*edit 10.17.11 compatible with ei20
*im not responsible for your phone melting*
this is an update to the mod here, originally posted by kmalinich for froyo, and my version for ec09 here, but this is for eh09 gingerbread only!!!
if you are like me and hate the SAMSUNG boot splash, then this is a way to change it...unfortunately its not as easy with htc and moto phones..but heres a way to do it
things needed (taken from og thread)
*Rooted Samsung Fascinate (should work fine on mesmerize/showcase as well since its the same file on all) running eh09
*Android SDK/ADB
*Latest Heimdall (i believe its possible to to use odin for this, but apparently on other sgs it soft bricks, but if i get a chance ill tar up a version of this and try it)
*Edited/hacked param.lfs to flash
*New jpg boot logo size 480x800 (others have recommended it be less than 64k..but idkl)
How to Install:
*download file
*use 7zip/file manager to extract param.lfs file
*Enter download mode on your phone
*Install heimdall driver (if you haven't already)
*Flash new param.lfs IN HEIMDALL IN THE BOX THAT SAYS PARAM.LFS, NOT FACTORYFS (if you are using frontend)
*Reboot normally, if it boots into recovery/cwr just reboot again
*Ignore garbled text on bootup (you may even see weird 8 bit cwr logo spread all over screen, no big deal)
*Copy your new boot jpg to the root of your sdcard...must be named logo.jpg
*Open terminal
*Enter these commands:
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl6 /mnt/.lfs
cp /sdcard/logo.jpg /mnt/.lfs/logo.jpg
reboot
i have attached the "Google" boot logo in the zip or a tsm one down there

there are ways to avoid heimdall for the param, but would still need to do some terminal commands regardless

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):

oh and why is **** getting real?
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..

I'm on a mac and didn't have any problem. found a precompiled nbimg in the original nbimg xda thread here since i don't have gcc installed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8370174&postcount=85
Thanks phwelo. Now if i can get it to flash.
When i try flash it i get "-bash: fastboot: command not found"
Prerequisites:
1. You need an unlocked boot loader.
2. You need root.
3. You need a PC with adb that can see your phone
4. Your phone needs to have USB debug enabled
All of these are well documented here in the forum.
On the PC grab the two apk files that the UOT kitched needs:
Code:
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb pull /system/app/SystemUI.apk
Now go to the UOT kitchen and choose your battery style from the battery tab.
Next click on the "File Upload" tab and upload your two files.
Then submit your work to the kitchen and wait.
When the kitchen is done processing, you have a download called UOT-*.zip. download that. And extract it somewhere on your PC. Now you need to push the files to your phone.
Code:
adb push SystemUI.apk /data/local/SystemUI.apk
adb push framework-res.apk /data/local/framework-res.apk
Next you need to adb shell to the phone to remount the system partition as read-write and copy the files to their correct location. From the PC run "adb shell" Then, on the phone:
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p29 /system
cp /data/local/SystemUI.apk /system/app/SystemUI.apk
cp /data/local/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
cd /data/dalvik-cache
rm *
Then reboot the phone. When it comes back up you should have your customized battery.
NOTE: This is all from memory so there may be some minor inconsistencies but the general concept is sound. The main thing you MUST do is unlock the bootloader and you MUST have root (temp-root should be fine)
NOTE 2: There are a lot more things that you can customize using the UOT Kitchen. I've only changed the battery but you should be able to change icons, taskbar, lockscreen and more. So, if you are comfortable doing so, have at it.
And one final note. This is the brute-force method. Once a CWM recovery is created for the Amaze then most (all?) of this is unnecessary and you can just flash the UOT zip file from recovery.

I agree 100% with this.
We need to be able to do backups with Clockwork as well as use other scripts such as fix_permissions, clear dalvik-cache, etc to prevent bricks, FC errors, etc.

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.

