Greetings HD2 Brethren! I recently created these boot screens in Photoshop to showcase our amazing phone's unique triple-booting penta-booting capabilities! :eek: I made several versions to potentially fit everyone'stastes and strived to make the boot screens clean, simple, and appealing. My ultimate goal is the assimilation of all HD2s (compatible with both Euro and US HD2s) (Muahahahahahahaha) therefore I have compiled fourteen versions; so pick your poison ;)

Full-Res Images

I took the liberty of uploading the full-resolution BMP images of all of the boot screens. You are free to edit, modify and republish the images as you see fit (I would appreciate some credit though) or perhaps use them as a wallpaper of sorts. The file can be downloaded on the 'attachments' section of this post ('Boot Images BMP [Full Res].rar').

Uploaded color variants. Enjoy my friends!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] orangekid:
edit: oh nevermind, this is just a boot screen, doesn't actually do anything, lol
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] gus_chi:
It's a Boot Screen for the device that is flashed using 'customruu.exe'. This will replace the carrier/htc manufacturer screen that is seen when the device powers on.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] conantroutman:
These look pretty cool......

Nice job man :D
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] gus_chi:
Thanks :)

Triple boot ? Have I missed something ?

Nice looking bootscreens, I might use one once I find out what the 3rd icon represents lol :p
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] JanssoN:
It's for Ubuntu :)

Thx man, it's good work.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] qipengart:
Best boot screen ever man! Thanks for the hard work.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] th3pr1nc30f3gypt:
what if you only have 2/3? is there a Boot Screen for those with WinMo and Android?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] zarathustrax:
There's a nice one in the themes section. Don't have time to find it right now, but if you scan through the first 5-10 pages I'm sure you'll come across it.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] gus_chi:
UPDATE

Added New Variants..."The Future-Proof" Series! Check out post #2 for some screenshots and/or downloads! Please comment and provide suggestions :)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] mcbyte_it:
Is this operation reversible? I remember finding a thread that the HD2 has two locations for boot screens, one that can be restored to whatever you want, while the other is not.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] metko:
is there a way that you can brick your phone with this??
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] williambs:
Did not work from my phone...maybe I did something wrong
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] gus_chi:
Did you connect your phone via activesync on the desktop before flashing the boot screen?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] gus_chi:
This boot screen can be restored to w/e you please :)

I cannot think of such a scenario. However if you unplug your device (from the USB connection) while the flashing is taking place, the odds of bricking your device go up astronomically.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] bodybuilder27:
looking awesome dude.....cant they be run using activesync as well?

only got xp on my computer yuh see, and as far as i knowm win mo dev centree doesn't work on xp.

??

cheers

Matt
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] ollievssn:
On XP you need to connect your phone in WinMo to "Activesync"
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] DHARQAXIAN:
Quick question...., I have just switched to NAND android..., how can I run the RUU file?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] epidemic215:
Just run the bootloader on your phone(vol down reset button) then run RUU. Make sure it has USB at the bottom.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] :
I really like this boot screen, can't wait for WP7 when I can flash the future-proof one. Nice job. :D
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] DHARQAXIAN:
I have a quick question..., how can I run this from a NAND ROM - especially as I no longer have win-os on me device?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] richardderlagen:
can i get them as jpgs? so i cant use them as backgrounds:) they are awsome! thanks!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Beretta93:
Hello and nice job. Really talented.

Just one question : won't running your custom RUU overwrite MAGLDR (even if I'm sure answer is no, I'd rather ask than cry...)

Thanks.

Edit : tested myself, flashed with NAND installed, no problem, design in even better in real. Congrats.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] gus_chi:
Updated! Added a new boot screen. Introducing the Future-Proof Arc Series [POST NUMBER 2]. This has quickly become my favorite. BTW, I am now using a higher-resolution background base.

Let me know what you think!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] chrisliphart:
Any chance on WP7 only screen, or a tutorial so we can build our own?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] gus_chi:
Hmmm. I will see what I can come up with and report back on Monday. Will be gone for the weekend.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] ChaoticEko:
question.....

awesome job man, I have a question though. I was interested in doing this myself, any chance I can get some info on what dimensions, extension, etc for the boot screen, and how to package the nbh to flash? Got a new art tablet, this gives me inspiration to try and draw one similar to yours.

