Splash Screens



delete, removed.



Splash Screens



***DISCLAIMER - FLASH AT OWN RISK - IF THIS BREAKS YOUR PHONE, DON'T BLAME ME***

Instructions:

You must have ADB installed
- Download the Splash Flasher v1.0 (it says it's for a differently sized screen but ignore that)
- Extract the downloaded SplashFlasher_1.0.zip
- Find the image you wish to use, and resize it to 1440 width, 2560 height
- Open the Splash Flasher folder and where it says "place-image-here" place your correctly sized image
- Double-Click to open the CLICK-HERE.bat and press any key
- You will see the option to convert .png, .jpg and .bmp
- Whatever format your image is, is the one you choose (you can have images for all 3 formats in the "place-image-here" folder but no more than one of each format)
- Once you choose 2, 3, or 4 to convert the image, open "place-image-here" folder and you will now see a file "custom.img"
- Rename the custom.img to splash1.nb0 (yes, change from.img to .nb0)
- Download this empty template I created - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24588232905721414
- Place the splash1.nb0 file you created into the .zip and now you are ready to change that blinding white splash screen



Code:


adb reboot bootloader


Code:


fastboot oem rebootRUU


Code:


fastboot flash zip NameOfFile.zip


Code:


fastboot reboot

I have created one that I took the plunge to test.
It is from the Unlocked HTC 10 Variant. (See attached image)

Edit home screens?



Is there a way to add or remove home screens? Long tapping shows the widget, setting and wallpaper icons, but I don't see how to rearrange screens and add or remove them.

The problem with quad hd (or 4k) screens.



I do appreciate the sharper quad hd amoled on the S7e over the one on the Op3.

However, much (most) content we work with daily, especially net content is not quad hd, often not even hd.

So the phone has to perform some serious scaling.

Result; a (good) non-quad screen can actually look better/sharper.

Need proof? I also have an Elephone P9000 which IMHO happens to have one of the very best displays, LCD or not. It looks clearly better on most Web content. The difference is not subtle. That goes for sharpness and colour (despite of the S7e measuring close to perfect in SRGB. Perhaps the ability of the P9000 to display great whites as well as superb blacks has something to do with it). It uses a new LG super thin layer screen. Needs to be seen to be believed.

Samsungs amoled are very good but there is still room for improvement.
