How did you get the 4g icon thing?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] bsbokc:
So the very first time I flashed a new bootscreen everything worked perfect. Now anytime I try to change it the screen is dark and there are some multi colored lines at the top of the screen. When I flash it in fastboot it says ok and everything looks fine then I reboot and no custom splash. I have tried to do everything in this thread to no avail anyone have any ideas?

edit: I can flash back to the htcglacier.img at the beginning of this thread and it looks fine each time, but when I try to change it to any other that is when I get the problems.

edit2: It seems I can flash the larger file sizes no problem, but the one I am trying to flash is the one with the word google in color and since it is a very small file I think that may be part of the problem...

edit3: file size was the problem only took me like 300 reboots to figure that one out.

Fullmetal Alchemist Splash

After searching fruitlessly for a Fullmetal Splash, I grew impatient and decided I didn't want to place a request and wait for someone to make it for me maybe.

This is the result of my impatience, a google search, and a passing knowledge of photoshop(which I applied using the Paint.Net program lol)

If you don't like it then feel free to modify it. It's essentially my first ever photoshop project.

If you do like it, extract it from the zip file and it's ready to use in your preferred method of installation. Hope I made some FMA fans happy with this. Thank me if you like it, I could use a few more of those lol

It's probably in this thread somewhere but i've gone through like half of the fifty pages of posts to no avail. Can someone tell me the name of font for the "my" of the mytouch logo so I can make a splash screen
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
I wasn't able to find what the font for the "my" was. So I just used Photoshop to change the color of it. I would recommend doing the same. I spent hours trying to find out what it was or something that was similar enough to use. Good luck with your splash!

Can I use the Slashscreens from this Thread. The Droid Incredible 2 screen size is 480x800 too.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
Yes you can. You will have to extract the .img file from the zip. I'm not sure if you can flash that .img file directly. To be safe, there is a link in the OP to a thread that contains info on how to extract the png from the .img file, then reconvert the png to a known compatible .img using either info from the same thread or by using True Blue Drew's converter.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] bigfdaddy:
I've tried that n when I restart my phone I get a bunch of what looks like white noise on a TV....what is causeing that on from my pics...
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
Those are exactly my settings in Photoshop. Will you walk me through the steps you use to save, convert and flash your splash?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] bigfdaddy:
When I edit the photo as I want I hit save as and instead of it saving as .psd I save it as. Img

know when i go to save it asks me to save with compadibility mode for older versions of photo shop and i hit dont remind me...

Im using adobe photo shop cs5.1 extended

my method of installing is using True Blue Drew's terminal emulator method
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] LORD JUNIOR:
Thanks. They work as is, I just extracted the .img and used True Blue Drew's terminal emulator method.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
That's what is giving you issues. You need to save it as a png. Not as an img. Once you save it as a png, then you can use TBD's converter to make it an img. Then flash that img file.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
I'm glad that worked out for you without having to go through the trouble of extracting and reconverting! :)
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] bigfdaddy:
im not using a converter just his way of installing it onto my phone...is it a seperate program i need to convert it?i just change the extension to .img
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
I'm sorry. I didn't read it right. You can't just change the extension. There is a separate batch file that can be used to convert it. The link to his thread is at the top of the OP. Just read the first couple of paragraphs. The link is there somewhere. :)
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] bigfdaddy:
Yea read it and it says to use ffmpeg or something like that...well I've tried using in Cmd.exe but to no Aval....
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:

Check out TrueBlue_Drew's thread here ^ to download the batch file I was talking about. It should be relatively straight forward. If you'd like to use ffmpeg in the command line (my preferred method) I would gladly walk you through it. Just let me know. :)

Is the anyway you or anyone can make a bmx splash screen, with	TNT, my nickname. If you need a picture,I can send one,just pm me.

