i am a newb at everything. i have no idea how to edit rgb565 files, but i want a custom splash screen. could somebody either tell me how to do it, or add DK MODS in the top gray section of this splash? thanks in advance.
sorry, change of plans
i changed my boot animation to dancedroid, so i changed my boot screen to match. instructions would still be appreciated, but instead of adding DK MODS to the other one, please add it to the attached one. thanks again for all your experience.

no i do not. i seems alot of stuff for android is just for windows use. i would suggest getting vmwares virtual machine and running windows in there. it will take a while to set all the networking up on there but in the end should be worth it
thanks, and another problem
i think i might get vmwares in the future, but the price of windows 7 sickens me. i am running on a friends windows laptop right now, and have the convertor program open, but it won't let me put any rgb565 files in to be converted. thanks for all your help so far. also, do you know if vmwares costs any money itself? i'll google it...
don't have an image to customize
okey, i have read both of the links you have given me very thouroghly, but niether one tells me how to convert an rgb565 to an img or a jpg in order to customize it. is it as simple as doing all the command prompts in reverse? thanks once again

I don't think that thread will help him/her 'cause would need to flash for that, and he's trying to keep the rom the way it is, from what he said.

Very true. That would change his ROM. He/she didn't post what images he/she wanted to change, so not sure what they would like to do. I know that on other ROM's I have changed the boot and splash screens by overwriting the .PNG files, but I cannot find said files on this ROM, so it will probably involve flashing.

I found that using the htc unlock in this thread that you could then use a good explorer program, and copy over any images needed....I am trying to figure out what file to overwrite to change the startup splash screen, but otherwise this method works well....i now have personalized the images...such as the htc banner in contacts, and the in-call bg.
p.s.- this is a better alternative than alphanuma....at least on the rom i am running....
I have a limited knowlege of computer coding with c++ and was thinkin of making some roms into a .exe file to see how it goes i was wondering whether any one has any help they can give me about doing this.
Thanks for any help in advance
what would be the benefit of making it .exe ?
well i was just thinking it would be something to do maybe it would be possible to put extra things in the uploader part, also i know that the proper roms from the suppliers of the phones are in exe form.
im sure it is posible to make the exe from ROM updates, but i think XDA-developers had put in a good hard work into making the HARD_SPL to prevent bricking the phone. Im not sure if you can offer the same pertection on exe method.
well ive got some free time in a couple of weeks so ill have a look and see how well it turns out.
sounds like fun. Let me know how it goes. ill be waiting to test it.
Are you wanting it to be something like this?
http://www.4shared.com/file/107710780/ebca0f58/att_stripped_ruuwrapper1.html
That is the at&t stripped rom, it takes it a sec to get going because it's already compressed, and it has to extract the files.
And I did it without any (real) programing. Have I strung you along long enough?
I used bat to exe converter v1.5. I made a ruuwrapper.bat containing a line to run ruuwrapper.exe, and included RUU_signed.nbh and RUUWrapper.exe.
thanks for your help boog321 ill have a look at what youve done when i get some time away from revising
ill put another post when i am starting to test how it goes to let you know champsk
This is great and all, but being the nerd I am, I hate binaries that aren't able to be uncompressed manually. And knowing that the people that come here are nerds somehow too, I assume they are probably of the same thought.

Yeah, but man, the rom isn't included in there, so that is what is awesome about it.

I'm assuming that you meant it is included.
It is cool, unless someone wants to use the sd method to flash. You can set bat_to_exe to either use the current directory, or temp, the example I gave here uses the temp which makes it even harder to catch the nbh file. It will delete the files when it closes.

It isn't included in the RUU flasher package. It is included as another file with it.
hmm all i can say after reading your posts is that ill give it a go in a couple of weeks. see how it turns out, see what you guys think of it and maybe i can make it into something good.
thanks for the replies

Ahh, ok, we're on the same page. Just threw me off with my quote. I was actually using the bat_to_exe for a totally different project, but just had to try it for this instance.

haha yeah. No worries. Made that mistake many times.
so i need to know what file type the image needs to be, the size it needs to be, and how to install. basically a step by step of the process.
i'm running osx 10.6 so if anyone can give me some advice for doing it on mac that would be much appreciated.
thanks in advance.

Hello developers!
I couldn't find out how to add .xap's to my rom so they get installed on the first start...Just putting the .xap into the IMGFS folder doesn't work. So, there has to be something missing or something like that.
Could someone please help me?
Thanks!

this is what actually happened to me
Each xap is referenced to a license.xml file. Find a way to stop the phone from checking the license, that would work. I think this should be the next development for windows phone. We now have hspl(for HTC), full unlock, and internet sharing, this would be nice. Even better would be if you clicked an xap file file in touchxplorer it would bring up that screen from first boot and install xap directly. Gotta be a way.

Okay...Sounds logical
But why do the HTC Apps install themselves then? Something special about 'em?
All -
I am not sure where to go. I am new to a Verizon GNex running stock ICS v4.0.4 and using a mac laptop, and looking to possibly get into rooting. It appears CM9 is popular specially since they appear to have added several of the SIII's new features.
I have read several posts on several sites talking about rooting the GNex. There seems soooooo many different ways to root i'm going crazy. Since I am new to rooting, I am not sure what is the best/easiest way to get started to ensure I don't loose anything.
Any help on the right way to go, any forum posts to start with, etc....would be very much appreciated!!
Thanks!

Thank you both for replying, but....I am working on a MacBook and the link you provided appears only to be for a Windows Machine. I luv the walk-thru what exists in the forum - I just need it for a Mac..
Thanks again!
Should be the same deal... just with terminal.
Here is a zip with ad and fast boot needed for Mac. It may also have the recovery and su.zip but ignore those use what the windows tutorial says.

Exact same method, but use Terminal instead of Command Prompt, and put a "./" in front of every command. For example:
Code:
./adb devices
