And at the bottom it says you can use any of the listed boot animations. The one I was most interested in was:

Specifically the 4th version:

However I see that it's 480x800. Does that mean it wouldn't work if I tried to use it as-is (and the ROM thread should be updated to reflect that)?

Also if so, would anyone feel like converting it into the Sensation's resolution? :)

Some of my Screens

Hey all :)

I'm trying to convert some splash screens I made based on the screen posted by gf7800 on the post #143 of this thread, but so far I haven't been able to manage to do it properly. Anyways, I know I will succeed at some point, it's just a matter of time, so I thought in the meantime I'd share them with you so you all may also use them is you like. Cheers! :)

PS: Once again, credit goes to gf7800, it was his creation I used in the first place, so thanks mate! :)

Find the zip attachment . I made it for you. This can be flashed via recovery. Use 4ext recovery.

I have done it with my linux tool which can be found here.
[HTC Sensation] ajape:
Thank you!!! :) I actually need to learn how to do it myself, but you're really kind for having taken the time to try and help anyways, thanks :)

BTW most of the graphics have been updated in my original post, they are much cleaner now. Just in case you have gotten them as well, hehehe :) If you click the links on your quote of my post for some of the files, you'll find them missing, so like I said, go to my original post (post #183 of this thread) to find the new ones. And thanks! :)
[HTC Sensation] ajape:
Some more, for the fans of colorful backgrounds :)

Enjoy! :D

Hi,

What I did is downloaded your images and resized to 540x960 with Gimp and saved them as 24bit colour bitmap. Then I used my tool and converted them to splash1.img (option 3 ) . Once the conversion is done , I put them in a flashable zip using my tool (option 5).

Its easy . Most of the problem lies to make images of correct size (540x960)..

Check here. I have done all the images for you. Flash them in recovery.
[HTC Sensation] ajape:
Wow, thank so much!!!! :) That's certainly above and beyond the call of duty, and it's most certainly well appreciated, Thank you! :)

I'm just getting into learning my way around Linux now, I have another desktop running Ubuntu and I was ready to go at it tonight, but now I'll have to practice on something else, hehehe :)

Thanks, man! :D

PS: By the way, I had the PNG files saved in photobucket in the correct size, how come you needed to resize them and not just convert them to BMP straight up? Didn't you click on them to expand them to their full size before downloading them or saving them directly from your browser? :confused:

PPS: I just checked again, if you click the pic to make it go back to full size, and then save it directly from the browser it gets saved as a 540x960 PNG file, how did you get them?
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
I dont know . The first image I got was of a different size something like 460x840 . So to be very sure I just resized them blindly to 540x960.. :D

I used the mysplash script to put mine in, and might as well show it off here as well as the other thread...Yes, I made it myself, but I took the predator head image from another users screen and think it works brilliantly...

The red logo behind the skull is my own design and I have been using it for several years now...

The writing is an alien language, with the top matching my tattoo, the middle spelling out HTC and the bottom is my name, also, obviously, in alien.

For anyone that wants it ive cleaned up the text a bit on this one, "new sensation xe" text in droid sans font and replaced beats logo and text with a higher quality version, looks nicer and more polished off

Yeah that tool to convert a BMP to a usable splash image works REALLY well. I was highly impressed with it. And it's really simple to use!

Here's a few I made last year using this tool. The images embedded in the thread are smaller than the Sensation so don't just right click and save them for use as splash screens. The attached zip file at the bottom contains the already converted .img files as well as the 960x540 BMP files I used to make them. They are ready to be flashed. Just download the zip.

Batman

Superman

Ghostbusters

You don't have to flash the new splash screen from fastboot though. You can do it right from terminal emulator on the phone.

For this example I named my splash screen CUSTOM.IMG and put it in an SD Card directory called SPLASHSCREENS, but you can name it whatever you want and name the directory whatever you want.

Then type the following in terminal emulator. Make sure it's EXACT. (Do I need to repeat the part about it being exact? I'm not screwing around here. You don't need to put a splash screen where your radio used to be. I promise that won't end well.)

su

dd if=/mnt/sdcard/splashscreens/custom.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14

Boom. You have a new splash screen. No PC with fastboot required.

