crosboot is a handy tool for tweaking your ChromeOS boot screen
Just so you know, crosboot is in beta. While nothing should mess up your OS, it's a good idea to back up your default boot screen just in case crosboot didn’t save it. (better safe than sorry!!)
Before you start - source
- Enable Chrome OS developer mode
- Disable root filesystem verification, remount root filesystem as read/write
- just have your boot GIF converted into PNG images
- make sure the images are ready in ChromeOS File Explorer (locally, not on Google Drive) since crosboot will need to access them
- iOS Video to ChromeOS boot splash shortcut
cd; curl -LO sayborduu.github.io/crosboot/crosboot.sh && sudo bash crosboot.shImportant
Make sure to set the FPS to match your GIF's FPS.
- Feel free to whip up your own folder stuffed with different boot screens (just keep each one in its own folder).
- You can totally use apps like CapCut on iOS to make a cool video for your boot screen, then check out this shortcut to convert it to PNG and rename it to fit ChromeOS's boot screen format.
