Greetings, excited to make my first post

Hello and Thank you. I spent a little time tonight reading through you tutorial and I gave it a shot myself. I had so much fun I decided to register and share. I have had my dinc for quite some time, I rooted right away, but kept the rest stock until now. I wish that I had dabbled deeper sooner. Thanks again.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] minhthanh3412:
I have rooted & S-offed and I put PB31IMG.zip at root of SD card, then reboot to hboot, but nothing happen :( What should I do :(
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Pons:
Is your sd FAT32? If you haven't formatted it, that's probably the issue.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] minhthanh3412:
I found my phone is Incredible S, so I think that is problem :p

{Q}Remove Splash Screen?

Such a great post;

But i came here for one reason, am looking for a way to remove my splash screen. as the time of writing this, my phone has 2 splash screen (or boot screen if i may say)- 2 from 2 different ROMS that i installed, I want to remove the 1st splash screen. Any Idea how i can do that? Thanks
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Pons:
Slightly confused. You should have a splash1 screen and a boot animation (usually an animation, not picture). You can remove the boot ani, but not splash1, to my knowledge, not that I've tried. And most/all ROMs should not touch the splash1 screen. You have to do that yourself. Can we get a picture of the two (and you say what you wanna remove) for clarification?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] xdagee:
I have a splash1 screen (which is an image i flashed on my previous rom) and a boot animation (which is my newly installed rom).

I want to remove the previous splash screen.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Pons:
Well, I don't think you can take off/bypass the splash1 completely. You could replace it with a black/blank screen, though.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] xdagee:
but previously it wasnt like that; until i flashed with the splash1 i got from this thread #897

so i had this guys splash1 and then the roms bootscreen. now i have cyangenMod and the splash1 still shows followed by the default CyanogenMod bootanimation.

Is this tutorial going to spare me from the stock boot image time? It takes 10 seconds untill the boot logo ?

Wrong colours

Saving in GIMP with the options “24 bits (R8 G8 B8) color”, the colours are wrong, e.g. blue shows up as red.

Swapping the colours in GIMP also doesn’t get me the right result. Red (which I want to display as Blue) becomes Yellow‽

Edit: it was an error in the code (missing masking the bits, signed integer underflow), fixed here: https://github.com/poliva/nbimg/pull/4
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] texanaustinite:
Running Win 7 and had same issue with app crashing.

Saved bmp as 24-bit and it worked! Thanks for the tip!

Here's the one I made. Simple but I like it.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] chris61292:
24 bit is thousands of colors or 24? i want to say its thousands but idr
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] melophat:
sorry for the late quote. I'm on win7 x64
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] whiplash000:
24-bit color. 8 bits for red, 8 for green, and 8 for blue. 8 bits = 256 values. 256^3=16 million colors.

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] DeeBG:
Technically 16,777,216 to be exact =p. The highest colour palette that I am aware of (or that actually has practical uses) is 48-bit, which as you would expect uses double the amounts of bits for RGB (which according to my calculator gives you a range of 281,474,976,710,656 colors, which believe it or not I've used with visible success over 24-bit in photo editing). There are some REALLY stupidly expensive digital cameras that can work even outside of these modes by using floating-points instead of a pre-defined bit limit.

There is also the heavily-used alpha channel which is used to control transparencies, but this is only represent as 1-bit (aka 50% transparency would be 0.5). Multiple alpha channels can be used but this is not very common for daily editing purposes.

Useless information provided by Starbucks-induced insomnia!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fader01:
Thanks deficitism for the tutorial and everyone else for the help, just saving the same img as 24bit in paint and it works fine.

Here is mine
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Smabbage:
The question I have is, will this work for the second splash screen as well?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] two_cents:
second splach screen>? the one that says "htc Quietly brilliant"? thats your boot animation... if so... just change your bootanimation.zip and that goes away..
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] bradatz:
Can I take someone elses zip and edit their bmp to my liking. I know you can change the iso to bmp.ng but can you go from bmp.ng to bmp? I haven't tried yet.

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] syrguy1969:
I seem to have an issue with using this tool. I admit I am not good with cmd usage, but when I can get to a fulder with this tool and an image I want to convert (I wound up using the SDK folder as I couldn't get cmd to identify any other folder) I type in the command exactly as stated in the first post:

nbimg -F splash1.bmp -w 480 -h 800

but all I get is:

'nbimg' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

any suggestions ir ideas?

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] J.New:
If you're on windows, make sure to run the command as nbimg.exe -F ..., if you're on linux, run it as ./nbimg.exe -F ..., should work!

