[Moto G Themes and Apps] The Analog Kid:
Never mind, thanks for the support! I finally managed to modify with BLM and then flash the logo.bin, with "fastboot flash logo logo.bin" command as usual. It happened to be a couple of corrupted downloaded copies of Boot Logo Maker and "Minimal fastboot and adb". In fact, for those interested, I'm sharing my final version here, which is based on that installed on my previous Moto G 2014. Since that one and my current Moto X Play share the very same bootanimation, I decided to use the same logo.bin, because the transition between logo and bootanimation is imperceptible this way, they simply flow like one. There's a "powered by Android" version with 'material' fonts used since Lollipop; and there's one with just the M logo (the one I'm using). Original version was made as a request by someone else in XDA forums, but I can't remember exactly where. Attached are both "sol" png's (extract them from the zip, jpeg images are just to show how they look) intended to replace the one inside stock bootanimation.zip; that "sol" image must be replaced in order to have the smoothest transition between logo/bootanimation. Both logos are in flashable zips, though I've found these never really worked on any of my Moto devices, so I recommend extracting the logo.bin, and flash it with Minimal Fastboot...

PS: rename (if needed) extracted logo, to logo.bin before flashing

Just wanted to say thanks [MENTION=5365186]caitsith2[/MENTION] for sharing this utility!

I just stumbled onto it the other day while looking for ways to modify the Nexus 6 logo.

Just fyi, it does work with the Nexus 6 logo.bin :)

Wondering if it's possible to remove the 4mb limitation though, at least for the custom setting?

This isn't an issue for most devices, but going forward it may be.

The Moto Z logo is over 12mb!

I tried recompiling the source with a larger value set for max file size, but it still errors when trying to save a larger than 4mb file.

Thanks again for all your work, and even including the source code :good:

I actually wanted to make a boot logo for MOTO E XT1022 ... but my ROM is marshmallow and your tool has option only for kitkat and then bundle and raw... what shoud I choose?

One more question.. If I make logo only for logo_boot.. the other logos will be working as they were or the screen will come blank?

please help..

ANd hats off for the easiest tool to make boot logos.. :)
[Moto G Themes and Apps] foxdog66:
I'm pretty sure nothing has changed from KitKat to marshmallow so leaving it on that option should be fine. The other 2 options are pre KitKat. I'm on marshmallow and the KitKat option worked for me. The other images will work the same as long as you don't change them.

I need some help here, any logo that I make with this ends up giving me "error: 6" when flashing on TWRP 3.0.0.0

What am I doing wrong? I downloaded some bootlogos from this post: Beautiful Logos and they flash just right, no "error: 6" popped up on the TWRP terminal.

Help, please?

PS: Now, if only we can have Moto Boot Logo Maker as an apk...
[Moto G Themes and Apps] GrandAdmiral:
This is a great app but I do have a question or two about the size limitations when the app is processing everything into the logo.bin file.

I have a Moto X Style (2015 Ed.). I was able to create a customized logo.bin using an image (as both boot and unlock images) that was approximately 850kb (or 1700kb total). I am now trying to create another one using two different images that file size has been reduced to its lowest possible in Photoshop, far less than my first custom logo (less than 200kb each), and I am getting size errors (I'm using the standard 1440x2560 dimension size). In one instance, it took the two custom images but gave me the size error on a file I didn't modify.

Can anyone offer any tips on getting images at the right size? What are the sizes of the other files in the stock logo.bin and are they enough to bring it to the 8MB limit according to the app?
[Moto G Themes and Apps] yanniclord:
Can someone update this please? The size limitations are a bit annoying, at least when you have the Moto Z, which has (as far as i know) 8MiB storage capacity for the images, and when using Custom, there is no way to choose the size limitations.

I created a new boot logo based on the original file with Boot Log Maker.

It works, but in the middle of the picture is a small lettering "N/A"

How can I remove "N/A"
[Moto G Themes and Apps] xpmule:
[MENTION=7937675]PC295[/MENTION]

Weird are you sure it wasn't on your original picture ?

What phone model ?

Maybe if you share your logo.bin we all can look into it.
[Moto G Themes and Apps] xpmule:
You can see why the dev left long ago..

