GINGERBREAD METHOD + DUMP TO GET A DIRECTLY FLASHABLE COLORED LOGO:

Rename your 480x800<100ko image (not sure maybe bigger's works,I heard that but a test with 177ko image didn't worked for me) as logo.jpg and copy it to /sdcard.

Flash a Samsung ginger rom (for me JVU).

Flash a kernel to get root (which one is up to you as long as it fits with the stock ginger firmware you just flashed,a matching CF-Root or Semaphore for instance but if semaphore don't forget to take superuser on market.

Tick usb debug in phone settings (somewhere under applications>development if i remember well) and set screen off delay to 10 minutes to be sure (adb loose connection when screen is off).

Go to download mode and flash that "empty" param.lfs .tar with Odin (or the param.lfs in it if using Heimdall):

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25071013/i9000_gb_param_LFS.tar

That comes from here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1065743

Device will reboot to recovery,choose reboot system.You may see download mode logo but it will boot fine.

Once device is running you plug USB (don't activate mass storage) , open command and type "adb devices" first to be sure adb see your device and then:

adb shell su -c "mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl6 /mnt/.lfs"

<enter>

adb shell su -c "busybox cp -r /mnt/sdcard/logo.jpg /mnt/.lfs/logo.jpg"

<enter>

Reboot device to check,if all went well you may see you have now two logo,the new one that appears fast followed by the samsung one...it sucks but when you'll get back to your CM10.1 or whatever aosp rom it will be ok and stay like this until you flash a stock samsung ginger rom again

If you have to use terminal emulator commands will be a little different:

su

<enter>

(allow root)

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl6 /mnt/.lfs

<enter>

busybox cp -r /mnt/sdcard/logo.jpg /mnt/.lfs/logo.jpg

That's it you can now go back,if you came to ginger just for this, to your aosp rom but before that what about saving this new logo in a param.lfs file you'll be able to flash directly on top of aosp rom? :)

Open terminal emulator and type:

su

<enter>

dd if=/dev/block/stl6 of=/sdcard/param.lfs bs=4096

You'll get a 1.25mb param.lfs file that can be flashed directly on aosp i9000 rom.

Use the param.lfs as it is if using Heimdall or .tar it for Odin (I use iZarc to get working Odin .tar on windows).

That's how it is: A param.lfs extracted from a stock Sammy ginger firmware can't be flashed on aosp (softbrick, only download mode available); but a dump of a stock ginger mnt/.lfs partition saved as param.lfs yes.

What you can get this way:

First a dump of the original i9000 logo:

Dear Bedja can I have one boot splash logo only saying Samsung, like semaphore one. Please! ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Bejda:
Thank you ;)

Should be possible if you give me any image where "Samsung" appears the way you want it,I'm not very skilled with graphics you know i just learned recently to grab,cut,edit some images but create a logo from scratch would be very difficult for me.

Anyway,I'll check asap something for you but let's wait a little for further precisions on that whole param.lfs and bootsplash matter.As soon as time will allows me (mostly during the night in Europa) I'll try to explain the whole story.

There's two method for changing bootsplash logo actually, one is "known" and involve going back to stock Samsung ginger to do it but allows more elaborated images.

We'll talk about this too ;)

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] kasper_h:
Thanks Bedja, nice idea! Have been looking into this myself, but never ventured into it. Will give it a try soon :)

Can it also be heimdall flashed?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] kasper_h:
For those windows-free people, heimdall can also be used!

-extract the .tar so you have a param.lfs file. Move this to your home folder

-open new terminal window

-do "heimdall flash --param param.lfs"

-phone will auto-reboot

-tada, you are done!

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Bejda:
I'd like to know about this, I never used Heimdall for now and thought that if the .tar'd param.lfs is ok for Odin the param.lfs itself would be ok through Heimdall?

I'll give all references I found about this,how I managed to edit one on windows but main point to know is that stock Samsung ginger param.lfs (or the "empty" one from ginger method) will softbrick an aosp running i9000,a real softbrick/dead like device with only download mode available and so only way to get out of it is flash a stock ginger rom or one of that modded param.lfs.

The difference is I used as base a param.lfs with Google logo that were on anarkia1976 AnarkyRom thread on i9000 dev section and was working directly under aosp.

I only found the HEX edit way and some rules behind but i still don't even know where that param.lfs come from.I asked Anarkia1976 and he answered me gently but about kernel splash :) i didn't bothered him again since then.

There's many unknown zones for me about this all and one of the goal of this thread will be to gather knowledge.As for me i've gone as far as i could/wanted but there's many things i'd like to know...it's kinda like an old i9000 mystery (the only device where it's that difficult to deal with splashscreen?).

The ginger method is just about pushing a logo.jpg to mnt/.lfs but things are different under aosp.