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] ihtfp69:
You can also grab it from the ruu.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] zalez:
A screenshot of the command window would help us determine whats wrong. Sounds like you are not in the correct folder when issuing the command.

the .exe isn't necessary on windows.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] uarefunnytome:
Pardon The Lack of Expertise What Is An Ruu...I Did look at the original post and could not find a link to the file....Thanks
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Hand76:
Ohhh very good any chance this can be done with a red glow instead of green?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] J.New:
Thanks for the correction haha! I don't work with windows usually, so I was just going out on a limb there. The linux part is correct though. :)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] deficitism:
Sorry about that. Turns out I had the link in my other post. I have updated the OP in this thread to include a 'revert to stock splash' package.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] execute_method:
Is nbimg in your sdk directory along with the splash1.bmp you are trying to convert?

If I were you, I'd read up a little on how to use command line.

Yep sounds like you aren't in the same directory as your file

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] syrguy1969:
OK....I have come to the conclusion it wasn't me or this great little app, it is the way my home laptop is running cmd (on Vista). I know some have said I need to learn more about using cmd (no argument there, I know next to nothing about it) but I came to work today (XP PC) and tried again withoug issue. I was ablr to navigate to whatever folder I wanted, convert my images and I am all set...all three took under a minute!!!

Now I am left with a decision...I like them all LOL!!! Here they are (some people seem to be posting their creations) They need tweaking, and I want to get the details better, but I had to try this out:
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] rdmerck:
Being that the Linux download link is yielding a zip file with a Windows *.exe, attached is a compiled version of source code for Linux.

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] :
Question...how do you make it a 24 bit rgb image on gimp?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] rdmerck:
Edit the file as you usually would.

File->Save As->Click the "Select File Type (By Extension) Option->Scroll Down to, and Select "Windows BMP"->Save as splash1.bmp and Click Save->On the Window that Appears, Click "Advanced Options"->Select the "R8 G8 D8" option under "24 Bits" and click Save.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Ang3lmack:
I created the zip file put it in the sd card rebooted my phone and in hboot it says parsing the file and then goes back to hboot without loading the image, any suggestions?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] syrguy1969:
Close, but apparently no cigar......

I followed the directions to the letter on the first post, but when I place the zip file on the SD card and install through hboot my Incredible starts out with a white screen with three scateboarding android figures and then goes to the stock one. I added my files if anyone would be so kind as to look over them and see if I have made a mistake. I added the original bmp image as well as the zip file I placed on my card.

Thanks for any advise/corrections.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] rdmerck:
To the two posters above me, have you installed unrevoked forever?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] syrguy1969:
Yes, I have installed it and got the confirmation "s-off" message as well.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] rdmerck:
Hm... I regurgitated it and recompiled it. See if it works for you.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] syrguy1969:
Thanks, I'll try it out as soon as I get home (at work right now and don't have a way of getting it to my phone).

I'll let you know

edit: Thanks again for the help, but it still is not working. I will have to play around with it more. Maybe trying to re-apply the unrevoked forever? Is there a way of doing something that confirms it is done without just doing it all over again? (not to sound like a complete noob, I do get the s-off message when I restart now, I mean some app or command that should only work if s-off was actually in effect? I just can't figure out why it looks like unrevoked forever took and is sticking yet the first thing I try doesn't work!

Thanks again!!!!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Ang3lmack:
Yes I do have s-off, I checked the zip in astro and both files are in the image zip, I've loaded other custom splashes but can't seem to get mine to work
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] zalez:
Not sure what difference it makes, but your bmp dimensions are wrong. they should be 480x800
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] syrguy1969:
OK....in a word....DUH!!!!! Thanks for catching that one, I can't believe I missed it (see what a fresh pair of eyes will do?). I'm not sure what it does either, but I will try it out. Unfortunately the conversion app in cmd doesn't work on my computer, so I have to wait until I get to work tomorrow to convert and try it out. I'll let you know if it works....thanks again for the catch!!

edit...OK I get anal when I want to get something to work, so I got on my neighbor's computer and converted the image and it worked!!!! The size difference is what did it!!!! Thanks all!!!!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] WhosToBlame:
Worked like a charm. Thanks
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] WoZeR:
Here's one I did that anyone wants to test with can.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] cooljames2186:
Help please!!!

I get an error in CMD which states " [!!] could not open "splash1.bmp"

why?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] WoZeR:
because splash1.bmp isn't in the same directory as nbimg.exe
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] cooljames2186:
Actually they are...I have both Nbimg and splash1.bmp in the same folder(directory)..it finds the file, but state's the above. 480x800,24bit,RGB...So I'm lost.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] zalez:
in a cmd prompt, navigate to the directory that has Nbimg and the bmp. Do a dir and paste your results here
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] cooljames2186:
Let me stop being lazy...the full error states this:

[]File: splash1.bmp

[!!] Could not open 'splash1.bmp'

and they are both in this directory c:\documents\nbimg\
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] WoZeR:
copy and paste your command line and post it here.

It should look something like this.

