Hello,
I got a question about the point 21 of "Hermes_Upgrade FAQ"; "Can I change the boot splash screen?". It says:
The boot splash images (shown when the phone boots up) can't be customized on the Hermes, they are flashed in the ROM with the NBH file and need to be signed with the proper HTC key.
However you can change the Windows splash screen that appears before your Today desktop by following these steps:
1. Create a 240x320 image (or bigger if you want it landscape too, it will be cut off).
2. Save the image in PNG format and name it "welcomehead.96.png".
3. Copy welcomehead.96.png to your storage card.
4. Use Total Commander to clear the +readonly +hidden +system attributes for "\windows\welcomehead.96.png".
5. Use Total Commander to copy/move this file to your \windows directory.
6. When done copying/moving, reset the readonly, hidden and system attributes for the file.

My question is; if I overwrite the file "\windows\welcomehead.96.png" and later I perform a Hard Reset; will the original windows splash screen appears or the modified file survives? I guess that it will be replaced by the original file again but I got the doubt...
Thanks in advance.

welcomehead.96.png is a rom file. i haven't tried it with hermes yet but the file was replaced with the original when i did it with my universal. i guess it'll be the same with hermes.

You answered yourself. Removing all custom files is one point a hard reset is all about...
.wysiwyg { background-attachment: scroll; background-repeat: repeat; background-position: 0% 0%; background-color: #ffffcc; background-image: none; color: #000000; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Arial; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal } p { margin: 0px; }
htc site
maybe a stupid question but how do someone can get rom's from the htc site if i can't even see a registration option in there?
cheers
i have an HTC Herald and have been scrounging around looking for how to replace the the welcomehead.96.png file with my own.
it's in ROM.
i've tried following all of the various setps i've seen listed for other HTC devices but none are working.
all i'm doing essentially tho is creating my file (320x320px png file). using total commander to move it over to my mobile device.and copying it into \windows.
i've tried checking and unchecking system/hidden file checkboxes in all possible combinations and it doesn't really make a difference. everytime the file transfer fails.