Would you have any idea about where that param.lfs that works directly on i9000 aosp rom could come from?

I don't think it's a i9000 ginger one made compatible,i thought about some similar device like gnex or nexus s but didn't find nothing.

Here's the original Google logo param.lfs:

Not sure,only hint i have is the gingerbread method (link in second post) where you can see that ON GINGERBREAD the same "empty" param.lfs can be used for both devices.

So maybe it's ok,i guess it should but can't say for sure...be prepared to reflash a stock rom if **** happens.. or try the ginger way,it's pretty cool as you can push any 480x800 logo.jpg < 100ko.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Bejda:
Funny how you tend to forget the "?" as well as the "please"

It's just about open/unzip the .tar that goes into PDA,just use 7zip or whatever (i'd recommend IZArc to deal with android stuffs if using windows), delete the .md5 extension if there is one and it gives you problem, param.lfs is there in PDA (sometimes named CODE,the biggest in a three .tar firmware).

Hey bejda, can you make one for cyancore kernel? Thanks in advance.

Sent from my dad's stocky i9300 sgs3
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Bejda:
Pleased of your interest :)

Of course as I asked to get a hand on cyancore logo but I thought that maybe colors were important on it and meanwhile found something new..

I'm now able to push colored and up to 100ko logo (as in ginger method) into a param.lfs that works directly under aosp.

Pretty nice but it involves me going back to ginger to do so then I'm not sure I'll fulfill many colored/>100ko bootsplash requests (maybe once in a while though,if I it happens there is many requests waiting and i have enough spare time) but a how-to post is coming soon.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Bejda:

hello Bejda..may I request Liverpool FC please...? I look on Juve logo and its simply awesome :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Bejda:

There's a way to have a <100ko 480x800 colored logo but (that's the new part) bring back from there a param.lfs that will work directly on cm7/ICS/JB :)

This way you can share it with others or make some good jokes to ManU fans ;)

Anyway I'll go soon to ginger to bring back some "better looking" (well that's a point of view,personally I tend to keep preferring sober black&white ones) ready-to-flash logo so while waiting please send your 480x800 <100ko jpg you wish to have so I'll have material to bring back (or any image you want,maybe i could edit it for it fits).

i guess reflash gb bootloaders would be enough :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Bejda:
No it won't :)

Indeed you can find images in boot.bin and sbl.bin http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1750645 but it won't give you back the original logo.

In addition i'm not really into flashing bootloaders alone just for fun cause the two seconds during this time are the only ones when your device can be dead bricked if something unexpected happens.

That said the sentence you quoted is wrong too now,one could make a dump of is mnt/.lfs partition on gingerbread (last part of second post/first page) with original logo to have a restore param.lfs that could be flashed on aosp.

I think I dumped the original Samsung galaxy S logo last time I went to gingerbread,I'll check and update the OP (i have to add a section for param.lfs gingerbread dump like the LiverPool one and add a Kasper_h aokp Infamous logo as well anyway).
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Ahmad_Ashraf:
I need to ask a stupid question

Is the param.LFS a device specific file or we can flash it on an i9001 or an i9003 for example
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Bejda:
I can't say but I guess that same process (being on stock Samsung firmware,change logo and make a dump that could be flashed on aosp) should works and helps there too.

How we can creat our own logo ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Bejda:
First page/second post,you just need a 480x800 logo.jpg <100ko and follow the instructions.

As for the Black&White ones in first post they're made by HEX editing param.lfs made with second post/gingerbread method.That way you don't need to go back to ginger but it only allows Black&White from what I know and it's kinda hard for me to explain the process.

If someone skilled with Hexadecimal stuffs would want to know more and help to see if we could pass by that color limitation I'd be glad to try to explain but right now a how-to would be far too incomplete and very complicated for me to write.

[MENTION=4804871]DerRomtester[/MENTION],

if you try second post method let me know of any difficulty you may face i'll try to provide support the best as I can or do specifics parts like Odin .tar if needed (iZarc).

If it happens your attempt fail and your device end softbricked (only download mode available) it is not a big deal,just flash any of the param.lfs .tar from here and it will boot fine,no need to reflash stock firmware and all..

I could try a Bayern Munich logo myself but it's better if you save me little time by giving me an already made 480×800 .jpg or even point me to any image you would like to have.

Two possibilities:

You're ok with a not very sophisticated black&white logo and then I can try the initial HEX edit method,it shouldn't be a long wait then if all goes well.

Or you prefer a more shiny thing like the Liverpool one and then it will be the second post ginger way...but here,if you don't try it yourself you will have to wait for me to go on Sammy's firmware and that doesn't happen very often ;) (maybe if I had a lot of requests to fulfill i'll take time though..)

Anyway,It's a pleasure for me to provide requested logo's and would be pleased to help anyone willing to try it himself so don't hesitate asking ;)
