[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?

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.

Android Logo went off center... Would it be possible to readjust the boot animation images so that Android remains at the center of the screen, instead of being at the top?
Also, your boot animation ends a lot more quickly, before the phone gets enough time to boot up. The older boot animation I had posted lasts a lot longer, until phone boots completely... I don't know how it all is supposed to work...

When I try to install it from ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0, the installation has aborted. What's the problem?

The problem is that you have to put it in system/media trough a file manager(like root explorer or es file explorer) and then change the permissions to rw-r--r-- (as said in the first post....)

It's just because the one who made the boot animation didn't make the part which makes the boot animation loop.
Now I'm making one with centered android logo (partly) and loop. Stay tuned. But anyway, I'd like to thank those who brought this awesome animation to P500

Edited boot animation
Now I've made it.
For the first part(spinning CM logo), I have centered the android logo.
For the second part(after everything goes white), I have made it loop seamlessly.

It looks great, although on "weaker" devices is not so smooth, but it is still great tho.

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 ?

Only with custom recovery

[HOW-TO]-[param-mod]-[BOOTLOGO]

[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.

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.

That is true. You can make a request, or give me a pm if you want any help to make one, or if you don't want to share your image with the whole forum.
Sent through time and space from my s3mini/CM11

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:

[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
