[Q] Splash Screen

Hello i wanted to know if there is any way to change the splash screen on the Samsung Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302133

ty, but i was hoping to change the one before the boot animation the one you only see for a sec or where i can find that image in the rom

i think that one is baked into the bootloader. or at least i haven't found it yet.

i know when i had the optimus v i could just hold some buttons to get into bootloader mode can you do that with our phone ?

yup
volume down and power gets you into download mode to flash from odin
volume up and power gets you into recovery to backup and install custom zip files
have to have a kernel with cwm (custom recovery) as the sprint one is pretty useless
pretty much any one from the dev section works and its also backed into almost all the roms

can you edit the bootloader in any way ?

you can pull it with adb
its partition # mmcblk0p2 i believe
but edit it easily. thats another matter entirely.
it's not just a normal file you can open to replace images.
edit
you'd use the
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=/sdcard/boot.bin"
command or something pretty close to that was off the top of my head
edit again you may check out the source on samsungs website if you feel brave might be able to build one from that actually.

[Solved] Boot Animation Help

Ok, I have been pulling my hair out over this creating a boot animation process! Here are the things I have tried:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/tutorial-and-step-by-step-guide-to-creating-boot-animations/
This is a great tutorial and I am pretty sure I am following it correctly, but when I install the one I created I get a black screen instead of a boot animation.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678540&highlight=create+boot+animation
This is a nice little tool, and I used it. I created the animation, previewed the animation and it all looks good and appears to work. That is until I install it on my phone, I have even tried to use the program to push to my phone, but I don't think it likes me. All I get a black screen instead of the boot animation.
I have changed the permissions to rw--r--r.
I have created the desc.txt with Notepad++ and windows based notepad.
I am saving it into system/media.
I am verifying the name is "bootanimation.zip".
I have tried to use ROM Toolbox to install it but still get a black screen.
The dimensions are 480x800 and FPS is 30.
I am running the CM10 Global ROM build 1 by DKStunna108
Here is the file if someone has time to look at it and see if something looks off: http://d-h.st/I1Y
Any help would greatly be appreciated, I am just not sure what I am doing wrong...it is probably something easy that I am over looking.

[BOOT ANIMATION] Matrix green landscape

this is a boot animation that i converted from the intro of matrix 1 movie. I do not own this animation the owners are the owners of the matrix movie.
i simply converted it to animation and formatted it for 1280 x 720 screens
it starts with matrix code then says "the matrix" and after that you get the green cursor blinking.
this took hours to do so thank me if you are thankful.
to make this your shutdown animation, name the zip "shutdownanimation.zip" (no caps) and drop and replace any existing file in /system/media/
if you want to save your old animation just rename it before you drop the file there. ( youll need to use a program like ES file explorder with root access and mount system directory in order for this to work ) then unmount after, and reboot.
same goes for bootanimation the file name is bootanimation.zip sometimes this goes in /system/media/ but more likely then not the boot animation goes in /data/local/ if you want to be safe just copy it to both locations. again ES file explorer is capable of accessing your data folder.
(root required)
any damage done to your phone is your own fault, only use this file if your phone has a screen resolution of 1280x720
if you have another resolution phone you can open the desc.txt file in notepad++ and change the resolution and it should work, just make sure you use the right resolution and you change the smaller number with the smaller number and larger with larger or else your image will be distorted.
note: this method can change most animation resolutions as long as the dimensions are somewhat similar. android will scale the files, if not you'll see distorted images or nothing.
SIDE NOTE: i recommend testing all animations with shutdownanimation.zip FIRST. this way if there is an issue you can pull your battery and boot into your phone and fix it, if you create a problem with bootanimation it could be a little harder to fix, although most of the time a faulty animation will be skipped by the system rather than causing boot loops (most of the time, i have heard of problems thats why i recomend trying any animation not verified working with your phone as a shutdownanimation first)
note on some custom roms like Cyanogenmod you don't want to use a shutdownanimation. because it's shutdown process is like 2 seconds, stock roms do alot of reflashing during shutdown (or something to that nature) and its more like an 8 second shutdown, in this case you'll see "phone shutting down" dialogue for 4-5 seconds" if you are getting that i would recommend using an animation as its much more pleasant to look at.

by the way this animation would look GREAT on a tablet, anything that's 1280x720 should be able to use the file straight up and any other resolution tablet just change the desc.txt file like i described above

another note is that if you unpack the zip at any time and have to repack it, use winrar and make sure you use compression method: STORE and not normal compression (this will cause black screen because the program expects a uncompressed zip file)

here is a matrix code animation that is portrait style instead of landscape with no "the matrix" words just the matrix code. i didn't make this one i just formatted it for 1280x720, i got it off the app "bootanimations root" and reformatted it.

if anyone is having trouble resizing an animation they like, post the animations .zip file here that you download for any other android phone or tablets animation that you want to use with your phone, give me the dimensions of your phone (this can be found by good your phones name and "specs" for instance for this phone lg p930 specs, youll get lists of specs for the phone, and it'll tell you this phone is 1280x720. so give me the zip from the animation you want to use and your phones resolution and i'll make the changes and repack the file for you. (if you dont use the right zip app and text editor it won't work)

Unable to flash it. Says invalid zip
TWRP latest
My phone is 720 p it is sure
Can u still help me?

This is my current boot animation
I found it has 3 parts while ur one has 1
In this animation please replace Part 2 by matrix Green
As I like part1& part3 but hate part2
I m on android 7.1.2 nougat
Mi REDME 3s prime
Custom rom RR 5.8.5

[Q] Porting-Help SM-T211

Hi guys,
I might warn you first, I'm a beginner and this might be a silly question.... just saying....
I'm trying to port Cyanogenmod to my Tab3 7.0 3g .
Actually I made a working recovery, I can backup my system and restore it, also I can install the infamous-rom and it works.
But on my own "rom" I got stucked on the Samsung Bootlogo .
I searched on google and found two types of Error:
1. If you reboot the tablet and the display shows nothing --> boot.img doesn't work
2. If you reboot and the bootanimation is displayed over and over again (boot loop) --> System.img doesn't work
I'm not sure if it's a boot loop or if it might freeze at the samsung logo, but I can restart recovery or bootloader.
Well the cyanogenmod-bootanimation isn't displayed , so I wonder if anybody would give me a hint what might be wrong.
Also I wonder about the partition-sizes.
I read the cyanogenmod porting guide and it is said that the partition sizes must be multiplied with the blocksize which typically is 1024.
Well on the Tab I found out that the Blocksize is 4096 ( adb shell -> df /system)
, so i might use this blocksize to get the actually partition_size right?
Well,
enough silly questions for today :silly:
Thanks for reading and helping.
Bye Vinny

one try

[Splashscreen] LG G3

So,
since I finally decided that I don't want to look at the LG Splashscreen on my D855 anymore, I thought:
Let's change it !
However...
I'm not sure if thats possible.
Will this work ?
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=866474
It says it requires:
- terminal access thru pc
- fastboot
- an image file 480x800 px (converted from a 256 color bmp)
Has anyone tried this and successfully changed their Splash Screen ?
/
Is there another way to do this ?

Its built in kernal deep or deeper weve done been throught this one believe its stored in the aboot partition
