Hi guys one quick question. When I originally Rooted my device instead of Galaxy S 4 white sign I had word custom and unlocked lock logo. Then I flashed CM10.1 and it went away I again had Galaxy S 4 white logo on boot (before CM10.1 circle) then I did few updated and flashed few roms no problem. Then I decided to go back and flashed my original OS from backup image I created with CWM and I got that "custom" sign back.
Here is the question, now no matter what I do all roms don't give me Samsung S 4 logo on boot, only custom. Does anyone know how to get rid of custom logo and put original Galaxy S 4 instead. And another question in general this logo ...it's flashed with kernel or this is part of the phone ,,,like before kernel or something cause I am sure it's not rom, it's gotta be ether kernel or something else that tells phone to show one image or another, so if possible let me know how to get white SGS4 original logo back if possible.
Thank you very much.

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
Many thanks to anyone who can tell me anything here.

Best bet is to get ROM Toolbox- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolboxpro .

except it doesnt change boot logos. its easy to use, just not easy to read
a boot logo is not the same as a boot animation.

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
I understand that the G2 has a different method of how the boot animations are presented, I have been looking around for boot animations but none work due to the quick case animation settings?
Does anyone have any animations that would work with stock (rooted)?
As far as I know, the bootanimation on lollipop (for me its D802 leaked vodafone) is located at /system/media/bootanimation.zip and for shutdown animation it is /system/media/shutdownanimation.zip
Both zips contain serval .pngs and thats it.
Should be like on AOSP.

It doesn’t work like it does on my Nexus 5, I found this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmob...d-5-0-t2961808 but am not really understanding the process or why it is different. I have tried different boot animations the way you described, changing the permissions to 644, placing it in the right folder, etc. all to no avail. Every attempt leads to the LG logo right to the home screen after a screen flash.
I also tried several bootanimations and i noticed that for me the problem is that on almost every boot i get "Android is upgrading" popup which is blocking bootanimation, i don't even see stock one when popup is up.
I installed the G Flex boot and Shutdown animation from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/themes-apps/mods-lollimods-lg-g2-official-based-t3036565
Manually, and it works like a charme

The link came truncated. I believe you refer to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g3/themes-apps/bootanimation-proper-android-5-0-t2961808
Now that we have root there must be an easy way to remove the unlocked bootloader warning. Anybody know?

Thank you.
I didn't care for the red one in your link, so I used the one from the Moto G, found here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/themes-apps/remove-unlocked-bootloader-warning-t3014947. I just extracted the bin, and fastboot flashed that one.
What?¿? Don't like the red one....?

This is great, thanks. I also used the Moto G one. Now on the lookout for a nice solid black one. Much easier on the eyes when you reboot laying in bed haha.
Is this also the same way you can change the greeting?

Very nice. Love the stealies! One question. Can these be flashed via TWRP, or through fastboot? Also, it seems that through fastboot, they need to be *.bin, and the ones in the ZIPs are .img.

The bin file you seek should be with in the zip.... I've personally never tried to flash them thru twrp
When I flash that Logo, it makes a ribbon of like 10 of the logo real small across the mid of the screen

Yeah, that one did that to me too, before I swapped over to the Moto G splash.
Dark Version of Stock Boot Screen
Well, I decided that I just wanted the stock Boot Screen but with a black background,
so I made one.
the Bin File is zipped inside the attached zip (this is not a TWRP installable Zip)
Additional Dark Water option added
EDIT:==========================================
Removed the original files --- and these are not TWRP installable zips
-- the file inside installs with the command --
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
-- assuming your logo.bin is in the directory that includes fastboot.
Hi, I found out that the program I was using to create the Boot Screen, only had 3 screens updated,
you may have noticed that after flashing the BootLoader screen button info text moved to the center.
The new file below MotoXPureDarkFixed
has everything back the way the original worked, except for the backgrounds are now dark, and of course the warning message doesn't display
The MotoXPureJBlueIce one is the Darker Glassy pic below, it also themes the BootLoader screen to a darker blue.

That is true, but the source images from the 1st 2 came from the original "Remove unlocked bootloader warning"
thread... and shouldn't really be used, even though they kind of work.
the last 2 files that say Pure instead of play, just say "powered by Android"

If you are talking about the BootAnimation, that is a totally different file than
the bootloader screen.
If you want to change the bootAnimation.zip, there are many available on the xda website.
and now one posted in the moto x Pure thread
Thank you, the MotoXDarkPureFixed logo worked.
To let others know, this was on my Moto X Style XT1572.
Is there a way to make the bootloader unlocked screen black? I kinda like it just don't like it burning my retinas to kingdom come
Hey guys!
Just a couple of quick regarding the right vendor, bootstack and custom kernels I can use for my Axon 7
Im running...
AOSP Extended V6 GSI
Lineage 15.1 vendor
B20_Bootstack_by_Verequies.zip
I wonder if anyone can point me to the best bootstack and vendor for running AEX V6 GSI. Ive used the universal bootstack provided by Draken from here https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=270519. Which one of these would run the best if you know? Also with the bootstack I want to retain all of my button combination options (recovery and EDL) and offline charging but I can do without the warning screen.... ok I REALLY want to get rid of the warning screen.
Also I found this page https://github.com/AospExtended/platform_vendor_aosp that claims to have a AOSP vendor platform and I wanted to know if this would work.
My device was Treble checked and is Treble enabled so Im guessing I dont have to flash an EDL package with MiFlash anymore and just flash the partitions. (Confirm).
The only kernel I have is whatever came with the AEX ROM. I havent flashed anything custom yet other than the files I used for the initial install. Reason Im asking about a kernel is because Ive noticed the battery life isnt that great so Im looking for one that can give me more in that area first and foremost. Any other perks come secondary.
Thanks in advance and XDA has saved me and my phone tinkering more times than I can count. I appreciate all of your hard work! :highfive:

how would your phone not be 'treble-enabled' if you are using a GSI? Food for thoughts
Also, which bootstack are you running? Draken's or Verequies's? If Ver's, download the NO-SPLASH bootstack. That one's going to do what you want.
When I installed it for some reason it blackscreened my phone, the solution is just to get Oki's B12 EDL bootstack from his androidfilehost profile and flash it via edl (if you get dfu, use MultiDL).
Use the stock kernel or try Schwifty kernel, maybe Crimson too. Just test yourself

As I said in the initial post Im using the Verequies boot which is the No Splash which I dont mind but i want to get rid of the warning screen. Also if this is the one with the gold boot screen I am definitely gonna have to change that as it is ugly. LOLOL!
Im asking about who's tested what especially with kernels so I dont brick my phone as Ive already done this twice so I know what Ive used and will not use again.
But as I said I also found an AEX specific vendor or one labeled as one. I put the link in my OP so before I test it Im asking if anyone knows about it before I wipe my phone for no reason.
Im definitely going to try those kernels cuz like I said the battery life on the stock for the AEX V6 GSI isnt that great. LOS 16 was better but for some reason Lineage OS kept causing my phone to freeze and randomly reboot. I was using it for 3 days and it rebooted prolly 5-6 times running normally. So I dont think Im going back to LOS and will prolly stick to Havoc, Arrow or AEX for now.

verequies's splash hasn't got the 5 sec screen, but it has a weird 3 logo splash. I'm using Oki's B12 bootstack (the gold splash one, really ugly lol) but I made my own splash to replace it. it has no 5 sec screen. Oki's is based on B12 though.

Yeah the Splash version takes away the offline charging and the EDL button combo which I want to keep. I just wanna get rid of the Warning screen I guess and keep all the other functionality and Im good!
