So,
since I finally decided that I don't want to look at the LG Splashscreen on my D855 anymore, I thought:
Let's change it !
However...
I'm not sure if thats possible.
Will this work ?
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=866474
It says it requires:
- terminal access thru pc
- fastboot
- an image file 480x800 px (converted from a 256 color bmp)
Has anyone tried this and successfully changed their Splash Screen ?
/
Is there another way to do this ?
Its built in kernal deep or deeper weve done been throught this one believe its stored in the aboot partition

Hey all,
Just made a splash image that I think you guys might appreciate. My friend showed me the picture and I decided to do the necessary changes to make it into a splash.
For your viewing pleasure
To flash: Download the zip then with an unlocked (S-OFF) bootloader, flash the new_splash.img file to your phone:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash splash1 new_splash.img
fastboot reboot
i would rather have it as a background
my boot image shows 1 micro second. not worth even thinking about changing it.
Well the png is there too so u can use it as a background I guess

Some kind of bloody :-D but looks great, although I'm running a MacBook bit I also love my Android mobile.
Does it work to flash this lb other Android systems like 2. 1/ 2. 2k any experiences?
Thx guys
sent from my DEFY using XDA App
This is just a splash image file so as long as your screen size is 480 x 800. You can search for how to change the splash image for your particular phone and then just use this file. I'm sure it will work on any version of android
Anyone have the adb commands handy for pulling the stock splash image just in case I want to put it back?
This is a copy of the original splash that I found in another thread.
did that last attachment post?
lets try that again. this is the default splash.

Even though the original splash is posted, the commands to pull the old one are to be executed from a root shell and are as follows:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19 of=/mnt/sdcard/splash.img
You may have to do a search for it because when I pulled mine it put it into a random folder on my computer
Finally we have S-OFF - which is said to allow us to finally change the annoying HTC Splashscreen???
Now could someone in the know explain how its done? Are we talking ADB Push + Pull? or some other way? A Guide would be great - as well as exact Requirements - I figure it should be 240x320 - but is it a GIF / BMP / TIFF / JPG - can it be a moving Gif..? Please help a guy who's tired to death of the HTC logo on white background.
As far as i know, the HTC splashscreen (not the bootanimation.zip) rely in the bootloader. If you want to change the first splashscreen, you need to decompile or something to change the splashscreen deep inside the bootloader.
correct me of im wrong.
fastboot flash splash1 insert_splash_name_here.img
from command under your sdk folder with .img inserted
pretty easy
example ?
http://alpharev.nl/
dload the alpharev Qvga splash and flash that
end up with this

Hello there! I am re-posting this from the Mytouch 3G thread which can be seen here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6507176#post6507176
I have made some slight modifications in order to make this work on the HTC G2 (vision).
This is a HTC G2 tool to easily convert images in splash screen ones.
This tool is based upon ffmpeg and you need it installed on your system before proceeding (it will prompt you about the program missing in any case)
REQUIREMENTS
ffmpeg installed on your system
Code:
$ sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
a 480x800 image
a 480x800 device (i.e. HTC G2) with engineering SPL (s-off)
USAGE
Code:
./ElegosSplashCreator.txt --help or -h
Prints out how to use the script
Make sure that the script and image you are converting are both in the same directory that you are in in the command line (Terminal)
Code:
./ElegosSplashCreator.txt your_image_file
Converts your image into a flashable splash screen, if you want the script will continue flashing the file directly.
I ASSUME NO RESPONSABILITY ABOUT THE USAGE OF THIS SCRIPT. USE IT "AS IS", LOOK AT THE OUTPUTS AND YOU'LL AVOID BRICKS!
Please, if you wish to redistribute this script, give the right credits and don't change the prog_header please (maybe link this discussion in a text file)!
Make ElegosSplashCreator.txt executable permissions (right click on file and go to Properties > Permissions, then make executable) and use it!
Here's mine, feel free to post your own folks
Flash these Splash Screens at your own risk. It is not my fault if you have a faulty usb cable or computer, or accidently unplug your phone while flashing! But the chance of a soft brick is very small
Fastboot images to flash in fastboot:
Here is a .zip attached below with all these splash screens ready to flash in fastboot with pics that match the names of each image to flash
How to flash: fastboot flash splash1 name.raw565
Thanks mate! I used your thread a long way back and rewrote the script (for my personal use only, didn't put it up) to work with the g2, but I lost that way back when
This will come in handy, I need a new splash screen

No worries, I just uploaded the flashable splash screens they are the same same size as my device. I also attacked the script to the main post.
There is an app called bootflash pro in the market that will flash and jpg as your splash. I'd recommend that you have the pics at 480x800.
Works for me all the time.

