I'm new to this and just need a tutorial on how to create custom splash screens on a Evo. If any one can show me or post a link that be great.
Download this and unzip it. (On your computer)
http://db.tt/YLmI87K
There's a how-to included in there that tells you how to use it.
Sent from my HTC EVO 4G with Tapatalk
there's also a program called nbIMG, along with the one mentioned above.
Thanx working great!!
These instructions work for anyone who rooted using the "UnrEVOked" method such as that given at HTCEvoHacks.com. I have not tested these instructions with any other root method out there.
For the sake of these instructions, all references and instructions dealing with PhotoShop are assuming you are using PhotoShop CS5. Cammands may be slightly different on older versions of PhotoShop, so it may take a few extra clicks to find what you're looking for.
1. You can download custom boot images from the web, or create your own in PhotoShop using ANY sort of photo, graphics, text, or combination. You MUST make sure that the image size is set as the same for the EVO's screen resolution (480x800). For this reason, I would double check any image file you try to use prior to converting it for use with your phone.
2. Open your image file in Photoshop and make whatever tweaks or enhancments you like. Remember to "flatten" the image prior to saving it out if you have multiple layers in your file. You can use the next step to resize the image first if you like, but depending on your current settings in PS it should not matter.
3. Right click the file window (the one that contains your image) and set the "Image Size" settings to a width of 480, and the height to 800. These measurements MUST be in pixels as well. If you have the "Constrain Proportions" box checked, you may not be able to tweak these individually without affecting the other. So uncheck that box and change the size settings. Click ok to close the box and the image will resize within Photoshop.
4. After you have finished creating your custom image, flattening the image, and resizing it to fit on your phone's screen, it is time to save the file. Navigate to the "file" menu and click "save as". Here, you can choose where to save it, name it, and choose the file format. It's probably easier to go ahead and save it as "splash" now, so that you wont have to rename it later. Either way, this file MUST be named "splash" when we are in the final stages. Save it as the "BMP" format, and you will get a pop-up window for the BMP options. "File Format" should be set to Windows... and choose the depth option of 24 Bit. The "compress" and "Flip row order" boxes should be unchecked, and you do not need to go into any advanced settings. Once you have saved the file, You can close PhotoShop.
Now the File needs to be converted from the BMP format into an IMG file. This is so that the bootloader in your phone will see it when you flash it to your phone.
There are a few conversion tools out there, but I have found Splash Screen Creator to be the EASIEST way to convert the file with a few clicks.
The link to download this small program is here... http://www.addictivetips.com/?attachment_id=43073 ... and it is FREE!!! (I did not create this program)
1. Download the .zip package from the link above.
2. Extract the files. I found that creating a folder on my desktop to secure these files (and these files only) to be less of a headache.
3. After you have extracted the files, you are ready to convert your "splash.bmp" file. You MUST move this file into the same directory that you unzipped the Splash Screen Creator to. It will only find the bmp file in the same directory, which is why having its own folder is easier. Move your "splash.bmp" file to the same folder and open "RUN THIS ONE". This will open the program in a command prompt.
4. Choose option 1 to convert your existing .bmp file into the required .img file. The next option will ask if you would like to flash the file to your phone. This option is not necessary for these instructions, but I have read of others being successful. You can try this option, but if it fails, go on to the remaining steps.
5. Go ahead and close the program by pressing another key to exit. You should see your new "Splash.img" file in this same directory. Rename this as "splash1.img"
Now that I think of it, naming the BMP file to "splash1" prior to converting to the .img format may solve the error when trying to flash the file to the phone
within Splash Screen Creator. The img file MUST be name "splash1" prior to updating it in the bootloader in the next steps so it makes sense that the program would come up with an error at this point. I have not tested this theory at this time, but you are welcome to. If someone does test this, please update these instructions
to save from many unnecessary steps below!
Your next steps require access to your original "PC36IMG.zip" file that you used during your root process. If you do not have your original "PC36IMG.zip" file, you
can try to download one here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8913849&postcount=156 ... I have not tested this file yet, but worth a shot if you dont have it.
1. Make a COPY of your "PC36IMG.zip" file and move it to your directory where you have worked with the custom splash files. This saves from getting confused between files and flashing the wrong one to your phone. You're also making a copy so that your original "PC36IMG.zip" file is NOT altered.
2. DO NOT unzip the file! Simply drag your "splash1.img" file over to your zipped "PC36IMG.zip" folder and copy it in there. If you get a prompt to overwrite an existing "splash" file, go ahead. Afterall, you are working with a copy of the PC36IMG.zip.
3. After you have added the "splash1.img" file into the "PC36IMG.zip" folder, you can now move the zipped folder over to your sd card. Make sure that it is the ONLY copy on your sd card, and that you have not placed it in any other directories. BOOTLOADER WILL NOT FIND IT IF IT IS IN ANOTHER FOLDER!!!
4. AT THIS POINT YOU WANT TO BE SURE YOU HAVE BACKED UP YOUR ROM!!!! YOU WILL LOSE YOUR CURRENT ROM AND DATA AFTER THE NEXT STEP!!!!
5. Reboot the phone into Bootloader by holding the volume down button and pressing power. The bootloader will find your "PC36IMG.zip" and ask you if you want to update. Press the volume up button to say YES! Grab a coffee, chug a beer, or take a piss, cause this step takes a few minutes.
6. Once the bootloader has finished it's update, reboot your phone. it will now display your new custom splash screen!!! (but you're not done yet)
Because you updated your "PC36IMG.zip" files in the bootloader, you have in effect reflashed the stock rom (rooted of course) back to your phone.
Allow a few mintues for your phone to boot up, log into your g-mail account (so that you have access to the market), and download Rom Manager (or your favorite backup
manager), and restore back to your rom!
Like I said before, I have only done this on the HTC EVO that has been rooted using UnrEVOked through the process explained on HTCEVOHacks.com. I have no idea if
this process will work with other configurations, and I accept no responsibility for the outcome of your actions!!!!
Can't u flash these also ??

