How does your site work????
Is there any posibility of some one lending you band with????
The web page is a bit of php that combines some static html for the layout and some variables for the different supported devices.
The processing is a shell script that uses a combination of imagemagick and ffmpeg to convert/resize the image (I could probably do it with either one of those tools, not both, but heh...) and zip to zip up a folder structure with the recovery scripts and the raw image.
It all runs on a NAS box.

I have plenty of bandwidth and this tool does not use much of it.
Thanks,
-Jobo


...and just for fun, it is now also available as a hidden service: http://jobonyomsrzkvotf.onion/bootsplash-m8

Now once you brought up the fact that it is found as a hidden service
I know why it was not working
Some countries like korea and the middle east block these
So yeah that is why I needed a vpn

I have never tinkered with Samsung devices. I can only easily do this if a few things are the same as on HTC devices, which I don't know whether they are:
- same naming of block devices in the device tree
- same recovery scripts
- same mechanism for storing the splash

If those are all the same, then all I need to know is the partition number and the screen resolution.


I don't own the device so I can not do the research. You can do the research. ;)

Basically: extract the first X bytes (depends on screen resolution: X = w * h * 2) of each partition that is big enough but not ridiculously big and see if it looks like your splash.
This is a post of mine where I guide someone through the steps for another device I don't own. However, this is an HTC device so things will be different for you.

I can guide you more but you have to know some basics and be able to get an adb shell and be comfortable typing commands and following instructions.

I doubt it can be done. I think that partition is under some protection like S-ON in Sammy devices. So it would need Samsung encrypted Odin flashable packages. Don't think recovery with DD would work.

I searched but didn't find an exact answer, I am guessing these will still work on GPE Partitions right? And if so, will it remove the "unlocked" badge from the boot splash or is that an overlay like the "red text" on Sense Partitions?

EDIT: Boot splashes works fine but the padlock is an overlay :/ I don't know how to remove it.

EDIT 2: Never mind, I decided to go with Sense Firmware anyways, GPE works exactly the same on Sense Firmware, and it even seems like the battery life is surprisingly better.

No I'm looking for the screen that is on my phone already, within my phone so I can mod it in Photoshop. The ones attatched in this thread look slightly warm or off white.
Post #14 explains how you can extract your boot splash image from the device.
Post #58 explains how to turn the raw image into a .bmp picture.

The images in the OP are stock. When you extract the stock image from your device, you will find that it is not 100% white.
