How to: Change Boot logo (splash screen.) NOT your bootanimation.
In order for you to change the boot logo or charging battery background you need to go back to GB rom, change the boot logo, then go back to JB. Other wise the boot logo or battery charge background wont stick to JB even if you mod param.lfs. Follow the instructions to the T and nothing should go wrong.

Things you need:

0- Root Access
1- Odin
2- SGS2 BootScreen Changer and Titanium Backup from the play store.
3- A GB rom. I choose EL26 Rooted no data
4- CWM, again i choose EL26 rom, so i downloaded EL26 repack kernel w/CWM
5- A copy of your current Modem mine is GC01

Steps:

0- Download everything you need and make sure you DON'T have the yellow triangle

1- Now create, and copy the image you want to set up, as your Boot logo, Battery Charge Boot Screen or both somewhere on your sdcard. Make sure their size are 480 x 800

2- Make a Backup of your current .apks via Titanium Backup

3- Create an Update.zip of Titanium Backup by going into Titanium Backup settings/create (update.zip)

4- Ok now the fun begins. MAKE A BACKUP of your current rom. By going into CWM after is done backing up your device you can reboot phone.

5- Remove MD5 checksum from the backup you just make. Instructions here.

6- Reboot into Download mode.

7- Flash the GB rom thru odin. I choose EL26 no data.

8- Flash the GB repack kernel w/CWM thru odin. I choose EL26 repack kernel w/CWM

9- Now Reboot into CWM recovery, Wipe Data/Factory Reset, Wipe Cache and Wipe Dalvik Cache. (Failing to do so you will end up w/ .apks force closes.)

10- Flash the Titanium Backup update.zip you created on step 3- thru CWM and Reboot system.

11- Restore SGS2 BootScreen Changer from the Titanium Backup app.

12- Open SGS2 BootScreen Changer and there you are. Now set your Boot screen (boot logo), Battery charge background screen or both.

13- Reboot to watch your new Boot logo in action or turn off your device and connect it to a power source to watch your new charge battery background in action or both.

14- Reboot into Recovery and make a backup just in case you want to go back to GB and flash a different image.

15- OK!, now is time to go back to JB or the rom you were previously on

16- Reboot into CWM recovery (just in case you rebooted system) then scroll down to backup and restore hit the home button,/ scroll down to advance restore hit the home button,/ choose your JB backup or the rom backup you were previously on hit the home button,/ now restore BOOT ONLY NOTHING ELSE! DO NOT REBOOT SYSTEM YET.

17- Still in CWM, go all the way back to CWM home directory, scroll down to advance hit the home button,/ now choose REBOOT RECOVERY. now you should be on your previous Recovery.

18- Now restore your (JB rom/ rom you were previously on) Backup entirely. NOW you can Reboot your system.

19- Wait! you notice you DON'T have (3g/4g) DATA, right? ok, now go back into download mode and flash the copy of the modem you were previously on.

20- DONE!DONE!DONE! and DONE!

NOTE:
Before you make any changes to your Firmware ALWAYS,ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP and make sure you download the files that fits your firmware. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE, flash and follow the instruccions @ your own risk. This MOD has been tested by ME.

Here is my current photoshopped boot logo (splash screen):

Here is the Stock logo if you ever want to get it back:

ALRIGHT GUYS..BIG TIME EDIT AND SCREW UP ON MY PART!!I FEEL SO STUPID! FORGET ABOUT PHONEON.OGG!

>>>>>>ITS PowerOn.ogg<<<<<<<<<<

The bootanimation4u.zip from the xda forum is freakin great.i have the BAC app from play store and I have been trying for days to get it to work and it never would.soon as I flashed the 4u.zip went into BAC, it worked perfectly.
And if any1 is having trouble getting a custom boot sound/music to work, just back up the PowerOn.ogg file in system/media/audio/UI, and just name watever mp3 boot sound/music to PowerOn.ogg and it will work like a charm..if yall already know that then cool, just figured id put that info out there..
AGAIN GUYS IM SORRY..A BIG TIME ERROR AND TYPO ON MY PART:(

Tried it with no success. Set one of my .mp3 files to PhoneOn.ogg. nothing. Got my Simpsons boot animation rockin though. :)


Get yourself a ringtone maker/editor, and use it to make the sound file from your mp3. then rename it to the startup sound file. Put it in the right location with es file manager and set the permissions to the file to rw,r,r

I have done that lots of times to get just the right clip of a sound for something.

I didn't change permissions before. Just tried it with full mp3 and changed name of it to PhoneOn.ogg once inside system/media/audio/ui. Then I made permissions as above, still didn't work. So what's the point of the ringtone editor? To make the file shorter so it will work or so you can change the file name from there ? Just trying to get a better understanding as to what I'm about to do.

Ha. Just got my new boot image to work on baked black bean. I used oamilcar's custom image with the blueish background from this thread. I actually managed to do everything without the use of a PC. Went back to a custom el29 GB and back again with pure success. Pretty much followed the threads advice except I flashed everything from the phone. Mobile Odin and in cwm.

Here's a link to where I got my simpsons boot animation from. Its got a few other good ones too.

The editor can save the file in the .ogg format. Changing the name does not change name extension does not change the format. A .mp3 is not a .ogg