4 followers and rarely anyone posts. (me and 3 other guys)

Surprising considering how many phones it *currently* supports and how useful it is.
[Moto G Themes and Apps] PC295:
Modell is Moto G4 XT1622

I Created the Picture with MS Paint, using the original resolution. In Boot Animation Maker i use "Custom", because Moto G4 not listet.

I attached the bin-File (in Zip-Folder)
[Moto G Themes and Apps] rajatgupta1998:
The "n/a" is probably shown by the bootloader for those 5 s and there is no method to remove that thing completely AFAIK. What you can do is overlap it with a white part of the image. Check the logos I made here on mythread:

https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/themes/splash-screen-stark-sigil-game-thrones-t3562019

And it's a bootlogo/splash screen not an animation ;)
[Moto G Themes and Apps] xpmule:
I am a bit confused by the last guys reply "5 s" ?

I don't have the phone so i can not test it.

I downloaded the logo.bin and loaded it up and it obviously does not say N/A so yeah it prob is a Bootloader thing.

The issue is a sketchy sometimes.. just because an image is in the bin file does not mean it's used.

And some images are not even included in the program.. i asked the dev to work on that and he didn't want to.

Many of the other images are for the Bootloader screen.. i changed them all before too ;)

Here is a couple pics showing what you can do with this program.

The point to the pictures is i changed the Droid robot and the text titles and font + size / alignment and colors etc.

Anyway if i wanted to try and help that guy earlier i'd have to get my hand son the original logo.bin for his phone.. i think that is the key to figuring out what is going on.

People using this program should start by getting the default proper logo.bin then loading it in the program and working from there i think.

That *should satisfy the Bootloader i think preventing missing images.

Moto G4 Plus - XT1642

For me and my Moto G4 Plus (XT1642) the flashing through TWRP worked after the changes mentioned above.

I just have to change these following 2 lines in the META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script and recreate the zip.

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system", "/system");
package_extract_file("logo.bin", "/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/logo");

The logo-partition on my phone is 16 MB. I've attached a backup of the original logo partition and my TWRP-flashable Stock-Logo-zip. Maybe it helps someone to add the Moto G4 Plus to this program.
[Moto G Themes and Apps] xpmule:
The last phone added i think was this one..

Init_cboMoto("Moto X Style (3rd Gen)", 1440, 2560, 8388608, (int)(LOGO.LOGO_BOOT | LOGO.LOGO_BATTERY | LOGO.LOGO_UNLOCKED | LOGO.LOGO_LOWPOWER | LOGO.LOGO_CHARGE));

So.. that is the code / settings which specifies the partition / logo size i think.

It sets the title then the dimensions then the max_logo_size variable.

I can probably add a new entry for what ever phone then compile it and post it but i have no way of testing things.

I am a bit leery about doing that. though.. if it doesn't work right i don't want you all pissed at me over it LOL

[MENTION=5065010]disguisedview[/MENTION]

I grabbed your files and i can see the partition size is 16.0 MB (16,777,216 bytes)

But there is one last question.. see that line of code earlier ?

It mentions setting up images to be used.. that could be sketchy if i just guess.

I am thinking the dev here looked at the contents of the original logo.bin to see what was needed to be "set".

See what i mean ?

So it might be a good idea if people can share the default logo.bin for their model so it can be added etc.

We need to know what images to set and the title and the resolution and finally the max logo partition size.

Once we have that info i think it's as easy as adding 1 line of code and clicking build then sharing it :)

Note:

I could probably just use a hex editor on any *stock* logo.bin to see the logo file names inside.

And i can get res + titles here too.. http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola-phones-4.php
[Moto G Themes and Apps] disguisedview:
Ok... that means the code line for Moto G4 Plus is something like

Init_cboMoto("Moto G (4)", 1080, 1920, 16777216, (int)(LOGO.LOGO_BOOT | LOGO.LOGO_BATTERY | LOGO.LOGO_UNLOCKED | LOGO.LOGO_LOWPOWER | LOGO.LOGO_CHARGE | LOGO.YES | LOGO.SWITCHCONSOLE | LOGO.QCOM | LOGO.FACTORY | LOGO.DROID_OPERATION | LOGO.BPTOOLS | LOGO.BARCODES | LOGO.START | LOGO.RESTARTBOOTLOADER | LOGO.RECOVERYMODE | LOGO.POWEROFF | LOGO.BOOTLOADERLOGS | LOGO.BG | LOGO.IC_UNLOCKED_BOOTLOADER | LOGO.ARROWS | LOGO.YELLOW | LOGO.RED | LOGO.ORANGE));

The resolution is shown as 1080x1920 when opening the stock logo.bin in Motorola Boot Logo Maker.

