As you might have guessed from the title, is it possible to change to boot logo on the Pixel 2 XL? I know I can change the boot animation easily, but I have never modified the Pixel 2 XL before and I don't want to mess up. Any help is appreciated

There's been many times late at night laying in bed with the lights off and I reboot my phone and forgot to look away. I think I have caused damage to my eyes lol can I get a welding mask over here?
Very upsetting that out of all the things you can do to the device, changing the bootlogo isn't one. I mean, even on Samsung phones you can do it... Says a lot. Guess I'll just have to close my eyes while it boots :crying:

Yeah, I'll agree with you there! And I believe it's called the splash screen if memory serves. At least that's what it was called in my DINC days. What a great device that was! :good:
Well all we can know for sure is that the (horrific) boot logo is stored somewhere on the device. It's also most likely stored in one of the boot partitions. However, we don't know how the bootloader processes the file, or even what format it is in. Nothing that a little rummaging around can't find out (hopefully)
Update: Yeah the image files are not on the boot partition/s. But I have found them (I think). There are a bunch of .raw files on the abl.img file in the firmware (I'm using the android p beta 4). The files are called like: Charger.bin.raw, Unlocked_Pause.bin.raw and NS.bin.raw, and so on and on. I don't know what to do with these raw files, so any ideas are very VERY appreciated.

How do you change the boot animation on a Pixel?? You said it's easy, but I'm having trouble, although I am new to this so I must be missing something. Please explain.

Ok,... My Hero gets delivered tomorrow (my 1st Android device), and I want it to be completely my own. I want to make my own bootscreen... but want to know two things,...
1,... If the preset one already on there loops over and over, or if it just plays once?,... If it does loop, can i change it to only play once?
2,... What size the file of the preset one is so can try making mine roughly the same.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

The stock bootscreen is made of 2 gif files. the first one runs 1 time, the second one loops until the phone is done starting up.

Basically anything up to 320x480. And keep them indexed 255 colors. Then if you have images smaller than 320x480 you place them with a config file.

File size doesn't matter that much. Of course there is an upper limit, but I have made all the way from 50kb up to 8mb bootscreens.

With Motorola's new logo being unveiled (I'd share the link, but can't as a new member, so just google "Motorola New Logo" if you haven't heard yet) I thought it might be nice to have it in convenient boot logo form. So, here's three options: The logo with text on white; just the logo on white; and just the logo on black.
To install these reboot to fastboot mode, and type "fastboot flash logo <path/to/your file here>" and reboot.
Cheers!

You're very welcome! If you don't mind me asking, which did you flash? I couldn't decide which I liked best when I put them together last night.
They are all very fresh and clean. Good work!
The hardest part is choosing which one to use
Could you also make a quick boot animation of these logos (just one frame) for consistency?
I hate to ask, but how about one on black with the text?
Thank you for creating these.
Looks like this:
Anyone have screenshots/pictures of these? Would love to see how they look before I go flashing. I see what the new logo is on Google, but I'd love to see the actual effect

Actually not quite; for reasons (which I don't understand) the red and blue channels have to be swapped for it to look right.

You're most welcome! It literally took longer to upload than to actually change, so seriously no worries. I left the gray as is, but if you want more contrast let me know. Or any other change you'd like.

I'll look into how one goes about creating a boot animation; as soon as I've got it figured out I'll get it posted for you.
Thanks for the addition. I was thinking logo/text on "black", but the gray you chose also looks nice.

Love the way these look thanks! Wish there was a version of the M logo on black with the "Google Company" text on there as well. Since there isn't I'll be using the white with text. Will this replace my annoying "Warning Bootloader Unlocked" screen too?
Quick question though and maybe one of you can direct me in the right direction. I just unlocked bootloader the other day and installed TWRP so I'm new to this kind of thing. Can anybody direct me to a link or quickly explain how I "fastboot"? Thanks!

yes this will get rid of the unlocked bootloader message in fastboot you need to use this command fastboot flash logo (logoname.img) just remove the () and replace logoname with the name of the one you are flashing but leave the .img.
to get to fastboot download http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2249773 it will give you fastboot along with some other useful stuff u may need. then drop the recovery img in the same folder and then shift+right click in the folder and select open command prompt here then just type in the command i put and it will flash then just reboot.
this thread tells you how to make your own http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901444 i used it to make one that matches my avatar
Thanks so much! Will be doing this the minute I get back to the office. Much appreciated!

Any chance you'd be willing to center the logo and text together? Right now it's just the logo that's centered. It looks great, mind you. But I'm OCD. Although I am a graphic designer by trade, so I guess I could figure this out if not. Just having trouble opening an IMG file in Photoshop. All directions seem to be geared towards gimp and I have Photoshop so no need for any additional design programs.

also, rename the .img to .raw, and then photoshop should open it. Same thing with saving; save it as Photoshop raw, and then just change the extention to .img.
Ask and ye shall (eventually) recieve. =]
Just seeing if any Dev could help get this started. I was looking around my phone the other day, and found where these specific images were. I also would like to know if the images have some sort of hidden data that make the phone recognize them or not. I think there could be some cool things made out of this!
Aren't these rhe symbols you see when charging the mobile turned off?

re-lock the bootloader.
I remember there was once a dev bounty up for this somewhere on XDA.. sure sucks that its there but I don't think theres a way to remove it
There was a way on the old Moto X 2014 but I'm not aware of one on the Pixel 2.

Aren't you a smart cookie
More importantly can someone make an app that hooks up to the internet so we can calculate the total man hours in the millions lost on these screens that should at most flash by. lol.
But for real, which file do you think i need to hack at to remove this trollishly long screen? Im assuming the boot.img, or atleast who do I sue after my doctor says it gave me cancer? (/notroll)
Just, dont reboot phone too often, LoL,
So that we'll never see that stupid useless annoying screen.
If I remember hearing correctly, this is part of the bootloader partition and cannot be modified. At least that's how it was with my Nexus 6P.
Just like on the 6P, I wear that message on my sleeve like a badge of honor!!

No tattoo?
Plus removing it will most likely brick the Pix XL 2!
I know it's not a solution, but it looks like if you press the power button to pause and then again to resume booting, after pressing to resume it boots immediately.
So I guess double press the power button to skip the screen?
Just don't look at your phone while it's booting. Easy

I can almost guarantee that no dev will spend the kind of time needed to figure out a workaround to remove this warning and save 5 seconds on boot process...
That's my badge of root honor
Idk if this is a thing for pixels, but is it possible to change the boot logo/animation for when the phone turns on?
I too would like to know the answer to this. My best guess is we will need root. My pixel is carrier locked and as far as I know I can't root till I get her unlocked. So I'm betting I won't be able to make even this small little change.
As a follow up....my first search results
Google brings Material You to your Pixel's boot screen
The latest feature drop brings the dynamic color themes to your boot-up animation
www.androidpolice.com
So theoretically yes we can use homemade themes. If we can get around the security. Which is where root comes in handy.

I saw one thread in the general Android hacking/modding forum where someone with a Pixel 6 was making a ROM for themselves and was having an issue with their custom boot animation. It wasn't compiling or whatever due to the animation zip they provided. But that's all I've seen on it.
Edit: My Pixel 6 Pro is a Google version and the bootloader is unlocked and I'm rooted.
