[Q] Change Vibrant Splash Screen - Vibrant Themes and Apps

Is there a tool for this or a way to adb a new one? I was able to do it on the G1, the mytouch and G2. HELP, I have searched and searched to no avail. I have to get rid of that boring splash screen that says Samsung Vibrant.

I looked in to this a little bit... in /mnt/.lfs there are images that look like they are the splash screen for all the models of the Galaxy S. I haven't actually tried changing them though

camalot is right....there are images in /mnt/.lfs that suggests that those are the vibrant splash files...but i dont think no one has tried changing them...it seems that i can only see them via Root Explorer....i cant see them via Droid Explorer on my PC...u can try it at your own risk if you want....but make a Nandroid and have Odin ready.....just in case....lol

Im no help, I just wanted to add that I am interested in changing the splash screen as well. I know its gotta be possible because Ive seen it done with the DoW kernel where "vibrant" was replaced with a pretty sweet picture of a dragon. Just thought Id chime in.

---

Should be possible somehow... i added a rom to my friends captivate (i know different phone) and its splash screen was changed to go with the rom... so there SHOULD be a way to go in and change it... heres a link to a video of that rom, you'll see what im talking about..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnZSQsfVhFk

---

I realize it is possible. I am just wondering the steps needed to do it. Usually a image editing program is neede also.

The D.O.W. Kernals that Team Whiskey has charge the boot screens. You may want to speak with one of them to see how they work their magic there.

I think you're referring the the boot screen. He's talking about the splash screen that says VIBRANT in plain black and white.

---

The boot animation is different from the splash screen. The splash its the Samsung vibrant screen you see before the boot animation. You will probably have to chmod the directory before you can change anything in there

I have sent
a message to the creators of the D.O.W. and have had no luck receiving anything back.

Opening a DOW zip file has the directory as such:
kernel_update
redbend_ua (307kb)
zImage (5685kb)
system
bin
sqlite3 (24kb)
etc
vold.conf (1kb)
vold.fstab (2kb)
build.prop (3kb)
So it would appear that it's either zImage or redbend_ua.

No, I was talking about the splash screen, not the boot screen. Instead of having the black and white vibrant screen, they have a picture of a bomb going off on the DOW Kernals. Download it and check it out.

I heard it was somewhere in zImage

all
of my prior splash screen changes have been done through adb or fastboot. I am pretty sure I shouldn't have to mess with a zimage to change this.

I know that it was a lot easier on the HTC devices and that's what I'm coming from pesonally. But I'm actually pretty certain that it is compiled in the zImage file. Which would mean that it would have to be decompiled, edited and recompiled with your desired image. It sounds like a lot of work but I'm sure that once you get everything set up it would be a breeze!

hmm
So what would I use to open this zimage and edit it?
