So I recently unlocked my bootloader and have been having tons of fun installing custom ROMs, recoveries, and doing other fun stuff. Currently, I have a dual-boot situation with hsbadr's CM13 port and Dr. Ketan's ROM. I've changed the boot animation on CM to the default Marshmallow animation, and I'm enjoying it immensely.
The only problem I have with my phone at the moment is the splash screen: the image that shows up before the boot animation, saying something like "GALAXY NOTE 4 -- powered by Android." It's also got the "Custom" overlay on it. I absolutely hate this screen. It's ugly and I kind of want something of my own in its place.
I've researched on how to change the splash screen, learning that it's called the splash screen and not a bootlogo, but I can't seem to find any guides that work for me. There are some very old guides, with non-existent files, and there's a new guide for the Note 4 here, but it doesn't work. The 0p8 file isn't a tarball, and the 0p12 file recommended later in the thread is empty when extracted.
Is there a way to change that screen on the 910V? If so, how? I can't seem to find anything, but it's probably right in front of my face.
Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this.

I have a Question ,I flashed duttys rom with no problem and all is fine,but was just wondering how to change the first boot screen with this ugly looking T-Mobile screen , I thought when you flash a rom that this First boot screen is changed also,Would be grateful to have the original HTC boot screen instead of this T-Mobile screen,,
Love this forum ,best PDA forum on the net!!!!
Have posted the Zip file containing the HTC splash.
You need an active sync connection running and then open the RUU.
Select update ROM and it will then write a new splash screen but won't alter your O/S Rom.
It takes less than 2 mins. Oh, make sure your battery is more than 50%.

Is there a method for changing the rogers splash screen? I figured out how to do the regular boot animation and now I just need this.
edit: found another thread on this, could a passing mod please delete.
How? If you manage to get a new splash, please post here No delete!
can you also point me towards how to change the boot animation ?
On Osimood, the boot animation is located at /system/media/sanim.zip so just put your new boot animation in those coordinates (backup the old one first if you want). I used root browser to do so, its in the market.
And unfortunately, I've yet to figure out the splash screen. But there is a thread in the general section on the subject that I'm watching hopefully.
Please Can someone lead me in the direction to a flashable zip for The Stock T-mobile flash screen and Boot animation. I've looked all over for them and cant seem to find it. Its the one with the little Green corny rocket man and the samsung pulsating!!!! I know most of you hate the stock animation but I like it and would like to have it please. :fingers-crossed:
Hey, I've done some reading up around here, and I'm looking to change my boot logo (Boot logo. Not the animation). So far, it doesn't look like anyone other than the developer of Logo Me has any method to do so.
From what I understand, "fastboot flash logo.bin logo.bin" doesn't work as it does on most other devices.
Now, I'm no professional, but I've got some of what many don't have: time and dedication.
It boils down to this: To change the boot logo, I'd need (1) a way to get the boot.img off of the phone, (2) a way to reliably edit the boot.img without corrupting it or messing with the format, (3) a way to figure out which file is the boot logo, and (4) a way to get the modified boot.img back onto the phone (again without messing it up in the process).
I'm fairly sure (4) is solved with "fastboot flash boot.img boot.img", but the others, not so easily dismissed.
When I make a nandroid backup in TWRP, the boot backup is an 8MB "boot.emmc.win". I'm fairly sure that this might be of some use, even if it's only for opening and exploring the contents of the partition.
I'm not sure if anybody has any remarkable leads that they've kept to themselves, but I'd figure this would be a good place to start.
Boot.img = ramdisk+kernel
Nothing to do with boot splash

the image that youre looking for is somehow connected to the bootloader. so far only ezekeel has figured out a way to do it safely. key word is safely. it appears as its very easy to brick the device if a mistake is made. now, that said, ezekeel isnt your ordinary app developer. hes also one of the smartest, most creative kernel developers that the android has(that doesnt work for google). youve probably even used one of his many kernel mods in one or more custom roms/kernels that youve tried, across varying devices.

I own a 16gb/2gbram UK device that I bought on ebay. My device is unlocked to any network out of the box but is a 3UK device and has a 3UK splash screen. Whatever generic kdz I install, my 3UK splashscreen remains.
On other devices I have owned, if I flash a generic rom I end up with a generic splash screen. My question is, if I root my device and change the splash screen to a generic one then return to stock using a generic kdz, would my generic splash screen remain? :laugh:
EDIT Solved. Information required is in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/themes-apps/bootanimation-android-5-0-l-boot-t2814467
the link takes me to boot animations. the splash screen (on my d851) is just a white screen that says lg. the boot animation comes after it. replacing boot animations isnt super difficult, though some devices will have funny locations and multiple animations to figure out. when I had my old t-mo g2 (htc vision, NOT lg g2) i changed both the splash screen and boot animation, but since have not found a way to modify splash screens.
EDIT: just realized this post is a year old. oh, the shame.
Aha, I had this same issue, real annoying, am I right?
Anyway, flash the stock firmware that associates to your device. It removed the splash screen for me, but I meant all my data was reset, to absolute factory. It was certainly a lot of work seeing as the amount of bloatware it installs is insane, but you should give it a go.
