[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Arcarsenal:
Thanks for the tip, herbys. I had to do something similar on my Nokia N95 to fix the wobble in the slider.

I've had three T-Mobile TP2s so far and the lip is most noticeable on my third and current unit. My co-worker has one and his sits perfectly flush. I imagine it's just a small fluke on the assembly line, but I wonder how widespread the issue really is.
[Android Themes] charnsingh_online:
I would like to request users to post all there boot images in a single thread for all other users. and i would also request a boot image that is the Gucci and FBI boot image modded for mytouch that is available in the dream forum, i can post them if you can't find coz with those images i can make a perfect boot ROM(special Hero) highly modded and highly cool if anybody can mod the images for my touch or just use the name magic. with that if done i can make a secure and cool hero ROM that will run as fast as cyanogen's and Good boot and graphics

This is updated with the latest tool. (Windows)

I included a zip with all files you may need at the bottom of the post.

1. Turn off your phone

2. Turn on the phone into bootloader (camera+power).

Make sure it say fastboot in the middle if not hit back and it should appear-

3. Make sure your device is found in device manger

If you don't see adb device up top in device manger find the yellow mark devices

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

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

4. Open and extract the below zip to your desktop

You should now have a custom and fastboot folder on your desktop

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

6. Type cd desktop then cd fastboot

7. If you would not like to flash the sample images skip to step 9

8. copy and paste the command line by line

fastboot flash splash1 mysplash.rgb565

fastboot flash splash2 mysplash.rgb565

fastboot reboot

Part 2 Making your own images

9. Open up the "create" folder

10. Run CreateG1Splash.exe

11. Open up your image in the program and click convert

12. Go to the folder of your images and their you will find mysplash.rgb565

13. Place the mysplash.rgb565 into the fastboot folder

14. copy and paste the command line by line

fastboot flash splash1 mysplash.rgb565

fastboot flash splash2 mysplash.rgb565 (maybe the mytouch or magic spl does not have splash2 partition. dont panic if it gives any error. it cannot brick the phone)

fastboot reboot

i just copied it from the dream forum so credits to them

I finally found the images on my hard drive, so here they are. Can anybody replace G1 with mytouch

[Android Themes] MurderDeathKill:

[Android Themes] charnsingh_online:
Using fastboot

We can change the using fastboot and boot images tool, ican upload it if requested
[Android Themes] woo456:
Here's mine. I included the .jpg and the .rgb565 file for easy use, if anyone would want it.
[Android Themes] khuonk:
if u can upload that it would be nice. i wanna try to mamke a nice boot screen. if u have some tutorial on how to make the glow also would be nice, sorry im still new to this as mytouch is my first android phone.
[Android Themes] iWantDonut:
Here's one for ya

myBoot.zip has both a jpg and the raw565 file. Enjoy :)

edit: Also decided to add the original boot image that spawned this - myOriginalBoot.zip

edit: I finally got that peeing Andy working on this thing! framework-res.apk attached. You need to do the following:

Update your 32b phone to Cyanogen 4.1.2.1

Unzip framework-res.apk from the framework-apk.zip attachment

From a shell, run:

adb remount

adb push /path/to/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework.apk

Now reboot your phone and enjoy your custom boot splash followed by the animation of Andy peeing on an apple that looks suspiciously familiar.

Note - I take no credit for the images you see here. I simply compiled them into boot screens for your enjoyment.

Charnsingh - Try these

I put these together in like 5 minutes, so if you want me to change something or if it's not quite perfect, let me know and I'm happy to correct.

Enjoy!

BTW - nice work on the Debian installer, got it running on my myTouch right now and I can't get over having LXDE on my phone :)

edit - I just noticed the FBI screen had Dream written on it, so you'll notice I made some adjustments to that graphic as well.
[Android Themes] charnsingh_online:
For the lxde just install vnc viewer from the market then start debian. After that go to vnc after sometime and input the values given and you Will be running lxde. Have any problem pm me. Thanks for the edit I will throw on a Gucci FBI Rom tomorrow. Just gimme your name and I will make a special one for you (with login and pass)
[Android Themes] charnsingh_online:
maybe i may just give the files coz i cant keep on updating each and every hero ROM, and people it will be universal, can be used on any hero ROM. I will create a one click file for windows and mac(you must have adb set up) and one for the phone. Files will be build.conf, the edited system files, the sound files, some image files and sim tracker app from market if you would like that. The editing will not affect the speed, i can also make a speedu script for hero as i have done for my phone which needs to be run every time you flash a hero ROM, just message me

flash troubles...

how long does it take to flash the new splash screen??? my cmd is sitting at sending 'splash1' <300kb>...

and not moving--- anyways i have another question..

there is HBOOT and FASTBOOT...

when im in FASTBOOT it says sending 'splash1' <300kb>... FAILED <remote: not allow>

when im in HBOOT it just sits at sending 'splash1' <300kb>...until i close or do something else to stop it... i let it sit for 20 min--- no way in hell should it take that long
[Android Themes] thisoneguy:
It never takes more than a second for me...

