Here are some splash images that can be flashed to the htc evo view. It should work on the flyer but I don't have one to test on.

** Your device must be s-off (nand unlocked) in order to flash/install this image **
Installation instructions:
1. Download nameofsplash.img
2. Reboot your device to bootloader.
3. In a command/terminal prompt enter
Code:
fastboot flash splash1 nameofsplash.img
4. Reboot your device and enjoy your new splash screen.
=================================================
-- Instructions to make your own splash image for flyer/view --
-- For windows --
1. Create an image with the dimensions 1024 height 600 width. Save your image as splash.extension (splash.bmp for example, png works, jpg may but I haven't tested it).
2. Rotate your image 90 degrees counterclockwise (windows image viewer is the easiest/fastest).
3. Download splash.zip and extract to a location of your choice.
4. Open new-splash.txt and edit "splash.png" to reflect your image extension (splash.bmp for example).
5. Save the file as new-splash.bat.
6. Move your image (from step 1) into the directory with the .bat and ffmpeg files.
7. Double click new-splash.bat. You should now have a file in the same directory named splash.img
8. Flash the image via fastboot and enjoy!
** Some Notes **
You will notice two files called pull-480x800.txt and pull-1024x600.txt.
These two files are essentially the same except for the size dimensions.
You will want to save these files as .bat (just like in step 5) after editing the size dimensions and image output extension (bmp instead of png) inside the text file.
After pulling you will have a file named splash.extension in the same directory.
The files use the name splash.extension (splash.img, splash.png, etc.) when pulling/creating
When creating a splash.img, the .bat file will look for an image named splash.extension (where extension is what you specified in step 4)
When pulling an image from splash.img, the .bat file will look for splash.img, rename it to splash-orig.img, and output the image according to the size dimensions and extension specified.
I hope this little writeup was easy to follow. If not please feel free to ask any questions!
Heh.... Cool! Just wish I had a View right now....
Is it works with flyer 3G too???

The device doesn't matter - the fact that the Flyer is displaying "evo view" is the problem.

I can make the .img files if you provide the image you want. I'm not the best graphic artist but I can make the splash.img with no effort.
I stated evo view because that's the device I have and test on.
Can you make this an .img file for me?

I'm not the best graphic artist. If you can find someone who is a photoshop pro to edit the image I can make the splash. Sorry .
Can I ask how you made these? What tool did you use? What size image?
I've been using nbimg.exe to make these for all of my devices, but everything I make for my Flyer looks completely distorted when I flash. I've successfully flashed all of the .imgs you've created, so I know it's not my device.
here's a good tutorial -
Edit: link broke
You can also use any of the splash screens or boot animations from the Nook Color and there are a bundle of them out there if you do a search. The Nook color and HTC flyer /View screen are the same size.
I will try to have a write up by the end of the week of how I make the splashs as well as the files I used for anybody who wants to try their hand at making splash screens for this device or any other device.

Cool.
Also, I have a question. The splash screen is the HTC screen right? Once the quietly brilliant comes on it is just boot animation.zip correct?
So those who use fast boot this won't work.

You are correct. Whenever you shutdown the tablet completely the splash screen is the first image you see when it powers on. For people like me it's nice to change it since I don't use fastboot in the event I need to get into recovery or bootloader.

Can you tell me if this is the method you're using..?
Create image 600 pixels wide and 1024 high.
Save it as a 24 bit bmp file called splash1 (any name works)
Put the bmp in the nbimg tool directory.
Open cmd and cd to that directory then run command:
Code:
nbimg -F splash1.bmp -w 600 -h 1024
Take the output file and change the extension to .img
Make sure device is in fastboot and run command:
Code:
fastboot flash splash1 C:\nbimg\splash1.img
Thanks in advance.

