[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] AbsolutZeroGI:
*updated 2/2/2011*

First, props to silentstryder for putting up the process. I'm just giving it it's own thread for the newbies, users with the new hboots (2.02 and 2.10) and for people who just plain don't like command prompt. Also, HUGE thanks to Stoney 666 for giving me the software to convert images to .rgb565 and to CYBERxNUKE for creating it.

*Note*

all filenames in this process are case sensitive. Don't capitalize it if it's not capitalized and don't lower case it if it's not lowercase. Also, do not add extensions unless you're instructed to. Doing any of these can mess up the process.

**UPDATE 10/1/11**

Updated a working PC36IMG.zip (in the attachments in the bottom). The last one was corrupt and the Unrevoked website goes down sometimes.

**UPDATE 10/24/11**

Added up a pro tip for people who want to make their own Splash screens and not just make their own Splash PC36IMG.zip.

Okay, rewriting this process from scratch because, well it's easier that way.

PART 1 (if you downloaded a splash screen image from the Themes and Apps Section of the Evo forums in XDA, the proceed directly to PART 2).

1. Download the EVOSplash Zip from the attachments.

2. Open the howto.txt file inside for instructions on how to use it. With this program, you can convert a file into the required .rgb565 file.

3. Rename the converted .rgb565 file splash1.img

PART 2 (if you have your file all ready to go)

*note* if you have not done so, rename the splash picture to splash1.img

1. Go to this website: http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever

2. Download the original PC36IMG.zip file (it's close to the bottom)

3. Use a .zip editor (winzip, 7zip, etc) to open it.

*ehem* DO NOT EXTRACT, JUST OPEN

4. Replace the splash1.img in the zip with the one you have/just made. Save it.

5. Plug your phone in, connect to PC via disk drive.

6. Put the PC36IMG onto the root of your SD card (for newbies, that's the very first page of the SD card).

7. Reboot phone into bootloader (turn off, volume down + power)

8. The phone should recognize the zip and ask if you want to update. Select yes (I believe it's volume up for yes).

The zip will install and you're new splash screen should be there next time the phone reboots.

I hope this helps a lot and thanks to everyone who's read it and been patient. It took me a month to thread jumping before I found a process that worked with hboot 2.02 and 2.10 (I have 2.10). This is also the easiest way for people who are uncomfortable with adb and the command prompt.

Give me a thanks if it helped, I do this for free so I don't accept donations :D

**PRO TIP**

If you want it to fit the whole screen (or to make your own from scratch), use a photo or paint like program (Photoshop, etc). Make a new file that is 480 pixels wide and 800 pixels for height. Then re-size the picture you want to use in it (another tip: use a picture that is bigger than 480x800. If it's smaller, it'll get fuzzy and become lower quality) to fit the borders of the new file. Alternatively, you can make your own. Save as JPEG when you're done, then follow the instructions above.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] gear.h34d.2012:
Followed the process, it's not working for me. I don't get a prompt to update in hboot. PC36IMG.zip is on the root of my SD card. =/

EDIT: When I boot back into CM6 and look at the root of my SD card the .zip is gone...

EDIT2: Diagnosed and fixed, had to make the PC36IMG.zip rwx-rwx-rwx. Flashed just fine!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] meansixx:
what about users with hboot 0.93.0000?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Stoney 666:
you forgot to mention that the image used for the splash needs to be in .rgb565 format before renaming it to splash1.img, and has to be saved as a 24bit rgb bmp or png file before converting to .rgb565.... use this to convert the images to .rgb565 View attachment 481035 there is also a "how to" in the zip.

or to make your life easier, go here... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=812572 and i'll make one for you... :D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] AbsolutZeroGI:
Thanks, all the splash files i've downloaded so far have been in .rgb565 so far but this is definitely useful information, especially if people want to make their own.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] AbsolutZeroGI:
This is compatible with all hboots. It's just that people with the two newest ones can't use any other method (to my knowledge) except this one so I thought it was guide worthy. Most of the threads that have splash screens have alternate instructions.

problem installing splash screen

I am having the same problem as above, I have read alot on this fourm and still cannot get a different splash screen up. Im looking to install the stock flash for the evo. I'm getting an error no image found please help.

