5) A good Idea for your personal Bootlogo or take one of those i attached here

As i am a big Fan of Luminous Icons and Pictures i will focus on this in this Giude (see my Memberlogo here).

You can use of course any kind of Pictures and Logos you like, the Way you make it, will be allmost the same…

Here we go!

a) First of all you, if you wanna use your own Original Bootlogo as sample, there are 2 easy Ways to get it! If you wanna use the attached here go to Step b…

1) If you installed a Cusom Rom from a TWRP Zip, open this Zip,

look for a File called logo.img

and extract it… now there should be placed a file named logo.img on your Desktop!

2) Go into TWRP Recovery, tick Backup,

mark only „logo“ (unmark the rest), chose where to save (internal or external SD Card)

and swipe backup!

http://attach.en.miui.com/forum/201710/21/041708ohkjvhty00p1vopj.png.thumb.jpg

Now your Logo will be stored in the TWRP folder from SD Card you chosen bevore.

If you restart your Phone you can open your favorite Root Explorer app and go to storage/sdcard (internal or external, which one you chosen bevore) and open the folder TWRP.

Inside you will find a folder BACKUPS/Redmi_Note_2

and a folder with Date and Time you created the Backup

there is stored a file named logo.emmc.win

(the logo.emmc.win.md5 you can delete, because you wanna change the logo, so the md5 checksum will missmatch if you activated md5 check).

The logo.emmc.win you can transfere to your Computer and rename it to logo.bin,

if you are asked you shure wanna change the fileextension you klick yes! Now the File is for Logo Builder readable and you are ready for step b…

b) Place your logo sample (.bin or .img) on the Desktop.

Then create a Working Folder (you can name it what ever you like, in this Tutorial we call it Working Folder) on the Desktop and extract the Logo Builder allso seperate on your Desktop and Run inside the Folder the LogoBuilder.exe!

Close the Tip Window and click on the main Window Create a new Project!

Depending on the Type of logo you use you have to chose in the right bottom Dropdown Menue logo.bin or logo.img and navigate to the desktop (where you placed the logo bevore) and select your logo file.

On the next Window navigate to the Folder you created bevore e.g. Working Folder on your Desktop and select it!

Now all Pictures of your Boot Logo will be extracted in the Working Folder and Logo Builder will show them all as a preview!

All this Pictures you can edit or change the Way you like with some Limitations!

1) You have to Name it the same Way like the Original!

2) You have to give the Pictures the same Resolution like the Original!

3) You Pictures got to have the extension .PNG (the Creator of this Programm says it doesn‘t matter which file Format, the Programm convert it by itselve, but…see next Limitation).

4) The filesize of the Pictures is very limited, so the .png Picture must be compressed very high! See the Original Pictures as Reference, the Pictures can be a little bit bigger, but not to much, otherwise you will see only a black Screen instead of your Bootlogo (don’t be afraid, your Phone will still boot, but for the time your logo normally shows the screen will stay black) if this happens, you can go back to recovery and restore the original logo from the backup you made before!

For the fastboot Picture

Original

Customized

you can use allso the normal boot Picture

Original

Customized

instead if you like, i created allso a custom picture for fastboot…

If you made all Changes and saved them in your Working Folder you can open again LogoBuilder.exe and click

Open existing Project

And it should look like this

If it look like this there is something wrong (wrong named, size, extension, deleted or what ever)

and you have to correct/replace the wrong file,

if all is ok click make

Now you can Find in your Working Folder 2 new Files named logo.bin and update.zip

http://attach.en.miui.com/forum/201710/21/061918hupuhavaz8asoq83.png.thumb.jpg

The update.zip you can ignore/delete and the logo.bin you have to rename back the same way like bevore you did from TWRP

Copy it back to your TWRP Backup Folder on your Phone (replace the existing if still there)

Boot to TWRP and Restore

your Backup with your new created Bootlogo

Reboot your Phone, if you see the new logo everything is perfect, if the screen stays black for the boottime

One or more of your Pics are to big in size or maby got a wrong format (but last option should not result in a black screen, only the picture should be smaller)...