I noticed that the old splash screen when flashing a new one still exists occupying about 100 pixels below the screen (where the OS, radio info shows at startup). This has been a problem in the Diamond and Raphael devices. On my stubborness and experimentation I've fixed it (without disregard of bricking it! I thank rotohammer for this!)
So, here you go! Tested working in Touch Pro and Diamond! (thanks to Sevennl for the first one testing it on Diamond )
patchsplash v0.1
- supports Raphael and Diamond Splash screen
Instructions:
- do the steps from on how to change your splash screen from here:
for Raphael : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2709600&postcount=1
for Diamond (item no. 3): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2465195&postcount=1
- BUT, before doing step no. 5 (converting .nb back to .nbh file) run patchsplash
- usage: patchsplash.exe [R/D] <target .nb file> <output .nb file>
example for Raphael: patchsplash.exe R Splash.nb Output.nb
example for Diamond: patchsplash.exe D Splash.nb Output.nb
- continue packing it to to .nbh
- FLASH and DONE!
Correct file size of the final .nb file to be converted to .nbh should be 655360.
Want to revert back to original splash screens? I've extracted T-Mobile/Vodafone/HTC original splash screen for Raphael.
A SIMPLE DONATION OF THANK YOU's IS APPRECIATED. And of course, I'm not liable if you brick your phone
AT&T Splash from navyguy (thanks!) can be found here!

I would love to test but can i just ask, if i have a 480x640 splash screen i want to use, with your method the image will show up under the bottom 100px, or is that the wrong understanding.

no-- that is the current problem right now everybody is missing about 100px data at the bottom of their screen when flashing splash screens for Diamond and Raphael, but with the patchsplash it will fill up the missing data so it will have the true 480x640 splash screen What others was doing before is just have a black splash screen (with an original HTC splash) so it would "sort of" blend with the screen

so doing this would give me my full image (480x640), not the image minus the the last 100px and a black stripe?

I've check the Raphael and Diamond OEMs but it seems the person who uploaded the O2 orginal shipped ROMs didn't include the splash screen, so you might have to wait for a bit...
Can somebody explain me how this works (patch splash).

You cant just click on the .exe in windows. You must enter the commands in a DOS prompt.
IE..
for windowsxp
Start/Programs/Accessories/Command Prompt
That should bring up MS-DOS. Then CD\(whatever folder the patchsplash.exe file is located in)
C:\(Whatever folder)\>Patchsplash.exe R splash.nb splash2.nb
Then continue packing to a .nbh file and flash it. All done.
OK, after some serious searching, I found an O2 Splash I built from back in my early Tilt days. I converted the original 240x320 .bmp to a 480x640 .bmp. Then ran the patchsplash.exe file to create a fully functional .nb file prior to building the .nbh file. I hope this is what you guys are looking for. If not, drop me a PM and I will see if I can find the exact file.
Included in the .zip file is the .bmp and the .nbh file. I have not included the ruu wrapper as I find it much safer and quicker to flash via SD card. Just rename the O2Splash.nbh to RAPHIMG.nbh and drop in your root directory of the SD card and enter bootloader.
I have also attached the .bmp file by itself in case it is not correct and you dont want to flash the .nbh file.
Enjoy.

I wrote a web converter that takes a properly sized image (720x1280) converts it into a IMG file and packages it up into a zip file which you can download, rename to PH98IMG.zip, place on your External SDcard and flash via the bootloader.
YOU MUST HAVE S-OFF for this to work!
This is also ONLY for the Rezound.
How it works.
o You create an image.
o Image must be 720x1280 in size
o Image must be in png, jpg or gif format
o UPDATED WEBSITE: You go to the converter website: http://droid.tnet.com and upload your image
o It converts the image into a downloadable zip file for you to use.
What the converter does
o checks that the image uploaded is the right type
o checks that the image is the correct dimensions
o converts the image to a IMG file
o adds the new IMG file to the android-info.txt file into a template directory
o zip's the contents up using a unique ID
o Presents you with the ability to download the file.
What you need to then
o After you download the file. rename it to PH98IMG.zip
o Place it onto your external sdcard of your Rezound
o Enter into bootloader mode and flash it
When you reboot, the new splash screen will be displayed.
Reference:
The contents of the android-info.txt file is:
modelid: PH9810000
cidnum: VZW__001
mainver: 2.01.605.11
hbootpreupdate:12
Like ANYTHING YOU FLASH... You are responsible for your own devices. These should be fine to use, but make sure you have backups in case!
UPDATED! Website Converter Page: http://droid.tnet.com
This will change soon, but I will update it in this post when I do.
Additional Functions Planned
In the works....
o Upload an IMG file and convert it back to a jpg, png or gif.
o Ability to download just the splash1.img screen from already processed screens.
o Perhaps support for other phones...
Updates
2012-04-29
o Change filename formats for better sorting and to allow additional features.
o Turned on Hot Link Protection. Some users were hotlinking to the thumbnails on the Gallery.
Previous
o Added ability to download previous processed splash files
o Updated website to provide more details and new capabilities.
2012-05-11
o Over 200 Flash Screens generated with more than 100 in the gallery to view/download
CLICK FOR GALLERY OF IMAGES PROCESSED
2012-06-10
o Added EVO 4G LTE Version of this tool
Great work!
you can also pull the splash out of the zip file and flash with fastboot if you want:
fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img
Sounds great plan on trying this out tomorrow. Thanks.

