Custom Boot Screen

Just sharing the boot screen I'm using. Made by me on PS. Enjoy. :D
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Koush:
That's not a boot image- that's a OpenGL rendered animation in the SurfaceFlinger library. It's changeable, but not as easily as the boot image. Check out \mydroid\frameworks\base\libs\surfaceflinger\BootAnimation.cpp.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] LGSilva:
I was looking through the source code and it could be changed to display a little animation or just an static image.

the depths of my laziness

when I right click and save as I get a file size of 84.0 KB (86,016 bytes), which if I read correctly above thats not the size needed to flash it to a G1, I would like to do this and I like your design, I guess I should stop being lazy and just convert a pic of my own.

My problem is that I havent done much pic editing, and have none of these type tools on my PC, so it is a bit more than sheer laziness
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jashsu:
He linked the PNG. You'd need to run it through convert and rgb565. Koush has a nice automated tool to do it in windows. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=462489
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] LGSilva:
Yes, you need to convert the picture.

Just in case here is the raw file.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] :
I got JF's fastboot.exe and I'm trying to flash LGSilva's boot image, but I ran into 2 problems:

1. The filename of LG's boot image is mysplash.rgb565, isn't it supposed to be .raw565?

2. I can't get it to see my G1, fastboot devices doesn't show anything.

stericson could you please share your penguin splash image?

its great
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Koush:
The file extension doesn't matter; just check the size.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] momentarylapseofreason:
X2

Don't need to play with any other images... his is what I want
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] JesusFreke:
Also, just FYI, fastboot will check the size and refuse to flash it if it's incorrect. I found it fastboot will also refuse to flash something if you are really low on battery power. Kinda spiffy.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Stericson:
Sure, I can provide the base image. On mine however, I customized it with some of my information, such as my name, etc. That way if it ever gets stolen, the thief will be reminded of it everyday:)

Stericson
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] s0niqu3:
I really liked this idea, so I found the image at deviantart, and made a copy of your boot image, and for anyone else, I've attached the splash.raw565 file (zipped) to this post.

Cheers guys, and happy new year!

[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] unrafa:
thanks!

stericson thanks for the image :) thats really a good idea i dindt thought about that, im going to put my name on the boot image too lol :)
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] otto888:
Ok,I'm totally lost here. All that I do know is that you need a USB 2.0 card,which I don't have,and you need dev bootloader and rooted phone,which I do have. Can anyone put this in a easy install(update.zip maybe?) method?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] LGSilva:
If you're using windows then you will need:

1) Rooted G1 with dev1 bootloader/spl (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=442480 and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=455860)

2) The android sdk so you can use the adb/drivers (http://code.google.com/android)

3) JesusFreke fastboot for windows (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=463627&highlight=fastboot)

4) Koush Splash Screen tool (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=462489&highlight=windows)

I guess that's all you need. Then follow the instructions on each thread to install everything.

When you finally get to put your custom boot "splash" type this two commands:

fastboot flash splash1 splash.raw565

then

fastboot reboot

replace splash.raw565 with your own file that you've converted.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] otto888:
But don't you need a USB 2.0 card to transfer of the PC will reboot?..its been happening when I try to use ADB
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Mi|enko:
How long is this processes supposed to take? With it only being 300kb, I'm thinking not too long, but it's been sitting like this (see the image) for a few minutes already. Any immediate help would be AWESOME, as my wife'll kill me if I killed my phone. lol (Yahoo is icpgr8milenko, but I keep refreshing here too.)

Update: Alright, so after sitting there for 20 minutes with no change, I opted to reboot as I was confident that it wasn't loading. . . The phone still boots with the default T-Mobile G1 Splash. :-) That makes me a semi-happy man.

Update 2: wOOt, not sure where the kink was, but reflashed and all is well. :-)
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] :
Still can't figure that out. :(
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Mi|enko:
I know this is all already in the thread, but it took me a little time to figure it out. . . looks like I might not have been the only one. :-) Hope this helps:

----------------------------------------------------

Start with the USB cable disconnected

Get the phone into fastboot (camera+power).

Hook up the USB cable

You should see a USB Mass Storage device in the "device manager"

Right Click, update driver, and point to the location of the USB Driver

(http://dl.google.com/android/android_usb_windows.zip)

Make sure that you have the fastboot binary (Courtesy of JF)

(http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3083753&postcount=1)

Make sure your image is in the same folder as fastboot.exe

Open up a dos window (start>run>CMD)

Navigate to the fastboot directory

(if it's in C:\android\tools then you would type "cd\android\tools" at the c:\)

Run the commands

fastboot flash splash1 splash.raw565

fastboot reboot
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Stericson:
Unknown, if you are in linux trying to use fastboot you must type su and the password associated with root. then fastboot will see your device.

