Wasn't finding information directly in regards to any successful attempts to mod the splash screen other than a few whispers of success here and there.
When I found a method and found it successful... I figured I'd just post up a new thread to point anyone else wondering in the right direction =)
Just used this method w/ my Doubleshot, and it worked perfectly =)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834267
Didn't feel like spending all night working on the perfect, cleanest splashscreen but I threw one together real quick. Not flawless or as clean as others I've seen on here, but I like it =)

Which method did you use? That location doesn't show up when I look in Root Explorer.

You'll have to fastboot flash the image as our partition setup is different.
Thanks for posting this. Haven't had the time to look into it yet, but the way-too-bright splash screen has been bugging me, and I can't wait to find a free hour to play with this.
I got tunnel vision working on one thing I couldn't get to work, and kinda put everything else on hold - way to toss me something to get started back up with!
this is way easier

So this is what I ended up using to do this.
It literally took 3 minutes, including making the new graphic in photoshop.
Take the time to read through the OP and second posting for the tool, and it's a breeze.
Awesome! Thanks for this.
Here is mine.
That's pretty cool!
I was definitely seduced into this by the metroid teaser above, but i've got a soft spot for the little android guy - that's a fun picture and would make me smile every time I rebooted.
I think UndeadK9 should add it to his rom.

It's not something you can add to a ROM. You're better off just using a Linux distro and ffmpeg to convert the png file.
which is the partition containing the splash?

can someone post the stock mt4gs image? Specifically for warranty exchanges. Would be nice to keep it safe up here.
I haven't flashed a new one on my device specifically for this reason. If this can be extracted from a device, i'd be happy to pull it from mine if someone can tell me how

If you flashed over using the method I quoted, without making a backup, then you lost yours.
Here is the image the program made of mine before I changed it. If you didn't go to the thread I quoted previously in this one, go there and get that program, then you should be able to use this backup image.
eck, okay - the image is 16 megs. How can I get it to you? PM me an email and i'll try and send it that way. Otherwise suggest a method of getting it to you.
I don't want to zip it in any fashion, don't want to risk messing up the file.
I have to leave for work in an hour - so if you don't get back to me by then it'll have to wait until tomorrow when I get home, probably be able to send it this time tomorrow.
I'll check this thread before I walk out the door today.
Gonna give this a go when I get home.

It can't be a rom. Its way to small
I can't give details but I will rip it apart real quick. Looks like something that was hacked apart by someone with 7 posts...
EDIT screw that... how is it too small? It's 93MB
RegawMOD is 81.9MB so I'm not going to be flashing a ROM that's almost 15MB bigger to my phone. Have a nice day.

Hmmm it was a lot smaller than that on my phone. Probably a bad download. LOL BTW my blue echo rom is 147 MB but a lot of that gets loaded onto a2sd. I have over 100 MB free on my phone running my rom. So I don't think the size of the rom truly matters.

This is still early in development stages and doesn't have any functionality... when it is completely finished it will be cross-platform.
Hopefully in the next couple of days I'll have more time to work on it extensively. If you wish to help/give suggestions/test please PM me and I'll PM you back when I'm ready (lfaber06 and jimbridgman, you two can already consider yourselves PM'd ).
P.S- Don't worry it's not some bogus virus thing, when I release it the sources will be included .
That is awesome. Im so happy about this! Life will be so easy! Will the flash fxz button just be one botton that does everything for u?

Yup- boot into AP fastboot, plug in the A2, make sure you have the right drivers installed, and press the button to fix a softbrick.
This would probably work with most other newer Motorola phones as well... of course you would have to use a different fxz.
Lol, too bad I slept through most of yesterday, and I have school tomorrow... I pretty much have the java part of it worked out, now I just need to write a bunch of scripts... shouldn't take too long. It will also have the option to install the A2 bootstrapper... and maybe busybox.
This is friggen awesome man!!! If you need any help feel free to pm me! Can't wait!!

Do we have an ETA for source or are we going to have to wait for ATT to push ICS?
Edit: I can read, I swear. Trying to go off of this thread, now: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1484408
Ok simply XDA doesnt do Coming soon or WIP threads. Development is just for that Active development. And to be honest if you have to ask about needing the source then you may want to do alot more research. Making a custom rom is alot more then using the android kitchen. Roms made with the android kitchen are not even Development roms.

Shoot...can't remember off the top of my head...but anything by att...if you can't tell what app it is by the apk name open the apk up in 7zip and look for the icon
There's a bunch you can remove, and you can always use other stock based roms as a reference, an easy way to find out if its needed is go to rooted stock uclb3, get titanium back up and start uninstalling apps when your done getting rid of apps rebiot and see how your doing

There's an old saying that goes something like, "Greatness innovates, but genius copies". There's another one that states that, "Immitation is the sincerest form of flattery". There's another, somewhat XDA specific, that goes, "Read/search everything on the forum, then ask a question that hasn't already been asked and answered". With that preamble,
1 - This question is probably better posed in the Q&A section. Dev section is for, well, development.
2 - Taking a direction from the above quotes, download a debloated rom, unzip it, and compare to the stock rom. Read the OPs of some of the other roms, sometimes they list all the apps that have been removed. Mostly, you'll be looking to remove things from /system/app.
3 - Read up on deodexing and zipaligning, unless you plan to use as a base a rom that already has this done.
4 - Ask permission and cite sources if you use anyone else's stuff.
5 - Google, read, research, search again, repeat...
I know it might not be totally safe, but I found these APK sheets for the SGS2.

I always use them as a guide when I go around trying to see what I can remove. It may or may not be totally compatible with the Infuse, but I haven't had any problems so far.
OP...this thread has been moved. Q&A threads should be created in the Infuse 4G Q&A section. Not in Development.

Just to be clear, these files may not work. The stock TOT softbricks the device is you try and flash it so it could be a problem with these files.

yes, do not flash anything here...these files are only for those that know what to do with them

dirtycow by itself does not replace files on the mmc! those files are entirely original still, they're only replaced in your active memory.
you can simply reboot and everything will be back to normal.
that being said, I did find a way to actually write to recovery partitions with dirtycow...
So how do we test?
