You need root access to be able to change the splash screen. Are the boxes rooted?

thanks
so far as i know it appears to be a default android Linux image with a custom desktop environment when i run terminal ide and update it to the latest shell the ping command is unlocked so i think so.
how will i determine if its rooted?

Is there an app called SuperUser or SuperSu on there? If yes, you're more than likely rooted.

If yes, you'll need a root file browser (root explorer should do the job) and locate a file in \system\media called bootanimation.zip. You'll need to rename that, then replace it with your own, giving it the appropriate permissions.

That's a very simple way of putting it, give me some time and I'll have a dig around to see if I can find a decent, up to date guide that details the process properly, from start to finish.

You're not rooted then.

Is rooting the box an option? It's pretty much the only way you'll be able to change the boot animation.

you can change the boot animation fairly easily. Go to the play store and get the app ROM Toolbox Lite. They have youtube videos on the subject.

As far as changing the bootloader image (for example "MXQ Pro") when the box first starts up I'm looking for a solution to that as well!
