OK first thing first IM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE OR DECIDE TO BE CARELESS OR CREATE A CYCLONE... you know the drill.
Well i stumbled on this by mistake and hey it works!!!!
Some of us do get bored with seeing the same thing over and over again specailly if u keep switching on and off your phone for whatever reason...
we can change boot animations thats popular but now we can the splash screen and by splash screen i mean boot logo and by bootlogo i mean that image that show "Samsung Galaxy **** powered by android"
Samsung stores its boot files in Param Partition but extracting those images is a hustle well now you dont have to... Here's How and its easy...
I dont know if it will work for any other device with a param partition but i am using Samsungs
YOU WILL NEED:
- A rooted device (Samsung)
- Terminal emulator or ADB (I used ADB but still i was at adb shell)
- Being able to check your partition (But ill explain how anyway)
HOW TO
CHECKING PARTITION BLOCK
1.a First check which block is your Param partition
use and root browsing app and goto /dev/platform/****/by-name
where i used *** is where things differ... there are usually two folder and one will have a folder named "by-name"...
take note of the full path to by-name
E.g in my j7 its: /dev/block/platform/13540000.dwmmc0/by-name
1.b In ADB type "adb shell"
now in Terminal or Continue in ADB
- run "ls -l /dev/block/platform/****/by-name"
- It will output all your block partition with their names
- Take the name of your mmcblk*** and mine is mmcblk0p9
NOTE : BACKUP YOUR ORIGINAL PARAM PARTITION
In Terminal or adb shell:
$ su
# dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk*** of=/data/media/0/param.fls
or dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk*** of=/storage/extSdCard/param.fls
-------- on of="Location to your sdcard (ext or int)" Dont use linked storages
Getting another device's Param file (The Boot logo you want)
Backup its PARAM partition by doing The steps above (Get block partition name and extract)
CHANGING YOUR BOOTLOGO[/COLOR]
-Copy the param.fls file you backed up to your device and note the location you put it (Dont overwrite your original)
In Terminal or adb shell
$ su
# dd if=location_param_file_you_copied/param.fls of=your_dev_block_partition
e.g
# dd if=/data/media/0/copied/param.fls of=/dev/block/mmcblk***
to restore your original change your bootlogo by your original Param.fls
