Splash Screens are stationary, and do not move. Boot Animations DO move however and are what is displayed after the splash screen.

If you want a custom boot animation, PM me what you are looking for. No promises, as this is not my specialty, but I can certainly give it a shot.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ultra Droid:
Hey man, for it being "not my specialty", you do some mighty fine work. Any way you could do a variation of "HTC Inspire, Rooted, S-Off" with a blue background? The order they appear isn't important, I just wanted to get those three points in as the text part.

Thanks much! :)

-Mike
[HTC Inspire 4G] tribalartgod:
Gotcha covered. I'll take care of it after work, and have it posted up on Flikr with the download link before I hit the bed. Any colors in particular that you are looking for? And what shade of blue? Dark or Light?
[HTC Inspire 4G] jackattack79:
Great instructions...many thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ultra Droid:
Dark blue for the background. Maybe gold for the text.

Thank you VERY much! You da man!

[HTC Inspire 4G] driftkidd2323:
this is a great mini guide! I found the nbimg command here for windows as well, I couldn't find it in my SDK. here!
[HTC Inspire 4G] tribalartgod:
You can copy those nbimg files to your SDK so that you have them for future use. I'll update the OP after work with a downloadable zip that contains these files as well, for those who don't have it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bathnapkin:
Can I ask for you to make this image I put together into a flashable zip for me? My computer gets a little weird when I try using adb.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tribalartgod:
I have this done, but can't upload it til I get home from work. That will be at 6pm EST today. I'll PM you the link once done.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
Can you PM or post it for me too? The HTC quietly Briliant one from the OP too, if it's not too much trouble. I'm having a hell of a time making the P98 zips. :-(

Much appreciation.

Boot animation.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
You will have to find the original HTC splash screen to flash if you want to change the first screen. As far as the second, or boot animation goes, this picture is a single image, not multiple images. There is no animation. As it is right now, if it was used as the boot animation it would disappear in less than a second. There would have to be a lot of things done to make it into some kind of animation.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Hello_Robert:
I've found one that says original.. but cannot get it to take..

Ill just leave as is for now..

Thanks.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
How big is the image? If it is too small then it will not look good if it is resized. Post it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Hello_Robert:
Can this one be put in the boot image plz?

Posted from my Time Machine! :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
This is the best I could do...it got a little distorted when I resized it and I couldn't clean it up much better than this. It would be alot better if you could post a larger image to work with...some of the others more familiar with Photoshop, or any pic program might could do a better job. You may not notice that much once its flashed as your bootsplash. Rename it PD98IMG.zip before you flash it in hboot.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
Nickovtyme you did the best that you could with that small of an image. That is a pretty small image to re size and it is also a low resolution jpeg. Even in Photoshop you can only do so much with that. Like you said, if a larger version can be found then that would be much easier to work with.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Hello_Robert:
Thanks... How big does it need to be?

Posted from my Time Machine! :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
The image you posted is a 240x200 jpeg. It has to be re sized to 480x800. That is a big difference especially in the height. You can try to get as close to 480x800 or if you found a larger size that would always be easier to shrink down than trying to enlarge.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mounttimp:
This would be cool
[HTC Inspire 4G] mounttimp:
Try this one it should be the right format
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:

[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
Can someone make this splash for me? It's oversized (664 x 1204) and, if maintaining aspect ratio, it comes to 480 x 870. I left it at the original size because I wasn't sure if the height would be a problem, or what would get the best results.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
Here it is. This is the full picture just resized. (Forgot to say that she has a little more meat on her in this picture since she got squashed a little.)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
This one is the correct aspect ratio with parts of the picture being cut out and then resized.

[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
OK guys I'm stumped. I'm trying to create my splash screen (from a 480x800 bmp image). I've put the image (named splash1.bmp) into sdk/tools/ along with nbimg.exe. When I run

nbimg -F splash1.bmp -w 480 -h 800

It returns

=== nbimg v1.1
=== Convert NB <--> BMP splash screens
=== (c)2008 Pau Oliva - pof @ xda-developers

[] File: splash1.bmp
[] No padding added. Check file size.
[] Encoding: splash1.bmp.nb
[] Image dimensions: 480x800
[] Adding 0 bytes padding using pattern [0xff]
[] Adding HTC splash screen signature
[] Done!

At this point there is no new .nb file that gets created in /tools to rename to .img. I tried renaming the .bmp to .img after running nbimg (thinking maybe it just changed something in the original file rather than creating a new one), but when flashing the PD98IMG.zip with the new .img I got an error in Bootloader stating Partition Update Failed. What am I doing wrong? Or am I just stupid and nbimg is outputting the new .nb to a new directory?

Texas Longhorns boot splash

Ok, consider yourself lucky. I could not find any image online that was decent quality which would work at this size. Since I did not like what I saw online I just went ahead and created my own graphic from scratch and then also made you a boot splash. If you don't like it...... Well then...... too bad. You are stuck with this. Enjoy. :cool:

(Put the PD98IMG file on your sd card and then flash in HBoot.)

Thanks Thanks Thanks.... I totally HATED the white bootup animation, just installed the HTC Inverted one and its great... again much thanks.

P.S.- Any thought to doing more sports teams... I'd love to see a Buffalo Sabres old school logo rotating on a black screen?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
That sounds like a boot animation if it has movement. The splash screen is the still image before the animation. Post a preview picture to show what you are talking about. (I should really have my own thread, lol.) There is an extra splash screen that I made a while ago that nobody ever picked up. You are welcome to use that one in the mean time. (JK)

[HTC Inspire 4G] chiensibut:
hello i tried to flash it but its just won't read to give me the option volume up to update??:( btw im on nighty CM7
[HTC Inspire 4G] winsettr:
Are you getting an error message? Are you rebooting into bootloader? Are you waiting long enough for the bootloader to scan your SD card? Is the file on the root of the SD card with the correct name?

