Thank you very much for your time! I can't seem to get the boot loader to see it however :( I have been able to do this in the past, and just tried a few random ones in the forum. I was able to get a few random ones working just now, and am not sure what I happen to be doing incorrectly with this one. It is on the sd root (I also made sure that it is the only PD98IMG.zip there), but when I reboot into boot loader I never get the installation for it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sharksfan7:
The archive is created incorrectly. If you open the archive you'll see that the files are contained in a folder named PD98IMG. The splash1.img file and android-info.txt need to be the only items in the zip and not contained in a folder.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nordrith:
Thank you for the quick reply, I didn't even notice that earlier. I got it working now. Thanks to both of you!
[HTC Inspire 4G] sebo1084:
Whoops. Thanks sharksfan
[HTC Inspire 4G] TheGoldfish:
Kind of an odd request. But can you make me a splash screen that has the Pepperidge Farm Goldfish on it, and above him it says TheGoldfish in the same font as on the goldfish cracker packages? Also, a white background. It would be awesome if you could. Thanks. :)

Something using this logo.
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
Here is just a rough edit of what i have so far. let me know if i heading in the right direction. Haven't yet found a font that is close enough to the one on the packages. The goldfish part is from an actual package and just edited to fit. i also found a few other goldfish pics that you might like as well.
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
Hey guys, just a question..I tried making my own boot splash, but always fails and the reboot. I only see a buncho lines all blurred....is it possible to convert this into a splash image that works? and just for curiosity where I am going wrong??

P.S.: I converted to a .bmp file with dimensions of 400x800 in order to flash it...

thanxs very much.
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
Its suppose to be 480 x 800
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
ahh that was....ok I will try that...thanks very much!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] TheGoldfish:
i like how it looks so far. :) and that first pic of the 2 other goldfish's is nice too, the more realistic one. the more cartoony one is kind of eh.
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
I changed the size to 480x800 and when I try to flash it, it prompts partition fail...

I can't actually find what I am doing wrong.

Checked everything, but I cannot make it work...leave the file I am trying to flash..thanks again!
[HTC Inspire 4G] sharksfan7:
I converted your splash1.img back to bmp and the image wasn't right. Not sure why. So I resized the original you posted to 480x800 and converted it. Flashed to my phone and it worked.
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
sharksfan7, You rule buddy....thanks very much. I have just updated my bootsplash!...:D
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
I got as close as a font as i could find. Did two one with your original pic, and one with the more modern version i posted earlier.
[HTC Inspire 4G] TheGoldfish:
the modern one looks great! The only thing is there is a line under the part that says The. You think you can fix that? If not its cool. It still looks great.
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
Did not see that. All fixed
[HTC Inspire 4G] TheGoldfish:
Looks awesome now! Thanks. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] dj sampson:
Took me a little while to put this one together. But not bad for my first boot splash.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dj sampson:
thought id throw this on out too
[HTC Inspire 4G] TheGoldfish:
freaking awesome!!! can someone make a PD98IMG file of that Optimus one?
[HTC Inspire 4G] dj sampson:
Goldfish if your phone is rooted download BootFlash pro. Its $.99 on the android market. If you have an inspire 4g its a one touch boot splash app. You click on it pick a photo from your gallery and boom your done. Worth the $.99.
[HTC Inspire 4G] TheGoldfish:
Sweet, thanks. i'll try it out.
[HTC Inspire 4G] itechscs:
Could you try this one please.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sharksfan7:
Here you go. Hit the Thanks button if it works for you.
[HTC Inspire 4G] inspire4gfreak:
^ wow, I have to thank you for this too
[HTC Inspire 4G] maskaros:
hey! i'd love to get this pic...if it needs to be a different size let me know and i'll dl another one. thanks so much in advance!
[HTC Inspire 4G] maskaros:
Thanks you very much.

splash problem

I feel kinda strange when i got only half what you guys talk, and this is why i need help.

I have problem with 2nd step ( Place the PD98IMG.zip on the root of your SD card) of applying splash screen. I just can't find root folder on my SD :-(

Currently i use Energy rom on Inspire 4G.
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
The root folder is just in the SDCARD at plain sight. not in any other sub folder....you just get the file and put it in the sdcard in the main folder....hope it helps....:D
[HTC Inspire 4G] withoutnickname:
So basically look like I just have to make that folder, cause I don't have it :-) Am I right ?

