[Q] replacing the second splash screen "htc quietly brilliant"

Twisted politiks · Aug 18, 2010 at 5:14 AM

ive been messing around with the VZW_bootanimation.zip and i cant seem to figure out how to change the splash screen that comes up after the first one. i've tried to replace the image, using the same exact settings and keeping it in png format, but it just stays blank until the droid animation pops up. im using the new leaked bootanimation that came with the froyo leak.

Here is a walk through Ive written up for changing your boot animation to one that you got off a site. Is that what your looking to do?

Plug in phone
reboot to recovery

Code:

adb reboot recovery

Once booted in to recovery do

Code:

adb shell
mount -a

It will give you this error. Thats fine (It's just saying it couldnt mount the sdcard which we dont need right now.)

Code:

~ # mount -a
mount -a
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk1 on /sdcard failed: Invalid argument
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 on /sd-ext failed: No such file or directory

now type exit to get back to your computer prompt.

Now push your bootanimation.zip you want to /system/customize/resource

Code:

adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource

now now get back in to adb shell and type

Code:

cd /system/customize/resource

then ls *.zip and it should look like this. l = lowercase L

Code:

/system/customize/resource # ls *.zip
ls *.zip
bootanimation.zip         VZW_bootanimation.zip

Now we want to rename the vzw boot animation to .back to save it

Code:

mv VZW_bootanimation.zip VZW_bootanimation.back

Then we want to rename the new bootanimation to the vzw bootanimation

Code:

mv bootanimation.zip VZW_bootanimation.zip

OPTIONAL STEP: IF YOU DONT WANT THE DROID SOUND ON BOOT

Code:

mv Droid.mp3 Droid.back

type exit and adb reboot . It should now boot with your new boot animation.

Thanks for trying to help, but what I'm trying to do is change the image that comes up during the new animation "htc quietly brilliant". I already have the bootanimation I just want to switch out the png

It's possible that one is hardware dependent. It was on the G1 I thought...at least I never saw it changed.

Twisted politiks · Aug 18, 2010 at 6:17 PM

What do you mean by hardware dependant?

There are two folders in the bootanimation.

One contains the Quietly Brilliant image. The other is the boot animation.

Twisted politiks · Aug 18, 2010 at 6:42 PM

Yea and I have tried switching the one in the folder with the quietly brilliant but when I do it just stays blank for that part of the splash. Is there a certain format you need the picture to be in besides 8 bit rgb png?

I remember transparencies being a big issue in bootanimations... yours contain any transparencies?

Twisted politiks · Aug 18, 2010 at 9:21 PM

Nope no transparencies

There is a Desc txt file that has to be changed as well it dictates screen size and the order of use...

480 800 15
p 1 0 android
p 1 0 eye
p 0 0 loading

The trick is not to un-zip the entire file but extract (or delete) only the things that require change and push the change back into the zip to overwrite the existing file...

I will def try this...although I read somewhere each ROM is not created equal, even between versions. ie Virtuous2.6 - the files are named VZW_bootanimation.zip and VZW_Droid.mp3...meanwhile Virtuous2.7 is bootanimation.zip and android_audio.mp3.

Tried to, adb push to /system/media/; /system/customize/resource/; /system/data/local/ withouth any luck.

Do you know if I'm doing anything wrong? Updated the WINUSB.inf file to make sure ADB interface recognizes my commands. Still noob, so just not connecting all the dots.

You got any advice? PM me if you do!

Thanks again, I'm gonna try this.

I have the same problem.. I barely have time to troubleshoot it... I converted the r2d2 boot image to png and chose the same 8bit color depth as the original vzwbootanimation.zip. I'm at a loss.

Skyraider has an animation instead of the HTC logo...

Quick question (and my first... hi).

Can one just replace these files using root explorer?

For example, the quietly brilliant image is in a folder called android... can I just replace that with another png file?

I'm definitely interested in this as well - if it's this simple, it would solve a lot of problems. If not.. can anyone point me to a thread on creating your own boot animations?

No you can't, at least on the sense roms. Not sure in ruby or cm tho, probably the same way.

You need to zip the the folders and the desc.txt in a "store" state

Here's a black one I did of the htc quietly brilliant with the htc in green.

Do you have a guide for doing this? I want to use the stock boot animation (minus that annoying Drooooidd sound), but replace the "Quietly Brilliant" screen with a custom png. Is there a quick guide you can point me to, or would you mind giving the details of how this might be done? Thanks

EDIT: Want to replace "Quietly Brilliant" with this image

Any chance of that happening?

Working!

Success!

I used a combination of zerf's ADB instructions and luniz7's suggestions and I got it working!

What you're going to need:

WinRAR
"Droid Incredible Official Boot Animation" from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=759691

1. Unzip the DROIDINC_Boot and then unzip the "bootanimation" file to your Desktop. There should be three files, and folder labeled "android," another labeled "VZW" and a file named "desc"

2. Inside the "android" folder, replace the "HTC Quietly Brilliant" image with the 480x800 png of your choice and give it the EXACT SAME NAME:
"wvga_htc_bootup_android_104f_15fps_005spf"
No changes need to be made to either the "VZW" folder or the "desc" file

3. Somewhere on your computer (I did it in Documents), right click, go to the "New" menu, and click "WinRAR ZIP Archive" - make sure it's "ZIP archive" and not just "archive" (first is .zip, second .rar). Name it "bootanimation"

4. Double click on the bootanimation.zip you just created to open WinRAR. It will show you the contents of the zip folder you just created. It's empty - but we're going to change that

5. In the upper left corner you'll see an image of a bundle of books tied together with "Add" underneath. Click this, and navigate to the desktop where you unzipped with original "bootanimation" (now with your custom png). Click on the
"android" folder and "OK." IMPORTANT! Before you click "OK" the second time, be sure to change the "Compression Method" (in the bottom left corner) from "Normal" to "Store." Alright, now you can click OK

6. Repeat step 5 for the "VZW" folder and "desc" file

7. When finished, simply close WinRAR

8. Move the "bootanimation.zip" file you just finished editing to your "tools" folder in your Android SDK

9. Follow zerf's ADB instructions (earlier in this thread) and you're good to go!

As proof, I've uploaded my modified bootanimation with the "unrevoked" splash image in place of "HTC Quietly Brilliant." Hope this helps!

You have the same rom/config I have, where do I put the bootanimation.zip file.
There seem to be a multitude of places? Thanks.
