[SPLASH] Nexus S-style splash screens for Magic

kanttii · Jan 21, 2011

For some time I have been using a splash screen I made, and thought to share it since I haven't seen anything like it.

The idea originates from Nexus S splash screen and has the same style of logo text, white with some inner shadow. I also made some different styles, in which I used giorgisp's HDPI splash screen as background.

NOTICE! THESE WILL ONLY WORK ON HTC MAGIC AND G1 = DREAM/SAPPHIRE COMPATIBLE!

Previews and downloads:

First: splash2-htcgoogle.rgb565

Second: splash3-htcandroid.rgb565

Third: splash3-htcandroid-ns-blue.rgb565

Fourth: splash3-htcandroid-ns-green.rgb565

Fifth: splash3-htcandroid-ns-orange.rgb565

Sixth: splash3-htcandroid-ns-darkred.rgb565

Seventh: splash3-htcandroid-ns-cyan.rgb565

Eighth: splash3-htcandroid-honeycomb.rgb565

Ninth: splash1-magictux.rgb565

Originally by stergios117 - all credits to him! I just modded it a bit.

Instructions:
1. Boot to fastboot (back+power)
2. Download & move your desired splash image to somewhere easily accessible (like C:\)
3. Type "fastboot flash splash1 NAME"
For example: fastboot flash splash1 splash3-htcandroid-ns-blue.rgb565

What do you think? Bugs? Requests? Ideas? Post here!

I added it to the main post, too. Thanks for idea!

New splash screen: Honeycomb!

Eighth: splash3-htcandroid-honeycomb.rgb565

Honeycomb's camera background inspired this one. As always, it looks MUCH better on the device!

Error

I get a:

error: cannot load 'splash3-htcandroid-honeycomb.rgb565'

I get that with all of them I dl. I am following the instructions but I'm stumped. I have the file on my C:/ and also on my sd card. Any suggestions? I'd really enjoy using these screens.

try fastboot flash splash1 C:\splash3-htcandroid-ns-blue.rgb565

They're very nice. Can you make one without the htc at the bottom?

Thanks!

Of course! Do you mean all of them, or just a particular one?

Yeah. That's because fastboot can't find the file.

And also, you must cd yourself to root directory of C drive, so the command window looks like this:

The best things, fast and work for me.

- Download roottools from HERE
- Copy file flash to C:\
- Unzip folder 'roottools' in C:\
- Run -> cmd

cd C:\roottools\windows
fastboot flash splash1 C:\splash3-htcandroid-ns-blue.rgb565

That's it.

Thank you. Works fine.

I also want to say that if you have 1.33.00013d SPL you have to "downgrade" it to engineering or haykuro/or something else to flash it.

Nice job.
Thanks.

noob question, is there any way to change this without a computer? like with root explorar

Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App

Sadly not, because the operating system is not able to access it's bootloader (fastboot/hboot) and because of that it's splash1 partition.
