While researching how the splash screen works and how to change it I came across a boot animation
It was like a stick drawing animation with someone trying to jump over a cliff
I really liked it but at the time I couldnt use it as the San Francisco didn't support bootanimation.zip
but now I have Froyo in my phone I want to try it
but I cant remember where I saw it, I'm not even sure it was on this forum, although I'm pretty sure it was
Does anyone know the animation or where I might find it? or anything similar?
or is there a gallery/folder/thread of most known animations?
If I cant find that one I'd like something really colourful but obviously havig HTC in it isnt much use, and most I have seen seem to have that in.
480x800 is the resolution/screen size
Thanks in advance
Anyone have any ideas where I might find this?

Ok, I know that I found it SOMEWHERE on here once before, but I can't seem to find it now.... I am trying to find the thread that talks about how to change the startup animation. I absolutely HATE the AT&T 3G crap, and I want to change it. Can anyone point me to that thread, please? Thank you!

well, I'm not aware of how you can change it without cooking a different one it, but you can disable it with KaiserTweak or Schap's AdvancedConfig
Maybe this one?

That would be the one! Thank you!!!

If you want to also change the ATT logo, the one before the animation starts (that shows radio version and stuff), download the thing in my attachment, and it changes it to HTC's official boot screen.
It's black background with words "Smart Mobility" in the center, much cooler than stupid att logo...

Awsome! Thanks a bunch!
I usually just use nude pornstars for my splash screen
Lol
That's too funny!
I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find the "HTC Smart Mobility" animated boot screen. I have searched like 50 or 60 forums to no avail... I am really wanting it back on my phone because the 3G Up sucks...
Ok so I have been searching the forums and I cannot find an exact answer for what I want to change so if this is a problem that had already been solved, please direct me to the thread.
I just recently dl'd the chm binary release and like it. But the on screen keyboard is hard on my eyes.
So my question is how would I go about replacing it with something like, o say the buuf on screen keyboard instead?
HTC_IME is not what I want just to clarify.
And once again, I apologize if this has already been threaded...
There is no way that none of you know this...

We could help you, but it is a 3rd party keyboard. What keyboard is it?
I'm not really sure. After installing the HTC_IME, I now have 2. Htc keyboard and android keyboard. If I knew how to take a screenie, I would but I don't.
As far as I know, its the on screen keyboard I've had since I rooted...
The keyboard that comes with chm binary is what I want to change...
well, I know how to modify the look of the builtin keyboard, but I haven't messed with 3rd party stuff.
The stock keyboard can be changed by theming. They're just png files, although the .9.pngs make it a little bit more complicated.
Well I kinda figured as much but what I'm really trying to ask is where do I find them?
They're in framework-res.apk on the phone. If you extract this file they'll be under res/drawable/
The filenames are btn_keyboard*.png
By using metamorph or creating an update.zip style theme you can change these and apply a theme to the phone. Theming is a real pain, but I think it's worth learning how to do.
Ya, I have already pieced together a blackbar to my liking so I'm well aware of the hassles it is to do. I'll be learning the .9's as soon as I get my pc parts back from rma and then I'll try to put out a skin.
Thanks bud, I'll look into this tomorrow after I've slept...
If you want to do this easily, download the buff keyboard skin for better keyboard, and take the .9.pngs from there.
Wow! Now that should have been said at the very beginning. Good thing I was too busy today to get to that. Cloverdale, you just saved me a few hours of frustration. still though, I thank the both of you for the help. I will update the thread when I have success so everyone knows its solved!
Ps- anyone else try to read the forums on your phone? Its a little tricky...
Sorry for the off topic comment but I felt the need...
ok so I couldn't really find a way to download the better keyboard/buuf theme on the pc so I went and tried swapping the btn-keyboard---'s and noting happened after add.
So now I'm on the hunt for the better keyboard dl
I don't know where to look for the file when dl'ing to phone so if all else fails, I guess I could dl to phone and then search for it by folder by painstaking folder...
Update - I cannot for the life of me find the file on the web or on the phone. I dl'd from marketplace but I must not be very smart cause I don't know where marketplace stores stuff...
Downloading the better keyboard theme was supposed to save me grief but in fact, it did the exact opposite...
Update - Well I thought by removing the btn_keyboard_key.xml would solve my problem considering the BUUF skin does not contain one. Same nasty black and blue keyboard. All the buuf keyboard .--- are there so I'm confused once again.
I do not want to install another pay-for app and I don't want the entire buuf theme as of now so I will wait till later today after sleep and try again.
Unless someone knows exactly what's wrong. I'm doing everything I can to keep this 3 month old drywall from having holes in it...
I thought the black bar mod was hard to do... hahaha! That was a cake walk compared to this...
Update - Removing the xml's to the keyboard was a bad idea. It forced closed the android keyboard cause it wanted to change the language to latin or something like that. Touch Input keyboard (HTC_IME) will still work though and I made backups so all of this is just a learning experience for me.
...This is so not like modding and skinning a moto. Way more complicated. So much can go wrong.
Which reminds me, how do I view the .xml's with win7? Never done it before...
So does anyone have any other ideas? Maybe there's something I've been missing this whole time?
I have replaced the btn_keyboard--- files in the framework-res.apk like I was told to do and there is no effects... at all. Positive or negative...

