What did you have to do the image to make it make it work for the 3d? What dimensions, etc.?
I would like to make my own and I'm not sure where to start. TIA.

540x960 saved as splash1.bmp, then ran through nbimg-1.1win32 (cmd line nbimg -F splash1.bmp -w540 -h960) then zipped up with the android info txt( you can rip it out of the one above) in normal and named PC86IMG(has to be just like that in caps)
Do you have to flash these or can you treat them as a boot animation (ie: put in system/customize/resources/ named" hTC_bootanimation.zip" The stock one looks just like a regular boot animation. Thanks in advance

no you dont flash them.
you put the PC86IMG.zip on your sdcard(name just like that remove anything other than PC86IMG and make sure there is only one with that name on sdcard) and boot into bootloader let the system find the file and then it will ask if you want to update press yes(volume up) and then it ask to reboot again press yes
Finally found one I liked (since it's obvious I wont be able to make mine until at least Monday..sigh). Renamed to PG86IMG.zip...sat it on the SD card root with no other zips around it...booted hboot...said yes...power to reboot...and I enjoyed.

anyone have a mod for optical sensor button ? i saw some post for other device and i tested on my phone and it went into a boot loop. this will be a nice mod since the power button is on the top right side of the phone and is kinda hard to press.

i've done this mod that exact same way on my aria with 4 different roms with no issues at all every time.
you really just need to save the qwerty.kl file and push it to the phone. reboot into recovery, go to the partitions menu, mount the system partition, push the file via adb, reboot your phone and voila.

Please take a moment to review the forum rules with regards to searching existing threads prior to creating a new one, and also regarding the proper sections to post in. Moving to General as this is not a Development thread.

I've done that. The qwerty.kl method just simply isn't working for some people.
This worked for me
Couldn't figure out how to add attachments to this post, and it won't let me add an external link since it's a new forum account. google ojwake-signed.zip or something.
Steps: Load file to SD card, boot in to recovery mode, install zip, locate this zip on flash card, reboot.
(ojwake-signed.zip)
Don't remember where i got this, but kudos to that guy!

Just to make it even easier on you
EDIT-Short Version...Download file from link above
-:Have Clockwork Recovery Installed and know how to use ADB:-
-DOWNLOAD ATTACHED to linked post qwerty.kl (may need 7zip to extract file from archive...)
-BOOT into CLOCKWORK recovery with NO USB PLUGGED INto phone!!!
-PARTITIONS>MOUNT /SYSTEM
-adb push qwerty.kl /system/usr/keylayout|adb reboot
As far as I know, this ridiculously simply method of pushing qwerty.kl has worked for everyone except the few that didn't boot into clockwork correctly, once they booted into clockwork correctly it then worked for them.
I updated the instructions to be crystal clear for all you noobs. If pushing a file to your android device is too painfully complicated for you, I suggest you read/search more and figure out what you are actually doing.
Neverwhere10's steps are just as painfully complicated, but at least he is providing some constructive input.
Thanks!

There is also a setting in one of the menus if you are using any of attn1's cm roms for this same thing. I currently have my aria set this way and I am using cm008 as of right now.

Do I need to be rooted to use this, if not how do I install, sorry total nub
being rooted makes it easier to install, but you dont HAVE to be rooted to do it. You'll need to push it to your phone through adb, there are tons of guides on the net on how to do it.
ok thanks man

Does this need to be installed through recovery? I tried it once but got no feedback and the screen just went back to install from zip.
Also, is this the red Droid animation or the green one?

