Animation Logo Android in Odroid C2

matec.89 · Post by **matec.89** » Tue Nov 13, 2018 10:54 pm

Hello friends,
Does anyone know how to change the animated android logo that appears when the OS boots?
In the wiki, it only appears as changing the Hardkernel logo.

The board is an Odroid C2 with Android 6.0.1

Thanks a lot!

Usually, the boot animation file should be in either /system/media/bootanimation.zip or /oem/media/bootanimation.zip, Android boot animator look up in the order and it plays if any.

thanks for answering!
If I saw both locations, but nowhere do I have the file.

Is it just replacing it? Characteristics of the gif format?

You can try out the instruction from here, I've not tried since Android Jellybean - so old - but basically the way how boot animation is the same.

I've been doing this for over 30 builds but suddenly I can't write the bootanimation.zip to the media folder, permissions denied. Using es file manager, and I have root settings turned on. Anyone have an idea why this suddenly happened?

Is it possible to create a post just for the boot animation by car manufacturer.

I'm very lost but i try to build a similar project for my Renault Matra Avantime.

So if somebody can help me, I will be wonderful.

Thank you so much

1. You have a tutorial from tobetter. You should read to make an idea.
2. You can download my bootanimation.zip , unzip and see the structure, make something the same.
3. Do you have a movie or something with your logo? maybe i can help if you can't make it.

If you have an original image which is enough resolution for 720P, you can load it and save as BMP format with GIMP or Paint.

Everybody give me this link.

I'm agree with that.

In first I work for on the logo for create it, for the moment, his size is more than 2MB.

But after:

2. Android Logo Partition

If you want to replace logo data in logo partition, please follow this guide.

First, you must get into your U-Boot command line while pressing ENTER key when your ODROID-C2 is powered up.
And execute fastboot command from U-Boot and connect with your desktop using micro USB cable.

I press ENTER during the boot but I never get U-boot command step..

Have you tried to copy your logo file to the first partition in your Android memory card using PC?

maxderoswell · Post by **maxderoswell** » Tue Oct 22, 2019 2:20 am

Hello,

how can I do that ? Before I must reduce the size of the file.

No, you do not need to reduce the size if you copy the file to the memory card.

maxderoswell · Post by **maxderoswell** » Tue Oct 22, 2019 3:01 am

If you can explain me.

It is necessary to use a TF card ? I work with logo file by usb drive.

I'm very interested.

You have to use a eMMC or SD for the boot, copy it to that in the location the web link says.

maxderoswell · Post by **maxderoswell** » Tue Oct 22, 2019 5:42 pm

For the system boot, I use a eMMC.

When you said you pressed Enter during boot and nothing happened - were you connected via serial to the board?

maxderoswell · Post by **maxderoswell** » Wed Nov 06, 2019 3:44 am

No I work on the c2 directly with a usb keyboard.

You need to connect to serial. Only there you can interact with uboot

Hello,

so in first find and buy a module USB UART.

Connect the odroid to the module by be careful to the module's voltage.

I will find a VFAT partition ?

A tutorial or a link is possible ?

Thank you

Is not possible to connect the eMMC module by usb and mod the logo inside ?

Please visit the link, you can push the boot logo image to eMMC with fastboot command as well rather than copy it to FAT partition.

I'm sorry but I ash some help because it's very hard for me.

Your link contains directive in chinese for me.

Post by **odroid** » Thu Nov 07, 2019 4:21 pm

I couldn't find any Chinese either Korean characters in the WiKi page.
Can you tell us which portion of the instruction was very difficult for you?

maxderoswell · Post by **maxderoswell** » Fri Nov 08, 2019 12:16 am

It's a kind to speak.

It's not easy for me.

I'm in difficulty with this extract

"Android

On Android, you can replace boot logo with your custom image.

There are two ways to change boot logo image.

Add a image into VFAT partition.
Rewrite image data into Android LOGO partition using fastboot.