All are possible problems that would prevent a splash screen from flashing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dark_angelfighter17:
Hboot(Bootloader) fashing how too

imm at work rite now so i cant post a how too link but ill tell you the basics make shure u put it on the root (not in a folder) of ur sd card and restart your phone in bootloader mode (not recovery) make shure before u reset your phone that "fast boot" option is turned off but i dont think it matters. Phone should search for pd98img.zip and ask to start update. it shouldvonly take no more than 10 seconds tovupdate iff that once in bootloader mode. your rom shoudnt matter.
[HTC Inspire 4G] chiensibut:
i know little about basic stuffs like flashing this and that but this one is strange i boot into fastboot it didnt read, i tried to flash using ADB but it said "something FAIL..." no idea now

No. Yes. Yes, long enough to actually use volume up and down to choose the options. Yes, I double checked all that:(

Splash Screen Request

Can you turn this one into a splash screen for me I greatly would appreciate it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
Here is the problem with the images. Although cool, the Windows image is way too wide. If you wanted the whole image to fit it would be squeezed so much that it would look like total garbage. If it was cut, then you would not see most of it. The second GoW image can be re sized to fit but then you have blank areas on the top and bottom. If you cut the image then you can fit the whole size of the screen but you will only see the character in the center with some of his arms cut off. It will also be grainy. I made the GoW image with blank areas so as to keep the proportions correct and I added text to break up the blank areas. Place PD98IMG file on sd card, boot into Hboot, and flash.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Reinaldo33897:
Awesome, thank you I greatly appreciate the trying. I resized the pics and they did not seem to bad to me. Thanks again for your work.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
You are squeezing the larger pictures into a much narrower space. The boot splash can only be 480 pixels wide by 800 pixels high. You may have re sized them but the original pictures you posted were large. Compare the dimensions of your posted pictures with these which have been re sized for the phone. If you want to keep the same proportions of the original picture then it has to be re sized to fit in the new space, which in turn will make the overall size smaller. That Windows picture is just too wide to look good, unless of course you want to hold your phone sideways when booting up. ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] dark_angelfighter17:
diet?

Looks like they went on a diet lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] Reinaldo33897:
Yea looking at them closely they do look bad. I love what you did with the GOW. Can you turn this one into a splash screen for me I would greatly appreciate it as well Thank You.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
Yes, this one is 431x719, so it is much easier to re size without making it too large or small.

Here is the Spidey/Spawn boot splash. Place file on sd card and flash in Hboot.

Hey just wanted to thank you for your work on this thread. I figured out how to make my own splash screen last night. I signed up just to tell you thank you and offer a lending hand in developing, therefore I cannot post thumbnails of my work yet (says I need 8 posts). If anyone needs one made I'll happily get on it for y'all (I'm not the best with PS but I need the practice!) PM me or post here if you want my help. (Not to steal the creator of this forums thunder, just thought maybe he could use a little help here).
[HTC Inspire 4G] dark_angelfighter17:
Hehe, the number of splachscreen developers increases. I remeber when I forst got my Inspire only like, 2 ppl were makiing splashscreens now theres several ppl doin it this is awesome!
[HTC Inspire 4G] joshua54:
Please! Lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bizzle58:
That image has the status bar at the top and is only 120x200. I can make it but it will look terrible! can you save the image to your phone then post it on here? dont take screen shot.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bizzle58:
Screenshot

So I had just registered when I first posted in this thread, now I am finally able to post screenshots!

I will continue to add my splash images here as I create them, (if thats okay with the mods)

here is the splash page I threw together as a tester for my first make. Give me more ideas you want for me to practice with! I'm not creative enough to come up with them by myself.

I've attached the zip's at the bottom of this post! Caro2Panthers.zip refers to the second panthers splash listed here:
[HTC Inspire 4G] joshua54:
Ill try to find something close lol its at the opening of the Carolina panthers app. I search for it though
[HTC Inspire 4G] joshua54:

[HTC Inspire 4G] Bizzle58:
This is it, if you want something changed let me know. I attached the ZIP if you like it. Put it on your sd card, rename it PD98IMG.zip and flash like a radio.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
@ Bizzle58. Here is a helpful tip for you. See about fading out the reflection. It would look much better. As an example, the HTC Inspire 4G looks good except for the reflection layer being too prominent. The opacity should not be that high and it should fade away. Nice job on these. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bizzle58:
Yea I actually undertook these splash screens as much needed practice for my photoshop skills. I've been trying to get tthe reflections down. thanks for the tip
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
Mask the reflection layer and use the gradient tool. Keep practicing. It only makes you better. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
@ Bizzle58. Now that looks more realistic. Nicely done. :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bizzle58:
Well ronin, guess I gotta go fix my last HTC splash's reflections now also. haha

EDIT: I updated the photobucket image and am on the way to uploading the zips to my original post (pg 29). I guess ill continue to add my splashs there as I make them. any one else want one done let me know!

This might be a dumb question but is it possible to use these as a bootanimation?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
Technically, yes. You can use them as a boot animation with some work, but these are still pictures. Nothing is animated so you would simply see the picture there for the whole time the phone is booting. It would be a boot picture just like the boot splash.
[HTC Inspire 4G] joshua54:
