[HTC Incredible S] Infinite104:
Doesn't make any difference no matter what i set in the app. I will drive to a store today to see if it might be subjective but I don't think so.

Edit: well it's not only subjective, I'll give the warranty a try, lets see how the will react :)
[HTC Incredible S] Infinite104:
wooh got all of my money back, I'm moving to WP7 now. Android hasnt persuaded me...maybe again when 4.0 comes out.
[HTC Incredible S] ste1164:
If you are leaving android id probably recommend waiting for the next iPhone not wp7
[HTC Incredible S] Raithmir:
God WP7 is woeful, the mango update had better fix/add a lot of features...
[HTC Incredible S] Infinite104:
No I've tested the one from my sister for already two months and I'm very content with WP7. A Phone should be fast and I'm not really into Apple's politics.
[HTC Incredible S] ste1164:
You will be in microsofts politics though. WP7 is as closed down as ios. At least with apple you get a good warranty service.

Title says it all. I'm running humble froyo and I really like it over gummy but I can't seem to find any themes for humble.
[Verizon Droid Charge] nitsuj17:
Themers make themes for the roms they run generally...and afaik there are 4 charge guys who work on themes...one has his own rom to theme and the others seem to run gummycharged so that more or less let's ya know why there aren't any
[HTC Sensation] mexxxico:
The first thing I wanted to do after I root my HTC Sensation was to change the boot animation from 'screaming' white to black.

So for those who want the original, but black HTC boot animation they are free to take it from here :)

As you wish, thread updated with matching downanimation :)

P.S. 1

Adding the original boot animation & down, if someone needed ;)

P.S. 2

Added splash_screen (splash.img)

Flash it with adb.

(adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash splash1 splash.img)
[HTC Sensation] silentsnow31802:
Sorry if this is obvious... but how do you install the boot animation?
[HTC Sensation] wallah:
Hello,

simple way to instal, go with Rootexplorer in

System/media an overright the bootanimation....
[HTC Sensation] silentsnow31802:
There is no bootanimation there

EDIT: Just found this thread. Got the splash screen and boot animation blacked out now! I like it much better that way.

[HTC Sensation] Behold_this:
Any chance you're gonna do a downanimation.zip to match? That'd be pretty sweet!
[HTC Sensation] wallah:
Im relly sorry, im confused with honeycomb.... :(
[HTC Sensation] mexxxico:
The plan is to do. Currently pending other things, but downanimation will be soon :)
[HTC Sensation] nbicho:

Thanks for your work (hit the button ;))
[HTC Sensation] mexxxico:
As you wish, thread updated with matching downanimation :)
[HTC Sensation] veronesi.n:
That's nice thanks.
[HTC Sensation] falsinho:
Nice work but the first pictures from the downanimation doesn't match the other ones, Take a look for yourself. ;)
[HTC Sensation] mexxxico:
Tnx, but all pics in downanimation are original but inverted to black.
[HTC Sensation] falsinho:
hmm, ok! Thanks anyway. ;)
[HTC Sensation] trail1091:
thanks dude..love it
[HTC Sensation] asj2583:
cant get it to work! tried and put a tmous_bootanimation and bootanimation and still getting the white with green htc bootanimation. also tried the permision thing and nothing. any help would be appreciated.
[HTC Sensation] mexxxico:
Obviously you boot animation dubbed in the wrong place.

In custom ROMs with Root Explorer, boot and down animation usually found in /data/local
[HTC Sensation] greves1:
i checked that i had full read/write permissions in /data/local for bootanimation.zip. i deleted that file and pasted in the bootanimation.zip from the top post in this thread. restarted phone, nothinc has changed. what did i do wrong?
[HTC Sensation] dased14:
Check and see if it is located in system/customize/resource(I know that's where its located on sense roms)

brought to you by the little voices in my head
[HTC Sensation] mexxxico:
In the /system/customize/resource you can find a simlinked files.

The animations that need to be switched are located in /data/local (I use InsertCoin Sensation).
[HTC Sensation] halla29:
How can i flash the splash in terminal imulator plz?
[HTC Sensation] mexxxico:
I would not dare to try to make in terminal emulator.

I suggest to use adb.
[HTC Sensation] asj2583:
Yeah figured it out, /data/local for the bootanimation and system/customize/resource for you the downanimation. Thanx for the help guys...

[HTC Sensation] sosquidtaste:
Thanks a lot for this thread-- the blinding white HTC screen was getting on my nerves too :]

I've gone ahead and repackaged one of the bootanimation frames into a splash image, just in case anyone else wanted that instead of the sassy Android guy. (God damn it he's so sassy.)
[HTC Sensation] asj2583:
Make sure the zips downloaded ok cause I downloaded them once and they didn't download complete. Try to open it with androzip or astro file manager just to make sure there ok or if you downloaded them thru the pc check with winzip or winrar or whatever you use cause they didn't downloaded complete even if there in the correct directory it won't come out cause the files aren't any good...
[HTC Sensation] asj2583:
Is this only the green HTC letters on black backdrop or does it also have HTC slogan on the bottom of the letters?
[HTC Sensation] dream8441:
GREEN HTC LETTERS ON BLACK....and it wont work. i put BOOT on data/local...and downboot on SYSTEM/RESOURCE/CUSTOMIZE...and my stock bootanimations.zips for both..i added .bak as "backup" lol.....but they dont work hehe
[HTC Sensation] asj2583:
Did you make sure they downloaded correctly cause I downloaded them on my phone and I guess they don't download correctly causing the files to be corrupt, if so try downloading thru your pc and then xfer to your memory card.
[HTC Sensation] mexxxico:
lol guys :)

I don't know why you are having problems because they are animations that I'm using....

So I guarantee that the animations work :)
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
No problems here at all...
[HTC Sensation] nicoaraalex:
ahm yeah...the boot animation works, splash works, but the down animation doesn't work.. black screen...using stock EU RUU 1.35.401.1, my both down and boot animation are located in system/customize/resources, overwritten them there and only the boot animation works.

*EDIT: nevermind, worked after setting permision to rw-r-r
[HTC Sensation] Pinball_:
EDIT: Nevermind read the post above !
[HTC Sensation] halla29:
im runing my ever so great Leedroid custom rom and my downanimation is system/Customize/resource. ihave replaced the one that was there eith the one u have posted and all i get is a black screen need help cause this is supposed to be a copy and paste type of thing but having trouble.
[HTC Sensation] mexxxico:
You changed setting permision to rw-r-r?
[HTC Sensation] halla29:
yes through root explorer its set to rw.
[HTC Sensation] ToddeSwe:
Hi!

I'm on stock 401 ROM and wonder why i can't find my splash.zip?

Why is that?
[HTC Sensation] mexxxico:
Splash screen is not part of the ROM.

Splash screen is located inside the bootloader.

Unzip splash.zip on the directory where you located the Android SDK (ADB).

Reboot your Sensation in bootloader and flash with ADB new splash screen.

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash splash1 splash.img
[HTC Sensation] Rydah:
Not complaining, but any chance you could fix the color of the green in the HTC? It's a little more dark. No biggie, just if you could and wouldn't mind it. (I'm rocking these on my EVO 3D by the way. Thanks!)
[HTC Sensation] ToddeSwe:
Wow, Thanks. Will try this ASAP. :)
[HTC Sensation] ToddeSwe:
Hi again!

I've tried that now but i'm getting some error codes:

What to do?
[HTC Sensation] mexxxico:
Animations are inverted from white to black.

Green is supposed to remain the same.

You probably have a feeling that the green is darker as it is now a black background.
[HTC Sensation] mexxxico:
Have you put Sensation in recovery mode before the ADB?
[HTC Sensation] cellphonechris:
Install help?

Hi all,

I'm using a TMOUS Sensation 4G, running

[ROM][AUG.06]InsertCoin Sense Android 2.3.4 STABLE 1.2

This is an unbranded ROM, I've overwritten the boot & down files in system/customize/resource with root explorer.

