Just upload the pic you want and I'll make it for ya! Just remember to keep in mind that our screen resolution is 540x960.
Rename the files to PG86IMG.zip and run it in Bootloader and your phone shall handle the rest.
I have now posted a VIDEO TUTORIAL for those that were haveing trouble understand the written tutorial. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suOrmAEhkOg
SELF EXPLANATION and TUTORIAL
I have attached the cmd tool to make your very splash screen. I got it after a long search and it was created by "Pof" a retired developer back in 2008. A moment in silence for the help he provided to these boards. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405118
Here is the Stock Splash Screen incase you want to revert back. STOCK SPLASH Shouts out to Rydah805 for hooking it up.
1. Download the nbimg.zip I HAVE ATTACHED IT!!!! That other link is a different version.
2. Extract the nbimg.zip to your desktop. It should create a folder called nbimg and should contain the "nbimg" file and the "android-info" txt file. You can create splash screens for other devices as long as you replace this android-info file with its proper one. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE CORRECT ANDROID-INFO.TXT FILE FOR YOUR DEVICE. THE ONE I HAVE INCLUDED IS FOR THE HTC EVO 3D
3. Create a blank 540x960 image in photoshop and design it however you like. I usually find a photo on deviantart.com and paste it onto the 540x960 blank image I created.
4. Save the file as "splash1.bmp" and it must be 24-bit.
5. Place the splash1.bmp file in your nbimg folder.
6. Open up your command prompt/terminal by holding down shift and right clicking the nbimg folder and selecting open command window here. It should automatically put you into that folders directory otherwise you will have to "cd /" to it's directory.
7. Type "nbimg -F splash1.bmp -w 540 -h 960" into the terminal and press enter. That should create a splash1.bmp.nb file in your nbimg folder.
8. Rename the splash1.bmp.nb file to splash1.img and save it.
9. Add the splash1.img file and android-info.txt file to a zip archive called PG86IMG.zip
10. You should know how to load it into bootloader from this point on.
With that being said, higher res pics will make better quality Splashes. Here is mines for example. Say Hello to Ulquiorra Schiffer, the 4th ESPADA.

Give me some details and I can whip up a splash for ya. As for bootanimations, all we have to do is rename the old 4g zip file to Sprint_bootanimation.zip and they will work. I'm running the custom red cm7 boot right now.

1st of all, thanks cryshop! Nice work, I'm glad you found the time!
2nd, the problem with the zip is, that the whole resources.apk might be different...for example I extracted those files and put them in my .apk...
3rd, does the ROM really need to be de-odexed? What if I put the different png's to my resources.apk ? - edit, You don't have to be deodexed, it works just fine on B 0.1 Rom, which is not.
EDIT2: When I touch the display(screen locked text appears) part of the image sems to lose it's transpatency settings - there is a vivid ende below the text - is this normal?
Thanks!

The black half-transparent rectangle at the bottom causes that. It seems to be something in the xml files which I'm not able to edit. I can retouch graphic files only, sorry for that
nice work! I just made a bit more space between the 2 arrows.
Cause it was overlayed by the text saying: "screen locked" (since in dutch its scherm geblokkeerd) and that's much longer
png is attached for dutch people or people that want more space between the arrows (hope you don't mind cryshop otherwise just tell me and I'll remove it asap)

Hi Cryshop,
Just a question here, but could you make a lockscreen that would correspond with your navbar? It would actually need editing of one png The shape is OK, but the style would look nicer
I tried 3ds max to make one, but I need some study in that

Hey here is something I threw together last night for everyone who wants the newest droid boot for a themed ROM, or just cause it looks cool It is in full QHD Glory!.
Credit to xploited, for the origional droid 3 boot that I used to make these
Installation has changed a bit, to install, download the color of the boot you want below, and extract all of the files inside. Put bootanimation.zip into System/Media. Put Droid.ogg into System/Media/Audio/Notifications for 2.3.x, and System/Media for 2.2. Just put the wallpaper on you sdcard and select from Gallery to use.
There are some CWM flashable versions of the boot animations there also,(Thanks CaelanT!) if you dont want to mess around in Root explorer.
If anyone wants a particular color just post!!
And by the way, I removed animated .gif of Steel and Green versions, page was beginning to load slow... The actual boot animation is the same as the Blue one, just a different color...
If you like it, appreciate it, or use it please press the "Thanks" button below!

Just found these same instructions in another boot animation thread, it's all working now.
Ran upstairs to look at this on my computer.
There is an audio file called out in desc.txt which is missing also.

Just rename to bootanimation as was said, and copy to system/media, not data/local.
I'll see about making a CWM version with audio tonight.

Having a hard time testing. no matter what I do my phone boots with the original android boot animation, not even the att one. have tried all kinds of stuff...
edit: lol i am a fool... thats my roms default boot if there is none, and I compiled the .zip wrong on my comp.
Love this, but is there any way to possibly get a white or steel colored version of this? I'd do it myself but have no clue what it entails

Bootanimation audio files in 2.3.x must go in System/Media/Audio/Notifications
Drop your audio file there and you will here the sound with the boot animation.