Is there any chance you can make this into a non-site based app/script for windows. Sorry if that is asking too much.
I will be donating asap.
Thanks again
Think I will try this out tonight...thinking Rush's Starman would look killer..

There already is a windows script. It is called SplashFlasher. It is included in a post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1006999
Careful if you use it because it includes code to wipe your Internal SDcard. The android-info.txt in his script includes
Code:
DelCache:1
DelFat:1
which should be removed if you are going to use it. I based the web converter on and found that out while testing (Thanks con247).
I was using that script until I built the web converter. The web interface is really a lot easier... just create the image, and upload and it is all done without any errors. The script does have the ability to flash the splah1.img file to the phone though.
thank you!!!
This is awesome. I will definitely try it out. Not sure on showing what others have done though. For instance, currently there is one that looks to be someone's kids on there. It's a good idea, but I could see it as posing a problem down the line.

Think there are more pro's than cons there... gives people ideas of what they may want and for others to participate that don't have any graphic skills.
I've been watching it and have already removed a few that were not appropriate. They also roll off after 20, The current page is a temp page with the real site in the process of being built.
The full site will have an option for the poster to check off whether the image/zip can be public or not after conversion along with a number of additional options such as downloading just the splash1.img file, and converting an img file back to png, jpg or gif.
Currently, all resulting files are pretty anonymous with so unless they include names, nobody would know who created what. Same idea as http://www.acme.com/licensemaker/licenses.cgi
Thanks for the tool.....made it a breeze to quickly make this....

Updated Link to New Website
UPDATED Links in OP to the new website. This is a more general website that will have other tools and tips in the future. It has had the Web Generated added to it along with details instructions on how to use the zip file in the bootloader with screen captures and more.
New Website: http://droid.tnet.com
Awesome tool!!! It doesn't get any easier or BETTER than this.
Great work... and THANK YOU!
Actually it does... Should be adding the ability to create recovery flash splash pages this weekend.

Yup.... it really had to do with the mail system, not the generator, but since the generator sends me an email when it does something, I needed to take it offline. The email allows me to make sure someone hasn't uploaded something objectionable that might be in the gallery.
Rebuilt the entire mail system from the default one installed by the system to the same one I use on larger mail servers to get ready to do some other stuff. Took a lot longer than I thought it would as I am not as familiar with that OS platform.
Someone (perhaps you?) just made a Bulls logo, I added a slightly different non-squeezed version. It is in the gallery.

I installed this theme and everything worked fine, however I wanted to try your raven theme so I removed the theme from the theme folder and I'm stuck in a bootloop. The phone phone starts to boot then goes back to the white HTC screen and just keep looping that screen. I've uninstalled trwp 2.6.3 and still the same thing. I can get into bootloader as well as recovery I can flash zips and preform back ups but all with the same outcome. Any suggestion???? thanks in advance.

Are you s-on? If so try fastboot flashing your ROMs boot.img. I don't think it is theme error. Did you dumlock to recovery and forget to restore boot? If so, the fastboot flash will fix it.
Reason I suggest that is I have done that a few times before I finally just s-offed

i also agree deleting or adding a twrp theme will and should not do this...its not flashing anything at all as its just overlapping images from the ui.zip really....i do also suggest if s-on flashing the boot image of your roms kernel...the only way i se anything messing up is an accidental deletion of the wrong file...only thing that should be removed is the ui file as posted in this or my other threads

Hey REV3NT3CH, I finally got around to playing with this TWRP theming and, if you would be so kind, I have a question or two about the process... please. I have a pretty good grasp on the methodology -but- have you gotten the "curtain" splash image to work? I have looked around and tested some but with my first attempt, I keep getting the stock TWRP splash image. Maybe this is baked in by the TeamWin folks? Also, looking into your UI.zip. are some of the images "working images" that are not explicitly used? I know that some of the themes use the dual row larger square buttons and some use the single row more rectangular ones. Thanks for the thoughts! I am still learning as I go!

