Creating custom splash.img for BQ Aquaris X5 Plus:

Note:

This is not bootanimation, this is the splash screen (the logo which is displayed when device is switched ON)

This is for BQ Aquaris X5 Plus only..

For other devices, please send me your splash.img so that I can create a tool for you too.

Before proceeding, make sure fastboot is setup properly in your computer (just incase something goes wrong)..

STEPS:

1. Make sure you have a picture for your custom splash with:

i. Resolution: 1080x1920 px

ii. PNG or JPG format

iii. picture size less than 200kB

iv. less colorful

(Tip: Try compressPNG.com to reduce no. of colors in PNG picture.

Upload your picture, click Settings, reduce number of colors to 16 or below & download it)

2. Download this tool to your computer: CM_Splash_Maker.zip

And extract it.

3. Drag & drop your splash picture on the file "CREATE_Logo.bat" & select your device.

4. After the custom splash image (filename.img) is created, the output directory will be opened..

5. Transfer the filename.img to the device's internal storage & flash it using Terminal Emulator like:

dd if=/sdcard/filename.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/splash

(Or you can flash it from fastboot as given below)

Note:

Incase you flashed & your device doesn't bootup, don't worry ;)

Just flash the original splash.img from fastboot like:

fastboot flash splash splash.img

Credits:

1. [MENTION=5926618]CHV[/MENTION] who provided the stock splash.img of BQ Aquaris X5 Plus (gohan)

2. Based on my original tool for Yu devices here..

Hit the Thanks :good: button if it worked for you ;)

Don't forget to post here the custom splash screens that you made, since others may find it useful :)

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oisins:
I have a HTC One M9 and would like to install the cRDroid ROM.

When going into the bootloader I see:

* Software status: Modified

* UNLOCKED

* S-ON

* (Now the options)

* REBOOT

* REBOOT TO BOOTLOADER

* BOOT TO DOWNLOAD MODE

* BOOT TO RECOVERY MODE

* POWER DOWN

I have tried to flash the OS via fastboot fastboot flash boot boot.zip this returned:

FAILED (remote: cannot flash this partition in s-on state)

When I tried to boot with `fastboot boot boot.zip` I got:

OKAY [ 12.064s]

Also booting to download mode got me Failed to boot to download mode.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucyr03:
This forum is for M9 not M8, try to post in M8 forum to get a response.

Anyway, could you post a "fastboot getvar all" because I'm not very sure you have an M8...
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oisins:
Since it's not my phone and I'm helping someone else, I didn't bother checking if it is actually a M8 and on the back it says: "M9u"...

Thanks for the tip!

Heres the getvar:

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucyr03:
This is NOT the getvar all.

You need to boot in download(volume down+power) and do "fastboot getvar all" then remove your imei and sn from text and post here, hope you understand.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oisins:
I booted with volume down+power and got to the same screen. Running the command again got me the same results.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucyr03:
An white screen? If you select reboot in download you get the same white screen?

If so the most probably cause is a dead nand.

We really need better instructions for flashing ROMs and root to a/b partition devices. I had the same problem as others where I flashed the ROM and Magisk, looked like it took, then after booting up, Magisk wasn't installed. Flashed Magisk again via TWRP, and it broke wifi. Also, I tried switching partitions to flash Magisk and that didn't work. Truly a love hate relationship with this phone, but I think the hate might be winning.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Ascertion:
It broke wifi because you have to reflash the ROM's Boot.img and you still have TWRP installed there. Why they bundled recovery within the boot.img, we'll never know.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Airwolf79:
Ok thanks. So I need to extract the boot.img from the ROM and then flash it via ADB after flashing Magisk in TWRP?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Airwolf79:
Oh, and why doesn't this need to be done on the stock rom? I see that it did with the old method of rooting, but the new one doesn't require flashing the boot.img.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] The_Automator:
Use this version of Magisk

https://download.invisiblek.org/magisk_14.3_invisiblekhax.zip

From the man invisibleK himself

"Flashing magisk after a rom is a bit of a problem. The official magisk zip ends up installing it to the currently booted slot. Typically though, you’d want to be installing it to the other slot after flashing a ROM zip, since that’s where the rom has been installed. I’ve made a hacked magisk zip that forces the flash to go to the opposite slot that you are booted to in order to alleviate this headache"

In on 7.1.1 and am rooted with twrp and magisk working. Can.I just flash this with twrp and all good. Or flash this with twrp then reflash magisk and that will work. I'm also on ex kernel as of now. Thanks
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Airwolf79:
If you're asking if flashing a custom Rom will keep root intact, then you're already in over your head. Do A LOT of reading before you start flashing ROMs on this phone, and make sure you have ADB up and running, AND able to communicate with your device BEFORE you even wipe your phone. You might be able to flash the ROM with TWRP, but if it doesn't work, be prepared to completely wipe your phone in fastboot and then you'll have to reflash TWRP, transfer ROM and Magisk, and flash. I was able to flash AOSIP in TWRP without wiping my phone, after being on RR, but I did have to flash the firmware in Fastboot. So make sure you have the latest firmware handy, as it's set up to flash to both slots in fastboot so there's no firmware mismatch. RR is pretty outdated now, both with Firmware and security patches, so I recommend either LOS 15.1 or AOSIP as they're both Oreo ROMs compatible with the latest firmware and have latest security patches. For rooting, it is recommended to get ROM up and running (for Oreo, don't set up pin or fingerprints yet), then reflash TWRP, flash boot.img, then Magisk, and reboot. For now in Oreo ROMs, you'll have to disable pin & fingerprints each time you boot into TWRP, until they get decryption working in TWRP.

Hi

I just purchased a couple of fire hd 8's for Christmas for young children.

I did not purchase the kids edition with unlimited and kid profile.

I am hoping to add google play, and download kid games, kid youtube etc and limit the content they are able to see.

What is the easiest way of doing this. As I understand you cannot share google apps installed in the main adult profile to a child profile?

So is the best and simplest way to create a adult profile, add google play etc and somehow limit its functions with a applocker type application or passwords somehow. maybe a different launcher? um im not sure:confused: what are your thoughts on this.

Many thanks xda
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] baldybill:
How Can I Get Tasker to Check Root and Reboot If Not Rooted?

You see, sometimes my phone becomes "unrooted" even though it has Magisk. When this happens, a simple reboot fixes it. However, I would like to have the phone check itself daily to see if it is still rooted. If it isn't, I want it to reboot. Any thoughts?
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] ktmom:
I have had this problem. Just use a "run shell" action with the command simply "su". Define a variable for the "store errors in" field and it's not necessary to check "use root".

That will attempt to gain su rights in a shell. If it fails, the variable you defined will be set. In the same task, create a reboot action and have it execute only if the variable is set.

Make sure you have a clear for the variable or, from when it gets set, every other reboot will appear that you lost root.

Trigger this task any way you want; after a specific reboot based on time, or run it every time the device reboots. That last might be confusing initially since if root is lost, it will reboot on boot up and kinda look like it looping.
