Hi guys I just bought a Chinese Threecar PX6 4+32 HU
OS: KC1E0105-P0G-1.1.4.3.1_Blink 161_20200104_N3 - Treecar - NO DSP
MCU: STM32 - 20191028
Was wondering if anyone knows how to flash custom boot image (not bootanimation)
Bootanimation (the one after the splash image) was easily flashed using adb push .zip file into /system/media
but not for the initial boot logo (aka splash image)
The HU comes with a stock system app CarLogoSelect where there is a selection of splash image logos to choose from, but there isnt a logo for my car make.
I couldn't locate these compilations of logos using file manager
However I did find a file named logo under /dev/block/by-name/logo and another exact same logo file under /dev/block/properties/(folder with some code- sorry i forgot)/by-name/logo
these logo files do not have extensions, but i could copy them and rename them into .bin or .mp4 (or possibily any video file extensions) and play them using VLC on my PC.
the files would be played as a video of a single image, the image that I chose from the aforementioned CarSelectLogo.
So i figured the CarSelectLogo app must be flashing a new logo file into /dev/block/by-name everytime i pick a new logo using the app.
I am thinking if:
1) i could copy my preferred logo to the compilation of logos and hope that CarSelectLogo app can detect it, so that I can flash it using the app.
2) I could manually flash my preferred logo into /dev/block/by-name/
(but then again i do not know the format of the original logo file in /dev/block/by-name)
Thanks in advance for any help/tips/advice! Also I realised many Chinese Android HU uses this system - having an app to select logos from OR having an option to select boot logo at Factory Settings. So even if you are not using a PX6 STM32, your input might be helpful!! Thanks!
I just posted a full tutorial, along with a utility for doing this here.
I also bought a Chinese unit recently with the same feature, all I had to do was to add an image with res 1024x600 to an USB flash drive and connect it, after about a minute the app loaded the image in the usb drive.

Tried that and it didn't work. i even made sure the file was in .bmp format and 32 bit depth (like the stock ones)
Any other specific steps you took after pluggin in the usb? Maybe my HU doesn't support flashing via usb hmm

Hello guys!
OK, so here we go. I installed CM12 official nightly on my samsung galaxy s4 GT-I9505 and i wanted to change the boot aninmation, normally a simple task. so I installed the disco ball boot animation from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2334927
this worked totally fine, but i decided to make the bootanimation a little bit more personal, so i went to photoshop and eddited all 30 PNG files, put it back together as a bootanimation.zip and installed it in my phone.
now when i go to the theme engine in CM12, and i go to my current theme (the original cm12 theme) and i preview the bootanimation, it shows my own made animation perfect, but when i restart my phone to actually view it, it becomes just a black screen
Download This is the original discoball bootanimation.
Download This is my own one. (i know its not much but i would like to have this one)
and yes i did change the permissions.

Fix the following problems with your zip and the boot animation will work properly.
1. You have a "thumbs.db" file in your personal version of the boot animation. Remove this.
2. When you made the zip file, you compressed the images within it. In order for a boot animation to work the images within it must be stored in an uncompressed form. For example, WinRAR has a setting titled "Compression Method". You would set this to "store".

thanks man, i dont know how that thumbs.db file got in there but it works fine now, thanks!
Windows automatically drops them into every location that has a picture or document. It is possible to disable this behavior, by following the instructions here.
Hi,
is there a way to change the boot animation in xdauto 1.6.2c ? I would like to see my Chrysler car logo animation.
Thanks in advance
any luck with that yet? been thinking of changing the boot animation too.
Well, I have gone through a series of trial and error, and have successfully gotten my own created boot animation to work. However, I havent figured out the max resolution I can use (my animation looks to small from the one I originally created. Using xdAuto, the current boot animation resolution is at 480x292. Anything bigger than that, causes a black screen during the boot process (or at least this is what I've led myself to believe, if anyone finds anything different please update let us know.) Although I was under the assumption that I could use 1024x600 but my animation won't work if I use this big of a resolution.
It goes basically like this:
1. on your computer - Create a new folder and rename it to bootanimation
2. Create a folder inside bootanimation called part0 (you can add more parts if you wish increasing by increments of 1. part1, part2, part3, etc.)
3. in the part0 folder, make sure all images are in the same format. I used .png format, and make sure the pictures are in order, eg. 00000.png, 00001.png, 00002.png, etc. (You are essentially making a slideshow that plays at a max of 30 frames per second)
4. Install "boot animation creator." You can google for this or search for it here on XDA. (I cant post urls yet.)
5. open boot animation creator, follow the prompts to make your boot file, don't forget to add a loop when that section comes up for making your bootanimation.zip file.
6. place your bootanimation.zip file in your android HU (I'm using a carpad III).
7. (root required) go to the root of your Android HU/carpad. Go to this path /system/media
8. make a backup copy of the current bootanimation.zip file and place it in a safe place.
9. copy and paste your created bootanimation.zip file in /system/media
10. reboot, if done correctly you should see your new bootanimation.
Hope this helps.
Update: So my main problem, was that root browser was giving me a "operation failed" error. Its strange because sometimes it would let me write to the /system/media
folder. I was able to get a 819x432 bootanimation.zip to write. But now for some reason I can't get anything else to write to it... very strange. I am pretty sure that the max resolution for bootanimation.zip for Carpad II / III is 1024x600, getting it to write when I want it to is the issue I am having now.
Okay, well I found out why I was getting the write errors. Well, at least this worked for me.
I went into SuperSU, settings, and unchecked Mount namespace sepraration.
This allowed me to write my bootanimation.zip file to the /system/media/ folder.
I was also able to use my original 1024x600 bootanimation.
Hope this helps.
Hello all,
i have 10,1" YT9216C head unit and Im missing the Chrysler logo at the startup.
Animation is OK and its work for me, Im able to create many animations, but the first LOGO i cannot change.
There is the MENU to change it I dont know the format of the graphics and how to prepare it. (see the second picture and the logo menu)
Is there any experience about the LOGO format (ppm,AI,png?), size (1024x600), zipped file, specific name, etc? How to proceed it?

1) Logo: Any specific filename? zipped format needed???? Because the device doesnt see the PNG file on UDISK....
2) Animation: Use Ypur own(shorter, longer, fast whatever...) Im simply using video2jpeg converter and Boot Animation Factory developed here on XDA.
That means the black screen is also animation

*.bmp format is working for me!!!! Chrysler start-up logo created, downloaded and working.
LogoBulder SW is not necessary for these familiy of head units.
Thank You!!!

Hello everyone! I need someone to help.

This is the documentation on the format. Boot animations
Start simple until you get something working.
There are basically two types, windowed or full-screen.
Watch out for the "gotcha": nothing in the zip file can be compressed (the PNGs are already compressed).
Go and look at the bootanimation.zip that you already have.

Hi Renate, thank you for your advise. I found my bootanimation.zip in system file, I have tried to save my new bootanimation.zip into system file, but it is not works, because I didn't get root rights.
