This is fantastic! I intend to try it out. I did notice one thing though with my fastboot binary. I recently had the AndroidSDK self update, and the fastboot binary is no longer there. I restored from my backups, and have the original SDK back. When I run fastboot, I see the following output:

destiny:~ kambiz$ /opt/android-old/tools/fastboot devices

ERROR: could not get pipe properties

ERROR: could not get pipe properties

ERROR: could not get pipe properties

SH0AXRM00289	fastboot

Are the ERROR lines above normal?

Also, what are the various partitions fastboot can work with? boot, recovery, system, splash1 ... anything else? Is there a splash2 ?

EDIT: one more question, how do you generate the .img file for splash1 ? (BTW I went with the simple yet oh-so-much nicer than stock: mytouchsplash.img )
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] aznpr1de808:
i definitely like the second one with the nexus X i will flash this when i go on lunch break and will report any bugs when i do. thanks for your work and dedication.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] hardcore88:
Any way you could post instructions on how to do this through terminal ? Thank you for the mod..
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
I haven't seen that error message before. I'm not very familiar with the finer points of Linux. I did this on my Windows 7 computer. I had a hell of a time getting the Android SDK working on my Linux partitioon. I used this thread to set up adb and fastboot on Ubuntu. I think I got it working more through luck than anything. Hope this thread can help you out.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=537508

Also I'm pretty sure there isn't a splash2 partition. I'm still pretty new at this myself. I did lots of work with Photoshop in high school, so I just decided to put those failing skills to work and put these out. Sorry that I can't help more! :(

The link to the guide on how to generate the image is located in the OP. The word "here" is linked to it. But here it is again. :)

I'm pretty sure this mod cannot be done through the terminal. I've never seen any instructions anywhere on how to install a splash screen anywhere but in fastboot. If you do find that it is possible I will gladly post the instructions in the OP.

I'm really glad you guys like these! :D
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] pack:
you have to do it with fastboot, theres no way to change splash screens through the terminal
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] hardcore88:
Thank you... I really want to change to the cool rooted mytouch one. I can't get it to work through fastboot though. I'm getting one of two error messages. Either it says it can't open flash 1 or its saying it can't find the read the image properties. I don't usually have problems with adb or fastboot so that's why i was hoping there was a way to do it using terminal.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
Did you extract the .img file to your tools folder?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] hardcore88:
Yessir..
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
Did you type

fastboot flash splash1 rootedmytouchsplash.img
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] hardcore88:
yep... thats when I got the unable to open flash 1 error message.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
Here's another copy of the file. Try this one.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] hardcore88:
Got it:) awesome... thank you very much.... :)
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
Awesome! I'm glad that worked for you! I'll replace it in the OP.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] srivers33:
Hey. All goes well till I hit enter to initiate the flashing of the new image. It says "can't open rootedmt4g. Img"
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
None of the files are named rootedmyt4g.img. If the one that says rooted is the one you are trying to use, unzip it to your tools folder in AndroidSDK and type:

fastboot flash splash1 rootedmytouchsplash.img
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] srivers33:
my apologies mate, just put it that way to shorten things up a bit. the actual prompt reads "error: cannot load 'rootedmytouchsplash.img'
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
did you also try from the post above? another person had the same error and when I did the re-upload on an above post that one worked for him. I'll go ahead and update the op again. Give me a few to upload again. In the meantime, try the one from post 13. :)

EDIT: I just updated the op with a fresh zip of rootedmytouchsplash. Lets hope this one's good for you! :D

EDIT: Here is also a link directly to the .img file. http://www.4shared.com/file/qrxyIBiY/rootedmytouchsplash.html

@sroop217: Would you like it to look like any of the ones in the OP or did you have something else specific in mind?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] blancoisgod:
ok, fastboot isnt working for me.

I am in fastboot, i have installed the fastboot binary by putting it in the AndroidSDK/tools, i am on ubuntu,and i get fastboot:command not found.

i am even in the freaking directory in my terminal.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
What is your HBOOT version? If it is anything but 0.85.2007, you will need to visit Grankin01's Ultimate Permroot thread to flash the engineering HBOOT. I'm really hoping that is the issue, because it sounds like you've done everything else correctly. You could always try from a Windows machine. I'll check it out on my Ubuntu partition later today when I have a break from class.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] blancoisgod:
yeah the hboot is correct. s=off,0.85.2007

so gay. Well, lemme try it from my windows machine.

EDIT: under my windows machine, it is stuck at <waiting for device>

EDIT 2: ok, after giving a huge f-you to my windows machine, i booted up linux again and found out what my problem was.

Firstly i didnt have the usb plugged in fully(fail). Next, i forgot to chmod +x fastboot. i then found out that i had to type ./fastboot devices as opposed to fastboot devices.

I got it working though guys. This splash screen is sick!
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
Awesome! I'm glad you got that worked out! I just booted up my Ubuntu partition and deleted my fastboot binary and just downloaded it again. I was going to ask if you had made it executable. :) But, you shouldn't have to type the (./) before fastboot. I don't anyway. I'm on 10.10, so I'm not sure if that's what the difference is. But no matter what it's just kick ass that you got it working!

Cool bro, I got it at the first time and it looks awesome, thank you.

