Build your own splash screens for the Fairphone 2 (FP2)
- Python 2.7
- PIL
Install python and python-imaging from your distro software repositories:
sudo apt install python python-imaging
Run:
python2 logo_gen.py <raster image file>
Raster image file can be PNG, JPEG, BMP and GIF, 1080x1920 pixels size (FP2's resolution)
Splash image will be saved to ./splash.img
WARNING: Do at your own risk. I won't take any responsibility if this action bricks or damage your phone, although that seems unlikely. See the Restoring original image section if your image does not work as expected.
- Fastboot Android SDK tool
Install fastboot or android-sdk-platform-tools if you want adb too
apt install android-sdk-platform-tools
Boot your Fairphone 2 in fastboot mode, either by adb reboot bootloader (if you installed adb too) or by holding power down while booting your Fairphone 2.
Then run this command:
fastboot flash splash splash.img
Replace splash.img with the path to your splash screen, if other.
To boot your phone again, run:
fastboot reboot
Alternatively, you can hold the power button for some seconds.
If your own splash screen didn't worked as expected, you can find official Fairphone 2 splash screens under the official-splash-imgs folder, here in the repo. lp_splash.img is the splash screen for Lollipop and mm_splash.img is the one for Marshmallow. Take either file and flash it with the instructions provided above.
