Well, I've found out how to write pandigital's logo file, which means I now get a picture of the nice Android guy when the system first boots instead of the Pandigital Screen. Unfortunately, it disappears after about 2 seconds, goes to the pandigital logo, and then goes to a custom boot logo (if you have on installed). Still an improvement, I guess I'll have to see if I can figure out where the second PDN logo is stored so I can kill that as well.

well... share the details on the initial boot screen. How did ya do it? Wheres the files? Which Image? Any ideas about adding a boot sound (audio file) I want mine to be DROOOID pad.

I had to use custom software, hacked off of Koush's G1 splash screen who was kind enough to release the source. I need to tweak the source a tiny bit more.It's really ugly, but it does work

 

[lawman]

might it have the same file name such that you can search for it?

 

[clockworx]

Alright folks, here we go. Credit to Koush for the original, it took me a few tries to get the orientation and image format right.Requirements: .NET Framework, 2.0 or laterDISCLAIMER: Not responsible for anything you might do. This is writing a file to your internal flash that kicks off at boot, so there exists the possibility that something could go catastrophically wrong and you hose your PDN. The file size is hardcoded in the program, but you should check anyways before flashing to make sure it is the EXACT same file size as a stock logo file (about 1.83 MB).If this all sounds scary and horrible, just remember: This adds nothing to the functionality of the novel. It is the very definition of an unnecessary mod. If you do it, don't come to me complaining that your Novel suddenly caught fire or peed on the rug.How to generate a custom logo file[list type=decimal][*] Run program[*] Click "Open" to open an image. As a note, this program takes in LANDSCAPE images, and the RIGHT of the image will be the TOP of the PDN (closest to the logo).[*] Click "Convert"[*] A file "logo.custom" will be created in the same directory as the program. Move it or rename it to something else if you want to make a bunch of different logos, because it will always overwrite.[/LIST]How to flash a custom logo file[list type=decimal][*]Drop the logo.custom file into your adb directory.[*] Grab the file "fuse" from a PDN update zip file and put it into your adb directory.[*] Run the following commands.

• adb push fuse /data/
• adb shell chmod 777 /data/fuse
• adb push logo.custom /data/
• adb shell /data/fuse logo /data/logo.custom
• adb shell rm /data/logo.custom
• adb shell reboot (optional, either reboot or shutdown yourself)

[/LIST]That should do it! If yo have already done these commands, and want to flash a different logo, you can start at (c) since fuse will already be pushed over and chmod'ed

Take the slatedroid image and make a batch file to do it, so we can have tons of newbs feeling high on life.

 

[clockworx]

Wow, I guess my disclaimer really did scare everyone off. Anyone else used this yet?lawman, do we have a large slatedroid logo somewhere? I don't mind making a custom splash.

 

[lawman]

pm mike for one. If we don't we should.

If u right click on the logo and do save as its a png fileSent from my Eris using Tapatalk

 

[clockworx]

Yeah, but the resolution is a bit low for the PDN (assuming you mean the one in the upper left of the forum screen). It will look very.....not good

 

[lawman]

x2 on that. Is there an original jpg/bmp we could use?

 

[Mp4]

I have it where should I send it , may need a little editing mike did the redesign but I have the original pm me

 

[Mp4]

also please take some pics when this is running on someones PDcan't wait to see

How much of this is PDN specific? I'd like to make a wiki entry to do this on any device. Using the Slatedroid Logo would be great for the demo.

It really depends. I had to change resolution (obviously) and also bits per pixel. I'd be a bit worried about just tossing it around, though, in the event for some reason a malformed logo causes the boot process to die entirely. (I fed it lots of bad logos when I was testing, but I'm not sure if every other device would handle it as well.)

Apologies for the godawful quality. Cameraphone + poorly lit cube

 

[bodex]

I like it Do you have a file available for download so we can easily have what you've pictured?

 

[mogrith]

OK I may try on the GT78 since I have one to get screen shots. Same 800x480

PDN is 800x600Also, I have no idea if fuse would work, since that was done by Pandigital, and where your logo partition is.
