Thank you! I'm running omega GPE as we speak, but haven't found a zip or a file to replace the boot /splash screen yet

did you search this forum? i am running omega rom v.9 and this works for me http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2335138&highlight=bootanimation

Why is everyone giving the OP links to boot animations? He wants to change the splash screen, the black screen that says 'Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505'
I don't think it's possible to change

It requires some bootloader modifications and I don't think anyone is ready to risk messing with that

Why would you need to change the boot animation for your S 4? dont make any sense, just enjoy the phone mate,such things are risky to play with .

Because you like it? Because you want something else? Just because you can?
On the SGS2 I used this tool with great success. I know, the look would suggest otherwise
If something like this comes up for the SGS4 I will most certainly use it as well :good:

because it can be used as the ultimate anti theft tool ( putting your contact info as a splash screen) unless a senior dev on xda steals your phone

Android AIO Flasher - Boot your phone into Fastboot mode. Run the Android AIO Flasher and Click the Splash Image Maker tab. Set the following fields: Conversion Method: ffmpeg Resolution: 480 by 800 (depends on your phone). Click "Browse" and select the image you want to set as the splash image. Click "Convert". Check "In Fastboot Mode?" and Click on "Flash the Splash" button. Then, Go to the AIO Flasher Tab and Select "From Fastboot" under Reboot Menu. Click "Reboot" button and Wait for your phone to reboot.

Those instructions are for other devices (Cherry Mobile Flame 2.0/Karbonn S1 Titanium/K-Touch Lotus II/Kiss U86 and Cherry Mobile Flare/Karbonn A9+). S4 doesn't have fastboot, so you can't use AIO Flasher.
As I see, there is still no tool / instruction to change boot logo on S4.

For the love of g-d!!! Samsung gs4!!!
Can someone PLEASE develop a tool for this?
MANY people out there have a GS4 and want this done!
Sorry that I'm not a dev, but I'm willing to develop if someone could start me off where to look .
In view of all possible customizing currently available for the Samsung Galaxy S4:​
1: Boot Splash Image: Not yet developed
2: Boot Animation: Already successful
3: Removal of Yellow Triangle/Flash Counter: Already successful
4: Custom Recovery: Already successful
5: Custom ROM: Already successful
6: XDA Xposed Framework App on JB, KK, LP, MM: Already successful
7: Bcmon: DON'T GET ME STARTED!!!
Can a dev out there PLZ have mercy on us all??!!
Maybe by getting a custom_param_lfs.tar for the Galaxy S4?

Well don't have the display drivers for our device. Until we can get a proper kernel source, we can neither build a proper twrp nor a cwm.
Sent from my E7

you are right Ravi, but I have one doubt, how come other Chinese CWM recovery works on our phone? If Gionee haven't provided proper sources, how is a working CWM available for our device, even though it's in Chinese. That shows someone might have proper sources, and we can probably get it from them. Just a thought.
Hope Gionee releases KitKat upgrade soon, along with proper kernel sources for it, searching for devs only won't help them gain any likings from devs!

You see, from snapdragon 800 onwards, you need an extra file called dt.img while building the boot image. Its a device tree contains all the data as to where the addresses and ports are. Now this is device and kernel specific. And we don't have it.
Simply put, even if I take the Chinese recovery, unpack it and repack it without changing anything, it won't boot.

Now thats really sad. However in the facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/gionee/
See my thread, a guy says he has installed english version of recovery (CTR). I am however skeptical about it.
Another thing, the SuperUser app got disappeared in my E7. Rootchecker still shows that root is present.
It has now Vroot app. has it replaced superuser app or is it different?

Yup! It recognizes the display as "toshiba 720p video display" and makes a framebuffer for the resolution. while it should recognise it as "jdi 1080p cmd mode display". That causes the issue.

yes the oneplus one has the same display. well, if only things were as easy as installing drivers on windows, we would have already done that.. we might have more hope from oppo find 7.. they just got official omni.. I downloading its source right now..
also, there is quite some hope!

I don't think the recovery needs to be ported as we can use TWRP for our note 3.

Sorry for not explaining myself in the main post. You need python 3.5 installed for the program to work, once python is installed, double click toolkit.py

"Lock bootloader" that will restore warranty?

No it wont mate , sorry. You will never be able to restore the warranty because motorola keeps track of all phones which have requested a bootloader unlock code from their website
