the name is MilestoneBootLogo, you can download in Attached Files

Thanks for the guide! I've been using Dedraks' Splash Tools app to change the boot logo (aka splash screen). Are there advantages to using this method instead? Does the Splash Tools app cause problems on CM7?

Splash Tools is not if it causes problems in cm7, but MilestoneBootLogo is very easy to use and works well..

Works perfect! Thanks!

your problem is rare, probably changing the boot logo again can solve the problem

Is there a way you can port this to Mac.
Would love to try it.

HTC Desire Boot Animation [Ubuntu Guide]

Thought I would post as I'm not sure if anyone has tried this yet but I used the nexus 1 bootloader anamation found here and it works perfectly.
So for anyone who wants to do it them selves heres a guide once you have rooted your desire follow these steps.
1. Put the nexus-bios-boot.zip onto your sd card.
2. Load up into ubuntu.
3. Turn off your desire.
4. Turn it on again while holding down the 'volume down' button this time. The screen will look similar to before, but will say 'HBOOT' instead of 'FASTBOOT'. Use the volume buttons and the power button to select the 'RECOVERY' option. You should then see a screen with a red triangle - at this point, plug it into your usb.
5. Now you need to unzip the 'push files' zip that you downloaded.
6. copy pushfiles folder to the desktop
7. open terminal
8. type this into the terminal window
Code:
cd ~/Desktop/pushfiles
9. then type
Code:
sudo ./recovery-linux.sh
10. In the recovery image (moving around using the optical trackball), select 'Flash zip from sdcard' and choose the nexus-bios-boot.zip
11. Confirm then reboot desire.
I would like to point out that none of this is my own work I simply compiled all of the above information from others work to make a simple guide. All credits goto Paul @ MoDaCo for rooting and his guide and I am unsure of who actually made the boot screen. But the link is at the top of the post.
Below are all of the files you will need to get started
and here is a quick vid
nice one, thanks
Installed this too, looks smart!
Dont know if anyone noticed but as its booting it says nexus one lol I have posted in the original thread maybe someone who knows what they are doing will edit it and make one specifically for the desire.
Hi,
Great work!
Would this work for all Boot screens for Android?
Regards
Mo
I'm honestly not sure this is my first android phone. I saw the boot animation thread a few weeks ago an thought as soon as we have root I'm going to try it and to my sunrise it worked. I would guess any existing nexus one animations would work on the desire fine but I an not 100% sure. If you find any others I would be happy to try them and post my results.

I quite like the Open Eclair boot animation. The one with the logo exploding into a million androids that fly at the screen.

as you can restore the original boot?
Thanks
I have not tried but as the boot animation is loaded onto the rom I would guess if you restored an original rom I would set it back to "how it was ment to be". I am jus grabbing the files I need now and will test a few more out and post my results + vids.

I have just tried all three and get the same message saying... E: No signiture E: Verification failed
I also tried another from the original thread I linked to the nexus-boot-apple 1 and it worked fine. Possible they need signing properly and then they would work but dont really know enough about android phones atm to really sepectualte.
Edit: Just been told that the files you linked to do not get flashed but you push them over via adb.
bootanimation.zip
Just a wierd question.
I tried to create a bunch of png files to create an animation.
Numbered from 00001 to 00009
I placed those in a folder named android.
Edited the desc.txt file to:
480 800 1
p 1 1 android
Zipped this to bootanimation.zip and placed this zip file in /data/local
When rebooting the phone i get a nice black screen.
Now what am i doing wrong in this progress?
Greetings from a vastloper
You need to re-sign the package. To do that just zip up the 'data' and 'META-INF' directories then use the following guide to sign it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3175518&postcount=2
i signed it also.
Didnt work either.
Do i need to change the meta.inf file ?
Thanks for the reply
It shouldn't be a file called meta.inf, it should be a directory named META-INF.
If you use nexus-bios-boot.zip as an example (from Post #1) then in the META-INF directory should be a few signature files:
CERT.RSA
CERT.SF
MANIFEST.MF
(delete these - they will be recreated when you sign the file)
and subdirectories com -> google -> android containing the update-script
(which can be left alone)
Do you have the update-script in the correct place? Zip it all up, sign and apply. Any change?
Might be a problem with bootanimation.zip actually.
http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-droid/25774-custom-boot-animation-figured-out.html
I think the folder with the .pngs needs to be called part0 and part1:
"the folder part 0 is the part that does not loop. part 1 will loop after part 0 plays and while phone is still loading."
Final tidbit...
You could always just use adb to push the bootanimation.zip to the correct place.
No need to worry about signing or update-script! Of course you have to do this from recovery mode after mounting the system, so the full code you would run:
Code:
adb shell mount /system
followed by:
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/

