Did you resize the pic to the correct size first? I use Irfanview for this.

I did not test this, I am not responsible for anything that happens to your device....yada yada yada.......

Don't forget to hit the thanks.....IF it works!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shekinahsmoke:
here is the pic reuploaded at 720 x 1280 ...thank you!! :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] FreddyFredFred:
I resized the pic before I made the zip for you. I tried to make the aspect ratio the same, but it is a little off of correct.

Did you try the flashthisimage I posted? If so, did it work? It should have.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shekinahsmoke:
Going to check now

didnt work.. maybe blame twrp 2.6.3.0? dunno
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] FreddyFredFred:
Weird. I just downloaded it and flashed it on my S3 running cm's latest nightly with twrp 2.6.3 and it worked fine.

I'm not sure what your issue is? Good luck!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shekinahsmoke:
Have no idea.....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bigpappags3:
If it didn't work on this one and it didn't work on the one I did for u, u need to make sure ur kernel supports init. Maybe try flashing a kernel that supports it. I'd try freezes thread for one.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
^^This and make sure you have an init.d folder. If not just create one.

Have a great day!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shekinahsmoke:
My init.d folder has .bak on it because of killjoy i suppose... I see what is up

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Darkstar2r1:
Noob question maybe but...

Anyone have tried it with Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE ?

If yes, does it work ?

Thanks in advance
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
I would assume so, since this is the GS3 forum.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Darkstar2r1:
I ask it because at the first line of the thread, dev tells "This DOES NOT work on the i9300/note 2 and never will, please stop asking about it"

Mine is Gt-i9305 S3 LTE, so i don't know :/

Anyway, thank you for your answer :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Ahh, my bad... You weren't specific lol, this S3 has LTE too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Darkstar2r1:
I gonna try it by myself and tell you if it works :)

Thank for your anwsers
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
My advice would be to use a different method of flashing, it should create the image just fine for your phone, but I think the reason it won't work is the location of the splash screen is different... Just a guess.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Darkstar2r1:
[MENTION=4310299]bilgerryan[/MENTION]: Saddly, it doesn't work. :(

Doesn't work with Samsung Galaxy SIII 4G LTE i9305 too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KashRaman:
Startup screen changed but not recovery startup

Thanks, It worked for me.

Model: S3 I747

CM 11

Though the startup splash screen has changed, when I go to recovery mode splash screen comes up before TWRP recovery. Is there a way to update that too.

I did wipe cache and dalvik cache before and after flashing the boot logo.

can someone help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
I'm making splash screen for the Sprint/Boost/Virgin Mobile S3 and i noticed that it changes the rom boot splash screen but there is also a recovery boot splash screen [which always stays the same on stock (with recovery) or custom roms] i have no idea if we can change it.....it would be nice to know how so i can start making those as well :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ditamae:
The recovery splash/curtain is packaged in your recovery image. There's a tool somewhere (I can link it later) that allows you to unpack and swap the curtain. Actually if you follow the link in my signature regarding my recovery theme - the tool is linked in the OP.

Edit: Here's the link to Osm0sis's editing tool which can be used to swap your recovery splash/curtain. *Unpack/repack editing tool*
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] OutSpoken:
Ugh

I was very excited about this. I ran through the instructions and it didn't work. I tried twice and both times the phone got stuck in a boot loop. The images never appeared.

If anyone has experienced this, please let me know if you found a solution.

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
Just go to my custom splash screen thread and download one of them then take out the Kernel and Meta-INF form my zip and replace the ones in the Folder that your working with, just make sure you delete the Initlogo in the kernel that im providing...and then your splash screen should work on the Boost/Virgin/Sprint S3

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sk8terpunk11:
Does anyone know if there's anyway to change how long it shows the custom splash screen for. I got mine to work fine it just shows it for like 20+ secs before going to the boot animation

This DOES NOT work on the i9300/note 2 and never will, please stop asking about it.

Please take all questions/discussion to the d2_vzw thread HERE because it is the only one I'll monitor!