Why dont you grab you a photo program like photoshop or paint.net and make you one up. Then you can convert it and flash it using my Splash Flasher/Converter. If you dont feel like that, than feel free to hit me up in that thread and I can make you somethin up. ;)

Ok, guys check out my thread HERE for some of the above images. They are sized correctly and ready to be used as lockscreen wallpapers or converted to splash screen images.

Also, please take the time to thank Iriscience for this thread. Without it I would have had minimal intrest in this. Thanks again man!!!
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] kennyp987:
if anyone converts them can you guys post the .img? i cant convert as i do not have a windows computer :(
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
Thanks so much for the shout out Drew! :D I really appreciate it! I was really surprised at the amount of people that wanted to change their splash screens. This thread has been far more successful than I ever dreamed it would be.

And KennyP, if you want to give the way I have been converting splash screens a try, it might work with Linux or Mac. The files you will need are in post 129. There is also a link to the original thread I used to convert them. Just read the post and unzip the files to your AndroidSDK/tools folder. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Thank you Iriscience!!

The program will work with Mac it is the same one I am using. I would have written a script for that too but I dont have a Mac. I will set one up on my virtual machine and make up a script for Mac's also but you will have to give me a day or 2. Until then I posted the converted images you wanted in my thread at the bottom of post #2. If there is any others, let me know.

@Sabo: Are you positive you have the fastboot binary in your AndroidSDK/tools folder?

[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] isme84:
Yea i extracted it to the tools folder where fastboot.exe at
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
I've never had one fail before.... You could try to re-convert the image into a flashable img on your machine. It may just be a corrupt download/upload. True_blue_Drew has his automated splash screen converter that should make it really easy. Hope that works!

Not sure (sorry), do not see them, I am downloading the SDK right now I have updated for a while. I will let you know, thanks for the quick response.

Can I flash them through terminal?

I read through the thread and didn't see the answer.

TIA :)
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
No, it is not possible to flash these through the terminal. Splash screens exist on a partition not accessible through the ROM. The only way to write to the splash1 partition is to flash through fastboot. It is very simple. If you need any help setting up your Android SDK just let us know. I, as well as many others, will do everything we can to help get this working for you.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] jwmacdon1231:
Thanks a mil for the quick response. I figured that was the case, but was hoping there was a way around it. Oh well. Looks like I'll have to wait until I get home.

Splash screens look amazing btw.

Not a problem! I'm glad you like them so much! :D
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Phateless:
Are you certain? We can flash recovery through terminal, why couldn't we flash splash1? In theory wouldn't it simply be...?

su
flash_image splash1 sdcard/splash.img

I've never tried this but I don't see why it wouldn't work...
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
If you'd like to try flashing one of them through terminal, you are MUCH braver than I! :) I do feel compelled to tell you that flashing to partitions always includes the risk of bricking! Also, Pack verified that flashing through the terminal wasn't possible. I'm pretty sure he knows what he's talking about, and I'm willing to take his word for it. When it comes to things that nandroid can't restore, I try to stick to the tried and true methods. If you do decide to give it a shot, let us know the results!

[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
Same here. If someone really wanted to put that much effort into it, I'm sure it could be done. But this is so freakin' simple! It ain't broke, and I ain't touchin' that ****! :D
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] TrueBlue_Drew:
lol...you guys are silly :p

You can flash through terminal but you aint going to do it with the commands you are trying. It will just give a fail because the Binary that the flash_image command is calling is for the recovery partition.

If you would like the command I will be happy to share it.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Phateless:
Yes please, just been wondering about this, lol.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] TrueBlue_Drew:
I agree and with the script I put together it is even easier. It is kinda funny to me, the amount of people that want to do things like this but dont want to use a pc.

Iriscience,

I can post the code for terminal but this is your thread and I am not sure if you want it posted. If you give me the ok, I will post it here. If you would rather I will post it in my thread.

Flash Splash via Terninal Emulator

Here is how to flash a new splash screen image to your phone using Terminal emulator. Please keep in mind that as with any mod you can damage your phone beyond repair if done incorrectly.

1. Rename your 480x800 image file to custom.img and move it to your sdcard.

2.Open Terminal Emulator and type "su" to get a #

3.Then type this exactly as it appears and hit enter. Make sure not to make any mistakes!!!

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

It should show you that the file has transfered. You can now back out of terminal emulator and reboot your phone to see the new splash screen.

Could someone please take the green HTC splash on page 1 and change it to like a glacier blue and also put

"Rooted"

Above the HTC.

Also could out do the above without changing the color. Please and thank you

You are talking about the HTCspecial one right? and how and what size do you want the "rooted and Glacier"

[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] TrueBlue_Drew:
You need to move the file out of the folder it downloaded it to (tapatalkxda_download) and put it on just the sdcard. Then make sure it is named custom.img

were do i get the tapatalkxda_download from
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] TrueBlue_Drew:
Ok, maybe I misunderstood you. If you downloaded the file straight to your phone through the XDA app, it will be in the folder I named above and you need to move it. If you downloaded it to your PC then you need yo place it on your sdcard.

[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] TrueBlue_Drew:
if you renamed it custom.img it will work. You can always go here and set up my Splash Flasher and flash it that way. When you DL it it it will be custom.img.zip you need to remove the .zip off the end.

downloaded the zip.

unzipped it.

moved the image to my sdcard.

renamed it custom.img

typed the commands in terminal and it said transferred

back out and reboot it.

never turned back on. and yea i already posted it on q&a.
