::boot animations::shut down animations::tutorials for both::

With permission from the very gifted grafix man TonicAcid from the vibrant Forum. Here are some already made Boot/Shutdown animations.
Plus a tutorial to help create your own

Understand that these files are set up to be flashed with CWM which we do not have. They have to be Non- flashable and moved using Root Explorer or similar app.
I am awaiting a reply from TonicAcid that will tell me what needs to be removed from CWM version to make them work right for us.
(Edit) confirmed: we can pull the bootanimation file from the flashable files and push them with root explorer or something that does the samething.
If you create any Non-Flashable Boots post them for others if you like:

Awesome, I found quite a few I like here

try and check the droid forums, someone may have posted the dump for device which may include the bootup animations.

so all you have to do is just rename it to bootanimation.zip and push it to system/data?

Yep that's all you gotta do. Make sure you delete the samsungboot and the samsungbootloop files in /system/media

Hmmmmm... i'm having issues here.
I had these running with 2.1uv kernel, but now with 3.1uv they don't want to take.

3.1uv kernel
removed the boot and bootloop samsung files, copied the bootanimation.zip to /system/media and i get no animation at all....
used to work when i was running 2.1uv. the original galaxy s animations work fine, but not bootanimation.zip...
any advice?

I use an app called bootanimation utility and it works fine.
You can import your own, or choose from some downloads. I currently have a cm7 one.

then you're pushing it to the wrong place. you place bootanimation.zip to system/media. shutdown sound goes in system/media/audo/ui. shutdown folder goes in system/media/video.

I've already did that sir. But still it is blank screen for my bootanimation. What else I can do?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App

hmm....so....
you downloaded an animation from this link, right?:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1053250
when you download the file, it comes in a zip file. open the zip file and you should notice a system folder. open that system folder and open the media folder within it. you should see a bootanimation.zip. that file is the one you are copying to system/media on your phone, right?
i know some people simply download the file and rename it to bootanimation.zip. they are actually renaming the cwm flashable file and not pushing the correct zip. you do not have to rename anything during this process. i would say to try and flash it, but for some reason, it never works for me, but you are more than welcome to try and flash it yourself. the above method is just in case that doesnt work.

Left Vibrant, New to G2X

He all! I just my G2X today and was wondering. Is it worth rooting yet with no cusom roms available? And if so, can someone point me in the right direction to accomplish this?
I came from the Vibrant and dont know where to start.
Any help, input and direction is greatly appreciated.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

Welcome to the club I was also a Vibrant owner before this.. So here is some quick info that may help save you some time searching.
If you plan on keeping the phone I would root it to get rid of unwanted apps but that is each users own opinion. If you do want to root it I would read this thread to make it easy. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039985
Also if you want to add ClockworkMod Recovery all you need to do is get the newest version of rom manager off the market and select flash ClockworkMod Recovery and the G2X will be the third device down.
After that set back and wait for the custom roms to show up and you will be ready to have all kinds of fun
Hope that helps *some*

uhm. I thought clockwork wasn't ready for us thru rom manager yet?
has it been updated?

So that means that we can create a Nandroid Backup? or the mounted internal memory as sd card will be a problem?

I knew to just wait and it would be a easier way to get clockwork recovery on my g2x using one click root v1.7 because the latest version 1.8 didn't work.plus I heard cyanogen mod 7 is only a couple weeks away

Nevermind....found it

Well I just double checked and it still does not detect internal sd card.. Wanted to post this as soon as double checked as I was using my external. let me look through it more and I will keep you updated

Thanks for the friendly welcome and replies. Im gonna check out that link.

i downloaded all requested files. when i plug in my phone it starts to read it correctly but then i get a window saying it did not install properly. i clicked root anyway and it wont get past "waiting for phone". did i do something wrong?

[BOOTANIMATION] DukeOS Bootanimation (Duke Nukem Forever)

