How to change your HBoot splashscreen - HTC Incredible S

If you want to change your splashscreen (the white screen with the green HTC text) to your prefered picture, you can find a guide here.
To get it to work on the IncS there is two things you have to do different compared to the guide.
1) You have to name the file that you place on the SD-Card: PG32IMG.zip and NOT PB31IMG.zip
2) Use the attached android-info.txt instead of the one in the guide.
This is my new splashscreen.
{
"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"
}
Chaged image to the one without the typo...
_____________________________________________________________
I just made a new SplasScreen.
Flash attached "PG32IMG.zip" from Bootloader and you will get the above picture.

Not trying to be rude but wanted to let you know that you spelled incredible incorrectly!
Cheers though good guide

I know, and i changed it on the one i installed. It was my daughter that discovered it ;-)

I'm not sure why, but this process didn't work for me. Just didn't seem to like the PG32IMG.zip file.
What I did was...
Create and save my image as a 480x800 24bit RGB colour bitmap, called splash1.bmp
Ran "nbimg -F splash1.bmp -w 480 -h 800"
Renamed splash1.bmp.nb to splash1.img
Booted my phone into the bootloader, and ran "fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img".

Oops, typo, I meant PG (post edited). It still didn't seem to like the zip file.
I think the way I did it is easier anyway.

Does this work if I'm running android revolution?

Yes, it has nothing to do with your Rom.

Black pixels visible on the 9-patch images?

I've used the 9-patch application to draw the black pixels as I should and the result is this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

Visible pixels? What do I do wrong?
Did u compile the image using eclipse ?
U gotta do that if i recall correctly. Also if ur on a windows machine and the image-background transparency is not an issue, may i suggest MsPaint (When editing a .9 png it keeps the data intact even after u save the file)

These files are compiled automatically when building an apk.
@Hund
Did you named these files like: some-file.9.png ?

[BOOT ANIMATION] Finisher! (Ultimate Kill)

I did not create the original animation. It can be found all over the web and I have no idea who created it. Credit goes to him/her.
This boot animation is based off of this gif:
{
"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"
}
I added a background layer, removed almost 200 frames (the original was almost 900 frames) optimized the images and made an "ERIS" loop at the end.
.
Note: Sometimes my phone boots up too fast and the animation doesn't make it all the way to the end. Please report how your phone does and I will update accordingly. Enjoy!
That's a badass bootanimation thanks for your work,any way you know how to change the in call screen?

lmao @ this ^ guy
doesn't work on at all on my phone. Evil Eris 3.0 rooted, etc.
I did install it through the recovery menu though. Is there anything specific beyond "Install zip file" that needs to be done?

Yea you don't flash this through recovery. Put it in your tools folder on your pc and "adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/"

ah. guess I'll have to wait till I get home from work to try it out then.
Get root explorer in market you can move it from SD card or to data/system/media and paste and it'll ask to overwrite and Say yes. Do easy and fast
Just installed, rebooted phone and runs perfect. No changes that needs to be made that I can see, looks awesome! I keep running adb shell bootanimation just so I can keep watching it. Great job

[BOOT ANIMATION] Ubuntu

A boot animation themed like the newer ubuntu ones.
If anyone has any suggestions for improvement let me know
EDIT: I just realized that i should probably post how to install this...
for CM7 and a couple other roms put it in /system/media/bootanimation.zip
and for the stock rom/sense based it goes at /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
I've read that for sense based it may need to be called VZWbootanimation.zip or something along those lines just replace whatever is there.
permissions need to be set at rw-r--r-- or an upside down L on the left side in root explorer if you don't understand that.

}
so i cant just Flash it on Clockwork?
this is just the actual boot animation file that goes into the file system... you can just put it there with root explorer or the like.
doesn't get extracted by the way. you just need to rename the zip file

[APP] Splash Changer

This is a little experimental, but here's a little something if you get bored:
{
"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",

}
Splash Changer is an application I wrote that uses Heathcliff74's Root Tools SDK to replace the splash image on your phone. This is the image between your OEM logo and the animated Windows Phone splash screen. Usually this is an ugly carrier logo, but on custom ROMs, it'll probably be more branded.
Either way, it's easy to change. Here are the instructions. If there's significant demand for this app, I'll make a more streamlined (easier to use) version of it.
Download the splashchanger.zip file. Do not extract this.
Make some custom splash images. You need a 480x800 image, in Windows BMP format. Paint makes these files, for example.
Open it with a ZIP file utility, such as WinRAR or 7-Zip File Manager.
Add your BMPs into the splashes folder, with the built-in ones.
Deploy the entire splashchanger.zip file. To do this, you may need to type *.zip into the deployment chooser, and press enter. It should appear and be deployable. (XAPs are zip files, in case you didn't know.)

Enjoy~
Awesome stuff as always man! Gonna have to check this out! Thanks!
Oh, duh. This only works on rooted phones. Sorry for my Lumia : 0
I adore your app ideas.
Nice little app
On my Focus S, the ATT splash still comes after I changed it though
He-he, of course big thanks to Jaxbot for the app but I have a question to the app fans: how often you guys rebooting your handsets?
P.S. Jaxbot, nothing personal of course! I like and appreciate your work.
