Somehow I managed to get the AT&T logo to show right when you turn on the phone. It only stays on for a second and then goes to the normal vibrant boot image. I believe this happened when I accidentally installed my cogitative rom on the vibrant because I had it labeled incorrectly.
I reinstalled to the 2.2 that doesn't brick and then back to stock 2.1 and then to xipher's rom... still there. any help would be awesome since this isn't my phone and I would like to give my boss the chance to be able to return his phone to tmobile without having them see the at&t logo during bootup.
Which ROM did you install? The ROM should replace the bootup (no AT&T) logo. I am not familiar with zipher... does he develop for the Captivate (hence the at&t logo)?
Have you tried to flash the international galaxy bootup zip? It does not have the T-Mobile bootup, but it's not at&t either (just Vibrant > Galaxy S > boot).
like i said, i accidentally installed a rom for the captivate and thats why i have the stinking at&t logo on this phone lol
the rom replaced the at&t logo for the most part, but for the very first 2 seconds the phone comes up, you can clearly see the at&t logo.
where can i find this bootup zip?

nope still there. i swear... it only stays on for about 2 seconds and then shows the vibrant screen. wtf is going on!?
I have this same issue, check out http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=795622 for a video. I imagine this is what yours is doing too. I have yet to find a fix for this either.
same thing man. wow... wtf! what did you do to get that to happen? flash a captivate rom?
Used ODIN for the captivate instead of the one for the vibrant the first time I used it. Whoops.
I have had this problem since the first week I got this phone :/
EDIT: On the plus side I have not seen any develpoment on changing the splash screen for the vibrant. Perhaps this could point someone with more know how than me in the right direction as to what is modified and possibly lead to a fix and/or custom splash screens!
man if you figure this out please let me know! i wonder if it had anything to do with boot.bin ?
lol i like this thread. hahaha

Has anyone been able to change the Acer logo during bootup?
I asked about this a little while back and got the response about how it has something to do with the bootloader. Would be awesome if someone could make it happen like they did for the Eee Pad

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.
Hiya All! most people like to know how to change their splash screen because they want to change it to something else.
as daft as this sounds i would really like to be-able to take the G3MOD splash screen and use it as my phones wallpaper
it just looks so good booting up since i have a silver galaxy and the exact same red phone cover as in the image!
but i have no clue where it is stored on my phone, i know where bootanimation.zip is stored but i can't figure
out where or how to get to the boot splash screen using root explorer
can anyone help me with this? also if it's a special file can you tell me how to convert it back to bmp thank you!

If I remember correctly I think the splash screen image is inside the kernel I think, as I remember someone asked about it in another thread.

I remember this too, but that was pretty long ago, should still apply though. So unless you know how to mess with the kernel, I suggest you don't try to change the splash screen.

As they said above, the file isn't in the system since it's in the kernel so unfortunately it's not that simple. Maybe you can find out who made it and then ask them for the image file?
no worries was hoping someone who made the kernel would pick up on this post and hopefully PM me with a link to the splash.
see i don't know if it's the original G3MOD kernel it's crylo ROM but it says the kernel is 2.6 i only see GMOD 2.4 so it might of been a custom thing.
never know someone who made it might see this thread,

The version of the kernel made by android itself is 2.6... blah blah but the latest version of G3MOD is 2.5 and the splash screen was made by one of the G3MOD developers. It wasn't made by Kyrillos.
Press the thanks button if I helped.