1. VFAT

Copy the new boot-logo.bmp (or boot-logo.bmp.gz) to VFAT partition.
2. Android Logo Partition

If you want to replace logo data in logo partition, please follow this guide.

First, you must get into your U-Boot command line while pressing ENTER key when your ODROID-C2 is powered up.
And execute fastboot command from U-Boot and connect with your desktop using micro USB cable.

[ ODROID-C2 Target ]

odroidc2# fastboot

Next, run fastboot command from your desktop.
[ HOST PC ] "

The essential step for me to change the boot logo, just that.

Have you got a serial adapter?
If not, I think you can edit boot.ini and add fastboot at its beginning and put the board in fastboot mode without serial.
When you're done you'll need to edit boot.ini again and remove fastboot.

not for the moment;

I look for:

or

If not, I think you can edit boot.ini and add fastboot at its beginning and put the board in fastboot mode without serial.
When you're done you'll need to edit boot.ini again and remove fastboot.

How do that ? By usb with the reader/writer eMMC module ? Or the TF adapter ?

My boot logo needs mod or compression ?

@maxderoswell, do you use Windows or Linux on your desktop if you can connect your ODROID-C2 with it?

maxderoswell · Post by **maxderoswell** » Sat Nov 09, 2019 3:26 am

I have a windows laptop with 6 usb ports.

Then, let's try this.
https://wiki.odroid.com/troubleshooting ... ll#windows
https://www.getdroidtips.com/how-to-ins ... n-windows/

You install ADB driver to your laptop as well as fastboot.
Once Android is started on your ODROID-C2, do run adb shell from your laptop and see if you can get into the command shell of Android. If you can do this and get some logs with adb command, do run adb reboot fastboot. This command will switch your ODROID-C2 to fastboot mode after reboot. Then you can run the fastboot command from your laptop, fastboot flash logo <your boot logo file name> and see what logs you have. If it says something OKAY then do run fastboot reboot. This will reboot your ODROID-C2 and if your logo file is decent format, then it will display new logo.

In summary, from your laptop, you need to run these commands one after another.

Code: Select all

> adb reboot fastboot
> fastboot flash logo <your boot logo file name>
> fastboot reboot

If you fail this, at least make sure you can run adb command to your ODROID-C2 when Android is running on it.

maxderoswell · Post by **maxderoswell** » Sat Nov 09, 2019 7:24 am

I will try as you said but before, it's necessary to order a USB UART module.

I will run the C2 with the main power supply, before connect it to laptop, a jumper must be change on the C2 ?

Thank you

Putting a jumper is only necessary if you want to make ODROID_C2 get power through USB OTG port and not necessary if you use DC power jack.

If you can success to run adb command from your laptop to your ODROID-C2, USB UART module is not necessary for your case. Obviously it would be helpful if you have USB UART module. IMHO, I think the USB UART module won't help you a lot if you just need to use it to switch to fastboot since eventually you have to make adb and fastboot work on your laptop. The right tool for you is eMMC Card Reader, not USB UART module, that helps you to copy the logo file to eMMC from your laptop directly.
Again, I strongly suggest making adb and fastboot run with your ODROID-C2.

Another option that comes in my mind just now is, open a terminal from Android and run mount | grep mmc command. Then share the picture of it.

I had follow your advice and it's ok.
The eMMC Card Reader convert the eMMC nand into a usb key.
The VFAT partition can be explored.
I had place the boot-logo.bmp directly inside the VFAT partition.

I have again a bug. In the beginning of the start the boot logo is showed on the top of the screen with the bad resolution.

I can make a video for show it.

Hello everyone,

just by curiosity, is it possible to use this Renault animation on another device ?

I think to this product : https://www.ebay.fr/itm/Android-8-0-DAB ... %7Ciid%3A1

The resolution on this device is 1024x600, the renault bootanimation is in 1280x800, is it necessary to mod something before use it ?

Thank you so much