The shutdown animation works, but nothing else. I've set the permissions as follows, from the instructions in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1193937

Can anyone assist?
[HTC Sensation] ToddeSwe:
Nope! Should i? Just bootloader mode, will try recovery mode now then! :)

eh ... please be more specific ... regardning recovery mode, should i go into recovery mode and what to choose when i'm their? :)

First time i used adb was when i fixed my root. :) So bear with me :)
[HTC Sensation] mexxxico:
On Insert coin ROM you should overwritten the boot & down files in /data/local

with following permittions:

Owner: read & write checked, execute unchecked

Group: read checked, rest unchecked

Others: read checked, rest unchecked
[HTC Sensation] mexxxico:
On the phone:

1. Reboot your phone to recovery

2. Plug in your USB cabel on phone

On the PC: go to directory where is your adb and fastboot command and put your splash1.img in that directory

type:

1. adb reboot bootloader

2. fastboot flash splash1 splash.img

reboot your phone

now you have a new splash screen :)
[HTC Sensation] Rydah:
I know but, the green looks different. Looks like color correct was done to it.
[HTC Sensation] ToddeSwe:
Thanks i will try this later on today.

I must ask one thing though, splash screen and bootanimation, what is the difference? Which one come up first? And can i have both? I like the black bootanimation from this thread, hope i will keep that one and add the splash...

Thanks for helping

Edited:

i tried just now and i keep getting this:

And what about "server is out of date"? Should i update something?
[HTC Sensation] mexxxico:
Splashscreen comes first. Below bootanimation.

Try with newest version of android SDK

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
[HTC Sensation] Syns:
nice and clean
[HTC Sensation] ToddeSwe:
How much of the pakages must i install? :) Have downloaded for about 20 minutes now :) and still downloading :)

ADB server is STILL out of date... :) And the same result as before, no splash installed.

Should i start an ADB server or should i do something inside recovery or just reboot into revocery...

Now i've gotten to this:

C:\ADB>fastboot flash splash1 splash.img

sending 'splash1' (1012 KB)...

How long should it take?

This happened when i went out of revovery mode and back to bootloader mode.
[HTC Sensation] mexxxico:
1. Just reboot your phone into recovery.

2. Plugin usb cabel on the phone.

3. On PC start: adb devices

4. adb reboot bootloader

5. fastboot flash splash1 splash.img

6. adb reboot
[HTC Sensation] ToddeSwe:
That's what i'm doing but it sits at:

C:\ADB>fastboot flash splash1 splash.img

sending 'splash1' (1012 KB)...

and still complaint about that adb server is out of date :)
[HTC Sensation] mexxxico:
I really don't know how you would like more help...

The only thing I can still suggest is to reinstall the USB drivers.
[HTC Sensation] ToddeSwe:
;)

Thanks anyway, i'll try this as a last try to get it to work, then i give up.
[HTC Sensation] Mew789:
Same thing here, I have :

What's the problem ?
[HTC Sensation] mexxxico:
If you unzip splash.zip, you'll have splash.img - not splash1.img

After all, in the same way I changed the splash screen a few times on HTC Desire, and now on HTC Sensation....

Therefore, the method is tested and works.

And don't forget, most importantly, your phone must be s-off.
[HTC Sensation] suhaimidee:
So can i say if my img is "htc_quiet.img", i should keyed in the cmd as ..."htc_quiet.img" too? minus the "" ?
[HTC Sensation] quailallstar:
Where would the stock boot sounds be located on the Sensation and does anyone's phone make noise when booting? Just curious.
[HTC Sensation] mexxxico:
Depends on the developer.

The stock rom boot sound is located in /system/customize/resource/android_audio.mp3

I immediately deleted it :)
[HTC Sensation] mexxxico:
The picture you want to put it in bootloader it does not matter what it is called. You can name it: lalala.img

But then you change ...

Fastboot flash splash1 lalala.img
[HTC Sensation] MUNDO23:
Ah that was easy!
[HTC Sensation] oldjuju:
Nice boot animations!
[HTC Sensation] L.N.X:
Very nice boot :p
[HTC Sensation] jahnm:
Normal shut down and power up works perfect. I'm just having problems when I restart. It works for the boot down but when it boots up it has the white htc screen and then the black HTC screen. Any ideas? Thank you. Other than that its awesome.
[HTC Sensation] mexxxico:
White HTC screen before boot animation is splash screen.

In the first post of this thread you have splash screen and instructions to flash.
[HTC Sensation] jahnm:
Cool works perfectly. First time changeing the boot and downboot animation. Wasn't sure what the was for. Usually just flash Roms, kernals and delete bloatware. Thanks again.
[HTC Sensation] etawful:
Okay, this is my first post here, and forgive me if I missed something along the way, but I've searched and can't find it. . . .