They're "flashed" in the bootloader, as a PC36IMG with the file being respective to how you rooted. You can also "flash" them using fastboot, but that can only be done if you're on the .76 bootloader.

Hello,
The reason why anyone would do this is for example - I installed the Rogers WM6 but preferred the HTC BOOTSCREEN Image - hence why i personally did it. I did not like Rogers BootScreen Images as they take too long to boot as well as the bootscreen image in the Rogers WM6 used to load after the Green Windows Mobile Screen and on power-up, it used to have a black screen instead of the bootscreen image which to me did not seem practical as I rather see that the phones turned on right away than wait till the Windows Mobile screen loads. I've successfully flashed HTC Bootscreen image using the following steps. I had a member ask me how to flash .nbh files to phone. I'm talking specifically about the bootscreen .nbh images. In order to flash .nbh boot screen images - you have to flash through USPL. Here's how to do it -
1) Firstly, Download all required files that is
a) USPL CID -BYPASS
b) RUU
c) SDA APPLICATION UNLOCK
d) BOOTSCREEN IMAGES(IT CONTAINS HTC, ROGERS AND TMO BOOTSCREEN IMAGES)
2) Copy/Paste RUU File that is ExcaIMG_USPL_1110000unsigned.nbh to the desktop.
3) Copy/Paste ANY of the preferred BOOTSCREEN IMAGE (i.e. for example HTC.nbh) to RUU directory
4) Right Click ExcaIMG_USPL_1110000unsigned.nbh and Select Rename - Press Ctrl + C to copy file name
5) Head over to RUU and Right-Click HTC.nbh, Select Rename - Press Ctrl + V to copy over existing file name.
6) Once you're done this, REMOVE SD CARD AND REBOOT PHONE
7) Once done, APPLICATION UNLOCK YOUR PHONE IF IT HASN'T ALREADY BEEN APPLICATION UNLOCKED - YOU HAVE TO RUN SDA APPLICATION UNLOCK.
8) Now, Run USPL, Make sure you follow proper instructions as this is the main thing - if everything done right, you'll see screen goes into dim black with penguin and green messages, wait until you see the screen turns white then go to active sync and disable usb connections.
9) After this, run RUU and it'll use the re-named file which is the boot screen image to update the boot screen image. It will take max. a minute or two.
10) Once done, I think you see the tri-color screen but there won't be a cold boot - It'll reboot i think and go directly to the main screen.
11) Reboot and see if you see the preferred boot screen image.
For now, I'll post HTC, TMO and Rogers Boot Screen Images. We should still try as a group to create Custom Boot Screen .nbh files. If someone who know's how to make it, please share in this discussion.
Also, Does anyone know how to bring back the "Vibrate" mode during startup and shutdown?
Good Luck ! Post any concerns or any questions
NOTE: Please follow proper instructions, otherwise it won't work. If i'm missing anything, please let me know as I did this flash yesterday and I'm writing the guide today. Also, YOU HAVE TO FLASH THROUGH USPL - IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOUR PHONES CID UNLOCKED OR NOT.
Credits go to da_mayhem for uploading the images.
sweet, thanks... I'll try this later tonight after i get home from work... or tomorrow
woohoo, sweet... thanks for the guide lukybandit.
On step #2, you'll want to "Cut/Paste" if you copy, it leaves the original file in the folder, so renaming the HTC.nbh isn't possible unless you delete the original file.
also, step #8... DEFINATELY make sure you disable USB connections, i tried without and it didn't work...
However you're supposed to do that for WM6 rom updates also, but i never have, and haven't had a problem... until now that is.
Change HTC Splash Screen
Hello,
How to change the HTC splach screen which appears just after powering on the device?
I tried a lot of tools but I did'nt found one which works. Is it because the Excalibur screen is 320x240 instead of 240x320?
Does someone knows how to do?