Stericson
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] :
That worked, fastboot sees my G1 :cool:

Thanks :D

Made my day just being able to help with something, as I've had 50k questions today. :-D Freed up the pros for the most minuscule of moments.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] tonym001:
OK, here's an interesting one:

My boot image flashed fine, and when I reboot, I my lolcat boot image shows (yes, I know.. :D ) but only for a couple of seconds. I then get the t-mobile/g1 screen before it shows the animated android screen. Any ideas anyone?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Mi|enko:
Only a partial flash perhaps?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] tonym001:
I just tried erasing splash1 first, before writing out the updated splash image, and I still get the same thing, very odd.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] tonym001:
I just spotted in my nand backup that there's a splash2 as well - flashing this with the lolcat boot image get's rid of the t-mobile/G1 screen that was still lingering.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Mi|enko:
Haha. I was gonna ask, but thought it was a dumb suggestion. lol Glad you got it sorted.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] tonym001:
Heh, thanks for the help though! :D
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Amon_RA:
Just wondering...

- How does the bootimage of the a DEV 1 look like? I assume it doesn't show T-mobile? ;)

- Some time ago I ran an SDK-based image of Android on my HTC kaiser and it had this cool red Cyclon-eye (from Battlestar Galactica) while booting. Could we also show this instead of the Android loading thingy?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] coolbho3000:
Yes, anyone with a Dev Phone 1 please extract the image or something. :)

fastboot erase splash2

I used this and it got rid of the second splash screen for me just fine..
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] animehawaii:
Okay so I tried this on my G1. Its rooted, JFv1.31, HardSPL, I'm on Windows XP. I had made a 320x480 8-bit png, used Koush's Splash Screen tool and then using fastboot i flashed it.

Command output of fastboot below.

fastboot flash splash1 mysplash.rgb565

sending 'splash1' (300 KB)... OKAY

writing 'splash1'... OKAY

fastboot reboot

rebooting...

I then see my custom image for a split second, then it reverts to the original B&W T-mobile G1 boot screen and It boots fine. The only thing i can think of is that I am on HardSPL and not Engineering SPL.

Any ideas?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] deprecate:
fastboot flash splash2 mysplash.rgb565

You only wrote over the first splash, which has a very quick timeout. Put your image on both splash1 and splash2 to have a longer, more drawn out peroid (and so your defacto T-Mobile G1 splash no longer exists).
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] andonnguyen:
On the contrary, I've only replaced my splash1 and my boot screen lasts for a good 26 seconds.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] animehawaii:
I haz custom boot screen! Lol thanks for you help! Maybe someone should add the info about the short timeout in the first post for lazy people like me, i only read 3 pages and didn't know about the timeout. It somewhere after that.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] deprecate:
Trade phones? :D Mine has always skipped beyond splash1 in a matter of a few seconds forcing me to flash both 1 and 2; I was planning on it anyways but I found it to be a bit of a surprise.

Help

I cant figure this out! when i try to use fastboot, it flashes on my PC for a sec. Cant see or input codes. Im using windows XP, please help!
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] [RiS]:
Same here. I've never had a splash2. splash1 lasts until the glowing android appears (about 25 secs). I'm using an ADP1
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] :
You have to do the following:

1. Place fastboot.exe in the tools folder of the Android SDK (I'm not sure if you could just get AdbWinApi.dll)

2. Use Command Prompt and cd into the tools folder

3. type fastboot

If you can't get your phone to connect, then read this.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] momentarylapseofreason:
More importantly, all the information is there. Use the search button and learn what you are doing before you brick your phone.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] synthead:
This is awesome. I put my contact information along with a picture of me on my splash image in case it gets stolen. If someone wants it, they'll keep it, but they (and others) will be forever reminded about their stolen phone ...

Help!!

I am trying to change my splash screen but i am unable to do it.. i am in the command prompt with the sdk open and the fastboot in the tools folder and i put the splash image which is already converted in tools... i dont know if that is in the correct area but i need help.. where do i put the converted image at??? which folder... thank you in advance...

i am doing the same process as the following quote.. i am just getting an error: cannot load 'mysplash.rgb565'
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] andonnguyen:
from my experience, it should be in the same directory as fastboot.

what program are you using to convert the png image?

