How to change the splash image? (splash1 partition)

---

Hi guys, has anyone figured out how to change the splash image of the streak 5? i am referring to the dell logo(or the 02/softbank logo) before the android boot animation begins.

I know that HTC phones have their splash image stored in the 'splash1' partition. However this partition doesn't to be to exist on the streak or is named something else. Perhaps someone here has a clue?

Dell Streak 5 partition map -xda wiki

There is a partition named splash, it's also the only partition that I dont know the contents of.

BUT, pkgs can change the splash without ever touching that partition. I'm inclined to say that the splash partition is a red herring and that on the s5 it's stored directly in the bootloaders.

Thanks for the enlightenment, I am aware that PKGs can change the splash screen but also couldn't figure our why. Perhaps I will spend more time researching it.

Chrisrotolo looked into to some of this before giving up, he might have some tidbits but i'm pretty sure overall it's far too risky for the reward.

We can change the image
After splash before bootanim
Its init.rle file
Which is included in kernel
ther's rle to raw converter and again to rle
Try

fards got the closest I believe, it involved a framebuffer image.

I did flash an SoftBank ROM to mess around, and it looks like there are actually 2 of these splash screens, 1 is only seen occassionally, but it is the same Dell logo.

General Tip about splash screens: usually difficult and dangerous, not quite worth bricking a device.

and with that being said off I go to see if I can rebuild a Kernel for GTAB7+ just for splash screen .....