[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
Sorry. I've decided I'm not going to do any more custom splash screens. Whenever I do, I get way too many requests. I just don't have the time anymore to keep up with them. :( There was another thread specifically for splash screen requests, but I'm not sure if that person is still making them either. I recommend trying to make your own. It really isn't very difficult, I have little to no Photoshop knowledge and I've made a bunch of them. If you don't have Photoshop, you can use either Gimp/Paint.net. Both are free and really good substitutes. If you have any questions on how to make your own, feel free to ask. I'll help as much as I can.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] bigfdaddy:
Ty ty ty time saver...I spent like 2hrs trying to figure it out.

its fine, can't hurt to ask though. Is there a way to create the splash picture I want on my phone, then have it converted also? I have no access to a computer for the moment...(dam ex-gf broke both of mine)

From my fist to your face, enjoy.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
I can't think of a way that you would be able to make a splash on your phone. If you have an image editing app, you could make one. Then you could just send me a pm and i'll convert it and post it up for you. There isn't any way that I know of to convert the splash on the phone. The splash just has to be a 480x800 png.

From my fist to your face, enjoy.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] kambiz.aghaiepour:
For folks that want to do the conversion themselves, I have these notes that I've gathered from this post and others on the process. Its actually really simple as already stated. It helps to be comfortable with the UNIX shell, and know how to use "dd" and "ffmpeg".

Backup: (Optional)

To get the current image from the phone, execute this from a root shell:

Code:

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

On your computer, you can turn this into a PNG using ffmpeg from the command line:

Code:

ffmpeg -f rawvideo -pix_fmt rgb565 -s 480x800 -i splash.img -f image2 splash.png

Flash:

You can set the splash by converting an image you want to a 480x800 resolution PNG file, then use ffmpeg to convert it to raw565 format using the command line:

Code:

ffmpeg -i new_splash.png -f rawvideo -pix_fmt rgb565 new_splash.img

Then with an unlocked (S-OFF) bootloader, flash the new_splash.img file to your phone:

Code:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash splash1 new_splash.img

fastboot reboot
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
Is ffmpeg included in the terminal emulator? I had to download it for it to work in cmd/powershell.

From my fist to your face, enjoy.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] kambiz.aghaiepour:
The image you have is 480x400. I'm not sure how it will look on your phone. Please make sure you backup the current image using:

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

Before adding the new image file.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] The Archangel:
I tried uploading the full image an it wouldn't let me, I'll try again though.

Ok it let me upload the full one, if you decide to redo it, its on your call. Thanks either way.

[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
I'm going to say that you really shouldn't try this until someone with a xoom has verified the process. It's a Motorola product, not HTC. So the probability that the process is the same is slim.

Is it possible to flash this with a PD15IMG.zip through Hboot like on the Inspire 4g?

I used the search and yielded no answers. If I missed where this was already answered I do apologize.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
It definitely should be flashable with a PD15IMG. I would find an empty one or one that just has a splash in it then replace/drop it in. Then flash. If you're just wanting to do the PD15IMG method because of the lack of an engineering bootloader you can use the Terminal Emulator method.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] bestsince23:
Thanks for the reassurance. I didn't wanna try it and end up with a shiny brick. I prefer this way because I'm no good with adb, tried terminal emulator to no avail and thought I got away from a catastrophic error when it didn't transfer, so I decided to try old reliable. Just wasn't sure if it would work or not. Just did it with success.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] linsalata28:
so I can just flash this through te with the command from post 1 right and I don't need to rename it or extract the zip?

I'm pretty sure I know what to do but just want to be a 100%.

Sorry for the noob question but I don't know much about the my touch 4g.

Thanks for any reply.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
Yeah, all you have to do is use su to get the #, then type the command and make sure the name of the file you are flashing is custom.img just to make it less to type on the phone. You cannot flash just any old img file though, or rename something to custom.img and just flash. It must be a png converted to an img through ffmpeg. All the files in the OP are converted this way and are ready to flash. If you have any more questions just ask. :)
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] linsalata28:
Yes its one from this thread and its named custom.img.zip should I remove the ( .zip )

Also its suppose to be one the root of the sdcard right?

Edit: Its the one from post 235.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
Yeah, just strip the .zip from it and put it on the root for ease. It can be in any folder on the sd you would just have to add the folder into the path name. I would place it on the root so you don't have to deal with typing it all in and making sure it's right. Other than that you're good to go.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] linsalata28:
One more thing.

