Guest MarcusHenrique Posted May 31, 2010 Report Posted May 31, 2010 Morning all (at least here :()! Does anyone knows if it's possible to change the first image that shows up at boot? The one before android logo. Because since I flashed one chinese update in april I get this chinese operator reallyyy ugly logo at boot. Not even the last official RMB 2.1 upgrade changed it. I know it's not a really a problem but everyone enjoys cosmetics in their mobiles :( Thank's!
Guest Josh04 Posted May 31, 2010 Report Posted May 31, 2010 The file is part of UPDATA.APP, and is flashed to some special memory. It'd take some effort to replace in the file, and then you might fall afoul of a checksum.

Don't know why RBM upgrade didn't reflash this =/

Guest MarcusHenrique Posted May 31, 2010 Report Posted May 31, 2010 because RBM is not UPDATE.app file Yes, it is, the switzerland one at huaweidevice.com
Guest goce.nakov Posted May 31, 2010 Report Posted May 31, 2010 Yes, it is, the switzerland one at huaweidevice.com ahhh...sorry then, I was thinking of RBM ROM from Zero

Guest Josh04 Posted May 31, 2010 Report Posted May 31, 2010 I think a lot of the non-T-Mobile ones have the Huawei logo.
Guest Rizzly Posted May 31, 2010 Report Posted May 31, 2010 Aha, so if I got this right, this logo is even before the boot-logo and thus we can't change it?
Guest MarcusHenrique Posted May 31, 2010 Report Posted May 31, 2010 Aha, so if I got this right, this logo is even before the boot-logo and thus we can't change it? Yep, that's it! =/ Most vanilla phones has Huawei logo like guy said couple posts ago. I used to have it and it was nice, now this uglyyyyy chinese logo I can't stand it!! You have U8220-6 right? Have you applied that update and got this logo?
Guest zerosignull Posted May 31, 2010 Report Posted May 31, 2010 the pre boot logo is changable. its an rle file. google and you will find
Guest MarcusHenrique Posted May 31, 2010 Report Posted May 31, 2010 (edited) the pre boot logo is changable. its an rle file. google and you will find Nice! I'll do it now. Thank's EDIT: I think it's possible to put whatever we want! Look this Paul's thread: http://android.modaco.com/content/software...-a-modaco-logo/ I'll try it now, report back soon! EDIT 2: Failed (remote partition does not exist) I guess I need to find out what's Pulse's equivalent for this =S EDIT 3: As you can see in this thread http://android.modaco.com/content/t-mobile...splash-screens/ Pulse doesn't have a splash partition, so the one I want to remove is hidden in the bootloader... I guess I'll have to get used to this chinese higienic paper alike logo =/ So sad... Edited May 31, 2010 by MarcusHenrique
Guest eckengucker1 Posted June 1, 2010 Report Posted June 1, 2010 (edited) I saw the file somewhere while I build my ROM. Edit: Yep is in the Kernel-root Tried that: So you want to join the party and flash your own boot image, but its a weird undocumented format and you don't want to spend all year researching it in the source. Well, I'm here to help. It is actually very simple. Start with an image you want to use, make sure it is 320x480 with 8bpp color. (In my examples, I'll use splash.png: PNG image data, 320 x 480, 8-bit/color RGBA, non-interlaced Just make sure you have ImageMagick installed, and the utilities from the source build. (Specifically, rgb2565.) $ convert -depth 8 splash.png rgb:splash.raw # Make sure it is 460800 bytes long! $ rgb2565 < splash.raw > splash.raw565 # Triple-check size before flashing! 307200 bytes $ fastboot flash splash1 g1-splash.raw565 $ fastboot reboot Lets break it down. the convert turns it from a png (or any supported image format) into a raw 8-bits-per-color no-alpha data file. This file should be 460800 bytes - no more, no less. Next, rgb2565 converts that file to a raw 565 16bit file (for the framebuffer on the G1.) This file is exactly 307200 bytes long - if its not, you messed up somewhere. Finally, you use fastboot to flash the splash image and reboot. Instead of the B&W T-mobile logo, now you will see your custom splash screen. Congrats! :( Source: http://www.gotontheinter.net/logo.rle Edited June 1, 2010 by eckengucker1
Guest Josh04 Posted June 1, 2010 Report Posted June 1, 2010 We don't have an exposed splash1 partition.
Guest MarcusHenrique Posted June 1, 2010 Report Posted June 1, 2010 I saw the file somewhere while I build my ROM. Edit: Yep is in the Kernel-root Tried that: Source: http://www.gotontheinter.net/logo.rle This steps won't work since we don't have a splash partition. And I believe the one you saw at kernel isn't splash since I can apply whatever rom out there and won't change first splash. As I said everything indicates that the splash file is in the bootloader (if I wipe my phone and power it on screen is still there). Therefore it's impossible to accomplish by a normal human being like me.
Guest eckengucker1 Posted June 1, 2010 Report Posted June 1, 2010 (edited) I've just read in a german board that the framework-res contains .rle too. Edit: Had a look and there wasn't any rle-file Edited June 1, 2010 by eckengucker1