Heres how you load it to your phone...
download this to your computer and unpack and install...Android SDK | Android Developers this is ABD (http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html)
Once thats downloaded...
plug your phone in to your pc using the usb cable.
on your phone
go to your settings
go to applications
development
check the usb debugging box (it must have the green check in the box)
then swipe down the notification bar
click on the usb connected
click on mount
on your pc
download the zip on in this post...decepticon.zip
open the abd and go to the tools folder.
rename the zip to bootanimation.zip
copy the and paste the zip into your tools folder in the abd
click on start
run
then type cmd in in the box ( this will bring up a black box)
now this is where some people get lost....
Where ever you saved your ABD is its location... when ABD tools folder is open look at the the browser window and copy it. that is its location remember it make a cheat sheet of it cause if you messed p a step you can just refer back to it instead of hunting all over your computer for it.
example mine is C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Downloads\android-sdk-windows\tools
In the black bock type cd then the location of your tools folder..
example...cd C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Downloads\android-sdk-windows\tools...
Then hit enter
then type..
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
it may take a second, then it will show in the black box that it had downloaded x amount in x amount of sec.
Then you can unmount your phone
Turn off your phone
then restart it...
enjoy your new animation
If I missed a step or you have a issue let me know...I am by means no expert nor do I code or anything like that. I learned how to do it from another forum just like all of you, and got lost in the process. But this is the easiest way to do it, and much easier that the way I learned

Adb push /your source directory/bootanimation.zip \system\media\bootanimation.zip.
I may have my back slashes backwards but the is the genreal command.
Also I am in the middel of creating the opening screen from the g1 cartoon of tf into a bootani. But it seems to fast. I will post and maybe someone else can do something with it.

give me a day or two. i have a better version coming. i found a program that will rip the png's for me.
dude i dont understand how to install it!! -_____- there should be a videooo
Can't you just use root explorer to copy and paste it instead of adb?

[Guide][zip][Root needed] Unsimlock your Defy (v1.3)[NEW:JB support!]

This is a software unlock for the Motorola Defy​
NEW: Jelly Bean roms and ICS roms work!
See the troubleshooting post (post N°2) if you have problems!
Last update: 06/06/2012 ->Troubleshooting section updated (see post 2)
Disclaimer: This manipulation is not risk free. Niether I nor XDA Developpers can be held responsible for damage made upon your phone. Thus, don’t worry we're doing good work and you'll do a backup
Root is needed!
Credits go to yakk from motofan.ru / Special thanks to Labsin for his involvement and help​
Note: Not all Baseband versions work with this hack, to know if it will work for you, go to settings-> system info and check if baseband version is "EPU93_U_00.59.01". If it is not indicated there, then try installing defybaseband switcher and look at info in the app
If your baseband version is different, you can try to change it to the one that works (nandroid backup first ) by downloading Baseband_change(EPU93_U_00.59.01).zip, and putting it in /sdcard/, and flashing it via recovery.​
Flashing a zip has never been easier
Thanks to labsin, there's an easy flashable.zip that will:
Backup your original two files and put them in the folder "simlock_original_files" on your SD card (safety first )
Apply a modification to init.mapphone_umts.rc
Copy the fixed bp_ptc file
Go into recovery, flash Softunlock_defy_v1.1.zip that fits your baseband version and you're done!
​
!!YOU MUST REBOOT ONCE AFTER THE OPERATION BEFORE CHANGING SIMS!!​
Voila!
Don't forget to reboot phone once!
Only then you can test by rebooting with another simcard
Hit thanks button if i helped you!
Any problems? I'm here to help
Changelog​
v1.3:
ICS ROMs are now fully supported!
v1.2:
zip will check if the line to be added already exists, so it doesn't get added more than once
v1.1:
automated zip that will add a line in mapphone_umts and copy fixed pt_ptc in system
Troubleshooting​
I have no signal when i put another simcard in my Defy
Have you rebooted at least once BEFORE changing sim cards??​Try using Defybaseband switcher to select the correct frequencies for your carrier​Try method below​
You are still asked the unlock code
- Turn on Airplane Mode
- Run Terminal emulator and type "su" and then "bp_ptc"
- Turn ofr Airplane Mode​
Airplane mode won't turn off
Flash the baseband(EPU.0.59..) file in the first post, then play around with your APNs and network settings untill you fix it (see post 308)​
You are having trouble unlocking a stock ROM
See Post 260​
Proof of success​
jorgeoro said:
Holy mother of Jesus, I could unsimlock my defy+ (plus) . Here is what i did (i think some steps could be ignored but is good to know the entire procedure i've done)
1) Because of a failed CM7 flash, first I flashed a 2.3.5 SBF
2) Flashed quarkx 26-feb nightly for defy+ (baseband EPU93_U_00.60.00)
3) Changed to a proper baseband with defy-baseband-switcher v4.0
3) Changed to baseband EPU_U_00.59.01 following steps mentioned in 1st page
4) Flashed softunlock 1.2 for EPU_U_00.59.01
5) Rebooted (still no sim change till this step)
6) Power off the phone and changed SIM
7) Rebooted
8) Almost had an orgasm
I'll be posting links i used later if somebody ask for them
Thanks to all people directly and indirectly involved (very special thanks to crakeron for his help)

