[HOW-TO]-[param-mod]-[BOOTLOGO] - Galaxy S III Mini General

[i8190][HOW-TO]-[param-mod]-[BOOTLOGO]
!!Disclaimer!!​You will be responsible for your own work. Don't blame me for anything that might go wrong with your phone.
I've done this and it worked just fine, but then again...i'm not you
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ref. and research:
What is param.lfs, and why do we have it?
Param.lfs is needed for the bootloader to go on with the boot. Inside your phone there's a /lfs-partition which works as a image cache for the bootloader. It contains the bootimages, charging, warning, etc etc.
If image is not there it will fail to boot.
After extracting all images in param.lfs with "param-tools" I noticed there was a difference from the param folder in the phone.
One picture was missing in param.lfs.
In "/mnt/.lfs" there is a "logo.jpg" which is nowhere to be found in param.lfs.
View attachment param-extracted.zip
As you see in the zip, all bootimages are very low-res (96X160) but that "logo.jpg" in device is 480X800 so I realized that it must be created inside device on first boot after flash, somehow rendered from the two low-res images inside param.lfs.
I asked a few friends with L/N-models about their logo.jpg and they confirmed that it was there, but of course with the bootimage for their L/N-model.
I copied the "logo.jpg" from device and dd'd the param-partition from device and started searching for that "logo.jpg"...
This is where my work start.
Ok so we all got it, but it's different for all models, right. What if I change the 640X480 "logo.jpg" from the dd'd param instead of edit the small 90X160 model-specific images that other how-to's and mods suggested, which would have to be done for all models.... A total of six images!
This way, edit one 640X480 "logo.jpg" should make it work on all models, and it did!
So, how do we look whats inside param, and what do we look for?
We have to use a hexeditor to be able to do anything. I used HxD. Other editors work as well, but they have different options for copy/paste etc.
A *.jpg in hex always starts with "FF D8" and ends with "FF D9" (Ref.)
How to do it..​First you'll have to make a "logo.jpg". Choose your tools for that as it will not be covered in this how-to.
Save your created picture as logo.jpg, 480X800, NOT BIGGER THAN 64673bytes. (176241 in octal numbers)
This is only safe with this specific param.(Attached at the buttom of post) Other params may have the picture in different offset.
Open attached param.lfs in HxD.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
We will work with octal values.
Choose edit/select block.
Start:02464000 --> End: 02662240 (The lenght should now be 176241)
Start of block
End of block
Go to File/new. A new empty tab will open.
With the new tab in front -->Edit/insert bytes.
Bytecount must be same as the lenght-value from the block we marked in original param.lfs (176241)
You'll get a notification, just klick yes.
Now we have an empty block in the same lenght as the picture we want to change.
Open your 480X800 logo.jpg in HxD. Right klick/select all, then copy.
Go back to the empty file we made, right klick/paste write. (make sure you runnung HxB in overwrite mode.)
Save it as logo.jpg.
We should now have a new logo.jpg with exact the same lenght as the one in param.lfs.
Copy it the same way we did before, but now you paste write it into the marked space in param.lfs.
Save it as param.lfs and make sure its not bigger than original param.lfs.
You're done!
Now you can open (not unzip) the attached cwm-zip and overwrite the param.lfs in there, and flash in your custom recovery.
The one inside is an inverted i8190 stock image. Black on white background.
Some of the params I've made so far. Here you'll also find odin flashable params if anything goes wrong. Download mode will still be accessable.
I believe this should work for other Samsung devices as well, with their specific param, and the right offsets for that param.
Thanks to @ketut.kumajaya for param-tools, @DemonWav for reference for where to start.

Same procedure, different values..

Haha. I'm no hex guru either :silly: Still learning.
I'll see if I can make one with Bless Hex Editor in linux and make a how-to for that also

Glad to know, as a reference my script useful here. How about creating a param.lfs as a base for param-tools, so no need any hex editor for a different boot logo.

Yes, param-tools is really a great tool Thank you for that!
I do't know much about scripts but it's a good idea
Do you mean like put the param and new logo.jpg in a folder, run a command to insert it to param?

Hello tys0n, any chance I could get you to PM me an odin or cwm flashable param.lfs for the T599n? I am trying to get Cygwin / param tools to work but my system just isn't up to the task. Greatly appreciated and keep up the great work!