Thanks...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pgagolfer:
I found

a flashable zip of the stock splash screen, and it worked, but I would still like to know how to do this. I wanted to put on the red evo skelton giving the finger.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] AbsolutZeroGI:
When you add the image to the Evo, make sure it's in it's native resolution (my instructions only cover splash screens from this forum, which is 800x480).

For further info, read Stoney 666's post, that's how you do it if your image doesn't start in the right file type.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pgagolfer:
Thanks.

Got it to work, not sure how, i think i used a different PC36IMG file, or I took zip off the ending.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] AbsolutZeroGI:
Even if you take off the .zip it's still a zip so one way or the other it works :) I just uploaded the PC36IMG file I found on the Unrevoked website.

Glad you got it to work!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wizholt7:
Ok, I'm not doing something right. I downloaded the PC36IMG.zip, opened it, replaced the file with the splash screen I wanted, and re-zipped the file. Put it on the root of my sd card, and started it in bootloader. First, it didn't prompt me to update, although when it checked the sd card for updates, I did note that it said "parsing PC36IMG.zip", but then returned to the menu. I tried flashing it from recovery as well and it didn't work.

From all the stuff I've read this seems to be the method that makes the most sense and is easiest. I've tried flashing it via ABD and a whole bunch of other stuff to no avail; my computer must not like my phone.

What am I doing wrong, I followed your steps...

EDIT: I rooted phone with unrevoked...don't know if that is why. I know that has been a roadblock with some of the other methods of changing the splash screen.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] luist4498:
Any possible way to get this turned into a flashable zip file? Im not good with adb!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] AbsolutZeroGI:
For 1 you don't have to unzip and re-zip. Just replace the image that's already in the zip. I think a couple of people have had this problem before. I'd try again without re-zipping the package.

Also, if you didn't get the splash screen from this section of the forums (i.e. you're using your own or from a different phone in xda), go to post #4 (on the first page) and read stoney 666's post about converting the file to .rgb565 and then renaming it (not convert, rename) it to splash1.img (yes, with the file extension).

Basically, from where you are, here's what I'd do:

attempt to just replace the splash1.img file in the zip without unzipping and try again. Or, try downloading the original, untainted one here: http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever

and follow the steps over again.

if that doesn't work:

follow stoney 666's instructions and convert the image to .rgb565 format and then rename it to splash1.img.

That should do it.

I will also post that link in the OP and tell people to get the original instead of using mine as people have been having trouble with it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] AbsolutZeroGI:
I revised the instructions on the original post, it should work for you. It's not flashable in recovery, but it's flashable in bootloader which is just as good (don't need clockwork or ra recovery to do it).
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wizholt7:
I tried it again adding the file to the zip instead of unzipping, rezipping, and no dice. I'll download the PC36IMG file from unrevoke's website and see if that works.

EDIT: I just downloaded the one from unrevoked's website, and I noticed the image file it has in there by default is "splash1.img". The name of the file I am inserting is "evosplash1.rgb565". That is the correct file name, right?

Also, I just tried it with the file from unrevoked's website, still no luck. It just says "parsing PC36IMG" but doesn't do anything and returns to the bootloader options...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wizholt7:
Ok, so I finally got it figured out, thanks to moseso. Apparently, it was because the name of the file was wrong. As I understood it, the file was to be named evosplash1.rgb565 . But I had to rename it to splash1.img . I guess it was a misunderstanding on my part, idk. But I got it now. Here is the link to the thread if anyone wants or needs it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=11113102#post11113102

hello all, i recently installed clockwork3.0 to try out the cm7 rom and did so. afer that i wanted to go back to cm6 but decided to try out a custom baked modaco in between. I went no problems to the modaco vision rom and then tried to go back to the cm6 and thats where i ran into the problem. It seems as if though all i can flash and boot now is the modaco vision and desire roms. i try enomther and cm and after the flash and reboot im always stuck at the HTC boot screen which i know shouldnt be there and cant format boot in cwork3.0 without failure error. Even a nandroid back to cm6 wont work. Im assuming this has something to do with the modaco rom writing some apps to /system during install. If anyone can point out my error or explain why this could happen it would be greatly appreciated. Thanke, veritasaequita
[G2 and Desire Z General] wileykat:
You need to flash back to the old ClockworkMod Recovery using fastboot? You have done that haven't you? CWM Recovery 3 is only for 2.3 roms atm afaik.