I want to install this splash and the animations, but is there a way to back up the splash first?

The animations are easy to back up, but since you have to flash the splash, is there a way to back up the original, or is it easier just to back up the entire ROM and restore it if you need to get the original splash back?

Thanks for the help.
[HTC Sensation] mexxxico:
Splash screen is located inside the boot loader .... So there's no way to backup.

So if you're not sure what you do, do not try :)

P.S.

I worked it a many times and never had any problems.

1. you will need s-off for this to work

2. adb drivers and fastboot set up properly

3. go into recovery on Sensation

4. go into terminal on PC and type:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash splash1 splash.img

5. reboot your phone

...and, that's it :)
[HTC Sensation] etawful:
I have no worries about how to flash it, s-off, etc. I've got that well in hand.

Just didn't know whether it was possible to back up the original splash or not (to make it easier to revert if I wanted to).

Oh well, if it's not possible, I'll just have to rely on re-flashing from a backup ROM if I want to go back to the white screens. Thanks for the help.
[HTC Sensation] adclem:
Worked perfectly and looks so much better then the white.

Thanks,:)
[HTC Sensation] zmfl:
Awsome!

Way better now :)
[HTC Sensation] adclem:
Is their away to change the whit screens that pop up occasionally that just say

HTC? They are not the splash screen or boot up and down images.

Thanks,:)
[HTC Sensation] mexxxico:
It can be changed, but the problem is that when someone is using the kitchen for cooking theme and icons, the white screen with HTC logo will return.
[HTC Sensation] zmfl:
There is a way to back it up actually.

The tool here can do it :)
[HTC Sensation] mexxxico:
Good to know. Tnx :)
[HTC Sensation] Soul Rebel:
Thanks man, these are great!
[HTC Sensation] Snake_skw:

hboot 1.19.000

any help thanks
[HTC Sensation] Rumball:
Same here. Since I'm also using the newer HBOOT 1.19.000 I suspect that is the culprit...
[HTC Sensation] mexxxico:
Yep. Probably because of the new hboot.

Some people have trouble with the radio on this hboot...
[HTC Sensation] Twiny26:
That's because you need to have a engineering hboot or the alpha rev one to use fastboot extended settings.
[HTC Sensation] smitrs:
Not working

I'm probably quite lame on this, but I've done everything as written here and it's still not working. I have overwritten the file in both, resource and local folders for sure, set up permissions right and so on...

I have SENSEaY 1.7.0 on right now and I'm seeing the stock white animation while booting up. When booting down, there's no problem and it's looking great, but I have no ideal what I'm doing wrong with the bootanimation...

Can anybody help, please?
[HTC Sensation] mexxxico:
Flash this from recovery and enjoy :)
[HTC Sensation] smitrs:
I did and now I have ugly green HTC on uglier white background and then green HTC on black background... :-(
[HTC Sensation] mexxxico:
?!?

You have a two boot animations?

Stock white and my black ?

Ok. Now delete a bootanimation.zip on system/customize/resource

Reboot

Now you must have a black screen on boot.

Right? OK. Now flash a boot animation.zip from recovery again.
[HTC Sensation] smitrs:
OK, just to ensure we are both talking about the same thing, I don't know how it's called.

But right after I restart my phone, there's black screen for a little while, than the ugly stock animation and now (after performing all you wrote) black animation with "Android" sign, which I believe is a part of SENSEaY ROM, this animation is on screen for longest... right after that there's a PIN entry request and that's it...

Veird thing is, that boot-down animation works perfectly... :confused:
[HTC Sensation] mexxxico:
Maybe your 'ugly stock animation' (static white screen with green text HTC) is your original splash screen?

Download splash.zip

Unzip splash.zip on your computer to the folder where you are located adb.exe (part of SDK package) ... and flash it with adb.

