Out of curiosity, is it possible to change the boot animation easily on the Droid Charge?

It should be as simple as using an application such as "root tools" where it allows you to change the boot animation. Or you can use a file explore such as "Adao File Manager" after root access and going into the boot files and replacing the animation with one of your own...

It will be with a custom kernel that allows for bootanimation.zip support.
Suppressing Sound on Boot Animation
Hey Imnuts,
I know we had codes through the dialer for suppressing boot animation sounds for the fascinate. Anything like that for Charge that you know of?
Thanks

The binary file for stock boot animations is /system/bin/samsungani as an FYI

I found the files, pulled it, edited it with the new images and pushed it back. Yet it plays the same animation. Any ideas?
Bump, anyone? Im sure someone knows the problem... Thanks.

Thanks man but as of right now we cant modify these, right?
So I used Root Explorer to rename the poweron.wav to poweron.wav.bak, and now I have no retardulous bootup sound!
Has anybody tried renaming the bootup animation files to or replacing them with null files or something? I wouldn't be surprised if it results in failed bootup.

The above sounds intimidating, but I would be stoked if somebody posted a walkthrough.
I was thinking it might best be left up the ROM developer, but I'm sure many people on a given ROM would want the boot animation. I would like it disabled, or better yet, I would like to see what the phone is doing (kindof like Windows XP Safe Mode Startup)
I put it in the title, and I'll put it here again because I KNOW someone will ask (or do worse)
THIS BOOT ANIMATION WILL ONLY WORK ON THE P6210 WITH KERNELS THAT SUPPORT BOOT ANIMATIONS. THAT CURRENTLY ONLY INCLUDES MY KERNEL FOR THE P6210 WITH A VERSION GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO 20120105.
I wonder how many people will ignore that and install it on the 20120102 version (which, honestly, will amuse me quite a bit as it'll have an interesting result.)
Credit where credit is due: The actual boot animation was modified from the animation provided in UnNamed 1.x for the AT&T SGSII by gtg465x. All I did was rotate all the images, tweak the dimensions of the control file, and stick it into a recovery installable update.zip file.
How to install:
Download it. Put it on your device. Boot into recovery and install .zip file from sdcard (or internal sdcard if you put it on the microSD.)
This is completely unsupported... it's only meant as a sample and proof of concept for the boot anims.
This post has a link to a youtube showing the boot anim: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21101682&postcount=8
Take care

Rock On dude! can someone post a teaser video! thanks garyd!!
dont know if this also removes boot up sound,
in case anyone cant figure it out it should be /system/etc/poweron.wav, you can play the .wav first to verify, if so rather than delete it just rename to backuppoweron.wav
cheers!
by the way i found a way how to change the bootanimation on my galaxy mini :
1. delete the 'bootanimation' located in /system/bin (better to backup)
2. then copy and rename 'samsungani' to 'bootanimation'
3. then delete (backup) the bootani.qmg located in /system/media
4. copy the bootanimation.zip file to /system/media
and, i tried this on my gtab 7+ p6200.
but on step 3, in /system/media there are bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg. i don't know which file to delete/replace.
is the bootsamsungloop.qmg ?
can someone help me?
how come that Gtab7+ doesn't support the bootanimation ? if we got samsung bootanimation means it can support any bootanim i guess. or whatcha you think ?

ive tried this method with renaming both of these files, bootanimation finishes and lockscreen/homescreen come up but bootanimation is frozen stuck covering the top 60% of screen.
I've got this already up and going on my tab with the stock ICS boot animation. Did it late last night. Didn't use this boot animation, modified my own from my galaxy s2.
I'll post a video today on how it looks. Much better than stock.
Thanks Gary.

Eh I wouldn't think so. Its only placing a file in /system/media. Not touching any other files.
As long as you have the kernel flashed you should be good to go.

Is there any way that the boot animation could be silent? The noise is disruptive in public settings if I get a random reboot, so I'm told, lol

Normally there is a power on audio file in /system/media/audio/ui but I can't see one.
Power off is in there though
EDIT found it!
/etc/1power_on.ogg
Delete that and bye bye boot up sound
Same here. its system/etc/1_poweron.ogg just renamed mine with root explorer.
This mod is only a "proof of concept" to demonstrate the changing of the boot animation using the kernel I posted in another thread. The boot sound is unrelated to the boot animation from the kernel point of view. Normally, the boot animation and/or sound would be changed by firmware developers.

Because Samsung insists on using their own wacky bootanimation binary and format.
So you need to either:
1) Replace the binary (manual effort, no "fallback" if no bootanim is present)
2) Add a script to the kernel initramfs that uses "standard" bootanim support if you have one present, and Samsung's as a fallback.

