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'll upload a template to the OP.

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.. .

Decided to recycle an image I've been using since the HTC Vision days. Feel free to use it, just remember that I had to upload it in .jpg format.
Finally decided to root my phone and this was one of the first things i had to do.

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

Has anyone figured out how to change the boot animation?
It seems it's stored in /system/media/bootanimation.zip
I tried replacing the .PNG images inside the archive and that didn't work, although I might have messed up something. I'm just glad to be rid of that dreadful SE color splash until someone else finds a solution.
finished playing with this a little while ago... when you replace the files you must use no compression, ie store. i've attached one with the android robot waving (cropped from nexus) simple, but at least the splash is gone

Thank you for helping me sort this out.
Here's GLa’DOS "Android Scribble" animation for the x10 mini.
Apparently anim2 lasts a couple of seconds, and anim3 last the longest.
I lost my first x10 mini, so I added a name and telephone number for my animation after posting (and a lock screen for the phone).
if anyone want me to make any anime feel free...

1 root your phone
2 download rootexplorer(<---and install it) & any bootanimation.zip you want
3 open rootexplorer and go to your sdcard hold down your finger and choose copy
4 then go to system/media
5 at the upper of your root explorer its a button that says mount r/w make it says by pushing it mount r/o
6 push the button paste and then when it says ovewrite push yes
7 reboot and you r ready!!!!
if i make it a single file you will not have the option when the first animation is over the second to be anime it will be a still picture if you want that just leave one image in the second folder..because it have 2 phases of animation..!!!!(if you remember first when the colours where mixing and then the still image with sony ericsson logo and letters)
I've been trying to edit the desc.txt file so I can have a little more flexibility but even if I save it without making any changes it stops working.
After a look around the interwebs someone mentioned saving in the UNIX format, so I used Notepad ++ in UNIX and tried editing/saving in that but there's still problems, sometimes it doesn't work at all and sometimes it only shows the first folder.
Also, are there any limitations as to framerate and how many files can go in the part0/part1 folders (revision of enormous101's bootanimation.zip).
Finally, is it ok to add a part2?
do not use compression - use Winrar and select "store"

as i mentioned part 2 is when the bootanimation of sony ericsson stays frozen you can add anything you want and its safe to play with part two.. no limitation except your internal storage!!!!what exactly are you trying to do with desc?may i help you?if you find my preview posts at the first page you will find to download the bootanimation.zip with two parts so unzip it and when you add your images zip it with winrar at store compression mode...

Nice thread!
I was wondering about the desc.txt file. I am using the Rogers 2.1 firmware and I want to remove the Rogers screen that shows up just before desktop loads. The PNG file for the Rogers screen is located in Anim5 and I was wondering if I just removed the entry for anim5 in the desc file, would that do the trick? I've already moved the original bootanimation.zip file onto my computer so it is backed up but I was just wondering if this would work. I am using a X10 but it seems like the file system is the same which is why I'm asking here. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks for your response! From what I've been reading, it seems that if I remove the entry for anim5 in the desc.txt, that it won't load that animation. It just seems easier to do this than to replace the image in that folder. Though the problem would then be making changes to a UNIX based txt file using a Windows OS and then the phone not recognizing the desc.txt file based on it being in the wrong format.
Anyway, I suppose I could just copy over the last image in anim4 and replace the one in anim5 with that and that would be the easier solution (as per your suggestion).
Here is the thread I was reading where it describes the desc.txt file and how to modify your boot animation.

[TOOL] EZ Splash Screen Flasher and Image Converter>>Converts jpg, png and bmp files
This is a simple tool/script used to convert .jpg .png and .bmp files into the format used for the splash screen on your device. This can also be used to make a copy of your current splash screen or convert a splash screen image into a .png for you to edit. You can also flash the new image using this.
(Currently this has been confirmed working on the HTC devices below)
This is my first attempt at a script. With that being said...Please leave your feedback and ideas for possible updates or any issues. I also understand that there might be other tools like this on the forum but the one I found here didn't work on Windows XP. Plus I was wanting to learn a little about scripts and give people another EZ way to mod their device. There are some things I would like to add and a few little bugs. If some people like this I will make a updated version with more things and options. All the methods and things used in this zip can be found here on XDA. I just packaged them up and did the script.
I found most of the information for the script HERE and of coarse have learned tons in my time here on XDA, so much thanks to everyone here!!
Thanks to Iriscience and the links in his thread for the conversion tools.
And also option94 for his help.
The flash/backup splash option should work for any HTC devices that use a 480x800 splash screen but has been confirmed working with the MT4G, G2, EVO.
REQUIREMENTS
1. PC with Windows XP or better
2. Rooted HTC device with S=OFF and Eng Hboot (if only S=Off you can use Terminal Emulator method below for flash)
3. 480 X 800 png, jpg or bmp image
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Download the attached zip by clicking the rotating skull and then unzip
it to the desktop of your Windows PC.
2. Create or find the 480x800 image you want for your splash screen.
3. Go into the "Splash Flasher" folder you unzipped and place your image
in the "place-image-here" folder.
4. Click on the "CLICK-HERE.bat" and follow the on screen instructions.
NOTE: At this time this does not support having more than one of the
same image type in the "place-image-here" folder when converting and flashing.
Ie: You cant have more than 1 jpg, bmp, png or img in the folder at the same time.
You can have multiple images as long as they are not the same image type.
I don't accept donations but if you like my work