OH SNAP! ...you say??
This is a quick tutorial for anyone who may want to change [any] image into your new splash screen.
Prerequisites
- s-off
- drivers for the e3d (if on windows)
- nbimg for windows users or for linux users (probably best to put this in your SDK tools folder since that will already be in your path)
- an image you want as your splash screen in BMP format
(^^ it's probably best to have a BMP image that is 540x960 since that is our resolution)
The Process
1. In command prompt (windows) or terminal (linux) type the following:
Code:
nbimg -F nameofimg.bmp -w 540 -h 960
2. In the same directory as your BMP image you will now find a file called: "nameofimg.bmp.n0"
3. Rename "nameofimg.bmp.n0" to "splash.img"
.......Windows:
Code:
rename nameofimg.bmp.n0 splash.img
.......Linux:
Code:
mv nameofimg.bmp.n0 splash.img
4. Now we're done converting the image to a format the e3d can use so let's reboot to the bootloader:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
.......OR ...power down your phone, hold the volume up and hit the power button and make sure your usb cord is plugged in.
5. Time to flash the image, in the same command prompt or terminal window that you opened earlier type the following:
Code:
fastboot flash splash1 splash.img
6. w00t! you're done!! Use the volume rocker to go down to "reboot" and hit the power button to reboot and see your new splash screen.
blakejohnson86 said:
You might want to mention that 32-bit BMPs don't tend to work well with nbimg. I don't know if 16-bit BMPs do either, but I find it safe to stick with 24-bit.

Drifting back into the past I remember an old legend of a group called 'SNAP' in the OG EVO days....perhaps they're coming back? hmmmm.... At any rate, because of this, I'm using a SNAP splash screen created by my OG SNAP buddy shift_ which looks like this (and can be downloaded here):

anyone feel like creating a splash similar to the original Evo 4G 'white text on black' that was so popular that just said 'HTC Evo 4G', but perhaps just use the text from the 'HTC Evo 3D' straight text logo? I bet it'd be pretty simple..

If I'm not by a PC can I rename to PH98IMG.zip and install via bootloader? I do realize this currently is a .img
You can't through the bootloader with this img. However there are some instructions floating around on a method to do it through terminal emulator but if you find them you'll need to make sure they are for the rezound.
Once I get home from work ill package them up in a bootloader zip and ill see if I can't get the right partition info so they can be flashed from terminal.

original boot animation taken from NicePenguin here: http://www.android-hilfe.de/themes-fuer-motorola-defy/329209-hal9000-bootanimation.html
For anyone else that wants something a little different... I've had this on my phone for a while and thought I'd share it. HAL 9000 is the computer from the old sci-fi movie 2001: A Space Odyssey
this is someone else's work that i optimized for our screens.
i resized the original for our screens (to 768x1280) and darkened them in photoshop.
I also found a soundclip of hal 9000 saying "i'm completely operational and all my circuits are functioning perfectly"
you will need access to your /system partition. put bootanimation.zip in your /system/media/ folder and if you want the audio, put that PowerOn.ogg in your /system/media/audio/ui/ folder. These files may overwrite existing files.
Here's what it will look like.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

Awesome! I'll have to try it out. I was just thinking about Hal 9000 after seeing that Facebook had this line come up in my Status Update box: "How has your day been, Jameson?" Creeped me out. If my name was Dave it would have been worse. BTW, I hit the "Thanks" button, but I'm all out for today.
Just replaced the boot animation with this, really cool! The power on and power off sounds sounds great. Good job!
Murasaki likes, looking forward to throwing this on when I get off work.
Edit: Haha, this is great. Thanks!

did you copy the bootanimation.zip file to your /system/media folder? do not extract the files out of bootanimation.zip. can't imagine what else you could have done...

When I removed boot animation completely I'm pretty sure I had a black screen. Maybe, it didn't copy over correctly... Idk?
Edit: didn't mean to make it sound like I've tried it, yet. But, I've removed boot animation before and the result was a black screen, if I'm not mistaken.

My steps:
Download the zip given. Extract that zip wherever you'd like, all the things will go into a folder (obviously). Those things are bootanimation.zip, poweron/off.ogg
I first went into the folders and renamed the originals with a (...)2.zip at the end. I then went back into the folder and clicked Move To and placed them in to their according spots. Rebooted and working.
I didn't do this via computer, just in case anyone is confused. Downloaded from xda app on my phone and used ES File Manager to move around. Root settings and Writable.
Why not just use CWM to apply the new boot animation?

Does it put the sound file in the right place too? I've never used it on boots with audio. Just curious.

Because that's called spoon feeding. Moving two files to a folder after unzipping a file isn't difficult

Sure, moving two files to a single folder is simple, but moving three files to two folders?
j/k
That meme made that post gold, haha. Thanks for the laugh!

Another common way to keep the old bootanimation in there just in case is to rename them to bootanimation.zip.bak (for "bakup...").
Both ways work, that just seems to be how everybody does it.
Very nice animation by the way.

Nothing wrong with being weird unique.
Thanks for this. Classic!
Love this boot animation. I been running the 4.1.2 stock and i like the simple boot animation it uses.but this Hal one is awesome, especially with the audio it comes with haha. Most people i know wont get the reference but its super creepy when u do get it haha. Im just using the poweron not poweroff audio and the audio is almost perfectly timed for how long it takes to boot up the phone, excellent work. Nice job doblebo on bringing it over and to nicepenguin for creating it
