Can we create and flash custom boot splash screen (the first image on power on, not the boot animation) sing the same tools we use on HTC? If yes what should be the image size as there is two default resolutions on mediapad.
Sent from my HUAWEI MediaPad using xda premium
Yes we can! And it's very simple.
The (single) initial image is located in the update.zip and is called "logo.img"
It's a raw file (no header, just pixels) 1280*800*32bit.
I wrote a small program to convert from IMG to BMP and from BMP back to IMG.

I serendipitously discovered a PC utility for creating boot animations from GIF files. Navigate to this thread by Blufenix. It's self explanatory; just download the zip, extract, and run the Jar file.
Seems to work well. I used it to create this lovely Melanie Iglesias boot animation (attached, untested) :good:.
This is great! Check out the bootanimation I just made from Ace Ventura for my EVO 4G. Resolution 480x800. Feel free to use it yourself. Rename and place in the correct directory on your phone. Have fun!

The gif you provided is corrupted (specifically the first frame). I suggest you find a different source for this animation, or try to repair the gif with a tool like gifsicle, imagemagick, or some online gif editor. I tried to repair the gif myself (http://i.imgur.com/iLUXgw8.gif), but it looks bad (the first frame is a bit grainy), you can use it if you want, but I'm sure there is a better way to repair it.
jeffreylin_ said:
Ah, I see. Perhaps in the future you should implement a feature that notifies if the .gif is corrupted. I'll be using your image, it seems okay to me.
Oh, and how would one know if a gif is corrupted?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes, I should include that feature. This is the first time I've seen a gif corrupted in this way, so I didn't know what to look for until now.
I discovered that the gif was corrupted by making my program skip processing of the first frame (which made it run fine). This got me suspicious, so I opened the gif in an editor and saved it again. The other frames remained identical, but the first frame changed.
Thanks for using my program, and if you need anything else just let me know!
jeffreylin_ said:
Also, it seems that my phone is 480 by 800, not the other way around. When this was made into a boot animation, the program appears to have rotated the frames and then converted it. So on my phone it is horizontal. Just thought you might want to know.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes, that is an intended feature (I should probably make that more obvious with some kind of documentation). If the image is wider than it is tall, is will render in landscape. If you don't want that, you can try the "center frame" option. It will try to intelligently crop the sides of the image to fit your screen correctly, and render it right-side-up.
You should make more detailed instructions like
1. download
2. extract
3.open command window where you extracted (shift+ right click, open command window here)
4. type: "java -jar gif2boot.jar"
5. follow instructions on screen

Hello all.
I am somewhat a noob at android development so please deal with me. Anyways skipping right to topic, while using dsixda's kitchen I cooked my base or stock ROM and I got error while deodexing,3 files were not deodexed. Later on I faced error about something of magic header not found at boot. I could not modify a single file using kitchen, couldn't add busy box, root access etc.
Anyway I compiled the ROM and made it flashable zip and got error status 0 from CWM
Sorry I am not knowing much details so I cannot provide exact information. I have few log files I am attaching hope it helps
Please help me to develop my own ROM.
I will once again cook the ROM for generating a step by step error I face and will provide later but if with this log you can help me I'll bee highly grateful.
Also if someone can guide me on how to add features to stock ROM for example when we press voume button we see the icon of the voice decreasing or increasing as per the button pressed in respective environment, I want to add all the 3 options of sound whenever I click the button in any any environment i.e when I press the volume up or down keys I see all the options of call sounds, media sounds, and notification sound. Also I want to add custom battery icon and change toggle icons color and their style and create or edit theme for my ROM. I know you'll say use search but trust me I searched a lot for 2 months constantly ending up in vain.! :"( Please if someone can tell me the best way to do it. I use Xperia SP.