I would like to send out a big thanks to all the people here on XDA that have contributed to this collection. There are way to many to try and name. If you see your splash screen here, Thank you!!.
I was browsing the forums and came across a few splash screens that I liked and that were requested, so thought I would add them here for the Glacier family to enjoy.
As I collect more I will put links to the threads I have gotten them from so you can give thanks if you like.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Click on the image you like (it should open in a new window)
2. Right click on the image in the new window and choose "Save Picture As"
3. You can save it wherever you want (I suggest Desktop\Splash Flasher\place-image-here folder)
4. Convert your image to splash .img format and flash it using my script or the Terminal Emulator method I posted below.
IF you cant use the Splash Flasher/Converter, let me know and I can change any image to the correct splash .img format and post it up for you..

Here is how to flash a new splash screen image to your phone using Terminal emulator. Please keep in mind that as with any mod you can damage your phone beyond repair if done incorrectly.
1. Rename your 480x800 .img file to custom.img and move it to your sdcard.
2.Open Terminal Emulator and type "su" to get a #
3.Then type this exactly as it appears and hit enter. Make sure not to make any mistakes!!!
Code:
dd if=/mnt/sdcard/custom.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19
It should show you that the file has transfered. You can now back out of terminal emulator and reboot your phone to see the new splash screen.

I was wondering if there was an easy way to change the splash screen on our Touchpads? I'm talking about the small green Cyanogenmod logo that appears before boot. I've changed the splash screen on my myTouch 4G a lot and was hoping to do the same for my Touchpad. I heard a while back that its coded into the kernel and was hoping this was not the case. Any help is greatly appreciated!

If you extract the nightly with 7-zip, it's in the root of the created folder as moboot.splash.CyanogenMod.tga. Is that the one you are talking about?

That is exactly what I was looking for! What did you use to convert to png? And can I use it to convert to tga as well?
I used Paint.Net to convert to PNG, but I don't think it can convert back. The only thing I know for sure that can outup TGA is Illustrator.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA
I appreciate it! I ended up finding this site that will convert back and forth between a bunch of different file types. I'm going to try to make my own splash next week after I study for the three exams I have on Monday and Tuesday. Thanks for all your help though! Good looking out!
http://www.online-utility.org/image_converter.jsp?outputType=PNG
If you have a mac, Pixelmator can convert any file format to TGA.
EDIT: I don't believe that file is the cyanogen mod loading thing. If you look at this thread I made: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598427 you can see that the moboot.splash.CyanogenMod.tga actually controls the static boot image that displays after the loading, and before the animated boot animation. In cyanogenmod both images are the same, back to back, but in other roms, they are different. In other words, changing that file only gets rid of one part of the Loading splash. I believe that the other is coded into the kernel or something like that, similar to the splashes that appear on phones that tell you the name of the phone.

Go to Plugins on the Paint.NET page and download the package. Then you can create tga files as well.
But if you change the moboot.splash.CyanogenMod you will still have a cyanogen picture with loading letters.

It has to be in the uimage. Notice that if you have both aokp and CM9 uimage files in /boot, depending on which one you click, it at first shows the appropriate logo. So, part 1 in in the umiage and the 2nd part is the .tga file. Then the boot animation.

#2 + #4 = #11
Is it possible to change the cyanogen mod loading screen that occurs before booting into any rom/recovery?
No
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!

When I attempted to make one (launched from cmd), I got the following error:

Please provide a link to the gif so I can test it on my machine. Thanks.
Also, be sure to use the newest version: http://androidforums.com/app-game-a...nimated-gifs-boot-animations-adb-support.html

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.

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?

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!

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.

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

Where exactly does the bootanimation get stored when installed by ADB?

Thanks, I wanted to restore my previous one but changing it in /system/media didn't do a thing
Doesn't work in Ubuntu
Tried to run as root, but I still get "IO error: do you have sufficient permissions for the file system?". Is there anyone who has managed to run this on Linux?
- we take / create a picture of 1440x2560 in the format .bmp
- reflect it vertically and rename it to splash.img
- we throw in the root of the archive and sew from TWRP.
!!-I myself have done this (who needs - the splash in the archive, just flash it)
Download splash.zip
Oh look good
This is great. Any way to revert back to stock, just in case?

In the archive with any stock rom you will find the original splash.img

Proper good job mate, where did you learn all that stuff?
You build roms, you mod things, damn you're good. xD

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?
Every photo works?

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