You can even automate this whole process if you want to change the splashscreen a lot. Use an app called GScript from the Play store to same the above script and then it's a one click process as long as you name the new splash screen CUSTOM.IMG every time and store it in the same directory.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Here are two more. The Autobots one works perfectly. I've included the 'ready to flash' .IMG file for it attached below.

I also formatted the TARDIS BMP perfectly for our 960x540 screen. But for some odd reason I've never been able to get the converter tool in this thread to make a usable splash screen out of it. When I try it's like the image always ends up 1 pixel too wide or something so it's just a jumbled mess when the splash screen comes up.

If someone can convert it properly more power to you. I'd love to use this as a splash screen because nerdy phone booth image on my actually phone = awesomeness.
[HTC Sensation] spiderio:
really love your autobot image...

flash it right now..

thanks Skipjacks
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
That ws an easy one. I just took a desktop wallpaper I found on Google Search and resized it for the Sensation screen. There rest of them actually took a little bit of editing and photshopping.

Glad you enjoy it!

There is a simple flashing tool to do this. Download Android Flasher 1.8.0 from http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=622616&d=1307846388

This will allow you to flash a new splash screen (plus others) simply. Images need to be .bmp files.

Any instructions? Or just click & hope you don't break anything?

[HTC Sensation] bahnburner:
The issue might be with Revolutionary + our phone version. I'm having issues with it as well, and I had a 1.17.0008 Hboot version. When I reboot into the bootloader I show

I DON'T have the pink Revolutionary logo across the top. From what I can tell, I'm running a shipped S-OFF PVT hboot now, rather than the Revolutionary hboot that has fastboot commands enabled. I know they were having a hard time with the .0008hboots and had to issue an update, I'm wondering if this is related.

EDIT: Scratch that. Forgot I soft bricked and restored with an RUU, thus reverting to an S-off version of the stock recovery.
[HTC Sensation] jbl200:
great!! 1 Thanks from me :P
[HTC Sensation] Beast84:
I was actually asking for the .img

I figured since I couldn't get it to flash, maybe I was doing it wrong. Maybe my files are being corrupted somewhere. I'll upload the .img I have in a bit as I'm not at a computer

i used this tool, checked that im flashing "splash", chose the bmp image then executed. let it finish, but when i boot up i first see the image that i set, AND then the stupid white HTC screen shows and then the tmobile boot animation.

isnt the point of this to replace that white htc splash image?

any inputs?
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
Maybe the HTC screen is within your bootanimation.zip

How long does your image appear? should be around 3-5 seconds.
[HTC Sensation] piimp:
it appears for about 3-5 seconds
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
its in your bootanimation.zip ;)

/system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip/desc.txt

Delete the first line. (one line is defined as this: "540 960 25p 0 0 android" the numbers may differ, even the folder name. In some files there is a new line with the p, then just delete the "540 960 25" and the "p 0 0 android" line)

Save it and it is gone.

I have ADB and have images in my ADB folder from prior MT4G splash screens, but is this an additional app or what. NBIMG??
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
Yes it is. Download it from the #1 post. It will just convert your bmp to a phone readable format.
[HTC Sensation] piimp:
ok there is a bootanimation.zip

and a TMOUS_bootanimation.zip

which one should i delete from
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
it is possible that both are used, TMOUS for the US tmobile Logo and the bootanimation.zip for the HTC logo. look inside both and post the desc.txt, then I can tell you what is hapening ;)
[HTC Sensation] piimp:
i was just about to edit my previous post with this info..

bootanimation.zip has

540 960 15

p 1 1 android

TMOUS_bootanimation.zip has

540 960 15

p 1 45 android

p 1 45 TMOUS
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
your TMOUS_bootanmation.zip is the one that is being used. just delete the p 1 45 android so it looks like this:

540 960 15
p 1 45 TMOUS

That will leave you with the Tmobile animation
[HTC Sensation] piimp:
this is frustrating me...i'll delete the line, then save, then back out of it..but the delete doesn't stick..the code is back to normal...im using es file explorer btw.

i also extracted the file, deleted the line, saved and zipped it back up but phone wont let me delete the one thats there or put the new one in..

