I don't know if this is even possible, but on my HTC it was possible to change the screen that comes up before the boot animation, it was called a "splash screen" on the Inspire 4G. So in our case it would replace the Samsung Galaxy S2 or GT-i9100 triangle screen.
Sorry if this has been done and I don't know what it's called. I've been following this device for a while and am yet to see anything.

Though not a solid answer, here are some thoughts.
When we do an Odin flash of an unsigned OS, this is the screen where the yellow triangle pops up to remind us of our evil ways (its actually an entire new picture that has the triangle on it, as evidenced by the fact that on an i777 this screen reverts to the i9100 one). I do not recall anyone ever mentioning any way to get rid of this screen short of flashing a signed OS or using a jig (no filehacks to remove the triangle). Seeing as these actions are controlled by the bootloader, I could guess, though I can't be sure, that these image files may also be a part of the bootloader. Though it is possible to mod a bootloader, I, and most of the people on this forum would probably admit modding a bootloader to change a bootscreen on these phones may not be worth the risk, as we enter hard brick territory when we mess with these things.
Search on the Android Market for sgs2. In that group there is a boot screen changer program. I have it loaded on my phone and gone through the procedure but have not actually changed screens yet.
The only thing safe to change is the bootanimation, so you can remove the AT&T if you haven't already by flashing a custom rom.
I just replace the zip file using a file manager (ES,Root Explorer) and reboot.

I know it was possible on the captivate. But I haven't seen it done here yet.,I believe the splash screen is located in the kernel not the rom. on the cappy the splash screen would change depending on what kernel you were running. maybe one of the kernel devs (entropy ;-) ) could look into it.

Sure there is, and it's a really good way to end up having the exact same
problems as a lot of other people are having here when they done that.
So if you still want to do it, let me know and I will post all the links
needed for the international rom flashing and installation.

Wait till some developers port them to i777 (if ever). Otherwise, you may wind up with screwed up capacitive buttons, a modem that doesn't work, and maybe even different bootloaders.
It can be done - designgears' Perception proves this.
What I do know - it won't work with Odin-flashable ROMs like Litening. I tried flashing Litening's system image once and it didn't even boot.
For a CWM-flashable package, at the very least you would need to:
1) Replace the kernel with one for our device, or remove it from the package and the updater-script lines that flash it
2) Remove or replace the modem and updater-script lines that flash it
3) REMOVE ANY BOOTLOADERS FROM THE PACKAGE AND UPDATER-SCRIPT OR YOU WILL LIKELY BRICK.
If you do the above, it might work.

see, the difference there is that the desire hd and the inspire are identical aside from the audio differences, which was an easy flash
the international galaxy s2 and the att galaxy s2 are different in more ways than one. the main difference being the capacitive/hardware button layouts.
its not like the inspire was. dont go flashing random crap willy nilly
Maybe a script can be made to easily port from the international to ours. Designgears has done it already I wonder what it took to port. They've got a ton of available roms already and some are themed quite nicely!

Unfortunately, there is the potential for not always recognizing automatically whether a bootloader is present. It's easy enough to check for Sbl.bin and nuke it - but what if the ROM author used a slightly different name? Also, what happens if the updater-script tries to flash a file that's not there? It might write just enough to corrupt the bootloader.
Simply put, unlike Hellraiser, it can't be done automatically since people sometimes include bootloaders.
Also even after replacing modem/kernel, it looks like DG had to do some more "down and dirty" customizations involving the noise reduction controls to get call quality to be decent. Smali mods tend to be nonportable/nonautomatable...
What the Devs say about this? Do it have a chance to be better than Android?
"This year’s CTIA Wireless conference in New Orleans is surprisingly short on major new smartphones. But at last night’s MobileFocus press event, I happened across a fascinating, one-of-a-kind handset which I hadn’t seen in person yet: Mozilla’s alpha version of a phone running Boot to Gecko, its project to turn the web technologies behind Firefox into a stand-alone mobile operating system."

Flasholics?
Honestly I don't have any details about that OS.
Thats a pre Alpha...
For sure another "player" to this market will be a good thing. More updates, more releases, more everything.
Funny thing on that picture is that it is an International sg2 but there is an AT&T logo there. Check the pic.
That's most likely the carrier its being used with, which is perfectly normal considering the tech site is probably located in the US.
I think its a neat different Idea... Do I think it will go anywhere like android and ios? Not really (would be cool if it did).
I would flash it, but only when its ready for our phone. I would love to at least try it. Who knows it could be the next best thing since the cheese wheel!

