I was wondering if there was an easy way to change the splash screen on our Touchpads? I'm talking about the small green Cyanogenmod logo that appears before boot. I've changed the splash screen on my myTouch 4G a lot and was hoping to do the same for my Touchpad. I heard a while back that its coded into the kernel and was hoping this was not the case. Any help is greatly appreciated!

+1, but it must be hardcoded. Couldnt find it as well
If you extract the nightly with 7-zip, it's in the root of the created folder as moboot.splash.CyanogenMod.tga. Is that the one you are talking about?
EDIT: Added image. I had to convert it to PNG to upload it here, but it is originally a TGA
No, but it`s identical.
I think OP is looking for something like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598427

That is exactly what I was looking for! What did you use to convert to png? And can I use it to convert to tga as well?
I used Paint.Net to convert to PNG, but I don't think it can convert back. The only thing I know for sure that can outup TGA is Illustrator.

I appreciate it! I ended up finding this site that will convert back and forth between a bunch of different file types. I'm going to try to make my own splash next week after I study for the three exams I have on Monday and Tuesday. Thanks for all your help though! Good looking out!

If you have a mac, Pixelmator can convert any file format to TGA.
EDIT: I don't believe that file is the cyanogen mod loading thing. If you look at this thread I made: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598427 you can see that the moboot.splash.CyanogenMod.tga actually controls the static boot image that displays after the loading, and before the animated boot animation. In cyanogenmod both images are the same, back to back, but in other roms, they are different. In other words, changing that file only gets rid of one part of the Loading splash. I believe that the other is coded into the kernel or something like that, similar to the splashes that appear on phones that tell you the name of the phone.

Go to Plugins on the Paint.NET page and download the package. Then you can create tga files as well.
But if you change the moboot.splash.CyanogenMod you will still have a cyanogen picture with loading letters.

It has to be in the uimage. Notice that if you have both aokp and CM9 uimage files in /boot, depending on which one you click, it at first shows the appropriate logo. So, part 1 in in the umiage and the 2nd part is the .tga file. Then the boot animation.

#2 + #4 = #11
Is it possible to change the cyanogen mod loading screen that occurs before booting into any rom/recovery?
No

Has anyone figured out how to change the boot animation?
It seems it's stored in /system/media/bootanimation.zip
I tried replacing the .PNG images inside the archive and that didn't work, although I might have messed up something. I'm just glad to be rid of that dreadful SE color splash until someone else finds a solution.
finished playing with this a little while ago... when you replace the files you must use no compression, ie store. i've attached one with the android robot waving (cropped from nexus) simple, but at least the splash is gone

i finally found it for sure...from the zip above extract them all put your images in an then add in a zip file all of them again but you have to rename it as bootanimation.zip and you have to choose at winrar compression method store...its final and you can put anything you want...
Thank you for helping me sort this out.
Here's GLa’DOS "Android Scribble" animation for the x10 mini.
Apparently anim2 lasts a couple of seconds, and anim3 last the longest.
I lost my first x10 mini, so I added a name and telephone number for my animation after posting (and a lock screen for the phone).
if anyone want me to make any anime feel free...
here is my first one and of course greek...

1 root your phone
2 download rootexplorer(<---and install it) & any bootanimation.zip you want
3 open rootexplorer and go to your sdcard hold down your finger and choose copy
4 then go to system/media
5 at the upper of your root explorer its a button that says mount r/w make it says by pushing it mount r/o
6 push the button paste and then when it says ovewrite push yes
7 reboot and you r ready!!!!
if i make it a single file you will not have the option when the first animation is over the second to be anime it will be a still picture if you want that just leave one image in the second folder..because it have 2 phases of animation..!!!!(if you remember first when the colours where mixing and then the still image with sony ericsson logo and letters)
I've been trying to edit the desc.txt file so I can have a little more flexibility but even if I save it without making any changes it stops working.
After a look around the interwebs someone mentioned saving in the UNIX format, so I used Notepad ++ in UNIX and tried editing/saving in that but there's still problems, sometimes it doesn't work at all and sometimes it only shows the first folder.
Also, are there any limitations as to framerate and how many files can go in the part0/part1 folders (revision of enormous101's bootanimation.zip).
Finally, is it ok to add a part2?
do not use compression - use Winrar and select "store"

