[Q] Change bootscreen/bootlogo (logo.rle) - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Recently i purchase a xperia Z2, i rooted it and change que boot animation (very easy) but the trouble is changing que bootscreen/bootlogo (SONY image in white and background black)
I made it in Xperia Z and S but if i overwrite the logo.rle in the ramdisk in boot.img and flash it in fastboot mode it steel show the oficial image and no the one i write. The really funny thing is that if i extract the boot image and see in it's ramdisk the logo.rle is the one i write but never shows it.
If someone knows about this, please help me, i'm becaming crazy because it'sw not logical.
Thanks and sorry for my very bad english.

Ok, thanks

Change bootscreen/bootlogo (logo.rle) DONE
Finally i download the kernel source code for 23.0.1.A.0.167 and made a little change to simply display the logo, and it worked. But the SONY image shows initially then the logo.rle and finally the boot animation, i think the SONY image it can't be skipped.
Thanks.

Hi guys,
since firmware 726 there is "xperia" underneath the SONY logo. So they changed it. Is it possible to make an own Logo here?

Its not a kernel change, its from before the kernel.

Even if this is quite old but it helped to find the trigger - Must be this commit if i'm not mistaken:

[Q] Boot sound for mini /pro?

Hey guys,
well, maybe this sounds funny but..can we put a custom sound at boot process on our minis? i mean just like on your computer? and i remember that my last phone (SE w810i) had a boot sound. Don't know if this is possible on Android so therefore im here to ask
Thanks for your answers
It is possible boot you need to make a bootsound bin file
And you need to edit the ramdisk inside the filesystem to add an boot property for the bootsound
Sent from my u20i using XDA Premium App
wow! awesome that its possible..and it sounds very easy to realize. But as im not a dev i cant manage this.
Masterful Owain, could you deal with this for me/us? Of course just when you'll be done with your bigger projects
surely we can't edit the ramdisk without cracking the bootloader first.... ( thinks of initrd file)

i thought we wouldn't need to crack bootloader to edit ramdisk..please correct me if i'm wrong but: recently owain edited cm7 for mini pro and changelog said:
changelog:
v5:
WiFi
New and better ramdisk
Dirty keylight fix

so i think he just edited ramdisk in order to change it to a better one, right? and bootloader isn't cracked yet, right?

Change Boot Logo on CM7.2

I just want to know if it's possible to change the boot logo (NOT boot animation) on CM7 cause I don't really like the "Free Xperia Project" logo, at least not the one from this version, I have to say the boot logo of the CM9 is pretty nice, but I really want to change the boot logo for the original one, the one from Sony, but I don't want to change the kernel, I'm using the default one that comes with the rom (cm7) Is it possible to do that?

You have to unpack the kernel, there you should be able to
Yeah,there was somewhere a tutorial for how to do this.
Just search for it.

Yes, but it's not easy... Search for kernel kitchen, it will have scripts to help you extract the image and put it back in...

[Q] Port TWRP to xperia 2011 mdpi

Hey guys,
Do you believe it would be possible to get Team Win Recovery Project on our devices? Because it looks much better than clockworkmod and it has so great functions! But I don't know much about this recovery; if this is only for nexus devices or Samsung or whatever, I just wanted to ask
It looks like they took the AOSP recovery and built it on top, but do you think it would be possible on xperias?
Sent from my Nexus 7 running Android 4.2.1
Okay it looks like we could give it a try and compile it, so would anybody be interested?
Who wants to know what TWRP is could look here!
There is a working recovery for the Xperia S, so maybe we could get one, too? Any developer who would be interested in that?

I am pretty sure it can be done, because I am pretty sure there is support for mdpi screens (320x480). Thomas1991_12 compiled it for the Ray and I know that it wasn't easy and that ChampionSwimmer helped him out with the dual ramdisk kernel. The instructions from dees_troy are pretty easy to follow but of course it didn't work right out of the box but Thomas1991_12 might be able to help you out. Here is the final product thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046977 and here is the dev thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1948097. It is also working on the X8 at least for ics.
TWRP is really nice. It has some added features which are nice but it is also a lot faster than CWM, at least on my device.

I would like to see this done, too, but I'm no developer at all, never did anything regarding kernels. I could try to get the recovery image, but I wouldn't know what to do after that. And if there are many errors I couldn't go on, so maybe a "real" dev could do it
Do you think we could even try to do this with cm10.1 cyanogenmod sources or better sync to cm9?
Edit syncing my repos to cm9, let's see how it works!
Okay I'm trying it on cm9, what to do with this error? I thought there was something to delete but not sure
Code:
make: *** Keine Regel vorhanden, um das Target »bootable/recovery/res/images/icon_firmware_error.png«,
benötigt von »out/target/product/mango/root/res/images/icon_firmware_error.png«, zu erstellen. Schluss.
Can you help me?
EDIT: Got it by deleting the whole #PRODUCT_COPY_FILES like explained here, but after flashing with
Code:
fastboot flash boot recovery.img
I get the FreeXperia logo and a black screen. What to do now?

obviously, debug. as its been said by justmpm it wont just work out of the box just like that. u probably need to to ask Thomas1991_12 what he changed in the source to get it working for ray. since all xperia 2011 gen share similar hardware, ray config should work for other 2011 phone too with minimal changes.

I think Thomas1992_12 might be taking a holiday, as he isn't replying to questions in his kernel threads.
I never tried to compile with cm9 but with cm10 the black screen is where I got stuck. Thomas1992_12 was able to get past this point and if I remember correctly, the problem is with init.rc. If you check the ray dev thread, he has a solution for getting past it. After you fix this, you will
probably face the "ghost touches" on the screen and then you will have to figure out how to boot into recovery. Again, Thomas and/or ChampionSwimmer will probably be able to give you the fixes. But don't give up....you are really close!\

Thanks, I really want this project to be done!
First I downloaded the TWRP bootable/recovery sources as a zip, but the zip was named ..-jb-..zip so now after some research I'm trying it with ...-master-...zip and I hope I will get past this black screen. The init.rc is the one from TWRP, because I replaced the whole bootable/recovery folder with the files/folders from the master zip...
I think I will ask championswimmer, but I guess he is very busy, because he's such a great dev! :good:

You the man!!! You the man!!!
ChampionSwimmer has the fix for getting it to boot correctly. The one set up on the ray has dual recovery: hit the power key and you go into twrp, hit vol dwn and you get cwm.
Keep up mihahn, I want TWR so bad, that I can't sleep
Come on mihahn! You can do it!

Here is recovery image just for testing purpose. Contain only recovery! To flash them do:
- fastboot flash boot recovery.img
With these command you will install recovery only and your android rom will not boot until you flash boot image for your rom!!!

Yes you can use them, but your android will not boot until you flash back your kernel! These file is only recovery without android ramdisk, thats only recovery and recovery ramdisk!

Since these boot image contain only recovery you no need to press anything because default boot is recovery ! To get back to android boot you need to flash boot image for your rom!
