Is it possible to change it on our device? I can't find anything about it and I've looked all around.
If anyone knows how or can point me to a thread, that would be great.

No. I am talking about the splash screen... Completely different from a boot animation.
A splash screen is the first still image right before the boot animation when the phone starts up. The Nexus 4 has just a black background that says "Google".
That is what I want to change.
From the discussions I have seen no one has a solution for that yet. Sorry.
........Epic WHOMP!!
RMA, and request a new splash screen, with a fruit on it.....
I also want to change the splash screen and use my own. If there is a way , please tell us or post a link if you find any. Thankx
Same here. I want to add my contact-info to the splash-screen. I have done that before with my HTC Desire and Galaxy S2. It's really useful when you lose your phone and someone just turns it on.

I think its part of the boot loader, as it shows the locked and unlocked symbols, so maybe if you downloaded the image from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images and extracted the bootloader image you could modify that and flash it through fastboot?

You can't simply extract the Bootloader and edit it's files. You would have to open it up in a hex editor and find the offsets for the image. Then inject your own into that offset and pray that you got all the dimensions and formatting 100% correct or else when you flash it you will have a nice hard brick

The splash screen depends on the bootloader. It might be easier on another device, but the Nexus's bootloader was not designed in such a way that makes this easy. You would have to modify the bootloader, but it really isn't worth it because there is no room for error. One wrong character in the bootloader and you have a nice shiny brick.

Got it.
Indeed, not worth it.
Have to live w/Google splash, alas.
Dang! I did SO want to change it to "Goobers" or "Goofball" or somesuch.
That "Google" shown on when starting up the phone in my knowledge the bootloader.
There might way to change the image , but you would have to mess with the bootloader.
Messing with the bootloader is dangerous, and a corrupted bootloader most of the time leads to bricked phone( there are ways to recover but its best not let it come to this)
So its best to leave the "Google" thing alone; It's not that intrusive and quickly disappears.
Actually, all of you are wrong in two ways:
1) You can't flash a custom bootloader on Nexus 4, because due to its qfuse configuration (in bootloader it appears as "Secure Boot: Enabled") it would compromise the trusted bootchain and therefore lead to a bricked device.
2) The splash image is not STORED in the bootloader itself, i'm currently working to find out where it is stored, but unless google pushes out an update with an updated splash screen it is going to be difficult.
I found out that a copy of the charging animation(when the phone is turned off), which is displayed by the bootloader is stored in "/res/images/charger"
My current idea is to find the function that puts the animation there and see where it comes from.
On other devices like HTC and Motorola it is more easy as the splash screen is stored in a seperate partition.
(Oh, and the bootloader isn't just what you see when you boot into fastboot mode, it consists out of tz, sbl1, sbl2, sbl3, rpm and aboot.)
So anyone figured out or we cant change the splash screen?

its called the splash the part prior to the bootloader, they're changable on android handsets, though the splash is on one of the core parts of the flash storage, if you brick your device by changing it, its not as simple as formatting or installing a rom to get it working again, you'd have to fix it via a fastboot if it were to brick.
ive altered the splash on both htc handsets ive owned, its very risky, best to wait for someone to develop a tool thats compatible then to diy push the splash files yourself.

Yup,i have a HTC EVO and i've changed my splash screen,flashing it through bootloader.Its a PC36IMG folder thats zipped,it has the splash screen which is IMG file and an androidinfo.text file,in the folder.We are also able to create our own using EVOSPLASH app.Hopefully someone will port this app to Acer Iconia.
Please say if I've missed an old how-to guide specific to the Nexus 4! (A link would be helpful in that case
Is there an easy(ish) way of changing the boot logo? My phone is rooted so that's not an issue, and I have ADB, but I'm inexperienced with it so if the method requires that, please include a detailed guide so that laypeople like me can follow

I have ROM Toolbox Pro already, and I've used it to change my boot animation (among other things), but I don't think it caters for the boot logo (what is displayed before the animation is loaded). Small difference .
It may have this option and I've just not found it yet, in which case, do you know where to find it? Otherwise, is there another app or method I can use?
Thanks a lot for your answer!

you can not change the boot logo on a nexus 4 unfortunately, its in the same partition as the bootloader and very easy to brick if you mess up. so, at this point, no one has made it possible for us to change it with an app.

Thanks! It's odd though, because stock Nexus Android comes with just a centered white Google logo as the boot logo, whereas my CM has that with a little grey unlocked padlock sign underneath... Maybe they edited it themselves, or it's an Android way of saying the phone is rooted/the bootloader unlocked.

the liitle grey unlocked padlock is visable on any nexus with an unlocked bootloader. on the n5, someone did develop a way to change the boot logo, but i dont think anyone has tried his method on the n4, as it not working could also brick the device. heres the n5 thread for changing the bootlogo, if you would like to test.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/tool-change-boot-logo-images-t2763698
So, since this phone is still very new no one has found a way to change the Google boot logo. (some call this the splash screen, I am not referring to the boot animation)
Word on the street is that the logo lies within the bootloader, so in theory someone should just be able to decompile the boot.img and replace it.
Any thoughts?
Back from the Galaxy Nexus days, (yeah, that long ago), Ezekeel created an app (found here) that lets you change the splash screen. Obviously, this won't work on the N6.
I only say this, because his app was the only way to change the boot logo on the Galaxy Nexus.
Never owned an N5, so I don't know if they managed to change the splash screen on it. I don't think it's easy on Nexus'. The MotoX has it easy because even non-rooted phones can change it.