as i mentioned part 2 is when the bootanimation of sony ericsson stays frozen you can add anything you want and its safe to play with part two.. no limitation except your internal storage!!!!what exactly are you trying to do with desc?may i help you?if you find my preview posts at the first page you will find to download the bootanimation.zip with two parts so unzip it and when you add your images zip it with winrar at store compression mode...

Nice thread!
I was wondering about the desc.txt file. I am using the Rogers 2.1 firmware and I want to remove the Rogers screen that shows up just before desktop loads. The PNG file for the Rogers screen is located in Anim5 and I was wondering if I just removed the entry for anim5 in the desc file, would that do the trick? I've already moved the original bootanimation.zip file onto my computer so it is backed up but I was just wondering if this would work. I am using a X10 but it seems like the file system is the same which is why I'm asking here. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks for your response! From what I've been reading, it seems that if I remove the entry for anim5 in the desc.txt, that it won't load that animation. It just seems easier to do this than to replace the image in that folder. Though the problem would then be making changes to a UNIX based txt file using a Windows OS and then the phone not recognizing the desc.txt file based on it being in the wrong format.
Anyway, I suppose I could just copy over the last image in anim4 and replace the one in anim5 with that and that would be the easier solution (as per your suggestion).
Here is the thread I was reading where it describes the desc.txt file and how to modify your boot animation.

[TOOL] EZ Splash Screen Flasher and Image Converter>>Converts jpg, png and bmp files
This is a simple tool/script used to convert .jpg .png and .bmp files into the format used for the splash screen on your device. This can also be used to make a copy of your current splash screen or convert a splash screen image into a .png for you to edit. You can also flash the new image using this.
(Currently this has been confirmed working on the HTC devices below)
This is my first attempt at a script. With that being said...Please leave your feedback and ideas for possible updates or any issues. I also understand that there might be other tools like this on the forum but the one I found here didn't work on Windows XP. Plus I was wanting to learn a little about scripts and give people another EZ way to mod their device. There are some things I would like to add and a few little bugs. If some people like this I will make a updated version with more things and options. All the methods and things used in this zip can be found here on XDA. I just packaged them up and did the script.
I found most of the information for the script HERE and of coarse have learned tons in my time here on XDA, so much thanks to everyone here!!
Thanks to Iriscience and the links in his thread for the conversion tools.
And also option94 for his help.
The flash/backup splash option should work for any HTC devices that use a 480x800 splash screen but has been confirmed working with the MT4G, G2, EVO.
REQUIREMENTS
1. PC with Windows XP or better
2. Rooted HTC device with S=OFF and Eng Hboot (if only S=Off you can use Terminal Emulator method below for flash)
3. 480 X 800 png, jpg or bmp image
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Download the attached zip by clicking the rotating skull and then unzip
it to the desktop of your Windows PC.
2. Create or find the 480x800 image you want for your splash screen.
3. Go into the "Splash Flasher" folder you unzipped and place your image
in the "place-image-here" folder.
4. Click on the "CLICK-HERE.bat" and follow the on screen instructions.
NOTE: At this time this does not support having more than one of the
same image type in the "place-image-here" folder when converting and flashing.
Ie: You cant have more than 1 jpg, bmp, png or img in the folder at the same time.
You can have multiple images as long as they are not the same image type.

