weeks ago someone post a splash screen that was a at&t logo looking like star wars death star. I search but found nothing if somebody can help me will be appreciated
I couldn't find one either, so I just slapped this one together...
thanks great splash screen
That would be a cool startup screen - if you make it I sure would like to have it.
Right on, thanks. Glad you guys like it.
Yeah, I'd like to make that my startup screen too... =P
I made it and then realized I didn't know how to change the splash screen. Ahh well. I'm sure the instructions are on the board somewhere!
In the mean time, I decided to make a background based on this graphic...
It actually works out pretty well with the black theme and HTC Home.
Nice Graphic, Here's it converted into a usable splash screen. It needs to be 320x320 24bit PNG file. Unzip it and copy it into your phone's windows folder.
You may need to use something like resco file explorer to change the original splash graphic (welcomehead96.png) to remove the read-only attribute so you can copy the new one in.
Have fun.
P.S. This is the "2nd" splash screen and comes up after the ROM splash.
Here's an updated version with the starfield background...

Oops... Just saw your post.
Hmmm.. Not sure I can do that with paint.NET, which is all I have installed on this box at the moment. It looks like it can save PNG files, but I have no idea if that's 24bit or what.
Here you go..
could you be talking about this one???

Hello, is it possible to implement "HTC quietly brilliant" to the standard HTC bootscreen ?
Are the standard bootscreen connected together? (I mean HERO + HTC animations ) or two GIF's side by side?

I'll try to do it alone

they are two single gifs. look in /system/media/bootscreen.
Would be really good if we can apply this, its a really nice bootscreen im bored of the Hero one
i don't think you can use it as a splashscreen. the splashscreen is the very first screen to appear, usually your operator's logo (or the operator who sold the phone, i.e. t-mobile for me). this is a static picture, and can be updated since paul released the hacked spl.
the bootscreen is by default the two androids popping up behind the "hero", and then the sparkling htc logo. this can be replaced. give me two minutes, i'll make you an update.zip...
edit: no luck, the gif somehow doesn't work as a bootscreen. if you could find it in / change it to 320x480 it might work though.
Thanks for having ago, i really dunno where to start with all of this, have you tried changin the size? i dont have a carrier animation as i have MoDaCos rom.

hm, you don't get it. the carrier logo is not animated. it is shown for 40-45 seconds as the first picture when the phone is started. maybe it is the htc's stock picture, the hero writing. it just sits there, then quickly fades out and back in, and then the little androids come out. the moment where it fades is when the splashscreen is changed to the bootscreen. in this case they are just the same picture, except the bootscreen being animated.
the splashscreen can only be a static image.
the bootscreen can be up (or more?) three animated gifs, fullscreen or cropped with another (probably static, didn't test animated) gif for the background. you can loop the last image or just let it sit at the last frame. look into /system/media/bootscreen, and check the contents of the boot_animation.xml, it is pretty self-explainatory.

have a look into the stock_bootscreen_nosound.zip, it is the original stock htc bootscreen (not splashscreen!). the bootscreen can be applied via update.zip or adb push, the splashscreen must be written in fastboot mode as it is kind of a "low-level" image presentation. this is also the reason why the image must be rgb565-coded before flashing. on modaco there is a howto for the splashscreen, which needs the modified hboot (also called spl) for the hero just released by paul.
this should do it, hope this helps
edit: i tried changing the size, but somehow the gif looks wired when i open it with gimp, it seems to destroy all the animation timing... should be possible though.
Thanks for explaining all that, GIFs are tricky but very effective, i dont really have time to look into all that u described, but thanks for having a go. I just hope someone that may have more experience with the hero may do it. I dont know where to find a file explorer for the hero on windows.
Thanks
Here ya go. But for some odd reason, it doesn't show up correctly. Dunno why. I just made it into an animated gif with the right size.
tristan it works what you made?
Not exactly. It works fine on the pc, but when put on the phone it flickers. I don't have the knowhow to get it to work, but I thought that if I uploaded the gif, soeone with the wits could fix it.
I am having the same issue, tristan202. I edited and moved the tattoo boot animation ( HERE ) but when flashed to the phone, it gets garbled and looks weird.
I made the animation in Flash CS4.
Anybody know the solution to this?
i wanna usee it hoepfully somebody can make it work
can't delete bootlogo :[
when making the nexus bootscreen i found out that the gif needs to be 255 color indexed mode. 128 colors won't work, for example. what seems to work is to use rgb files, throw them together in gimp, and let it do the indexing automatically when exporting. source material needs to be rgb (at least the first image), otherwise the result will be using the palette of the first image, which will make the rest of the frames look like crap.
I have no idea where to find custom splash screens for my cappy, I was wondering if there was one for the firefly rom that has the android guy messing with actual fireflies or something.
Wish I knew how to create something like that!
If anyone can help i would be willing to pay for it
You mean boot animation.
no I have a new boot animation, I meant like to replace the AT&T screen.

Well that screen is a static jpeg. Follow video directions to replace with an image of your choice:

Not sure what prompted me to spend a day making this and, if it's not painfully obvious, I relied on PowerPoint and Paint for most of this. Since it's finished, though, I decided to share. Hope someone enjoys rocking it on their TB as much as I do.
Also, added a .gif of the sequence down below. Timing is off and quality is poor in the .gif, but the bootanimation.zip contains all .png's. The .gif is of the White version. My OCD noticed a little ring of light color around the Droid in the Black version, so I went back in with Gimp and made a White version and am uploading both.
Note: I didn't add a sound for it. I prefer to not have a boot sound, but if someone finds/mixes one appropriate, I'm game to try it.

*scratching head....
Where is the gif? Only see a jpeg.
I'm porting a bootscreen and just needed to set the right resolution on the pics. The bootscreen worked at first but didn't fill the screen, so I decided to port one I liked to the D3. But after changing res of pics and the config file, it doesn't work. I just get a black screen until the phone finishes booting.
Where did I go wrong?
I was also hoping to give the android an android green color instead of grey, but wanted to make sure this worked first (which it didn't).