Until it's built into the kitchen the best way is with dutty's package tool (patched for titan over at ppcgeeks forum).
Hi, I have this animation (gif) file that I want to have booting up when I turn on my atrix. Basically, three questions.
1. I have the animation in gif but also in a series of PNG's, which one works?
2. How do you add sound to an animation?
3. Does this phone use an xml or txt for instructions (probably linked to question 2 answer).
Thanks guys in advance
A boot animation consists of a zip file that contains a series of png or jpg images, along with a desc.txt file. Here's a snippet from the factory desc.txt for AT&T's Atrix:
# 540 wide, 960 high, 15 frames per second
540 960 15
# p means we're defining a part
# first number is repeat count, 0 means infinite
# second number is delay in frames before performing the next part
# so if you are playing 15 frames a second 15 would be... one second
# string defines the directory to load files from
# files will be loaded in order but names don't matter
# s defines a sound for a part
# sounds will be loaded from /system/media
# oggs with loop points will loop automatically
# only one sound will play at a time
# timing is driven by the part, not the sounds
# if you want no sound, leave blank
(I'm not sure if the sound has to be an OGG; an MP3 or a WAV might work. If not, google around for OGG converters.)
So, say you had a folder of pngs called MainAnimation, and a startup sound called StartupSound.ogg, your desc.txt would look like this:
540 960 15
p 1 0 MainAnimation
s StartupSound.ogg
Or, if you want the animation to loop (instead of just sitting on the last frame), your desc.txt would look like this:
540 960 15
p 0 0 MainAnimation
s StartupSound.ogg
After you make your desc.txt file, zip that up with your MainAnimation folder. The structure should look like this:
bootanimation.zip
|
|- MainAnimation
| |- 001.png
| |- 002.png
| |- 003.png
| |- 004.png
|
|- desc.txt
When you create your zip, use "storage" or "no compression" mode. The zip needs to act simply as a container, instead of trying to save on file size.
Now, all that's left to do is copy bootanimation.zip and StartupSound.ogg to your phone. I use Root Explorer, but any method that'll get the files on there is just fine. Both files go in the /system/media/ folder.
That was great, I will let you know if that works. BUT...two more questions, if I get it wrong, ie no boot animation, will my phone still boot up, other is, will my phone boot whenever it wants or say the png's are set to last 30 seconds playing at 15 frames a second, it will wait for the sequence to stop?
Thanks
The phone will boot just fine if bootanimation.zip is missing or messed up, it'll just keep showing the Dual-Core Technology splash screen until the phone boots. (btw, that Dual-Core splash screen always shows at the beginning; your custom animation will start after it)
Boot time isn't affected by the boot animation, from what I can tell. If you have a short animation, it'll either loop or pause on the last frame (depending on the option set in desc.txt) until the phone finishes booting. If you have an animation longer than the phone's boot sequence, the phone will interrupt the animation and load the home screen.
anyway way to remove splash screen just so we get more animation time?
Thanks
Not that I know of. There might be something you can do with a custom rom (completely guessing), but that's a bit beyond me.
Best of luck!
Sound DOES NOT have to be .ogg it can be any format that the phone is able to play.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Tried every possible variation of this and I cannot get it to play sound
:sigh:
Animation plays, but no sound.
Also should be noted that for windows users, you CANNOT use notepad/wordpad to edit desc.txt. You should get Notepad++ and use that instead or it will screw up the linux formatting of the file.
Do u put soundfile.ogg in zip or in system/media? Thanks for the bootani 101 ^_^ looks to b in system/media but double checking JIC
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Got the files over to my phone, and the animation and sound plays, but the sound plays after the animation is finished. Anyway to get sound to play while animation is happening?
A good app to unzip, edit the desc.txt and anything else, and rezip is found on the market and is called "Boot Animatiom Installer".
On a side note, I am having a problem with the audio files during the boot.animation. They only play at ~30% volume level with any audio file. How do I configure/change this so that I can get the audio file to play at max volume level??

Hah! That explains alot, thank you. What about editing it within something like Root Explorer?
Hi, I'm trying to add a Chinese font to my recovery, but now I don't know how to do that. I found the minui/mkfont.c file which can generate the font header file. It reads data from a gimp_image structure that is generated by the GIMP software. I've tried to use the Bitmap Font Generator under Windows system to create a bmp file of my font, but after converting this bmp to a C header file via mkfont.c, it shows garbled characters on the phone. So anyone who knows how to convert my ttf font to a bmp image correctly? And which section in the font should I select?
I'll be very greatful if anyone can help.

I made this animation. Everything seems to be okay, but when I boot my phone with it, I just get the default Android boot animation like I normally do when I don't have a boot animation. I didn't compress it or anything. Could you guys help me? The bootanimation.zip is attached below.
The problem is with your desc.txt and PNG files.
Code:
540 960 24
p 1 0 part0
[B][COLOR="Red"]c[/COLOR][/B] 0 0 part1
1. AFAIK, there is no option like the 'c' you have (highlighted above), it should be 'p'.
2. The PNG images must be 24bit non-interlaced images (yours are 32bit images)
3. Also, try giving a blank line after the first line
For more info, take a look at this thread

Screen
In my opinion, it could also correspond to your screen size. If the Size is smaller than the one of the Animation, it could result in a black boot screen.

Well, I tried both with and without the c. At first I wrote my own desc.txt, then I copied the one from the HTC One Google Edition's boot animation to see if it would work any better (and modified it, obviously), and it had a c in the last line. I'll try it again, though.

It does, my device is qHD.
I'm getting the default Android boot animation when I start, so the system doesn't seem to pick it up. Normally that animation only plays when I don't have a boot animation installed. I'm pretty sure it's installed right, in /system/media with rw- r-- r-- permissions, just like how it should be.
