i was just wondering if anyone knew how to change the shutdown animation on an inspire. i was able to change the boot animation but i tried the same method with the shutdown one and was unsuccessful .
I'd like to know this as well. I was just thinking about it last night.
I can't find where to place the .png
I am actually working on one right now. It is pretty much the same concept as a bootanimation.
if you figure it out, be sure to post it.
It's called downanimation.zip in /system/customize/resource. See this thread for more information as well as Shutdown animations.
Try using root explorer, replace the file /data/local/downanimation.zip and set the permissions rw-r--r--
It worked for me.
Hey everyone, I just put the Nexus S/Nexus One boot animation on my G2X and I must say it looks really nice, and it also goes well with the phone because of the 'X' in G2X. To apply it you need to be rooted. Simply put the zip file on your SDcard, rename the file to 'bootanimation.zip' (without quotes), and copy it to /system/media/ using root explorer or ADB. I'll attach the boot animation below.
NOTE: You will have to delete the old boot animation in /system/media/. I backed mine up by renaming it to bootanimation.zip.bak.
Just tried it and works, except this is the old school "Android." Logo. I thought this would be the nice Nexus X logo.

make sure you set the permissions correctly.
What permissions??
I used this, and it works perfectly.

Only thing thats a bit annoying is that I still have the Tmobile shutdown animation which sucks!
I cannot find an answer regarding this and I think my post was deleted from another thread regarding the boot animation.
Does anybody know if we can disable the boot animation on the Droid Charge?
I was easily able to disable the boot sound by renaming the poweron.wav sound file to poweron.wav.bak with Root Explorer, and it worked like a charm.
I noticed the .qmg files for the boot animation but I didn't want to bootloop the phone by renaming them because I don't really know what I'm doing.
Does anybody know a safe way to disabling the boot animation?
Thanks!
As far as I know, deleting the boot ani qmg file won't bootloop the phone and it will just stop the animation from happening. The bootanimation binary will run, not find the file, and exit, but the boot process should continue normally. It'd be the same as if you were using bootanimation.zip files and just removed the zip, you'd get basically nothing.
Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a go and report back!
EDIT: Renaming bootsamsung.qmg to bootsamsung.qmg.bak in sytem/media with rootexplorer worked perfectly. Maybe I'm tripping, but it seems like it boots up faster. Nice!
Hey guys,
I have two devices, an Atrix 4G running Epinter's Cm10 and a ASUS TF300T running a Cm10 nightly. In earlier builds of Cm10 I was able to change the boot animation to the Galaxy nexus Jellybean boot animation I downloaded by moving the new bootanimation.zip to /system/media... but since updating to newer nightlies of cm10 pasting the bootanimation.zip I downloaded into /system/media (deleting the old one first) doesn't work.
The cm10 boot animation is gone, but now it just says "android" for the boot animation... which I guess is a new default boot animation? I know in the past if you deleted bootanimation.zip it was just a blank screen.
On http://rootzwiki.com/topic/32749-new-cm10-boot-animation-issues/ blaineevans said you have to change the permissions to (rw-r--r--). Not entirely sure what that means. It looks like you are supposed to take off permissions? But /system/media/bootanimation.zip has no permissions on it. (root explorer lite)
I am trying to enable the boot animation on my One Touch Evolve. I have located the bootanimation.zip (custpack/JDR_custres/media), but the animation never happens when I start the phone. Is there something I need to add to the build.prop to get it going? I am running Android 4.1.2
The same for shut down...the animation file is there, but I see no animation.
I even tried putting the bootanimation.zip in the /system/media folder...doesn't work either...
boooooot animation
if your are rooted goto system\media\paste your zip file as bootanimation.zip
and reboot enjoy

Thanks for the reply...yes, I'm rooted, but that didn't work either. Is there something with the permissions maybe? When I first got the phone, the original boot animation didn't even work. That's why I was wondering if there was something in the build.prop that told it not to, or maybe there is a line I can add?
