Is there any restriction on the file format or resolution of the image to be converted for use as a boot logo?

Just FYI, there's also a bunch of bootanimation threads over in the "Atrix 2 Themes and Apps" section.

Indeed it will! But the CM10 bootanimation IMO is one of the best out there. :p

This is actually how to change the screen before the animation ( Cm9 has one of my fav boot animations on a side note )..... Would give it a try the one in the op is nice..... Also you will still be able to get to recovery the same way when led lights tap vol down......

Thanks

Thank you very much for this trick. Works very well in my atrix 2. I have set the BIonic img as my boot logo.


A very good resources for customized boot logos are the bootanimation.zips (custom & default). They are QHD mostly and work easily as boot logos

Help

I asked this here yesterday and got some good responces, so thank you, I then figured out how to do it, and was shocked at how easy it was. This is the logo I set now.
here is the bin file to flash if you like mine: Below are the steps to create your own super easily. If anyone does not have photoshop, feel free to pm me your image and i'll do the tweaks so you can flash it.

1. create a 540X540 image
2. merge into 1 layer
3. go to the channel mixer (image > adjustments > channel mixer)
4.select red output channel and change the red value to 0 and the blue value to 100
5. select the blue channel and change red to 100 and blue to 0
6. hit OK, note that the colors will look weird now, but will show correctly on the phone
7. save image with .raw extension
8. rename the output file to logo.bin
9. to make things easier, move it to the same folder as fastboot so that you will not have to type directory names, or you can type out the whole directory.
10. turn off your phone and turn on while holding both volume buttons, chose AP fastboot
11. open a command window in the same folder as fastboot and type
Code:
fastboot flash logo.bin logo.bin

it will take a second or two, then when it succeeds, reboot to see your new logo!

can please post how to change boot logo for Xperia pro.

    Guys sorry I just cant understand Im a noob..Do we have to create a fastboot folder or is it aldready present?? And do we have to set up adb for this command to work?

    I'm not really sure what you are asking. All you are doing is flashing it with fastboot, so if the fastboot executable and the file are in the same place, it is easier, since you don't have to type the whole file path out. And, this only uses fastboot, you shouldn't need adb for anything.

    Hi there,
    I need to know how I can edit my existing bootloader. As u see I have rooted my phone (QMobile noir A10 same as micro max canvas2 A110)
    As I installed some custom rom,cone rom bootloader got struck so I trying to fix it I install another bootloader.zip n well now that is struck n wouldn't remove when I install a new custom rom.
    So any idea how to remove that so the proper logo image comes before the animation logo of the custom rom.

    And any idea how to fix my shut down charging battery icon as it is replace by a small weird lcolour line n goes black.

    Find the XDA forum that is meant for your specific device. You'll probably find instructions on how to reflash your stock rom.
