Anyway i can tell you that some days ago i built a versione without the splashscreen at boot time for several devices, xt875 included, if interested you can find it here.
Has anyone tried this? My mom runs cm11 on her bionic and she comments on the slow boot due to splash and my dad has one that is stock jb with xposed because god knows if he has a simple way into recovery he will nuke his phone and cause the Earth's poles to flip and end life as we know it (I'm not exaggerating) lol and I don't have the time to back stuff up and sbf if needed...

    Enjoy

    New version of Safestrap in the OP.

    VERY NEW VERSION OF SAFESTRAP WITH A LOT OF NEW CODE -- IT COULD CONTAIN BUGS WHICH WOULD NEED A FASTBOOT PROCESS TO RECOVER FROM. BE WARNED.

    BUG WARNING: Screen will blank out while building a new ROM-slot. Device won't respond to power button till the slot is done building. So be patient.

    ** INSERT STANDARD DISCLAIMER: I'm not responsible for any damage you do to your phone using my tools. Always have a fastboot available for disaster recovery. **

    ** I have more features planned, but I really wanted to get this updated release out. **