I would like to send out a big thanks to all the people here on XDA that have contributed to this collection. There are way to many to try and name. If you see your splash screen here, Thank you!!.
I was browsing the forums and came across a few splash screens that I liked and that were requested, so thought I would add them here for the Glacier family to enjoy.
As I collect more I will put links to the threads I have gotten them from so you can give thanks if you like.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Click on the image you like (it should open in a new window)
2. Right click on the image in the new window and choose "Save Picture As"
3. You can save it wherever you want (I suggest Desktop\Splash Flasher\place-image-here folder)
4. Convert your image to splash .img format and flash it using my script or the Terminal Emulator method I posted below.
IF you cant use the Splash Flasher/Converter, let me know and I can change any image to the correct splash .img format and post it up for you..

Here is how to flash a new splash screen image to your phone using Terminal emulator. Please keep in mind that as with any mod you can damage your phone beyond repair if done incorrectly.
1. Rename your 480x800 .img file to custom.img and move it to your sdcard.
2.Open Terminal Emulator and type "su" to get a #
3.Then type this exactly as it appears and hit enter. Make sure not to make any mistakes!!!
Code:
dd if=/mnt/sdcard/custom.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19
It should show you that the file has transfered. You can now back out of terminal emulator and reboot your phone to see the new splash screen.

There are 2 splash images. One hard coded into the kernel (only changeable through kernel source then recompiling the kernel) and the splash image located in the param.lfs partition.
So changing the param.lfs splash image won't get rid of the kernel splash image.

Change it to what? Do you want to make your own splash screen or just use one from another ROM that you liked?
If its using one from another ROM...its easy....
Download RootExplorer.
Open it and go to the "system" folder. then look for the "/media" file (/system/media) then look for the file called "bootanimation.zip"
That is the boot splash screen file.
If you want one from another ROM.
USE YOUR COMPUTER and open the ROM.zip file you want (bionix1.3.1.zip or sweethoney25.zip) could be any ROM.
Now navigate to the same folder "system\media" and copy the "bootanimation.zip" to you desktop.
Now plug your phone to your computer and copy the bootanimation.zip to your phone....anywhere is good just remember where you put it.
Now unplug your phone and open RootExplorer. Find the "bootanimation.zip" you just copied to your phone and long press it.
Choose the "move" option.
Now go to the "system\media" folder....long press the bootanimation.zip in that folder and choose "delete"...now paste the other bootanimation.zip into this folder.
Reboot!
Viola...you have your bootanimation.
If you want the stock Galaxy bootanimation...just use Rootexplorer and delete the file "bootanimation.zip" from the "system\media" folder and reboot! (this option only works if you see two different files in the folder named samsungboot.qmg and samsungbootloop.qmg...as those are the files for stock bootanimation)

This is the one I'm talking about!!
Hello,
What i am looking for is the Stock Bootanimation.zip file that comes with fascinate. What i wanna do is get the PNG files that make up the verizon boot logo. I want to take this and use it to make a boot animation for a diff device.
All i have is the bootanimation.qmg but i have searched and have not been able to find a way to get the images out fo htat compressed format.
Thanks for all your assistance in advance.
The stock boot animation isn't a zip file, it's a .qmg file...
stock kernels for fascinate don't support bootanimation.zip files. The .qmg is a proprietary format chosen by Samsung (shock!) and developed for them by the QURAM Corp. However, many custom roms DO support bootanimation.zip startup logos. (SuperClean 2.92 is a superb example)
The shutdown sequence however, is in .png format, although it also comes with a .cfg configuration file. Its located in /system/media/video/shutdown
Hope this helps.
Any way to get that boot animation? When I rooted my gf's fascinate, it replaced the verizon one with the default "android" in landscape mode.
Little off topic but similiar (not trying to hijack post), can you get the orignal backgound back after changing it to something else? It's not listed in the wallpaper choices.
I'm not sure specifically, but it seems that it depends on the kernel you have if you can install custom boot animations, since the Fascinate (and probably other Galaxy phones) don't really have the .zip support (i'm guess on what i've read).
I'm sure someone will correct me, lol

