How to create custom boot screen - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was able to replace to Moto logo on the droid x wiht an app. is there any way to do the same with the htc logo on startup?

There's a thread round here somewhere for custom splash screens. Search it out.

Call of Android (boot Animation)/CM7

just wanted to let you guys know that http://www.xda-developers.com/android/call-of-android-boot-animation/ this does work on Cyanogen's CM7 ROM.
I used pushed it to the /system/media and it worked perfectly. I used Android Commander.. .
but i just thought i'd throw it out there.
I flashed this a while back when my buddy wanted me to put it on his evo. It lasted about 3 reboots before I was like....ehh, enuff!! I keep ending up going back to the android zap apple one. Its got such a clean and crisp look to it.
Thanks for the post though. I am sure there will be plenty of people that like this

Have you gotten the sound to work?

I don't care about boot sounds so i cannot comment on that. I've not done anything to "make it work".
Yeah, no sound on my end, just checking if that is the case for everyone else
can't decide between this one and his HALO Reach one, I did pull the "We Are Android" image out of the HALO one to use as my splash screen. the dude did an awesome job on these. just gotta try and get him to do an AC2 or AC: Brotherhood one now.

yeah it was put up the Dev (I think) and I know the sound works with the DHD and DZ ports.
edit: yeah I knew it was posted with the sound so I was trying to find that one.
kind of funny side note... parked my big rig for the weekend and the wife saw me on the computer and said "can't you do something normal like playing your Assassin's Creed or God of War instead of geeking it up with the phones all the time" lol
Aight. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I have dowloaded the flashable zips but when I try flashing them from recovery but it wont let me.

You do not flash a bootanimation.zip. You have to place it in the system. Depending on the rom you are running, there are 2 different places you could have to place it
In the second post I said flashed but I meant pushed/placed .

most likely the speed of the animation is to slow. you can try to readjust it or try reflashing it.

3g icon to 4g tbolt icon

I searched but couldnt come up with anything. I saw someone who did this in the post your homescreen thread, and it was kind of cool. Has anyone tried this? If so is it possible to make a flashable zip of it? I tried to find the post i saw but i cant seem to. Thanks in advance.
why would someone change it since all fascinates are on 3g and will remain on 3g since we don't have the hardware for 4g

i know it wouldnt change us to 4g but i feel its just another customization. I know if would have to represent our 3g coverage, i just thought it would be neat to change the icon.

ive considered it but between the wife and kids and 60 hours a week at work, time is tight. I guess its part lazy too, but if no one is interested its all good. Knowing the two of you guys who are big on here have no interest that convinces me to drop it.
heres a link if anyone would like to change theirs, i know its dumb but i like the look. obviously credit goes to OP.

i have it going now but how long should it take for it to reboot it just keeps spinning saying working
don't think the link posted works for us
I did it exactly as posted with those 2 colors and it worked fine...im on sc 2.9.2 if it makes a difference...doubt it does though. remember to hit end project and dont zipalign, you can hit yes or no on the next pop up i hit no though. then reboot.
i don't get a pop up after if i want to zipalign like it says and i am on sc 2.9.2 also which is weird and i can not figure out y it just keeps looping

maybe try to reboot and try to start a new project again. I did give it time to finish, maybe 2 mins max. then rebooted right away, it didnt reboot on its own.
EDIT: i am an idiot i forgot to turn on usb debugging that was my problem thanks
I want to change mine to 5G...really freak people out about how I'm a secret phone tester.

No problem guys.
I just wanted a splash thread that wouldn't be forgotten because its harder for newer users to find them.
And people don't switch splash screens too often so the threads aren't as updated.

Just had a conversation with notsointeresting, he said he'll work on it for you. Should have it posted once he gets back from "vacation" on the 10th.
Notsointeresting is it possible for a splash screen of your mother exposing her breasts with my name written on them? Kidding.
Looks nice dude
all credit goes to original poster - all you ahve to do is swap the android-info.txt in the files with zips from those for the shift.
voila!

not sure - all this zip includes is the splash img and shouldn't mess with anything.
anyone else want to try?
Could you make one with the beats logo w/ a black background?

[Q] blurry screen?

Does anyone have the Samsung word at boot look blurred? It's totally clear on my infuse.
It's like that on my Skyrocket as well. It starts out clear then blurs up but the desktop and everything else is normal.
Its supposed to be "glowing"
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
OK then. They should keep the glow, so I don't think I need stronger glasses!!
There are 3 splash screens:
1: Non-glowy samsung, this is displayed by the bootloader
2: Glowy samsung, this is displayed by the kernel
3: AT&T/Android boot animation, displayed by the bootanim service
Helps to identify where your development work is running into a wall depending which splash screen you make it to
Thanks Da_G for that info. Now I know there is a very good reason why I think I need new glasses now. Lol. Hopefully those distinctions will get custom roms up and running! Can't wait to void my warranty!!!
white screen looksore like blue/gray

Does anyone else have their screen look like it has a blue/gray hint to it? (whites don't look white especially noticeable with the at&t bootscreen)

No thank you!! I think the original Note is big enough! Almost too big.
But at times it is great, at times not so great. I flip between a smaller phone at times.
When the phone boots, force yourself to look away. Its hard to do, but I know you can do it.

which one are you referring to? Both are pretty smooth on mine but on rare occasions I notice it will hesitate. I"m guessing its just the loading of the files that's causing it.

wierd, when I restart from holding down the power button and it does the quick reboot, there is a little lag but when i reboot from the quickboot app and does a hard reboot, its smooth. (btw, I'm on nils 3.0 (no APM) give it a try and let me know if you have the same results.
