[HTC Inspire 4G] vinvinvinster:
SoCal Devs has just released a new app that lets you to easily install a custom splash screen on your phone whenever you want with no access to a computer necessary.

The Market page for BootFlash Pro is here.

Also available on the Android Market is BootFlash Lite.

Here is the description from the Android Market.

BootFlash Pro lets you choose an image stored on your phone to install as your rooted phone's splash screen. The splash screen is the image that is displayed on your screen when you turn on the phone before the boot animation begins to play. The splash screen installed by BootFlash Pro will stick across different ROMs, so that you can always retain the splash screen that you enjoy. You can change your splash screen as often as you want.

BootFlash Pro currently works on:

HTC Inspire 4G

HTC Desire HD

HTC Vision

HTC ThunderBolt

HTC G2

HTC Desire Z

Edit: Added support for HTC Droid Incredible and HTC Evo 4G

and more to come!

Please do not attempt to use BootFlash Pro on any phone not listed here.

Edit: Force close issues on choosing an image have been fixed!
[HTC Inspire 4G] stryfe2010:
Force closes on inspire after selecting custom image. Refunded & uninstalled
[HTC Inspire 4G] monkeyrasta.702:
+1
[HTC Inspire 4G] vinvinvinster:
I'm sorry for these issues, it appears as though there was a problem with the APK that was uploaded to the Market. Could you please clarify if this was BootFlash Lite or Pro that caused the problem?

I have just verified that both the Pro and Lite version of BootFlash that are currently on the Market work on my Inspire running CM7, what ROM were you running when this issue occurred?
[HTC Inspire 4G] stryfe2010:
It was the pro version. Am running inspired ace 1.0.1
[HTC Inspire 4G] stryfe2010:
Also when I selected refund & uninstalled my refund wasn't granted, so I went back to the market & redownloaded & installed the pro version. But same thing happened, it was granted super user access but after selecting image it will force close. From looking at the market it looks like the lite version was updated but not the pro version. Really like the concept behind this app so anyway you can help is appreciated.
[HTC Inspire 4G] monkeyrasta.702:
I tried the light version same issue
[HTC Inspire 4G] vinvinvinster:
We apologize for all the trouble this has caused this is our first app and we may have released it a bit prematurely. We have identified the cause of the problem and a fix will be released soon, probably tomorrow. Until then, this app has been temporarily removed from the Market. I will post a reply here when we release the fix.
[HTC Inspire 4G] stryfe2010:
When the fix is released will be just an update or will I have to uninstall & redownload & reinstall? I ask since I already paid for the pro version.
[HTC Inspire 4G] vinvinvinster:
The fix will be released as an update. Thanks for your purchase and your patience we are hoping to fix it today.
[HTC Inspire 4G] stryfe2010:
Thanxs for the quick response. Really like the idea of this app.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
Thank you for the application. I will have to test this one out and see how this method compares to the other methods of changing your boot splash image. It is always nice to have easier ways to accomplish things.
[HTC Inspire 4G] FadedLite:
App Fixed

We have fixed the app and also, we have added more phones to the supported list. These include Incredible and Evo 4g.

It has been re-published in the Market and should be available shortly.

Thank you for your feedback so we can reach our app's full potential.
[HTC Inspire 4G] vinvinvinster:
In this version we added licensing software, so let me know if you have any problems once you upgrade and I can fix it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] stryfe2010:
Alright I did the update, this time after selecting image & waiting awhile it gave me a not responding error with an option to report force close or wait. First I tried wait which didn't help so I force closed it. Then I restarted the phone & tried again, now It's telling me I didn't purchase the app. HTC inspire running inspired ace 1.0.1
[HTC Inspire 4G] FadedLite:
Yes, i have the same problem. I am the co-creator of the app, so I will be answering some of the questions as well.

Our servers are currently down right now and they will soon be back up.

Sorry for this inconvenience.

(I too use this app frequently, so I want to get this fixed asap)
[HTC Inspire 4G] vinvinvinster:
The servers are back up and we shouldn't have this problem again.
[HTC Inspire 4G] vinvinvinster:
I granted you a refund so if you repurchase it you shouldn't have any problems.
[HTC Inspire 4G] droe411:
Thanks

