Hi there. I used this application before on my galaxy S2 with no problem, but early this year I have updated my rom and kernel and have done afew times since.

Now I get a kernel incompatible issue come up when I try to open the application. I also read afew reviews that said it hasn't worked since ics.

Would the app work if I just flashed a older kernel?

I'm on JB 4.2.2 running dorimanx kernel 9.33 if it's any help.

If the app wont work where is the boot image stored so I can change it manually?

Thanks for any help or info given.

Regards,
Gary.

Hi there i got the exact same problem, i was not able to make a manual param file to try in Odin with success and the 1.16 busybox that we get by default does not look compatible with the 5.1.1 system or the systemless su, i dont quite understand why. (Get some annying nand lock messages if i try to install the 1.16)

Doin it manual with root explorer does not work either. Also no adb remount no command makes the deal. :eek:

Galaxy S4

First of all, thank you SO MUCH for all your research and efforts in this.
Second, sorry if this is a naggish post, but will there ever be a possibility of support for the Samsung Galaxy S4? A lot of us out here have newer phones and want to do this too!!!
Preferably the Galaxy S4 SPH-L720 but any model will do as long as its universal.
Please do a bit more research for us!!!
And thanks SO MUCH!!! :laugh:

    Hi guys,

    I picked up an I9100 SGS II the other day and decided to extend my development of the SGS boot screen MOD to it and was able to port it the same day as not much as changed in the way the param.lfs operates. I know this works just fine on the EURO I9100 SGS II in which the param.lfs calls for logo.jpg but if it fails, you can always re-flash a stock param.lfs to restore the boot screen which I have also included. I have written this for (I897, I9000, T959, T959V and now I9100). Per XDA's rules, I'll just attach the RAR package as an upload at the bottom of this post.

    If you appreciate my work, just tap THANKS or DONATE me a drink or two if you are feeling generous. Here is the read me in case you don't want to open it with an additional text editor:


    Code:
    Brought to you by MOBILETECHVIDEOS.COM and CONNEXION2005 of XDA-Developers.COM
    
    If the instructions below don't make sense to you,
    JUST DON'T DO IT!
    
    To change logo again, repeat the whole process!
    =========================================================
    | Instructions						|
    | ------------						|
    | 1. Open Odin						|
    | 2. Boot Phone into Download Mode			|
    | 3. In Odin PDA select "SGS2_custom_param_lfs.tar"	|
    | 4. Click Start					|
    | 5. Boot Phone Normally and reconnect USB (dont mount)	|
    |    You will have a logo draw fail! DONT WORRY!	|
    | 6. Rename the Picture you want to use to " logo.jpg "	|
    | 7. Run "MobileTV_SGS2_BootScreen.bat" from PC, follow |
    | instructions. Keep phone screen ON, allow SU request. | 
    | 8. Reboot and Enjoy!					|
    =========================================================
    
    NOTE about custom images!
    480 x 800 and UNDER 100 kB

    REMEMBER, THIS SCRIPT INSTALLS THE LATEST BUSYBOX INSTALLER, THIS MEANS IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE BUSYBOX INSTALLED, YOU MUST OPEN THAT INSTALLER AND ACTUALLY INSTALL BUSYBOX. IT INSTALLS AN APK TO USE TO INSTALL BUSYBOX, IT DOES NOT ACTUALLY INSTALL BUSYBOX ITSELF DURING THE SCRIPT.

    ONLY USE THE LATEST BUSYBOX BY STERICSON TO ENSURE THIS WORKS BEST. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO USE THE SCRIPT FOR THE LATEST VERSION, BE SURE TO DOWNLOAD THE LATEST FREE INSTALLER OR DONATE VERSION IN THE MARKET BY STERICSON.


    If the script doesn't work for you, it should if you have ADB installed, a rooted device plus the latest BusyBox (no offense but it's user error otherwise) just use root explorer to paste your logo.jpg in /mnt/.lfs AFTER running the custom param file via ODIN.

    I took the liberty of making a little app for this (giving proper credits for the original mod, of course!)

    • does not use a pre-supplied param.lfs, patches the one in the phone "on the fly"
    • pick any image you have on your phone, it gets automatically resized and converted to JPG
    • can also set the boot logo for when power is plugged in while the phone is turned off (before the battery charging animation is shown)
    • option to flash a stock param.lfs to completely remove the mod

    Stock param.lfs to flash through Odin

    Worked for me,,thanks!
    I created my own bootscreen with a Metallica logo and some text,, haha :D

    Anyway, I've attached a stock param.lfs file(a tar file that is) to flash through Odin in case you want to return to the stock bootscreen...I've tested it and it works.
    I thought, I'll share it with you guys to save you some time...

    Grtz Dhanesh

    Everything works fine till the point the script wants to check busybox.

    The script stops at this point:

    =====================================================
    MobileTechVideos.COM SGS II Boot Screen Installer
    =====================================================
    Press any key to continue . . .
    killing any adb instances that are currently running
    * daemon not running. starting it now *
    * daemon started successfully *

    Busybox is installed at:
    /system/xbin

    Anyone have an idea?

    Thanks
    Sky






    Edit:

    I do have now my own custom logo:

    What I did:

    - copied my own custom logo.jpg to the sdcard
    - Flashed the SGS2_custom_param_lfs.tar via Odin
    - Started up Android and got to the terminal app
    - su
    - cp /sdcard/logo.jpg /mnt/.lfs/logo.jpg

    Restart it to enjoy my new bootlogo :D
