- S-OFF REQUIRED -
Hey all, I spent some time figuring out how to do these custom splash screens and have gotten fairly competent. You know, to replace that annoyingly bright white HTC logo. Credit to our own Raul720 for providing the inverted HTC screen, and thus, the idea to make more of my own. Credit to Hippie459MN over at xda for making the process simple by creating the tool I used to make my own screens. Link to that thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1929404
The process is pretty simple if you have an image you'd like done. I'm opening the floor for splash requests. I'm normally pretty busy between work and the fiance, but I'll get to these when I can. Just post it on here and I'll see what I can do. Vertical images will work better so I don't have to crop the hell out of them, but I can do that too if necessary
Before installing, note:
I am not a developer nor do I pretend to know how this stuff works. If you bork your phone, you'll have to find help elsewhere. I have used guides available from here and xda to create these splash screens. As far as I know, the files I am posting are optimized for the Evo V 4G on Virgin Mobile. They may work on Sprint's 3D, they may not. Every splash screen change that I have done results in a boot loop. This is fixed by booting into recovery, wiping cache, and rebooting. No nandroid restore necessary. The splash change will still work and everything will be as it should. HOWEVER in order to get past the bootloader you can't have PG86IMG.ZIP still on your SD card. Some users have said simply removing the card works, but some Recoveries won't launch without a card present. I recommend having an SD card reader handy, and remove the file via computer before attempting recovery, or simply using a spare SD card and swapping after the flash.
To install:
1. MAKE A NANDROID JUST IN CASE. I haven't actually needed to do a restore but you should always backup before tweaking stuff.
2. Copy PG86IMG.ZIP to the root of your SD card (not in a folder). DO NOT UNZIP.
3. Boot into the bootloader by holding VolumeDown+Power. It will detect the file and ask if you wish to flash.
4. Push VolumeUp to confirm flash.
5. Push Power to reboot and enjoy your new splash screen.
6. If a boot loop occurs (likely), remove the battery and SD Card. Remove PG86IMG.ZIP from SD card or replace with spare. Replace SD card and battery. Boot to recovery. Wipe cache. Reboot to Android. Win.

Take the Big screen with you
The beautiful Kelley Hazell. After seeing a nearly identical splash for the Evo 4G, I determined it was not high enough quality and made this one up from scratch. Did my best to match the HTC fonts (although "Big" looks kinda funky... oh well :dontknow, and found the girl using tineye and the original image.

No clue who it is. Have seen on several different forums, this particular image coming from a Windows 8 forum. Pic also seen on 4EXT recovery custom backgrounds.