You can simply delete the bootanimation.zip file in system/etc/media, I assume?

Thank ya thank ya and thanks again! That's been driving me nuts.
You have probably seen this boot animation before, but this one is made from scratch.
I wasn't satisfied with the image quality of other versions and didn't like the fact that all of them have Nexus logo at the end, so I used original 1080p video as base and added Note 10.1 logo transition at the end.
You can find the original video here.
I converted first part of animation and resided frames to 1280x800 and made custom ending to be more convenient for Note 10.1.
Downloads:
HQ version
jpg quality: 100%
size: 14MB
Optimized version
jpg quality: 80%
size: 7.48MB
Version with original sound coming soon. I need to extract and convert audio first.
Flash over CWM.
If you ROM doesn't support custom boot animation, you need to flash Bootanimation4U form this thread first.
All credits goes to the author(s) of the original animation that I just adopted!
If this violates any copyright of the author(s) of original animation, please let me know and I will remove it.
I used original 1080p video as base and I didn't use any part of any similar boot animation.
Change log:
2013-01-23 - Initial HQ version and optimized version published

I am not sure how package for TWRP should look since I do not use it. If package format is same I think that there is no reason for this one not to work.
In worst case, you can extract bootanimation.zip from package and put it to your /system/media/. File need to have 644 (rw-r--r--) permissions.
Thanks job well done even without sound.

If any other custom boot animation work on your device, there is no reason for this one to fail.
I see in list of features of Tundra ROM v.2.0 [UEUCMA3] (which is released today), that it have custom boot animation enabled. I do not know if this is new feature or not.
If you see an original boot animation during boot that is almost sure sign that your ROM do not support custom boot animations.
ROM with support for custom boot animation, when there is no /system/media/bootanimation.zip present, or if that file have wrong permissions (less then 644) you should see default Android animation. To be sure, check if you have /system/bin/bootanimation and /system/bin/samsungani.
If you do not have them, flash Bootanimation4U. Check first post for link to if you need it.
If you have them, check if you have /system/media/bootanimation.zip. It needs to have at least 644 permission (rw-r--r--).
hhmm this is frustrating.. i'm quite sure i enabled custom bootanimation support on dsixda's kitchen... but ValenteL confirmed that he needed to use bootanim4u to make it work.......... darn......... i'll just remove the custom bootanim support in my OP just to avoid confusion... will also check my files here...
and i'll try this bootanim just to make sure..

That is strange. Those permissions are good!
Bootanimation4U puts bootanimation and samsungani from the archive in /system/bin folder and sets permissions to 755.
What is the content of /system/bin/samsungani?
I also hope that you made a typo and that last file is actually /system/media/bootanimation.zip

Now I am starting to suspect that one of those two files (/system/bin/bootanimation or /system/bin/samsungani) is broken in your ROM, since chabasse confirmed that permissions are good.

This starts to be strange even more.
I suggest you to delete /system/media/bootanimation.zip and to reboot your device.
Do you have default Android animation (Android written in green letters) on boot?
If you do not have it, something is wrong with custom boot animation support.
Nope.. Why.. How..??
yyh it is to nadmaj --->q; did you get it to work

This is a bootup sound unzip and place in system / media/ audio/ ui .
Its just rough cut from the Tornados Telstar written for the first TV transmission by satellite .

Came across a real neat boot animation but it just wouldn't come up.
I changed the name to bootanimation.zip and the stock one to: bootanimationstock.zip
placed it in system/media with system on r\w.
Also checked the config file which says to load file system/media/bootanimation04.zip
Tried renaming the boot animation i wanted to bootanimation04.zip
All i get now is this minimalistic bootanimation where the small letters : ''Android'' are flashing.
I'm on rooted JB 4.2.1
Any suggestions?

This is how I change the boot animation: using Root Browser, I put the bootanimation.zip file inside /data/local.
Not sure about the minimalistic bootanimation you're getting, but that kinda sounds cool! (I like minimalistic designs)

Put it in /data/local and name it bootanimation.zip - it will be preferred to the one in the ROM.

"System\media\" and "data\local\" not working. I tried...
I've tried it. Copied my bootanimation.zip file to that 2 folder. But not working. My phone starts no boot animations. Just blank dark screen. My bootanimation.zip was working few months ago the system was Android 4.4.4 (i think that was 1 year ago). But now that is not working, what will i do ?
My Bootanimation video is here -> My Video
Thanks.
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...

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?
