I'm trying to write to the system files area, but i'm getting an error of read only and remount does not work. Anyone has a clue to do that? This is for the bootanimation.

update: Since i didn't know the adb command to remount, I went ahead and did it through Root Explorer. Worked like a charm. Anybody looking to change there boot animation just push bootanimation.zip to /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip enjoy 8)

Ok, so I performed a nandroid backup, wiped to factory, cleared both caches from clockwork, and installed the cyanogenmod 6.1.0 nightly. Blue screen after the splash disappeared. Wasn't incredibly impressed by cm in it's current state, restored the backup, blue screen still gone.

Not sure if anybody else had the blue screen problem, but my guess is a backup, full system wipe, and restoring from backup, without even rebooting, should be enough to get rid of it.

Anybody try "dd"ing a splash image onto a Bell HTC Desire Z? If so, did everything work out OK?

I'm wondering cuz the partitioning layout is different between the DZ and the G2.
[G2 and Desire Z General] thatruth132:
nobody here probably have that device
[G2 and Desire Z General] wilnotdie:
It should. Find the partition number for the device's splash, and replace the strings.

Goodluck.
[G2 and Desire Z General] reukiodo:
One way to find the partition with the image is to make a backup (dd) of each partition, then try to convert them to a png. The one that converts to a png is most likely the one that has the image on it. I would start with the smallest partitions greater than 720k, since it has to be at least this size.

Of course, to be safe you should test this theory by flashing a new splash with fastboot.

Here is the splash that TmobileDas12 posted converted to img with the help from Waffleman911. Thanks and enjoy! :eek:

*Insert Legal Liability, If you brick your phone it is at no fault of mine...yada yada!*

If you want to try it just download and extract the img. Copy img to the root of your sdcard and then go into terminal emulator and type the following:

su <enter>

dd if=/mnt/sdcard/cyspalsh2.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19 <enter>

Once done then turn off phone and power on. You should see the new splash img.
[G2 and Desire Z General] thatruth132:
that command isnt working for me and i also noticed that all the other splash.img's

are the same size but this one is smaller
[G2 and Desire Z General] renn9420:
@thatruth132

Did you unzip the folder and take the img inside and put it at the root of the sdcard? If so I will reupload it tomorrow. And type exactly

su

dd if=/mnt/sdcard/cysplash2.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19

There is a space between cysplash2.img and of and its a zero for mmcblk0p19

I tried it and it worked great.

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot reboot

i just renamed yours to new_splash.img
[G2 and Desire Z General] gteye:
I noticed alot of the boot animaitons are files that are 480x854.

These boot animations work fine on the G2.

What I did was take one of the images out of one of my favorite boot animations, change its size to 480x800 and then convert it with ffmpeg and flashed it with fastboot and it worked fine.

I was wondering though, would a 480x854 work once converted to an img?

Would the system scale/crop as needed as it does with the boot animations or would it just not work?

I assume it wouldn't break anything if it failed as long as you could get back to fastboot to flash a new image.
[G2 and Desire Z General] reukiodo:
I just tested this on some random 480x854 image off of google and it worked fine for me. It does not scale, it crops the last 54 lines off.

When you convert it to a raw image, the file ends up being 819840 bytes, which is still ok since the partition is 1MB, so it will still fit. When the G2 boots up, the spl probably only loads the first 768000 bytes (as that is all the screen can display anyway), so the rest (51840 bytes or 54 lines) are completely ignored.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gteye:
Fantastic!

Thanks for responding. One less thing to be petrified doing!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Radioactive Death:
Very cool. Worked like a charm for me!
[G2 and Desire Z General] RyanMacG:
I'm curious is there a size limit?
[G2 and Desire Z General] gee one:
Yes, there is a size limit. The file has to be exactly 768000 bytes (480 x 800 x 16 bits). If it's different, then something went wrong. You can start with any file size, but the end product has to be the right size.

That being said, the backup (mmcblkxxx file) will be larger because it's just dumping the whole block.

Just to clarify, did you remove the stock splash first.

Place your new_splash.img in your sdk>tools folder

Then type these commands

Or did you just fastboot flash the "new_splash" right over the stock one??
[G2 and Desire Z General] gee one:
You can flash right over the old one. You can back up the original, if you want, but it's optional.

Making Splash Screens! Done very simple.....

Are you looking for a unique Splash Screen and can't find one.....? Or need help? If so I am willing to help you.

This is what I need from you:

A picture 480x800, either one that you created or found. It can be in whatever format too.

This is what you need:

You need to have adb installed already on your computer, because in order to change your splash screen, you need to be in fastboot.

Once I send you the finished Splash Screen, put it in your sdk tools folder.

Commands that you need to enter to change your Splash Screen.

fastboot devices>fastboot flash splash1 nameofpic.565raw

Now that you have flashed your new Splash Screen, reboot your phone and enjoy!

Simple, harmeless, and very easy.

So I've tried to create my own splash image but i keep seeing the blue screen right before the boot animation kicks in. I have actually flashed most of the other images found in this thread and almost all of them still show the blue flash. The only ones that do not do this are the original splash image and the one in post #70. The only thing that sets these images apart is the file size.

how dangerous?

How dangerous is it to flash a bad .img file?

What if you flashed it with random data?

Would your screen just look scrambled for a little bit before the animation or would it get stuck?

What comes up first, the bootloader or the splash image?.... I'm wondering if I happen to flash a bad .img if I'd be able to fix it with fastboot.
[G2 and Desire Z General] reukiodo:
I imagine there's little to no danger flash some 'random' data to the splash, assuming you don't go over the bounds limit of 768k. Any 16bit value is still a proper pixel color in RGB565.

You can easily test which is first by turning the phone off and holding VOL_D while powering on the phone. Try it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] FunkyELF:
Well... what worried me was that my backup was 1024k for the original 480x800 HTC picture but when I created my own 480x800 .png file and used ffmpeg to turn it into RGB565 the resulting file was only 768k

So... thats what worried me. Whats up with that?
