ok, then, the way i usually do it is to take the rom, open with winrar, delete the bootanimation.zip, add the bootanimation.zip i want (i rename it to whatever the original was named) then sign the rom zip with update-zip-packager-2 and then flash that

i thought the easy way might work..

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ljohnson1981:
nope fastboot usb and adb commands due to the partition for the splash screen
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
The reason for this is because you are not inside your Android SDK tools folder, where the adb.exe file resides.

You need to:

1. Download the Android SDK (if you haven't already)

2. Extract the SDK archive

3. Move the extracted SDK folder to root of the C: drive. (Local Disk)

**If you need a video tutorial, here you go.**

4. Open Command prompt, enter this command:

cd Androidsdk\tools

The "Androidsdk" directory name will more than likely be different for you, but it'll be the folder name you have just moved to the C: Drive. Once you've cd'd into your AndroidSDK directory, follow the previous steps I had given you.

Here's a splash screen I made using one of the wallpapers that came with ManUp's rEVOlution theme. I didn't make this wallpaper, just created the splash screen of it. All credit goes to ManUp.

I'm running Myn's Two Point Two ROM which uses ManUp's theme. Lots of black and green. So this splash screen fits well with that.

Here is my boot animation again minus the DROID text, since our phones aren't in the DROID line I decided it was silly to have it there.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Trident:
Thank you very much. I really liked this one, but didn't want to use it because of the DROID.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
Well.. for the EVO, you'll need to take whatever you want animated and make it into a sequence of images. Are you wanting only one image or do you have a set of images?

If you have a link, go ahead and post it, I can create the rest for you, including the animation... or send me a PM.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] kgill113:
Thanks, i got it workin. Do u know how i can make a Pic a bootscreen? The image i have is to big and i need to make it into frames, i guess
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] kgill113:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Max_Pain:
pseudoremora,

do you know of any bootanimation with a good "loading" part at the end? i have the droid animation customized heavily to my personal use, but i'm wanting to add at the end something saying "loading..." with something animated...could be even the periods animated, or like the windows loading bar....something so that from the end of my bootanimation to when the lockscreen comes up it's not on a black screen.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
Alright, sounds good. Though if it's only one pic, you can just shrink it and just have that one frame be your "bootanimation"... though technically it won't actually animate, as it is one frame.

Well... to be honest, I personally like what I've done with my bootanimation. I'm not trying to show it off or anything, just saying I like the Nexus one sign lighting up. You can use that if you'd like... just go ahead and rip out the "loading" folder, modify the .png files to your liking, and add it to yours. Otherwise... I can always make you a "Loading" animation, if that's what you'd like.

Though, if the second option is what you'd want, PM me with what you have so I can make the "Loading" animation coherent with your current bootanimation.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
Excellent work as usual. Just a quick question, am I right in thinking that you're creating your animations inside a video editing program and then exporting them as image sequences? Because judging from the quality, it seems that way... well that and the fact that there are 300 png files.:rolleyes:

Transformers fans?

Hey everyone. I'm really getting into all this personalizing of our EVOs. I usually don't like sound on my boots, as I don't have to worry about anything when I have to boot up in, say, church or in the middle of the night. Baked Snack's BIOS bootup didn't have any sounds but when I changed to Myn's Warm there was one - which prompted me to look at how to change/remove them.

Just as I was messing around I remember I always LOVED the sounds at the beginning of the Transformers movies (one and two are different). These ones:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icBXkuJdYRU

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bq5AWjAJZ5w

I put them on my phone for the hell of it and love it. Figured maybe someone out there might want to mess around with it.

I have included the separate sections for each movie - the initial sound that comes up with the Dreamworks logo where the boy is fishing and the lure hits the water, and then the sound of the stars flying in.

Enjoy!

ps: I threw in a classic "transforming" sound, just for good measure for the G1 fans... you know, the "chook-chook-chook" sound :)

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] kiwiBeans:
Splash or boot animation? I believe Myn has the stock splash posted over in his Warm twoPOINTtwo thread. For the record, his splash screen is awesome - it's like the stock one but on a black background. Looks much slicker and doesn't blind you on boot with the stark white screen.

So I flashed the droid "X" boot animation with no problem but now when I go to flash the Nexus X .zip it still shows my old boot animation upon re-boot. I've tried twice in a row to no avail and have followed the usual flash steps that I always do. Am I doing something wrong or is this file simply not flashable for the EVO? If this has already been covered in this thread let me apologize in advance and if someone does have the link to the right .zip file would you please be so kind as to point me in the right direction...

My first Splash Screen

Here is my first round at making a splash screen for my EVO hope you like it. I am rooted via UNREVOKED so this is the method I used to place it on my phone. Just rename the .zip file to PC36IMG.zip and place it in the root of your SD Card. Now reboot your device into HBOOT by removing the battery and reinserting it, or just power down. Now pressing VOLUME DOWN, , and press the POWER button at the same time. When prompted Do you want to start update?, press VOLUME UP for Yes. When prompted again Do you want to reboot device?, press VOLUME UP for Yes.

