Requires NBIMG/to565, BUSYBOX, and GM (GraphicsMagick)!
NBIMG/to565 and GM are all included in this repo. They have been statically compiled for ARM to work with PRE-JB devices as well as being in compliance with Android L (latest release).
-- Clone, or download Repo
-- Place binaries and script to /system/bin on your Android device
-- Set permissions to 755 (rwxr-xr-x)
-- Open Terminal then type and enter, SPLASH, to run the script.
-- Enter the root directory of where your image(s) are located as requested by the script
-- Enter your device resolution as requested by the script
-- Select either .img or .rle format
-- Check directory after completion, enjoy
Ok, so, what exactly does this script do? Valid question, so let me go ahead and answer this for you.
When you run the script it will ask where the image(s) are located on your device. It will check to see if the directory exists and if it doesn't it will let you know. This check is mainly there in case you made a typo (I recommend copying and pasting if this is a problem for you).
Next, it will ask for your device resolution so it will know what size to make the image. Again, it will check the info you tell it and if not correct it will ask you again.
The script will then ask you if you wish to convert the pictures to either "splash".img format or "splash".rle format. Pick your option.
Once the script has this information it will proceed to read the entire directory and take note of all the pictures. The pictures do not have to already be in .bmp format. They can be .jpg, .png, etc.
Important: The script will check for Busybox, gm, nbimg, and to565 as needed and if what is needed to run the script is not found it will inform you then abort.
After it takes note of all your images it will proceed to use GraphicsMagick to resize the images based on the info you gave it as well as convert it to .bmp or .raw. Afterwards, it will call on nbimg/to565 to convert the newly created .bmp/.raw image in to the properly formatted splash image whether it be .img or .rle based on the option you initially chose at the beginning.
It's rather simple but very useful when dealing with multiple images.
It doesn't take long for the process even if you are dealing with, say, 50 pictures lol.
When it is finished go to the directory and you will see the .img or .rle and picture for each. The picture is kept so you may view it through your gallery and determine if you will like it as your splash screen. If you do, then go to the .img or .rle file of that picture and rename it accordingly.
I won't go in to details on how to apply the images since I expect this thread to be used as assistance for devs out there - experience is expected in this case.