If you unlock your bootloader, it will put an annoying warning message instead of the usual greeting screen when you first boot up.
If you want to restore to stock logo screen, go to Hashbang173's thread.
If you want to restore your custom greeting, follow the steps below:
1. Download the XT1575-logo-new-9-14-15.zip file from Hashbang173's thread and extract the logo.bin file.
2. Connect your phone to your computer. Then run this:
Code:
adb shell su -c “dd if=/dev/block/platform/f9824900.sdhci/by-name/clogo of=/sdcard/clogo.bmp”
3. Then you can use a file browser app, go to your sdcard, and email the clogo.bmp to yourself. This clogo.bmp is your original custom greeting screen. You can actually customize that file if you want a different picture.
4. Next, download the boot logo maker by caitsith2.
5. Run the logo maker and load the logo.bin from hashbang173 that you downloaded at the beginning.
6. Replace the logo-boot and logo-unlocked image with your clogo.bmp file.
7. Save the project in the boot logo maker. It will create a flashable zip file.
8. Extract the new logo.bin from that new zip, then flash it via fastboot (replace /path/to/logo.bin with the actual path to the new logo.bin you just extracted):
Code:
fastboot flash logo /path/to/logo.bin
I've uploaded a template logo.bmp file that you can edit and use for the moto maker to make your own custom greeting. If you want to make your own, skip step 2, and use the uploaded logo.bmp to edit as step 3. Dimensions for your custom image needs to be 1440x2560 pixels.
Credit
@Hashbang173 for creating the original logo restore.
@caitsith2 for the logo maker tool.
@vnphantom for figuring out how to retrieve your custom boot screen.
Thank you for this!

Sure. Simply make an image to replace it. I'm assuming any file format would work, but the one pulled from the phone was a BMP file with dimensions 1440x2560 pixels.

I am using this tool to create custom logos. You can also fully customize the battery charger and bootloader images (like the android with his belly open).
For the logo file I'm saving them as 1400x2560 24bit .png files. (but in the tool you can see the resolution for the other types.
1) Open the logo.bin from this thread.
2)Replace whichever images you want
3) Save as zip
4) take the bin file from the zip and flash it with fastboot... fastboot flash logo mylogo.bin

Mine worked at 191K. I read that the reason the default logo screens are mostly one color is to reduce size. So going with a circle of detail in the middle of rectangle of one color can help.

I guess that's why it was giving me issues, since I am not using a one color image. I just re-sized one of the icons in the picture and reduced the image to the same 85kb and it wont work again. Even by reducing it at 74kb. Ill attach the image in case you want to take a look at it

Your dimensions were off. I simply stretched it out to the dimensions mentioned earlier. I've edited the OP to reflect dimensions for custom images.
When I pulled the logo, I saved the files as .png... and that's how I save my edits. .png is better at stretching/shrinking and not looking bad. My logo.bin file was 2.43/MB and had no problem..
Plus, I use paint.net to edit... it's free and you can do a lot of stuff with it.. .

I had the same thing happen when I stretched the image. I had to just leave the image centered. If you stretch it size of image increases and may be too big. I saved in .bmp, but png worked as well. Good luck.

Okily dokily. Here is how it worked for me using Photoshop.
Open a new image 1440 pixels X 2560 pixels, resolution 96px/in
Paste the image in, make changes etc. Make sure the image takes up all the room you want. You don't want to stretch it later.
Go to save as and choose jpeg.
Image options should pull up. Choose low quality. If it is over 100K use the slider to lower it even more. I'm not sure exectly where the cutoff is, but mine worked at 85.1k

Lol someone said that you needed to mess with the kernel to do that...
Motorola had its own program to change the boot image and the battery charging images. It made zips and stuff... But the good thing about Motorola is that it replaced your boot image with a warning sign when you unlocked the bootloader, so you could replace it and you would have no warning because of the unlocked bootloader. Is there any way to get rid of the "can't check for corruption" message? Cover it up at leasy?

Yes, but do not forget that it should be in .bmp format. To do this, you can use online converters or open an image via Paint and save it by selecting the format .bmp
