Is it possible to replace the splash screen for iOS and Android with a custom one?

As far as I know there are 2 splash screens in iOS PhoneGap:

  • The "normal" iOS splash screen
  • The PhoneGap splash screen (same image with a spinner)

Would it be possible to:

  • replace the "normal" iOS splash on runtime as it is possible with normal xCode Projects
  • replace the "spinner" splash screen (I couldn´t figure out if that´s the phonegap-plugins / iPhone / SplashScreen code or not)

It seems that the normal xCode ways of doing things get overwritten. I´m a bit confused by that as I´m new to PhoneGap.

yeah,you can do that.

  1. make your custom image in 640×960px(name:Default@2x~iphone.png) and 320×480px(name:Default~iphone.png)

  2. go to[Name Your Project]/Resources/splash

  3. replace them..

Thanks. Do you know if I can change the path to the image? For example to something like ../Documents/ that I can change at runtime? –  thomasf1 Jul 2 '12 at 8:11