Done

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
How exactly are you wanting it to be made? What exactly are you wanting the animation to do?

If VirusROM is a Sense based ROM, you'll need to push the bootanimation inside::/system/customize/resource. However, before you do, it's probably best if you delete the current one inside that directory and then copy the new one over.

This is more than likely because you have the incorrect HBoot version. When you reboot into bootloader mode (the white screen with the 3 androids), make sure your Hboot version reads .76 and not .79.

So, I am having a weird issue with my bootscreens...

So, I tried to modify the files in the /system/customize/resource. No matter how I get the bootanimation.zip file there, either using adb push or using a flash from sd in recovery, never works.

The only way that I can change the boot animation is when I go into the /system/media

This normally would not be an issue, but if I try and used a flashable screen, then I have to flash it, then go and adb into the phone and do an mv bootanimation.zip /system/media

Any ideas?

Running Caulking 1.6.1b rom on Froyo.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
This is a not a problem with the bootanimation. This is a issue with the actual ROM itself.

Caulkin's ROM by default requires that your bootanimation(s) reside within /system/media and NOT /system/media/customize. More than likely this can be changed in either the build.prop or init.rc. Otherwise, I would consider leaving it the way it is and continue pushing your bootanimation's to the specified directory.

If you have flashable zips, you'll need to change the directories inside them and also have to resign, then flash.

Hope that helps.

Help!!...with My Custom Boot Animation

I've been working my on custom Boot animation for the evo on After effects..I had a good buddy of mind on here make me one. So what I did was started making my own and tried to replace the files he had with mine. He's was flashable.

I changed the #'s 480 480 30 to 480 800 30 in the desc.txt...render the animation and it came out to be about 100 png files...so I was thinking that it would work if I just deleted his files, replaced them with mine..and Nothing!

Now the file I've attached is large..So I had to change the dimensions to 240 240 30 in the desc.txt file just so I could post it.

So I was hoping that I could email someone the zip and they could get it working for me..either flashable or though PushBoot.

Evo X-Ray splash screen

This is a real x-ray image of my own Evo, looks like you are looking inside the phone. I thought it looked crappy as a wallpaper, but awesome as a splash screen (or just a photo to show people). Here's downloads of a bitmap and a flashable zip (flashable zip for unrevoked forever users) and a jpg for your photo gallery.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] weirdia:
I think that's true for boot animations, but to flash a splash screen from a .zip you need s=off NAND unlock (whatever that means) via unrevoked forever (default setting if you rooted you Evo with unrevoked3). Then you place a PB31IMG.zip on your SD card and start in the bootloader (hboot) and it should prompt you to apply the update. Full instructions here:

Can someone help convert this splash screen into a flashable zip(clockworkmod). Thanks.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] weirdia:
You can't flash a splash screen from recovery, only from the bootloader. If you have the engineering bootloader, you can flash it from your PC over USB when in FASTBOOT mode. Instructions are included in many messages such as this one:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8033908&postcount=5177

Or if you disable security with unrevoked forever (s=off), you can flash from the SD card a special image file named PB31IMG.zip (tutorial link one message above).
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] evolishesh:
Is not doing anything. anyother deas?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
This is incorrect. The link you are using is for the Incredible and as such, the PB31IMG.zip file is associated with the Incredible, not the Evo. The EVO's bootloader is programmed to read a different file name, which is PC36IMG.zip and will have to have a matching android-info.txt file inside it. Only then will it flash successfully upon booting into bootloader mode.

Here is the information that needs to go inside the android-info.txt (source)::

modelid: PC3610000
cidnum: SPCS_001
mainver: 3.26.651.6
hbootpreupdate:3
DelCache: 0
DelUserData:0

Then grab any splash screen you want, rename the file to splash1 and put both

splash1.img

and

android-info.txt

inside a folder called PC36IMG.zip (the letters must be capitalized!). After you've done this and zipped the file, you can place this file on the root of your sdcard. Reboot into bootloader mode and the file will be recognized, you should be able to flash and reboot your phone successfully.

The reason for it not working is explained above, but I've listed directions for the EVO and those should allow you to flash successfully.

Quick frankly, fastboot is pretty simple. If you have .76 Hboot, you should be okay to flash any splash screen you like.

The fastboot command::

fastboot flash splash1 evosplash3.rgb565

EDIT 1:: I've added the PC36IMG.zip file for the EVO, download the file, extract it, remove the splash1.img currently present and replace with the new splash image of your choice (make sure you name the new file to splash1 first!). Zip the file back up, place on the root of your sdcard, and reboot into bootloader. Follow the directions as prompted upon entering bootloader mode. After flashing and rebooting, you should remove the PC36IMG.zip file from the SDcard, so that you won't be prompted to flash again when entering bootloader mode in the future.

EDIT 2:: I can confirm that this method does work. Please note however that I currently have Hboot ver: .076 and S-OFF.
