[TIP] Boot logo changing will be easy.

[shadowofdarkness]

I wanted to extract the S III boot logo for use on my S II and found out it was really easy because unlike the S II which used a hard to modify lfs partition image, I found a param.bin file that turned out to be a renamed tar file.

So when the phone comes out people can easily replace the logo.jpg in the archive before flashing.

I love the Linux "file" command for identifying renamed extensions easily.

LOL! That's a good find! I wonder if this means that Samsung's starting to accept that people will be messing around deep within their phones (esp. flagship phones)!

Thanks for the great info! Then it's even easier to create an app or a script to mod it at boot time, and add this feature in a kernel

unfortunately, logo from param.bin is not used.
I've replaced logo.jpg and flashed param.bin to mmcblk0p4 partition, but still see original logo...