Thanks to the work of invisiblek and some Google searching I was able to come up with the following tool:

This tool takes a 720x1280 .PNG image and converts it to a recovery-flashable splash screen in a single click.

A video so you can see what this changes: http://youtu.be/XXaBJTVQ2Sw

How to use:

Making your own splash screen:

0) Download and extract the .zip file

1) Make a 720x1280 .png image you want to be your splash screen (this comes in-between the boot animation and the quick Samsung logo flash)

2) Name it "initlogo.png" without the quotes

3) Place it in the PNGtoConvert folder

4) Run the "PNG-2-RLE.bat" file

5) You are finished! A "flashthisinrecovery.zip" will appear in the same directory as the batch files. Just flash it in recovery and enjoy your new splash screen!

Note: If you want the .RLE and not the whole flashable, it can be found as "initlogo.rle" in the "kernel" folder or you can pull it from the kernel folder inside the "flashmeinrecovery.zip"

Converting an .RLE that you made back to a .PNG for editing:

0) Download an extract the .zip file

1) Copy the "initlogo.rle" you want to convert to a .PNG to the RLEtoConvert folder. It must be named "initlogo.rle"

2) Run the "RLE-2-PNG.bat"

3) PNG will be in the PNGtoConvert folder named "initlogoOUTPUT.png"

Other notes:

I have included the stock initlogo as a .PNG named "initlogoSTOCKBACKUP.png" for your reference/backup purposes. If you want to test the tool with it, remember to rename it to initlogo.png

If you flash a new kernel/rom the splash will revert to stock. To get it back, just flash the "flashmeinrecovery.zip" again. You don't need to reconvert it or anything.

This has only been tested with the d2_vzw but will work with all USA (S4 CPU) variants!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rogue0wn:
I'm running CM10 with the NavBar mod and have no need for those gaudy soft keys to the left/right of the home button on the S3. How can I make them go away?

Figured it out. For others: ES File Explorer - go to /sys/class/leds/button-backlight and change brightness to 0.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] davidtb12:
in AOKP there is a setting in device options to turn the lights off, but I am wondering if there is a way to disable the keys altogether, ie. maybe a .zip or through a file explorer?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prenedo:
System>usr>keylayout > sec_touchkey. Open as text and put # in front of the first two lines like in the screenshot. Also, check out sec_keys to modify home key function. Just change from 'home' to 'camera' or 'power'
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] davidtb12:
perfect, thanks so much

---------- Post added at 02:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:43 PM ----------

Had another thought, could I edit the home button to 'wake' and long press for camera?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prenedo:
The perfect combo.... it won't work though. If you change to camera it won't wake device. I've been setting it to power, as I didn't seem to use it for camera as much as I thought. And now with customizable Nav bar ring I have easy access to camera.

Also, wanted to add that a reboot is required after making the necessary changes..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Concordium:
I fix all kinds of smartphones for a living. I convinced my buddy to get an LTEvo but his microphone is not working properly. I figured I could just open it up and replace the microphone with a new one. However, I am not sure as to where exactly it is located. I noticed the mic hole on the bottom of the phone and I assume the mic is located on the large flex cable that extends downward toward the bottom of the phone. Would this be accurate? I have included a link to a parts vendor in order to verify that this is indeed the correct part that I need in order to fix his issue.

Large Flex Cable - http://www.globaldirectparts.com/HTC-EVO-4G-LTE-Flex-Cable-Ribbon-p/htc748935.htm#

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] celticking:
While I can't help you completely, there are two mics. One on the top, one on the bottom. I installed a new screen so I disassembled the phone a few times getting everything working correctly. I don't remember if the mic was on the flex cable or if it was part of the boards located on the top and bottom of the phone.

Good luck though.

Edit: found my old screen. I think you're good with those flex cables. Just make sure you get them for both the top and bottom mics.

