For some reason, when I load AOKP from moboot, I get two splash screens, one with the unicorn, and then the wide lime green cyanogenmod splash screen with the play triangle. This is before the boot animation. In my /boot, the only splash file I have is moboot.splash.AOKP.tga. Would anyone have any explanation on why this would be? Is the splash built into the rom? Are others able to reproduce?
Its because you had CM9 on your TouchPad before. Theres files left over from in. The files are in the boot folder on the root of your device. I'm not sure the name of the image but you can delete the cyanogenmod one. Along with the file that displays the cyanogenmod option on the moboot screen if you havent already. Someone else will have to jump in and tell you the exact file names to delete.

My understanding is that there may be a 2nd splash screen built into the rom, according to other reports online. Anyone have any insight on this?

In my boot folder, there are no files that mention CM or CyanogenMod. There is only one splash file. It is named moboot.splash.AOKP.tga. The 2nd splash loading screen must be called elsewhere. It is also seen when launching TWRP from moboot.
I've got the same thing. I haven't looked to closely, but I seem to recall seeing three .tga files in there.

I believe the loading splash is independent of the .tga files. I have removed them and still get the "Cyanogenmod loading..." splash. This must be built into the rom somewhere.
I read somewhere else that if you take the rom zip and extract it, there is an image on the root of the folder that is the splash screen. Thats probably it. I havent extracted a rom to see for myself.

You are right, there is a moboot.splash.AOKP.tga file in the root of the extracted rom. I replaced my .tga with this one. It shows this file, the unicorn, but it then it shows the green "cyanogenmod loading..."
It should be noted that the TWRP also shows the "cyanogenmod loading..." when selected from moboot. I'm still thinking the loading splash is independent of the .tga file. Let me know your thoughts.

What file do you mean for the "rom"? The original .zip that is flashed?
Yes, i unziped the .zip and there is a .tpk in the root dir. There is still another loading image elsewhere. Does anyone not have the "cyanogen(mod) loading..." on their touchpad boot?

If it is an issue to have two splash screens, in the future I could just include the CyanogenMod .tga splash, and you would only see that. But, I do not really understand why it is an issue?

Thanks, I don't think it is an issue with your rom in particular. I would like to have a custom loading screen for what appears after the .tga splash. I'm referring to the "Cyanogen(mod) loading..." image. Do you know how this is generated?
this might be a dumb question, but do the splash screens increase the time it takes to boot?

I think the screen you're talking about is baked into the kernel. Not sure though.

I don't think OP has an issue as much as would like to complete a theme for his Touchpad.
I'm also interested in the source of these screens as I've reworked my MOBoot splash, re-rolled my CM9 boot animation, updated the boot .tga files (landscape)... leaving these HP pulsing logo (portrait) and the CyanogenMod loading...(portrait) not to be found.
I'll be looking into the ROM .zip to check deeper.
Mine is the same. It shows the AOKP unicorn first, and then the cyanogen(mod) loading one second, and then switches to the boot animation from the actual rom.
It's not a problem, although it would be nice to figure out where it comes from so it could be customized.
It certainly doesn't effect the use of the touchpad at all.

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.

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.

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?

Are you wanting to put a bootanimation.zip? Or a splash screen? Being S-on, you can't flash a splash screen, and to push a bootanimation, take the zip file and place it in /system/app or something, search in the themes and apps section for how to do it.

I'm guessing you mean the boot animation (after the Samsung Galaxy Tab screen)?
system/media/bootanimation.zip
If you're rooted, and have write permissions set, replace the file with another of your choosing.

Samsung uses a proprietary .qmg file, but I haven't found where it resides on the Tab. It isn't in System/Media like it was on my old Captivate.
Actually I know how to do this. Samsung uses proprietary formats, but for splash its not qmg. That is for boot animations. I am working on this for everyone. I do not own a Galaxy Tab, but someone has donated a large sum of money and is loaning me a tab to work with so I can perfect a flash able zip for this. It should only take me a couple of weeks, consider it a WIP. I will post the zip or other instructions when I have it done

Depends... Does the galaxy tab have a S4 processor? When I get the test tablet I will have to examine the kernel to see where the splash screen is stored. If it is in the same place all it will take to get that script to work is a few minor script modifications because that particular one uses a assert get prop to make sure its d2vzw or another compatible device. (ie d2spr, d2att, d2tmo). I will post my results when I have it all done. I know its possible, but I could also make a flashable zip with a script that points to another location for the splash screen so you could load it in system/media with the boot animation and change it at will very easily like you can a boot animation. More information to follow. Please be patient

You're probably looking at a post in this thread:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16634732
Reading through the entire thread reveals that many folks ran into errors based on incompatibility between the *.ZIP file and different versions of CWM.
You've got to create the *.BIN file to put into the *.ZIP to flash via CWM, so you might as well go ahead and flash it via fastboot.
Like anything else; Flash via CWM or via Fastboot only after you have read and are very confidant in what you are doing.
Best regards,

When you select the first 70 digits and then hit delete the next screen should pop up and you should select the second buble option delete actual number of digits then the same exact thing for the last two digits of your pic delete actual count. Now when you open your headerlogo.bin select all of it and hit copy, when the next window pops open leave it as is " dont select actual count" now go to your picture bin file and paste it to the very begining of your numbers when the screen pops up leave everything as is " dont select actual count". You should know the rest of the steps with the help of those links provided however i say this shpill because its not said in those links specifically how to choose the copy and pasting. There is a difference, for me when i tried selecting actual count for every pop up windows my image wouldnt flash over. So good luck.

[BOOT LOGO + ANIMATION] Moto Logos (Multi-Color, Blur, & MOTOX) - Updated 10/12/13
Just sharing some work I did on aligning some boot logos and animations using OEM Moto logos. All of these were converted from animations originaly from Motorola.
These are CWM flashable, and they change the Boot Logo and the Boot Annimation so that they flow into one another.
These are designed to work with GB ROM's, I have only tested them with NottachTrix and CSROM. If you want to use them with other ROM's then extract the bootanimation.zip file from within these and copy it over tot he right /system folder
!! NEW !! Moto X Boot Animation (revolving world scape ... kind of thing). I had to mod the animation due to our Atrix's capability, but ti still looks pretty cool

The fact that you get a blackscreen tells me that you put the file in the right place. That leads me to believe there is something wrong with the bootanimation.zip file you are using.
Did you by chance unzip the bootanimation.zip file itself? And then rezip it before moving it to the Atrix? If so, did you happen to rezip the bootanimation file normaly? I ask because I did that a one point and caused the very same issue.
A bootanimation.zip must be made without compression, or set as "store" not "archive" when Zip'ing. If you answered yes to all of this then the solution is to get a bootanmiation.zip that is compressed correctly and move that to your /system/media. You can do that one of two ways,
1.) redownload my files, unzip the flashable file to get the bootanimation, but do NOT unzip the bootanimation file itself. Copy that bootanimation to your phone
or
2.) rezip the bootanimation file without compression, in 7zip you do this by setting the the pression to "store"
