OK, so it works but the color is no where near close. 24bit bmp
Could you link your source image and your output image? Also, the exact steps you took.

The closest thing to a custom rom with blackberries are hybrid os's... all they could do is Frankenstein apps and system files together from the other os versions.... I tried one before I got my warp and it was crap... no customizability what so ever

While in boot. 32bit worked perfectly. I understand how the color changes. I wonder, is the stock one so neutral that it doesn't look too much different?
Well it works! Props to you
No just 32bit, I'll play with it more tomorrow to see if I can get different results. Now, here's the thing, jet sent me the images, first one I converted, that didn't work. The he converted it to 32bit and used your tool and it worked. I packed my kernel and tested OK. I'll run my own tests of 24bit and 32bit. Maybe its my machine? Any requirements I missed?
why is this not working for me? I type "ABSM C:/logo.bmp"- says there is no image. I tried it without the c path, I tried it lower case c etc.
edit- so I ran it without the ABSM command and it converts, but I can't tell what it did. Did it replace the origional file in it's place? Edit it? Make another copy somewhere else?
Sorry if I sound dense, but it's not very clear what is happening because it does whatever and then shuts down. I would suggest letting it stay open or give some kind of verification (unless I'm doing it wrong), or outline it. As is, the way it is explained, I open the exe and run the command verbatim as outlined and it does not do what I'm sure you intended it to. Not trying to be contrary, just suggesting, and If this is user error my bad.
Hey, no problem! I admit, this was never one of my more polished tools... I threw it together in like one day lol
First off, what OS are you running?
Windows xp sp3.
Digression to unrelated topic:
Man. I gotta say. Android kitchen is a little bit of a pain in the butt as well. Mkbootfs does not want to compile (repack boot. Img). It gives no error log so I don't know what's wrong. I'm assuming because our device isn't directly supported. So I am manually editing the Arthur file by adding boot points from recovery. Img I hope this works. All I'm trying to do is unsecured the img and replace the logo bmp. It doesn't want to build though. Kitchen has proven so far to be more cumbersome than anything else. Using cygwin on xp all libraries have been updated since the last time I used it to compensate kitchen. I have a feeling. should just install ubuntu or similar and skip kitchen so I can really understand exactly what is going on.
Okay, if you're using XP my tool should run in the command prompt just fine - I tested it on XP SP2 with no issues. The easiest way to use it is to make a folder in windows on your C: drive called "new" and put the image you want to use (for the sake of example, we'll call it pic.bmp) and ABSM both in it. Then go to command prompt (which should automatically come up to some place on C: already but I forget where) and type "CD c:\new" without the quotes. Next, type "absm pic.bmp" and the tool should go to work. When it exits, you should have an additional file in the "new" folder called "logo.bmp." It will most likely come out in uppercase, so rename it in lowercase (so as to conform to the expectations of Android and/or the kitchen) and then move it to the appropriate place in the "BOOT-EXTRACTED" folder made by the kitchen, overwriting the old one.
That should do it!
And so far as the kitchen... yeah, it never really did support the Warp to my knowledge, but it should repack the boot image just fine, even running on Windows 7. I always got in the habit of doing my rooting, kernel swapping and boot logo switching right in the beginning of making the ROM to avoid complicating the kitchen's job any lol The only point where the kitchen's lack of Warp support really shows is when you're building and it prompts you to review the updater-script and such. If you don't swap in your own binary and script at that point, the ROM will have installation problems. Other than that, I haven't had too many problems with it so far.
Hope that helps
No problem! Glad I could help I take it that worked for you? And nope, I don't edit anything in the kitchen's internal files and everything works fine.THANKS! lol few last questions- I was editing my comment while you typed this:
Are you using the default arthur file in edify_defs or did you make/edit one to work with the warp?
I think we all do that sometimes lol Don't worry, though, after a while you'll go from shotgun-and-flashlight to sniper-rifle-and-infrared-gogglesAs far as binary and script: where do I find the ones that came in the rom I basing mine from so as to edit and replace when I build? Edit... found binaries and script. I have a bad shotgun and flashlight approach to some of this stuff. The kitchen told me where it was if I had been paying attention
Yep, that's become my editor of choice. It handles all the pertinent file types quite well, from smali source to XMLs to scripts and plain old text documents. Not to mention the fact that it can comprehend the end of a line without having to use two characters. Take that Microsoft Notepad!And I am using notepad++ to edit rc files and such- this should be fine right? It's worked for everything else so far.

Can you run abootimg on a Windows computer? It's what I use for the boot image pack/unpack and it works like a charm....
I don't know. Not even going try lol. I would rather just develop android on its own platform. I would rather spend the time learning how to dev properly in Linux Unix than fool around with windows. I plan on getting rid of the need for android kitchen as well eventually. All this porting of libraries is really cumbersome. I've been running this ubuntu distro and have gotten further in one night than I have been able to in a week. plus I can focus on what's going on and actually understand what the hell I'm doing ha-ha.