Cool, thanks for the input bro. Yes I sure have. I did see in the dev forum a thread titled install cw3.0 easily from phone. Is it possible to go back to the old cw by way of using the phone also? Once again thanks for your help
[G2 and Desire Z General] wileykat:
oh yeah, indeed you have hit upon something. Try installing ROM manager via the Market,... then use that to re-install the old recovery.

But if that fails,... then yes, you SHOULD be able to use a Terminal Emulator to flash without using fastboot commands.

So I was wondering about updating swype because I read somewhere it got better. How can I update swype to the latest version?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orbiting234:
You can't...at least not on stock ROM. Using a custom ROM it should in theory just be as easy as deleting the existing version and installing the latest beta.

TBH though I haven't had any issues with the stock version of Swype that comes preinstalled.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paullueders223:
You need to apply for the Swype beta and once you you get accepted, you'll need to uncheck the swype in settings>language and keyboards and delete the Swype.apk from /system/app and libSwypeCore.so in /system/lib (Make sure you have an alternate keyboard or use the hardware keyboard.) Reboot, install the swype apk from beta.swype.com and then run that and use it to run the install wizard. Should be pretty easy.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blazinazn:
What paul Said. after you install the beta.swype.com apk then you can delete it and from then on, you can actually go into the swype settings and update it that way instead of having to use swypes 3rd party apk. If that makes any sense.

I'm currently on version 3.26.92.37604

They changed from blue to orange.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gooch1025:

Hi, i connect my DHD to my car stereo via the micro USB port at the DHD's bottom.

Here is where the problem is. Audio works fine, i am able to get it streamed to my car stereo over USB. But when i try to play video files , the phone reports that the SD card is locked (since the car steroe is accessing the sd card for audio files i believe).

Are there any work around this? I would like to watch video and have the sound from the video audible through my car stereo speakers, all through the micro usb port.

This question should be posted in the Q&A section imho...

Anyway, in general AOSP roms are friendlier for your battery than Sense roms. At the moment it seems the gingerbread roms are the most friendliest. But it depends largely on what apps you've got installed, how often you sync and all that stuff...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fixerDESIRE:
I'm using DeFroST 6.1(not 6.1a) and 6.1.1 SVS kernel.

SetCPU is 128-998Mhz smartass governor.

128-256Mhz while screen off with powersave gov.

Radio is 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27 and i installed the same version RIL.

Brigtness is auto.

3G, mobile data - on pernamently(!),

WiFi - i don't use it, it's off.

That's it for battery saving tweaks, i guess.

P.S. Don't forget to calibrate your battery, btw:

1. Charge while green led appears.

2. Disconnect your charger, and power off the phone.

3. Connect charger while powered off, wait till it goes green.

4. Disconnect your charger, power on, wait till it fully boots(1m), power off again.

5. Connect your charger, wait till green, disconnect.

6. Boot into recovery, wipe battery stats.

That's my method, so don't complain, if i'm wrong. Everything worked smoothly for me and battery boosted almost by 100%.

Forgot: I lose 3% per night (10 hours), and running it for a 36 hours with moderate use. (Music, Twitter, Gmail, Youtube(sometimes)).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xinot:
I must add that 128Mhz may be too low, and it could make your desire unstable.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fllash:
Yes, it might. However, the majority of desires seem to cope well with 128Mhz. Just be sure to not use anything lower than 256Mhz (when the screen is on, less is fine with the screen off in SetCPU) with an AXI kernel, or instability is very likely.
