I AM TRYING TO MAKE A FOLDER. TO MAKE A CUSTOM SPLASH SCREEN BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO COMPLETE THIS STEP....[Open a command or terminal window and CD to your nbimg folder.
Type in the following command: nbimg -F splash1.bmp -w 480 -h 800
If successful, nbimg should have created an nb file called 'splash1.bmp.nb'.
Rename 'splash1.bmp.nb' to 'splash1.img'.]... I HAVE THE "NBIMG" FOLDER. AND MY CONVRTED IMAGE. I JUST DON'T KNOW TO "CD" TO IT OR WHEN TO TYPE IN THE COMMAND AFTER THAT TO COMBINE THE TWO.....USING COMMAND LINE IS LIKE FRENCH TO ME... PLEASE HELP..
 
You need to use adb to accomplish this step. Are you at all familiar with that? If you are I may be able to help further, but if not, I would recommend looking into how to get that set up first. Or, you can find a different way to make a splash screen. I believe mr. ed mentioned something about helping people with this if they have a picture that they want to use as a splash screen (don't mean to volunteer you mr ed).
 
I tried Mr ed. Fasion. Got all the right driver's but when using the tool. It kept giving me an error about path not found. Tried. Tried and tried to fix the bmp file path bout could not. Find the problem. I'll dothe research on what u suggested
 
Unzip all of the files in that guys zip flash tool to your desktop and then try. Make sure the bmp is exactly the way that guyvspecifies in his thread. I get the same error if the package is unzipped anywhere else

Really I will try that. How did you come about finding that out.... funny probably cause you were sick of switching folders like I was at one point I had about 10tof them open thanks for the tip.
 
well..it worked when i found it months ago..since I had moved it and last night I was trying to make some splash screens for you guys but it wouldn't work

the fact that I had moved it off my desktop was really the only thing that had changed... so i moved them back and it worked
 
wow glad I read this thread... thank you gentlemen....I am currently working on something and just a shot---- can you help me on it.....it involves using a command line on My PC for creating a splash screen..... this is where i'm at: got my file correct according to the thread and have started the command line and it spits out 3 arguments. my question is whats next.. Did it create the file. or is somthing wrong.. Here is the command text:

I saw you made this post in another thread. Are you still having this problem? If so, it's not creating your file because you need to pass a capitol -F parameter.
 
@geewiz... really is that it....I swear I feel like such a dummy sometimes.....( I have been on my pc now more then my phone) ( and thats weird being that I used to use my computer to check e-mail and use photo shop for pictures and that is)( but this is very fun and intresting.. I HAVE BEEN ASSIMILATED.... there was a post eairier in this thread from mdizzil99 that said something about " it wont work cause you need "adb" what is that any way???????????? .. but i'm going to try your tip cause I am ready to go with doing my magic this way.... thanks for the post.
