Root How do I theme this?

[ardchoille]

I've flashed several ROMs and have themed just about everything on my phone. There is, however, one thing left I'd like to theme; the boot logo. Not the bootanimation, I've been making those, but the logo you see before it.

I'm a Linux user, haven't touched a Microsoft product in 11 years, and would like to know if there are any tools to make this project easier in Ubuntu Linux. Any advice?

Just my thought - ask one of the guides to move your post to EVO 4G's development area, where you can get some concise answers to your question.

Good luck!

You might find some useful info here. I don't know if this would work on your phone too or not, however.

That is your SPLASH screen arch. It is relatively simple. You take an image of your choice. Resize it to 480 x 800 save it as rgb bmp with 24 bit depth ( paint.net or GIMP are decent free photo tools if you don't have your own already) . Then you run a nbimg script to change your bmp to a .IMG then you zip it up with the info text. Name it PC36IMG.ZIP and flash it in hboot. You can find ready made ones on xda and pull their text file there is also a thread a couple threads down here in the root forum about creating these ( easiest custom splash screens is the thread name) with a link to get a bat to run your nbimg if you don't have something to convert already...

A bat? Are you referring to a .bat file? I don't have a Windows machine and cannot run anything Windows-related. The app in the "easiest custom splash screens is the thread name" thread uses a Windows app.

Can you explain this in more detail for a person who uses Linux only?

Ah sorry didn't get the Linux thing. Yeah it is a . bat file. It is just a means to an end. You are just using the bat to run a nbimg script. Should be easier in Linux. Basically you just need to convert a .bmp to a .IMG. can you get the script out of that program? I use Windows mostly and dual boot ubuntu. A native user like akaza can help more here..
