I have searched - and found some circa 2008 bits on how to change startup images, but they all seem very tecky (Way out of my depth . .) I am just trying to remove my Vodafone flash video on my rooted SGS. It seems to me that it is not a simple matter . . . oh dear!!!
If you mean how to change the bootanimaton here is your tips:
with root explorer or a similar program navigate to /system/media and delete the bootanimation.zip file or replace it with one other.
I hope this will help you. Of course to do so your device must be rooted.
Just flash a kernel that supports boot animations with sgs kernel flasher, then get a boot animation changer apk and choose a boot animation you like

I find this annoying as well.
If I follow these instructions and flash to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992251
will this remove the logo?
Go to their forum, they will know!

I know this question has probably been asked a million times already, but how do you change the at&t boot logo or the firefly boot logo to a custom gif or jpeg?
Mobiletechvideos.com has a batch for changing the att logo and a video showing you how to use it, I can't post a link (see rule 11). The firefly is a bootanimation.zip that is located in /system/media you can swap that out with another bootanimation.zip with adb or a root file explorer.

I don't believe he's asking about the param.lfs, but rather the kernel image.
please answer which you are asking about as I can explain how to do either. though studacris is right about the bootanimation change and the param.lfs change (which is in a video we aren't allowed to link to)
The kernel says sgs-I897 not att I believe, whatever the speedmod has. But if you know how to change the kernel image, please enlighten me!

it requires compiling your own kernel and modifying the logo_rgb24_wvga_portrait.h in drivers/video/samsung to what you want using morfic's tools here: https://github.com/morfic/Samsung-logo
you cannot change it without building your own kernel though
ok there is the att splash screen that can only be flashed from odin
an att boot animation that is part of the kernel, with the flying things and the annoyingly loud sounds
and a samsung boot animation that is in a proprietary format and cant be replaced
then with i9000 kernels there is a kernel splash screen instead of att animation
the speed mod kernel is a i9000 kernel with an edited splash screen to say i897. the captivate doesnt have this screen stock
on modified kernels the boot animation is changed to the standard bootanimation.zip that most other android phones use.
to change the att splash screen you need odin. follow the thread below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849789
to change the kernel animation/splash screen, i dunno, ask a kernel dev, or just fond a kernel with one you like.
to change a boot animation get a kernel that supports bootanimation.zip and find a good boot animation, there are a few in the themes and apps section, just place the boot animation.zip file in /system/media

you're confusing your terms, there are 3 separate "boot" pieces.
1) bootsplash = param.lfs (first image you ever see)
2) bootlogo = logo_rgb24_wvga_portrait.h which is built into the kernel (AT&T kernels have this as well, it's just identical to the param.lfs one on stock, install the OverStock kernel if you don't believe me and see it's been changed)
3) bootanimation = either Samsung's bootsamsung.qmg or bootanimation.zip
depending on which the OP was asking about, each one of these are changed differently. please don't spread conflicting (and incorrect) information.
Would I be out of place to mention BootAnimation Changer from the market?

Hi,
I have problems setting up a custom boot animation with CF-Root-XX_UNK_JVQ-v3.7-CWM3RFS and I9000XXJVQ.
The phone is loading the bootanim but then it vibrates one time and the bootanim is looping forever. Am i missing something or is it a bug related to cf-root ?
Thanks.
If your on froyo, you need to rename the animation to bootanimation.zip if your on gingerbread then its totally different, I'm not sure what you have to rename it to but I'm positive you have to rename it, make sure you have renamed it with .zip at the end and place in system/media
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
CF-Root also supports custom boot animations:
- /system/media/bootanimation.zip
- /data/local/bootanimation.zip

JVQ is Gingerbread. I tried both upper solutions and the result is the same. After a phone reboot, the animation is loaded but it keeps playing in loop.
I have a galaxy y, recently I rooted it. I installed Rom Toolbox to change my boot screen. Even i changed it bt when i boot my phone it doesnot play my coustom boot animation. It only plays its original Samsung Boot animation. For verfication i wen inside system/media to check my bootanimation.zip bt the file contain my coustom boot screen. Bt still it plays the original one. Kindly help me plz. :-(
So it's not bootanimation.zip then. Open your /init.rc then search for "boot" or "anim". I guess the file is called "samsungani" or something like that.

- Open Root Explorer and go to system/bin
- Find and move "samsungani" to the SD card ( for Backup)
- Rename existing files "bootanimation" in the System/bin with "samsungani"
- overwrite files "bootanimation.zip" who have downloaded earlier to the system/media
- Reboot ....

When you browse the system folder using Root Explorer, right below your status bar you'll see a button which says "Mount R/W" >>> this means your system folder is currently mounted as read only. Tap this button so it changes to "Mount R/O" >>> this means your system folder is mounted as read-write.

Sorry can't help, but hopefully my reply will garner more attention. I'm also bugged by this. I can't seem to find a way to get rid of it. I tried flashing AKOP milestone 5 and I see it there.
Hey! Maybe... Just MAYBE u can do it by following these:
-download GOO Manager from Play Store
-in Goo manager, select "Browse all files"
-then select "Themes"
-and find a theme with boot logo included!
-hope i helped!!!!
guys all you need to do is to find the bootanimation.zip on the rom you like and copy that file to /system/media overwriting the existing file.
Hope it helps
changing the boot animation will not change the boot logo
