I made this to work with my Kaiser running VaniljEclair RLS7c
I was thinking about making another version where R2D2 shoots a laser beam at an apple but it needs a lot of work, I'll probably try with it later
How to install:
on WM devices with Android installed instead of WM (Kaiser, Vogue..etc)
Unpack the attachment, and copy androidupdate.tar to your SD card. put in andboot folder
Now you have to Install the update: I quote this from “How to replace Windows Mobile with Android”
Place the SD card in your phone and power on your Kaiser. When you see text on your screen hold down the D-pad. D-pad is that button in the center of your up, down, left, right buttons. Keep holding down the D-pad until you see something like this appear on your screen.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Choose install update: you will see then some lines and then word Installing.
When finished, choose quite, or soft rest.
You’re done enjoy your new boot screen
For Android HTC devices:
Extract the contents of androidupdate.tar, you will see bootanimation.zip, then you might follow the instructions here

I wish I can explain more here, but again I don’t have Android device. Just a HD2 and my old Kaiser.
I got the R2D2 picture from this site
http://www.members.shaw.ca/david.p.z.888/star_wars/r2-d2.html
And the loading animation from this awesome place, it has tons of customizable loading animations
http://ajaxload.info/
I have also made R2D2 splash screen for Kaiser, I'm not sure whether it will work on other devices or not..
Thanks a lot for zenity for providing the programs to make splash screen
Make sure you back up your data before messing with your deivce
I hope you like it

Thanks Duke, lol, I'm just gonna download and install these both on my kaiser.
Your just lucky, I keep all sorts of stuff on my HDD, some of it's bound to come in handy someday, ( packrat mentality, you should see my attic, well, if you can get past 15 years of stuff that I may need someday.....).
Just a quick note, the Kaiser IS an android device, just not a Native android device

Lol
I was like you. but my HDD failed couple of month ago, and I had to start from scratch, and many of the older stuff aren't available online
The kaiser is definitely an Android device, and I'm loving it. my only wish is that if it had a flush screen.. that would've been very nice.
I can't wait for a similar android for my HD2

[Bootanimations] Simplistic/Minimalistic Post Yours!

Everyone is so into "Simplistic" Android themes and configurations... Guilty as charged. But, the funny thing is, these simplistic themes are paired with elaborate bootscreens! Why not have simplistic boot screens also? I'll start. This is the one I'm using for my Nexus S. It looks great on AMOLED and SAMOLED (480x800) screens. I use this blue one but it's easy to make muliple colors. If you want to try it, the "bootanimation.zip" file is in my blog.

I like it. You're absolutely right about there not being enough simplistic or minimalistic boot animations.
I'll be flashing a just-barely-grey or a light beige version.

Thank you GchildT I went to your blog to get the simplistic circle and ended up with the cute droid bee! Thanks, it's one of the best bootanimations I've seen.

I don't know how to make boot animations but what about one that just said:
"Loading..." or "Booting..." and had the dots "appearing" and "disappearing." Hard to explain but like this:
Loading. -> "Loading.." -> "Loading..." -> "Loading." -> "Loading.." and so on. So only the dots would be moving.
Or maybe just a bar that filled as the boot completes... so "Booting" underneath a green or grey (whatever color, really) and just filled kind of like the Safari web browser's URL box does as the page loads.

I can do that... It's very easy. That would be a nice minimalist bootscreen! Thanks. I'll work on that...

I'd also be interested in minimalistic unbranded splash screen is anyone has a good one.

[MAR 04] [BOOT SCREEN] Contextualize This! MultiOS Device Startup Screen

Greetings HD2 brethren! I present to you YABS (yet another boot screen...lol)! I call this the 'Contextualize This!' Edition. For the last month, I have been using Windows Phone 7 Series; shockingly inspired by the highly contextual graphical user interface. I find myself pleasantly enjoying my experience with this new OS therefore I whipped this baby up on Photoshop. Let me know what you think. Also, I took the liberty of packaging a bitmap image of the boot screen in case anyone wants to make modifications before flashing (for examaple, I have my boot screen show my name and contact information in case my device gets lost). Please note: if you wish to modify, you will have to recompile the *.nbh image).
About the design/modifications:
New 'HD2' Logo. The number two is represented in its roman numerical form (e.g. II) with the 'HD' marker centered between these two pillars.
Monochromatic...'nuff said.
Foreground is composed of random text/characters; the basis of this theme.
Modified the Win Mo 6.5.x logo (simply put '6.5.x' in the lower right quadrant) and Android logo (It is now waiving! )

[Q] Unifying splash screen, boot animation etc.

Hi there,
I'm wondering if there's a way to unify the entire bootup process so that it just displays one static image. Currently mine starts up immediately with this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Which I flashed from the stock NBH found here. But then after displaying that for a few seconds it switches to the same screen with a black background, and then it switches to the swirling colours of the Nexus One animation.
Is there a way to make all three processes the same, so it just shows that same HTC logo with a white background all the way through? Or at the very least shows the HTC logo with either background until the Nexus One animation starts.
Hope that made sense.
Thanks

In actuality you should have four boot screens.
1. Is a static image that does not do anything
2. Is the Rom loader screen
3. Is a short screen that displays a static image
4 Is the moving splash screen, which sometimes is two files, does not have to be tho.
The only thing you can do, and we'll use your HTC image as the example is flash all the screens except #2 to be the same image, when it gets to the moving splash, there is a splash screen in the forums somewhere exactly like your only it has a green loading bar with dots. There is a lot involved with this if you are inexperienced so I'd suggest you do the proper research as each number listed above may or may not be a different process, and most importantly, BACK UP! BACK UP! BACK UP!.

Thanks for the reply. This explains a few things - I thought things had gone terribly wrong when I ended up with 4 screens. Anyway, what I ended up doing is keeping the default screen for this ROM which stays on through the second and third screens (black HTC screen) and then flashing that same image to the first screen. So now I get the black screen all the way through until the boot animation, which is the stock Nexus One one.

I've just spend a while researching and collecting bits together to make it so my phone keeps the green HTC on white background throughout the steps.
I modified the initrd for tytung's 12.3 to have the same screen as above, then my bootanimation is the same but the writing "quietly brilliant" is written below then stays on screen.
I don't reboot very often, but it's nice to have them all the same when I do.

The issue I had with this is that my ROM requires you to flash an extra kernel zip afterwards for cLK, and this contained the boot.img with initrd in. I tried modifying this with a new boot image but it ended up breaking things. Still, I'm happy with how it is now.