Hi. I think I only got a param for T-Mobile.
T599n is metro, right?
If yours is fine then maybe you can make a backup, zip it, and attach it here so I can take a look at it

I will update this guide soon! I'm now using "010 Editor" which is both powerful and available for windows, osx and linux. I will add empty templates with correct fileize where you can just paste/overwrite with your new image. I will add values for all i8190-models and SGH-T599 models. If you got more ideas, please send me a pm and let me know.

@tys0n maybe you can adapt also this way to do the logo changes: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2529133

Thank you so much for this tutorial! :laugh:
now i'm able to put my own photo as bootlogo :victory:

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.

[TUT][RHOD] How to create custom boot splash? [UPDATED 04-06-2011]

I have written a batch file for this, so that it takes minimal user input. This tool is only for Touch Pro 2, both GSM and CDMA.
DOWNLOAD TOOL
DOWNLOAD the tool from up there, and extact the folder. Put the folder where ever you want. Then run BharS_Splash.cmd. Choose between CDMA or GSM (c or g (case sensitive)), and your splash screen will be created in nbh format, which can be flashed to your device.
You have to do the below steps to get going.
[/quote]
Extract folder to anywhere you want in your PC.
Grab the pic you want.
Trim it to size 480x800 (WVGA).
The convert it to bmp using MS paint or something.
File should be 24-bit bmp format in order for the below code to work. So save file as 24-bit bmp format.
Rename the file to "Splash.bmp" (Name is real important, if the bmp file is not correct, then the tool wont run)
Now start BharS_Splash cmd prompt
Enter c for CDMA splash screen and g for GSM. Case sentitive
Don't not use this if you don't know what the heck you are doing! Don't hold me responsible if you brick..
Here are some custom boot splash screens. Do let me know if you were able to use it. I have also attached the tools, just for lazy people like me! LOL

Just a comment, maybe it's obvious to everyone, but custom boot splash = very first screen seen after a reset. The subsequent screens, both static and dynamic, can be simply created the correct size and format and put in the \windows directory. So if you want to change the ugly orange windows screen that's shown about ~10s, you can just create a bmp for it.
Thanks for the guide though, good info! It's fun to have a consistant boot splash/loading page/today theme.. It looks like it's "on" from the start.
Cool
Thanx buddy
i keep getting an error reading could not open my.bmp
any idea why?
this is my command
c:\users\paza\splash\nbimg.exe nbimg -p 18400 -w 480 -h 800 -F splash.bmp -D RHOD10000
inside my folder intittled "splash" i have
nbimg.exe, splash.bmp, and custon ruu
i'm running windows 7 and used paint to make the bmp
Do we need to HardSPL unlock first or will the RUU flash fine on it's own?

Not sure why it wont run. I have the same things, but using XP. I havent tried this in Vista. Maybe it has to do with admin settings or something...

Yes I would think so. If you still have stock ROM and no HardSPL, then why bother changing boot splash? Just enoy your stock ROM LOL.

what ended up doing was
typing CD C:\SPLASH + ENTER key to change the command from
<C:\Users\PAZA> to <C:\SPLASH>
( i saved the folder i was working in diretly to C: drive)
<C:SPLASH>nbimg.exe (only type nbimg.exe) +ENTER key
then type nbimg -p 18400 -w 480 -h 800 -F splash.bmp -D RHOD10000 + ENTER key
done...... ow goto the folder and you will see a .nb and a .nbh
check the dimensions of the .nb for size in parenthesis, it should say 786,432 bytes! if it does you goto next step, if not you did something wrong (probably the image you used)
if it is, take the .nbh file copy it in the same folder as custom ruu you got from the first post
now flash
i'm trying to find a good image to use as the orginal t-mobile splash, so if anyone has it let me know
here's an image i LOVE using
at the top i just put my name and number

EXACTLY what I was looking for! Thanks!
BTW - I had to use NBHUtil to specify both the splash AND subsplash because I could still see the "Touch Pro 2" screen (with red text at bottom) after my custom screen.

Once you have my theme, no needs to follow my Tuto as i already coded the xml for the lockscreen
You only need a picture 480 x 800
Open my zip file theme with 7zip and drag the picture in :

Then go back and 7zip will ask you to apply the changes on the apk.
All done, enjoy it!

Enjoy it
Thank you
I was wanted to know this tip.
I'll be make my theme apply this tip.
tried to change picture on LeeDroid 3.0.2 and stuck on splash screen
This is cool, but will it have to be changed every time you change your wallpaper? And on a completely unrelated note, do you have a Lion cub as a pet? (looking at the lock screen and one of your home screens)

If you are stuck on splash screen, must be something wrong during the compilation of the apk _ did you tried to modify *.png9 files as well ?

Unfortunately, until some dev with free time wants to launch an app' for that, yes, we will need to changed the background _ only the background as the setup @drawable/whatever you named your picture.png doesnt change.

Try again with the correct file, follow the steps and everything should be fine as it working for me and many people more

Of cause, kernels don't support different file systems...
Lol...I just started making script...here.But you finished it here perfectly with many devices supported .Good to see it.Let me see If I can anything better

Just a little idea for you...If you make an empty data partition too,You can make sure that the rom does a factory reset while its been flashing

I do not quite understand what you mean, but in order to reset a user's data is sufficient to add to the cache.img command wipe data...

Please can you help a noob - ROM seems extremely small
Hi I have been hunting for a tool to do a "complete" backup of my S3 so I can restore it in one go after playing with other ROMS and get back to Stock easily. So seeing this looked fantastic. I have run steps 1 , 4 and 10 .
The ROM i get is only 27,161 KB , and as the stock rom I flashed was over 1 gb I wonder if I have done something wrong and I am afraid to try flashing this with Odin . Especially when I did a NANDROID Backup from S3 Toolkit and this is 1.6gb .
Any advice would be well received .

You forgot step 5! configure tool, compile and install zlib and compile ext4_utils, and got empty image system.img...
is there a chance of a port to cygwin?
I like how the title says it supports any device and then the first post says it supports less than 10 devices.
Creating .tar.md5 will create images that increase binary counter ?
Edit:
Only with custom recovery

Hi and thx for a great tool
1. Any chance when I run 6. that it stops when it is mounted and I can edit/add content in the output.img before it creates a system.img?
Would be nice to be able to edit before system.img
2. Possible to edit a factory system.img that I have on pc?
Thx for your time

[MOD] SM-A520F [BootLogo]

Hi! I havn't seen any custom boot logos for A 2017 series yet, so I thought I could start.
!!THIS IS ONLY FOR A520F!!
It's all based on work from @moluntic (Thanks for awesome script) Check out original thread and read about how to recover if anything goes wrong, and give him a thanks! Also thanks to @bassbounce for confirming param location.
I don't own this device myself so I havn't been able to test, but I've done the same for A310F without any trouble.
Files are double checked and should work fine.
This partition is not included in official samsung updates so I include it as a tar,md5
Original param.bin :View attachment SM-A520F-Param.tar.zip
Unzip and flash tar.md5
I also include stock bootlogo as flashable zip.

awsome work bro,keep improving
Very nice, good job!
Great, thank you.
If I want to use your zip on my A3 (A320FL) I just need to replace the picture with one that's for my resolution or there's something else to change?
I understand that you've used it on MM.

Yes, it should be fine just replacing the logo.jpg inside the zip. The path to param should be the same.
It should also work fine on both MM and N.
Make sure that it has same resolution, dpi etc as the original logo in param partition, otherwise you'll only be able to boot to download mode.
Another thing to keep in mind is to keep filesize small. Original logo is only about 44kb.
I make my 720x1280 logos with max size 130-150kb for A3(16). This makes it somehow limited since you need pretty high compression. Easy to get banding on gradient etc. If I make them bigger I sometimes get troubles with random reboots.
It's also a good idea to keep a tar'ed param.bin to flash in odin in case something goes wrong with the new logo.
It have saved my phone more than once

I've just tried it, original has 720x1280, 96dpi, 24 bits image and is created using PS CS6, and mine logo, for some reason (even though all the stuff is the same, except that it's 20kB), results in black screen and soft brick... Odin surely saves lives.
Any idea what went wrong?

All the specs seem to match so.. hmm.. only thing I can think of is if the image is saved as progressive.
You get any option for normal/progressive in save dialog? Try non progressive.
I've used gimp and corel paintshop pro and they both got that option.

Awesome work !
@tys0n - I can't get these files to work.
I want the hollow boot logo. Pretty sure I'm missing something but can't think what!!
I have flashed the file through TWRP, but the original logo appears.
I have tried ODIN flashing param.bin then TWRP flash logo zip, but again...nothing.
Any help?