The 16777216 is the stock file size.

Logos in the bin should be LOGO.LOGO_BOOT | LOGO.LOGO_BATTERY | LOGO.LOGO_UNLOCKED | LOGO.LOGO_LOWPOWER | LOGO.LOGO_CHARGE | LOGO.YES | LOGO.SWITCHCONSOLE | LOGO.QCOM | LOGO.FACTORY | LOGO.DROID_OPERATION | LOGO.BPTOOLS | LOGO.BARCODES | LOGO.START | LOGO.RESTARTBOOTLOADER | LOGO.RECOVERYMODE | LOGO.POWEROFF | LOGO.BOOTLOADERLOGS | LOGO.BG | LOGO.IC_UNLOCKED_BOOTLOADER | LOGO.ARROWS | LOGO.YELLOW | LOGO.RED | LOGO.ORANGE.

But don't know where or how the title for the phone model can be found...

Model name of the phone from build.prop is

ro.product.model=Moto G (4)

Bootloader variable for sku is

(bootloader) sku: XT1642

Does this help? Sorry, don't know if i got your point...
[Moto G Themes and Apps] xpmule:
Ok if Moto G4 4th gen guys want to test this new build version out i think it should be ok.

I did everything but flash it basically and it seems ok to me.. no guarantees though ;)

So to recap what is changed..

- The version number (build v2.4.0777.0311)

- The code 6 error fix (changed embedded updater_script) You can always manually use what ever script you want.

- Added a new line to support the G4 4th gen phone. (1080p + 16mb partition)

New version is added here as an attachment.
[Moto G Themes and Apps] atrac17:
Quick question, just to rehash there is no way to remove the N/A symbol from the bootloader? It's definitely part of the bootloader because once you unlock it the generic screen stating your bootloader is unlocked contains the N/A and whatever logo you flash is shows the N/A in the same place.

I was just trying to use the Moto G5 Plus logo to tie in with the bootanimation. Also, thanks [MENTION=7004228]xpmule[/MENTION] for the updated Moto Boot Logo Maker. Working good! Would be nice to have a seamless bootup. :)

Below is the G5 Plus logo I want to use.

Edit: Found a whole thread referring to N/A. Seems like it is not possible.
[Moto G Themes and Apps] vishal_android freak:
It is possible to change it

[youtube]9Xsk3Sqt0OI[/youtube]

I tried to change this logo.bin found in the video with my own image, but no matter what image I tried, the logo doesn't get replaced. There has to be some workaround for this.
[Moto G Themes and Apps] atrac17:
That's not removing the overlay. It's a white background. Use the Moto Boot Logo Maker here to edit. If it's colored where the white N/A is you'll see it. Check this thread as well. Hope that helps.

https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/themes/customized-logo-t3451349
[Moto G Themes and Apps] xpmule:
I already explained what the problem is most likely..

The maker does NOT include all the images for each phone.

It's up to you all to get them etc.

On previous pages i tried to convince the dev to add them and he refused.

So chances are that is the problem guys.

What i already suggested was getting the original bootlogo and adding your stuff to that.

That *should bypass the problem.

Not sure how else to explain this.

The program loads an image set.. the default image set included with the program does not have *ALL* the images.

It's always going to be best to simply get the original one for your phone model from a stock firmware package and then edit that as desired.

Those *WILL* have all the images.

NA probably means "not available"

So when you switch to a custom boot logo and says that i have to assume it means what it says ;)

Oh and a guy PM'd me about increasing the size limit for a phone.

I can't do much guys..

If your phone is set at 4mb then trying to add a larger one will not work.

Even if you had one larger adding it when flashing will fail.. or worse partially flash and maybe brick your phone badly.

Also there is no real good reason to be using super large images either.

Optimize your graphics people !

I went into some ways of doing that earlier too.

For example if you use an "editable" PNG file it's a waste of space.. unless you need it animated.

