Phonegap Cordova - How to remove default splash screen?
<p>When I used to start up my app, it would show the common splash screen: <a href="https://www.google.com/search?biw=1366&amp;bih=667&amp;tbm=isch&amp;sa=1&amp;q=cordova%20android%20splash%20screen&amp;oq=cordova%20android%20splash%20screen&amp;gs_l=img.3...3442.4414.0.4584.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0..0.0....0...1c.1.64.img..0.0.0.HlLmVH4tGUs#imgrc=HJeAimnld9GDKM%3A" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.google.com/search?biw=1366&amp;bih=667&amp;tbm=isch&amp;sa=1&amp;q=cordova+android+splash+screen&amp;oq=cordova+android+splash+screen&amp;gs_l=img.3...3442.4414.0.4584.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0..0.0....0...1c.1.64.img..0.0.0.HlLmVH4tGUs#imgrc=HJeAimnld9GDKM%3A</a></p>

<p>Now it seems it cuts off about 1/10th of the top of the image and covers the screen with it for the initial few seconds, THEN my app starts normally, like so:</p>

<p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/aMKk9.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/aMKk9.jpg" alt="Splash Screen"></a></p>

<p>I have been ignoring it until I finished the app, now I am nearly done publishing and wish to fix this issue.</p>

<p>I was wondering if there is a way to take out the splash screen entirely. I tried removing the pictures from res/xml and adding</p>

<pre><code>&lt;preference name="SplashScreen" value="none"/&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>but doesn't work.</p>

<p>This is for an android app.</p>

<p>I am going to make it for iOS soon after I finish and publish for android, so if they are different methods for different platforms, please include.</p>
