Boot Animation Help.

So i have a rooted Samsung Continuum, And i want to change my boot screen and since i dont have a recovery option right now i cant flash anything.
So i have to place the boot animation zip on the phone, Well heres the problem i cant find where im suppose to place the file?? Any help would be great.

Yeah, i tried doing the same...
But i learned the hard way that you need to have a kernel installed on your phone that supports changing the bootscreen.. Which continuum users do not have yet.. What we need is Clockwork, which there is development going on to get it So, soon

Ahh ok
Looking around i did find bootsamsung.qmg
and bootsamsungloop.qmg
No idea what those are lol.

Its coming tomorrow a pre-rooted, init.d supporting, custom boot animation packin' 2.1update1 kernel with ext4 AND rfs support. (;

NERDGASM!!!! XD Could you please not tease us!!!!!!!??????? lol that is AWESOME!

Just looking at the /system dump files, they are .qmg files. Which I know nothing about, I was also hoping it was just a .zip file in the system media folder. I guess if you find a way to read the .qmg file, and create a new one once you dissect the old one.

Just woundering when a new phone comes out how long does it normally take for modes to start poping up I am new to the Droid phones and was just woundering

Well not many people have this phone so there isnt much right now, There is a dev getting one of these phones so hopefully in a couple weeks maybe longer we should have some cool stuff.
Just a matter of waiting.

Well, the Continuum has been very odd about that... Most phones that are going to get pretty big communities, get them pretty quickly. It really is just a matter of being patient and not having devs rush things.

Thank you you all know your stuff

Looking for a good, recent bootanimation.zip tutorial

Been trying to make my own and I keep getting a black screen only. I'm not sure if it's the png files I'm winding up with, or my desc.txt but it's not really working for me. I know that my kernel supports bootanimation.zip, I've tested this with the angry android one, so it's not that there's no support.
HELP! Thanks in advance.

Can u tell me which kernel are u using mine doesnt work with boot animation

I'm using Bali 2.1 UV. It's had bootanimation support since its first release for the SGS though. I doubt you'd get that working with any stock kernel

Search this very forum for a thread started by bl4ckphenix about boot animations.
It's one of the older threads, back in the kb5 days, when all we had was krylon's kernel for it.

I attached my current bootanimation.zip if anyone wants to take a look at it and tell me what I've done wrong. Thanks.

Splash Screens

I remember back on the mt4g forums they had a thread going that users could flash a .zip file and change their splash screen(very first screen that pops up on boot) Now i'm just wondering if anyone on here knows how to make these flashable zips on the g2x, or would it be possible to use the ones on the mt4g section for our device as well?

I remember when I was able to do that with my MT3G, had so much fun with that capability, that was one of my things to make my iPhone friends jealous... I always stuck with a custom one that I made saying NOFTCHX with a red slash through one LOVED it.

I had a similar thread when the G2x first came out, here's where it lead me.

I found a way to change it but don't remember the file name. If you look in the trinity kernel zip its in there though. Its not wireless.ko, boot.img or bootanimation.zip. I want to say its named boot something though. And I don't think it involves messing with the kernel itself. However I don't remember for sure been a while.

It would be pretty awesome if you wouldn't mind to look into it a bit more. I would love to have the Nexus One's Splash Screen.

I can't get it to work. I have placed it in system/media and local/data but I still get the stock at&t animation. I am rooted running the stock 4.0.4 rom. I have changed the permissions to meet those of other files in the directories but nothing seems to do the trick. Someone wanna offer a hand?
(edit) made sure to specify my rom version.

Stock kernel doesn't allow custom boot animations - you'll need to flash a kernel that supports it. Check the dev section for them.

Will that trip my flash counter?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Not if you use recovery to flash as opposed to Odin. Plus there is a thread somewhere in dev I think with info that allow you to reset the counter.

What kernel is suggested? And what benefits would it bring to the table?

This for the skyrocket. Don't think it's Pentium at all. Correct me if I'm wrong. And what is i440BX?

This thread has links to mohan's kernels
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28350575
It's got a modified ramdisk which gives you the ability to use custom boot animations and init.d support.
Seanscreamz' latest ROM thread also has links to similar kernels, but they may have been adjusted further to work more specifically with his ROM; mohan's kernels are pretty much stock.

He's referring to the text at the very bottom of your first screenshot, i440BX is the Intel chipset for Pentium 2.
Awesome work btw -nice to see something different

Should be "initialization" and "receiver" too. Your edit at the bottom is a different color from the main body text as well... Was that intentional? Otherwise, awesome and using it.

Its not a joke. If you're not going to be helpful don't comment. I know what a boot animation does and I know why we have them. I was merely wondering if there was a way of making my system play the entire animation before going into the ROM itself. I am a noob with something's which is fair enough, everyone is at some point.