I admit: I haven't tried this yet, but I did noticed that the OP says to replace init.mapphone_umts.rc to: /system/bootmenu/2nd-init/ and that your patch copies it to: /system/bootmenu/2nd-boot/ folder...
I'm could be wrong on this, but I believe that most people use 2nd-init boot by default (I've only used 2nd-boot while having ICS as dual boot before). But again; I'm just guessing here and could be totally wrong and it might make no difference...
Cheers, and btw, thanks for teaching me how to backup files [with a zip patch]

Hello, the file /system/bootmenu/2nd-init/init.mapphone_umts.rc provided did not work for me. It did not detect any SIM card.
So I edited the original file to defy me and I added the line "service bp-ptc /system/bin/bp_ptc" around line 194 (This can change depending on your file) after the line "user root" in the section "# Adb over Network"
After the copy on my smartphone with correct permissions, it worked.

Heyy.. I never download any APK's..! It's just that I have a really slow internet connection (I don't even have it in my PC, I use USB Tethering for all I do on the internet.) So, I can't afford to download the same apps again and again.. why to waste so much of my data by downloading every app again when changing ROMs? So, I download games and everything from the Play Store and make a backup of them in the form of APKs..

For people experiencing installing difficulties.
Add double quotes to the file names since sometimes there is a space between file names which causes problems parsing the name in adb install command.
Otherwise very good tutorial.

[Q] Gnex stucks on Nexus logo

Hello guys, I need your help with the Gnex.
My friend gave me the phone hoping that I can do something. It stucks on nexus logo while booting. USB debugging is turned off, cwm or twrp is not installed. All I can is to enter Android system recovery with the following options: apply update from adb; apply update from usb drive; wipe data factory reset; wipe cache partition.
I've tried wiping cache partition but is doesn't help. Please advice whether wiping data/factory reset will delete the data from internal SD card - I am afraid to lose the photos.
Please advice what should I do to extract data (photos) in my situation?
Thanks in advance to everyone.
Sync???

I don't think that anything can help you except that tool because as you are saying that USB debugging is not enabled

before using device too much, quick go to galaxy nexus general section here, and find thread "internal data recovery, yes we can"
you might be able to recover deleted photos.
the way it works when you delete things, is it just tells os that the space isnt being used, so the actual data might still be there and some may still be recoverable.
it is quite a process though. good luck

You should install a recovery fast as it will help you in future

Thanks a lot for your suggestion. I'm trying to recover. By the way, do you know what does the phrase from the recover guide "ADB (make sure adb.exe is in your path)" mean? Which path?

The directory from which you are using adb command
As an example if I am using cmd and typing this command then it should be like
E:/>adb fastboot *********
Then my adb file must be in E drive

Thank you for your help. I've followed to step 6, but unfortunalely, RAW file is 0 b after creation. I've tried different numbers in this name mmcblk0p12.raw - but with no effect.. Tried to reinstall cygwin, used NetCat file insted of NC - all the same.
Maybe anyone faced this problem with 0 b size of the RAW file? Maybe it's because I have less than 15 Gb of free space on my disk C?
Would be grateful for your advices.

I'd like to try explaining this a little better. Basically when using a program from the command prompt in any OS the OS needs to know where the program is (this is not just for command prompt, but I digress). There are a few ways of telling the OS where the program you want to use is located.
For example, lets say you have ADB in the folder "android_stuff" on your E drive.
Option 1: Change Directory to the folder, IE: "cd android_stuff"
Option 2: Provide the "full path name" of the program, "e:\android_stuff\adb"
Option 3: Add the folder location to the system "path"
Options 1 and 2 are fairly easy and straightforward, whereas Option 3 can be done in a few ways.
My suggestion is to go with Option 1, its the easiest and all you would have to do is put all of the files you will be using into a single folder.
