LogoMe is a new application available in Cydia via the BigBoss source that allows you to change your iPhone’s boot logo without the need to restore or rejailbreak. I have used it, and it seems to work fairly well. There is a few holdbacks, though. More is explained inside.
When you first run the application after installing it, the app will need to download necessary files from an unmodified iPhone firmware, so be sure you’re connected to the internet.
After that’s done, you can start to change your boot logo. For now, you can only change your logo via images on the web, so you’ll have to input the URL of the image you would like as your boot image. Once you have entered the URL, tap the Download button, and it will begin to download the logo.
After the logo has been downloaded, the Download button will disappear. Now, press the Install Logo icon on the bottom right. You will then be greeted with the options to Preview or to Install.Â
Press Preview to make sure it looks right. When previewing the logo, for me, I got a white bar along the top of my preview, so I was hesitant to install it; however, I tried it and no white bar appeared along the top of the logo when my phone started up. When you press install, a progress bar will appear, and once it’s finished, you may restart and enjoy your new boot logo.
*NOTE* If the application ever warns you that the logo is too large, do not install, because it could cause you to restore your phone.

HELP!! I installed this this morning and ever since then I have not been able to use the power button/ sleep button or home button on my iPod touch 2.1! I can restart it but that’s it. Apart from that it won’t respond. Any help would be greatly appreciated! :sad:

Any wallpaper(site) will do the job
October 20th, 2008 at 11:30 am

October 20th, 2008 at 11:31 am
I installed the program and it changed my boot screen no problems but now my home button doesn’t work:( Any ideas how I can get it working again short of doing a restore? Thanks for any advice.
October 20th, 2008 at 2:25 pm

October 20th, 2008 at 6:30 pm
anyone else having problems even downloading the files after the program is installed? I’ve tried cellular & wifi data… still nothing. I’m running the new 1.0.3
October 20th, 2008 at 6:50 pm
Awesome, worked first time for me without any of the problems you guys are having – famous last words, my iFone will probably blow up 2nite :shock:
October 20th, 2008 at 10:01 pm
Turns out this works on iphone’s and not ipod touches! No way to fix without a restore
October 20th, 2008 at 10:50 pm
wow, I downloaded it and was about robuse it before I read this. I think I might hold off till the problem is taken care of. o..o
October 20th, 2008 at 10:59 pm
An update was released yesterday that fixed the power/home button problem. Should work fine now.
October 20th, 2008 at 11:03 pm
Should work fine but I installed it a few hours ago and now my home button doesn’t work. Does that mean I need to do a full restore of my iphone?
October 21st, 2008 at 3:09 pm
No, my ipod is blocked! I installed the app, downloaded an image, turned of the device and now it’s blocked!!
I suggest not to download this app!
Now I think I have to restart the ipod with iTunes.. :sad: :sad: :sad:
October 21st, 2008 at 4:31 pm
Yeah feel your pain. Lucky I still had my custom restore .ipsw and itunes accepted it but transferring all my data and programs back took a looong time.
October 21st, 2008 at 5:23 pm
I restored successfully. The first time I tried iTunes said “unknown error 2002” the second time everything went smoothly. :cool:
October 21st, 2008 at 9:44 pm
Do not work.
Only black screen appears afterwards.
but at least removed the idiot pineapple.
Can it be a logo upload problem?
any suggestions or links to a working Apple logo is appreciated.
Cheers

no one?
no ideas?
October 23rd, 2008 at 3:51 pm
the reason you’re getting a black screen is because the image is not correctly rendered for being a bootlogo, (480×320) it needs a transparent edges (Alpha Channel) and it has to be less than 100kb and it needs to be RGB or Greyscale, also you have to save it as a 24bit PNG with transparency enabled, use GIMP or photoshop for this, i could make you a bootlogo if you send me a pic
October 23rd, 2008 at 8:20 pm
Hi
Thanks for your answer.
I don’t have a good relation with photoshop… :cry:
How can I send you an apple logo: a link or an e-mail?
If it’s a link, here are a few options:

Hello
Thank you very much for your time.
It did not work, though.
“Image is too large after conversion, it may not work”.
Then I’ve no preview and it do not installs.
But thanks anyway.
Kind regards

Cheers,
A Marine.

AlliPodhax,
Im having the same black screen problem with my brother in law’s iphone, yet mine and my best friend went right on up and put the logo. Only difference between the three phones is my brother-in-law’s phone is a 3g 8 gig, mine and friends are 16gig 3g’s. Possibly something with the 8gig software? You mentioned using quickpwn to change it to the wanted image. How can one do that?
October 27th, 2008 at 5:39 am
I installed this on 10/25/2008 and it works EXCELLENT in my Itouch 16GB, using jpg files so i dont know what the problem with this guys is but i know that in mine it works great !!! THANKS SO much for the creator of this !!!
October 28th, 2008 at 12:14 am
@ omnibeing – its a little compkicated but bear with me, open quickpwn (don’t do anything else) then go to this folder
XP – C:\Documents and Settings\(User)\Local Settings\Temp\7ZipSfx.***\Data
VISTA – C:\Users\(User)\AppData\Local\Temp\7ZipSfx.***\Data
and replace the logo.png or recovery.png with whatever you want, (IT DOES HAVE TO BE WITH ABOVE SETTINGS) then just quickpwn your iPhone/iPod with the replace logos checkbox “checked”, and you have a new bootloader
November 5th, 2008 at 12:21 am
This really does not work for me at all. I have a 16g Iphone 3g I have tried almost everything my boot logo remains black which I actually do prefer over the pineapple but it would be nice to get something better…
December 2nd, 2008 at 3:11 pm

May 6th, 2009 at 10:14 am
Start it up in restore mode and then do a restore in itunes. For the rest of you read the comments before you install this program. It messes most devices up.
May 6th, 2009 at 4:09 pm
U guys seriously . . . READ THE FRICKEN COMMENTS! you need to put it in dfu restore it then rehack it if u install it. If you wanna prove us wrong go ahead . . . just dont complain afterwardss
May 6th, 2009 at 4:09 pm
Really?
May 9th, 2009 at 11:38 pm
Its Working Perfectly For Me.

May 17th, 2009 at 12:08 am
i flashed a pic then it just shut off and wont turn back on. my computer wont even detect it. what do i do?
May 17th, 2009 at 6:21 am
put it into dfu mode then re crack it
May 19th, 2009 at 11:11 pm
I intalled it and then choose and image from my library and flashed the image. after that i turned it of then tried to start it back up. It gave me a black screen for 6 sec. and then when to a all white screen that lasted 35 sec. After the white screen it shut off agean and it keeps doing this loop no mater how many times Istart it up. I dont know what to do but restore it but even that hard to do becase Icant seem to get in in DFU mode.
May 20th, 2009 at 4:31 pm
turn it off then put it into DFU mode. If that doesnt work, let it run out of batteries and try to sync it to itunes. If you have any problems e-mail my fake e-mail legoman@socal.rr.com
June 20th, 2009 at 12:42 pm
