I use these commands to convert the image (and works well):

sudo easy_install pip
pip3 install Pillow
python3 convert_image.py myimage.png

rename the file to "splash.bin"
but not sure where have to put the file and how to compile everything (just with make ?)

EDIT: ok, o forgot to download the sd files ^_^

Thanks

I played around with the "convert_image.py" script for awhile before I got it working, here is my splash screen, figured I'd share it, and if anyone likes it you don't have to worry about the hassle of converting it either, I have a pre-compiled splash.bin too.

Loading CFW.png

Also I have it as "Loading CFW" more, so to add some future proofing, then to lump it with Hekate alone, I figure Atmosphere will likely use the same method of achieving a Splash, so why not plan ahead ;P


DOWNLOAD

Apparently these files can likely corrupt when encrypted in a zip file , uploading the raw bin

All you have to do is replace the splash.bin in the root of your SD card with the one you generated, and as long as you're using the payload, and you're using his I assume customized Hekate Files, then it'll load the splash, I should note though I ran into an error though during testing multiple splash files where I somehow corrupted my hekate file, so if you get stuck on a black screen on boot then just restore your Hekate files from the ones provided in this thread, and it should fix that issue.

Under tools in the source code there is a python script called "convert_image.py" if you supply it with a PNG that is 1280x720 it will create an image.txt file rename that to splash.bin and you are good to go. Just be careful what you do with this file as it's content is directly copied to the screen's framebuffer. If you delete the file it will also just skip the whole splash screen.

Let's begin some wallpapers splash with these awesome wallpapers :)

For the Next conversions, I suggest modify the convert.py with notepad and modify the line 34 :
with open('splash.bin','wb') as f:

1st : ensure python 3 is installed and "pip install Pillow"
2nd : Use the files joined here.
3rd: drag and drop your png on it

voila!