In Adobe Fireworks i save them as flat when possible..

That prevents wasting space.. no idea about Photoshop options for that though. (haven't used it in over a decade)

Another thing you can do is omit the logo for the locked image if you don't plan on using it locked.

Many of us copy our custom image to that "slot" also but you can simply put in a small dummy picture instead of your larger custom one (since it will never be seen on an unlocked phone booting up)

Dimensions is another issue..

If your custom picture is black with one simple object then maybe cut off the outside of the picture and then set it as centered in moto maker.. that should work with black backgrounds i think.

I can't comprehend why anyone needs so much space for a custom logo.. unless it was animated maybe.

1 picture shouldn't be over 4 or 6 or 8 or even 16 mb.

I have a picture from NASA that is 12,000 x 3,000 pixels large with 96 dpi and it's under 7mb.

Why in the hell does a guy need 16mb ?

..unless you are like me and made custom button images ;)

But i never seen even 1 other guy do that yet so.. LOL
[Moto G Themes and Apps] androforn:
Yup. Just wanted to say thanks and I flashed a new boot logo to a Moto G4 Play ( harpia XT1604 16Gb P1B) fine. Source image was a 720x1280 24 bit BMP file and looks lovely now. :)

Really appreciate all the effort you went to to make us geeks happy. I owe you a beer sometime.
[Moto G Themes and Apps] Q9Nap:
The logo.bin ouput size doesn't depend so much on the input image size, because the input image is encoded into the motorun format.

The output logo.bin size is dependent on the complexity of the image with respect to the way that motorun encodes it into its format. For example, the Moto Z Droid boot logo is almost 12mb, because the logo contains a gradient, which the motorun format does not efficiently encode.

I have tried Total Commander and SoftX and both crap out at about 1MB into the download. Is there a limitation on file size or something?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] juanschwartz:
I did some poking around. I was attempting to save directly to my storage card which I believe is the culprit. It gets corrupted easily. It's a 2GB PQI and apparently sucks.

I saved a file that was 2.5 MB to the phone storage no problem.

However, I still wonder if writing directly to a storage card period would cause a problem.

Can anybody weigh in on this before I go buy another card(Sandisk 2GB).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] _Nomad_:
Don't know about Total Commander but using Resco Explorer with a Sandisk 1GB, not a problem. I just finished downloading one of the ROMs from the site ftp over wifi without a hitch, so give resco a try before buying a new minisd... Just to rule out software issues

Good luck and give us an update ;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] juanschwartz:
This is my update... just posted it in another thread with someone having the same prob...

I am having the same problem with a PQI 2GB bought from Fry's(PLU# 5044075 and P/N: AE62-2030R01F4) in Houston, TX. When I try to download something from an FTP Client to the storage card, it fails and when I leave stuff on it, it becomes corrupt and stuff disappears.

I took my roommate's 64MB PQI from his Sidekick III and it worked like a charm. It was as follows.

1 Head

1 Cylinder

Type: FAT12

Sector: 512 Bytes

Cluster Size: 16 KB

BackupFAT: Yes

I have downloaded this program here...

http://www.softwinter.com/storagetools.html

It has the option for FAT12 while FLASH FORMAT will only give me the FAT16 and FAT32 options. It may however not be an option due to my card not supporting it as the program above will not let me flash it as FAT12 either.

I'm using the above program to defrag and repair my card right now.

EDIT UPDATE:

Storage Tools did not work. I got Pocket Mechanic(amazing interface) and Resco which is great and clean as well! Thank you for the recommendation. I'm scanning my card for bad sectors. Any format you'd recommend for optimal performance and stability?

EDIT ANOTHER UPDATE:

This morning I used my co-workers SanDisk 1GB card and downloaded files from my FTP at 22KBps over EDGE which blew my mind. Furthermore, they weren't corrupted. His file system was FAT32.

My conclusion is that it isn't the formatting options, but the PQI cards and the old motto of "You get what you pay for". I am going to have to break down and buy another card which I really didn't want to do, but it's obvious that SanDisk clearly holds it's weight in these devices.

Thanks to everyone who made recommendations and turned me on to some great apps in the process. I'll update this when I get my new card and let you guys know how it went. Thanks again for being a great community!