This is not this splash screen I mean.
I am talking about the first one, which is in the NBH file as a NB file. I don't manage to make a good NB file in the right format to flash it using RUU.
nbh file wat folder wuld that b in because i jus changed my shutdown screen and i want my turn on screen to b da same as that one

No one knows how to make a NB file that contains the splash screen? The default HTC NB file begins with "this is smartphone signature".
i changed my shutdown screed with resci explorer but to change the start up screen the htc screen and the freen windows mobile screen i want to get rid of those ugly screens
any1? a little help lol just want to change the start up splash screen any1 know how
You can use nbimg, to convert from NB to BMP.
For excalibur you'll need to use the following syntax:
Code:
nbimg.exe -F MainSplash.[nb|.bmp] -w 320 -h 240 -n
Also you'll need to add the "this is smartphone signature" manually to the generated NB file (using an hex editor). Maybe I'll add support for doing this automatically if there's a need. PM me as I'm not following the thread.
just saw on another thread how to create a .nb file from a .bmp .... i placed this here because apparently luky got the tmo and rogers .nbh files which have the mainsplash.nb files in them. need to know how to take the .nbh files he included and replace the mainslpash.nb and mainsplash.bmp files with the ones i created
heck i'll even upload the images here if someone wants to show me what to do
i was able to get the .nbh file created but when i flashed the phone with that file the first screen now looks like a green gradient image and not the image i put in the .nbh file
thanks for this man much appreciated.
Ok so i'm just wondering if there is a way to go into an existing bootanimation file and add a wav file into the sequence of the description text file. And also where would you put the wav file in the zip file. Also can you do this without using ADB, not a big fan of it(meaning I don't know how to use it) It should just be as easy as throwing the file in the zip file and writing the new description text code to run it properly. Just I don't know how. please help
What ROM are you on? How did you get your current boot animation onto your phone w/o adb?
I used Ava-froyoZ2, and for the bootanimation i downloaded one put it on the root of my sdcard and then using root explorer i moved that file to /system/customize/resources then pasted it in there. So all i need to know is how to put a wav file in the bootanimation zip file and write the description text so it'll execute that file.
It's not a wave file it's mp3. It is also not part of the bootanomation zip, it is its own file. Search the forums for pushboot and use that. You should learn to use adb because from your questions in here you more than likely will boot loop your phone and have to nand restore just to get out of it. I have fixed bootloops with adb many times and I now only keep a solid backup of my rom once every 2 weeks.
Ok, secondly; With that rom or if it even is the rom, it doesn't allow me to put my phone in debugging. I have ADB blah blah blah just i'm not that good with CMD, but it never recognizes my phone due to that fact of the debugging. When I go into the settings I can check it and uncheck it. So I don't know what that problem could be.
I have been trying desperately to get my boot animation to change, and have made some success from just locking the device up to skipping the animation all together.
I can't seem to figure out what people mean when they say to save the desc.txt file as a UNIX file, but have been trying to use UTF-8 in Notepad++. This is what searching google has showed as the prefered *nix text file encoding. I even went so far as to just copy and paste the desc.txt file from one of the other zips on the device to my zip to get it to work, and no joy. So, I am not sure if this is the trouble or not.
This is on a Sprint lovers rom and I have put them in /data/animation. I had them in /system/customize/resource along with another spash screen, but it just ignored it there and went to the /data/animation ones. Or, maybe was using those all along. I am not sure.
So, I shall include my zip for scrutiny, and my audio for scrutiny as well. I have removed most of the images to get the zip down to size limits and stuffed the audio file in the zip as well.
I would like some hints on what I did wrong. I am trying to learn this stuff....
I use a program called Text Pad. It's free just search for it on Google. After creating the file hit "save as" name the file "desc" and at the bottom you will see a drop down menu labeled "file format" and it will give you the option to save as PC, UNIX, MAC. Choose UNIX. The second step is putting it all into a zip folder that isn't compressed. For this I use 7-Zip. Open 7 zip and highlight the desc file and the folders that have your animations. Next click the add button at the top menu, when the next window pops up you will be able to name the zip "bootanimation". Find the drop down menu labeled "compression level" and select "store", next find the drop down menu labeled "update mode" and select add and replace files. Last hit the ok button and your zip will be created and should be usable.
i have been dealing with the same thing all day but i got it to work the problem was that the png has to be no more than 24 bit i downloaded your zip and they are at 32 bit mine would not work at that rate i remade the png at 24 bit and all is well..hope this helps
you may also want to run png through pngoptimizer(google it) make sure you hit enter at the end of desc file then save. sound on system/custosimize/resource should be named SPC_animation_final.mp3 and zipped (storage)with same name (no mp3 should be).zip
see if this works for you
Will it boot?

