I haven't seen a thread yet on changing the splash screen. Do we have a method of doing so yet?
Thanks.

You need to flash a kernel that allows you to change the boot animation. Read the op's for each available kernel.

Thank you for the reply, but I am referring to the Samsung splash screen, the very first thing you see when you boot the phone, not the boot animation.

I can understand wanting to change a boot animation, but that samsung logo is on there for like 2 seconds

What an extremely unhelpful and unnecessary reply. Whether you can muster up the understanding or not, people change splash screens on their phones all the time (just check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=938988, or http://forum.xda-developers.com/tags.php?tag=splash+screens). There is nothing unusual about it at all.
It's a personal preference, I like the Samsung splash, but I hate the Rogers one!

And thats fine.lets keep it peacefull please.
I am interested in changing the slash screen and boot animation.
I would like to change the boot animation of a custom rom I just installed to the ICS one, is there a way to do it without the need of re-installing the rom?
The splash screen is built into the kernel if I recall correctly.
I don't believe there is an easy way to change it. Maybe one of our kernel devs could give some input. I know faux changed the splas screen in his kernel but I do miss the ease of changing it on a whim

in this case yes, its only a couple pages. but if the thread had been long, no.
At the risk of being punished for necromancy here's a little guide by me that explains how to change splash for pretty much any android device http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1575106 (it deals with viewpad 7 but same steps can be adapted easily to any device with any splash resolution with just a bit of common sense )
Hope it helps people who are looking to change splash for "unusual" devices and saves them some time (I had to spend quite some time torturing the VP 7 to "get it right")

Rom Toolbox says that it can be used to change boot animation & boot logos.. Is it as simple as the description suggests, and does it work with our phones?
Sent From my Two Tin Cans & String Device on The Wookie Network
I just tried Rom Toolbox and it does not support changing the splash/boot image; no phone even close to the Galaxy S II is listed.
Nor does it work for changing the boot animation, for what it's worth...

Using an app like root explorer,
Go into system/media then copy and paste your current bootanimation.zip somewhere else as a backup.
Then after turning on read/write delete it and replace it with the bootanimation.zip of your choice. (tip) Sometimes you need to name it sanim.zip instead of bootanimation.zip and
Reboot.
[Now back to my lab to try and make a custom boot animation...mwahahahaha.]

Boot animation
Thanks ever so much for your replies:
/System/Media - Attempted those steps and none worked. In that folder there are Qmg files within this folder.
Any other suggestions? As for turning on read write im certain that its turned on as I"m using Root Explorer.
Sorry for the late reply. The splash screen is, the first image that shows then comes the boot animation.
Idk how to change the infuses splash but I kno on the att sgs2 we got to flash a custom image with Odin then run a .bat. This of start the sgs2 has do.
I did at one time try an app that did this, but it messed up one of my files and did a boot loop
.
Sent from my i777 high in the sky
you need a kernel that supports bootanimation.zip. the infusion kernel does but its named sanim.zip instead. if you are on froyo then get the defuse or community kernel infusion froyo for overclock...
on gingerbread you are looking for the entropy DD or hellraiser or infusion gb.
the stock kernel plays a .qmg file which is proprietary and can only be replaced with files from galaxy s phones. if all you want to do is get rid of the att branding then you can take the Samsungboot.qmg or whatever from a galaxy s i9000 rom.
boom.

its not nearly as easy as changing out a zip...you have to edit a database file and push it back onto a read-only partition...
buuuuuut thats only half of it as the splash screen is actually two images back to back
the other image is in the kernel and i have no idea how to f*cks with that
Then why doesn't someone hack it? Or try it...don't talk about it....today I will release Zeus with facial recognition, I didn't say when the hardware was released "idk if infuse can run this or not"....I just grabbed the files and got my dev on....I'm sure the splash screen can be changed....tho I've never tried...I'm sure it can...just grab the files you need and test test test....don't wonder...do it...

maybe this weekend... but really its not that easy.
but I forgot it may be in the kernel not param.ifs and bootloaders. I gotta dig into really old threads. I don't think its in the bootloaders like the i9000 gb bootloaders but if it is I'm certainly not messing with it. if its the kernel then I can take a crack at compiling one from someones github but I've never done it successfully.
the thing is I know who knows about each mod but haven't really ever gotten questions answered..

have you tested this? it looks like the same package as the captivate... will the infuse boot on a jpu param.ifs?
yes it is the same i tested this on my infuse, im running seredipity VII infuse and it vorks just fine,thanks.
Currently running AOKP Milestone 6 and I've been able to add my own custom boot animation (system/media/bootanimation.zip) and custom boot sound/music (system/media/boot_audio.mp3).
Now, I'd like to have some Shutdown Animation. I've tried creating a folder "shutdown" (system/media/video/shutdown) and placed a shutdown animation, shutdown.qmg
I've also tried naming my bootanimation.zip as downanimation.zip to see if it would work, but still to no avail.
Tried looking around the forums for other methods, but I'm not sure if I'm looking in the right place or if AOKP just doesn't allow it.
Any information/help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Yeah, after snooping around the forums I think I've just come to the conclusion that it just doesn't work on my build...
Anyone know/think otherwise?

I just picked up two of these phones in black. These are the brand new version. Problem is, there are so many myTouch versions (some with keyboard and others without). They have a 1.4Ghz Snapdragon processor and seem like a good phone. They have a 4" screen.
I can barely find any info on this phone. I want to skip the root and just flash CWR and a custom ROM. Any info on this phone yet? I know it's still new.
Moved to General Q&A.
I have the same phone, the only thing I have found for this phone is a root.

As the OP stated earlier, he means the Boot Logo, not the Boot Animation.
The Boot Logo is the "Google" text when the phone first turns on.
Since this was done back on the GNEX, I hope that someone will be able to figure out how to do it for the Nexus 5

For people that are confused, its called the "oem logo" its basically the "Google" text that appears before the boot animation. I remember making these, and it isn't really that hard. Just rgb5 format of an image and then rename it to .egf made it for the old Huawei U8160 phones :')
But those phones had it built into the system and not the boot loader, so this is pretty tricky.

Yea I agree with you. I was however allways wondering what it was called.. I've always tried to get it to change, on my Note 1, s3.. etc.. to feel more Google Like.. never really succeeded.
However I think it can be done, in this video from Phone Tech Kid, he has a STANDARD Galaxy S4 phone, and Google Play Edition rom, installed on it. (We all know, that Google Play Edition Rom, doesn't have Samsung OEM Logo, but Google's one.)
But If we take a look at 50s mark of the video, you will se, that he has UNLOCKED key chain under the Samsung logo.. So I think that the developer of that rom, was able to somehow change it..
What do you guy's think?

It isn't impossible to change it, its just more risky and harder now. As older phones didn't have it built into the bootloader.
If someone finds a way to change it I might give a go at modding and making one, but I wouldn't do it on my own.
