[MOD] Replace your splash screen

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 =)

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?

Self answer: mmcblk0p14

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.

Zero modds
Debugging on by default
Batch optimized
Apex launcher substituted
Flash player adobe
Tibu added to system
Halolive wallpaper
Perfect for the new and upcoming starter developer
Only one rule
Leave updater script intack
As in: do not modify it.
Instruction.
Place zip on sdcard and flash in cwm based recovery.
It is designed to leave your data intact. Its designed to FORMAT system and cache.
Do not do any wiping or formating or resets before or after the flash.
Do do a nandroid back up in case you don't like it and want to go back.
Do do a tibu. Your probably due for one anyway. Good measure.
Its a ICS upgrade. Should you have a forceclose at boot up, something in data is causing it. Go back to recovery and preform a factory data reset. All will be good then.
Confirmed to work for both AT&T or Rogers.

Been waiting for a good basic ICS rom for my skyrocket. Can't wait to check it out.

Too late in the evening to do thus, but definitely will attempt tomorrow.

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

Really the best thing to do is experiment...development is all about trial and error and finding out what works best for you if something goes wrong then there is always Odin/heimdal

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.
https://spreadsheets.google.com/spr...1gdDJRekl4QmkyNmIzUmRvX2h3UDVkQXc&output=html
https://spreadsheets.google.com/spr...=0Ag43oj7rLQP4dENZcmhGN0ZUa3pHSENVeXlqUm5vV0E
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.

Finished De-Bloating, thanks for the lists dht2005. They were a big help.

ICS and misinformation

I would like to clear up a bunch of things that I and the other devs are seeing in here.
1) If you install the leak you can now get back to 2.3.5 and OTA to 2.3.6 with out any issues.
2) There are root procedures for each of the ICS leaks and they are posted in the proper ICS leak thread.
3) You are 100% not stuck once you install the ICS leaks and you CAN go back to 2.3.5 or 2.3.6. You can upgrade back to the ICS leak again all you want. We have many confirmed cases of this now.
4) If you don't know don't make it up. Ask a dev before you post incorrect info (a PM is best), because we all talk to each other and we will point you out, and then laugh at you as a community.
5) Please stop posting a new thread for every little ICS issue, there are a ton of threads just add a new post to an already existing thread, even if the issues were for GB, PLEASE!
One more time if you don't know for 100% sure and you can not Google it and prove it with another link then don't say it or post the information.

Since I can not post in the Dev Section on the ICS to 2.3.5 thread, I am Thanking you here. Thanks for all the efforts you put in to make it work.

bump!

Glad to see this. Went ahead and flashed the newest (I believe) ICS leak on an Atrix 2 I picked up yesterday.

I love the bump. I know some hate it. It works for me because I do most of my xda checking from tapatalk. Out of pure laziness I don't take the time to check for a new sticky unless I'm modifying something. So double bump.
Take a night off and watch a crappy movie jim. Thanks man.

Well since u ignored my pm I'll post in here. U already had a rom thread made that I unapproved. In my pm I told u to pm me when that apk was removed and I'd reap prove the thread. Instead u created a whole new thread. Next time I will delete both threads and infract u for not following a moderators request. This is ur warning

getting this for my cousins phone

hmm interesting, mind specifying on what you have done on this port besides merging the system folder with another JB build? it's nice and all but I just dont see anything worth while in this build. seems like it's buggy and un responsive at times.

So what's up China? Are you still gonna work on this one?