I have a question about the kindle fires Bootanimation.zip
will the kindle still boot without the Bootanimation.zip or will it just lock up?
is there anyway to turn off the boot animation? I am running a jb rom and would really prefer it if there were no boot animation..

Try deleting sanim and bootanimation zips from /system/media.
im trying to make my own rom trying to try new this out and i was going around taken lil apps tht other roms hads like hulu, mastermind mirror, ect and i dont think i zip it correctly cause when i check the inside of the zip folder the other file is still not zip and i am sure that is a problem right ??? ps im using cwm 3.0 is tht a problem ?
i use this meth...
ok, here it goes.
first, figure out where you want to push your file. i'd reccomend pushing manually in recovery to make sure the file itself works. then, using a tool like 7zip (pc) or betterzip (mac) create a file structure that matches the one on the phone. for example, if you wanted a boot animation to be put in system/customize/resource, make a folder system, customize in that, resource in that, and the bootanimation.zip inside that. now you have the main part. next, make a folder in the root of the zip called META-INF (caps counts) inside that, com, inside that, google, and inside that, android. thats /META-INF/com/google/android/. inside android, you need to place in an update-script. i'd reccomend taking one from another zip and just editing it becasue i still have not figured out a way to make that type of file (unix exec) from scratch. open it up in a .txt editor like notepad++ (pc) or coda (mac) and write your script. here is the baisic script for copying the directory system on the zip to system on the phone (like flashing a boot animation).
copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:
CAPS COUNT AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AN ENTER AT THE END. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE AN ENTER AT THE END (TO MAKE IT TWO LINES INSTEAD OF ONE, LIKE ISSUEING A COMMAND) THEN IT WILL NOT WORK AT ALL ( E:SYNTAX ERROR IN UPDATE-SCRIPT IS THE ERROR YOU WILL GET)
so put this file into the folder android, and zip it. make sure it is in store only, compatibility mode, if you have such options. then, use an auto signer (or just say zip is not signed and make sure to put sig verification off) to sign the zip. flash, and watch your work magically appear.
the update-script i showed is written in amend. i have no idea how to write in edify bcuz it is much more complicated with the binary and stuff. so dont flash with cwm 3.0+.
i only have 1 thing to say first switch to amon ra amon ra is 1000 times better than clockwordmod
how do i switch?? lol also what if i unroot my phone would tht be a problem?

