    You cannot do this. The splash screen and browser screen are a part of the phone put there at manufacture. There is no way to ever change this so you had better get to love it.

    This is like my Dell laptop always says Dell when it starts up - no way to remove this. I can change the OS but it always says Dell.

    Try upgrading the OS without the "vendor.xml". I don't think it can take off the startup splash image but it may take away some of the phone's branding.

    No, it does not. I have tried this myself. Teh branding is in the ROM and is called by the OS as needed. Nice idea though.

    The ROM needs to be re-flashed (in theory) but I have no ways of doing this nor do I endorse the flashing of ROMs on your device.

    I don't think there is a way. If it doesn't bother keep it!

    There is a way. Google is your partner in crime.

    I would warn against trying the procedure you will find on Google unless you are VERY familiar with your device, are comfortable with the risk of ruining the phone, and can afford to replace your device if/when you screw it up beyond repair.

    It is much easier and safer to sell your current device and purchase a new one that is for your actual company of service.

    Yup. Unless it really bugs you, don't mess around with the core of the phone. Else, you may screw it up beyond use and you'll end up with a paperweight or an expensive repair bill.

    Not worth the risk.

    Your bootsplash screen?

    That's just a part of your BIOS. It's easy to change that screen on a PC.


    I used to have ASCII art of a middle finger as my bootsplash screen on my old 486 laptop in High School.
