How to replace the ADVENT logo on the boot screen.

The screen resolution is 1024x600.

How to replace your Boot Screen:
Create and save your bootscreen as a PNG (if it is smaller than 1024x600, your bootscreen will be centered, transparency will result in the ANDROID boot glare effect).

1. Connect your Vega to your PC's usb.
2. Turn USB Debugging on in the Applications menu.
3. In command prompt / terminal, browse to the directory containing adb.exe, type:

Code:
adb-windows pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk /framework-res.apk
This will copy the framework-res.apk from your Vega and save it in the directory adb.exe is located.
4. Open framework-res.apk in WinZIP / WinRAR or similar and browse to /assets/images/
5. Replace android-logo-mask.png with your bootscreen and save the apk in the same format, overwriting the original.
6. In your already open command prompt / terminal window type:

Code:
adb-windows remount
adb-windows shell rm /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb-windows push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
7. Reboot your Vega.


********* Reducing the file size *******************
If you want to reduce the file size of your new framework-res.apk file, you could delete the following files from /res/drawable/:

nvidia_wallpaper01.jpg
nvidia_wallpaper02.jpg
nvidia_wallpaper03.jpg
nvidia_wallpaper04.jpg
nvidia_wallpaper05.jpg
nvidia_wallpaper06.jpg
nvidia_wallpaper07.jpg
nvidia_wallpaper_dual01.jpg
nvidia_wallpaper_dual02.jpg
nvidia_wallpaper_dual03.jpg
nvidia_wallpaper_dual04.jpg
nvidia_wallpaper_dual05.jpg
nvidia_wallpaper_dual06.jpg
nvidia_wallpaper_dual07.jpg

Also you can remove all *.ogg from the following directory /system/media/ringtones

@percy25 - are you just copy/pasting all this stuff from the modaco forums?

Everytime I come and refresh here, it seems there's another thread with the same info... :)

At least give some credit to the users from other places, who've done the work already?

Good point Monkeybot451, Updated Post.

I have moved my Post "Advent Vega - ROMs / Software Updates / Guides / How Tos, Links to ROMs, Flash Updates, Guides, Misc apk's" from Modaco to here as from now will only be maintaining it here.

Seriously that just sucks and I think unfair I honestly don't see this community growing the numbers MoDaCo has.

Good luck with it though but these kinds of attitudes make me dislike this forum. Seems like cutting and running for no reason to me.

I didnt mean to upset anyone!

I have just found the XDA Developers fourm more open to development as its free to all (Instead of the charging scheme modaco uses). I believe updates should be available to all for the community to benefit.

To keep everyone happy I will maintain both post to benefit all. :)

Hi Percy, yeah thats true, still you don't have to pay MoDaCo still use the forums I honestly like the idea of two separate forums doing different things that I can take the best from both and hopefully contribute where I can ;)

Cheers mate

Please note that this is a very easy way to lock your device.
I tried to change my boot screen and got stock in booting due to "insufficient disk space" issue, and had to reflash the device.

True, I been in that situation many times. I sometimes find if you use a "adb shell rm" command to remove old framework.apk first, this can help.

I have updated the attached framework-res.apk to include the following:

  1. Android Boot Screen
  2. Battery Colour changed to Blue (instead of Green by default)
  3. Removed the Nvidia Wallpapers to keep file size down.


Link to File:
File name: framework-res.apk File size: 6.49 MB


See the first post for instructions on how to install.
