I am new to Samsung phones. Two week agao, I got the S2 T989 with broken screen very cheap, so I decided to replace the screen and learn about. This week I got the screen and fix it. It doea works great and I love it, but I have a problem with. I had previously 2 HTC phones - MT4G and MT4G slide. I was able to get the S=off and had full control of my phone. I put my own splash logo and bootanimation. I flashed many roms and never brick them. Now I have a dilemma as I can not flash my own splash logo as it is part of boot system. I am average "joe" not any software developer. Can I replace the bootloader or flash my own logo - as I did on HTC?. Sorry for the rant, but I was under impression that I own the phone and can do whatever I want to with.
Splash logos are hard to change on samsung phones. Bootanimation is easy but splash is usually embedded in the framework of rom or phone itself.

Splash logos are the hardest to change. I used to put my business logo on my old HTC phones. I was strictly htc for a while. I leaped to galaxy and love it. They have an app in the playstore I heard of that might be able to help. I never tried it myself. BUt if you want to give it a try it's called SGS2 BootScreen Changer and its compatible with the T989 because it came up when i searched it.

The boot screen changer told me that I have wrong kernel. I guess that this app is not ready.

The white Google logo at the beginning when you turn the phone on.
All the other images I found are not of high enough quality.
This?
Yes. But the original one from the phone.
What's different about it?
The logo is bigger, and the resolution is 768x1280.
Is there anyway to extract the original one from the phone? I need it to be exact.
I don't think you wanna mess around with this since the so called boot splash is built in to the kernel. If you know this stuff, change it in your kernel at the high risk of a brick and if you're a noob like me, just let it be.

So by replacing this image with the same file name out will boot the new image?
Does file size matter?
Yes, I just want to make it part of my boot animation. I need the actual image so I can mess around with it and add new things to it.

You should also find out if the size of the image makes a difference with noting or is updates
I tried other images I found on Google Images but the resolution are too small.
I enlarged and expanded to size but it makes the Google Logo blurry and the detail deteriorates extremely.
Is there a way I can extract the original image?
Please.
Again.
I don't understand... Why don't you just get the highest res Google logo you can find on Google images and put it against a 768x1280 background?

Wow. You're like one of those people that call tech support and give the most vague answers and descriptions turning what could have been a 10 minute call into a 2 hour call. It took two pages just to understand what you were wanting, lol. Ok, ok...now that i've picked on you, i'll be serious. To help you out in future requests, it's always best to give out as much info as possible. What is the request, what is it for. It's always best to give out too much information rather than too little.
I agree with another poster here. Just download a high res google logo and slap it onto a background the size you need. Gimp is free and can do just this.
Oh, also found this (just happened to be browsing in the boot animations thread. I haven't seen the animation itself, but it's the logo from the splash screen with 2 gears under it. I'm sure with a small amount of editing, you can get this to do what you want.

The Google logo is built Into the boot loader. Good lick extracting it.

I don't see what the big deal is. He asked for an image and you guys all get into his business as,img what it's for. It doesn't matter, he just asked for the image.. you are the one making this complicated.
Now, OP you can probably find an image on google images or try to figure out how to extract it rom the splash image
Hi, folks!
I'm kinda new to the XPeria S - got mine yesterday - but not to the community: had a Motorola Defy for over 2 years before the XS, and a HTC Magic before the Defy, both dealing with flashing on a weekly basis. My question is: on both my previous Android phones, changing splash screen (the one that appears before boot animation) was quite simple: on Magic, pushing a file via adb or fastboot (can't remember now), and on Defy a multi-purpose app did the trick. On XS, though, splash screen seems to be tied to the kernel image. I'd like to know if there's any way to change that, since I really want a splash screen of my choice, instead of the one chosen by the kernel dev. Thanks in advance.

For all my fellow Deadheads out there - boot splash image for AT&T Galaxy SIII - Not Dead....Just Grateful.
I have only the AT&T Galaxy SIII to test with, but should in theory work on any device with a 720x1280 screen size.
Image by me.
Many thanks to con247 for creating the tool that I used to create the flashable zip.
Preview (Dropbox): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/204816/Galaxy%20SIII%20Bootsplash.bmp
Instructions:
1. Download attached zip file, or via Dropbox.
2. Flash in CWM or TWRP.
3. Reboot and enjoy!
Questions or problems? Send me a message.
Like it? You're welcome already!
Love it! I miss Jerry.

I was listening to the dead when I found this. Awesome. However I was also partaking in a popular deadhead hobby, so is this a boot animation? I made a dancing bear battery for my wife's vivid awhile back. If I still have it ill get it flashable for us and post a link if you want to try it.

This is just a bootsplash, however, I had started to work on one using screen caps from the Grateful Dead Movie, but I never really got it finished up. I originally developed this splash and the animation for my old HTC Inspire 4G, so I'll need to do some resizing/reworking to make it compatible with the SGS3.
Previously, I was using a tool called Boot Animation Factory (see this post) which made the process super simple, but I'll have to do some research into the process for SGS3.
I'd love to see what you've got. Get it flashable and I'll give it a spin!
Ill get that converted over and post it probably tomorrow.
Edit: Bad things. My wifes sd card is 99% dead. The bad kind. Know any tricks for recovering data? While you're thinking, I've heard just about all of them done 50 different ways, but this is my all time favorite.(I'm not starting an off topic here, just what Jerry would have wanted me to do. Share!) Sorry for mp3. Lost the original show.

Hey guys, I'm not sure what to do next. I recently flashed in Jedi Master 14, which I'm loving, amd decided to be ridiculous and theme the entire phone to Star Wars, or as much as possible. DD gave me a Yoda shutdown anim, and I used the in-house boot animation installer from Rom Toolbox to change my boot animation.
Which led me to my sounds. Figured I'd start off easy with the lockscreen sounds, replce the watery splooshes with saber deactivation/ignition. So I did a bit of research amd figured out how to do it.
Found the files, that was easy. Also found an app to convert my downloaded mp3s to oggs, changed them, copied out the original sounds, put the new ones in, chamged the permissions to match their neighbors, rebooted and tested. Silence. I just also tried changing ownership so both list as "root," same as the other oggs, rebooted and tested again. Still nothing.
At this point, I'm wondering about file size/length, but my digging has yet to give anything about that. Do I need those, or at least the sizes, to match the originals? Any help or advice would be awesome.
Tl; dr, I broke things help.

You'll find the option to fix permissions in a menu someplace after you boot to recovery. In twrp it's under advanced. Not sure about cwm

Ahhh, I understand. I have the same. How old?
And thankee. I found the command, backing up first, just to be safe. If this works, I'm going to be so happy.
And on that note, Pandora just starting playing Alestorm. This is a blessed venture, I think.
Backup finished quicker than I thought. Still no dice. Any other ideas?

Looks great....except we need root.
Well turns out these can't be used on this phone just yet.. samsung completely got rid of any reference of a bootanimation file relating to zips, they are all qmgs so until someone makes a kernel that supports custom boot ani's these can't be used
added stock nexus boot ani

Problem is our (Verizon) variant of the Note 3 will have a locked bootloader, so we'll have no custom recovery to flash your boot animations .... I think in due time we'll see Root access, but an unlocked boatloader will be more time consuming/difficult to achieve.
