ERRR!!
i already prepared dualboot kernel with the bootscreen psoted above
it looks gorgeous btw
agreed...
i actually really like that green one...
anyways...
u guys decide which u want...
for now i am using this one personally:
How do you implement those?
Do you have to re-compile the kernel, or is it just a matter of repacking the boot.img or kernel.img? If so where is it stored?
And what are the properties that needs to be met in the boot image.
png, raw bitmap, jpeg, color settings 8bit, 16bit, 24 bit?
I'm a graphic designer so would love to know that, so I could customize my own boot image.
I've created some animated boot images (the one that comes after the kernel boot image) but those are easy to make.

yeah i would like to know this as well, id quite like to make some of the text pulsate brighter for the boot screen as well if possible
ok so this is wht need to be done:
- unpack/dump boot.img
- u will get (raw) kernel & ramdisk.gz
- dump ramdisk.gz u will get cpio ramdisk
- dump cpio ramdisk u will get all CORE ramdisk files
- for bootlogo/bootscreen the file we need to change/add is a file called logo.rle OR initlogo.rle
- once u have the .rle file placed in CORE ramdisk files then repack ramdisk to ramdisk.gz (with cpio, correct permissions... followed by gziping them)
- once ramdisk.gz is ready use that one and (raw) kernel and pack it into boot.img
- done!
on how to modify rle files well thats another story
BTW u need lots of tools/binaries for this to work (currently)...
Chumbby_666 (aka aZuZu) is working on implementing all this, including custom bootscreen/bootlogo selection (and conversion) in his new tool...
he will release it when its ready... PLEASE DONT BUG HIM!!!! [or me ]
Really valuable information this.
That was nice to know. I'll start reading up on rle's and start making my own bootlogos.
Big thanks for the reply!
ya that exact info is hard to come by i was hunting for that for some time..
there are lots of specification available for rle file... there are various threads at XDA itself...
if u want i can send u the conversion tools... but they are all command line tools ...
i would recommend that u wait for aZuZu to make a nice GUI for them in his app...
Well I'm used to doing cmds. I'm on Linux
So would be cool if you could send it my way.
I managed to make the phone last 4 days without charge today. Amazing.
Ofcourse I don't use 3G and only 2G networks are used, but still..I do about 2 hours music and 1.5 hours wifi, and a few text messages, and usually I get 2 days, but not this time

How to backup and restore your data easily:Originally Posted by smartgardens
Hi Guys, I just want to help some of you who want to use the link2sd app in this rom, i have provided a link of the tools you need with easy to follow instructions, you do not even have to take your sdcard out of the phone, please though before you try anything, make a backup of your sdcard on your pc.
Once you have made your partition, open the link2sd app, give it superuser permission and then start moving your apps, please be aware that apps which have widgets are to be left on the phone memory or they not work.
Lastly, any questions about setting your partition are best aimed at the thread there not here out of respect for Erick, the tool provided in the thread makes the process easy, so do not be afraid to try and the benefits are for a faster cleaner phone.

How to enable boot-animation?
It should not work when restoring between different roms or Android versions due to changes in framework. If your try make sure to wipe cache, dalvik cache and fix permissions after restoring.