[Android Themes] zeroplace:
I have tried over and over to install the USB driver and it will not install. Im running Win7. Is this my issue and how can I get the driver to work so I can run FastBoot?
[Android Themes] thisoneguy:
+1 you need to root.
[Android Themes] thisoneguy:
I run win7, hadn't had any problems... Plug the phone in... it will say somthing about hadware not install, open up device manager, go to the one with the yellow causion sign right click update driver, install from my computer, browse to where you have the 'usb driver' folder from the SDK and click okay... should be all you need.
[Android Themes] zeroplace:
Ok... got it working but now when I try it... the command line continues to say "Waiting on Device". It just stays like that. Any ideas?
[Android Themes] htcclay:
This will not work on 32b phones with stock SPL.

1.33.2005 SPL should allow you to change the 1st splash screen but not the 2nd.
[Android Themes] zeroplace:
Can this be changed?
[Android Themes] chris-steenkamp:
The remote not allow error means that your spl is the shipment version (S-On). With this kind of spl you can't flash anything which is unsigned (like a splash screen). You need to get an engineering spl, try looking here on the forums under android development. As for HBoot, don't mess with it. If something goes wrong and you stuff up your hboot partition you'll be left with a brick!
[Android Themes] htcclay:
As he said be very careful when picking and flashing your SPL.

I am not responsible if you brick your phone!!!!

IF YOUR PHONE IS ROOTED.

IF YOU HAVE CM'S OR RA'S RECOVERY IMAGE.

IF YOU HAVE A MYTOUCH 3G 32B.

IF YOUR RADIO IS 2 22 19 26I.

then you should only need to download SPL from below to the root of your sd and update through choose update in recovery.

http://sapphire-port-dream.googlecode.com/files/spl-signed.zip

Follow instructions on screen.

If all goes well you should now be able to flash only the first splash screen.

[Android Themes] htcclay:
Follow everything from the first post.
[Android Themes] zeroplace:
Did that and Im still showing the same info in the fastboot mode and even when I try to flash the splash, it hangs at "waiting on device".
[Android Themes] htcclay:
Sounds like your driver.

Try re-installing your fastboot driver.

Make sure you have the correct drivers also.
[Android Themes] zeroplace:
Ok... I was able to flash the inital splash. Now when I try to flash splash2, it tells me that the partition does not exist. Whats the work around for this? Do I need to setup my sd card differently?
[Android Themes] htcclay:
Nope. Your SPL won't allow it.:cool:
[Android Themes] htcclay:
Remember...
[Android Themes] zeroplace:
I do. Could you pm me on how to change or flash the SPL to one that will allow me to do these things?
[Android Themes] htcclay:
Sorry man... you now know all I know about SPL's.

You can look here but I would be careful.

You probably don't want a mytouch paperweight.;)

[Android Themes] technicolor:
How can i backup the original splash screen before replacing it, so if i need to put it back i do have the image? Or if there is another easy way to revert back?

And thanks for all the SPL related info, for Mytouch it was very helpful.
[Android Themes] htcclay:
You don't really need to backup your splash.

Just find a copy of your splash and if needed flash it back.

Much easier then trying to extract it.

I see it says H after the S-OFF H, did I mess it up? I thought I was using one for the G. It boots fine, does not seem to be broken or anything, but that H worries me.

ANd is the only way to change the boot screen is using fastboot on a pc? Or can it be done within the phone? Like the update.zip methods for themes, and roms?
[Android Themes] schtuka:
I have no issues flashing any boot screen or ROM. If it worries you try another SPL. Also, I am not aware of other ways to change boot screen unless new Amon Ra recovery 1.2.3. with full ADB option allows that. I haven't tried it. Installing SDK is very simple.
[Android Themes] bonesy:
here are my splashs, to use unzip files then for splash screens....

[Android Themes] charnsingh_online:
Check the file name, i think it maybe different or rename the file. Then splash it, i had these problems when i was new to these things
[Android Themes] scrufy:
And make sure your using a raw file -- not just a jpg or png renamed to .565:)
[Android Themes] Mr3G:
charsingh: rename the file to what? From what I've read it has to be a RGB565 format in order to be able to flash it to the phone?

scrufy: I used the converter tool to change my png image to rgb565? It says to only use a rgb format in order to flash otherwise the phone will not accept it, but you're saying to flash the raw.file? I'm lost now? :confused:
[Android Themes] bonesy:
when you use the g1splash screen tool it will put a file called mysplash.rgb565

this is the one you should flash. I ALWAYS drag and drop the file from that folder into the cmd window it looks like this.......
[Android Themes] scrufy:
The 565 file is what I meant by raw. Right from the convert tool. I had a friend trying and he renamed the .jpg without converting it, that won't work is all I meant...

[Android Themes] cauli:
In order to flash splash images you need to first replace your spl (secondary program loader: the code run when you fastboot) with an unlocked version.
[Android Themes] DichEd:
thx cauli, I finally learned what the spl acronym actually means!

Now in more details - is the unlocked spl what people usually refer to as "danger spl" ? can it cause any other issues with my magic? I've read that one doesn't need the danger spl for running the cyanogenmod rom, but I don't know if it's ok to have the danger-spl AND cyanogenmod.
[Android Themes] cauli:
Sorry, I'm only familiar with the Hero. I would guess: Yes, probably. Yes in as much as flashing an spl or radio both offer higher chances of bricking your phone, aiui, than just flashing boot, system or recovery. Lastly, probably yes. However hopefully someone familiar with the Magic can offer definitive answers.

[Edit] Actually I'm less sure about the first answer. This thread might help: HardSPL versus Haykuro's "Danger" SPL versus Engineering SPL
