So you want to make a Bootlogo? came to the right place
This How to is sized for Razr HD, Razr M, Bionic, and Razr OG (yes...the flip phone)
(I believe you can follow this with any phone, just remember your sizing will be different so make sure to use the right sizing for your phone)
What is the Bootlogo? The bootlogo is the Red Motorola M in the picture above. It appears right after you hit that power button to turn on your phone
1. Easiest way is to start by downloading this stock Motorola M logo.bin http://d-h.st/1Cr
2. See how its named logo.bin? Change the bin to raw
. (Photoshop only, Gimp users you should be fine with bin)
3. Then place a black layer over the M to hide any unwanted colors or pictures
4. Drag your image in!!!
5. Size to your liking remember it needs to be within 540x540
6. Merge into one layer
From here it depends if your using Photoshop or Gimp so fellow accordingly!
Photoshop-
1. Photoshop: select Image > Adjustments > Channel Mixer
2. Select Output channel: Red and change the red value from 100 to 0 and the blue value from 0 to 100
now select Output channel: Blue and change the red value from 0 to 100 and the blue value from 100 to 0
press okay
Note: the colors will look invert and might seem weird, but thats the right way! Your phone will see it normally (why? i have no idea!)
3. Photoshop: select file -> save as
name "logo.bin"
format "photoshop raw"
save
