Need help creating custom splash screen on EVO

I'm new to this and just need a tutorial on how to create custom splash screens on a Evo. If any one can show me or post a link that be great.

Download this and unzip it. (On your computer)
http://db.tt/YLmI87K
There's a how-to included in there that tells you how to use it.
Sent from my HTC EVO 4G with Tapatalk

there's also a program called nbIMG, along with the one mentioned above.

Thanx working great!!

These instructions work for anyone who rooted using the "UnrEVOked" method such as that given at HTCEvoHacks.com. I have not tested these instructions with any other root method out there.
For the sake of these instructions, all references and instructions dealing with PhotoShop are assuming you are using PhotoShop CS5. Cammands may be slightly different on older versions of PhotoShop, so it may take a few extra clicks to find what you're looking for.
1. You can download custom boot images from the web, or create your own in PhotoShop using ANY sort of photo, graphics, text, or combination. You MUST make sure that the image size is set as the same for the EVO's screen resolution (480x800). For this reason, I would double check any image file you try to use prior to converting it for use with your phone.
2. Open your image file in Photoshop and make whatever tweaks or enhancments you like. Remember to "flatten" the image prior to saving it out if you have multiple layers in your file. You can use the next step to resize the image first if you like, but depending on your current settings in PS it should not matter.
3. Right click the file window (the one that contains your image) and set the "Image Size" settings to a width of 480, and the height to 800. These measurements MUST be in pixels as well. If you have the "Constrain Proportions" box checked, you may not be able to tweak these individually without affecting the other. So uncheck that box and change the size settings. Click ok to close the box and the image will resize within Photoshop.
4. After you have finished creating your custom image, flattening the image, and resizing it to fit on your phone's screen, it is time to save the file. Navigate to the "file" menu and click "save as". Here, you can choose where to save it, name it, and choose the file format. It's probably easier to go ahead and save it as "splash" now, so that you wont have to rename it later. Either way, this file MUST be named "splash" when we are in the final stages. Save it as the "BMP" format, and you will get a pop-up window for the BMP options. "File Format" should be set to Windows... and choose the depth option of 24 Bit. The "compress" and "Flip row order" boxes should be unchecked, and you do not need to go into any advanced settings. Once you have saved the file, You can close PhotoShop.
Now the File needs to be converted from the BMP format into an IMG file. This is so that the bootloader in your phone will see it when you flash it to your phone.
There are a few conversion tools out there, but I have found Splash Screen Creator to be the EASIEST way to convert the file with a few clicks.
The link to download this small program is here... http://www.addictivetips.com/?attachment_id=43073 ... and it is FREE!!! (I did not create this program)
1. Download the .zip package from the link above.
2. Extract the files. I found that creating a folder on my desktop to secure these files (and these files only) to be less of a headache.
3. After you have extracted the files, you are ready to convert your "splash.bmp" file. You MUST move this file into the same directory that you unzipped the Splash Screen Creator to. It will only find the bmp file in the same directory, which is why having its own folder is easier. Move your "splash.bmp" file to the same folder and open "RUN THIS ONE". This will open the program in a command prompt.
4. Choose option 1 to convert your existing .bmp file into the required .img file. The next option will ask if you would like to flash the file to your phone. This option is not necessary for these instructions, but I have read of others being successful. You can try this option, but if it fails, go on to the remaining steps.
5. Go ahead and close the program by pressing another key to exit. You should see your new "Splash.img" file in this same directory. Rename this as "splash1.img"
Now that I think of it, naming the BMP file to "splash1" prior to converting to the .img format may solve the error when trying to flash the file to the phone
within Splash Screen Creator. The img file MUST be name "splash1" prior to updating it in the bootloader in the next steps so it makes sense that the program would come up with an error at this point. I have not tested this theory at this time, but you are welcome to. If someone does test this, please update these instructions
to save from many unnecessary steps below!
Your next steps require access to your original "PC36IMG.zip" file that you used during your root process. If you do not have your original "PC36IMG.zip" file, you
can try to download one here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8913849&postcount=156 ... I have not tested this file yet, but worth a shot if you dont have it.
1. Make a COPY of your "PC36IMG.zip" file and move it to your directory where you have worked with the custom splash files. This saves from getting confused between files and flashing the wrong one to your phone. You're also making a copy so that your original "PC36IMG.zip" file is NOT altered.
2. DO NOT unzip the file! Simply drag your "splash1.img" file over to your zipped "PC36IMG.zip" folder and copy it in there. If you get a prompt to overwrite an existing "splash" file, go ahead. Afterall, you are working with a copy of the PC36IMG.zip.
3. After you have added the "splash1.img" file into the "PC36IMG.zip" folder, you can now move the zipped folder over to your sd card. Make sure that it is the ONLY copy on your sd card, and that you have not placed it in any other directories. BOOTLOADER WILL NOT FIND IT IF IT IS IN ANOTHER FOLDER!!!
4. AT THIS POINT YOU WANT TO BE SURE YOU HAVE BACKED UP YOUR ROM!!!! YOU WILL LOSE YOUR CURRENT ROM AND DATA AFTER THE NEXT STEP!!!!
5. Reboot the phone into Bootloader by holding the volume down button and pressing power. The bootloader will find your "PC36IMG.zip" and ask you if you want to update. Press the volume up button to say YES! Grab a coffee, chug a beer, or take a piss, cause this step takes a few minutes.
6. Once the bootloader has finished it's update, reboot your phone. it will now display your new custom splash screen!!! (but you're not done yet)
Because you updated your "PC36IMG.zip" files in the bootloader, you have in effect reflashed the stock rom (rooted of course) back to your phone.
Allow a few mintues for your phone to boot up, log into your g-mail account (so that you have access to the market), and download Rom Manager (or your favorite backup
manager), and restore back to your rom!
Like I said before, I have only done this on the HTC EVO that has been rooted using UnrEVOked through the process explained on HTCEVOHacks.com. I have no idea if
this process will work with other configurations, and I accept no responsibility for the outcome of your actions!!!!

