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_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

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

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.

I designed these 2 (View/Flyer) clean and simple splash images today, Feel free to use in custom roms, or personal usage..

** 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....

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.

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.
Updated March 24th, 2013. Process much simpler!
Difficulty: EASY!
Time: Approximately 5 minutes
Tools Req: PC & HP Touchpad
How to make it:
Using Keepvid.com:
1) Rip the mp4 video from any supported video site and save it as "1.mp4". The video must be at least 30 seconds long.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Using my custom Touchpad Bootanimation Builder Script:
2) Extract the script files, and paste your video in the folder with the batch script
Warning! Your antivirus might think the zip is dangerous because of the bat file, I can assure you with my kitten's life that is not!
3) Run the run.bat file.
4) Copy the bootanimation.zip file to your device.
How to Install it:
Install method A:
5A) Download and install ROM Toolbox Lite from the Play Store.
6A) Navigate to Interface>Boot Animations>Local> and choose your bootanimation.zip
If your Rom is AOKP (with Rom Control in settings)... you can select it from Rom Control>General UI>Custom Boot Animation
Install method B:
5B) Copy your new bootanimation.zip from to your SDCard into data/local using your File Manager (Root access required, check your File Manager settings)
Install method C: Thanks to MindSplit and TedSamaha.
5C) Store your new bootanimation.zip inside bootanimation_install.zip (Download Here) at "data/local/bootanimation.zip".
The file must be 'stored' using WinRar or 7zip, as it cannot work if its compressed!
6C) Flash bootanimation_install.zip in your recovery.
Easy as pie!
If you want to use the script to make a custom boot animation for different android device, you simply have to edit the .bat file in notepad and change 512x384 to your device's resolution (or half resolution to save space), and as well in desc.txt

Yes, I understand you can push the bootanimation.zip through ADB but that requires the SDK. This method is simple, and works.
As for creating the png files, I wouldn't know how it can be done easier.
Thanks for sharing this. Nice & easy just the way I need it.

Hi, quick question, how about adding sound to the boot animation? I tried already the steps on another thread but it isn't working for me, thanks for the guide as well!

I have yet to try out the sound capabilities of the boot animation. But from my method, you can simply convert your 30 second mp4 into a separate mp3 file in FreeMake Video Converter, and then follow TedSamaha's guide:
Now if you want Sound in the bootanimation:
1) Download "soundatboot.zip" and Flash it via Recovery
2) Download "bootsnd.sh" and place it in /sdcard
3) Then open terminal emulator and type
Code:
su
cd /sdcard (space after cd)
sh bootsnd.sh
4) Reboot
5) Finally rename "bootsound.mp3" to "android_audio.mp3" and copy it to /system/media

Thanks for the reply..but this is the guide that I followed and it didn't work, unfortunately TedSamaha doesn't follow his thread I guess cause a few other people also have posted about not being able to get the sound in the bootanimation and he has not replied to their questions. Well I may have just to forget all about it...thanks again.

A possible solution could be to push the .mp3 file to /data/local
using adb u can:
adb push android_audio.mp3 /data/local

Thanks TedSamaha, I will try to do that but before I need to go to a hp store to see if they can fix my usb port cause my computer doesn't recognized my touchpad any longer..it is not the computer..it is the port cause it is the same with any computer..and that's why I hadn't done it that way before..but thanks for the tip anyways...:good:
I created a 30 second file. When i split into pngs i geet 721 pngs and then the bootanimation does not at all appear. ?
Just a note to everyone. It is normal if your bootanimation_install file is very big!
I just wrote a super simple script that does all the work for you!
The OP has been updated! Let me know how it works! :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
Nice work man. Thanks again for sharing.

Do I download it on my PC or tablet?
Disclaimer: Now in this thread I shall be sharing some full screen Boot Animations for our 720p screens that I´ve modified. My contribution to these animations was to increase the resolution of the graphics to 720p so that they would cover our full screens, optimizing the base jpgs so that the file sizes were as reduced as possible without compromising the image quality and restructuring the corresponding zip packages, but that was all. This means that these animations are not my original work, only modified by me, and since I only found the original contributor to just one of these three animations I would love if you guys could tell me if you know who the original author of the base files was so I can credit him or her accordingly.
Hey all!!!
Now here´s the first boot animation of this thread, the same Razr M HD 720p Boot animation I posted before on my other thread but now in Vibrant Blue for all of you who have either ROMS or just themes that go better with blue than with red (Like me, for instance):
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now to install, and please remember that YOUR PHONE NEEDS TO BE ROOTED for this to work:
1.- Download both of the files that are attached to this post to your computer.
2.- Once both these downloaded files are in your computer, unzip the droidsm.ogg.zip file and extract the droidsm.ogg file inside it and put it together in the same place or folder with the bootanimation.zip file. At this point you can delete the zip that contained the ogg file you extracted and just keep the bootanimation zip and the ogg file in the same folder in your computer
3.- Copy both the downloaded bootanimation.zip and the extracted droidsm.ogg files to a folder inside your phone.
4.- Using your preferred android File Manager (Root Browser, ES File Explorer, etc.) go to the folder System/Media of your phone. Within that folder, there should already be a file named bootanimation.zip that holds your current boot animation graphics. Rename that existing bootanimation.zip file to bootanimation.zip.bak, so you can easily go back to it later on if need be.
5.- Now still using the File Manager, go back to the folder inside your phone into which you copied the downloaded bootanimation.zip file and the extracted droidsm.ogg file from your computer, and either copy or move them both to the System/Media folder of your phone.
6.- Once the new bootanimation.zip file is in your phone´s System/Media folder, you NEED to change the file permissions for the bootanimation.zip to rw-r--r-- under the file´s properties (or 0644 if your file manager asks for the attributes code instead).
7.- Do the same permissions change for the droidsm.ogg file and set its permissions to rw-r--r-- too.
8.- Now with those changes made, you can exit your file manager, reboot your phone and just enjoy your new amazing Droid HD boot animation!!! :victory:
P.S.: If anything goes like it shouldn´t, just go back to the System/Media folder of your phone using your android File Manager of choice, and then delete both the bootanimation.zip file and the droidsm.ogg file that you previously copied in there. Then just rename the bootanimation.zip.bak that should still be there back to its original name before you changed it (by removing the .bak from the last part of the file´s name). Reboot and all should be as it was before .
MachineAzul 720p HD
Now to the second Boot Animation of this thread, this one is in my opinion one of the most beautiful Boot Animations ever made for Android, and it looks even more astonishing at 720p resolution. This one has no sound, but it´s so pretty in my opinion that it doesn´t suffer any for it. Here you go:
Now to install, and please remember that YOUR PHONE NEEDS TO BE ROOTED for this to work:
1.- Download the file that is attached to this post to a folder in your computer.
2.- Copy the downloaded bootanimation.zip file to a folder inside your phone.
3.- Using your preferred android File Manager (Root Browser, ES File Explorer, etc.) go to the folder System/Media of your phone.

Rename that existing bootanimation.zip file to bootanimation.zip.bak, so you can easily go back to it later on if need be.
4.- Now still using the File Manager, go back to the folder inside your phone into which you copied the downloaded bootanimation.zip file and either copy or move it to the System/Media folder of your phone.
5.- Once the new bootanimation.zip file is in your phone´s System/Media folder, you NEED to change the file permissions for the bootanimation.zip to rw-r--r-- under the file´s properties (or 0644 if your file manager asks for the attributes code instead).
6.- Now with those changes made, you can exit your file manager, reboot your phone and just enjoy your new amazing Droid HD boot animation!!! :victory:

Then just rename the bootanimation.zip.bak that should still be there back to its original name before you changed it (by removing the .bak from the last part of the file´s name). Reboot and all should be as it was before.
RAZR M HD ICS Blue
Now this third one I can finally!!! credit to the original poster, he posted a 960x540 version of this file in a Galaxy S3 thread and it was easy to resize and adjust for our needs. Full credit goes to user Kryten2k35 for this contribution!
Now this is yet another version of the RAZR M full screen 720p HD Boot Animation, only this time in the Light Blue ICS theme color. I understand this much lighter color is the preferred option for the ICS based roms and for some versions of Cyanogenmod, either way here it is for your enjoyment:
Now to install this one, just follow EXACTLY THE SAME INSTRUCTIONS as they appear on the first post of this thread, and you should be golden. Enjoy!!!
AWESOME!!!
I just tried every single one of them and you guys rock!!!!!!

Hi, I just tried installing the first boot animation you posted but although I set the permissions for both the bootanimation.zip and droidsm.ogg correctly, I'm not getting the sound when I reboot my phone (LG Optimus G E973, not sure if it matters). Can somebody give me any explanations for why this might be?

Without wasting anytime, I would straight go to the main topic.
P.S - Boot Logo NOT to be confused with Boot Animation.

Well, it is one of the files found in the stock firmware (tar.md5) file. Looks like it contains various images used by bootloader or kernel. (It may contain other functionalities also, but its what I can tell you because it is what I have understood by exploring it).
Where can I find param.lfs?
In stock firmware, just browse its contents using WinRAR or 7zip etc. It will look like :
{
"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_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
What is there inside param.lfs?
There are many jpg files which is used by bootloader. (Once you go through them, you will find relevance). It will look like :
How is param.lfs related to boot logo?
If you explore param.lfs, you will find a file called logo.jpg. Thats it, the BOOT LOGO.
Is Samsung showing its 'class' here again?
Well, in various other phones, the boot logo is present in the root folder of ramdisk, however, in this case, boot logo is compressed inside param in respective partition. Changing boot logo in other devices seems pretty easy, but in this case, the param block must be decompressed, then make necessary changes and then recompress it back.
But the good thing is that, images are present in simple jpg format in our case, but in others, they are in .rle format, which is needed to be converted to jpg for modification. It is obviously possible through certain tools.
About the boot logo changing utility, the main job was done by the OP of this thread. My job was to identify correct partition and make necessary changes in the script.
Installation :
1. Flash it using CWM v6.
2. Now reboot to recovery (option in Advanced Menu).
3. Once you reboot to recovery again, now perform normal reboot.
The zip file has stock image, so if you modify, mod that very image. The image must be of 240x320 resolution and of 72DPI. Also the file name must be logo.jpg
Download : Here
In case you mess up, you should be able to use button combos.
Will this work with SMP -900 Samsung Galaxy Note pro 12.2?

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"
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

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

Hi tys0n, nice work!! Could that procedure (or something similar) also work for a A70 (SM-705FN/DS) with TWRP?

Perhaps files and directories are différents...