PHP:
adb shell
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6
make shure that partion is mmcblk0p6 or you will brick device !
now you can reboot to recovery (volume up + home +power) and enjoy CWM 6.0.3.3
2- ON PHONE TERMINAL METHOD
First Download Terminal Emulator From Play Store.
Plug device and open Terminal apk
Right the Following Commands :
PHP:
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6
make shure that partion is mmcblk0p6 or you will brick device !(guys with fat fingers stay away !)
now you can reboot to recovery (volume up + home +power) and enjoy CWM 6.0.3.3
3- ODIN METHOD
Download odin and the .tar file Samer has provided
Open odin and click "PDA" and select the downloaded .tar file
finally make sure that only autoreboot and F.Reset Time is checked
then press start!
4- FLASHABLE ZIP METHOD
Download odin and the .tar file Samer has provided

Well, let's cut to the chase. Following method was inspired by this guide.
Credit goes to @tys0n for original guide.
Programs/scripts needed for this method:
param editor
Python interpretator (2.7.x)
Any graphical editor
Choose graphical editor by yourself as editiing picture won't be described here.
1) Create image image_new.jpg with resolution of 480x800 pixels and size not bigger than 64673 bytes.
2) Take image that you want to replace from /mnt/.lfs (logo.jpg for example, which is bootlogo) and rename it to image_orig.jpg .
Although using this method any picture in param.lfs can be replaced (but with not bigger size than original ones), logo.jpg is only was tested by author.
3) Then dd your param.lfs:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/sdcard/param.lfs bs=512000
4) create any empty folder (on PC), put here param_editor.py, param.lfs, image_orig.jpg and image_new.jpg
5) run param_editor.py. If everything was done successfully, in the same folder param_mod.lfs will appear, otherwise message that describe why it has failed will be shown.
Okay, lets to test param_mod.lfs. Of course, you can flash and reboot once it done, but there's a simple method(without having to wait until bootlogo appears... or doesn't) to check whether param.lfs is correct:
1) unmount /mnt/.lfs:
Code:
umount /mnt/.lfs
2) flash param_mod.lfs
Will be careful with typing following command. DON'T type wrong number of partition, otherwise your phone probably will be bricked. Better if you just copy/paste this line.
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/param_mod.lfs of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 bs=512000
3) now mount it again:
Code:
mount -t j4fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/.lfs
4) if you can see your custom bootlogo instead of stock one then everything is ok. Now can reboot and have fun
5) how to restore original param.lfs? Flash param.lfs, dd'd in step 3 ("3) Then dd your param.lfs:")
ToDo: despite of that I have successfully replaced bootlogo, one thing I wanted to check is how to repair the phone in case if something went wrong. For some reason I was not able to flash neither param.tar.md5 nor param.tar . I had to flash three-file stock 4.1.2 to restore it. I would be glad if anyone will provide flashable param.tar.md5 to avoid flashing stock for those who have failed to change bootlogo.
Okay, lets see what bootlogo can be done(custom param.lfs attached below):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Why exactly this bull***t (or whatever you can think)? Answer is that everything that I've done (including this guide) is just for fun, and it's first idea that came to my mind. Have fun
Chrono . I was trying do this tutorial. But recently I had a lot of work . Many Thanks , you spared me the time : D
Does not work here... Don't know what went wrong...
Tested logo_nfc.jpg and also logo.jpg
Files are as instucted in one folder...
There is no log or mod output... I got only this (with CMD and param_editor.py)..
Code:
opened param.lfs
opened ./image_orig.jpg
opened ./image_new.jpg
With normal double klick on *.py the cmd window closes to fast to see anything....
Just for test I tried to use original logo.jpg as image_orig.jpg AND image_new.jpg... But I got the same "output" and no mod file nor log...
I Installed Python 3.4.3 from webseite... Is this correct?
EDIT
Installed now Python 2.7.9 - and now param_mod.lfs was created! - Looks like 3.4.3 does not work...

It should have been to work... probably I missed something as it should not exit without prompt.

Yeb - it's working also with logo_nfc.jpg.
As I said I needed to used Python 2.7.9...
For those with 8160P - It's just a test with "powered by android" logo..
EDIT
And as the logo_nfc.jpg is a bit bigger (65194 bytes) I had to modify the py-script according to this - But as I said it works.
So its not limited to exactly 64673 bytes - But for sure its the best to stay with the same or below original size!
EDIT2
Added "powered by cyanogenmod"
