Splash screen

Can someone please help me ? I made a splash screen loaded it and it worked fine, I made another one loaded it and now it shows up for a split second then I get a white screen with 3 androids on skateboards...lol

I also want to know where that damn splash screen file is so I can delete it, maybe that will solve all my problems, thank you in advance for your help.

Edit: I also don't have to rename the file to *.img but for some reason must always be splash1 for me and I tried just about everything... :confused:

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] RegLinUsr:
FYI...

Not sure why this isn't part of the How-to but it seems that the HTC Incredible requires that the SDcard be formatted to FAT32; not FAT [default format], in order to update your splash1 image. Otherwise, all you get when attempting to do so is what's displayed below. This information should be part of the How-to IMHO. Just trying to contribute something useful.

download splashflasher to desktop..(do not hook up phone wen using)

make a folder on destop named PB31IMG..put android info txt file in it

find image uwant(must be 480x800,i use photoscape or gimp for resizing & edit)

take 480x800 image & put in splashflasher "put image here folder"(double check size)

hit "hit click here in splashflasher to convert to an img file...follow promps..

after conversion inside "place image here" u'll see custom.img.

rename custom.img to splash1.img & place in PB31IMG folder

use winrar or w/e to zip up txt & img file(make sure to zip under store setting)

done!!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] ssethv:
I tried to do this exact same method last night and it would not work for me, but I will try it again tonight and see if I have any better results... I tried a couple different methods but it could just be operator error... lol...

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] ssethv:
heres my problem

OK... again, thank you for the Directions (they did and didn't work) let me explain :) once I get to the step where I have to Zip both files, I right click on the PB31IMG folder you told me to place on desktop, then I choose Send to > Compressed zip folder and it creates a new pb31img.zip file on my desktop, the problem is that there are 3 files within the zip (both you told me to create, and then it seems to create a pb31img folder also)... so when I tried to run it on my phone it just says 'parsing file' for a split second and doesnt work :( don't know why it is doing this? any Ideas.

HOW I FIGURED A WORK AROUND TO GET IT TO WORK :) I go into the PB31IMG folder on my desktop, highlight both files within that folder, right click, then send to compressed zip, that seems to work... all I had to do was just rename it PB31IMG and It worked... again, thank you very much... I want to start a thread at android central on how to teach others to do this but Im afraid that if the last step gave me a headache, i cant imagine how many others will struggle with it to...
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Rom-Addict:
Just make sure u say zip folder content not whole folder. I just open PB31IMG folder and zip 2 files & zip is already to go

Your command is wrong. It should be this.

You left the .bmp off of the splash1. Copy and paste that in and give it a go.

Stating the obvious, one of 3: might not be 480x800, might not be named splash1, might not be in 24 bit bmp format. If yes to all, might be a compress issue. Try using another program to make the bmp file. No reason this shouldn't work
