UBports Black Logos. Update Now Avaible for BQ Aquaris U Plus and Volla Phone

[kugiigi]

@advocatux The instructions just say go to fastboot and execute the command so it's unclear where to put the file...at least to me

[advocatux]

@kugiigi ah, I see. Download that file to your PC (put it in your home directory) and then fastboot to your device and run that command

Numpty question, @advocatux - as I too would dearly like the N5 image, rather than the Google one flashing up at me - how does one fastboot. i.e. Is this a simple thing to do?

Thanks in advance

[advocatux]

@3arn0wl it's a pretty straightforward process and it shouldn't give you any trouble but... YMMV

You need to put your phone in fastboot mode, connected by an usb cable to your computer, and run that command.

@advocatux cool thanks!
I will try it ad hopefully won't brick my phone
I want this black version because it's very very bright and really distracting when I reboot my E5 LOL

Did I miss something, @advocatux?

• I downloaded the appropriate image, and put it in the home folder.
• Put the phone into fastboot
• opened a terminal and ran "fastboot flash imgdata imgdata.img" (Nexus 5)

and got:

@3arn0wl first install fastboot. Run:

sudo apt update

sudo apt install fastboot

than try again

Yay! This worked on my OnePlus One - Big thank to Ruben for creating these! And thanks Advocatux so much for the clear explanation of how to do this. When this had been first posted I had no idea how to go about this - but you made it super easy to follow the step by step. Nice to get rid of the "powered by android" bootup. UBports ftw!

Best regards,

@rubencarneiro how did you alter/change the logos? What program/app did you use? I have a plain logo for Meizu Pro 5 and want to customize it.

[A Former User]

Out of curiosity is it possible(technically) to have these put into the image so devices that flash ubports can have this defacto?

Thanks for this, it's great!

@Loops Yes its already so on the FP2, others will follow

[A Former User]

@Flohack Great things! Thanks Flo

[rubencarneiro]

@Stefano sorry i was not able to find a way to modify the logo.bin from meizu pro 5.

[rubencarneiro]

@Ingo yes sorry i will updat the post is also avaible for FP2.

[Ingo]

@rubencarneiro no problem, in fact it didn't occur to me to first check the gitlab repo before asking...

[Stefano]

@rubencarneiro that's ok, thanks anyway.

Thanks to Ruben for this amount of logos, I love the result and makes our UT more beautiful. now I see smaller android.
For those who do not know much about how to do things, I leave a small text to go step by step and use the terminal as you install the logos, is going the long way but sure.

• Download the files to your PC,

• Place the logo or image in the personal folder,
  put the phone in fastboot mode, let's see if the computer detects it well

• Set phone to developer mode,

• we put in terminal with the phone connected and ignited:

• sudo adb devices

  ....... if it detects it and the numeration of the phone comes out we follow,

• adb reboot bootloader

  .... continue,

• fastboot devices

  ....... if it detects it we continue,

• Give the command below exposed on the terminal, depending on which device,