No the rock formation background/wallpaper when you first bootup after installing 2.0.
So far I've found a lot of helpful threads on boot animations... I am simply modifying the existing one on my phone...
what I'm trying to do...
when a thunderbolt boots up it says "HTC"
then it says "HTC quietly brilliant"
then the thunderbolt clip with BAMF in the bottom right corner...
I WANT to replace the .PNG file that has "HTC quitly brilliant" to "HTC quietly rooted" with a pic of an android eating an apple...
THATS IT... I have made the picture i want in photoshop, named it the same name...
I have copied the zip off my phone, put that picture (png file) over the existing one in the .zip.... then renamed the bootanimation.zip file in my phone to bootanimation_original.zip and copied the new verizon to the same file as bootanimaton.zip... the phone boots... says "HTC" then its black and goes straight into the thunderbolt boot thing...
the only thing i can think is that the file is too big... the original is about 14kb the new one is 26kb... I tried saving it smaller but that was as small as i can get it through photoshop...
any help would be much appreciated!... (i also changed the file to 'read only' as the original was also)
please help!
thank you!
So if i understand correctly, you are seeing the rest of the animation.
If that's the case, then it has to be a problem with the image. It could be something as simple as the file name.
If you can't get it figured out, post it here as an attachment and I would be happy to take a look at it for you.
Sent from my B.A.M.F. Thunderbolt
I don't think the file size matters i have made a bunch of different ones. One thing to check is inside the bootanimation.zip file there is a text document called Desc.txt you have to adjust your desc file accordingly. Mainly you want your image width and height.
your desc should look something like this
"480 800 15p 1 45 androidp 1 1 VZWp 1 300 progress"
480 and 800 being you width and height, 15p is your frames per second, 1 is the number of times for the video to loop( change to 0 if you want that animation to loop to boot is complete), and not sure about the 45 i think how long to wait before starting images in the VZW folder. and same goes for numbers after VZWp. Also not sure on the progress most likely to hold last image till boot process is completed.
Edit:
Also when you re compress the ZIP file make sure you change the setting for compression method to "Store"

So if i understand correctly, you are seeing the rest of the animation.
If that's the case, then it has to be a problem with the image. It could be something as simple as the file name.
If you can't get it figured out, post it here as an attachment and I would be happy to take a look at it for you.

Correct, I CAN see the rest of the animation, just NOT that part I replaced... here's how I did it at first... at first I just copied the file out, made the adjustments I waned, and then dragged and dropped it back in the zip'd folder (I use windows XP if that makes any difference) it put my file over the existing one in the .zip.... then i put that in place of the bootanimation.zip on the phone...
THEN i tried downloading 7-Zip... i unzipped the whole file, put my file in, re-zipped my whole folder with NO compression... that killed the entire animation boot up thing all together... I'm using se explorer with root permissions to put these in the system/media folder...
so... yeah... not getting very far...
Tried attaching the .zip but it was 11mb and i can only post up to 8mb .zips... i'll post JUST the image, which is the correct width/height...
it is also named exactly what the other file was named...
I'm not sure what bootanimation file you are starting with but since you say it says BAMF I'll assume it's the bootanimation from the das BAMF ROM.
Actually, I made the bootanimations for the BAMF ROMS.
The only thing that confuses me is that it is only about 4MB in size?
Attached is the one from the BAMF ROM with your picture in it.
Just rename it to bootanimation.zip, put it on tour TB and see if that's the one you wanted.
I put it on my phone to test and it works as it should.
I realize this thread is a bit old, but I'm having a similar problem.
I'm using cyanogenmod on my thunderbolt, but since I like red, I thought I'd try changing the boot anim.
So I extracted the original boot anim and hue shifted the images, then re-zipped it and i get nothing at all. Putting the original back works fine. Is there maybe something that 7-zip does to make it not work, or maybe something that photoshop did to the images? I have opened the zip that i made on the phone and viewed the images there so the gallery can read the images once extracted from the zip. (If that makes a difference.)
Edit: Apparently my problem was that the only way to get it to show was to use store for the zip compression.