I recommend this one:

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=143640&d=1231220492

and it takes all the hard work out of making a splash. just make sure its in .png format and its 320X480 before you convert it.

EDIT:

make sure youre in bootloader mode.

turn off your g1, then hold down the camera button then press power.

next, plug in your g1 via usb to your computer, then press the back button on your g1. you should notice your screen will change from serial0 to fastboot. then you should be ready to use the fastboot commands via command prompt on your pc.

could you possibly tell us what you are doing step by step?

you can also try this command:

fastboot flash splash1 splash.raw565

this one worked for me =]
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] n8izzle:
lol im sorry it was all my mistake.. i had everything right but i copied the folder to my desktop and into my documents and i just overlooked it... i had the image in one of them but my cmd prompt was trying to load an image that wasn't there.. i have been here for 30 minutes trying to get this working... i feel stupid now lol.. thank you though i appreciate your help...

After I navigate to the appropriate directory and enter the appropriate command, cmd displays "< waiting for device >"

Any ideas? I can provide more info if needed.

Not sure how useful this is to people but you can convert from rgb565 back to png from the command line using ffmpeg.

$ ffmpeg -vcodec rawvideo -f rawvideo -pix_fmt rgb565 -s 320x480 -i filename.raw565 -f image2 -vcodec png filename.png

Sorry i havent been keeping up with this thread but i wanted to see what people have been able to make up.. But i couldnt help but notice that some people have modded the animated screen after splash2.. If somebody can help me change mine that would be great.. I have looked in the forums but didnt find anything.. Thank you in advance
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] MasterBunnyFu:
It's not too difficult. You just have to replace three files in framework-res.apk under assets/images: android_320x480.png, boot_robot.png, and boot_robot_glow.png. The robot and glow are positioned v-centered and 33px from the right side of the screen, and can be any size.

Just take your framework-res.apk from your phone, unzip it and replace those files, resign (download AutoSign if you don't have it) the apk, throw it in the template update.zip and resign that, and do it like a normal update. Read the Easy steps for creating a theme thread if you need more info; you're basically making a micro-theme.

I am having a little trouble getting the transparency for the robot images working right, tho, if anyone has some advice on that. Using GIMP.

flash_image ?

Would it be possible to use the onboard flash_image program INSTEAD of the whole dev sdk to flash the raw graphic onto the proper MTD device?

I honestly don't need to 'develop' for the platform yet, and don't want to install the SDK at work.

Just curious :)

ok so i have been staring at my terminal for about 25 minutes since typing

rgb2565 /home/me/splash.raw /home/me/splash.raw565

how long should it take for this thing to convert? i'm going to bed soon and just gonna hope it converts while i sleep
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] slackmagic:
make sure you do

rgb2565 < /home/me/splash.raw > /home/me/splash.raw565

to make it clearer:

rgb2565 < /home/me/splash.raw > /home/me/splash.raw565

my system finished that in less than 2 seconds if you know what I mean :)
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] tubaking182:
wow n00b mistake, just thought those were to show that you type in the path to the file, oh well, now to flash

and cause i'm from the St. Louis area
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] tubaking182:
easy script

since i love to do things the easy way, and i know others do too, i wrote a script for the linux users.

1. download the attached file and unzip it wherever you like

2. type chmod +x CustomBoot.sh into the terminal

3. get a picture that you would like and edit it to your liking, make sure it is 320x480 and save it as splash.png

4. put splash.png in the same directory as CustomBoot.sh

5. open up a terminal and cd to the directory with CustomBoot.sh

6. start phone in bootloader (power+camera)

7. in the terminal as root type sudo ./CustomBoot.sh. the terminal should clear itself and take a few seconds then your phone should reboot.

8. enjoy the fact that you were lazy and stare at your new boot screen

this script has been tested on my phone and made what took 10 minutes before(not counting my n00b issues) take about 30 seconds, if i had a mac or windows i would write easy ways for those too, but i don't. i love ubuntu. this script is for those that only want one boot screen, i will write another tomorrow with a second boot screen and more instructions for that. hope this made life easier for someone
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] xsoft:
Success ... maybe.

Just for make this clear .. how long do you see boot image?

Because my custom image is there for 1-2 sc, and ten for 5+ sec T1 default logo (then green flashing android ..etc).

It looks for half job, or did I done something wrong (all acording tutorial, size match).
