS,
I simply recommend it over Gingerbread.

[Q] CX919 II Firmware

Hey guys,
Hopefully someone can help me...
Background: I bought this CX919 II, setup the device so that it displays in 1080p, install XBMC, and it only shows 720p. Do a bit of reading and find out that it's probably upscaling and there's a separate 1080p firmware, so of I go...
Problem: So I flash the stick with the steps below, everything seems to go okay, except when I plug the stick back into the tv, nothing happens... How do I get my device back?
1 ) Download Rockchip Batch Tool and extract
2 ) Put the USB cable into theOTG port of the CX919 II, hold the reset button and plug it into the pc.
3 ) Windows looks for driver, I send it to the correct location, it finds the drivers, no problem
4) Add SUPPORTLOWUSB=TRUE and FULLSPEEDUSB=TRUE to the config.ini file (otherwise it doesn't detect the device)
5 ) Start Rockchip Batch Tool v1.7. It finds the device and shows a green box
6) I select the 1080p firmware (which I got here)
7) Click on the restore button and wait patiently for the success message
8) Success message is displayed.
9) Unplug device, plug device into tv
10) Device has power, but tv tells me that there is no device connected.
So, where did I go wrong? And how can I fix the device?
I did manage to get some sign of life by using this firmware (I assume that this is the manufaturer), except all I see with this are just four flashing penguins in the top left corner.
Before it died, this is what the software info looked like..

Hi
I've got the exact same issue as you. After trying to root my CX919 CYX_809III V5_2 I ended up with no HDMI signal :crying:
After downloading (so fare) 10 different firmware, I've only got one of them to show 4 flashing penguins in the top left corner.
Hopefully your linked firmware in post #2 will work. Had difficulty getting the download page loaded, but it seems like I'm able to download now through South Korean VPN.
I guess the file contains only one .img file to be flashed as system file in Rom Flash Tool.
Do you mind telling me what ROM you used to get correct Loader, parameter, misc, kernel, boot and recovery files.
Regards mjolne

If you have any problems, let me know. I'll share it with you via simpler methods.
I didn't use anything special, just used batch tool (which I think is included in the zip) to flash the firmware file, and everything worked.

Stick working again

I have the same one.
Seems to work okay as far as I've seen. Haven't had any problems, although I haven't found many ROM's that actually work for me to compare it to