Works well now!! Great job!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] stryfe2010:
Thanks a bunch, repurchased the app & works great. Thanxs again for such prompt support. Plus I edited my review to 5* cause of the great developer support & fixing the issues.
[HTC Inspire 4G] vinvinvinster:
Thanks for the positive comments we really appreciate it!
[HTC Inspire 4G] DumIam:
Worked very well. As advertised. Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] mrrick:
Awesome! I can finally install my THC splash screen. woOt
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
*Subscribing*
[HTC Inspire 4G] mrrick:
Confirming it does work perfect on my inspire 4g running cm7. Cheers guys!
[HTC Inspire 4G] gadget069:
Running fine for me too.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ggp2jz:
I too can confirm this.
[HTC Inspire 4G] scorpiopantera:
How do you revert back to stock?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mrrick:
Find your stock splash screen and install it. I dont think there is any other way.
[HTC Inspire 4G] n1ckr0th:
will this ever come to the atrix?
[HTC Inspire 4G] dcarr622:
Nice, got front page! Good job guys :)

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/bootflash-an-app-to-install-custom-splash-screens/
[HTC Inspire 4G] vinvinvinster:
We are working to add more devices but unfortunately it is not possible to change the splash screen on the Motorola Atrix. We believe that it our app will only work on HTC phones, but if anyone knows of a way to do this on other phone models, then let us know and we will add support!
[HTC Inspire 4G] solrac.dc:
Any chance of this working on the Sensation? Since most of the phones on the compatibility list I have a feeling that it would. What's the worst that could happen if I tried?
[HTC Inspire 4G] chrialex:
You say don't install on any devices not listed, but you don't say why. What would happen if I installed it on my regular HTC Desire?
[HTC Inspire 4G] -somebody-:
joeykrim made an app like this a few months back called flashimagegui that does boot logos, kernels, and recoveries.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cbronson41:
App didn't work at first, but after some emailing from the dev's and some good ol' XDA searching, was able to correct problem in phone and use the app. Now working great. Good support from these guys. Definitely worth it!
[HTC Inspire 4G] kingdkknox:
What about Sensation?

Love the idea of the app good job. Will you guys be adding support for The Sensation/Pyramid?
[HTC Inspire 4G] FadedLite:
Support and Worst Thing

We are currently working on expanding our list of supported phones. As of now, the Sensation is not supported, but it should be in the near future.

For the worst thing that could happen, i'm not too sure. I do not know what would happen if you tried this on a non-supported phone, but it would be a good idea not to push it. It might end up just not flashing right and nothing would happen.

I for one would not like to push my luck, especially with expensive devices such as smart phones or tablets (if you catch my drift).
[HTC Inspire 4G] XthelordinatorX:
are you guys working on making it available on the HD2?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Berrydroidcafe:
Hmm? Apparently no links are not allowed so, have to do this the old fashion way! ;)

Here are my thoughts!

Tried this app called Bootflash (lite version) by SoCal Devs. It lets you change your splash screen with a picture of your choice.

Problem is, the free version places a watermark in the middle of your pic. Oh, did I mention it (free version) also have ads? WTF?

That's not the end of the story tho! No matter WHICH version you get, there's NO revert function! WTF? I say again, WTF?

The solution of the dev? Find the original (gives NO hint on how) and install it! I guess he/they were thinking that once you installed and used this app, you'll never want to go back! So what IF, you need to reflash the rom and unroot your phone? I guess you might be out of luck!

The sad [sic] thing is, the app actually works! Be advised that it does NOT work on all phones.

I will give this app 2 stars just because it does what it says it will do. I feel it's a major disappointment that they could not, would not develop a way to revert the splash screen back to the original.

Whish they make it work for Htc Hd2
[HTC Inspire 4G] MR_XXIV:
Any chance this might work with the HTC Sensation since we finally got S-Off ? :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] FatalityBoyZahy:
Hopefully this app gets support for the G2X! I'd love to see the Nexus One Splash Screen on my G2X. ;D
[HTC Inspire 4G] vinvinvinster:
If anyone can let me know how to change the hd2 splash screen, i would be happy to release an update that supports the hd2.

I will be releasing an upgrade maybe today to support the Evo 3D and maybe the HD2 if anyone tells me how to change the splash screen of the HD2.

The same goes for other phones too. If your phone has the ability to change the splash screen let me know. If it has HBoot it will be simple to add support.
[HTC Inspire 4G] vinvinvinster:
The Sensation is supported and always has been, I just didn't want to advertise as this because I wasn't sure if the Sensation had S-OFF or not.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gorwin:
When I search for bootflash, only the pro version shows up. When I click on it, and redirect to the lite version, the button that normally lets you install an app is missing. I'm running on an EVO 4G with MIUI and the new marketplace, any suggestions?
[HTC Inspire 4G] vinvinvinster:
Sorry about that, it appears as though the Evo 4G was excluded from the Lite version. That is fixed now.
[HTC Inspire 4G] keejung:
ok i dont know if i messed up or the app messed up, im on evo 4g woith cyanogenmod 7, h boot 2.10.0001, i downloaded pro version and clicked install custom splash screen... chose screen and phone rebooted into hboot mode... chose reboot phone, then phone rebooted with old splash screen , did i mess up or is there something wrong?, i also tried the process again, and had the same results

i tried it a third time and choose bootloader... the bootloader goes through and says that "no image is found" and then i had to go into cwr to reboot.... really dont know what im messing up
[HTC Inspire 4G] gadget069:
Maybe I missed it, but when I try to use this not connected to any kind of a network it tells me I have to buy the app.
[HTC Inspire 4G] FadedLite:
For the app to work, you need to be on the internet.
[HTC Inspire 4G] keejung:
it connects to the web when you change the splash screen to insure that you didnt buy and return and keep the apk... aka pirating...