There is a flashable zip somewhere in the original thread in the i9100 forums. I'm using it, I just don't get to use it because I have to build something which I can't do...
i777 with B2G
Boot2Gecko uses a different kernel from Android, still Linux, but with many different things compiled into it. If you go to the page with the i9100 image, you'll see a .tar.md5 image, which is really just a TAR image with some extra. You can untar it and get out the boot.img, which is the kernel. You can then use ODIN to flash the image, and if it is inoperable you can use Heimdall to flash the boot.img directly as the kernel. I stopped quickly with this because my i777 only partially worked with no radio on the last try, and it became unusable quickly. It was also getting extremely hot near the top of the unit, so I went and flashed back the AOKP image I had been using previously.
My attempts to build from scratch have been unpleasant to say the least, and it seems the Nexus is on the list of hardware along with the i9100, but the i777 and i9100g and others are not on the roadmap yet.
For those who want to know what this is, it's a Linux kernel that boots into a special version of Firefox, and then uses web documents and web standards to do everything. All of the OS is coded in HTML5/JS/CSS and has new JS implemented for controlling and using the phone's hardware. The "apps" are websites that are accessed remotely and then cached so that they do not have to be updated until the remote version changes, so the OS can upgrade extremely rapidly.
I'm looking forward to seeing this remove some of the mess made by the manufacturers and providers, and to see some much needed user control brought back into the system.
Big question since i'm brazillian, WHY BRAZIL?

If its anything like the vibrant, that is something that is baked into the kernel, you would have to roll your own.

Hello.. another noob here.... (sorry)
I've done as I've seen mentioned on here.... I've put one of the splash.zips (Fskull.zip) into both my /data/local folder And my /system/media folder... and renamed it bootanimation.zip... and I still get the "Samsung" logo... then the Ugly AT&T ball splash screen. NO CHANGE to boot up on restart or turning on.
I did see in /system/media folder there is a "bootsamsung.qmg" and a "bootsamsungloop.qmg"... if I rename them.... the Ugly AT&T ball screen is now blank.... with the same annoying boot sound... But still NO modded splash screen showing !?
Am I missing something ? Please help.... I would like to get rid of the "SAMSUNG" screen & the Ugly AT&T logo on start up !!
Phone is an AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note (SGH-I717)
Android 4.1.2 (rooted)
Thanks
Don :fingers-crossed:
You see the logo for 2 seconds really? Do you constantly reboot your phone to see your boot animations Lol ...good luck
™
The initial splash is in the bootloader, which is closed source and very dangerous to play around with just for a 2 second image.
The second image before the bootanimation is the kernel splash...with a custom kernel that's usually different.
As for the guy 2 posts above me....(domedew) You're on stock...you need a custom kernel to use a bootanimation.zip
Yo can however delete the boot sounds.
Im new to modifing my android phones. Im trying to change the splash screens but having troubling finding exactly how to do it. any help would be great.

Just to be sure, you are asking about the splash screen and not the boot animation. The splash screen is the very first image you see when your phone turns on. The boot animation is the animation you see after the splash screen as your phone is booting.

I love Triangle away. As usual with all root procedures and applications there are risks. But, I've never had a problem with triangle away. I'd recommend that you should install SuperSu to replace Superuser unless if you already have it of course. It should get rid of the splash screen but I'm not 100% positive. All you have to do is tap reset counter then it should work. Also, I would remove you sd card just in case like it suggests because one time for a weird reason my sd card was formatted also. (Luckily it was a new SD card with no data on it!) But, I'd also check with @Chainfire just to make sure.
I don't get it you want a custom recovery custom rom custom phone. But Boy if a boot screen says custom we just can't have that. Always makes me rofl.

There's a risk with all custom ROMS however, I have this ROM and I'm lovin' it. It's awsome ;D you will enjoy it. As I said there is a risk. Not a big one and not a small one. If you follow the steps correctly then your G2G. If you muck up, your NOT screwed (see here) So have a go... If you dare!

Triangle Away won't clear the "Samsung Custom" splash screen. At least not on MJ7/MK2.
However, since you're apparently on MDK, there's no reason for you not to try it.
For whatever it's worth, I'm running with Triangle Away on my rooted MJ7 phone with the "Periodic System Modified Reset" enabled, but that still gives me "Custom" at boot. I don't care - if I need to clear it, I'll flash a stock ROM.