I cant tell you the exact Limitations, but what i found is for boot/fastbootlogo you can use a size between 595 kb but smaller than 704 kb.

The standart Picture Format is 1080 x 1920 x 24 Bpp

and the Standart Picture Extension is .png!

Now have a look in the folder BOOTLOGO PARTS VARIATIONS, there you can find all parts of the Original/Modified Bootlogo and one Folder with ready made Bootlogos, each with Preview Pictures!

you can just copy them to your Phone TWRP Folder and restore them via TWRP...

Thats it man!!!

You made your first Custom Bootlogo...

The next chapter explains Image editing using Irfan View (see attachments) and some Online

Image editing/creating tools (see links below)

http://eu3.flamingtext.com/net-fu/d...tsize=200&glowColor=#fff123&backgroundRadio=0

Here you can create the digits in the bootlogo (neonstyle or how ever)

and a alternative Website for the same purpose

https://cooltext.com/Logo-Design-Neon

And a website for change normal Pictures in neon Style

http://www168.lunapic.com/editor/?action=neon

and allso a alternative Website

http://funny.pho.to/neon/

So lets start with the Logo Digits,

In the LogoBuilder Chapter we seen in the Bootlogo inclouded are the Digits 0 - 9 and the % Sign...

open the Website

http://eu3.flamingtext.com/net-fu/d...tsize=200&glowColor=#fff123&backgroundRadio=0

scroll down and select the textfont you like

click on logo

then on glow color

klick ok and klick back to Text and reduce the Font Size Slider to 121

then type in the textfield the digit 0, the preview will show your Digit in that color and Font you selected bevore,

if you like the result

click on the upper field done

and Download the Logo in a seperate folder (Safe it with transparent Background, thats standart, otherwise it got a ugly white or whatever Background)

Don't close the Browserwindow now!!! click instead on Edit Text and...

Redo this with each digit 0 - 9 and % in the same Way (just change the text, the rest will stay the same)

if you are happy with the result you can close your Webbrowser and go to edit the images! You should now have a Folder with all Digits you created bevore, like this

but the resolution of the images have to be correctet!!! For This take a look to your Working Folder where you stored all Original Pictures and open img.5png (the Digit 0) with the Programm Irfan View (see Attachment)

on the left Bottom of the Window you can see the correct Resolution for this Picture = 84x121x24 BPP (this is for all Digits from 0 - 9, only the % Sign have a different Resolution = 108x121x24 BPP

Now open the Custom Digit Image you created online bevore, there you will see it got a different Resolution

to correct it go to upper Menue and click Image - resize/resample

and you will see the next Dialog like this

In this Dialog untick first Preserve aspect ratio (proportional)

then correct the with size (in this case 84) and the high size (in this case 121), klick ok...

on the left Bottom you see now the corrected Size

Click the safe as Button, select as Imagetype PNG, chose the Folder where to safe the Picture and click Save!

Redo this with all Digits and store them in the right resolution and right Filetype in the same Folder (you can use for all steps the same Folder, if you just replace the pictures)!

Now you have to name the Pictures correct, starding with 0 = img.5png, 1 = img.6png and so on...

in the last Step you have to make each Picture as small as possible, so open again beginning from 0 each picture

and klick Save for Web...in new Dialog activate PNG

Select on Color reduction Optimal 256 Colors Palette,

now you can see the bevore/after Picture/Size(above)

click save and replace the picture or store it in a different folder...

Redo this with all digit Pictures and check that you made all Pictures correct with the correct Name, Size, Color and whatever...

THIS STEP IS IMPORTAND TO EACH PICTURE YOU CHANGE/REPLACE!!!

Now lets have a look into the Bootlogo...

lets take the Original one and make it glow!

open in your Web Browser http://www168.lunapic.com/editor/?action=neon

and click on the searchbotton like shown on the Picture

in the next Dialog search on your PC where you stored your ORIGINAL Fastboot Picture (Working Folder) and upload it, now it should look like this...

http://attach.en.miui.com/forum/201710/21/061944v5vvtl2vuu8r32tr.png.thumb.jpg

Now you can save this Picture or you can click on above Now, Light it up and make it Glow , after that your Picture should look like this

You can safe this Picture, undo the effect adjust the Glow Effect (on first Screen) and do some othe Effects, what ever you like, if you like the result you can safe it on your PC by following Steps...

