Is there a tool for this or a way to adb a new one? I was able to do it on the G1, the mytouch and G2. HELP, I have searched and searched to no avail. I have to get rid of that boring splash screen that says Samsung Vibrant.

I looked in to this a little bit... in /mnt/.lfs there are images that look like they are the splash screen for all the models of the Galaxy S. I haven't actually tried changing them though

camalot is right....there are images in /mnt/.lfs that suggests that those are the vibrant splash files...but i dont think no one has tried changing them...it seems that i can only see them via Root Explorer....i cant see them via Droid Explorer on my PC...u can try it at your own risk if you want....but make a Nandroid and have Odin ready.....just in case....lol

Im no help, I just wanted to add that I am interested in changing the splash screen as well. I know its gotta be possible because Ive seen it done with the DoW kernel where "vibrant" was replaced with a pretty sweet picture of a dragon. Just thought Id chime in.
Should be possible somehow... i added a rom to my friends captivate (i know different phone) and its splash screen was changed to go with the rom... so there SHOULD be a way to go in and change it... heres a link to a video of that rom, you'll see what im talking about..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnZSQsfVhFk
I realize it is possible. I am just wondering the steps needed to do it. Usually a image editing program is neede also.

The D.O.W. Kernals that Team Whiskey has charge the boot screens. You may want to speak with one of them to see how they work their magic there.

I think you're referring the the boot screen. He's talking about the splash screen that says VIBRANT in plain black and white.
The boot animation is different from the splash screen. The splash its the Samsung vibrant screen you see before the boot animation. You will probably have to chmod the directory before you can change anything in there

I have sent
a message to the creators of the D.O.W. and have had no luck receiving anything back.
Opening a DOW zip file has the directory as such:
kernel_update
redbend_ua (307kb)
zImage (5685kb)
system
bin
sqlite3 (24kb)
etc
vold.conf (1kb)
vold.fstab (2kb)
build.prop (3kb)
So it would appear that it's either zImage or redbend_ua.

No, I was talking about the splash screen, not the boot screen. Instead of having the black and white vibrant screen, they have a picture of a bomb going off on the DOW Kernals. Download it and check it out.

I heard it was somewhere in zImage
all
of my prior splash screen changes have been done through adb or fastboot. I am pretty sure I shouldn't have to mess with a zimage to change this.

I know that it was a lot easier on the HTC devices and that's what I'm coming from pesonally. But I'm actually pretty certain that it is compiled in the zImage file. Which would mean that it would have to be decompiled, edited and recompiled with your desired image. It sounds like a lot of work but I'm sure that once you get everything set up it would be a breeze!
hmm
So what would I use to open this zimage and edit it?

IDK what's up with it. It's made out of 15 PNGs and the desc.txt file but for some reason I get a black screen.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
The permissions are the same as the one that's in Viper's Rom.
unzip COLDH33t.zip and put the zip(Sprint_bootanimation inside in /system/customize/resource )using root explorer or adb

CUSTOM SPLASH SCREENS FOR THE EVO SHIFT
***must have S-OFF and FULLY rooted****
LEAVE IMAGES IN THREAD MUST BE 480x800
Feel free to edit in Gimp, Photoshop, pixlr, etc...
dont know what a splash screen is? here or the annoying white htc screen as you boot up
STANDARD DISCLAIMER: IF YOUR DEVICE BRICKS OR BREAKS BECAUSE OF YOU NOT READING I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE
Click to expand...

Instructions
1. Leave file in the root of sd card, rename PG06IMG_xxxx.zip as PG06IMG.zip
2. boot into your bootloader and it will read the file (PG06IMG.zip) as a update
3. volume up, or yes
4. done, reboot and enjoy your splashscreen
when I say 'by _______' I mean the editing, most of these images do not belong to me so I will not take credit for the original, just the edited splash.

Here is a link to a thread from January-February time frame...has some info for creating the .img file used in the PG06IMG.zip out of a .bmp file.
We used to do this in adb, but this method appears to be slicker and has the advantage of being able to change between any number of splash screens on a whim...without needing a computer.

Just went to flash mine and I had to change then name in the file from vampire to splash1 first but once I got to the splash screen it didn't come out right. I don't know what happened, but all I did was open the zip in astro and changed the name so bootloader could read it correctly.

i havn't tested it but it should work fine now... if the image is destorted then it wasn't 480x800, if it is a bootloader error then its my fault
thanks for the patience
I knew this thread looked really familiar.. Here's a thread that was started about 4 or 5 months ago Throw your Splash Screens here!. There's several nice splash screens throughout the thread, also the stock splash is in the op.
I have a strange feeling PhotoShop didn't save it as that resolution but I'll find out in a few when I go to flash.
has anyone found the file to replace with a splash screen or have any idea how we can change it?