Well the only other place I can think of is the LatinIME.apk, but I'm not sure about that one
You know, that almost makes sense cause when I removed the .xml for the keyboard to make it match with buuf, the phone kept screaming at me about ..... latin something. So I will check this out and let you know.
But now I have a new problem. I think I need to remove a few applications cause my phone keeps force closing everything after reboot due to an update.zip file. So once I conquor this then I'll start working on the original problem...
Well as the title says I am in desperate need of help. Now I have just gotten the Touch Diamond and I am not happy with they way things look. I liked the phone by looking at all the Youtube videos and decided this was my next phone. Well little that I knew every video was either a different carrier style phone or has been modded. Now I am looking to do the same thing, but I am looking for someone who is experienced in this field to give me some one on one support. Now I am not a complete noob when it comes to computers but when it comes to the phone yes I am have never messed with modding a phone. This is my first PDA phone. So if someone can either send me a PM or just reply here that would be great. My main goal is to get the most out of my phone. Thanks in advance and hope to hear from you guys soon. Thanks

There is a ton of info on this site and on ppcgeeks.com so the best thing to do is read,read,read. Then you can learn what you like and decide what you want to do. Good Luck!!
Thanks. I have been to numerous sites and they all say what the stuff can do but there is no Tutorial on how to add stuff and config it. Thats where I am running into problems. I would like to change my TF3D screen off this purple color. I was able to finally get my weather to work in my area instead of major cities. Now I just want to mess with the look of the phone. I have the Diamond TF3D Config installed but all the themes I want to install on the phone wont come up in the Path folder. Thats another area I could not find a Tutorial on. If I had one of those or at least a video of how to do it that would be great.

flash a energy rom, they are great out of the box and they have a custom look to them. just follow the on screen instructions and you cant go wrong. just make sure you flash hardspl first.
Ok, Thanks. Now I know I have seen some out there that wont work for my phone. Can you tell me which one will work. I have a Verizon Diamond and I dont want to brick it.

I don't think there is a HardSPL/Unlocker for the Verizon version.
You may only be able to tweak your shipped rom.
Ok, well I am not having a problem I would like to get solved. Once I get this solved I am all set. Also do I have to unlock my phone to upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.5? Here is a Link to my problems with the weather.
Anyone know if this method works for the thunderbolt bootscreen as well?Using a Gif would be sooooo much easier than timing png's XD. I'd assume so but before I start trying it I would like to see if anyone else has tried it.

I've tried running .gif boot animations before with no luck, not 100% sure it will work...which sucks cuz you're right, it would be waaaaay easier than a thousand sequential images.....
T-bolt>>gingerBAMF
Currently, my XZ1c startup goes like this:
Bootloader is unlocked warning
The VERY BRIGHT Sony screen
LineageOS animation
Lockscreen
My goals:
Get rid of the Bootloader warning (1)
Change the Sony screen (2) to something else (maybe just inverted so it's White-On-Black instead)
I've seen tools like Boot Animations for Superuser that promise to change the boot animation... but I believe they're referring to the LineageOS animation. I'm not trying to change that.
Also found this abandoned Splash Screen Creator tool from 2011. The comments suggest it no longer works.
This post suggests the solution is in \ramdisk\res\images\warning, but I'm only seeing some battery images there.
Does anyone know how to make these changes? Thank you.
I'd say it's very unlikely either two of those screens can be changed for this phone or any of the Xperia phones. I've yet to see a thread on how to do it. If it was possible XDA searches would have produced something.
Do any of these help? I have no idea, and would be very interested in finding a solution too.

That last one seems very promising, atleast for the bootloader warning.

So then it is possible on some xperia phones. I've found several properly sized pngs. I wonder if it would be possible to flash a kernel with the different splash screen?

I got hopeful after doing some digging. In /dev/block/by-name/ is a file called splash. I searched 'changing splash screen' and this is where and what the logo file is on some devices. I tried some conversions and replacement but nothing seems to have taken effect. Maybe someone with more knowledge and experience could figure it out...

If it was possible it would have been done a long time ago.
