[TOOL] EZ Splash Screen Flasher and Image Converter>>Converts jpg, png and bmp files

This is a simple tool/script used to convert .jpg .png and .bmp files into the format used for the splash screen on your device. This can also be used to make a copy of your current splash screen or convert a splash screen image into a .png for you to edit. You can also flash the new image using this.

(Currently this has been confirmed working on the HTC devices below)

This is my first attempt at a script. With that being said...Please leave your feedback and ideas for possible updates or any issues. I also understand that there might be other tools like this on the forum but the one I found here didn't work on Windows XP. Plus I was wanting to learn a little about scripts :) and give people another EZ way to mod their device. There are some things I would like to add and a few little bugs. If some people like this I will make a updated version with more things and options. All the methods and things used in this zip can be found here on XDA. I just packaged them up and did the script.

I found most of the information for the script HERE ;) and of coarse have learned tons in my time here on XDA, so much thanks to everyone here!!

Thanks to Iriscience and the links in his thread for the conversion tools.

And also option94 for his help.

The flash/backup splash option should work for any HTC devices that use a 480x800 splash screen but has been confirmed working with the MT4G, G2, EVO.

REQUIREMENTS

1. PC with Windows XP or better

2. Rooted HTC device with S=OFF and Eng Hboot (if only S=Off you can use Terminal Emulator method below for flash)

3. 480 X 800 png, jpg or bmp image

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Download the attached zip by clicking the rotating skull and then unzip

it to the desktop of your Windows PC.

2. Create or find the 480x800 image you want for your splash screen.

3. Go into the "Splash Flasher" folder you unzipped and place your image

in the "place-image-here" folder.

4. Click on the "CLICK-HERE.bat" and follow the on screen instructions.

NOTE: At this time this does not support having more than one of the

same image type in the "place-image-here" folder when converting and flashing.

Ie: You cant have more than 1 jpg, bmp, png or img in the folder at the same time.

You can have multiple images as long as they are not the same image type.

I don't accept donations but if you like my work

please hit the "THANKS" button

Reserved for images

I would like to send out a big thanks to all the people here on XDA that have contributed to this collection. There are way to many to try and name. If you see your splash screen here, Thank you!!.

I was browsing the forums and came across a few splash screens that I liked and that were requested, so thought I would add them here for the Glacier family to enjoy.

As I collect more I will put links to the threads I have gotten them from so you can give thanks if you like.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Click on the image you like (it should open in a new window)

2. Right click on the image in the new window and choose "Save Picture As"

3. You can save it wherever you want (I suggest Desktop\Splash Flasher\place-image-here folder)

4. Convert your image to splash .img format and flash it using my script or the Terminal Emulator method I posted below.

IF you cant use the Splash Flasher/Converter, let me know and I can change any image to the correct splash .img format and post it up for you..

Just remove the .zip from the name on the attatchments below and they are ready to flash.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] RavenWulf:
Very nice... reminds me a little of the Splash Creator for the G1 that I use to make Splash Images for my wife's MT3G-Slide, but the nice added feature of flashing it as well.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] ziggy34:
Thanks for this, I wondered how to convert jpg/png to IMG files. Now to try and figure out photoshop.

I did a quick test of a file and it worked GREAT.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] TrueBlue_Drew:
If you have any troubles, or need help getting your images put together, let me know.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] darinmc:
Awesome!

Just to help with clarity, the description says 480x800 (correct I think?), the requirements say 640x800, and the steps say 640x480. Unless I'm missing something.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] TrueBlue_Drew:
It is 480x800

If you try the wrong size the image won't come out right when you flash it. Other than that it wont mess up your phone or anything. I will make the changes. Thanks

[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] 99danman:
Thanks so much!
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] TrueBlue_Drew:
No problem. I had to resize it and it made your guy look a little taller and skinnier but hopefully it looks ok for ya. :cool:
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] NvS:
Will this work on GIFs .. I have an Special File that I have been trying to get created into a splash or Live wallpaper...
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] TrueBlue_Drew:
This wont support gif's. If you would like to PM me your gif I will be happy to convert it so you can flash it. It will be a still shot though.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] 99danman:
I love my new splash screen. And it made things extremely smooth.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] TrueBlue_Drew:
I updated the OP with some new images that can be used as lockscreen wallpapers or converted and used as splash screens. Please feel free to make requests
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Freek91:
quick question...was the script supposed to reboot the phone out of fastboot?

i flashed a few different screens and it never rebooted the phone out of fastboot

edit: forgot to say thanks a ton for this...been wanting to change that screen just most of the instructions were a little too overly complicated
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] TrueBlue_Drew:
It should reboot after you flash a new splash screen. I will check it out and see if I left something out.

Thanks.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Freek91:
yeah its not a big deal but after doing 4 different screens now...after it says it flashed and the script says hit any key to continue and to make sure to say thanks

you hit any key and the phone just sits on the fastboot and you just have to goto reboot on the phone and all is good

but like i said...its not a big deal just wanted to point it out

and again thanks a bunch for this
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] TrueBlue_Drew:
Ok...should be fixed now. Can you check it out and let me know.

Thanks
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Freek91:
batch file needs a name change...it downloads as CLICK-HERE.bat.txt :D

And yeah its reboots itself in fastboot now :)

hopefully i didnt come across as a pain in the ass...just wanted to point out a couple things being i knew you wanted it to be automated

EDIT: i also noted the adb.exe process doesnt end in task manager when exiting the batch file after your done flashing...this doesnt need to be fixed...but i had noticed it earlier...just wanted to mention it...it may just be an issue on my end
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] option94:
Was wondering when you were finally going to post this. Worked great in my testing.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] TrueBlue_Drew:
Ughh..sorry dude. I appreciate the help. Hopefully fixed now. You have to use the quit option to kill the adb server for now but I will change it and add it to all the functions that use adb/fastboot in a few.

Thanks again for all the help. Please let me know of anything else you find or ideas you have.

Thanks

this detects my Inc S and goe to send Splash1 but just sits there and does nothing. Drivers maybe? im sure i installed the Modded fast boot drivers before already

thanks in advance
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] wallah:
Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

This tool its Awesome !!!!!
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] zmfl:
Great tool!

It kinda works on the Sensation (converts pictures into *.img just fine), but it can't decode *.img files back into *.png... The picture ends up being messed up :\

That's probably due to the 960x540 resolution...

Could you make it work on that resolution as well? :D
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] etawful:
Thanks! This is a great tool, worked perfectly for me.

I wanna make this my splash but im having some trouble the furthest iv got it is to a .NB format. any tips or takers? ...THANKS in advance:D
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Wil Badger:
Helpfull little app. Though I do have one request. Could you please make it so it doesn't delete the original image that is placed in the folder for conversion. Possibly make it so the app places a copy of the image in another folder or just leave it alone with the img being produced along side. Twice now I have made a png placed it in the folder to have it gone afterward. You would think after the first time I would have learned. I see you have the option of switch it back but for those who are using other resolutions it's not converting it back properly.

My flash...well slightly different because of having to remake it for the third time.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Masrawy:
Hi, I have a Sensation 4G so screen resolution is 540 X 960... Is it possible to make this awesome script work anywayrs?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] McLabia:
Try using cntl c and cntl v. Never have that issue again.

[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] ptclik85:
Could you please make me splash screen using the same image?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Wil Badger:
Ya thanks I know how to cut and paste. When you're in a rush and saving the file directly to the folder in question then running the app there is no chance to copy it from another location. It was also the first time using the app and I didn't realize it truly converted the file to an img file and not just copied it over to the new file.

