To use these splash screens:

1.) download to root of your sd card,

2.) change name to "PC36IMG" (without the quotes),

3.) boot into boot loader (turn off, volume down + power)

4.) The phone should recognize the zip and ask if you want to update

5.) select up to apply.

**All Special Requests will be posted in post #2**

** flash this to go back to stock Splash Screen (White with black letters) **

Wow man looks great, now make me some for the 3D lol
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Kfunk:
What is the screen size for the 3D? These are all 480x800 for the Evo 4G.

Edit - looks like your screen size is 540x960. Try this and see if it works. I'm not sure if the converter program is going to work for the 3D or not.

THIS IS NOT FOR THE 4G - it's a test for the Evo 3D - DO NOT FLASH ON THE EVO 4G!!

I have updated this with the correct coding (hopefully) for the Evo 3D

They aren't blurry for me on the pc, or when installed.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tammyjustin:
Do i need to delete the pcimg after flashing?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Kfunk:
Nope - it can remain there forever. I just leave mine there and when I change my splash screen I just write over the previous file that is on my SD card.

However - deleting the file will not harm anything so feel free to delete it after flashing. Works either way.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tammyjustin:
Thanks
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tammyjustin:
It didnt recognize the zip
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Kfunk:
Did you rename it first?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tammyjustin:
Yep PC36IMG
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tammyjustin:
When i rename it it changes and doesnt look like a zip file anymore
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tammyjustin:
Do i keep the .zip on?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Kfunk:
Depends on how you are doing it.

If doing it via your phone then you don't need the .zip at the end - otherwise it actually does it twice (.zip.zip).

If using a computer and usb cable then you will need to have the .zip at the end - otherwise it will corrupt the file.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tammyjustin:
Thanks im doing via phone, would it hurt to put .zip back on?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jbuck1975:
Thanks for the file

EVO deck'd out with Bruce Lee
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Kfunk:
When you rename it - delete the first part of the file name (name I added to it) and delete the .zip at the end. This leaves only PC36IMG when you save it - file explorer actually puts the .zip back on. So, if you don't delete the .zip when renaming it, you will end up with PC36IMG.zip.zip. and bootloader won't recognize it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tammyjustin:
Ok thanks
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tammyjustin:

i really like these, how would one go about making these work on a cdma hero? i know its got a smaller screen resolution so the images would have to be smaller and the text on them edited but what else is different about getting them to work?

i already have a custom boot animation now i want a custom splash screen

thanks in advance
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] teh roxxorz:
That'd be it basically. Change the image size, the desc.txt, and instead of the zip being PC36IMG, change it to whatever the hero is.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Tuvan03:
thanks teh roxxorz, i found a thread on how to change splash screens on the hero forum but am havin trouble so i'll try posting in those forums see if they can tell me what i'm doing wrong lol
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] teh roxxorz:
Seems like something inside the zip may be off, like the desc file.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Kfunk:
That is correct. The first line of the text file says modelid:

My file has modelid: PC3610000 for the Evo. It will need to be edited with the modelid for the Hero. And of course the images will need to be resized as well.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] teh roxxorz:
Correct, which I had guessed earlier [hadn't looked inside it], though change those 2 things, and hello new splash screen.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Kfunk:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Kfunk:
I finally got my laptop fixed at home so I have started working on some other projects that should be coming out in the very near future so this thread got pushed to the back of the pile. It feels good to be able to do some real themeing again! Nothing worse than having a computer with no admin rights to install software on it. The only thing I could do was make splash screens on it using web based graphics editors on my work laptop. I sure missed my Gimp and 7zip!

Quick Question for op...

Dont know if this would even be possible but could you put a bunch of the splash screens together and make it like a slideshow for a splash screen. So many of these are awesome and I hate having to choose just one! Again dont know if this is possible but figured I would ask! Either way great job! Could I get a nice Vikings one?

I have a request, but not sure if this would be the place to ask. Can you, or anyone else make the "Tats" girl into a boot animation? With the text morphing from "HTC EVO 4G" to "ANDROID" so I can use her as my boot, and splash screen?

That way, when my phone boots.. she loads as the splash screen, and it says "HTC EVO 4G" for awhile, then changes to the boot animation, and the text morphs to "ANDROID" while it loads? :D

Sorry, I'm waaay too new at this.

I have tried everything and cannot get these boot images to work. I verified the md5 sums, renamed them to "PC36IMG.zip", put them in the /sdcard root, and it doesn't recognize it in recovery. I've confirmed the filename being correct within the Terminal, I've also tried without the ".zip" ending. Still nothing. What am I missing here? I'm rooted with Revolutionary, S-off on my EVO 4G. Any ideas??

Thanks, these images look great. I really want to use them.

EDIT: I finally extracted the splash1.img from the zip file and pushed it manually by using "fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img", and it works great now. Thanks!

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Again, why?

Ok...let me rephrase. Why don't you think removing them did any good?

The apps are listed in the "safe to remove" section of the post as they do not affect the operation of the ROM. If Manii believed those apps shouldn't have been removed, he wouldn't have put them in that list. Regardless of that, if you're going to make a blanket statement that you don't believe those apps should be removed, be expected to provide a better explanation than "because" when someone asks you "why".

Manii likely would know what they are for. Ask him.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
They're mainly for ota updating to my knowledge, as custom roms cant ota update they functionally dont do anything.

I've had them uninstalled for a while and i dont believe anything changed.

The only thing that shouldnt be removed that isnt a core android app is dell settings and internet provider.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordmorphous:
Why Dell Settings? I have blindly been removing it from every rom I install.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
I cant recall why exactly, i know stageui partially depends on it and something else does in android core.

dell settings and internet providor are the only things in com.dell and not com.oem for a reason
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chirunavvutho:
Please check the revised list. They are in the possibly not safe to remove zone now.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Manii provided his justification in favor of removing those two apps. I'm waiting for your justification in favor of NOT removing those two apps.

In simpler language, you still have yet to answer my question. Manii placing those apps into a gray area "Possibly Not Safe To Remove" does not render the question invalid.