Is there a easy converter/ splash screen maker for ubuntu?

You know, I'm not sure. I've always used Windows to make/convert. Sorry. :/
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] linsalata28:
Just to be a 100% I'm not extracting this only naming it custom.img without the (.zip)?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
Yep you are.

Mobilicity Splash w/ chime included please

:cool::DHello,

Awhile ago i rooted and S'off'd my HTC Panache i had purchased from Mobilicity and have since then been looking for the splash logo with the sound effect included. i had noticed the splash screen already in this thread but i don't know where to find the chime and/or how to install them if i even did. i have the bad emmc chip and am currently running virtuous unity.

Can someone help me out with this and also let me know if i were too apply this to my phone might i be putting my chip at a further risk?:confused:
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
I am not sure that it is possible to activate a chime effect with these splash screens. I honestly didn't even know that was possible with the MT4G/Panache. I know that there are bootanimations with sound. But didn't know about the splash screens.

As for putting your phone at risk, if you have the engineering bootloader the safest way to find out if you can flash a splash successfully would be to flash it through fastboot (instructs in OP). This way you can see the results right on your console window. If you are able to flash it you will see something like:

C:\sdk\tools>fastboot flash splash1 splash.img
sending 'splash1' (1024 KB)... OKAY
writing 'splash1'... OKAY

If you see this you'll know your okay to reboot. Otherwise in fastboot mode it will not flash if there is an error. It should show a failed send/write and it shouldn't affect anything. I've had a failed flash before (I converted the splash wrong) and nothing adverse happened. It failed and I rebooted to no changes at all. So I would assume it would be the same for the Panache. Sorry I couldn't be of more help!
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] SprigganMaster:

Those are some really nice Splash screens in the OP and few posts following. I may have to try some of them!
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] :
Empty .zip folder?

When I attempt to extract the .zip to my desktop it says "the compressed folder is empty. Before you can extract files, you must copy files to this compressed folder."

Grabbed the link from post #235

Any help? This splash screen looks amazing and I can't wait to try it.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
If it's filename is htcspecial.img.zip just take the .zip off the filename then flash. No need to extract. :)
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] :
Here's what I did. I went to this thread. Went to post #235 to grab the blue htc glacier rooted splash screen. It's labeled "custom.img". After it downloaded, I placed it (the zipped folder) on my desktop. I attempted to extract to desktop so I can get the actual .img file but it gave me that error.

I also just tried saving the JPEG and using splashflasher, but that didn't work either.

Am I supposed to just flash the full custom.img zip file like I would a ROM in CWM?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
Take the custom.img.zip and put it in the tools folder of your android sdk (where adb and fastboot are installed). Then remove the .zip from the filename (just rename it). Then use the fastboot method to install to your phone.

Or on your desktop rename the file the same way then move the custom.img to the root of your SD them use the terminal emulator method to install to your phone.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] :
I feel most comfortable doing it the Terminal Emulator way... So I will try that... I will check back in with my results

UPDATE>>> I just tried terminal emulator way. I went back to post #235, downloaded custom.img compressed folder (there was no zip after -windows 7- so no renaming was necessary). I put the compressed folder onto the root of my sd card. Opened up terminal emulator and typed in the following:

"dd if=mnt/sdcard/custom.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19" and hit "enter."

It gave me error msg:

"/mnt/sdcard/custom.img: cannot open for read: No such file or directory"
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
Windows 7 doesn't show the file extension by default. To view the file extensions open a folder and go to "Tools>Folder Options>Click the "View" Tab>then uncheck the "Hide extensions for known file types"" This will allow you to take the .zip off the end of that filename and then the terminal emulator method will work.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
Unfortunately there isn't a way for this to be installed via recovery. It has to be flashed through fastboot. It is really easy to get fastboot and adb working. I recommend going to the G1 forum and looking at nephron's guide there since it includes fastboot installation along with adb.

The Rom you use doesn't matter, all that matters is that you have the ability to use adb, fastboot, and have an engineering Hboot (0.85.2007). This post, from earlier in the thread, is the only way I know to test if fastboot actually works for your phone. Also if you could post the exact process you used to attempt to flash I can help you out better.
