[ENGLISH][TOOL] Milestone custom boot logo

[Skrilax_CZ]

So,
I got tired of the Motorola Boot Logo and created a simple utility to convert a bitmap image to a Motorola Boot Logo format. The only requirement is that the bitmap size is 480 x 182. Requires .NET framework 3.5 or Mono 2.4.

Usage:
- Open the desired bitmap
- Save it as boot logo (file name for example mylogo.bin) OR as nandroid (creates a folder with logo.bin and logo.md5 in it)

Flashing (manually):
- Copy it to sdcard and reboot to OpenRecovery
- open OpenRecovery console and type:
erase_image logo
flash_image logo /sdcard/mylogo.bin

Alternatively, if you saved as nandroid, just copy the newly created folder to /sdcard/openrecovery. Note that you have to apply the fix (see below) or it will not flash!

Download:
.NET framework version
MONO version

NOTE:
OpenRecovery nandroid (version 1.46) has a bug in restoring the logo partition; use the fix in OpenRecovery thread here: Open Recovery v1.46 [11/21/2010]
(The attachment from that thread can be downloaded here: http://rapidshare.com/files/436474236/nandroid-restore_openrecovery.zip)

[Skrilax_CZ]

Und welche logos habt ihr nun?

 

[VeluxRacer]

Ich habe ein selbergemachtes mit meinem Namen, nur zum angeben.

 

[-FuFu-]

noch hab ich kein anderes ^^ mir fehlt noch ne idee
aber wenn wer was interessantes hat, mal her damit
aber am besten nen neuen Thread aufmachen dafür, so ne art Sammelthread

 

[Skrilax_CZ]

I used this one when testing it:

 

[splen]

Ich hab hier leider ein kleines Problem, wie kann ich denn in der OR Console Sonderzeichen wie eben das "_" bei "erase_image" tippen?

 

[Skrilax_CZ]

Alt + C für '_'.

 

[splen]

Alt + C für '_'.

danke, aber irgendwie funktionieren die tastenkombinationen bei mir nicht in der OR console, könnte das daran liegen, dass ich die Androidiani OR verwende?

 

[VeluxRacer]

Alt gedrückt halten während du C drückst

 

[splen]

Ah ok, danke, da zeigt sich doch noch der Grünschnabel in mir

 

[Skrilax_CZ]

Updated:
- can open/save *.png and *.jpg
- can save as nandroid (creates a directory); but you have to apply the fix for nandroid to flash.

thx
very nice work

is it possible to include a option where i can shrink the picute to the needed size?
i know its many work to add features and i know you work on it...

my english is not the best ^^ you kow that

but the greatest feature where, when there where a window where i can drag an drop my picture, and the tool cuts automatically the pic to the needed size and i can move the pic in the windows to the position i will have it

i know its not easy ^^ its only a wish, the tool is great now and i love it

 

[Skrilax_CZ]

Well I'd leave that to external editors. I looked and haven't found anything similar already done for that and it would take quite a lot time to do - well there is OpenRecovery for MS2 still to be done

 

[-FuFu-]

only a dream from me

how i sayed, gread work that you done with this tool
i think to edit the pic with external editor is the best way to get the pic look like i will have it

but 1 last question, is it possible, to make the tool work in OpenRecovery, that i can use it like that
/sbin/bootlogo /sdcard/pic/mylogo.jpg

/sbin/bootlogo is the tool
and /sdcard/pic/mylogo.jpg is the pic that set as bootlogo
the pic have the size it need, so the tool directly convert the pic to .bin format and write it to /logo patiton

i hope you know what i mean
when it where possible i will love it, most thinks i do in OpenRecovery, so i think this where great, if is possible and not to much work for you