Hey guys...
Thanks to despotovski01's thread "How to make your own bootanimation" and a little magic (thanks to the pre-release demo of Duke Nukem Forever), I was able to create something awesome... the DukeOS Bootanimation
I may borrow despotovski01's instructions (sorry pal)...
Root Explorer method:
1. Rename your boot animation to bootanimation.zip
2. Put it on your SD card
3. Open Root Explorer and copy bootanimation.zip to /system/media. This will replace the existing boot animation
4. Reboot your phone
ADB method:
1. Make sure you have downloaded android sdk
2. Put android sdk in C:\
3. Set the directory of command prompt to C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools. Click here for a video tutorial.
4. Rename your boot animation to bootanimation and put it in C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
5. Open cmd
6. Type in order:
-adb remount
-adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
-adb reboot
it is available in both lo-res (takes less space and loads way faster)
and hi res versions (seems to load faster? )
lo-res: http://www.multiupload.com/860L1GJE31
hi-res: http://www.multiupload.com/D9ON73WTG4
http://www.stilbruch.at/2011/06/bootanimation-dukeos-bootanimation-duke.html
preview:
I hope my dear friends from Gearbox software aren't mad at me for that... It is just another promotion for the awesome upcoming Duke Nukem Forever (10th July 2011 International, 14th July 2011 US)!
I don't own any of the rights on the graphics!
BTW: I think it would perfectly fit honeycomb

good bootani....thanks!!

This works good. Thank you.

I get a faster reboot when I use the hi-res boot animation. I like this.

You are using stock rom, have u root your Tab? If not, you will never have the chance to use this wonderful boot animation.
If u want to root, use Chainfire CF root which support the bootimation inside the /data/local/ this saveu more space in /system.

I suppose you could try changing the boot animation.zip to bootani.qmg, but I'd either change the old bootani.qmg file name to oldbootani.qmg or backup elsewhere in case it doesn't work.
Use root explorer to copy it to the place you need (it allows you to change permissions from R/O to R/W).
Easy...

Hmmm... I'm afraid to try it and get into a boot loop. CWM isn't playing nice and for some reason doesn't want to backup my current rom.
I also dont have a working comp to odin fix it if it does screw things up.
Dang it. I really want this bootup too!
Any other ideas guys? I this is my phone and tab all in one

Just drop the zip file into the media folder. Make sure the permissions match and I'm 90% sure the rom will just use it instead. At worst you be no better off if you follow but I'm sure it will work. Absolute system tools has a feature that does it all for you and has 100s of animations.
Sent from my GT-P1000

Just tried the absolute app. It's very cool but doesn't even see where the bootani is either.
Anyone know what the qmg file format is?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

The high res seems to work on and off on my CM7 nightlies Evo4G. But the low res works without a problem. Both seemed to load about the same speed without any hesitations (when the high res would load). Nice work though, thanks for the work! I even like the fact it loads in landscape instead of portrait!

[Bootanimation][CWM] BIOS - Tested on Octane-V3.0 XPLOD and Valhalla FINAL

Friends -
I take no credit for this. I found this boot animation in some other XDA forum and tested this with this Raver's ROM.
It runs smooth.
This is CWM flashable. Remember to take backup of your existing bootanimation.zip from /system/media location.
A BIG thank you to Raver and Krylon/ Honk for this ROM and Kernel.
***** I have tested this on Valhalla Final ROM as well. ******

Lolllll I found that last night too
And yes, its super nice, nice find and post man!

Step 1: Using root explorer or similar app, go to /system/media
Step 2: Copy the existing bootanimation.zip file to /sdcard
Step 3: download the file in OP to your /sdcard
Step 4: reboot to recovery
Step 5: Install zip from sdcard and flash it
Step 6: reboot
Step 7 (optional): If you didnt like this new bootanimation and want the old bootanimation (pink unicorn) back ...using rootexplorer copy the bootanimation.zip (from Step2) to /system/media

I make a habit to clear it every time I flash something new. After you flash, you can wipe it in the Advanced menu in CWM. When your phone reboots, be sure to not touch ANYTHING and let it sit for 10-15 minutes to let it rebuild. If you don't, your phone will lag.
If you didn't give sufficient time for your phone to rebuild the dalvik cache, you can always go into the Advanced menu in CWM and wipe it again. You'll just have to wait the 10-15 minutes again.

You need to have Zedomax Epic Touch Kernel installed or any other kernel that supports it. See this thread
If you know how to use ADB, you can simply enable your Android filesystem as read/write and copy the file over OR if you are not so inclined or simply want a faster/easier way, you can download ES3 from the Play store
find a bootanimation.zip with 800x480 resolution. Download the bootanimation.zip file and copy over to your Epic 4G Touch's internal storage disk drive.
Using Root explorer, find the file bootanimation.zip file you just copied over and select "Copy".
Then browse to the /system/media directory, enable r/w then paste.
Reboot your phone and enjoy your new boot animation.
This will only change the boot animation after the Samsung boot screen.

It works perfectly on nexus 4