on a side note any help with my problem, and let the flaming between
[HTC Inspire 4G] vinvinvinster:
Sometimes HBoot doesn't like certain SD cards and you may have to reformat for it to work, but before you do is answer these questions:

Is there a PC36IMG.zip file on your sdcard?

Can this file be opened by a file manager if it exists?

If it can be opened, does it have a splash1.img file and an android-info.text file?
[HTC Inspire 4G] keejung:
yes, should i delete the old pc31img? and try to use the bootflash?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Berrydroidcafe:
So quick to be a smarta$$, you totally missed the point! Jerk!

CM7 HTC G2 using Tapatalk
[HTC Inspire 4G] vinvinvinster:
For now try and rename PC36IMG.zip to PC31IMG.zip

There was an error in the app that was undetected before because we don't have an EVO to test it on.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunfromsako:
Lemme know when u fix the file name for EVO... Then I will purchase kinda annoying to have to rename it yourself... Or I'm just lazy...

Sent from my Synergized EVO
[HTC Inspire 4G] keejung:
it is already named pc31.... s should i change it to pc36?
[HTC Inspire 4G] vinvinvinster:
Nevermind, I was wrong it should stay as PC31, what did HBoot say when you tried to flash it?
[HTC Inspire 4G] keejung:
ok pressed flash custom image...

evo boots into h boot mode with 4 options, bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader, and power down... i click on bootloader... then it says loading pci image... no image found... goes to fastboot option, recovery, clear storage, simlock and hboot usb....
[HTC Inspire 4G] vinvinvinster:
Sometimes certain SD cards don't work in HBoot. Either reformat your SD card (after backup of course) or try another one if you have one.

If you're interested in helping me update the app to not use HBoot at all send me a PM
[HTC Inspire 4G] keejung:
ok ill try a differnt card, id be happy to help, but my phone i use for my business, and i dont know how to use abd shell.... yeah i know i need to learn, but i want to wait till i have another phone in case i mess it up... however if you can talk me through it id be happy to help
[HTC Inspire 4G] keejung:
at least my evo the pci image has to be renamed to 36 not 31 to work
[HTC Inspire 4G] Desi130312:
I had the lite version and i liked it but I hate how it says the socal.com thing in red, ruins the whole thing. I uninstalled the app but the bootsplash still appears with his "ad". Is there any way to go back to stock? I read that you have to find the image and install that but wouldn't it still show the "ad"? I just wanna go back to stock as if I never installed the app. Any suggestions? Would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance
[HTC Inspire 4G] DumIam:
I have Bootflash Pro and have never had a problem with the using the option to revert to original splash screen. I have a rooted Inspire and the program works well for me.

There should be a choice for you to return back to stock. Ugh o well

Gonna test it out now

[HTC Inspire 4G] Myseri:
Issues

I have a droid incredible with cm7, here is the sequence of events thus far:

I installed the lite version because I wanted to try it out first.

After changing the boot screen I noticed the watermark and that my phone will take an exceptionally long time to boot.

I thought maybe if I uninstall that it will revert things back and all would be fine. That didn't work.

So I installed the pro version and saw that it had a revert function, I attempted to use it. But every time it would just force closed.

I changed the boot screen again to something more tolerable.

So as of now, I cannot revert back and now my phone takes a lot longer to boot.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Myseri:
I have solved most of my issues with the excpetion of the FC on revert.
[HTC Inspire 4G] FatalityBoyZahy:
You HTC users are lucky -__-

I was hoping to put the Nexus One Splash Screen onto my G2X... One can dream
[HTC Inspire 4G] ayyu3m:
and for HD2 Nandroids?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mrrick:
True story ^
[HTC Inspire 4G] thebigbaloo:
Please excuse my ignorance but I cannot get this to work on my EVO 4g...

