After hours of looking for information on changing my boot logo/splash screen I was finally able to put together something helpful for anyone else in the same boat. I wrote a bash script and bundled it with the necessities for quick and easy modification of splash screens.
Included in the attached zip you'll find:
convert.exe Copyright (C) 1999-2012 ImageMagick Studio LLC
nbimg made by XDA user pof
fastboot.exe from Android SDK
spla.sh written by myself
Instructions -
Using your favorite image manipulation tool (e.g. Photoshop, GIMP, Pixlr, etc.) create whatever you want as your boot logo. Save the image in the same directory as the included files. Using the terminal of your choice navigate to the directory you extracted the files to and run 'sudo ./spla.sh' the rest is self explanatory!
As I was messing around with this a bit more I noticed you may need to 'chmod +x nbimg' if you get a permission denied message.
DISCLAIMER: Use this at your own risk! I take no responsibility if you brick your device.

Any specific error you're getting? What's the device you're using? Do you have adb/fastboot working otherwise?
Working on any device?

Hot on the heels of my installAPK utility to let you install APKs from your Windows desktop, I now have another neat trick... which allows developers to distribute APKs as Windows EXE files instead.
What do I need?
NSIS install system - http://nsis.sourceforge.net
APK2EXE (my suite) - http://shortun.com/3q
Your APK
What does the end user need?
The end user needs their device attached to their PC, with the appropriate drivers installed (which they can grab from http://android.modaco.com/usbdrivers).
How do I use it?
Follow these steps to create your executable!
Extract APK2EXE to a new directory
Add your APK to the directory
Doubleclick APK2EXE.NSI and edit the 3 lines containing information about your application.

Right click the NSI file, and select 'Compile NSIS Script' - this will create your install EXE
Test your installer!
Done!

Custom boot animation i made to run on my original Droid, Modified to work on my new TB. Nothing to fancy just the laughing man logo spinning

The boot animation is slowed down alot more than this animation.
Now has audio of project 2501 "I Am not AI, My codename is Project 2501, I am a living thinking entity who was created in a sea of information"
*disclaimer* use at own risk you take full responsibility for your actions*
to install:
1. extract zip file
2.copy "bootanimation.zip" and "FinalThunder.mp3" to your sd card
3.then use root explorer or your file manger of choice that can edit root files and copy both files to
/system/media
or
/system/customize/resource
(i know this is where it is on Virus rom)
Varies by which Rom you are running.
/system/media
or
/system/customize/resource
(i know this is where it is on Virus rom)
depending on the rom you are running.

I love this, now only if we had some boot sound from GITS
Working on figuring the sound part out will update once I.do
Any request of sound? I can't seem think.of one that would be make a good boot sound
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Perhaps part of Origa's Rise? (I think that's the first intro for GitS:SAC)
Or find a clip from the English dub where someone says the stuff in the logo?
ive created a tool which consists of scripts and binarys called SIDK alias System-Image-Development-Kit!
It allows you to unpack system.img for hammerhead and mako with one command called: "./unpack-mako.sh" which will automatically detect if the corresponding system.img is present in the device specific directory. It will unpack system.img to system directory and let you repack with just one command called: "./repack-mako.sh" and put the new compiled img in the output directory, now my q is: should i release it for mako and hammerhead or even more devices? would it be useful?

Since you're here in the General forum you might need to explain what the purpose of this tool is for non-developers, or give some more details. It's possible that there would be interest in it but I don't think anyone knows what the use cases are from your description. :good:
You may start with mako and hammerhead and when it is stable enough release it for all nexus devices and then to sony/samsung/htc devices.
It's a matter of time, but first... NEXUS

hello,
i made a few little boot"animations" for galaxy mini:
{
"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_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
the logo is not my creation - it's some cyanogenmod logo. the Cid logo comes with this license - i assume that the logo i use comes with the same. the same license applies to my part of the work.
the font is URW Gothic L. i don't know how it's licensed but i'm pretty sure it's either SIL or GPL.
i wanted to create something very small and minimalistic; they're only a few KB each. other people's bootanimations are as big as 5MB and really slow down the boot process...
each bootanimation.zip is zipped again with a few extras (bootsplash, homescreen background).
i will be happy to create one like that for you for a different ROM!
install: copy it to /data/local/bootanimation.zip or to /system/media/bootanimation.zip
with adb: "adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/"
enjoy!
updated & expanded.
see post #1.
Hello! Can you do this for Cyanogenmod 7.2? Thank you!

there you go.
i updated the first post (i called it ba-allcyan-centered-7.2.zip).
didn't try it on my own phone though, let me know how it goes.
you want a kernel bootsplash, too? integrating it is a lot more work than pushing a bootanimation.
anyhow if you want, tell me which kernel, i'll create the image in .rle format.
Very good ..

Install apps over ADB
Install apks on any Android device running any Android version over ADB!
Hi all,
From a long time i was fiddling around with a problem of installing/downloading apps after installing a new ROM.
Thus i came up with an idea of a Batch File to install all of your apks from your system
to your phone in a few tips and taps. Hah! Found my solution .
How does it look?
To see some screenshots, please click below.
Tested on
The script had been tested on a couple of androinds but should work on any android device.
Downloads
Google Drive - Here is the link to Drive.
Link Below - You can also find the file below.
Installation instructions
Prerequisites
1. Platform Tools for Windows (ADB),
2. APK files,
3. Target phone connected to PC and
4. A cup of COFFEE or TEA as you like it.
Process
1. Download it from the attachments below or from the drive link above or here.
2. Copy the file to the ADB folder.
3. Execute the file.
4. You can either place your apps in "D:\Apps" folder. (Sllloooowwwww.....)
ORChange the folder location in batch file itself. (Requires some Coding Skills)
ORBatch file will ask you to change the location, if required. (Easy Installation, Pick Me!)
Troubleshooting
I don't think it's needed. But even then if you get any problem do write. I'll be happy to resolve it.
Enjoy, and also don't forget to write anything (Good, Bad or Thanks etc.)!