Extracting ROM files from HTC RUU
Official HTC ROM updates are released as RUU (ROM Update Utility), which you run on your (Windows) PC to get the target device updated automatically.
Some of the big brains in the Android community release RUUs re-packaged into signed update files,
which in turn allow for whatever ROM customization you can imagine.
In this how to I will explain how to extract ROM files from a RUU image,
which you can then customize and use to flash your device without the fear of a new bootloader possibly making your device unrootable.
Requirements :
Windows PC,
Microsoft Process Monitor,
File Archiver capable of extracting ZIP files(eg, 7ZIP),
Official HTC RUU for your Android device.
The process of extracting ROM files from a RUU is really straightforward.
The idea behind it is that the self-contained update utility first needs to unpack the update payload into a temporary folder before pushing it onto the device.
This is when we grab the ROM file...
1. download the official RUU
2. start Process Monitor.
3. press CTRL+L
4. change "Architecture" to "Process Name"
5. leave the "is" field as it is
6. in the empty field copy and paste the name of your
RUU file (eg, RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_225512_signed.exe)
7. click "Add"
8. change "Process Name" to "Path"
9. change "is" to "Contains"
10. in the blank field type "rom.zip" (without quotes)
11. click add
Click "OK" to set the filter and then run the RUU file.
Once the utility starts switch back to Process Monitor and look for an entry in the "Path" column that ends with "\rom.zip".
Right click on that line and select "Jump to..."
this will open a Windows Explorer window in the folder which contains the zipped ROM files
Copy the "rom.zip" file to some other folder, outside of the temp RUU folder tree (eg, desktop)
Once copied, close Process Monitor and the RUU utility.
The copied "rom.zip" file contains the following files:
android-info.txt - list of CIDs this RUU will flash to,
boot.img - root file system image,
hboot (followed by a version string) - boot-loader update,
radio.img - radio driver update,
recovery.img - recovery partition image,
splash1_Hero_320x480.nb0 - boot loader splash image,
system_rel.img - system partition image,
userdata.img - data partition image.
You can now, among many other things, root the ROM
and then flash the updated boot.img and all the other image files on to your device using Recovery

rom.zip corrupted
I followed the directions and like another post in here procmon shows a blank screen. I went to task manager and opened processes and saw when it ran then clicked open file location and found it. I did this twice and both zips are corrupt. (used winzip)
error [D:\android apps\EVO root\EVO\rom.zip]: start of central directory not found; Zip file corrupt.
Possible cause: file transfer error
when I close the RUU all the files in that folder disappear so you have to leave the RUU running while you copy the zip file or it's gone.
At least that's what I saw.
update to last post
I found a zip repair tool and was able to repair and extract the 1.10.653.2 RUU rom capture. I will have to try to run it later. If anyone gets corrupted zip error, Zip Repair pro will repair it.
To get the rom zip without any errors just run the ruu.exe file, when the box with a picture of a phone pops up, click start on pc, type in "run" and click on run then in that box that pops up, type in %temp% and click ok. Another window pops up then just scroll down to the most recent folder and rom.zip will be in there, if not it will be in the next folder.
Hi,
when I try to open the rom.zip I get an error message, it just said it cannot open with 7zip and with windows it says its invalid.
I tried downloading the RUU multiple times but still the same error. I rune the RUU as administrator.
Tried copying it over to different locations and then open it.
RUU_ENRC2B_U_JB_45_O2_UK_1.14.206.13_Radio_3.1204.167.31_release_289474_signed
HTC ONE X+
Thank you
Update:
I used Zip Repair Pro.. however there is no boot.img inside the repaired zip -_-
For those which have problem with making Process Monitor detect RUU temp folder, make sure You add whole file name of RUU including .exe at the end.
Jmcclue's steps, work perfectly, Thank you post #7

note path is desktop (last post showed from temp folder) and i still get same results. did some searching and aperantly htc now signs their zip files and they can't be opened anymore. having usb issues that causes fastboot force close errors and need to be able to flash boot.img thru flashify app to return it to stock. ran the htcguru reset rom that uses aroma installer to return to stock that lets me take ota's but i get qualcom location force close and other custom roms give me issues forcing me to reset phone to stock every few days with guru installer. flashing recovery in fastboot is a chore as well. I have s-off and can keep it, but doing fastboot oem lock wont relock the bootloader, even though it shows success in cmd line. i can cid and super cid with fastboot.
it leaves me at a point where i really need to pull everything out of the rom.zip file and it wont open.

pic 3, results from running RUU
i have to reboot device, set comand to reboot bootloader, set command to flash recovery all faster than phone will do all commands to get it to flash, and RUU doesnt work that fast. i know im on sprint with htc one m7, but google search "extract htc zip" "extract rom.zip" both lead to this thread as top result. no other searches will tell me how to open the archive, except one that resulted in "htc signed zips can no longer be opened"
you're more than welcome to give it a go

Did HTC change the way they create the exe? I don't find it, the biggest file is data1.cab file that I can't extract.
I'm trying to extract the stock rom for an ATT HTC One Mini (m4) because RUU keeps crashing on me and won't install. I am also rooted with S-off.
If anybody can help me get the stock m4 rom so I can go back to stock, I would really appreciate it.

No they didn't change it. Some ruu's use a different format requiring the use of a tool called unruu instead of trying to capture the zip file when using the exe (I just learned this today). I've gone ahead and used unruu and the resulting zips have been put in a single tar file. you can download it from here for about 30 days after which ill have to delete the file. also i dont know which zip has what in it.
