this is correct

Thanks, the "kernel" folder made me think that I had to put the kernel I wanted to use in there or something like that. Good stuff.

If that's true, every kernel dev could have their own splash screen, which would be cool.

Edit: con247, GO BLUE!

Many kernel devs already have their own splash screens. This makes it so we cab have what we want. Gives you the control.
If it's broken...beat it into submission until it works!

Any chance this could be updated to replace the one for recovery as well? If it's much work don't bother, but it would be nice. Thanks!

Yeah it is doable pretty easily but modifying the recovery partition to me doesn't seem like an excellent idea. Because if your image is corrupt and borks boot and recovery your only choice is odin.

Ah, good point. Thanks for the quick answer!

Stupid question...is it possible to set this up in an app to run on the device rather than pc? Maybe I'm just lazy but it would be pretty sweet. Also, if I pull the image from the zip after its created can I use root explorer to copy paste or even terminal to adb push?

Yes
The app would need to dump the current boot partition, make the modifications and then reflash it

No, the boot partition is not technically mounted while android is running. Its loaded into memory which you could write to, but it won't do any good because it will get wiped out upon a reboot.

The main issue would be finding image manipulation binaries compiled for arm.
