[I9305] boot.img Splash Screen

[djb77]

Hello.

I'm trying to customize the Boeffla Kernel (I9305 port) with a custom splash screen.

I've worked out that I need to use a initlogo.rle file at the root of the ramdisk, however I can't get the image to display properly.

I've atached two images, the first image is what the splash screen is supposed to look like, the second image is a photo of my phone showing how the image turns out.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

That typically happens when you're using the wrong size to convert the image. Make sure you're using 720x1280 and not any other resolution

I did use 720x1280, so it is the correct size (the image have been been reszied for the forum)
Is there a certain way the mage should be saved (Index, RGB etc?)

What are you using to convert the image to an RLE file?

I'm using the app from this thread here
The only thing I can guess is maybe this app might not be the right one

 

[djb77]

Still having trouble with it.
I don't want to give up on this, even if it takes me a while. I'm sure it can't be that complicated

BUMP
Any help at all? I'm still stuck with the same issues

Questions:

Is there a initlogo.rle there that you're trying to replace ?

If yes, can you provide both rle files?

 

[djb77]

There is no file I'm replacing just inserting it. The res is 720 x 1280

Can you attach the initlogo.rle that you created?

 

[djb77]

You can use the same image in the OP

That's a PNG, i need the RLE you used to create that double image error.

Here you go...I had to zip it because the forums don't like RLE images

I'll need to check it at home... but i suspect the rle might be badly encoded.

How did you make it by the way?

Using a PNG to RLE converter that I found on XDA. I dare say that somehting was encoded bad for this to happen.
If I knew exactly how it was to be encoded (or had the right encoder) I would be right hopefully.

It's just that I would probably want to create more splashes in the future, and even though I'd be grateful if this file was fixed, I'd also like to know how to make them properly in future

Here lies the catch: RLE is a means of encoding anything.

IF my memory doesn't fail me, you need a RAW file encoded in RLE. Now, you might need a RGB565 RAW file...

Still seem to be having the same issues.
Is it possible since there was no initlogo.rle there that it isn't properly supported by the kernel?
I know that it does show something when I put one there, but maybe there's something that needs adding to show it properly.

I've been digging the source code looking for logo loading code... and i suspect we MIGHT be missing something, i'm failing to find this instruction: load_565rle_image

So it might not support that format at all by stock. It's weird how it does read that file though.

You should pm DerTeufel1980. He's managed to accomplish adding a splash screen to his kernel for the Note II.
