Hi all,
Today I have had a bit of a nightmare with changing the splash screen(s). I'm trying to create a totally generic version of this firmware, which removes all of the T-Mobile branding; including those annoying 'Exclusive to T-Mobile' splash screens. I say screens, as it seems there are two of them, one loaded immediately and the other loaded from the kernel immediately afterwards.
I understand that the first one to load (bios as such) is located in /mnt/.lfs/logo.jpg. I cannot alter or edit that directory without a modified param.lfs, I am told.
I recently tried the param.lfs from the Vibrant build, and it flashed successfully, but still wouldn't allow me to write over the logo (operation not permitted). Can this image be changed directly in param.lfs? I have extracted the images from param.lfs, but cannot find a way to rebuild it. Also... replacing the param.lfs with one from a stock vibrant doesn't appear to change the splash screen. Wtf?
Also, even if I do overwrite the image, will the SBL push another one over the top? I'm getting mixed opinions on this...
The second image is located in the kernel source, I understand. I'm aware of how to compile a kernel so that isn't the issue.
Does anyone know the name of the image to locate in the source?
EDIT - think I found it in: ../drivers/video/samsung/logo_rgb24_wvga_portrait.h
My brain isn't working correctly today, and I have wasted a lot of time on this already. If someone out there knows the answer it'd save me a lot more time!
Thanks in advance.

Yupe..that would be the file and there's an app to build that for you. All you need is creating 480x800 24bit RGB image and save it as C header, then use that app to rebuild logo_rgb24_wvga_portrait.h for you.

The animations are easy to change - just replace them with the qmgs from stock galaxy S...
or, use/compile a kernel with bootanimation.zip support
The annoying T-Mobile jingle is in /system/etc
Can't remember the name!

Could anyone point me to a guide for the g2x on how to change this? I've been searching and I can't find anything that works on g2x. Running cm7 rc1 and Trinity kernel. Thanks!

Find a bootanimation.zip you like save it. Open root explore or the likes mount system as writable. Go to system then media erase bootanimation.zip and paste the one you want there. Pretty simple in the vibrant section under theming there is a how to on making boot animations.

I think he's asking for the splash screen (LG logo). The boot animation is different from the splash screen. It's the graphic image before the boot animation.

Yeah that's what I'm looking for... I can change the boot animation, no problem. Its just the splash screen that comes up before the animation that I'm looking to change

Unless I'm mistaken, that would be a function of the BIOS, so if anything could change out the kernel would.
But I have no experience with this particular thing, it's just my gut instinct.

Does anyone have any further information on this? I would really like to be able to change this, my parents and I like the Trinity kernels... until my parents noticed the "666 morfic" on the bottom of the splash screen lol

DROID RAZR Boot Animation
Just like it sounds...this is the RAZR boot animation resized and optimized for the Incredible. Gotta show some love, the INC was good to me...
Sadly, this file is huge compared to most of the boot animations out there (19.18 MB), but I tested it on my old INC and it looks phenomenal.
Thanks to droidth3ory for the RAZR media dump
AS ALWAYS...
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE AS A RESULT OF USING THIS CONTENT, JUST AS IT IS NO ONE ELSES FAULT FOR ANY DAMAGE I MIGHT DO TO MINE. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW THE RISKS INVOLVED, YA MIGHT JUST BE BETTER OFF STICKING WITH STOCK. It's not that complicated, just do a little research. Plenty of knowledge floating around XDA...
Simple enough:
1:: download the .zip
2:: rename it (using ES File Explorer or Astro or any ROOT EXPLORER that will allow you to MOUNT SYSTEM AS WRITABLE) by simply cutting out the "RAZR_INC_" so that it is just bootanimation.zip. On some ROMs you may need to rename the animation to "VZW_bootanimation.zip" and the audio file to "VZW_Droid.mp3"
3:: copy or cut the bootanimation.zip and paste it in the system/customize/resource folder, or wherever the boot animation file is stored on your particular ROM. For CM7 and AOSP ROMs I think they may be in a different location. RESEARCH IT
4:: if you are warned that the merge will overwrite the existing file and that the world will end... it won't...accept the merge.

**Audio is attached as well (audio.zip). The timing is not perfect, but it's about as close as I could get it. I have compared it to how it runs on my BIONIC and it's pretty damn close lol.**
UNZIP THE FILE (android_audio.mp3) AND PLACE IT IN THE SAME DIRECTORY AS THE bootanimation.zip
sytem/customize/resource SHOULD WORK
...don't be afraid to use the "THANKS" button...
So is the audio in there?

Need to extract the audio zip to get the mp3 and rename it VZW_Droid.mp3 and put it in the system/customize/resources directory and it should work, it works for me!!

FYI - I just pushed this to my Dinc running the PrimeXL-HD Rom by Joelz, the animation is in /data/local and named htc_bootanimation.zip. In case that helps someone else with that Rom or possibly another one running a Sense Rom.
I haven't done anything with the audio file, I don't really care for boot audio so I'm not sure if it will need to be htc_audio.zip or something like that, or if the default name will work.
is that sense 2.3.5? wonder if they changed it when they came out with that...thanks for bringing that up, I will update the OP

For those of you on CM6/7, instructions for enabling sound can be found here:
http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/cyanogenmod/32058-how-add-bootsound-cyanogenmod.html
Not the link I used when I did it, but it is essentially the same thing.
Then just drop the file in /data/local/android_audio.mp3
hopefully somebody can compress and reduce it. I'm sure the images would look identical since most animations are much smaller. this one is nearly 4x bigger than most I use. I don't even use an app that large lol

I rarely ask anything or respond since newbie pretty much. Sorry if posting question in wrong area for this here too. I notice says for Rarz_INC.. Is this just to do for Droid Incredible or could I put animation & sound on my Bionic? I'm getting sort of use to the boot stuff but no pro. I know where to put the Zip and audio and I believe what to mark for permissions and what & to name. Thanks in advance.. You all rock .

You have to name it as "boot.zip" and put it in /resources/customization (sorry if I spelt that wrong). If it still shows a black screen just give me your boot animation.