On the right side of this Page you can see the the Menue, klick in safe (Diskette Icon)

in this Window dont safe it direct, klick instead on Set specific file size

and there on Resize dimensions

on next Window enter

on With 1080 and on High 1920 (remember, the default Resolution Size was 1080 x 1920) click scale Image and click again the Diskette on the right menue to safe your Picture, on next Window klick Save as PNG - for transparent

and Save it on your PC in the Folder you like and name it how ever you like...

To make another Picture glow you have to undo all you made bevore (click on undo and click on upload a ner Picture and then reopen the upload Page again because the website keeps your steps Stored, or you close your Web Browser and open it again and open then the link again)

Sorry that this is a bit complicate but until now i found no better Way to edit direct the next Glow Picture!

Now open the Picture in Irfan View, check if all is ok and the Resolution is correct, then safe it like bevore the Digits for web as PNG with 256 colors...

You Done!

If you are not happy with the Neon Picture Color from youre Bootlogo Picture go back to the ORIGINAL BOOTLOGO PICTURE (BEVORE YOU COLORED ONLINE IN NEON)

and open it in Irfan View!

Click Image-Color corrections, a new Frame will appere like this...

play arround with the Sliders in this Frame and see how the Colors of youre Picture change, if you happy with the Result, klick OK to save the chanes (if not just cancel) and save the Color modified Picture and open it again in the Online Picture Neon Maker, depending how big the changes you made the Result of the Neon Picture will allso change. Redo this Steps until you are happy with the end Result!

Now one last Example to see some more Funktions (There are hundrets of Funktions more you can explore by yourselve, you can even install and use Adobe Photoshop 8BF Plugins for advanced editing Funktions and...and...and )!

Ok, let's now create a Standartboot Logo in the last Step of this Tutorial!

Open Irfan View, klick Image - Create New (empty) image

in next Dialog type With 1080 High 1920 and klick OK

Now you have a black Picture as Background (you can use any other Color even transparent for the Background)!

Now push and hold the right Mouse Botton and slide your Mouse diagonal over your Picture

and you will see somthing like this

Now push the left Mouse Botton and expand each of the 4 White Lines as shown in the next Picture

Now you can see the Dimensions of this Picture

We wanna place in the middle of the Picture a logo, therefor we reduce the two horizontal lines, so the Picture look like on start.

Then we leave this Window and open any Logo Picture we like in a new Irfan View Window like this

Then we klick the copy Button (see above) and go back to the other Irfan View Window we left open before, there we klick the Paste Button

Then we Mark the area above the Logo to insert any text we like

klick on edit - insert Text

in this Dialog you can edit/change your Text, Font, Color, Size and much more...

if you are not happy with the result you can undo every Step with the undo Button until you got the perfect Result!

The same thing you can do with the free Space under the Logo or you can insert another Logo like shown in the step bevore or whatever you like...

You can allso insert only the Logo/s you like save the Picture, make it online (Neon) Glow like we did bevore, save it and create a text with the Online Logomaker like we did in the Digits Step, then open in Irfan View and copy/paste it to your Neon Logo Picture...try different Variations and see whats the best Alternative...just remember the Steps bevore!

Ones again, the Image Editing Tips i give here are for Noobs like ME!!! If you got allready experience in Image editing there is a lot more possible, and you got a big advantage to me...

One last Tip, Browse the web for the Pictures you like to use via Google Pictures, for example search Google Pictures for your Favorite (whatever)Sports Team, Car Logo, Movie Picture... and safe the Picture to your PC. If it is for example a .jpg Picture you can easyly convert it by open it with Irfan View and safe it like shown before as .png...

Ok, this was my first Tutorial, hope its made understandable and you enjoy it!

And sorry for my Awful English and Grammatica -:)
