getting on my nerves too.. want a nice bluefish over there... have figured it out?

Yep you need to flash a new rom because as far as I know thats the only way it can be changed since its written at the same time as the ROM. Tom's B&Bv3 has just changed mine from the o2 default to the HTC logo, ask him how he did it but I'm pretty sure you need a new ROM with the logo of your choice embedded.
PS: Don't think you can do the log seperately either but I'm sure a more knowledgable person will be along shortly

Totally not going for me.. just upgraded to wm6 and the new activesync... maybe that's the reason?

There was a way I heard of using the RUU and replacing a file with the new image you wanted for splash...
"Perhaps you should look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=12898.
There is a great program on there for converting pictures to .nb files and also a CAB which, when run, will change the boot images.
This does require putting the splash1.nb and splash2.nb files into the /windows/ directory before running MDA3_bootimage_changer2.CAB,
but if you want to just run a CAB file you can just edit that CAB and place your own created splash1.nb and splash2.nb files
in it with the location set as /windows/ (I tried it with WinCE CAB Manager and this way works as well)."

It does depend on the rom, B&B v1 & 2 didn't update my boot screen but v3 did so maybe you've got an old version? Are you actually using the B&B rom at all? Not all rom updates change the boot screen, it depends on the chef if they include em in the first place

B&B? Did i miss something?
Tried two ways:
1: making the splash1 and splash2
2: tried RUU updating the splash, but fails, think it's the new activesync.
Did i mention that i'm trying this on a htc p3300?

Sorry, B&B is Black & Blue. Its the ROM that Tom Codon has been releasing and updating for the P3300\Artemis\Orbit.

Dudes Guys
ZRAYS give you the link on post 14.
Just download the right file depending on the logo you want.
Weblink : http://www.aray.cn/?cat=34
zip files are:
P800-logo-dopod.rar
P800-logo-HTC.rar
P800-logo-HTC-new.rar
P800-logo-O2.rar

P800-logo-T-Mobile.rar
Shall I install it for you then...
Unzip the file go on folder etc... (backup your data, but this upgrade does destroy it) launch ROMUpdateUtility.exe
..wait and smile.

HTC Evo logo on boot

So, I'm attempting to create a custom bootscreen for my EVO, and was trying to find out if anyone knew how to get a copy of the initial "htc EVO" logo with white background that comes up? I've gone through the file system a few times, but haven't managed to find anything in there (and I've read from other phones that it's some strange hidden file that can be changed, but I'm not looking to change it, merely to a copy of it in a readable format to incorporate it into my own bootscreen animation). Is it hard coded into the phone itself somewhere magically? Any help would be great.

I may be wrong but I believe it's built into the bootloader.

Yeah, that makes sense. I managed to find instructions on how to change it here:
source.android.com/porting/customization.html
But that's not necessarily so helpful in getting my hands on the original image.

It's the splash in the Rom.zip I believe. Or like said above it part of the bootloader
Thread moved to general
Edit please move this to evo general. I accidently moved it here. Sorry

Epic
10-char

got a stock evo 2.1 rooted it.. with clockwork installed custom rom and kernel updated to 2.2 everything is okay used romanger to go back between clock work and arom... but still cant get the adb commands to work... actuall just trying to push a spc mp3 file tried replacing with root explorer no go

One thing a lot of us had trouble with going from 2.1 to 2.2 was the su app didn't like being bundled with a rom. Uninstall your su app and install the one from the market.
Let us know if this fixes it.

What is that file used for?
Where is it in the system?
Is that the audio that plays during the boot animation?

yes it does im assuming the stock recovery uses the red exclamation... now i have the yellow one i tried to remount and i get an error.....

so why must we adb on the 2.2 when the 2.1 all you needed was root explorer? to change boot animation and sound.....

The boot animation in 2.2 is a single .zip file. Boot animations are something I haven't gotten into much (on the EVO) so I'm not sure how it was on 2.1 but I'd guess it was more like the Hero where it was a .gif or two and a sound file.
When the boot animation is packaged in a single .zip file you can't just swap out parts of it. You'd have to unzip it, change what you want, and make sure the xml (if there's on in there) is adjusted accordingly. If you swapped the sound file for one that was of the same name you'd probably be fine to rezip and drop the whole zip back in there.
This is pure speculation though. I may be totally wrong. If I were gonna try to customize my boot though that's where I would start.

You can use pushboot found in the development section to change the sound and/or the bootanimation.

Sure. Can you post the mp3 you want to use? If I can get it working I'll just shoot the finished package back to you.

Cool, dl'ing virus rom now so I can see exactly what you're working with.
Are we sure you actually do have su permissions and it was just an issue with this boot animation package?
Can you mount your /system as R/W in root explorer?

Same goes for 2.2. Just swap out the files in /system/customize/resource/ I've also seen them in /system/media/ depending on which rom you're using.

[Q] Installing .zip files in recovery

There are some .zip files that I will install in recovery mode and will confirm installation. When I reboot the phone, the apps or mods that I install will not have installed. I am stock rooted on Galaxy Note 2 on JB. Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks

Need more info.. and re word it a lil..and what mods are u flashing in what sequence?

Ok. Example: Say I take a .zip file that you have made for me and I download it. I boot into recovery mode and find the file and flash it, gives me the message that it has completed but when the phone reboots it's no where to be found. Did it not install or is there a place I need to look on my phone that it might be hidden?

just because its a zip file, doesnt mean it has the install routine baked into it..
As Twansky said, what is the file, and what is it for?

Ok. The files that I've tried would be mods for toggles, keyboards, and different add ons. For the most part, all of the files that I've flashed have worked. The ones that didn't work I'm not disappointed that they didn't, I was just wondering if possibly there was something or somewhere that I needed to look to see if they actually did but needed to activate per say. Could you explain what you mean by "install routine baked in" please. I'm a noob and learning everyday.
Thank you

some of those zip files, were probably just a bunch of individual files, zipped up to save room, and make them just 1 file insted of many..
a "flashable" zip file will have a few folders, one being meta.inf, another being system, along with some others...
post one of those zips that you are having a problem with here, and we will take a look at it..

what ^^^^^^^^^^ Said....g

Wase, let me see if I still have them on my phone. I know a couple that I tried were rom specific but one worked and one didn't. Those are the ones I expected not to work. Give me a minute to see what I still have.

http://db.tt/kXFyYyIJ
This is one that didn't work that is for ROM XXDLL4. Another file that I downloaded is the glass dialer did work. What I guess I'm asking is, why would one work but not the other. I know these were fir that specific rom, I'm just confused on why one would work and not the other.

Sorry, I did not answer that part.
Boot into recovery>Find location where file was downloaded>Click to install>Confirm install>Install confirmed>Reboot.
I have tried wiping cache and not wiping cache.

Open up these "zips" and look inside..

yeah, it was a flashable zip..no idea why it wouldnt work, but, as you said, this is not a mod for our phone specifically, so that might be why..Just like anything else electronic, not every rom/mod/flashable file is going to work on every phone; thats just the way it is...

Exactly... use caution flashing "flashable" zips unless you know for a fact it accomodates your specific device. You need to look in the META-INF folder and review the updater-script. In there you will see specific BLKs (partitions) which are mounted/extracted/written/unmounted. Devices don't all use the exact same "/dev/block/mmcblk0xx" for /system or /data partitions. Some of these scripts are fairly universal but I've seen others which call specific devblock partitions.

Thank you everyone for the help on this. I finally got brave enough about a hour ago and flashed a custom rom fir the first time.
Thanks again for all the help and info.
