I've been reading through the XDA forums for days on various splash screen solutions. So far, not one of them will work on the P509 Optimus T.
When the P509 is powered up, you get 3 startup images.
#1 - LG Logo - SPLASH.IMG file
#2 - Animated T-Mobile "Stick Together" magenta/white splash screen (THIS MUST DIE)
#3 - Android boot animation (located in /system/bin/bootanimation in t-mobile 2.2.2 V10S firmware)
I am aware of the bootanimation.zip in /system/media/. This is NOT the issue I am referring to, and does not apply to my desired results.
Again - I have read nearly ALL of the other threads on this problem - they do not apply. There is NO fastboot or hboot menu option on this phone like the HTC or samsung, and as far as i can tell there is no "Splash1" partition either.
What I am trying to do is replace the animated T-Mobile splash screen with my own.
I know the boot animation is most likely the initlogo.rle file, or related to it. It gets dropped into the root of the phone at boot and disappears every time the phone is turned off. If I try and manually place my own there, it gets overwritten.
I'm assuming it hides in the boot.img file in the firmware somewhere. What I -DONT- know is how do I rip that damned file apart, replace the animation with my own, and then put it back together again. I have seen a LOT of people ask on various forums about the various LG Optimus models; and they have all been pointed to information that does not apply to these phones.
I know that many other firmware developers have embedded their own splash image in their roms and this will over-write the T-mobile magenta monstrosity. Unfortunately, I have ZERO need or intent on flashing a new ROM. I am happy with my stripped and tweaked stock rom and franco kernel.
Oddly, the SPLASH.IMG file is a RED lg logo, but it's hidden by a Silver LG logo that I assume is hardcoded into the phone somewhere, so the only time you see it is on boot to CWM recovery for 1/2 second or less.
I have managed to decompile my stock KDZ firmware file, and then decrypt the resulting DZ file down to the *.mbn files and the Boot.img, recovery.img, and splash.img files if they are useable for anyone interested in screwing with an old 2.2.2 stock. >.<
Is there anyone that CAN do this, or at least help me figure out how to go about doing it myself?
There is a post on this. U have to recompile the boot.img I thinl

As far as I know, changing the the splash screen can not be changed or altered in any form but I'm sure it can be done, unfortunately there isn't much talk about that sort of thing, give me a few days and I'll look into it, I gotta do research

Download the kitchen, put your ROM in the right folder, go to advanced tools in the kitchen, choose extract boot.img
There is a post about this by ciaox / Bytecode
Good luck
I was unable to find the ciaox/Bytecode post.
But the splash screen and sound bothered me,
so some exploring lead to the following ...
You can replace the annoying jingle:
/system/sounds/lgeSounds/Startup.mp3
The T-Mobile "Stick Together" screen are the 8 open*.rle files in /bootimages
You can use pratyush.creed's boot logo editor to generate replacement files

(sorry, not allowed to post links yet)
For the shutdown splash and sound, you will need to decompile,
replace the images and sounds then rebuild /system/app/PowerOff.apk
Cheers.
me too having the same problem...
Bytecode's thread
Is there a link to explain how to delete or change the stock start up pink screen on the T959 Vibrant? I hate it.
Root the phone then put download Rom Manager and titanium backup. The download a custom rom and flash that....... you will never see the pink screen again.
You need to read more, alot more.........
WHAT ????
ya ya ya done all that , done all the reading, done a lot of roms, done a lot of rooting ........
your assumption is "all" rom make new boot screens I guess?????
guess not. go load Project_V & see what I'm talking about.
i'm looking for answers, not rebukes.
Never been on Project V and i dont even remember stock but theres 3 startup images usually ~Bootloader,kernel,bootanimation. I doubt its bootloader
If its Bootanimation is located in /system/media/bootanimation.zip just swap for something else or put "debug.sf.nobootanimation=1" in build.prop for no boot animation at all
Or it might be the kernel boot picture, change kernels since i dunno where kernel image is stored, Bullet is good
Root rom boot animation.

