I recently got around to unlocking and rooting my Google Pixel 5, and now I'm wondering if it's possible to change the Google boot splash logo to an Apple logo?
(I used to run a rooted Samsung Galaxy S7 and I always loved having the Apple logo as my boot splash logo- thought it was hilarious).
I found the location at /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/splash and was able to copy it to my computer as an image file (attached below).
However, I have no clue how to edit it as I can't seem to find a way to open it ("cannot open file as archive")
There was this forum that I found which told people to post their device name and splash image file so the OP can create a tool for it, but it seems to be inactive now so I'm kinda stuck (people have been requesting even to this date, but with no response from the OP).
Would any of you guys be able to help me out on this? Or should I forget about it cause it might be too dangerous to fiddle around with because I can very easily brick my device if a new boot splash image is incompatible?
Attached is the splash.img and what I presume to be the Google Pixel 5 boot animations that I found under /system/product/media
(Although it seems like my phone doesn't use either of them- might be because of the new Android 12 wallpaper based logo colours).

Hey all,
i''ve added CustClear.provxml and subtituted 8bit Kid.mp3 to Everybody's Changing to my ROM.
But, when i want to change the logo, i got stuck
THe instruction Said "To change Logo, click on Logo0, then, click Image -> Add file, then replace it w/ *.bmp file"
but, i got that button DeadLocked
do you guys ever had that problem like me, if so, do you have a solution to share with.....
Thanks
Hello everyone,
there are several threads regarding this topic but non gives the right answer (most with answers are only about CHANGING the boot animation). What I want on my Z1: Disable that Animation. The more booting messages I get the better it is. But I do not want to install some fake kernel message animation. Default Android logo would be still better than the current animation.
So is there a way to disable the boot animation to get raw booting information?
Thanks!
Best,
Fresh
I didnt hear there are such things as u want. But I understand u somehow, maybe u like it to be more raw rather then too skin-deep. For me i hate to fake android version on device info or fake lollipop skin on kitkat (back few months i mean, we use real lollipop now). Some days later people will fake marshmallow = ="" so meaningless for me. But for booting i never care about it for real so it doesnt matter to me
For your current situation maybe u can flash the android logo to cover the animation? OK it is still skin deep sh1t ...
Hello! I've got two tablets that are driving me up the wall, as I'm quite stubborn. I wanna start off by saying these tablets were brought to me by another individual, so I have no real background knowledge aside from how the tablets are behaving.
Both tablets are model SM-T817T.
One is just FRP locked and I cannot find a combination file to it, nor can I find any workarounds for the lock. Is it possible to port an existing combination file to a similar model? Because I have found one for the T817J model.
The other tablet is more complicated. It's stuck in a bootloop (flashes the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 logo when plugged up to power or a PC). I cannot bring up the recovery menu, but I can bring up the download mode. I've tried to flash it with the latest firmware, but despite the successful flash through Odin, I get the same bootloop on restart. I have also tried draining the battery as well as charging it to 100%. I'm thinking the partitions are corrupted, but I'm not certain about what I should do to resolve the issue. I'm reading that I need a PIT file to repartition in Odin, but I can't find one. It might also be worth noting that Download mode displays "FRP Lock: On."
I thought, perhaps I could unlock the former and use it to create a backup image for the latter...?
Thanks for your time. :victory: I hope you understand I'm a little new to this Android business, but I'm an aspiring programmer and would love to learn more about mobile software.
[Edit] So, I've finally found my own workaround and removed the FRP lock from the working tablet. I flashed Marshmallow, then used the hotspot trick to put a pattern lock on the screen. On the unlock screen, I pressed the user icon in the top right corner and added a new account, then used the QuickShortcutMaker trick to do the rest. I've also rooted the tablet.
Now, I extracted the PIT file from the working tablet to pair with the same stock ROM to revive the bootlooping tablet via repartition flash. When I attempted to flash the bootlooping tablet, the PIT check failed. I suppose I'm missing something here... Any ideas? Thanks again!!
So i bought and installed this radio. it has been a great radio so far. their customer service also allows for you to customize the boot logo to a more factory look. so thoughts on if it is possible to include something like android auto through a third party setup. It looks to be android based but doesnt include it from the start. I am not gifted when it comes to coding and unsure of where to even begin. I will include the amazon link and i also have the update file they sent me with the pictures i uploaded to them. Also if someone might be able to guide me into incorporating more images without having to email them as i like to change things like the boot logo and maybe have a animation type logo if possible. the file they sent me was a .bin file and upon extracting it it just shows a blank file.
Amazon.com
this is the update file.
i want to get rid of the annoying splash screen that my device is rooted, on my previous samsung devices i could modify the up_param.bin and edit the pictures removing the annoying messages, but when try and find the file in latest firmware i can't find it anymore, does it exist anymore in the bootloader file, or have it changed places?
does anyone know?
I don't know the answer to this, so I hope you don't mind me chiming in: This is definitely a pet peeve of mine, too on all devices with unlocked bootloaders that I have experience with.
The only time such splash screens would be useful is if your device had been bootloader unlocked without your knowledge, and I bet that hasn't happened very frequently at all. Otherwise, it's just an annoying big advertisement to anyone who does steal your device that "Hey, this device can be hacked even easier than normal." Thanks, Google and OEMs. [/sarcasm]

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
removes the warning splash only work on exynos and not snapdragon
The splash file you are looking for is splash.img but to retrieve it. You need to be root to get it.
1. Run su on adb or android terminal
2. Enter "cp /dev/block/by-name/splash /sdcard/splash.img"
3. Move it to your PC then thats about it
Hope this helps ^^
