          Hi, if you have installed the jessie plex version, you have to start

          sudo raspi-config

          At point 3 Boot Options it is possiblr to general disable or enable the splash screen on boot.

          If you have an normal jessie without plex the use a custom splash screen

          sudo apt-get install fbi

          Copy your custom splash image to /etc/ and name it splash.png.

          Next, create an init.d script called “asplashscreen” in “/etc/init.d/”.

          Create now this script with
          sudo nano /etc/init.d/asplashscreen

          #! /bin/sh
          ### BEGIN INIT INFO
          # Provides:          asplashscreen
          # Required-Start:
          # Required-Stop:
          # Should-Start:      
          # Default-Start:     S
          # Default-Stop:
          # Short-Description: Show custom splashscreen
          # Description:       Show custom splashscreen
          ### END INIT INFO
          
          
          do_start () {
          
              /usr/bin/fbi -T 1 -noverbose -a /etc/splash.png    
              exit 0
          }
          
          case "$1" in
            start|"")
              do_start
              ;;
            restart|reload|force-reload)
              echo "Error: argument '$1' not supported" >&2
              exit 3
              ;;
            stop)
              # No-op
              ;;
            status)
              exit 0
              ;;
            *)
              echo "Usage: asplashscreen [start|stop]" >&2
              exit 3
              ;;
          esac
          
          :
          

          Then make that script executable and install it for init:

          sudo chmod a+x /etc/init.d/asplashscreen
          sudo insserv /etc/init.d/asplashscreen
          

          Reboot and watch your custom splash screen:

          sudo reboot

          If you want to hide most of the Boot text then follow this step:

          sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt

          may look something like this:

          tty3: starts with console 3 to hide the boot messages!
          
          dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=ttyAMA0,115200 console=tty3 loglevel=3 logo.nologo root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline fsck.repair=yes rootwait
          

          good luck

                  The the easiest way to change the splash screen is changing the picture 😉 https://pi280.wordpress.com/2016/10/17/about-that-pixel-splash-screen/

                      I did not check, so this is all theory.
                      The splashscreen is using plymouth, so you should be able to change it the “common way”:

                        @nobita yeah just change that image to another image (in the standard plymoth directory) and you are fine. i did that like this, before MM v2.1 with the splash screen was released, because that wohle plymouth stuff did not work for me. and there just few comandlines and worked perfectly!