Can't u flash these also ??

They're "flashed" in the bootloader, as a PC36IMG with the file being respective to how you rooted. You can also "flash" them using fastboot, but that can only be done if you're on the .76 bootloader.

[Guide] How To Create TWRP from Mediatek Stock Recovery

Hello guys...
We all know that a custom recovery is far more important thing i rooted phone. But since we're talking about mediatek,its hard to find a suitable recovery.
Now these days,its very easy to create CWM based recovery through Mtkdroidtools. But,CWM is quite a oldschool yo!!
But TWRP is awesome!! Cuz its touch based and far more easy to use...but its so hard to find mediatek TWRP,so this guide will be helpfull i guess!!
~~Requirements~~
1.A computer with Windows 7 32 bit
2.The stock recovery.img[it can be found in your phone's stock rom]
3.TWRP script>>
Download link>> htt p://www .me diafire.com/folder/ca6 n5bb8 ocu87/TWRP_an d_CWMR
Download "Port-TWRP-V2.4.4.0-MT6589.7z" file from that link!!!
Now extract that 7z file and put the folder in your computer's C:// drive.....and put your stock recovery.img in C:// too.
Now open That extracted folder and you'll see a .exe file. Run that file as administration and a command window will appear.
Now it'll ask you to put your recovery.img in C:// and that is already done. So press Enter and follow the next steps. It'll ask you too put your device's chipset,resolution....so enter correctly.
When it is all done, close that Window and you'll see a folder is created called "Ported TWRP" open it and you'll get your newly created TWRP recovery.img. Copy that in your sdcard and flash it via latest Mobile Uncle Tools and voila!! You'll be rebooted to your TWRP custom recovery!!!!!
N.B>> this process is only for mt6577,mt6589 and mt6575.
Hit thanks if you like it.