Just read it again. Think I got it. Open SD and put file there :-)
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
Yeah that's it. Open SD and just put it there....then reboot into bootloader and choose fastboot and let it prompt you for the update...hope it works!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Reinaldo33897:
Can someone creat a bootsplash of this image for with no text on it. I would greatly appreciate it. THX
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
Reinaldo, I can't download the image in the real size....if you send me the pic I will create the PD98IMG.ZIP file...:cool:
[HTC Inspire 4G] Reinaldo33897:
Sent THX link below as well.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/39375693/Chain_The_Beast.jpg
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
I have just sent you the .zip file....just try it and let me know!

I leave you the link here as well...

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/30674730/PD98IMG.zip
[HTC Inspire 4G] Reinaldo33897:
flash failed I will take a look tomorrow on it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
Sorry I missed a step...here you are. Enjoy (I have just tested it in my phone and works!)

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/30674730/PD98IMG.zip
[HTC Inspire 4G] Reinaldo33897:
Worked Beautifully
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
Great...enjoy it :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] TheShadowZero:
Normally I would do this kind of thing myself...but for some reason every time I flash it the image looks completely wrong (it's gray and staticky and looks like it's layered on top of itself...pretty awful).

I've tried everything I can think of but for some reason it just won't work, I even tried converting with ffmpeg instead of nbimage. So, if you don't mind, could you make this for me? Since I can't do it myself? Thank you so much! Keep up the good work :)

EDIT: also added the PD98IMG.zip I used the last time, if you wanted to take a look to see wtf I was doing wrong, so I don't have to bug you anymore to make new splashes :P
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
If you can wait, tonight I will have a look at it when I get home!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] TheShadowZero:
Yeah take your time! thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
I just got home, so I didn't test it. Let me know if it worked....:)

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/30674730/PD98IMG.zip

EDIT: I have just tested it....works great....enjoy it!
[HTC Inspire 4G] TheShadowZero:
Ahh thanks! It works perfectly! I would hit the thanks button but I hit my limit for today. Appreciate it!
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
haha Don't worry...enjoy it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] maskaros:
anyway i can get this picture? let me know if another size is needed.
[HTC Inspire 4G] maskaros:
Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] hotrodwinston:
Free thanks to whoever can do this one for me!

Double thanks if you can make a boot animation in the radiation theme!

The yellow and black matches my case.

Thanks in advance!
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
Here you go. Pick was a little small, but managed to find a bigger one an edit it down to size
[HTC Inspire 4G] hotrodwinston:
Hate to complain about free work but when I flashed it turned out bright blue and slightly broken! It actually looks good but it doesnt go well with my yellow case.
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
no sure what happend but it took three tries of the same steps for the yellow to stick. maybe it has to do with the new version of gimp im using. but anywho. this one should work tested it on my phone
[HTC Inspire 4G] indoz:
Could someone please do this for me? Having issues with ADB lol...
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
here you go. tested on my phone
[HTC Inspire 4G] indoz:
Thank you kindly!!! Much appreciated.:D
[HTC Inspire 4G] hotrodwinston:
Thanks! Works great!
[HTC Inspire 4G] jonbus:
Hi!

My 2 cents....
[HTC Inspire 4G] maskaros:
Hm, not sure what happened but the colors are inverted :confused:

Anyhow, it needs to be football season again and I'd like to rep my team...would you mind doing this one lol?:)
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
UGH! this is confusing I have no idea why they are coming out inverted. Ive been doing these the same way for ages. Only thing that has changed is ive updated to gimp 2.8 but the settings are still the same. ill have this done in a few

Edit-Here the FIU logo. tested it on my phone and first shot works so dont know what i did wrong before
[HTC Inspire 4G] maskaros:
No worries man, thanks again.

EDIT - Works like a charm.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cmdru1980:

[HTC Inspire 4G] orbhunterx:
Hey, I made my first splash1.bmp but can't get adb to find the nbimg code to convert it.

Could you please make the following bmp a flashable img?

http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc160/orbhunterx/splash1.jpg

I'm running a rooted HTC Inspire with Cyanogenmod 7.2 if that makes a big difference with the process of replacing the stock splash screen.

That being the case, which method for my droid would be best to replace the splash screen with my own?

Appreciated!
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
Are you sure you have the nbimg file located in where your trying to find it?

Here you go
[HTC Inspire 4G] orbhunterx:
I did a search of the whole hard drive for the nbimg file with no luck found.

sdk is installed and adb is functional otherwise.
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
Have u placed the splash1.png file in the tools folder of SDK? then if you are using windows 7 the .nb file should be located in the appdata/TEMP/virtual machine folder n your hard drive...
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
did you download the nbimg file in the first post and place it in the tools folder of the sdk?
[HTC Inspire 4G] orbhunterx:
I happened to luck into finding Android Flasher in a different section here in the forums, installed, flashed, and wala... badass new splash screen!