[Nexus S General] Ulver:
I've noticed a lot of talk about Jelly Bean and ICS being slow on the Nexus S. So, has anyone reverted back to Gingerbread? It's been so long, I don't even remember what GB is like.
[Nexus S General] robrob777:
Yep, I use Bugeless GPA19, stock kernel is OK, but if you want 30mb more of free RAM use Glados 1.12.
[Nexus S General] polobunny:
Nope. If you keep your running apps under control I believe Jellybean is just right on the Nexus S. =)
[Nexus S General] C4SCA:
2 days ago i tried GB again, its not that much faster...
[Nexus S General] Gambler_3:
The only thing faster in gingerbread was installing apps and opening up search.

Jelly bean has vsync so you dont get screen tearing which was everywhere in GB, apps open up quicker in JB, the camera is much faster, the browser is much smoother and last but not least the stock launcher never crawls to a halt like it sometimes used to in GB and had to be restarted. I am not talking about launcher redrawing but in GB sometimes it would just start stuttering from one home screen to another and had to be restarted.

And I may not remember correctly this one but kinetic scrolling seems faster and smoother in JB than I had ever experienced before in ICS and GB.

The one area of disappointment for people comes from gaming. Well an OS with so many more features is obviously going to take more ram and games are going to get more and more demanding so it is not unreasonable that a new OS makes the phone a less capable gaming device.
[Nexus S General] wunderkind:
Yeesh! I used to have GB. I cannot go back there after running JB. Just CANNOT!

It's like using iOS or BADA.

My NS runs JB smoothly. No flicker no lag. Using Jellybro Rom.
[Nexus S General] fieldside99:
How can you say no, look at the quadrant results

GB (no oc) - 2500

JB (no oc) - 1250

RAM left (same number of running apps)

GB -160-180M

JB - 90-110M
[Nexus S General] 4I-I:
I would never let a quadrant change my view of an os! Im using black bean with matr1x and dont have anything to complain! Gb is ugly and i believe it wasnt faster! As a matter of fact, my phone doesnt feel slow at all...
[Nexus S General] styckx:
Quadrant is the worst benchmark to go by... A monkey high on PCP can alter i/o scores. And GB not using available RAM is actually a bad thing and will slow things down.
[Nexus S General] debaj:
Please people, forget about listing synthetic benchmark results as a ultimate measure of the phone. Nobody cares if GB scores twice as much points in Yet Another Very Accurate Benchmark, when JB feels faster and more responsible in everyday usage. :)
[Nexus S General] Nexism:
I haven't even thought of downgrading. Why switch to an old out of date unsupported OS When you have access to the most current.

I think the prob might be in your choice of ROMS/kernels try AOKP or Slim with AIR BigMem and freeze or remove the system apps you don't use. Has been working great here. No complaints.

Sent from my phone using my thumbs and a keyboard
[Nexus S General] Kitch16:
I could not go back to Gingerbread after JB, it would be like riding a stallion and then going back to a donkey. The JB interface is so much better than GB and using BlackBean 6 I have no lag at all and it's so smooth!
[Nexus S General] add119:
I agree jelly bean is slightly faster then gb as im users who use over 160+ apps and notice in each faster from 360 mb to 380 ram of 512 use. I have 140 mb left on jelly bean compare to 80 on ginger.

Another thing is when u have no apps download your phone have JB 240 mb free of 360-380 of ram the os show.

GB It was about 210 mb ram left free and 150-70 mb used up for apps preinstalled. 230 mb for os overall.

Like my bionic have 840 mb of ram of it 1,024 mb of ram
[Nexus S General] Athhar:
Single core

guyz jb and ics are optimised for multi cores.

are you sure?

back to Gingerbread?

if you looking for stability and speed, JellyBean it is..

I know.. ICS is a bit sucks..especially 4.0.3

but JellyBean? it's awesome...really awesome...

forget about benchmark scores..it's just pain in a butt, LOL

as long as you run your apps smooth.. what's the benchmark score for?

unless you're the benchmark geek
[Nexus S General] debaj:
Best in what aspect?
[Nexus S General] deetailed:
I'm on JB now and sometimes considering going back to ICS, but I have zero desire to go back to anything else. ICS is the first version of Android that I feel I can use stock, with regards to performance, UI design and functionality. JB is a smoother ICS, with the caveat of faster battery drain.