[MOD/HACK][Flashable zip]Modify splash screen

Hello everyone!
I made a thread a while back showing you how to manually create and modify the splash screen of your phone. I found this a little bit too hard for the average user, so I created an automatic system that does it for you and the ONLY thing you need to do is create a .png image!
Let's go.
Temporary download(getting upload error 500 for downloads section): Download
Included in the downloadable zip file, you will find 2 things:
1: The application to convert your .png image to a kernel .rle image, this is a simple tool, click to select file and press convert.
2: A flashable zip that 'hacks' your kernel to replace the current logo, similar to the way multirom injects itself into your kernel
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Requirements:
1: A compatible .png file: WARNING! This is important: your image needs to be exactly 1080x1920! I do not know if your phone will still boot without the correct image!!
2: A computer
3: Your phone
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Know issues:
Only works with kernels that have used LZMA compression!
This means that it will work with most kernels but a few.
examples:
DOOMKernel
More? Report any non-working kernels and I will add them to the list.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How to:
1: Extract the contents of the zip to a directory of your choice.
2: Open the 'XZ1RLECreator' folder and launch the application: 'XZ1RLECreator'.
3: Press the select file button and choose the correct .png image (name does not matter).
4: Press Convert.
5: The tool will convert it to RAW and will then convert it to a rle image.
6: Once done you will find the converted image in the 'Output folder' it is named: 'logo.rle' (do not change the name).
7: Copy the 'XZ1RLEModifier' zip to your phone.
8: Copy the 'logo.rle' file to the root of your internal storage (/sdcard).
9: Reboot your phone into recovery and flash the 'XZ1RLEModifier' zip.
10: If no errors occur reboot your device and you should now have a new splash screen.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If the zip fails to install it most likely has something to do with the kernel. If it fails to install please reply to this thread with the following information:
Kernel name
ROM name
Android version
Recovery used
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This tools is in alpha stage and was tested using only TWRP! I am not responsible for any damage that was done to your phone, but this will only touch your kernel so flashing a new kernel should fix any issues.
Enjoy your new splash screen,

The image you chose might not be working maybe the phone cannot load it or something, IDK you might want to choose a very simple image to try it out with

Sure, I'm still looking for new image to test with LP SlimKernel, using TWRP 2.8.6.0....

[GUIDE] How to Create Splash Screen (Boot Logo) for Le Pro3

Note:
This is not bootanimation, this is the splash screen (the 'LeEco' boot logo which is displayed when device is switched ON)
This is for LeEco Le Pro 3 Only..
For other devices, please send me your splash.img so that I can create a tool for you too..
Requirements:
1. Rooted LeEco Le Pro 3 (any ROM)

3. You're proceeding at your own risk.
STEPS to create splash.img:
1. Download & Extract this in computer: Le_Pro_3_Splash_Maker.zip
2. Make sure you have 3 pictures (same or different) in 1080x1920 px resolution in PNG format.
(Actually, it seems Le Pro3 displays 3 pictures one by one while switching ON, so I think you'll have to use 3 pictures, but feel free to explore; IDK)
3. Now rename your 3 pictures as logo1.png, logo2.png, logo3.png & replace it inside "pics" folder of the extracted folder.
(Similarly you can replace other pictures in it carefully if you wish)
4. Finally, run the 'CREATE_LOGO.bat' to create splash.img and flashable zip file, which you can find inside the "output" folder after completion.
STEPS to flash splash.img:
Choose any one easy method:
a. To flash from recovery:
Transfer the flashable_splash.zip to your device and flash from TWRP or CWM or Philz or any other custom recovery.
b. To flash from Terminal Emulator:
Transfer the splash.img to your device's Internal Storage, Open Terminal Emulator & enter the following to flash it:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/splash.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/splash
c. To flash from Fastboot mode:
Code:
fastboot flash splash splash.img
Note:
Incase something goes wrong or device doesn't bootup, flash the stock splash.img from custom recovery or fastboot.
Thanks to @androcheck who tested this and @Peter-C who provided the stock splash.img ..
Hit the Thanks :good: button if it worked for you
You're welcome to share the splash images that you created in this thread..

Actually it seems like the 3 pictures are not displayed one by one but instead at each boot time a different one of the three will be displayed. As the 3 original images are very similar (only the dark grey chinese text is different and I cannot read chinese) initially I didn't notice the difference.
It doesn't seem like the images change in a round-robin style but I didn't really look into this. Maybe it's randomly selected.
Nevertheless, @GokulNC thanks a lot for making the tool available!