1. My EVO 4g is rooted.

2. Downloaded the Pro version of Bootflash.

3. Opened the app.

4. Granted superuser permission.

5. Selected "Install a CUstom Splash Screen".

6. Redirected me to my gallery.

7. Selected a photo.

8. Phone displayed "Loading, please wait..."

9. Rebooted phone.

10. Same stock flash.

What am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated...
[HTC Inspire 4G] FadedLite:
Fix

When it rebooted into hBoot, did you select bootloader? That is where it flashes the splashscreen on the Evo and Incredible.
[HTC Inspire 4G] FadedLite:
Revert to Previous

This feature is not currently available for the Incredible and Evo, but will soon be. We are currently testing the revert feature on them.
[HTC Inspire 4G] thebigbaloo:
Correct... please let us know when the EVO will work... mine still does not and I cannot revert back... force close...

Thanks...
[HTC Inspire 4G] thebigbaloo:
Also... I am using Quick Boot on my EVO...

Thanks in advance and if you would hit the "Thanks " button as well I would appreciate it!!

Did it ask to update? I may know the reason.

Nope...can u help me?
[HTC Inspire 4G] fireproof69:
I've got this marked for after I get rooted, but a little hesitant from some of the posts about longer boot times... does it depend on the image size, i assume??
[HTC Inspire 4G] bdpyo:
Tried the light version, turns the pictures into horrible quality, meh.
[HTC Inspire 4G] FadedLite:
The optimal size for the boot screen is 480x800. If you use an image near that size, the image will turn out very nice. If you use something 3x higher or such, it wont. We are working on getting a cropping feature, but that is taking some time.
[HTC Inspire 4G] FadedLite:
For the longer boot times, i have not personally seen these (and i change mine at lease once every other day haha). I'll look into this and figure out what's causing the problem.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mrrick:
No extended boot time here either.

How do I completely remove the custom splashscreen?

I removed the file from my sd card and reboot the phone

but it still shows up..

This works great :). Bought the paid version.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sqlmotoq:
Awesome App

This is an awesome addition to my apps and I gladly paid the .99 as now I can use any picture I desire as my splash screen. No files to manipulate or update just pick the picture I want to use as my splash and this awesome app does the rest so just wanted to say thanks for all you do and for creating something that is very usable and much needed on the Droid Thunderbolt :D:D:D:D:)

[HTC Inspire 4G] malshadows:
ok guys i juz wanna share my experiences using this app. I'm using bootflash pro v3.0 on my sensation xe arhd..

I've set up my splash screen image for the 1st time and it worked flawlessly. But after the 1st set up, the app force closes each time i tried running it subsequently. It FC as soon as i launched the app. i've tried uninstalling it and reinstalling and rebooting it but it doesn't help.

Lastly i tried clearing the data through the app settings menu or titanium backup and it worked. The app launched and i was able to change my splash image again. So each time i wanna change the image, i had to clear the app data and run the app.

Hope this could help some of u guys. Nevertheless, its a great app.. saves the trouble of creating .img and flashing thru bootloader. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] vinvinvinster:
Sorry, I can't find any orders by that. I can only search using a name, as email addresses do not show up in the orders.

Hi all,

i was reading threads on changing roms on htc touch pro2 and i have a question that isn't answered (or i couldn't find it:().

i currently have swedish language only, and i would like to change to english but i am not sure which rom can i install?

can i install any one from this link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=893696

here is the info on the device i have:

MODEL:HTC Touch Pro2 T7373

ROM-version: 1.86.413.0(67102) SVE

ROM-date: 25.09.2009

radioversion: 4.49.25.17

protokolversion: 61.44tc.25.32U
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
You need Hard SPL first. Then you can flash any ROM in the world that is made for the GSM Rhodium.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Denao200:
thank you for your answer.

i successfully flashed my touch pro2 and it's working great - apart from the minor keyboard issues.

i know i need to hard SPL first, although i don't know exactly why. all i wanted to know what are the chances that i screw up my phone by installing wrong rom.

anyway, this is a great forum and i am happy to be here.

thanks to all who develop roms/radio/etc... and make tutorials
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
You are on the right track. The only thing you need to keep in mind is that you can only install GSM ROMs on your device. If you try to install a CDMA ROM, you run the risk of bricking it. Just don't wander into the CDMA forum, and you'll be just fine.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Denao200:
hi,

yes i realize that there is a difference between GSM and CDMA devices. i saw all the warnings in the rom flash tutorials :)

by the way, i have one more question about adobe flash.

i know that microsoft no longer supports wm6.5 and neither does adobe...

on adobe's official page the latest flash is 7.0.

is there anyone at all that is trying to develop flash 10 for wm6.5?

i think that would be awesome, so any links on this topic are more than welcome.

i would be happy to try to help develop flash 10 although my programing skills are pretty basic...

p.s. the forum looks nice on touch pro2, but it could be a bit wider.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
Sorry to disappoint, but you kind of answered your own question there. MS and Adobe both dropped support for flash on WM. The only way to get flash 10 on your Rhodium is to use Android.
