Thanks for the location, now since I have it and gonna do up my own bootscreen how do I go about pushing it back to my phone?
I think I found out how.
Remount the system partition read-write: adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
Push the file across to your device: adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
At least something to try when i get it done.

I have been using Droid Explorer (free program for your computer) to do this stuff and it seems to work well. Most people seem to use Root Explorer (paid app) on most of the Boot Screen threads.

Has anyone got any boot screens to share? Or show off?
Sent from my rooted x10i

I have one I'm working on all it is is the one file but haven't figured out the desc.txt file to get it right just yet all I get right now is a black screen after the Sony Ericsson screen. After I get it figured out I'll be dropping more bootscreens for everyone.

cool

I have an animation of a fine lady lifting her top as my bootanimation. I was surpriced how easy it is to make your own organisations so i am going to make a few and maybe share them if i find them good enough :-D unfortunately i cant upload a picture showing my animation because i am a new user, and therefore aparantly not allowed to post links...

Found these desc.txt info somewhere in XDA forum.
480 854 = (W x H) Animation size
12 = fps
p = pointer (don't change)
1 = no. of times to play, 0= loop
ani1, ani2, ani3 = folder containing png files (animation)
24 = freeze on last frame in each folder (fps)
Hope that helps..

desc.txt is used by the phone for timing purposes i think.
I used root explorer to import my boot animation, its very easy.

Xoom bootanimation adapted to the TAB

Hi,
I attached the Xoom bootanimation adapted to the TAB (full size)...
* in adb, just mount system for r/w access, then push the bootanimation.zip to /system/media and finally set the permissions to 0644.
with rootexplorer, simply copy to /system/media and fix permissions...
* It works only in conjuction with roms that supports bootanimation, like overcome (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932082)
If is not allowed, please, delete the file

dumb question, but any screen shots?

one of the images of the animation is provided at the OP post

where does the files gets replace?
thanks

instructions are in OP post now

Thanks looks nice but how to change the permissions to 0644 in root explorer i only have some boxes in the permission menu.

with root explorer: large click on /system/media/bootanimation.zip
select permissions in the popup menu and set to
owner: read & write
group: read
other: read

in my root explorer i couldnt set the media folder to mount r/w.

holy smokes, that is a nice boot animation! thanks

I just did it manually and it is working fine and nice animation.thanx

thanks a lot ! works perfect on Overcome 1.2.0

Hmm... must be doing something wrong.
File is there (Overcome 1.2.0 bootimage.zip overwritten), permissions are set but still the stock Samsung bootscreen. Must have missed something

Thanks bartito, it's really nice!

As per the "same" ringtones, this happens sometimes with me too even when loading other ringtones on my evo. Try wipe cache and reboot and try again. After a while if there were dupes they go away, and everything goes back to normal.

Awesome! Since my Evo and Xoom are now good buddies, this will help them to become even closer. Thanks

haha yup. EVO & XOOM love ;-)
glad ya like them ;P

I'm using ES file explorer and when I try to extract to that path it says I have to extract to the SD card. Any ideas why or should I use a better file manager?

ES File Manager does not allow you to go to anything prior than /sdcard i believe.
Root Explorer (for root users) allows you to get into those system folders.
Are you rooted?

Cool I'll get Root Explorer from the market. Thanks.
I'm rooted by the way.

[MOD] Galaxy SII (S2) Boot animations

For everyone that seriously dislikes the pinks as much as me here's a solution until the KG4/KG6 kernel can be modded to support custom animations. These will also work with any froyo build too.
I extracted the boot animations from the S2 stock ROM, since I couldn't seem to find them anywhere.
Copy and replace them with the ones you currently have in:
/System/Media/Bootsamsung.qmg
and
/System/Media/Bootsamsungloop.qmg
Link to download.
Dead Link removed
Enjoy!

If you are on Gingerbread (KG4/KG6) you should be able to replace shutdown.qmg inside of /system/media/video/shutdown with bootsamsung.qmg.
I haven't tried this myself but it should work.
Froyo builds you would not be able to because it reads the PNG sequence of images in the same folder for the shutdown graphics.

Can you take shutdown.qmg, PowerOFF.wav files out of Galaxy S2 and post here. I don't know about the S2, but on the SGS4G files are located in
/system/media/audio/ui/PowerOFF.wav
/system/media/video/shutdown/shutdown.qmg
so everything matches. Thank you ahead of time.

Here's shutdown.qmg from Cognition ROM for S2. See if it helps.
** Remember to backup your orignal shutdown.qmg

Out of curiosity, is this boot animation the cleaned up version or the stock version?
The stock boot animation on the Gnex was low res, some people made a higher res version and touched up the colours (true blacks for the Gnex). Just wanted to know which one this was based off Thanks