i believe the curtain image is baked in...ive tried changing it via the ui.zip and just didnt work....all other images assign itself to somewhere except the preview image (shows what the theme looks like stock)....if youd like i can look into the curtain image a little more again
With curtain image you have to decompile than replace the image and recompile. I've also tried gif animation but gifs don't work lol

Thanks... you to bunchies! Don't worry about it. I just hoped that was a possibility. Yet, if you find a secret to make it work in an easy fashion, let me know. I appreciate your thoughts and I hope you don't mind if I use your xml file as a template

cd Desktop/Recovery
./unmkbootimg recovery.img > output.txt
mkdir ramdisk
cd ramdisk
gunzip -c ../initramfs.cpio.gz | cpio -i
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
hit enter in the terminal to execute the last line
Do Not Exit the terminal
than use your file explorer and go into ramdisk/res/images and delete the curtain.jpg and paste in the new curtain.xxx (i use a png image)
than go back to the terminal window and..
cd ..
tools/mkbootfs ramdisk | gzip > ramdisk-new.gz
./mkbootimg --kernel zImage --ramdisk ramdisk-new.gz --cmdline "console=ttyHSL3 androidboot.hardware=vigor no_console_suspend=1" --base 0x48800000 --pagesize 2048 -o recovery-new.img

thanks will definately be doing some stuff with this
this guide shows how to change the boot logo, not the boot animation
boot logo is the logo that is shown before the animation
Tools required:
1. LogoBuilder --- http://d-h.st/k96
2. Stock logo.bin --- Get the file from your device (/dev/logo)
3. Required boot logo files, in png format
4. Common sense duh!!!
once you have the required files, extract LogoBuilder
Rename the file from your device (logo) to logo.bin and proceed to the next post
1. Open LogoBuilder.exe
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2. Click Create New Project
3. Select the logo.bin file you extracted from the device
4. Make a new folder for the project, any name will do
5. Select the folder and click on OK
You will see a progress bar running down. After finishing, you will get a whole bunch of images in the above selected folder
1. Open the folder containing all the images
2. Make a note of the sizes of img1.png and img39.png
The desired boot logo file must be a png file having resolution same as that of img1.png
3. Delete only img1.png and img39.png
4. Rename the desired boot logo file to img1.png and paste it in the folder
5. Make a copy of img1.png and rename it to img39.png
6. Click on Make button
In the selected folder, you'll get a file named update.zip
Flash that file using cwm and enjoy the new boot logo

Nice one! I was thinking to set canvas 4 boot logo it looks awesome thanks for the guide.

When making guide, everyone should be careful, at least to post SOURCE of information of software you are suggesting. You mentioned it as "different site", the link to that site was also missing. Wherever credit is due, is due. I hope you will take care next time.
PS: Be kind to main developer @ankadnikov and post your credit on 1st post, not fourth post.
what is the size of logo.bin? in my Alcatel SPOP 4030A is like 300mb o.o
Thanks man
Messed something up
Hello, I know this thread is about a year old, but I hope I can get some help here. I was trying to change the logo on my MTK device and I did not pay attention to the part where you were supposed to flash the finalized file with CWM, I instead just extracted the logo.bin file from the Update.zip and then just pushed it to /dev/ but before doing that I rename the original file to logo.nn Now my device won't go pass the original boot logo. I can get to adb but only to sideload. I've tried the update.zip generated from the LogoBuilder_v1.4 and still cannot boot up. I do not have the image for this device to just flash it and restore everything to factory. I have tried to clear cache and factory defaults thru stock recovery but it still doesn't boot up.
Any ideas?
Thank you!

