I have searched high and low for the answer to this question...sorry if my search criteria sucked.
I have unlocked, rooted, and flashed nameless on my HTC Desire C. I have also flashed the HTC Desire C Customiser
at forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2048217 and changed the splash screen and boot animation.
But I want to change the splash screen to my own.
I have attempted the general HTC Desire instructions with no joy.
Since the customizer does it, I know it can be done. Any pointers on manual steps for the desire C?
Thanks in advance,

And so it did. Just found this:

So thats it for the animation. I will give it a try.
The splash screen at boot is still open. Anyone?
You can't change the splash screen without full s-off mate

I think by splash screen, he means the boot animation am I correct?

Thanks. Is there a method to s-off the HTC Desire C? Is see methods for the "HTC Desire" using revolutionary but nothing specifc to the C.
And how did "HTC Desire C Customiser" change both splash screen and boot animation.
Thanks for your response.

Customiser doesn't change the splash screen. If you are referring to the red developer text that appears in the htc splash screen , then its because you flashed an insecure boot.img to get root benefits

They are in fact separate things. The slash screen being the picture that appears when the device is first turned on, then the boot animation follows.

Just to elaborate, Splash screen is the green HTC logo over a white background, on an unlocked bootloader it also features the red text stating that you are in a development build, and of course the boot animation is whatever you set it to be by modifying the file in your customize folder.
And like stated above the splash screen cannot be modified on our device, as we do not have S-OFF and from what I can tell, we won't be getting S-OFF anytime in the near future, however the boot animation can be modified once you have root.

Ahhhhhhh......
So is it normal (in the HTC Desire C case) to flash an insecure boot.img? Is this the only way or is there a better way?
So far, I need:
1. To learn how to s-off the HTC Desire C and...
2. Learn how to change whatever files on the device (/system/customize/resources?) the manipulate the splash screen and boot animation.
Thanks

Yes it is normal to flash an insecure boot.img. Currently thats the only way to obtain root for the device. The red text can be easily wiped out once you return back to your stock rom through a ruu.
1. Currently there is no way to s-off Desire C . We dont have enough experienced devs to achieve s-off yet
2.You can easily edit boot animation by changing /system/customize/resources/hTC_bootup.zip with a boot animation of your choosing( but it should be of 320x480 resolution). And since we dont have s-off yet you can edit the splash screen in any way.

I do not see the HTC splash screen with Red Text. I have to investigate this further but the customizer appears to replace it.

The customizer won't replace the splash screen, only the boot animation. If you don't see the red text on your spash screen (White screen with Green HTC Logo) then you must still be on a locked bootloader.

My bootloader clearly indicates "*** UNLOCKED ***".
What I have learned is that there is no splash screen being used. There is a custom boot animation with a part0 directory that makes it appear as a splash screen. In this case its a single image that appears for a longer period and then the part1 directory has a normal animation.
Its not clear to me what happened to the splash screen?
By using "adb push hTC_bootup.zip /system/customize/resource" I can change the bootanimation.
adb shell sysrw
adb push hTC_bootup.zip /system/customize/resource
adb sync
adb sysro
ok, new observation.
Sometimes when I reboot the phone I _do_ see the HTC splash screen with the warning red text.
Sometimes I don't. I am not sure what the sequence is which causes the splash screen to appear....or not.
So I have a boot animation and a boot mp3.
Thanks for all comments.
Requirements for S-OFF
Supercid 1111111 but it not works
mmcblk0p7 is not writable.
So no S-off, in wildfire s you could obtain soff with XTC clip hardware, but it doesnt support newer devices from one series and newer device 2013 up.
Whats s-off features:
-Changeable custom image splashscreens
-kernel can be flashed in recovery
-custom partition sizes can be created in phone internal memory
-radio, hboot flashable
-system partitions flashable and can make supercid 1111111 so you can flash any RUU
-Can flash extracted rom.zip from RUU renamed to PJ****.zip in fastboot
-and some things I don't know

So if I remove the battery, reinsert it, and restart - I see the white HTC Splash screen with RED warning text.
If I update something one the system and restart- I see the white HTC Splash screen with RED warning text.
Any other time, if I power down, and then power up. I do not see the HTC Splash screen.
Turn off fastboot mode in settings>power
This will completely turn phone off.

I see the difference that fastboot makes. Fastboot behaves more like "hibernation" as described in some forums.
When started again no BOOT_COMPLETED etc. will be sent, instead applications will be 'resumed'.
When fastboot is enable no splashscreen is displayed at boot - only the bootanimation. If fastboot is disabled the splashscreen is displayed.
Wish I could replace the annoying red text splashscreen.
in my observation, the red text isn't part of the splash screen image. because when I cold boot, first there is the normal (without red text) splash screen, then a few miliseconds later the text jumps in. Could it be that this is just a certain file in the splash screen directory or maybe something that goes even deeper?

Does anyone know how to remove the first splash image Htc Logo, i noticed that almost all the custom Roms use it as the first splash image, anyone know why? and if it is really important to keep it there ?

I installed a custom boot animation but it seems that I'm always stuck with the "This build is for development purposes only..." message, it'd be much kooler if I could see my boot animation cause it actually takes time for my phone to boot up.
Anyone knows how to do this?
Bootscreen
I was trying to change boot animation on my phone (xperia x8) but i had the same problem... it didn't change ... just no animation at all...
so you have to either stick with the animation you have or flash a rom with animation you like...
If you want just return to previous animation go to recovery...mounts and storage....format system(only...not full wipe) and then flash your rom again : )
I think we need s-off to remove the red text .So it is not possible to remove it atm.
Look at this thread if you want more info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1786498
But DONT Try this untill we get an s-off for this device

well, for me (nameless 6) i have the dev message only at the splash screen, but the bootanimation works fine, without the message.
maybe the animation you used wasnt compatible with the phone?
Same goes for nameless v7. I have installed a custom bootanimation using the aroma installer. When I reboot, it comes up with the red text but still has the bootanimation shortly after. Make sure the resolution of the bootanimation is 640x480

Hello everyone,
Does anyone know if it's possible to delete or change the initial boot screen showing the HTC logo? The one prior to any rom boot screen. Thanks.

The one with the Red text on it ...no that's the hboot
The one that shows on a full power boot, and the one that before hboot like you mentioned. There is no way?

take any picture you'd like as long as it's 1080x1920, rename it "splash1.nb0" and pack it in a firmware.zip file with the appropriate android-info.txt file matching your phone info(MID, MID, version-main), reboot in ruu mode and flash the firmware.zip. S-OFF required.
That's the only way to change the splash screen afaik.
replacing the boot and down animation is a bit simpler by making your own zip to replace the one in /system/customize/resource/
Don't we already have the TWRP working for our phones, or am I wrong that the bootloader warning message isn't just some splash screen that can be easily replaced, can someone who has worked with splash screens on a treble device try out how it works for us, if we change the splash screen will it be able to remove the Warning message?

I tried the method from Mi A1 forum - flashing modified splash.img (I used the one for Mi A1) but it didn't work, it only replaced white AndroidOne logo after the warning, so I don't think it's just a splash screen