has anyone successfully done this? i have a rooted fascinate running aokp milestone 4. i have read all the forums and have studied for hours. i finally got the nerve to try it....and....brick. lol i tried using heimdall. installed the drivers properly, opened the program, flashed the hacked param.lfs, program ran, phone booted into a blank screen for about 25 sec then went into recovery. tried wiping and restoring but right back to recovery i went. lol . had to odin to stock and build back up.
was just wondering if someone got this to work and could maybe give me a clue of what i may have done wrong..thanx.
Are you just wanting to replace the boot animation? In the case of AOPK, this would be the Unicorn animation. I do this all the time, directly from the phone. I use ES Explorer, although Root Explorer or an equivalent should work just as well. You'll need to go to /System/Media and delete the pre-exisiting bootanimation.zip. You can then replace this file with your preferred boot animation and be good to go. You can also move the old bootanimation.zip to your SD card before replacing it, allowing for easy recovery if you decide you want it back. You can also place your preferred boot animation in /data/local and supposedly a re-flash won't overwrite the boot animation. I haven't done this, as I prefer to see what animation is included in the ROM, then change it out if I wish. I'm sure there's other ways to accomplish this, but this procedure is quite simple. My preference at the moment is the rockets animation from makelegs' CM7 Kang, but there are lots available for download. Or, you can make your own if you are so inclined. I have a folder on my SD card that has a half-dozen boot animations in it, allowing me to choose which one I'd like to use.
If you need to download ES Explorer, there are a few options you'll need to enable to be able to manipulate the local filesystem. They are "Root Explorer" and "Mount File System" I think it goes without saying, but you'll need to grant ES Explorer with root permissions when prompted.
WARNING: If modifying your file system like this, BE CAREFUL what you delete. Delete the wrong file, and you could be starting over. I am not responsible for you bricking your phone.
I believe bdogg is referring to the boot splash screen. If you are following the directions that I think you are, I have not yet been successful at getting it to work yet either . If you figure it out let me know.

It is quite possible that I misunderstood which screen it was he was wanting to change. On my phone, all I get during the boot sequence is the black & white "Samsung" screen twice (once when the phone first powers on, and then it flashes quickly and reappears for what I assume is the Glitch kernel), and then the AOKP Unicorn boot animation. Once the Unicorn boot animation finishes, I get the unlock screen, at which point I consider the boot process finished. To my knowledge, you can't change the B&W Samsung screen. I could very much be wrong here, I've just never seen anything stating differently. The Glitch "logo" is set in the kernel, although I'm guessing if you edit the right thing in the .zip before you flash it that could be changed. It's not something I care to attempt, it's not on screen long enough for me to really care, and I have no preference to go messing around in the kernel. That leaves the Unicorn boot animation, which I know can be quite easily changed out to whatever different boot animation you prefer.
I'm currently running AOKP Build 28 with Glitch 14 B6.
EDIT: After a quick Google search, it appears I am wrong and that it is possible to edit the default "Samsung" screen. I didn't fully read up on the process, as I don't care to do it myself, but I did glean enough to know that I probably posted instructions here to something that you already knew, and that didn't help you one bit. I'll do better next time.
Yes, we are talking about the initial samsung logo. It is fun to change it to other things i admit. I only was able to do it per the instructions on the gb roms. I thought I saw new ones for ics but can't remember where I saw them.

Hey guys, wanted to share a couple changes I made to my evolte. These both worked for me, running Char 5.0. I take no credit for these. Credit for the boot animation goes to mattmanwrx. Credit for the splash screens goes to Stoney666.
First one is the nexus 7 boot animation, resized for the one x. I figured it was basically the same phone as ours, so I gave it a shot. I recommend backing up your old boot animation (changing the name of it works for me), then once installing (using recovery) the zip should ask what phone you are on.
Before that was part of the zip, I installed the old zip, but still had to rename the animation zip to hTC_boot up_one.zip, it didn't install with the same name so it didn't overwrite the original animation zip. Hopefully you can avoid that minor hiccup with the new zip mattmanwrx created. I'm just not sure if everyone's boot animations are in the same spot, so heads up.
I think he might have a galaxy nexus animation floating around on his site as well. I obviously haven't tried that one of it is there.

Splash screen
Stoney666 is making some pretty nice splash screens. This installed using his instructions flawlessly. He's got quite a few to choose from, plus is willing to make some custom ones as well.

Somewhat savvy somewhat still a noob to root stuff.
I rooted my S4 (from ME7) recently and have been enjoying some root apps. I bought the pro version of ROM Toolbox. I love the app but for some reason I can't get custom fonts to work as well as custom boot animations. I tried installing a few different fonts and then rebooting and no luck. They don't show up in the font list either under Display>Fonts in android settings. Then with the custom boot animations I installed the Alex Grey animation, reboot, no luck. Then i tried "Disable the boot animation>Remove all boot animations" and then rebooted and still no luck.
I'm kinda confused, am I doing something wrong?

If you're running me7 then you won't be able to touch the custom boot screen. A rooted phone is different from an unlocked bootloader. There are a lot of things that can't be changed with your S4 until an unlock is found since Verizon locked it down so nicely (Note the intense sarcasm). As far as the fonts go, I was able to change the font to Zekton for all Internet browsers, but further changes caused me to send my phone into a bootloop (soft-brick). Basically, don't try to customize or flash anything on your phone until an unlock is found. I would suggest using the root permissions to utilize Titanium Backup and back up everything.

Samsung uses flipfonts. ROM toolbox's are not flipfonts.
Samsung uses a .qmg as their bootanimation instead of bootanimation.zip
Basically they aren't compatible at all
