Hi,
I would like to change the green Windows Mobile screen when i boot my device. I have extracted the Welcomehead.png from my device and made another in Photoshop. Saved it as Welcomehead.png. I paste it in the windows folder and overwrite the original png. When i reboot i thought i would see the new picture but no luck here. Still the same green WM picture. What can i do to make this work for me?
make sure its not READ-ONLY(chk its attributes)
are you sure you replaced it? you can't replace it with Active-Sync, use a filemanager on your PPC to copy/cut the file and then paste it in the windows folder.
@ ather90
How do i check if it's read only or not?
@ me_
Yes I'm sure. This is what i did. I made the new png-file and made a rar-file, I copied it to my Card and extracted it there. From there i pasted it into the windows folder. I just did it again and it asks me if i want to overwrite it, yes in this case so it must be overwritten. Again, after reboot nu luck.
If you have an image viewer on your device, check that the file in the \Windows directory is now showing your new image.

Sorry for the late reaction, had to work.
I have checkt this and no it does not show up when i scan the images in the Windows-folder. Can anyone tell me what the right procedure is to make this work?
It should be named welcomehead.96.png not welcomehead.png - you should use total commander to overwrite the file and the welcomehead.96.png should be no larger than 100kb to work.

And this time it works. Thank you Meschle and others.
Hey!!
I´m trying to make a clock for MaxManila, using cfc_gui.exe to play around with the png files. As long as I have correctly read the manual (*g*), I should get a "windows" folder and the modified png files when using the "export" button. Curiously everthing works fine, cfc_gui.exe saves the png files in the directory of my choice...but there´s no windows folder yet, no manila files to work with.
What am I doing wrong here?
*HumpdiBump*
Just hit save as and pick the folder you want to save the png to...
Hi,
I have been playing around with the apple pissing and apple bashing boot screens.
As they were not in the order i wanted i decided to try and make my own bootanimation.zip. To do this i downloaded the .gif files and converted them to .png.
I then put these into folders called "part0" and "part1" and zipped it up with desc.txt which looks like this
Code:
480 800 30
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
However when I flashed it by putting it on my SD and selecting the flash zip option in recovery nothing changed.
I think this is because my .png files are animated. Does anyone know how to convert them to normal .png files with an image for each frame?
Or anything else i could have done wrong?
I followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623960
I have included the files as well.
Thanks
Update
Iv been playing around a bit more and have now managed to get the animated .gif into individual .png frames.
Iv renamed them, put them into part0 & part1 and created my desc.txt
I then zipped it into bootanimation .zip.
I booted into recovery and did
Code:
adb shell mount /system
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
adb reboot
When it rebooted the startup animation was replaced by a black screen.
Can anyone help me, as obviously other desire users have managed to create custom boot animations.
Iv attached my bootanimation.zip file.
Thanks
Right its definitely something to do with unzipping/zipping.
I know this because i downloaded one of the animations from the themes and apps section, unzipped it and zipped it again. This have me a black screen like whats happening with mine.
What procedure/program are other people following/using to create the bootanimation.zip?
Thanks
the ZIP needs to have no compression
you must choose STORE method when you are compressing it....and how did you mnaage to export the gif into png ????
I have been compressing it using the STORE method with Z-zip.
I can't remember exactly what i used to extract the frames as the .exe is on my work computer and im off today. I can post it up tomorrow for you.
Iv uploaded a screenshot showing the size before and after zipping.
Thanks for all your help
same problem here. I think the whole thing is somehow corrupted because the normal unmodified bootanimation doesnt show part 1 just the apple bashing.
agreed, pieing before bashing.
i've been playing with this too, but the result is black screen..
Hello, I've recently uninstalled and wiped my SD card of Android. Now I'm trying to install it from the latest (01/23) cab file and I keep getting an installation error when running it on my phone. I've also tried to extract the cab file manually on my computer with 7-Zip, but I get decompression errors. And when I unrar the .rar file I get a completely flattened directory structure.
What am I doing wrong here?
Delete all the Android files and folders from your SD card. This means the Android, andboot, and any other Android related folders that may have been created by apps and such.
Copy everything that's left off of your SD card onto your computer.
Format the card to FAT32.
Put all the stuff back onto your SD card.
Reinstall XDAndroid.
I've never had luck with the cab. I think it has something to do with the size, and how the device handles cabs. For me, it has been easier to download the rar file, extract that on the desktop, and then copy over the andboot directory to your sdcard.
I usually create a staging location on the hard drive before copying it to the device. Doing this allows you to customize the files/configs: edit the startup.txt file on the desktop, replace the original rootfs with F22's new file that allows for keyboard mappings, etc. Then when it's all finished, simply copy the directory to the sdcard.

I tried this and it didn't work. Got an error half way through the install.
For pohket's suggestion, I'm limited to Linux tools, and unrar extracts a flat directory structure for me, so there isn't like an `andboot` or other such directories, just every file, which I don't know how to organize.
I ended up using an old release from November 1, 2010. It's been the most stable release I've used so far. (and also the only release I had saved on my computer)

I have the feeling the latest cab file was not working too well. In the end I used the rar files as well and extracted those.
the cab doesn't work!!!

I had the same problem with that cab, I did everything: erase, format, copy, download - many times from different computers...but doesn't work at all. You should download the RAR file and uncompress into the fat32 - SD card. Worked at the first time.
ps: this FRX04 2.2.1 is quite slower than the FRX03!!!
Also, it halts everytime!!! (in my rhodium 210).
Okay i found this animation a while back and have been trying to get it to work on the EVO 4G, However i don't know exactly what the hang up is.
Steps i Took:
Extracted the Files
Extracted "Boot Animation.zip
Deleted "android Folder"
Renamed "VZW" to android
rewrote "desc.txt" to say
"480 800 15
p 1 1 android"
Zipped up VZW (renamed to android) and desc.txt and renamed the Zip File to "spc_bootanimation.zip", saved to SD Card
used es file explorer and navigated to system/customize/resource
Deleted the Existing spc_bootanimation.zip
copied the new one from the SD Card over to that same location and changed properties to rw-r-r (to match the properties of the old zip file)
and rebooted device, but on reboot it just played the 4g start up sound with a blank screen, any help is appreciated.
P.S. I DO NOT WANT THE BOOT SOUND ATTACHED TO THIS ZIP FILE, AND WANTED TO USE MY OWN SOUND.
boot will not work unless you 0 compress it cant just be zipped back up!
Use winrar set compression to store! then you should be good to go!