Any info is greatly appreciated, and keep up the great work!

Thanks!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] attaq:

What's "MG" ?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] shahabnoor:
great work.... also let us know how to revert back to original?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] ScorpioPirate:
WoW-WoW....

Just sitting here and surfing on xda forum, and come at cross this "site"..:eek:

Amazing what you are doing.... Just THANKS... :) :)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] gus_chi:
"MG" is MeeGo. A joint-venture between Nokia and Intel. It is a linux-based mobile operating system (x86) that is still highly experimental (on our devices) but has the potential to be epic.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] SuperSport:
Isn't is simply amazing what the DEV's have done with this phone? ALMOST every phone OS on one device. My hats off to all of you!

And thank you for these boot screens, I've been looking for something like this. :D

So many time's I've considered selling it, but, uh, NO, not any more.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] gus_chi:
Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day!

Two more bootscreens added to the family! Introducing the WP7 Arc and standard editions.

To flash the original white boot screen with green HTC logo, download the following file, unzip and flash it as you would mine. Let me know if you need further assistance.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Yunabeco:
There are already lots of tuts on xda about using htcrt/nbimg to create a boot screen.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] firemusicradio:
Bootloader question

THOES THIS MEAN THIS BOOTLOADER WILL ALLOW ME TO HAVE TWO SIMULTANEOUS NAND INSTALLATIONS ONE FOR WP7 AND ONE FOR ANDROID AND I CAN CHOOSE FROM BOOT SCREEN? DOES THIS ELIMINATE THE PROBLEM WITH FORMATTTING THE Card?

I have nand android currently and already installed the bootloader. Should I now remove my sd card and also flash wp7 and then put sd card back to avoid sd card being reformatted?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] ChaoticEko:
yes, i see that, but what they dont say is what resolution is acceptable for the different phones.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] polo735:
Very slick. Bow down to the HD2!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] swordfish2009:
great work dude.. number 12 is awesm
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] TheATHEiST:
lol, dude, this has absolutely NOTHING to do with dual booting, Its simply a boot-screen, ie a splash screen, the picture that loads before teh OS.

At least read the topic before replying with such funny questions :D

-----------

@ OP

Very nice screens bud, although a choice to have one without the "resistance is futile" text would have been nice. Dont get me wrong im a star trek fan but just think it looks out of place.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] maxtcee:
how does one change the android boot screens
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] l0rdsheva:
thank you, installed n. 12
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] kamy_shah:

[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] TheRomMistress:

[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] 1337shark:

[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] mosheen:
One stupid question.

Does this work on TMOUS version?

Its not mentioned anywhere.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] aenedor:
Very cool, thankyou :)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] swyecso:
is there any way I can get #11 with just the android mascot in the bottom corner in color, everything else still balck and white?

Great work tho regardless!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] odoss:
I like the meaning, but the design is not nice in my opinion can do better ^^

anyway thanks !
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] 96edwy:

[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] htc-hd2:
I would love to have my own boot screen with my name / address etc. on it!

So my question is: What did you use to create your nice boot screens?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] gus_chi:
Added your video to the main post (hope that you don't mind). Please let me know if you would like the link removed. Thanks
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] inexorable:
Thanks! Great Boot Screen =]

Nice job
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] gus_chi:
Yes, compatible with both variants of the HTC leo. Added the clarification on the main post. Thanks.

could you please create boot animation for Android NAND
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] gus_chi:
Thank you so much for the feature! ;-)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] gus_chi:
I will definitely consider it. I will need to do some research though. I am off to Google ;)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] BarrySumpter:
Bummer!

Tried 13 but would not install.

Would not install at manual boot load either.

Tried 14 worked somehow.

Then back to 13 and it worked as well.

Who knows.

Installs on my HD2 are so problematic.

