On the Tilt, right before the animated startup up gif is an AT&T logo splash screen (with out a new ROM). Does anyone know if I can use my own image there. I have changed the animated gif and the welcomehead (the standard winmo splash) but I would love to get rid of the AT&T logo.
The phone starts, AT&T logo, animated gif, winmo 6.0 splash, then home screen.
Thanks for any help.
This should get you started.....

Ah, thanks. I did see that thread, but didn't read deep enough to see that the flash is the only way and that, that method doesn't flash the whole ROM. Thanks for the info.
what are the dimensions for the splash screen in pixels
hi guys.
I was wondering if anyone konws of a way to customise the splash screen on start up..
"Touch Diamond" currently appers on genric htc's. is it possible to maybe change to picture or own name.
Vodafone have their own "UGLEY" RED logo in its place so it is possible.
anyone help?
Yes

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.
Are there any threads going around with boot screens to try out!? I haven't found one and i think it would be cool if there was...
Sent from my HTC Hero with Froyo...
If you're referring to splash images (what you see as soon as you power on your phone, before the boot animation starts), then I have started a gallery thread where people have been posting their custom splash images for others to use.
That is here: [SPLASH IMAGES] Gallery of Custom Splash Images
If you're referring to the boot animation (something to replace the Htc-quietly brilliant --> Sprint-Welcome to Now animation), then there are plenty of boot animations floating around the Themes and Apps forum if you just go browse and search for them there.

Take a look at my splash and boot boot animation below in my sig. There are also plenty of good bot animations floating around here.
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:
