[MOD] Custom Boot Screen (for Gingerbread ROM's) - Captivate Android Development

Well I had been getting asked a lot lately about the GB ROM's and my original boot screen packages that I had created where I modified a param.lfs to contain no boot image and allowed a script to place whatever image you wanted in it's place for a custom boot logo. In the past I had edited the param.lfs for the AT&T i897 bootloaders which does not work with the GB boot loaders.
This is not the boot animation, nor the kernel logo, but the first logo your phone displays when it's turned on.
Anyhow, I re-wrote the param.lfs to allow a blank for the logo.jpg that Gingerbread calls upon in the bootloader and it works great. So for all of you that used my boot screen package in the past for i897, i9000 and t959 2.1, 2.2 and 2.2.1 ROM's, here it is again for 2.3+ ROM's.
This should also work fine for Vibrant but I will check in case any T959 people are scoping this out.
These will not be compatible with CM7 (due to the proprietary fs used on param.lfs)...
Big thanks to TRusselo for being a BETA tester, tossing in the latest ODIN package and writing the readme as well as contributing the JPEG's offered in the package. I decided to keep the Canadian boot screens for you northern neighbors on the Roger's network up there...

see above...

Done, soft-bricked (Odin failed) but got back into DL mode and re-flashed. I've got the i896 logo up there now.
Thanks a lot!

yeah odin sometimes does that... the newer odin does that LESS.. lol.
i soft bricked a few times using this.
just keep forcing the params until it passes, no need to go back to stock!
with GB button combos, and the soft brick, i found:
Vol Down + USB = Download mode
Vol Down + Pwr = Soft brick screen.
hope that helps.

Just an fyi to anyone not familiar with it, but you will have to make sure you have your screen active when running the batch file so that you can click Allow to the superuser permission request when it attempts to mount the partition.
This wasn't noted in the readme, someone without much experience might miss it.

Just a question but why are there some screens with "AM HUNG" as the name and not Samsung?

When you soft bricked and reflashed did you have to do the whole rom or just this process in particular?

tuesday morning bump!!!!!

I
have adb installed and working for at least a year now. However, your program just tells me that adb is not recognized as a command. at the end it does say enjoy your new bootscreen and it gives me a screwed up bootscreen. Yes the file is only 96kb and yes I named it correctly. and yes I have usb debugging on and no the phone isn't mounted. I am using mosaic 1. Any ideas?

Have you rebooted the PC? ADB is known to get stuck sometimes. Also retry the process but make sure to close all the adb.exe processes using task manager.

OK I restarted the comp and made sure their were no adb processes running and still your tool does not work it says killing all adb processes and then says adb is not recognized as an internal command. I know adb works because I used cmd:adb devices and it showed my phone. So what is the deal with this program? I am on 7 but I used run as administrator so it should work.

[PROGRAM] Infiniflash v1.2 ~ It makes life easier.

The purpose of this program is to make my life easier when developing on the Android Platform. At he same time it may also make your life easier. I would like to keep this project totally open source and I include all of the source files withing the .zip that it comes in. What does this program do? It will allow you to flash custom ROMs straight from your computer, fast and hassle-free.
In this new version, I have done a ton of error/big fixes, rewrote quite a lot, and finally added wiping functionality. Enjoy!
Infiniflash REQUIRES that your device has ClockworkMod Recovery or any recovery that supports /cache/recovery/extendedcommand.
By the way, if you can think of a better name/icon for this program, please, please, please tell me.

I have a DHD as well and had the same issue. You must install the driver for it to work on your device.
1) Visit this link to download and install HTC Sync (which contains the driver): http://goo.gl/P3ZP1
2) After installation plug your device in.
3) To verify you have the driver, open the Infiniflash folder, hold the shift key and right click on the tools folder. Click open command prompt.
4) Now type in the command: adb devices
5) If your device showed up, it worked! Otherwise, try restarting or syncing your phone in HTC Sync, it should start working eventually.
6) Now that you have the driver, Infiniflash will *hopefully* work from now on.
Best of luck
Cheers.

This looks awesome, and I would use it but is there a different button for wiping to ext 4 and 3? All the roms I seem to switch between use different formats.
Thanks

By wiping to ext3 & ext4 do you mean formatting the /system partition to one of those formats? If so I might be able to implement it or make an add-on . By the way, which device requires you to do that? I've never heard of that before... are you sure it's a requirement?
Oops Double Post.
Has anyone successfully used this program?
even tho i cannot use this app as i am on linux i will salute your development as this app is a great idea. thank you for your contribution. wish i knew more about programming and could help port this over to linux but alas...

Thank you very much! I think I'll port it over soon, but the only bad part about that is that I have no idea how to make GUI's in Linux so it would be command line only .
It's funny that you mention that though because I'm a Linux user myself and never really thought about it.

[Q] Package Installer Missing!

My rooted phone crashed the other night - wouldn't boot passed the Galaxy S screen. So I wiped it clean.
When I tried to install a program, the Package Installer was missing from the list of actions.
I flashed back to stock ROM.
It's still not showing up in my actions menu.
When I go to settings/applications/ALL - it shows Package Installer at 0.00B.
What the heck?
Odin back to stock EC05.
How-To video by qbking77
One-click Root (updated to latest CWM release)
Stock EC05 Tar file (not rooted) hosted by k0nane
MD5 hash: 4ea4dfea809c1a6d59b9fccf9e939f35
I already unrooted and flashed back to stock using these instructions: http://samsungepichacks.com/samsung-epic-hacks/how-to-unroot-samsung-epic-4g/
I will try the method from the website you suggested now though.

Never heard of that website and it keeps timing out on me.
You're better off using the video linked above to Odin back to stock. This will erase all your data, so either start from scratch or back up your apps and whatnot.
Bad news...I followed the instructions from your suggested video.
Put on SPH-D700-DG27-8Gb-REL.tar
Still...the Program Installer doesn't show up on the ACTIONS menu!
It goes Music, then Phone, the gTalk Settings....
Grrrrrrrrrr.
Any other ideas?
So are you trying to side load an application? Meaning you have "Unknown sources" checked under the Settings > Applications menu, and have an apk file to install.
The phone won't install that apk file? Or are you looking for something else to happen when you touch the file on the screen?
If none of the above, then I'm lost at what you're trying to accomplish.
Correct. I'm just trying to load up some apk's that I have on SugarSync/DropBox/SD Card/etc. Unknown Sources is checked.
When I click on the apk - it gives me the action menu. None of those actions is Package Installer. It used to be there, now it isn't. I've loaded all my programs this way in the past.
I tried Odin again and put on the EC05 tar file. Same result. No Package Installer listed in the actions menu.
Man, I just don't know. This is my first time reading of such a problem on the Epic forum.
Using Odin and that tar file gives you 100% stock Froyo. You can then install apk files once the "unknown sources" option is selected.
Did you re-install any other applications after using Odin or restore your data? That could be your culprit, which would mean you'd have to start from scratch (aka clean install).
Starting from total scratch.
It's a mystery.
The only thing I installed was SugarSync so that I could get to the files.
I even tried downloading ASTRO File Manager and using their installer that shows up on the actions menu. That used to work to install...but it doesn't anymore. It just sticks.
I guess maybe I need to go to the Sprint Store. Good thing I flashed her
Does your Package Installer show up as 0.00B in the Settings/Applications/ALL menu?

Same Problem
I just bought the Motorola Triumph for Virgin Mobile and I have the same problem. Well a similar problem. I went to see if there was an OTA update and it says "Install Package not found". So I went to the All list of applications and my Package Installed is 0.00 also. I did notice that a lot of other system apps are 0.00 also. Here's the list of them:
Account and Sync Settings
Activation Utility Service
Aging Test
Android Live Wallpapers
Android System
Battery Parameter Upgrade
BlueToothTestMode
BTtools
CDASYS
Certificate Installer
DbgCfgTool
E-Compass Calibration
Env_Runin_Vibrator_Tool
Fallback
FM Radio
FQC Program
G-Sensor Calibration
GasGaugeLogging
Gps Deleter
Home screen tips
HTML Viewer
Live Wallpaper Picker
logtools (I had two of these)
Magic Smoke Wallpaper
Media Container Service
Package Installer
Pico TTS
SD Card test
SIM Toolkit
Sound Recorder
System Update
Terminal Emulator
TTS Service
Voice Dialer
VPN Services
Wifi Comman
Wifi Test
It's a pretty extensive list. I did root it, but I know I had the update problem before I rooted it so I don't think that did anything to it. Hopefully we can figure out why they are messed up for both of our sakes. Thanks!

Wow man... I'm glad you were able to assist the people affected, but the attitude/negative tone is unnecessary. I just saw the post requesting me [or anyone for that matter] to share the files.
I stated that using Odin to go back to stock may be best. He/She was discussing a problem with what many would consider a core function, being able to install an application. Finally, CWM often gives bad flashes, so in my mind it appeared to be a logical suggestion to start with 100% stock and work from there to find the culprit.
I did not share the APK files because I got busy, forgot about the post and missed the request.

lol srry matey i mean the acer logo boot screen, i got the nice blue flashing alienware alien head for animation credit to JaeKar99
Kay..... I've been fiddling around trying to find a way to do that myself..... I'll let you know if I ever find anything useful :fingers-crossed:
I've managed it on my Viewsonic GTab but no luck on the A500 so far
Ok guys, here ya go.
First. All credit goes to Skrylax_CZ and blackthund3r. All I did was record the process and post. skrylax_CZ's thread is here.
My setup for this is a Win7 64bit pc and an A500, stock rooted with V8 bootloader. You will be prompted to plug in the tablet at the appropriate time. So for now have it unplugged from the USB.
What you need.
A charged Tablet.
Installed V8 Bootloader by Scrylax_CZ (You can use V4 through V7, but your image will need to be 268x72. in other words... tiny. All images below depict an install with the V8 bootloader.)
A complete backup. (This is, after all, at your own risk.)
Your SBK number or your CPUID so you can get your SBK.
Current A500 drivers from Acers site.
An Image that is 1280x800. (If V4-V7 bootloader, use 268x72.).
Skrylax Green Background zip
(Or if V7 or less go here and grab the appropriate zip, not apx.).
Skrylax_CZ's BootLogo tool
And blackthund3r's APX flash tool
Here we go. Create a folder and unzip the three packages that you've downloaded. You should have a folder that resembles this.
{
"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 select and open the folder named 'A500BootLogo_105_v8plus_win'. Open the program A500BootLogo.exe. You will see this.
Choose 'File' then 'Open'.
Browse to the folder where you unzipped your files and open the 500_a501_bootloaders_apx_ics_v8_green folder. Choose the file bootloader.bin.
You should see this.
Choose 'Image' then browse to the folder where your new bootlogo image is. THE IMAGE MUST BE 1280x800!!!
Here is mine.
That's Daisy!
Now I see this...
Next choose 'File' and then 'Save'. Name the file whatever you want, just leave the .bin extension alone.
Close the Bootlogo tool. Now choose and open the folder blackthund3r_A500_APX_Flash_Tool_v0.4. Open the application A500APXFlash.exe.you should see the image below. Click the blue arrow.
Enter your SBK number. Then click the blue arrow.
Select to 'Choose the files you want yourself' button. Click the blue arrow.
Tick "bootloader" then hit the arrow.
Choose the file that you named and saved earlier. Hit the arrow.
Time to plug your tab into the usb on your pc.
Skip this, just hit the arrow...
If you are rooted, choose to dump your BCT. You won't have but only one button until after you've completed this. The pic shows three buttons because I already have the files. Once it is finished hit the arrow.
Choose the 'Automatic' tab then "Enter APX Mode" button.
If your drivers aren't in order you will see this. Oops! (If this happens to you. Just make sure your tab is unplugged from the pc and download and install the drivers from the links in the window.)
If your drivers were (or are now) up to date you should get this after clicking the arrow.
The program will start it's job. You will see this on your tablet. It is my old BootLogo and at the top left it says "Entering Acer Download Mode".
Next you will be asked if your tablet is in APX mode or something like that. If your screen has the message at the top left as mine did the choose yes.
The program will once again begin working. Once it has finished you will see this.
And the program on your pc will be asking you to power down and then restart your tablet. When you restart you should see your new bootlogo! Here's mine for now...
Hope that clears that up just a bit.
nice guide, thanks for this:good:
yes nice one JdgM3NT4L cheers or that fella i could find that one anywhere
so i cant do it on the v7? damn lol
once again cheers for finding that for me,
also HEY DIBBZ!! LOL :highfive:

Well, yeah you can do the same method using the v7 bootloader. Just make sure that your image is 268x72 instead of 1280x800.
Also goto Skrylax_CZ's download page here and grab your bootloader version.zip
It's just gonna be a little picture that fits into the area where the ACER is now.
But for a full screen shot of Daisy goodness you gotta go with v8.
EDIT; My post above is now updated.

Is there a way to change this screen to?
Thanks sooo much for your help.

[Utility] Desktop Rom Flasher!! (Drag Drop & Flash!)

Hello everyone, so I developed a small application called Desktop Flasher. All you need to do is drag the zip you want to flash and it'll automatically push it to your phone, write the appropriate script, and reboot you into recovery, and perform the flashing procedure. I hope to add new features (wireless support) as time goes on. Try it out and tell me what you think

FAQ
I get a failed to push script/or during the first run program it can't detect my device in recovery mode!
You probably don't have the drivers installed for adb in recovery mode. It's easy though! Follow this quick guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379875
Okay, so the program says "Great your Phone will do the rest" and my phone reboots into recovery, but nothing happens...wth??
Most likely the issue is that you're using a recovery that doesn't support openrecoveryscripting. (The official version of CWM and TWRP do)

Yes, just make sure USB debugging is on, and your drivers are already installed.
will it work with a Galaxy Note
Custom Rom and cwm
I made a few themes and had always to copy over the zips and flash them via phone
so I would be really happy if it will work on my device

Cool. Yeah this should work on any device, I and any recovery with Openscript available (TWRP and CWM). I haven't tested cwm but I can confirm that it works on TWRP.

Alright, I think I figured it out. Does the location you're dropping from or the zip itself happen to have any "spaces" in the name? E.X. D:\documents\my rom\rom.zip
the zip definitely not,
but I look at folder on pc tomorrow,
now it's off already
will report then

Alright Cool.
Released a new update, it'll fix possible flash errors in recovery.
jup, it was the spaces in the zip :good:
but now it shows: Failed to push Script
the files are copied to phone correctly

Okay, I just released an update that'll fix it. To update the program just open it, then hit the exit button, and it'll update. The problem was with some devices you can't push to /cache unless you're in recovery. When I'm running sense it works fine, but whenever I switch to AOSP, I would run into that issue. Fixed now
I used the new one v1.1
sorry, I just saw there's a 1.2
will try it again

I just tried it with the new 1.2,
but unfortunately it booted into recovery without doing anything else,
it´s like I would boot into recovery manually
then after a few seconds it pops up again: Failed to push Script :crying: :crying: :crying:

Hmmm...alright. Lol thanks for being my only dignified tester haha. Okay, can you do me a favor. Download the zip I attached to this post, and run the recovery.bat file. (It'll reboot your device into recovery and attempt to push a file to your cache after a 25 second delay) and can you tell me the output. (Whether it pushes or gives a permission error) Thanks.
no problem m8,
I'm lucky to test a tool which helps me later
I'll test it later, bcs I have to watch a horror movie right now,

Verizon Fastboot Flash System Fix

I had problems flashing the system with fastboot on my Verizon Moto X because the file size was too large. I saw others come across the same problem. I remembered that I used a moto fastboot one time back in the day so I did a little research and found it again. This fastboot splits the file up so that it can be flashed normally. It should use all of the same commands. I put it in posts before, but since I see people still having the problem I figured I'd make a thread for it. You run commands just like you would in fastboot except for when you type "fastboot" change that to whatever you name the file you download from the link below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953948
***This is just a replacement for your old fastboot,exe.
UPDATE: here is another link to a place that has moto-fastboot for mac, 32 bit, 64 bit, etc. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138092
When I open this it says my computer is missing components? Weird I was hoping to be able to use this to flash system to get back to stock and keep my data.

Did you put it in the same folder as your original fastboot? Not sure that matters. I didn't think it would but maybe fastboot pulls certain things from sdk platform tools directory that I don't know about.
I'm assuming your old fastboot worked right? maybe not updated drivers? works perfectly for me.

opens? what you talking bout willis? you should never open the file. you run the file through command prompt... you need a link on how to use fastboot or do you know how?
edit: I see that my OP might have been misleading. That file is just a different fastboot file. You still need to manually go to fastboot to flash your system img. PM me if you need assistance with that and Ill guide you through it.

Ok, I didn't realize you run the command and tell it to look at mfastboot, but I got er now. Worked like a charm (with heart pounding for fear of failure!) Thank you for the link and your assistance, my phone is back to stock without fxzing. I used the thanks button!

This is weird. These files are very different. Not a criticism or warning, just an observation. http://i.imgur.com/WRHhrLn.png

From what I have read, moto created this fastboot or edited it to run better with their devices. But I honestly don't care what the code looks like as long as it runs correctly. I wouldn't even know which fastboot coding looked more weird anyway.

check the pm i already replied to. I don't think you are actually running the new fastboot file. you are just running the old one and think you are running the new one.
The linux one from the same linked thread worked fine from me. It was just a fastboot executable and i replaced fastboot on my machine with it. Running fastboot flash system system.img worked just fine
