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
Many views and no replys!!!!!!!!!!!

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
Sent via my Samsung Galaxy S
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?

I was going to flash a ROM so I went into TWRP and wiped everything. Then I noticed I needed to update my radio. while still in recovery I I turned on usb toggle mode and sent the radio to my sd card. I rebooted into recover and it asked me to update my PG86IMG file so I said yes. I then had to press power to reboot, only problem is I have no ROM to boot to. and when I remove batter to get into recovery it's asking me if I want to update again. I hit no and the only other option I have is to hit power to reboot, but again there's nothing to boot to. My phone is stuck on splash screen.
How can I fix this?
Isnt there a IMG file that will put you back to stock ROM, recov and everything? I'd look for it in development.

but how would this work? I can't do anything but remove battery then go into recovery but when I go into recovery it's asking me to update my IMG file. I hit no, but there's no option to go back into recovery. the only option I have is to hit power to reboot which leaves me stuck on splash screen. How would I get any file on my phone?
Through the bootloader, you may need to use a card reader if one is available. That's probably the only way to get the img file onto your card at the moment.

Yeah... This happened to me once, I just took the SD out of my phone put it in an adapter and deleted the file using my pc.
Edit. The big guy on top of me already said that.....that doesn't sound right.. lol

You will need to use a SD reader like ^^^ said. Once you get it off, put a rom on there at the same time and flash.
This is why nandroids are a life saver. You can call me sissy all you want, I like to have my ducks in a row just in case.

Guess I mis-read this part.
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.

Same here..but not a bit of an issue.
Theme feels incomplete with these leftovers.

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.
[BOOT LOGO + ANIMATION] Moto Logos (Multi-Color, Blur, & MOTOX) - Updated 10/12/13
Just sharing some work I did on aligning some boot logos and animations using OEM Moto logos. All of these were converted from animations originaly from Motorola.
These are CWM flashable, and they change the Boot Logo and the Boot Annimation so that they flow into one another.
These are designed to work with GB ROM's, I have only tested them with NottachTrix and CSROM. If you want to use them with other ROM's then extract the bootanimation.zip file from within these and copy it over tot he right /system folder
!! NEW !! Moto X Boot Animation (revolving world scape ... kind of thing). I had to mod the animation due to our Atrix's capability, but ti still looks pretty cool

Yea I agree, but that was in the OEM animation. I was thinking of shortening the animation and trying to eliminate the Blur word, but that is a ton of editing of a lot of individual files.

Sorry to hear that. It'd be great to have a version in line with the red and grey.
For what it's worth, I'm on grey now and really dig it. If you manage to find a way to load the blue (or find it elsewhere), post it on here.

Yep, I built them for NottachTrix4G and CSROM (should work with other Blur based ROMs). However, they could be converted to work with CM7 if you wanted to.

Try putting it in /data/local/bootanimation.zip.
Although, putting it in /system/media should work too, dunno why it doesn't. Are you sure you did it right?

The fact that you get a blackscreen tells me that you put the file in the right place. That leads me to believe there is something wrong with the bootanimation.zip file you are using.
Did you by chance unzip the bootanimation.zip file itself? And then rezip it before moving it to the Atrix? If so, did you happen to rezip the bootanimation file normaly? I ask because I did that a one point and caused the very same issue.
A bootanimation.zip must be made without compression, or set as "store" not "archive" when Zip'ing. If you answered yes to all of this then the solution is to get a bootanmiation.zip that is compressed correctly and move that to your /system/media. You can do that one of two ways,
1.) redownload my files, unzip the flashable file to get the bootanimation, but do NOT unzip the bootanimation file itself. Copy that bootanimation to your phone
or
2.) rezip the bootanimation file without compression, in 7zip you do this by setting the the pression to "store"
I'm trying to get stock splash screen back,can anyone point me in the right direction.tried numerous .zips all of them fail when I try to flash stock splash screen.....
