[Q] [xPeria Sola] How to change boot logo ? - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hey everyone !
So I flashed this JB stock ROM by Munjeni. I'n getting this "Sony Custom" boot logo at the start before the boot animation which I don't like at all :silly:
So is there a way to set a custom boot logo ?
Thanks

I will surely try it !
This method seems too difficult to me though
Thanks anyway! :good:

well i found this,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1632001
don't know where to find the original sony boot logo tho
scratch that, that didn't work.
i found this instead http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2476783
ofcourse, the kitchen he provided does not work with munjenis cwm
but you can unpack boot.img using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2036528
i can't seem to pack tho. ramdsk folder denies access when you try to pack.

umm.. i tried the windows way and the "boot.img" seems always make boot folder but there's still "boot.img" inside :/

Boot Animation Problem

So... i've tried to change my boot animation today but it didn't work out.
I was following an wrong tutorial and turns out that i deleted the bootanimation file in the system/bin folder intead of overwrite the bootanimation file in system/media(that i have an backup).
When i turn on the device after the logo of Sony Ericsson i doesn't show the bootanimation, the screen stays black.
This problem it's becausa i've erased that file?
Can somebody upload for me the bootanimation file of system/bin so that i can try again?
Really apreciated.

Yes you can change...but for changing OPEN zip..not extract. Open with winrar or 7zip and replace bootanimation.zip with any other bootanimation.

You also need to install clockworkmod recovery.
Press volume - key repeatedly when you see sony ericsson boot logo after installing CWM.After installing cwm just boot in recovery mode,go to install from zip and select this and install.BUT just in case before doing this make a backup oh whole os with cwm using backup.

For recovery you must install proper recovery or kernel.
Booting....restart, and when phone booting up, then continuously press volume down...when recovery showing up.

Ok guys, it "worked"
I mean, i did install the CMW and applied teh update.zip
But, the same problem continues, after the boot logo it shows a black screen in the place where it suppose to be the boot animation.
I believe it's because i erased that bootanimation file in system/bin...
Now what?

Easiest way - just reflash the FTF your ROM is based on without wiping data. Should get you stock ROM and kernel and preserve all your stuff.

[MOD][APP][MDPI/HDPI] Two different CWM Recoveries and root access apps flashable

Requirement:- (1) Must be a rooted device and CWM recovery should be preinstalled. (2) Must be a 2011 family xperia device.
As we all know that on locked bootloader
or stock kernel whenever we install a new
custom rom through CWM Recovery
generally our Recovery gets wiped and we
have to install recovery again. So
basically this mod will helpful to those
who have locked bootloader or stock
kernel and often changes their roms like
me, whereas on unlocked bootloaders we
generally uses custom kernels which have
built in recovery so it is not so useful for
them. On locked bootloader or stock
kernel the most simplest way to install
recovery is by using XParts app (Thanks
to pvyparts). Using this app is not a
complicated process but it is quite lengthy
process because first you have to
download and install XParts app then it
will download recovery for your handset.
Also this all can't be happened without a
internet connection and sometimes we
don't have a internet connection, so we
have to wait for working internet
connection so that we can install
recovery. One more thing sometimes we
got bootloop after installing a new rom,
then only way to overcome from this
problem is flashing official Sony firmware
through flashtool using laptop or
computer, after that we have to again root
and install recovery on our device. All this
process is also quite lengthy and we can
say to some extent it is complicated also.
And sometimes we don't have all
necessary things like laptop, computer,
flashtool etc.
Therefore to overcome all these problems
I have made two different CWM
Recoveries as a flashable zip. Now
whenever you install a new rom through
CWM Recovery just after flashing the rom
don't reboot, come back in recovery flash
one of the recovery file which one you like.
After flashing the file you have CWM
Recovery and you don't need to install it.
Now if you got a bootloop after installing
a new rom then you can easily get into
recovery and restore your nandroid
backup. No need of computer laptop etc.
Here I have attached two different
recovery files. The first one is CWM
Recovery by pvyparts and second one is
CWM Recovery 5.0.2.7-nAa-r2 by nobodyAtall.
To get access in CWM Recovery by pvyparts just press volume down key rapidly when blue
notification light blinks on Sony logo. This
key combination may be different for
different devices, for example on my
Xperia mini (on ICS) the right key is
power key whereas for Xperia neo V (on
ICS) just hold the touchscreen when blue
notification light blinks. Whereas on
second one you can get into recovery by
pressing volume down key when Sony
logo blinks or gets brighter. Here I have
also attached XParts app as a flashable
zip, so that if you don't know your right
key combination to get into recovery then
you can use this app to get into recovery,
just flash it in recovery,with CWM
Recovery flashable zip. Successfuly tested
it with Smart Xperia Rom, Revolution ICS
HD, Viper Xperia and Zelly cream.
[ Note:- If u have rooted device but don't
have recovery then you can install it
manually by using root explorer just
extract the files from zip and put them in
their respective folders with permission
( rwx r-x r-x) to all files.]
And in last a very special thanks to
pvyparts for his such a beautiful XParts
app and recovery for our 2011 Xperia devices and to nobodyAtall for his recovery too.
Instruction for installing:-
(1) Download the files and put them on sd
card.
(2) Now whenever you flash a new
custom rom through recovery just after
flashing the rom do not reboot, just go
back in recovery and flash one of the
flashable recovery file which you like the
most and enjoy.
[Now two different flashable superuser apps are also included in this thread which can be flashed through cwm recovery, in case you have cwm recovery but no root access.]
Press thanks if you think this post is
useful to you.

Try the recovery by pvyparts but as I have mentioned above in discription that the key combination to get into recovery by pvyparts may be different for different handsets so it may also different for your handset. You can try power key or vol. down key etc. to get into recovery. Good luck

thats strange because on my friend's mini pro this recovery works well with kernel panic. Now tell me after flashing the recovery by pvyparts have you noticed any blue notification light blinks for some time during the booting process of your phone means when sony logo appears and gets brighter ?
Also it will not change your built in kernel recovery but instead of using that you can use this.

then manually install the recovery files to their respective folders with right permissions as I have mentioned above and use x-parts app to get into recovery. I hope this will help you. Also in my friend's mini pro he gets access into recovery by pressing power key when notification light blinks during booting process.

No I can't because android kernels are based on linux and I have very little knowledge of linux but I can provide you some useful links that can help you to change the recovery of your kernel. I will provide links in one or two days.