Nice. Thanks. Heaps.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] 96edwy:
Yeah that's fine, thanks dude. Glad my video is worthy
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] snipersquad8:
freaking love the boot screen! gonna have to get my friend to use it, though. his install failed when he tried, but maybe i can get it to work for him
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] gus_chi:
Did your friend run the CustomRUU.exe with admin privileges?

i.e. Right click CustomRUU.exe > 'Run as Administrator'
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] blacksmith01:
Can you make tool for support custom screen?

thx for your work.

I choose 12.

It's nice~

btw Can you make tool for support custom screen?

I want change it later to my some pictures.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] swyecso:
Thanks a lot keep up the fantastic work!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] tageeboy:
Outstanding work here! Thanks button hit.

I think it would be neat if you could pull the download stats and compare which version has been d/led the most. If not maybe you can put a poll up here so users can manually enter their info to compare which one is most popular. I did not see a zip file that has all of these included, is there one and I just missed it or is that something that can be added maybe? I want to give them all a run :) Thanks again. Very nice addition to my Gingerbread MDJ HD2 beast :)

Also sorry for the leech in the first place, i given you credit in my forum post and youtube vid as of today
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] tageeboy:
These work on Android NAND brother. I just flashed my HD2 which is running MDJs_CyanogenMod7_v.2.6_NAND_A2SD+ via USB flash. Not CWM not that it matters for this action.

I was a little timid about doing it too since I have MAGLDR111 on the phone and it was not addressed spicifically in the FAQ but your good to go. Here is a little easy follow add on for the NAND users so they can rest at ease with this process.

Even though you have MAGLDR111 or MAGLDR112 on your phone you power it down. Hold volume down and press & release power one time while still holding volume down. You will see MAGLDR111 bootscreen for half a second and then go directly into the rainbow bootloader screen as per the instructions provided by the developer. Continue with his steps (run the program LOL)

Great work BTW to the developer! This is sooo cool. I just wish it stayed up on the screen while Android was booting so I could show it off more. You now have to find a way to hide a signature into the screen (if you have not already) so that you will always know your name is being broadcasted around the world on our phones :) I would for sure but I am a dork I guess..Thanks for your hard work and sharing this with everyone. Very cool of you.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] ajape:
Wow, absolutely fantastic work!!! Kudos! :D
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] sumedh_vsk:

[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] gus_chi:
LOL. No apologies necessary.... you have been extremely helpful. :) Several people suggested that I put up a link of all the boot screens in one archive so I just archived all of them (considering I included a user request mod). I will be sure to PM you if anything comes up. Thanks again.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Tiborrrr:
Hee! Maybe a stupid question, but does this small flash also delete all the files from my phone? Couldn't find the answer in the post.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] jorisvdende:
No my friend, it won't. Do not worry about that. :)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Buddha:

thanks:D
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] TheRomMistress:

Your welcome, but the thanks belongs to you. The second I saw your thread I fell in love :)...(with the boot screens that is)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] BarrySumpter:
The number 13 is really nice and I like seeing it at boot.

Anyone know of a way to put a "Resistance is Futile" sound bite with it?

I prefer the really metalic borg hive version over any others.

Kind of like the original music with the HTC signature animation.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] SuperSport:
Believe me, it wasn't meant in a rude way. The gulp is because I'm scared... ;) (At least that's what i want people to believe.)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Johev:
I was looking around the XDA portal and this article called my attention. You have received my thank of the day for that, it is a wonderful option which I'm going to use.

I like the colour ones with all the icons and android on the bottom, as it is now my main OS.

Thank you once again for your great work.

Error Message When Uploading

I have a T-Mobile HD2 with the new stock ROM. I've tried updating the boot screen 4 times, all with the same result. It gets most of the way through and ends up with an error. I've been running CustomRUU.exe with admin privileges, connected via USB and running Windows Mobile Device Center. Does the phone have to be unlocked before this will work?

Thanks.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] gus_chi:
In order to modify your phone in a manner beyond the context of the base 6.5.x OS, you will need DFT's HSPL 3. You can download it from the link below. Unfortunately there is no other way (that I am aware of).
