Create custom splash screens

[NeoTheThird]

Some devices are still using the Android-bootscreen. That should be changed to something like this:

The following devices are still missing:

• Fairphone 2
• Nexus 5
• Nexus 4
• Nexus 7
• Oneplus 1

Just created a simple ubports bootscrenn for the Nexus 5. Can you give me link the the upper one so I can edit it for hammerhead?

Final bootimage mockup for Nexus 5.

If you need, I can help making some images...

Info: The Fairphone 2 will get the new bootsplash with OTA-2. All other phones will need to have 2 updates because of some partition trick to place the new screen. That means, users will update to OTA-2, then to OTA-3. Eventually people who skip OTA-2 will get this done in OTA-4 and so on. Ticket therefore stays open until we get positive confirmation that it worked for the majority of users.

@nfsprodriver That looks really cool, good work!

@mymike00 Thanks, we'll need to talk some more before ota 3 when, as flo explained, the feature will land for most devices.

[mymike00]

ok @NeoTheThird, I asked if I could help so OTA2 could be released faster. now the feature is in OTA 3 there's a lot of time to do this. anyway, if you need help, just ping me ;)

[NeoTheThird]

@mymike00 will do, thank you!

[ChloeWolfieGirl]

@NeoTheThird You put OnePlus 2, did you mean that, or did you mean OnePlus One?

[NeoTheThird]

@ChloeWolfieGirl Ooops, thanks for noticing. Fixed.

[mymike00]

where can I get the original images?
and should I follow some rules to make the new ones? like "powered by ubuntu touch" under the brand logo and "supported by: ubports" at the bottom?

[mymike00]

do you still need help in creating the images?

@nfsprodriver that nexus5 splash screen it is awesome

[nfsprodriver]

Thanks! Also created some for N4, N7. But I think I forgot to save them :(

[nfsprodriver]

We just may replace the 5 by 4 and 7 or replace whole Nexus logo. It's not much work.

[ChloeWolfieGirl]

The opo has a tick next to it but on rc, it still doesn't have the new boot screen

[NeoTheThird]

We'll have to take a different approach with this one. Instead of shipping it in the image, we'll make the Installer flash the bootsplash partition. If someone already wants to try this for the Fairphone 2, download this and flash the partition with fastboot flash splash splash.bin. DO NOT TRY THIS ON A DEVICE OTHER THAN FP2.

[NeoTheThird]

Just waiting on some architectural changes in the installer and i'll get to work on this one.