(adb reboot bootloader

Fastboot flash splash1 splash.img)

After this, the next reboot will not be anything white :)
[HTC Sensation] Imperatorpg:
I cant make this. I do everything and no way. I have on my phone white bootanimation and beat animation. I try to repacked to put black bootanimation and beats and than it is only black.
[HTC Sensation] ayoub:
take the attached bootanimation.zip and copy it to where your current bootanimation is located.

this should be what you are looking for.
[HTC Sensation] kwbr:
Reminds me of the old windows mobile days :D
[HTC Sensation] Imperatorpg:
Thats it, thanks ;) Maybe black animation is little shorter then the white.

How and where to place downanimation ?
[HTC Sensation] mexxxico:
Put the downanimation.zip into the same folder with bootanimation and try.

(system/resource/customize)

It should work.
[HTC Sensation] Imperatorpg:
my bootanimation is in folder data/local
[HTC Sensation] mexxxico:
Put the downanimation.zip first into the system/resource/customize and try if it works... ...If not, move the data/local

Don't forget a right permission for downanimation (rw-, r--, r--)
[HTC Sensation] ayoub:
and the bootanimation should be lacated in

system/customize/resource
[HTC Sensation] mexxxico:
It all depends on the ROM.

That's the reason why I don't make flashible zip

Different developers, different systems :)
[HTC Sensation] ayoub:
yeah you are right. I dont use flashable zips for animations as well, because it is enough to copy them to the right folder.

On my ICS 403 Rom is the bootanimation in data/local and the downanimation in system/customize/resourse

On my last GB 2.3.5 i had to put all animations in system/customize/resource

so we just have to check where the animations are and replace them...
[HTC Sensation] Imperatorpg:
downanimation.zip permissions cannot be changed because the file system is read-only :confused:
[HTC Sensation] mexxxico:
Root explorer have r/w r/o button on top of the screen. Change to read/write and enjoy :)
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
I think it is downanimation not bootanimation which stays in /system/customize/resource/. I am assuming you are on ARHD.
[HTC Sensation] Imperatorpg:
Now is OK, thanks ;)
[HTC Sensation] ayoub:
yes & yes

of course I ment the downanimation to be lacated in system/customize/resource
[HTC Sensation] Conj:
Sorry for the noob question but...

Where on computer do I put the splash in order to flash it with adb?
[HTC Sensation] mexxxico:
Put splash in same directory with adb.
[HTC Sensation] Conj:
Thanks. I thought so, just wanted to double check before I flashed anything.

:)
[HTC Sensation] swift2fly:
CM7 down animation location

anyone know if it's possible to have downanimation for CM7 based roms? I tried putting it under the same folder as the bootanimation with the correct permissions but it doesn't work. Let me know. Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] mexxxico:
As far as I know, only sense rom has support for downanimation.

If I'm wrong, let me know.
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
I have no experience with CM7 on sensation. But see if the file "/system/customize/CID/default.xml" exists. if it exists then you can enable the down animation by adding a downanimation tag in that file as follows.

<ShutdownConfiguration>

<ShutdownAnimation image_png="your-zip-location/downanimation.zip" image="" fps="your-frame-rate-in-number" />

</ShutdownConfiguration>

Example:

<ShutdownConfiguration>

<ShutdownAnimation image_png="/system/customize/resource/downanimation.zip" image="" fps="15" />

</ShutdownConfiguration>
[HTC Sensation] swift2fly:
thanks for the help. just found out that CM7 does not support down animation.

Thanks a lot!Great!

I Love the boot-down-mations!

Hey man I am not able to set up down animation I have set up boot animation only
[HTC Sensation] crayon16:
Could you please give us a guide(step by step procedure) for those user like me who is not familiar with flashing the splash, down or boot animation??

Additional question what is ADB? is it a .apk file or what?
[HTC Sensation] mexxxico:
ADB is a part of android SDK like a fastboot.

Fastboot is protocol used to update the flash filesystem in Android devices from a host over USB.

Look at this for more info and download and this for fastboot options.
[HTC Sensation] crayon16:
May i request, if you can make an original HTC splash image but black background(inverted).

And additional slide for this boot animation:

could you please add the beats logo animation after the HTC sensation slides. thanks! :)
[HTC Sensation] wapvirus:
Black background inverted will come out white :eek:
[HTC Sensation] Tinchoska:
where am i supose to put the downanimation???? i am a little lost

EDIT: i just found the way... sorry... thanks all!!!!!!!!