This is not a app this is a linux script but thanks for the tip. The splash screens I already posted are 480x800 and the script is already set to convert any images (not just jpg) to splash screens 480x800. It's not recommended to have them as 480x800 but it's a requirement! If you don't have them set to the right size the script will not convert the images because it could brick your phone flashing a wrong size image.

logo.jpg draw failed
Thanks for the tutorial! I'm pretty sure I'm the one doing something wrong but I can't figure out what.
I was able to flash the param file, both the cwm way and through odin which resulted in "logo.jpg draw fail.." so that part works, but adding my image doesn't work. I've tried several different images, including yours and changed the permissions accordingly but it just doesn't seem to take it. It boots fine though. I've done this before, about a year ago and it worked fine then so I'm wondering if it has to do with my partitioning or that I've updated to marshmallow recently (the battery charging animation changed after upgrade, did something else change too perhaps? Does this tutorial not work any more after update?)
Anyway, if you have any tips, I'd appreciate it.
is this applicable to Marshmallow (CM13)?
@alexbokor40, same issue with @luvis, after flashing the zip, able to get the "logo.jpg fail" but after copying the logo.jpg to the .lfs folder, set the right permissions and reboot, nothing happens. i'm on CM13 official and also has custom pit. I also notice when i open the .lfs folder in root explorer, i can't see the other files inside of it. last time when i was on 4.1.2, i able to see the other files.
any tips will be highly appreciated mate.
It is called bootlogo
It doesn't work on android 7.0 nougat. I didn't find nay file at /mnt/.lfs/
And i didn't get the green message "logo.jpg draw fail" after flashing via twrp 3.0.2
Do you have another method?
is there a way to do that through build.prop? has anyone tried? the param.ls way here seems to fail. in my s2 with cm 13 the bootlogo is not removed, flashing with odin.
Creating custom splash.img for Wileyfox Swift:
Note:
This is not bootanimation, this is the splash screen (the 'Wileyfox' logo which is displayed when device is switched ON)
This is for Wileyfox Swift only..
For other devices, please send me your splash.img so that I can create a tool for you too.
Before proceeding, make sure fastboot is setup properly in your computer (just incase something goes wrong)..
STEPS:
1. Make sure you have a picture for your custom splash with:
i. Resolution: 720x1280
ii. PNG or JPG format
iii. picture size less than 200kB
iv. less colorful
(Tip: Try compressPNG.com to reduce no. of colors in PNG picture.
Upload your picture, click Settings, reduce number of colors to 16 or below & download it)
2. Download this tool to your computer: CM_Splash_Maker.zip
And extract it.
3. Drag & drop your splash picture on the file "CREATE_Logo.bat" & select your device.
4. After the custom splash image (filename.img) is created, the output directory will be opened..
5. Transfer the filename.img to the device's internal storage & flash it using Terminal Emulator like:
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/filename.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/splash
(Or you can flash it from fastboot as given below)
Note:
Incase you flashed & your device doesn't bootup, don't worry
Just flash the original splash.img from fastboot like:
Code:
fastboot flash splash splash.img
Credits:
1. Based on my original tool for Yu devices here..
2. @GokulNC (myself ) who created this tool..
3. @beroid (who provided the stock splash.img & tested this).
Hit the Thanks :good: button if it worked for you
Don't forget to share the custom splash screens that you made, since others may find it useful
Hello, thank you very much for these useful guide.
To create my splash screen I had to run your scripts inside a virtualbox running windows as I'm a linux user.
But it was'nt a good solution to run only two .bat files.
So I decided to write bash scripts that should be compatible with almost every *NIX systems.
You should have ffmpeg installed on your computer. If this is not the case, install it with your favourite package manager.
Download my archive at the end of this post and extract it
If you are in trouble running CM_SPLASH_RGB24_converter, just go to bin/ directory, then
Code:
gcc CM_SPLASH_RGB24_converter.c -o CM_SPLASH_RGB24_converter
Then to create your splash screen just run
Code:
./CREATE_Logo.sh filename.png
where filename.png is the logo you want to add to your splash screen
The splash.img created is located in the output/ directory
Similarly to extract your splash screen into a png picture
Code:
EXTRACT_Logo.sh splash.img
The picture extracted is located in output/extracted_logo/
Are there any custom Splashscreens around ?
perfectly functioning on wileyfox swift bro.. thanks a lot
good day bro GokuINC.
can you also make a splash maker for android one seed which have the same/similar functions of this cm splash maker tool? so fastboot logo can be also changed? thank you very much for this.. i've been using it since it was posted.
dont work on lineage os
Thank you for this tool and the adjustments for the Wileyfox Swift.:good:
In my case, the dump of the "splash" partition was about 10 MB large, while the actually used part is about 210 KB, so I guess the image is already large enough for more complex images, too. At least in my case it was no problem.

For me it works, with the recent LineageOS 16.0 and using the more recent version on GitHub.

Keeping the stock fastboot/battery images (which are slightly different to the versions in the ZIP/on GitHub!), I modified the logo and moved the Wileyfox logo to the top and added the NSA monitored device logo in the center.
It just seems that it is not possible to add attachments being a new user...
Wow, glad something like this exists!
Does this work with newer variants of the WileyFox Swift line of phones?
I am specifically interested in changing the splash screen on my Swift 2X.
I'll be happy to provide a dump of my current splash if need be, when I figure that out.