:cool:
[HTC Inspire 4G] Reinaldo33897:
Can someone convert this picture and and make it a flashable boot splash or simply just convert it into a .img

http://www.filefactory.com/file/2aatsbilhyyh/n/splash1_jpeg
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
Just give me a few hours...tonight I will do it...:D
[HTC Inspire 4G] sharksfan7:
Okay. I have no idea why the file didn't attach properly. And since glevitan made one that works, no point in me trying to fix it. Attachment removed.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Reinaldo33897:
Sorry bro but link shows broken and barcode says 404 not found. Can you upload somewhere else.
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
Here ya go....hope it works...just let me know...

WOW that was quick. Thanks alot.

Just wanted to share these, in case anyone else may want to use them.
[HTC Inspire 4G] pitastrudl:
Hi, i just went step-trough-step trough your guide and i cant figure out, why the image wont open. I saved it in paint, in photoshop, (bitmap24) and it just wont open.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sharksfan7:
From looking at the screenshots, it looks like you're not entering the correct path to the splash1.bmp. From the command you entered it's trying to find the .bmp in C:\Users\arin (or whatever your username is). But the file splash1.bmp is located in C:\android-sdk-windows\tools. Try moving the .bmp to your user directory or enter the command like this:

nbimg -F C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\splash1.bmp -w 480 -h 800
[HTC Inspire 4G] nickdoherty:
This is what I came up with today, and am now using.

[HTC Inspire 4G] FiniteDGk:
I'm guessing requests aren't still being taken?
[HTC Inspire 4G] sharksfan7:
If you have an image you want to use, I can convert it and create the flashable zip for you.
[HTC Inspire 4G] JustPlayingHard:
where can i get the stock stock htc boot logo when you brought the phone directly from htc??

T-Mobile is annoying
[HTC Inspire 4G] sharksfan7:
A couple of pages back I posted the stock splash screen.

little help or advise plz. when i try to convert my bmp file I get the error " Could not open ' splash1.bmp' the file is a 24 bit w480h800. I using windows 7
[HTC Inspire 4G] tribalartgod:
When you are in the command prompt to convert your file, what is the exact command string you are typing?
[HTC Inspire 4G] inspired55:
nbimg -F splash1.bmp -w 480 -h 800 . I just copied and paste.
[HTC Inspire 4G] DarkShadowMX:
Thank you, it worked without any problems =) Here's the splash screen i made for me, in case anyone wants it. It's Shadow the hedgehog ^^ Got the original from here: http://images.google.com/search?hl=...hadow_the_hedgehog_by_MRi&aq=f&aqi=&aql=f&oq=

PD98IMG and original JPG are attached to the post.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tribalartgod:
Well...Multiquote doesn't work...awesome!

@inspired55 ...what software did you use to save the image? Try to resave with either PhotoShop or Gimp... If that still doesn't work for you, send me the bmp file, and I'll see if I can reproduce the error on my end.

@DarkShadowMX ...looks great! thanks for sharing. :-)
[HTC Inspire 4G] inspired55:
Got it working thanks. used jasc paint shop first time redid with PhotoShop came out great. I'd post the thumbnail if I knew how so i'll attach it for you to view if you like. Thanks to MudKnot for the death star.
[HTC Inspire 4G] iRootAll:
I would like to create a splash screen for my business. Right now I am just using my business card as the splash. Do you have any insight on a program to create images? I know how to make the splash screen but the image is another story. Any help would be great, Thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] inspired55:
Ok here's splash screen in thumbnail. Your techniques are awesome thanks again to You & Mudknot
[HTC Inspire 4G] tribalartgod:
If you are looking for a program to render a random image for you, that won't happen.

Now...if you are looking to design your own splash screen, I would suggest using either PhotoShop or Gimp. Simply because of the versatility of the two. Most of the Splash screens that I make are at least 6 layers. That way any one thing can be changed quickly and easily without effecting the rest of the image.
[HTC Inspire 4G] iRootAll:
Thanks for the info, I already have ps cs5 and gimp on ubuntu so now I guess I need to learn how to use them ha ha.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tribalartgod:
If you want the REALLY FAST crash course, use PhotoShop Top Secret. It's a DVD set that will teach you some really sick stuff. Click by click.

Here's the link: http://www.photoshoptopsecret.com
[HTC Inspire 4G] iRootAll:
Awesome, thanks a lot
[HTC Inspire 4G] Chrisj7:
IF this is too much to ask, it's alright but can you make a dark version of gingerbeast, like a dark background and white lettering?

