Hi guys, i dislike that COMMUNITY CUSTOMIZED graphics and other branded logos like T-Mobile one ... so i made for you splash screens from original CROSSBOW logo.
I dont know if there is this made by any other, so if its not new i appologize
So use as you wish, i like this logo so much and i got it for every stage of my Wizard G4 CID LOCKED booting
YES, YOU CAN SAFELY FLASH THIS TO YOUR PHONE WITH sSPL (link below)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329147
AND IT WILL CHANGE YOUR SPLASH ONLY SO DO IT EVEN IF YOU HAVE FLASHED OS, IT WILL MAKE NO CHANGE TO OTHER PARTS OF FLASH (FORMATTING IS NOT NECCESSARY, BUT RECOMENDED)
ENJOY and drop a line if you like it..

hi there, its been a while since i have posted here properly,
i just upgraded to the new wizard ported rom, i must say that i love it, and yes, its fast as hell and as stable as a steel beam, but there is just one thing that puzzles me and id like it if someone could explain this to me.
i understand that with the first wm5.0 that xda developers produced we was unable to change the boot screen as there was no Ext rom. ( i think anyway, if that waswnt the reason, please correct me.
i know there still isnt a Ext rom on this new V2 of wizard ported rom, but does it mean that the rom was taken from the wizard device and placed onto the Blue angel??
i would have thought that even the wizard rom would have had a bootscreen that would have been ported with the rom.
do i have the right point???, or have i got totally the wrong idea all together??
cheers!! 8)
wizard2ba v2a ROM has extended ROM, it is hidden. You may use old tools to unhide it (it is not necessary to unlock it, it is already unlocked).
Unfortunately the boot logo is kept in a different place in WM5 than in WM2003, and I cannot find where it is. One of my old test ROMs displayed garbage dots over the colored lines, but I was unable to find where are they coming from. So I know that it is possible to change boot logo, but we just don't know how to do that.
ooooooh , ok sir mamiach, lol
in that case to find it, what would you need to look for and how did you find it in 2003?
you are a genius mamiach.
Could anyone be so kind as to release a tool to flash.overwrite the default splashscreen (in flash) and the splashscreen (in ROM)
There's two screens following eachother, first one can be a animated one I believe.
It would be great to have such a tool, get the most beautiful
boot up movies done....
Anyone else who would like such a tool ?
Up....
Maybe is the same procedure for the Kaiser... Who knows
up please...
Advanced Config provides a menu for changing the splash screen. However I never tried it, but I think it is supposed to work just fine.
mhhhh.... maybe the start-up animation, not the very first boot screen which need to be flashed with the CusomRUU
Solved

Here's my minor contribution to this community. I got sick of all of the noisy, filter-laden splash screens I saw around here (no offense to the other splash screen makers ) so I made a few of my own.
I've replaced the operator boot screen with an HTC logo on a white background and the Windows Mobile splash screen with white on black text (added a subtle gradient and cutout to add depth).
There is information on how to load these all over these forums and I'll add more detailed instructions later but, for now, here are the files for those who know what they're doing.
Also, be sure to note that the operator boot nbh (located in the zip file) is for RAPHAEL ONLY!!
EDIT: I've only been able to test this on my Fuze but there is no reason why the welcome splash screen wouldn't work on any other VGA device and the boot splash screen on any other Raphael variant.
i love the simplicity of the white one.
evidently im retarded because i cannot seem to flash a new splash screen. i unzipped your file to the root directory of the SD card, renamed it to RAPHIMG.nbh, entered the boot loader, still stuck with NATF's splash
Yep, same here...there must be something I am missing. I have flashed about 7 roms now, and I am still stuck with rcelite's raphimg. Pretty annoying, considering I have flashed 3 or 4 times since that rom. It doesn't seem to want to go away. When I get to the bootloader screen, it very very quickly flashes a message..."No image found". I have tried several as well, all the same. I have used a new sd card, empty, newly formatted etc etc. Anyone have this or have any ideas? I am using a TPro unlocked gsm with Sheps Dusk rom. The most stable and glitch-free rom I have tried so far.
Really hate that rcelite image now
Hi, ive tryed using the stock bootscreen update.zip, and it installs but it still doesnt get rid of the orange logo..
ive had a look in the system/media/bootscreen folder and its not got the orange logo in it...but then i found in the system/media folder that there is bootscreen files :
boot_bg.gif
boot.gif
boot2.gif
Orange.gif
boot.mp3
boot_animation.xml
so im guessing my hero isnt using the system/media/bootscreen folder for the bootscreen..and orange has changed it to just system/media..
so anyways what im looking for is someone with the knowledge of signing update.gifs to create one for me using the system/media folder instead of the system/media/bootscreen folder
or even help on how to make it myself?
thanks
Andrew
Sounds like you'll need to flash the SPL as that's where that logo is stored IIRC.
See http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-hero-hero-modaco-com/296389/24-nov-unlocked-spl-for-gsm-hero/ for GSM HERO ONLY!!
Be careful, as this can brick your phone if not done correctly...
you're talking about the splashscreen, not the bootscreen. as stated the splashscreen can only be changed through the hacked spl.

ok so what your saying is that orange has disabled the bootscreen. and only the splashscreen is shown. so no matter what bootscreen updates i do they wont work untill the splashscreen is changed?
i just dont know why they would use the same files one folder above the correct location.
Not quite. They are 2 separate things.
I've got a T-Mobile G2 (Hero branded by T-Mobile). I get a T-Mobile splash screen, then an HTC bootscreen (with the little 'android guys' popping their heads up). I could remove the T-Mobile one by flashing the SPL, and I can change the HTC one using those bootscreen files you mentioned.