I hope somebody can solved this issue
Hi. Got my A40 rooted and wasen't happy about the look of the boot logo & warning text, so I did some changes to it.
WARNING:
THIS WILL TRIP KNOX SO DON'T FLASH UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
THIS IS MEANT FOR USERS THAT UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER AND GOT KNOX WARRANTY BIT BLOWN ALREADY
UPDATE, TWRP METHOD
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now with warning (booting_warning.jpg) completly removed so that we can use full screen custom logos.
1/ Flash "View attachment A405-red_warn_remover.zip".
2/ Reboot to recovery.
3/ Flash "View attachment A405_logo_leafes.zip"

Wanna make your own logo mod?
Make sure that the images you're doing has the same characteristics as the original files.
Raplace the images in "A405_logo_leafes.zip" and rename the zip to whatever fits.
Edit the "ui_print" in the update-binary if you wish, but please keep the credit to @moluntic for this awesome script.
(Original thread):[Tutorial][Boot Logo Changer]
read the info there as you can easily brick your phone if it's done wrong.
Remember that param partition acts as an image cache for bootloader and is indeed part of the bootloader partitions.
With that said, please don't share files unless you've tested it yourself first.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OLDER METHOD:
Original ---> Changed to:
Original---> Changed to:
This blacked out so that it won't show on the black logo background.
Unzip View attachment SM-A405FN-param_mod.tar.zip and put the tar.md5 in AP slot in Odin. Connect phone in download mode and start flash.

Hi
To flash this do we need to reset/wipe after? I spent already too much time customizing this device, don't wanna do everything all over again
The warning that warns about booloader and asks to press power couldn't also be blackened or even replaced it with something nicer ((maybe text in black "Custom firmware initializing" ))? If I don't press power device continues boot anyway after a few seconds.
Can you give any tips, or any special care when creating/modified bootlogo? Or, if you have time to make more versions it will be appreciated
Many thanks.
Please do for TWRP
Got no feedback, so I decided to create my own bootlogo and sucessfully flashed it using Odin.
Even put the Magisk logo on it :laugh:
A quick how-to using Windows:
You know the drill, if you manage to damage your device when doing this, it's your own fault!
1. Download the firmware for your device from your preferred server (samfrew updato , select region, version), alternatively jump to the end for faster approach, but you may need knowledge described in next steps anyway
2. Have installed 7zs
3. Right-click the firmware file > 7Zip ZS > Open Archive > then double-click (dc) file that starts "BL.." > again dc param.bin.lz4 > again dc param.bin > extract all files
4. Files to customize are:
booting_warning.jpg
logo.jpg
svb_orange.jpg
Use favorite image editor (Paint works!)
Make sure you keep the default resolution and do not create much bigger files than the originals, a little bit smaller or bigger it's okay, but not too much.
5. Again using 7zs create a tar archive format with the files you edited and the rest you have extracted before, name the archive param.bin (literal, NOT param.bin.tar)
(7Zip ZS > Add to Archive > Archive Format: tar > Archive (name): param.bin)
6. And then again, create another tar file with the param.bin in it (archive name may be anything)
7. Using Odin, load the tar file you created on the previous step to the AP slot, connect the phone in download mode and flash
Alternatively, to save data and time download bootlogo mod from first post, just extract files, edit and repack again using similar manner as described above
(in the end you should have a file with tar extension instead of MD5 because archive does not have MD5 checksum attached, so Odin will not check data integrity)

I've been working some more on this "project" and twrp flashable is working. I will upload tomorrow hopefully.
I managed to remove the black warning as well so that we can have full screen custom logos, like this:
There will be two zip's to flash the first time.
One with stock param, but witout the "red warning" and one zip to finally change the logo / svb_orange by unpacking param in device and replace the images inside.
This will be easier, as we from there on only have to replace two images in a zip to get new flashable logo.
Have already done

Couldn't we had 'fullscreen custom logos' before?
Why did you choose to leave the message of the "svb_orange"? We all know bootloader is unlocked, message is useless and undesirable since boot continues anyway after a few secs (no need to press power).
Anyway, that's what I've done on mine, replaced it with a nice screen, acting as second (boot)logo.

That message doesn't really bother me so I just kept it.
We could have used full screen, but it would have looked like this cause the image is still there, just blacked out.

Yes, of course, I forgot that it just gets overlayed on top of logo image, because my logo is mainly black and booting_warning is black too, it's there but invisible.

Thank you Bro !!
It works like a charm.
Very happy with this mod
Fred.
i know how to make it work with Odin but i was wondering if with the stock recovery it's possible to sign an update.zip containing this mod....
i tried an old zip signer with no luck ( probably it was with an old Android version).

Hello. I installed this patch last july (release without leaves):
- is that version (no-leaves) still available / usable with ASJ firmware ?
- in general, how could I revert mod to the original ? Flashing full stock firmware doesn't affect bootloader area, it seems
I don't have TWRP so I'm talking about Odin releases
Thanks a lot for your work
