Note:
This is not bootanimation, this is the splash screen (the 'Mi' boot logo which is displayed when device is switched ON)
This is for Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (mido/whatever) Only (Snapdragon Variants)..
(For variants other than mido, please post your splash.img here so that I can check if it can work in your device)
For other devices, please send me your splash.img so that I can create a tool for you too.
Requirements:
1. Rooted Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (Snapdragon) (any ROM)
2. Optional: Terminal Emulator app or Custom Recovery or atleast working fastboot in computer
3. You're proceeding at your own risk.
STEPS to create splash.img:
(For devices with latest firmware, use this tool: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75231024&postcount=48)
1. Download & Extract this: Redmi_Note_4_Splash_Maker.zip
2. Make sure you have a picture with resolution 1080x1920 or lower.
Note:
Redmi Note 4 logo has a fixed size of 100kB allocated for splash image frame buffer, so only very light-weight pictures can be used.
(If you alter this limit in the script, fastboot picture will not appear in fastboot mode..)
It's recommended to use picture with 3 or 2 colors only, like Black & White pictures.
So you'll have to try many pictures till you get a successful one.
3. Now rename your picture as logo.png or logo.jpg according to its format & replace it inside "pics" folder of the extracted folder.
4. Finally, run the 'CREATE_LOGO.bat' to create splash.img , which you can find inside the "output" folder after completion.
Note:
You'll get an error like "PICTURE IS LARGE IN SIZE" if it's not possible to create a logo with that picture.
In that case, try any one of these below:
a. Try compressPNG.com to reduce no. of colors in PNG picture.
Upload your picture, click Settings, reduce number of colors to 2, Apply & download it & try again.
b. Reduce the picture resolution.
For example, this picture: can edited to something like this:
(Hope you understand what I say)
c. Try some other picture.
STEPS to flash splash.img:
Optional: To backup your original splash.img:
(Not necessary though.. You may get it from the stock firmware itself.)
Now, Choose any one easy method to install:
a. To flash from recovery:
Transfer the flashable_splash.zip to your device and flash from TWRP or CWM or Philz or any other custom recovery.
b. To flash from Terminal Emulator:
Transfer the splash.img to your device's Internal Storage, Open Terminal Emulator & enter the following to flash it:
c. To flash from Fastboot mode:
Note:
Incase something goes wrong or device doesn't bootup, flash the stock splash.img from custom recovery or fastboot.