The boot.img is the kernel and ramdisk, not the bootloader. Its the "boot" that the bootloader "loads".
Some of the older phones had a separate partition just for the splash screen, but I think common practice now is to include it in the bootloader.
since the first gen moto x you can change the splash screen logo by using fastboot, the has to be in a .bin format and size to are phone. the fastboot command is fastboot flash logo logo.bin
i tested this with the wrong size logo that i had from first gen moto x...so if someone can back up there google logo please that is much appericated. It is in the bootloader.img the logo.bin.
PLEASE DON"T TEST UNLESS YOU KNOW HOW TO BACK UP THE PARITION CAUSE AT THIS TIME I LOST ALL NEXUS ANDROID GUY IN BOOTLOADER.

Judging from my assessment of the startup logo files located in at&t's OEM partition, it should be fairly easy to customize it.
It also seems to use the same format as the Moto X.

Do you feel like trying one? I've figured out how Motorola does it, but don't have a device to test on. If you or anyone else wants to do it, the command would be:
Code:
fastboot flash logo [i]logo.bin[/i]
It will work unless they have locked down your Logo partition at /dev/block/mmcblk0p30, but I doubt they have.
Traditionally the file is named logo.bin, but XDA won't let you upload bin files, so I changed the extension to img. You don't have to change the name to flash it, just substitute logo.img for logo.bin
EDIT: Always make backups....there
Can you make this flashable through recovery?
It is the same as the moto x 2014. I DD one to mmcblk0p30 and it worked.
Tested with the one made by makers_mark

There is no way around it right now. I had a kernel on my N6 that didn't show the message so it could come sooner or later, but it doesn't hurt anything. It's only a warn. There are three stages, I think; yellow, orange and red.

The command to flash the file is:

I'd test it myself but I JUST setup my brand new 6P and don't feel like spending the evening troubleshooting if something goes wrong.

I happen to be in the middle of a replacement process for my 6P and still have the old and new devices. I just finished using one of those img files to get rid of my fiance's boot warning on her 5X and decided to try it out on the 6P I'm sending back to Google. Unfortunately, it looks like it wouldn't flash at all. After attempting to write the file, I get an error that reads "FAILED (remote: permission denied!)". I also only have the bootloader unlocked and no other modifications, so I'm going to mess some stuff up and report back.
Edit 1: A modified system image did not make a difference as it displayed the same error message. I'm going to back up the rest of my stuff I need off the phone and try to flash one of the zips instead in TWRP.
Edit 2: Looks like flashing in TWRP was a no-go as well. I don't have the unlocked bootloader warning anymore, but the red corrupted device warning is still there. I guess it's not possible for now.

The /imgdata partition is commented out in fstab in the boot.img. If I modify the boot.img, would you be willing to flash the boot.img and then try one of the /imgdata modification files once more?
In case you are willing, here is the boot image with /imgdata uncommented: http://www.mediafire.com/download/cwpfkjgqyw9bwcx/Stock_NoEncrypt_uncomment-imgdata_Kernel_6.0.1.zip

You can flash it in TWRP, or extract the boot.img from the zip and flash it with fastboot in bootloader mode.
You need a custom bootloader to remove this. No kernel will take care of it for you. The warning message is within the bootloader.img. The 5x and the 6p are completely different phones. Regardless of the fact that they are both Nexus devices. What works for one will not necessarily work for the other.

I have recently rooted and installed twrp on my sprint lgv20. I also installed the stock international ROM to sim unlock for various uses.

Unfortunately there is no current fix for this. I am not sure what exactly is needed for this to be fixed, but I would assume that those people who are developing roms for the V20 have already exhausted what ever options there are.
Would be nice to have fixed, but since that screen is only during initial boot up I don't think anyone is terribly concerned with getting this corrected.
Hope this helps.
No fix
It is related to google
Not lg
I would imagine the reason for this is both for security and to let manufacturers know when a phone has been modified.
I don't believe there is a workaround for it either because it can't be done (doubtful as I am sure its software based) or people just don't care (honestly I am sure some developers were annoyed enough to look into it). I just don't think anyone has found a way around it.
This "feature" was introduced in marshmallow.
Edit: further research shows the Nexus 5x developers were able to work around it by replacing the image. So while it doesn't remove the function it hides it.

Please note this is a marshmallow phone not nougat so I am not sure the same concept would work on our phone.

That's what they did with the HTC one m7. Was to replace the image. It's just finding the way to do it. As Everytime the devs find a way around something. Then Google, the phone makers,or carriers patches it to make it harder next time. I understand why they make that tamper screen because to many people trying to root and bricks their phones lies about not tampering with their phones OS. They say don't know what happened I just turned it on and nothing. I am sure they will find a way to replace the image. It just takes time and it's low priority on the devs list of things to do.

It appears that the image is located within the bootloader. It would have to be extracted, changed, and put back in assuming there is not a signature check with it on boot up. From what I was reading it depends on which partition it is located in whether it can be done or not. If it is in aboot, Tilde has mentioned that we can't edit this partition. Unfortunately it doesn't sound like it's a simple case of replacing an image.

I can confirm it is located in aboot itself.