Edit: without the by: dil

Kind of drives me away from the splash incase i might use a diff rom.
[HTC Inspire 4G] winsettr:
Just flashed the inverted HTC splash, so simple yet so great (rebooting at night always blinded me...). Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] tribalartgod:
Sure can. Give me a couple days if you would please. Got a lot going on lately, and trying to get all caught up. Should be done by the end of the weekend at the latest.

Glad you like it. :-) I never really was a fan of a super bright white screen at night either. lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] REDFOCZ:
Thank you so much for doing this! I'm running the h t c inspire girl one and I was able to flash it through the fast boot screen. But when I tried to go through the command line in flash it through fast boot i just got stuck waiting on image
[HTC Inspire 4G] tribalartgod:
When you tried to flash it from the command line, via fastboot, did you extract the splash1.img file from the zip?

If not, you must extract that file from the zip first. Place that IMG file in the tools folder, then run the following command.

fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img

Hope this helps. If not, PM me, and we can work out the issue.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sheanzyy:
Thanks OP!

I was wondering if I could request a flashable.zip splash with a Modern Warfare 3 theme.

Maybe something like:

I'd much prefer this one:

Hook this CoD Fanboy up :).
[HTC Inspire 4G] tribalartgod:
Gotcha covered. And to everyone else requesting Splash's as well. I should have EVERYONEs requests taken care of within the next 24 hours. Got all my craziness taken care of and ended up wiping my hard drive last night.. So I'm good to go now. :-) I'll get on all these requests after work today.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sheanzyy:
I appreciate it!

It would be sick if I could manage a boot animation out of MW3. Sort of like the animation seen in this teaser video at :25 seconds-- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_7_dYWMsL0

Any advice tribalartgod?
[HTC Inspire 4G] tribalartgod:
PM'd you. . . . . .
[HTC Inspire 4G] ashies7:
I was wondering if you'd be intrestered in making a boot splash for me. But i was wondering if you have the vivaldi font on your pc. Its the one i like the best for what i'm wanting written on it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sousabone3:
So im making my own (thanks very much to your instructions) splash screen. I would like have a backup of just the original splash screen itself just in case. I will make a nandroid bkup b4 of course, but rather than having to do a full restore, I think it would be much simpler to simply flash the original, agreed? Whether the "original" is actually copied from my phone or built to serve as the "original", I dont really see how it would make a difference. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I would normally go hunting myself (although im sure I still will) but I wont have the time until tomm. Soooo I thought I would throw this out here and see what I can get from the experts? Thank guys
[HTC Inspire 4G] driftkidd2323:
I need the original if possible, please and thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] PerksWV:
Gingerbeast Splash?

Tribal - I saw that you mentioned in the Gingerbeast ROM forum that you were planning to work up some alternate splashes for it. Any best guess at an ETA for the alternates? I'm using your original splash now but was itching for a change.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tribalartgod:
I was hoping to have had them done by this past Monday. Unfortunately that didn't happen, as you already know. LOL. I "hope" to have them done by this Friday sometime. I'll PM you the links the moment they are done. :-D

EDIT: I'll be dropping 5 new Splash screens for Ginger Beast shortly, giving it a grand total of 6 to choose from!! We have 3 varients: Light (Normal), Dark with White Text, and Dark with a bit of Dementia. ;-)... Each of the 3 variants will have 1 with, and 1 without "by Di11igaf".

@ashies7, yes, I do have this font... What did you have in mind? You can PM me if you wish

@everyone else, I'll post the original Splash in the OP tonight after work.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tribalartgod:
Here are the three latest additions to the Splash Collection.

We have:

Smoov E - Made for XAviierG

Call of Duty - Made for sheanzyy

The Warrior - Made for ARTO INSPIRE

Also, for those using the Ginger Beast Rom, there are now a total of 6 Splash screens to choose from for that Rom!!!

You can find them here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14138132&postcount=734

NVM had to stop being a noob and follow directions
[HTC Inspire 4G] Llnbrnl:
can you flash a splash image without rooting your phone?
[HTC Inspire 4G] tribalartgod:
Not to my knowledge... Someone correct me if I am wrong please..
[HTC Inspire 4G] lamebmx:
Technically yes. With locked phones one of the first steps is unlocking the bootloader. At that point you would be able to flash VIA fastboot be it a rooted ROM, radio or splash.

But all the complicated part of rooting would be done, might as well just flash a rooted ROM.

I'd advise to root first. So if there is an issue, troubleshooting will be a lot easier.

Corrections from elders appreciated.
[HTC Inspire 4G] neevz:

[HTC Inspire 4G] lamebmx:
You may want to find a super cleaner version and post it or a link. the gradiant and noise in that will get amplified and may look crappy and blocky.

or make one in gimp/photoshop, make the background pure black. clean up any other noise.
