You need CreateG1Splash.
Tutorial is here...
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Creating_Splashboot_Images
Just go down half the page,download the zip. Creat an image in .png and use CreateG1Splash.exe to convert.... Next yoou need to flash it on your device.
Fastboot flash splash1 C:\Mysplash.rgb565 (if it is in your root of the C: drive).

isnt that just a stand still image? I want to make the moving thingy

the SPLASHSCREEN is the very first image. it is flashed through fastboot (and only through fastboot) and is a still image.
the BOOTSCREEN is the animated gif which is played after the splashscreen is shown, until the ui has loaded. it is a part of the rom, can be pushed via adb or flashed via update.zip.

Make an animated .gif of the right resolution (not sure exactly but I think it's anything smaller than the screen res..) and flash it to the correct folder.

Tnx man ! it worked

I know I have posted this on another thread, but redmdc should be praised for this. Check the thread below, you can put your own bootscreen in and change other aspects in a gui.

If you know how to edit initrd.gz, then you can change it.

Can you tell me more about that?
Now that NAND ANDROID is a reality for the HD2 I have seen users asking for Android Splash Screens so I thought I would make some and pass them on. I am also supplying the LEO Stock Splash Screen if you want to go back.
Simply follow the instructions:
1. Download the desired Splash Screen and extract the contents to a new folder on your pc.
2. Shut down your phone (doesnt matter if you have already flashed a NAND Android Rom)
3. Enter Bootloader Mode by Holding the 'Volume Down' button while briefly pressing the 'Power' button. Keep holding the 'Volume Down' button until the tri colour screen appears.
4. Plug in your usb cable so that it says 'usb' at the bottom of the screen
5. Run the CustomRuu.exe file and follow the instructions
6. When flashing is complete the phone will reboot

Initrd.gz is is found in boot partition of each build along with zImage. If you know how to gunzip and edit files inside that file, then you can change the image after magldr/before bootanimation.zip.

Not from recovery like a normal .zip they must be flashed in bootloader.
Here are a couple more made out of some random pics I liked..
I found the thread that described it. Will we ever be able to flash splash screens on the fly? Someone just needs to find the special file name right?

Not sure exactly what you mean.. you can flash any splash pretty quickly just..
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash splash1 "YourSplashName".img
adb reboot

			
				
heres a game of phones one...
and a hottie... ill add more as i get better at this...
Made that one for my own use. Love it as a power up logo for the splash
Didnt attach a zip. It's an rgb565...those of you can figure it out.
(rename rgb565 to .img and fastboot flash splash1 splash.img y'know, from the old Evo 4G days.)

On the evo 3d we could just rename the file and the boatloader would automatically flash it. No computer needed

I used felacio's thread to make it but when I look in the completed zip it's a .img file not .nb0 so I'm not really sure it it worked correctly. Maybe someone can take a look at the zip and see if it's correct.
Update I think I did it correctly this time can someone confirm? I have not flashed the Moonshine hboot yet. So if you don't want to flash it maybe just check the zip see if everything is correct.

Oh not the boot animation the boot splash thats the screen before the boot animation, the lg logo i want to chance that
To the best of my knowledge it can be changed but it will require quite a lot of work and some googling. I believe the boot splash is contained within bootloader, which I believe is a boot.IMG ull have extract that find the files to replace. The hard part is the files are not just jpgs or pngs they are a obscure image format a quick Google showed someone found a way of converting them but the rest is up to you
Look for initlogo.rle. It is a file loaded by init on each boot, if it exists. It is located in root and by default you won't find it and you have to create one. You have to un- and repack the boot.img to edit that file.
The file has a special format. For more information, look here.
Also, keep in mind that this will not change the LG logo built into the bootloader. With our knowledge so far, it cannot be changed.

Any ToT file for disabling big cores?

Hello everyone.
Unfortunately my lg g4 bootlooped. And after extensive Google search, i see that most models have a tot file which disables big cores so u can run the phone on the small cores
Does the T-Mobile variant have such a tot file? if yes then can somebody give me the link? if no then can somebody create one using the following info?
Agimax said:
Why not just edit the files below for the two large cores (if you have root):
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu4/online (open file and change from a one to a zero)
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu5/online (open file and change from a one to a zero)
You could also just have the startup file do it (can modify the ripped system partition & put back on phone):
etc/dir/init.qcom.post_boot.sh (find your processor code - 8992 and add echo lines there with the rest of the cpu commands)

Afaik you need a box to create tot files.
Besides this I have never created any big core disabling but I know @the_naxhoo has.
if you can reach the download mode you could flash with the lglaf shell a modified boot image which is doing the job. If you do not have Linux get your copy of FWUL which has everything on board (like the lglaf shell).
The modded boot image has to disable the cores either by the cmdline or the sys echo or both. I saw that cmdline thing during my unlock attempts and think those are much better then the echo to sys..
Creating a kdz would be maybe possible
creating a TWRP zip for sure but I'm very very busy at the moment...
So just one more time (as still not answered.. ) do you had TWRP installed before the bootloop occurs?
...and If so what happens when you try to get into it?

Cmdline is how I disabled the cores on the Nexus, the fix is easy to do on a boot.img, but LG uses the KDZ files, which use a totally different file structure, and I'm not sure if the LG flash tool has file checks, even on unlocked bootloaders. I will do some research and see what I can do. If anyone has any knowledge on modifying kdz files, please tell me.

asked steadfasterx about kdz and his reply is as follows
steadfasterX said:
me too. never created KDZs yet but there are tools for it - afaik.
My first approach would have been to flash the boot image in the download mode with the lglaf shell (https://github.com/steadfasterX/lglaf/tree/g4) .
requires to do a flash of a modified boot image with dd on /dev/block/mmcblk0 with the correct seek ..

Change bootsplash troubleshooting

Hello, I am new to xda and I hope you can help me
I changed the bootsplash of my s10 with TWRP following this tutorial.
It works well as you can see in boot_aston.jpg. But after this screen I have another samsung one as you can see in boot_samsung.jpg.
Is it possible to edit or delete this screen ?
EDIT 1 : I decompressed the up_param tar to see what was inside and it seems that the samsung screen isn't in there...

there must be another place that you need to change the file the bootloader is looking for if its showing you 2 different pictures.

This is what I deduced too. But I'm totally a noob on the Android bootloader so I don't know where to look for that second image. I have already searched everywhere on XDA but no one seems to be talking about it ...
SOLUTION :
When rooted in a adb shell, delete the system/media/bootsamsung.qmg file.
Works perfectly for me

well, there ya go! i assume that by deleting the second image it no longer thinks it has 2 to display thereby making it just use that one the user wanted in the first place
In up_param.bin image.jpg and image svb_orange.jpg need be the same.
I have a feeling that's just the stock boot animation
But I like that Aston Martin boot splash,can I get one for the s10e