I'm guessing you mean the boot animation (after the Samsung Galaxy Tab screen)?
system/media/bootanimation.zip
If you're rooted, and have write permissions set, replace the file with another of your choosing.

Samsung uses a proprietary .qmg file, but I haven't found where it resides on the Tab. It isn't in System/Media like it was on my old Captivate.
Actually I know how to do this. Samsung uses proprietary formats, but for splash its not qmg. That is for boot animations. I am working on this for everyone. I do not own a Galaxy Tab, but someone has donated a large sum of money and is loaning me a tab to work with so I can perfect a flash able zip for this. It should only take me a couple of weeks, consider it a WIP. I will post the zip or other instructions when I have it done
After I threw up in my mouth a little bit... I realized i don't have an iPhone
I wonder if we can use this and tweak it to work for the tab

Depends... Does the galaxy tab have a S4 processor? When I get the test tablet I will have to examine the kernel to see where the splash screen is stored. If it is in the same place all it will take to get that script to work is a few minor script modifications because that particular one uses a assert get prop to make sure its d2vzw or another compatible device. (ie d2spr, d2att, d2tmo). I will post my results when I have it all done. I know its possible, but I could also make a flashable zip with a script that points to another location for the splash screen so you could load it in system/media with the boot animation and change it at will very easily like you can a boot animation. More information to follow. Please be patient

Trust me, if it could be easily done, it would be. Pretty sure that's part of the bootloader, don't advise messing with that.

thanks ill look it up once im done flashing more roms
For some reason, when I load AOKP from moboot, I get two splash screens, one with the unicorn, and then the wide lime green cyanogenmod splash screen with the play triangle. This is before the boot animation. In my /boot, the only splash file I have is moboot.splash.AOKP.tga. Would anyone have any explanation on why this would be? Is the splash built into the rom? Are others able to reproduce?
Its because you had CM9 on your TouchPad before. Theres files left over from in. The files are in the boot folder on the root of your device. I'm not sure the name of the image but you can delete the cyanogenmod one. Along with the file that displays the cyanogenmod option on the moboot screen if you havent already. Someone else will have to jump in and tell you the exact file names to delete.

My understanding is that there may be a 2nd splash screen built into the rom, according to other reports online. Anyone have any insight on this?

In my boot folder, there are no files that mention CM or CyanogenMod. There is only one splash file. It is named moboot.splash.AOKP.tga. The 2nd splash loading screen must be called elsewhere. It is also seen when launching TWRP from moboot.
I've got the same thing. I haven't looked to closely, but I seem to recall seeing three .tga files in there.

I believe the loading splash is independent of the .tga files. I have removed them and still get the "Cyanogenmod loading..." splash. This must be built into the rom somewhere.
I read somewhere else that if you take the rom zip and extract it, there is an image on the root of the folder that is the splash screen. Thats probably it. I havent extracted a rom to see for myself.

You are right, there is a moboot.splash.AOKP.tga file in the root of the extracted rom. I replaced my .tga with this one. It shows this file, the unicorn, but it then it shows the green "cyanogenmod loading..."
It should be noted that the TWRP also shows the "cyanogenmod loading..." when selected from moboot. I'm still thinking the loading splash is independent of the .tga file. Let me know your thoughts.

What file do you mean for the "rom"? The original .zip that is flashed?
Yes, i unziped the .zip and there is a .tpk in the root dir. There is still another loading image elsewhere. Does anyone not have the "cyanogen(mod) loading..." on their touchpad boot?

If it is an issue to have two splash screens, in the future I could just include the CyanogenMod .tga splash, and you would only see that. But, I do not really understand why it is an issue?

Thanks, I don't think it is an issue with your rom in particular. I would like to have a custom loading screen for what appears after the .tga splash. I'm referring to the "Cyanogen(mod) loading..." image. Do you know how this is generated?
this might be a dumb question, but do the splash screens increase the time it takes to boot?

I think the screen you're talking about is baked into the kernel. Not sure though.

I don't think OP has an issue as much as would like to complete a theme for his Touchpad.
I'm also interested in the source of these screens as I've reworked my MOBoot splash, re-rolled my CM9 boot animation, updated the boot .tga files (landscape)... leaving these HP pulsing logo (portrait) and the CyanogenMod loading...(portrait) not to be found.
I'll be looking into the ROM .zip to check deeper.
Mine is the same. It shows the AOKP unicorn first, and then the cyanogen(mod) loading one second, and then switches to the boot animation from the actual rom.
It's not a problem, although it would be nice to figure out where it comes from so it could be customized.
It certainly doesn't effect the use of the touchpad at all.