Well the orange branded one i have is different from your t-mobile one.. because as ive stated in the 1st post
i have tryed changing the bootscreen to something else just tryed ( Nexus One/ showthread.php?t=605188) and it doesnt change at all it just stays with the orange logo then hero then htc.
So on my Orange Hero they must have changed the bootscreen directory to just system/media/ and NOT system/media/bootscreen.
in my system/media/bootscreen/boot_animation.xml is
Code:
<BootConfiguration>
<BootAnimation
image="/system/media/bootscreen/boot1.gif"
image2="/system/media/bootscreen/boot2.gif"
loopimage="/system/media/bootscreen/boot2.gif"
image_bg="/system/media/bootscreen/boot_bg.gif"
audio="/system/media/bootscreen/boot.mp3"
screenX="0"
screenY="90"
useAudio="0"
/>
</BootConfiguration>
which is correct after installing the Nexus bootscreen update i also checked the images they are correct too.
but in the system/media/boot_animation.xml is
Code:
<BootConfiguration>
<BootAnimation
image="/system/media/Orange.gif"
image2="/system/media/boot_bg.gif"
image3="/system/media/boot.gif"
loopimage="/system/media/boot2.gif"
image_bg="/system/media/boot_bg.gif"
audio="/system/media/boot.mp3"
screenX="10"
screenY="180"
useAudio="1"
/>
</BootConfiguration>
as you can see this is the one thats still active because its still got the Orange.gif
... is there anyway that i could make the bootscreen update.zip use that folder instead.. so i can change that boot_animation.xml..
strange first orange hero to have a splashscreen, orange only implimented a bootscreen, this is the first I've heard of an orange splashscreen, when did you buy your phone?
I too have a UK Orange phone with the latest Orange ROM and I have never seen an Orange splashscreen - it is all HTC and android. Have you got the latest official Orange ROM from the HTC site?
i bought it ... last summer july or august i think.. its still got the original rom from its release 1.5 with build 1.76.61.3 146733 CL#46012 Release Keys.
it must be one of the 1st ones because i managed to unlock it with the code.. my friend has a hero from the same shop a month or two later and it wont unlock.
Try flashing the latest Orange Rom, which can be dowloaded from HTC's website here. It is version 2.73.61.5. HTC provide full instructions and it won't affect your warranty.
That is the ROM I have and, as I say, it has no Orange branding as far as i can see, other than a few bookmarks on the browser. But it is difficult to unlock - but that should not be a problem to you I guess as yours in now unlocked.
ok just an update.. i have managed to remove the orange bootscreen... Which WAS a bootscreen NOT a Splashscreen that someone with G2 said it was.. Orange must not be as smart with andriod unlike t-mobile.
and i never used the Hacked SPL
Heres how i did it.. using the system recovery (cyanogen mod v1.4+JF) i installed and update.zip version of the Stock HTC Generic 2.73.405.66 Rooted ROM from (android.modaco.com/content/htc-hero-hero-modaco-com/291942/22-jan-stock-roms-radios-in-update-zip-format-for-gsm-hero/)
after this finished ive got a HTC Hero from orange without the branding and also updated a bit...
hope this helps
does anyone have a copy of the initial splash screen by HTC (The first one when u switch your device on) if you do could you upload it for me please
It's on the forum, please search.
Search ins't pulling up anything for the original... even though I know it's here somewhere... just need to remember what thread it was in. If I find it I'll post the link as I need a copy too
Original Bootscreen
Well i just pulled the files for you...
In the .zip u will find the relevant files (originals), you can push them to the media\bootscreen
Hope you find it useful
Good Morning.
that's not the splash screen, it's just the boot screen.. There's a big difference .
Splash Screen = first Bootscreen
Boot Screen = second Bootscreen
the splash screen has the format *.rgb555 or something like that...
________________________
back 2 topic, does anyone have got the original htc hero splashscreen? . thanks.
Default splash attached in png & zipped rgb565 formats. Do note however the latter won't be bitwise identical to the default splash, as I couldn't rip it directly (that needs a custom kernel mod). Appearance wise it is very close; iirc, it's an edit of one of the frames from the default boot animation.
Looks legit, cauli.
I have to say, the Hero splash logo has to the best stock one of them all. I am still satisfied with it to this day. No carrier or manufacturer (or ROM chef!) branding. Just a cool name, in a cool font.
Boom.
Howdy guys,
Im interested in also getting these screens but kinda lost howto. I searched for the media/bootscreen but it seems not to exist on my device. Tried it with adb.
What's the exact way to complete this?
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers,
Ivar

You're possibly mixing up how to modify the initial static boot image & the following boot animation.
For the latter you need to replace some files in the rom, location & structure depending on the android version. Try this google.
For the former, you need to have an unlocked spl on your device. This will enable you to flash the splash screen. To create your own image you'll need it in rgb565 format. There are a few tools to do this; I use rgb565converter.
Is this the one with the little green robot coming from the Hero logo or just the static Hero writing?
EDIT: If anyone's wondering here is the one with the robot forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=699259
yes guys which bootscreen is this?
and another question is if i am using VILLAINROM 12.0 and want to remove its bootscreen and put this...what shud i do?? pleez help..thanx!