I downloaded it real quick to check and it install an update.zip. You will need to push it through ADB or copy it to the media folder and replace the current bootanimation.zip using an app like root explorer (remember to set the 644 permissions!). Also its the red eye.
So, yes - I need to know how to brick my phone beyond repair please....
"Why !?" I hear you ask....
Imagine the situation: Some b*st*rd has stolen your phone . You are never going to see it again... ever... absolutely zero chance of getting it back...
If you had the option to brick it so no one could sell or use it, would you?
Yes, of course you would!!
It's possible to remotely execute any BusyBox/Terminal Command using the application Tasker and I want to know which one would do the most damage!?
Please let me know! "How do I totally brick my phone?"
load a corrupted radio file
ohhh, sorry to hear that. I had the perfect solution if you still had the phone. But um yea I don't take out my phone near any friends. My brother got his vibrant stolen only after 2 weeks.
Didn't mean to mislead! My phone hasn't actually been stolen! But I'm working on security profiles and need to know what the final command should be to end its life....
Can you flash a radio from the Terminal Emulator?

This is what I did and I actually got Verizon to give me a re-furb. What it does is bring you to the htc inc white screen then nothing else. Use root explorer go into systems/fonts and change the name on one of the droidsans.ttf files. I think I totally erased the files but changing them should cause the phone to be totally [email protected]#$. I hope this messes up your phone. Lol

Flash a stock recovery image to disable flashable recovery. Also renaming a file doesn't make the phone broken, it just doesn't allow it to boot.

To flash a recovery image from TE use this if your ROM supports it: flash_image recovery /sdcard/(name of recovery)
An example for me is: flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-heroc.img

That's brilliant thank you. Do you know if that can be reverted by flashing the custom recovery image again? Or will I lose the ability to do that once I flash back to stock?

As long as you're on a custom ROM that supports flash_image you can flash a recovery image through TE.

Do you have the information to know whether it's truly been stolen yet? I'd make sure that it's really been stolen and you, for sure, wouldn't get it back before attempting something like this. I definitely wouldn't want to brick my own phone on purpose just to find out I forgot it somewhere...

See the link above Chris. My phone hasn't actually been stolen, but these commands will be a last resort feature of Sherlock Droid.
Agreed, it would be a nightmare to brick it and then find it under the sofa!

You shouldn't brick it quite the opposite, the thief should be able to keep using the phone as much as possible but in the mean time the gps should be secretly turned on and photos should be make so you can track the thief or if that fails publish his info and name and shame him

You are absolutely right godutch, that is the main aim of the profiles to keep booting into the OS at every opportunity, even using fake recovering images (as in a photo of the custom recovery screen) for the splash and boot animation that appear to be the device gathering system information - all the time it will actually be booting with the launcher, notification bar and lock screen etc disabled so not to give it away - once there the priority is to get a GPS fix
However, there will come a point when you've not heard a peep from the device in days and perhaps your insurance (if you have it) have already paid out... In which case, some users will want to execute the remote 'self destruct' command, to make sure the phone will never be usable to anyone else....
Edit: Trying to make the thief provide a valid gmail address and forwarding the new number if the SIM is changed are all in there too!
What if thief changes to SIM that has no data plan or does not enter any wifi area?
CUSTOM SPLASH SCREENS FOR THE EVO SHIFT
***must have S-OFF and FULLY rooted****
LEAVE IMAGES IN THREAD MUST BE 480x800
Feel free to edit in Gimp, Photoshop, pixlr, etc...
dont know what a splash screen is? here or the annoying white htc screen as you boot up
STANDARD DISCLAIMER: IF YOUR DEVICE BRICKS OR BREAKS BECAUSE OF YOU NOT READING I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Instructions
1. Leave file in the root of sd card, rename PG06IMG_xxxx.zip as PG06IMG.zip
2. boot into your bootloader and it will read the file (PG06IMG.zip) as a update
3. volume up, or yes
4. done, reboot and enjoy your splashscreen
when I say 'by _______' I mean the editing, most of these images do not belong to me so I will not take credit for the original, just the edited splash.

Here is a link to a thread from January-February time frame...has some info for creating the .img file used in the PG06IMG.zip out of a .bmp file.
We used to do this in adb, but this method appears to be slicker and has the advantage of being able to change between any number of splash screens on a whim...without needing a computer.
