Custom splash screen and boot animation

I’ve just finished my customizing of the boot sequence of my S-OFF HTC Desire (AlphaREV).

I am currently running InsertCoin HD 1.9d InsertCoin GB by baadnwz.

The two files needed are here:

Instructions (I will assume you already have S-OFF HTC Desire, running InsertCoin HD 1.9d GB):

  • adb push “C:\Your\Path\Here\bootanimation.zip” /system/sd/.customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
  • adb push “C:\Your\Path\Here\bootanimation.zip” /data/local/bootanimation.zip
  • adb shell chown 1000:1000 /data/local/bootanimation.zip
  • adb shell chmod 644 /data/local/bootanimation.zip
  • adb reboot oem-78 (or reboot manually to fastboot)
  • fastboot flash slpash1 “C:\Your\Path\Here\splash1.img”
  • fastboot reboot

The output of the fastboot flash command should look like this:

c:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot.exe flash splash1 C:\splash1.img
    sending ‘splash1’ (750 KB)… OKAY [  0.130s]
             writing ‘splash1’… OKAY [  0.241s]
finished. total time: 0.372s

Now reboot your device. You should see the nice Cheshire Cat blinking from time to time at you.

Later edit:

OMG! We have a wallpaper to go with it!
