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/

@nobita
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”:

[schlachtkreuzer6]

@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!
