Splash image slight problem...

[Guest Lew247]

I followed the instructions for the Desire here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=795132 to change the splash image

it goes fine till I try and flash it to the phone (well it seems to anyway)

it fails saying remote: unknown partition name

I'm guessing the steps shown should work fine, I just need to tell it where to go?

to save people looking here is what it says to do once you have converted the image you want to use

in command prompt type fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img

Thats where it fails

Help? Please :)

I followed the instructions for that phone because it has the same screen resolution and only being a noob with 8 days Android experience I'm a bit stuck now

edit just tried changing the file name to splash.rgb565 and flashing that over but it still dont work

SUCCESS

I finally tried (experimenting) to flash it to splash instead of splash1 and it worked

the only probem is the image is upside down (easily fixed) but is a bit wierd, its not centered properly

anyone able to help?

I'll upload a pic of the phone with it on in a moment

Photo taken on the splash image (clickable)

you can see how the picture is shifted to one side.

(its crystal clear on the phone,) I used a nokia to take the pciture so its a bit blurred, hard to hold 2 phones still at the same time

Don't know about it being shifted but it's upside down because the screen in the SF is actually upside down, most of the time the libs deal with this and put things the "right" way round but the splash is obviously not one of those times.

[Guest Lew247]

any ideas about the picture being shiften to one side and then being wrapped? ie the right hand side of the phone screen is actually the start of the picture

EDIT:

I finaslly managed to get the picture centred

I use paint and drew a lightly coloured background 480X800

I made the image I wanted narrower than 480

I pasted the image into the coloured background left justified (ie a larger space to the right of the picture)

Converted and flashed it and its now perfectly centred

No idea why it wont centre pictures properly, maybe someone else know

I've only had an Android phone for 8 days,before this I Was all Nokia, so its a learning process for me by trial and error

Hopefully someone knows the proper way to do it and get it right

Anyone know what the 2nd spash screen is called?

I got it to display the picture I want, it displays for a few seconds, then goes to the Green Android robot picture for a few seconds and then the boot animation

I need to find out what the 2nd spash screen is called, or where i is or both

second one is hidden in boot.img
