 In your `config.xml`, you need to add the following preferences:
 
     <preference name="SplashScreen" value="foo" />
-    <preference name="SplashScreenDelay" value="10000" />
+    <preference name="SplashScreenDelay" value="3000" />
     <preference name="SplashMaintainAspectRatio" value="true|false" />
 
 Where foo is the name of the splashscreen file, preferably a 9 patch file. Make sure to add your splashcreen files to your res/xml directory under the appropriate folders. The second parameter represents how long the splashscreen will appear in milliseconds. It defaults to 3000 ms.