Convert pic into .img

Name it whatever (you can see I named mine custom.img)

Put on sdcard

open terminal emulator...(yes.. on your phone)

su

dd if=/mnt/sdcard/custom.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14

Easy pleasy...
[HTC Sensation] kripwalk:
this is a confusing part for me.

just open up the terminal emulator and type

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash splash1 nameofimg.img

?

i did that and nothing happened
[HTC Sensation] hks18psigst:
If you can't figure it out you might not want to play around... Read up on adb and get familiar with android.. errrr
[HTC Sensation] kripwalk:
eh all right
[HTC Sensation] hks18psigst:
If you use adb its commands you type in command prompt on your PC.. if you want to do it in terminal emulator on your phone you need to do it the way I explained in post #77
[HTC Sensation] kripwalk:
if i named mine to splash.img should i pu /mnt/sdcard/splash.img instead of custom.img?
[HTC Sensation] hks18psigst:
Yes sir.. but can't be just named .img needs to be in .img format
[HTC Sensation] kripwalk:
lol well it worked but the image just ended up deformed

this is the one i used

I converted it for you. Flash this image:

umm thanks!
[HTC Sensation] kripwalk:
so do i type the same thing on the terminal emulator even after i put a different splash screen?

this is how i put mine now

dd if=/mnt/sdcard/1SSLz.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14

this was before when it was the deformed

dd if=/mnt/sdcard/Splash.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14

do i put it as

dd if=/mnt/sdcard/1SSLz.img of=/dev/block/Splash.img

?

or as

dd if=/mnt/sdcard/1SSLz.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14

Hey guys, I’m using OS X Lion as my operating system. I was wondering if it is at all possible to add the R2D2 sound from Leedroids ROM to my Revolutionary HD ROM. If it is could someone please inform me - step by step if possible - on how to do this?

Thanks :)
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
i found a very useful program that will allow you to pick any picture you want and resize it to our qHD resolution.

http://imageresizer.codeplex.com/releases/view/30247

pretty much just download or pick a picture of your choice, right click it go to resize pictures go to advanced and change the resolution to 960x540 and your done. After that you pretty much just edit the pic to your liking and than finish the nbimg process and you will have your splashscreen of choice instead of waiting for someone to make them for you.
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
Wow. I guess theres even an app for that...

Hint: My standard Image/flash viewer IrfanView does that too. And a lot more.

Awesome! I was wondering if this method worked on the sensation. I tried the adb way and keet getting an error after I got to hboot. It said fastboot:command not found so I was kinda bummed. Then I searched the thread for the term emulator method and it was here. I used this method to change my Glacier splash screen.

There was a really cool one I used that said Rooted MyTouch4G that had the android in the background. Silver and black It was dope. Anyhow I'm sure the variety of splashes will increase VERY SOON. I love it. Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] hks18psigst:
Yeah sensation is mmcblk0p14 and glacier is mmcblk0p19 I think... Be careful doing stuff if you don't know the correct location lol
[HTC Sensation] raycaster3:
That's why I didn't do anything until I read the right location here. I'm no moron... :cool: Good lookin out though. I did know that mmcblk0p19 was the location for glacier. Glad you posted it for sensation!
[HTC Sensation] Barwin:
Used this method and worked like a charm. Thnx so much!
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
Fastboot didn't work because you have the original bootloader installed. Stock Hboot does not support Fastboot. Run revolutionary to get the patched one with Fastboot. If you have the correct Hboot, you simply were in the wrong folder with your windows command prompt.

This appears if i hot reboot the phone using fast reboot or if i have use TB to back up the rosie desktop when the desktop is shutting down/reloading this is when it appears... any one else come across this and if so anyone know where i have to reflash to replace this ie... dd if=/mnt/sdcard/custom.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 but a different area...
