Edit: No longer taking requests, but here are some very detailed instructions I wrote on how to do it on your own!

Want a custom splash screen? (Change the green on white HTC logo when your phone boots up)
Leave a reply below!

How to install for the Incredible 2: (S-OFF Required)
  1. Make sure the file is named PG32IMG.zip
  2. Reboot into bootloader (not recovery)
  3. Click on bootloader, then click volume down, then up. It should install.
How to install for the Incredible S: (S-OFF Required)
You can also use this method if the one above does not work for the Incredible 2. Do note that you need fastboot working on your computer.
  1. Download for the Incredible S
  2. Reboot into bootloader
  3. Fire up the terminal/command prompt and cd to the directory with the splash screen. Then type this command:
Code:
<br />
fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img<br />

Want to know how to make your own? Look at this post.

Remember to say thanks! (I think it's called "like" now... but whatever)

Look up a tool called nbimg. Get it from pof's xda thread.
Put the nbimg.exe file in your windows directory (or anywhere where your path variable points to)
Then create a 480x800 24-bit bmp file and put whatever you want in it.
Save it somewhere convenient and fire up that good old command prompt.
Code:
<br />
nbimg -F your_splash.bmp<br />
That will output you a "your_splash.bmb.nb" file. Simply rename it to splash1.img. Grab one of my splash screens, fire up 7-zip (don't use windows explorer, it will corrupt it) and drag the splash1.img in there. You're done!

pof has source on his blog you can compile and use, to do so open terminal and run these commands:

Code:
<br />
wget [URL=http://pof.eslack.org/HTC/nbimg/nbimg-1.1.tar]http://pof.eslack.org/HTC/nbimg/nbimg-1.1.tar[/URL].gz<br />
<br />
tar -xvzf ~/nbimg-1.1.tar.gz<br />
cd ~/nbimg-1.1<br />
gcc nbimg.c -o nbimg<br />
<br />
Assuming the compile went well you should have a useable nbimg...

Move it to ~/bin and add it to your path so you can run it from any directory
Code:
<br />
mkdir -p ~/bin<br />
cp ~/nbimg-1.1/nbimg ~/bin/nbimg<br />
sudo echo export PATH=$PATH:~/bin >> ~/.bashrc<br />
You may need to log out and back in for it to be recognized as a system command.

EDIT: Fixed the path when extracting the tar.gz, I had it in ~/Downloads for some reason...