Also, if you are launching a command prompt then executing nbimg you need to make sure you CD to the folder first then execute it.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] cooljames2186:

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] cooljames2186:
See I'm sure this is all correct...I have lots of experience with CMD, but this error is too odd...I did use Photoshop CS3 to make the BMP...but i'm sure that shouldn't matter right?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] WoZeR:
Its wrong. You are in the directory "C:\Documents and Settings\jdt5xnz" and you are telling it to execute nbimg in the directory nbimg.

make sure you are in the folder with nbimg.exe is and your splash1.bmp

do a DIR and look at the results you should see both before you execute the command.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] cooljames2186:
Clearly I feel like a dumb simpsons character...oh well. Thanks for your help...I'll post the fruit of my labor and your wisdom here....

Okay I made alterations to this image however all credit goes to the original creator...I spruced the color of the hair and lips and added a droid incredible...my phone...and of course the text as well...besides that...it's the creators' work...here's a hyperlink to the preview:

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] onodontbescurred:

ok so i dl'd nbimg and I try to unzip it using 7zip and it tells me the the compressed folder is invalid or corrupted. is there something im doing wrong or does anyone have a good mirror?

edit: nevermind internet explorer sucks, It downloaded fine on chrome
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Shidasko:
Evening or even Early Morning for some folks!

I have been working at this process for the last few hours and I am completely stumped.

Of course Droid Incredible is the phone I am working on.

S-off (Unrevoked Forever)

Hboot .79

Radio 2.15.00.07.28

Skyraider 2.5.2

CWM 2.5.0.5

I am trying to use this particular splash screen instead of the standard unrevoked screen. However, I can not get the phone to recognize the file to boot it up.

I am read every post in this section from page 1-9. I can successfully create the file, well according the command prompt I am.

the file was created in Mspaint as a 24-bit image file.

When I boot up into bootloader, I see my system information, then I see the standard

after that, I do not get the "do you want to apply update?" message or anything for the new zip.

Does anyone have any new ideas??
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Casbah:

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Stoney 666:
Make sure you place the resized image in the nbimg folder. Then open your cmd and run those commands that are posted in the following steps.

cd is the dos command for change directory in the command window. I just threw nbimg and the bmp in the sdk tools directory and ran the command from there.

So in my instance I would type:

cd d:\Android\tools
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] 2005blkgto:
Gave that a try but I keep getting a error, something about file cannot be found, am I doing something wrong here?

I followed the steps and renamed the 480x800 pictures splash1.bmp and saved it as a 24bmp file like the instructional say.

I am sorry for the stress but I have been away from this stuff for awhile and am a bit shaky on it, all help possible would be helpful lol

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Stoney 666:
Were do you have your image? It should be in the nbimg folder.

___________________________________

Hit me up for custom splash screens and wallpapers... stoney 666
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] clambert11:
Ok, not to sound ignorant, but you extracted the nbimg.exe file from the zip file right?

Let's just try and make it as simple as possible right now.

Extract the nbimg.exe file from the zip file and throw it in the root of C:\

Place your splash1.bmp in the same spot C:\

Now go to Start | Run | cmd

type in cd c:\

Verify the nbimg.exe file is there by typing dir nb*. It should list the file.

Verify the splash1.bmp is there by typing dir sp*. It should list the file.

Now type in your command to execute nbimg -F splash1.bmp -w 480 -h 800

Now finish the directions.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] 2005blkgto:
I downloaded the mbimg to my documents and when I unzipped the file I save my picture in that same file, so I have the nbimg file and picture sitting together in one folder in my documents.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] 2005blkgto:
Thanks A million, I finally got somewhere!

now on to the second problem, It says "cannot open splash1"
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] 2005blkgto:
^^^^^ never mind it was a IMG issue, I tried another picture and it worked!

so after the steps I turned it in a zip folder and renamed it "PB31IMG.zip" and loaded it to the root of my drive and did the hboot. it just sat there and did nothing.

I followed the steps, renamed the file to the splash1.bmp than took that file and other files and turned them into a zip file and named ir PB31IMPG.zip

after thats I put it on the root of my card and shut down the phone and loaded it into Hboot, it read the file but after that it did nothing it just gave me the normal options.

Now what did I do wrong.

I the steps are explained in plain English and I did how it says.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Stoney 666:
You probably need to format your sdcard

FAT32. Save everything from your sdcard on your comp and format it. Should work after that.

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] 2005blkgto:
Here you go at this point I have followed the steps as it said, I even download one of the custom screens some one already did on here and I tried to load that and it still did not do it. matter in fact when I try to change the boot screen It won't allow me to do that either.

Take a look and try to do it.

I appreciate all the help far!

How do I check?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Stoney 666:
Well if you have no idea then you probably don't.that is something you need to do by flashing a file. Go to hboot, on top of the screen it will either say s-on or s-off. If it says s-on, you need to search that thread and do those steps first. Search "unrevoked forever" that will solve your problems. If for some reason it is s-off, then I am out of ideas... Sorry.