As for using my image to make a splash screen. What were you looking for? I can post up a blank background with no text. That way you can take the picture and add your own background image to it.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] ptclik85:
I actually like the background you have for it
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Wil Badger:
Well if your using a MyTouch then I can just post up the img I flashed.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] AlanB412:
Not sure if you still needed this but here you go dude. Converted it for you. Zipped it for a faster download, when you unzip it should be around 750kb or something like that.

Click thanks if I helped you :)
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Truballa4real7:
works great man thanks for this amazing tool.

EDIT: just made and flashed this..
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] ptclik85:
No go, the img isn't any good. I tried twice to double check and both resulted in the same way:(
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Wil Badger:
I know using the program didn't get the job done for me either. I would try putting it on the phone's memory card and pushing via terminal console. That's what I did and it worked fine.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] ptclik85:
I did use terminal emulator and it didn't work for me.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Wil Badger:
I guess I can just throw up the raw image and you can use this app to try it.

This should be 733x1300 so just resize it , throw it in the folder, and give the app a try.

Thank you SOOOOO Much

It also works like a charm on a desire

I spent more than 10 hrs trying to get rid of this stupid joker image of (the otherwise useful) s-off and this f*** android flasher only produced different error messages.

Two minutes with your tool and everything was fine!:)

GREAT TOOL
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] tcutchi:
Amazing

This worked great for my Thunderbolt, thanks!

It's nice to have a single program that'll convert and flash an image in under 2 minutes.

I've flashed 3 different splash screens already with no problems whatsoever
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Nirrik:
Works great on HTC Sensation 4G, just have to make sure that the picture is 960x540 Beautiful.... Thanx for a easy and useful tool bro.

Tweaked the skeleton image from the OP to a darker black background and changed hue to blue to match my VU doubleshot theme.

Props to the original artist. I hope you dont mind i tweaked and re-upped the image. thought others might like it.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] System92:
Thank you very much! It worked like a charm!
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] CalicoJeb:
I have tried this but here is what I see

"writing splash1 ...FAILED <remote: not allowed>"

Any idea what the issue may be?

Thanks in advance

UPDATE: Did a search and think I found the answer/reason :-) ..... but there seems to be a few options/alternatives to rectify this, anyone on this thread have a sure simple fix that will work?

Also seems I did zap the default splash screen in the attempt, all else is fine, boot animation and phone, splash screen is now basically top half white, bottom grey
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Ditamae:
Brilliant script. Thank you TrueBlue! This worked perfectly on my G2. Now I can edit, convert, and flash in 5 minutes. Awesome.

[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] TrueBlue_Drew:
Thats ok man, I am glad this worked well for you. Thank you for giving it a try!! If you are on a PC and you cant see the thanks button it could be that you are using the classic theme. You can check that at the bottom left corner of the page you are viewing ;).

I must be doing something wrong because my pictures all came out wrong. Even the ones you had in the op when I converted them they just dont seem to come out right
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] TrueBlue_Drew:
Give me just a little bit more description in what isnt working? are you sure they are the right size? that will mess it up every time.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] jaleroca:
Drew maybe I'm not sizing them correctly. Whenever I try to resize them, it doesn't exactly come out 400x800. Maybe paint and other Microsoft programs don't like that lol.

Better yet, I should ask how did you resize the pictures
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] lanternslight456:
I've successfully used ms paint. It's been a while though. There is an option to set the pic size, set it then and it will stay. I'll look it up tonight and post back.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] timshady1001:

would you like to make splash screen flasher for another resolution??it can be help another newbie like me:D

without A688 Tools,it's simply to use
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] TrueBlue_Drew:
So did this work for your device? I'm not following your question because you say it works but yet you want me to make one for another resolution? What resolution are you looking for? Try to be a little clearer on what you are looking for. Also who is the manufacturer of your device?

Also, just so you know it isn't very good forum practice quoting someones OP. It takes up alot of space and clutters the thread.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] bboy_201:

any ideas?
