Stock boot animation for anyone who wants it back. - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Here is the Nexus s boot animation. It will work with any rom or kernel. Has your favorite kernel or rom change your boot animation well just down load this and flash using clockwork and youll have the stock boot animation back. Alternatively you can unpack the zip and copy bootanimation.zip over to the system/media folder on your phone.

I'll never quite understand why, but it's always bothered me having a different boot screen.. Thank you

Isn't there a way to just restore it? I thought I remember reading on here that you can override a kernel boot animation with whatever one the rom came with... be it stock, cm7, etc.

There is and i have just figured it out with upload the file in a minute

Yes the first one is the zip you sent me its 3.5 cfs
The second one does not include your kernal it's just an installer package I created to reinstall the stock bootanimation.zip which I pulled from my nandroid backup. You can read through the update script in the zip and see for yourself

No problem lol. I figured that others may what the same thing. After recieving your zips i realized they did not contain the stock boot animation so i was still stuck with the matriz animation till i reinstalled the stock boot animation which i pulled from my nandroid backup. Then i decided to make an install package for it so it could be used on any phone kernel or rom. if you would like to you can post a link to my second download so others can change if they want.

I think this will be the first custom Kernel to test on my NS

im loving this kernel, but is it possible in future versions to use cm7 built in oc controls instead of setcpu. netarchy kernel is able to use the build in cm7 controls and its nice not having to use an extra app, other than that great work!

I remembered the stupid easy way I was thinking about yesterday. I remembered after reading something that the boot animation is is /system/media. All I did was copy the animation I wanted (in my case the CM7, now using the 3D CM7 one I JUST found) and copied it over the bootanimation.zip that was currently residing in said folder.
Bam, back to stock or whatever boot animation without flashing anything

yes you can do that to. using root explorer. or you can even use adb if you want. the file resides in system/media/bootanimation.zip

EDIT Removed the link for the flashable zip since people are saying it's not working. Again, this is not my work and I simply moved the bootanimation zip using root explorer. It's very simple.
Thank you ill flash it right now

Thanks for posting, but this really isn't anything new. I've seen this boot animation on several ROMs before.

You have to use an app like root explorer or adb because you are replacing protected system files. You wont be able to just copy and paste through windows.

[Q] Boot Animation

Okay, so I have been able to get a bootanimation.zip that i want. I placed it in /data/local... I reboot and it still shows the old swirling Samsung logo...But it does play my custom boot sound (awesome)... I haven't really seen any SGS4G specific threads...and the ones to other phones kind of run me in circles. Not looking for a hand out, just a heading...any idea? Something im PROBABLY missing...
Oh and i gave the bootanimation.zip god privileges...not sure if it matters
Running on 2.3.5 KI3 from Octiane V2.0 (awesome ROM BTW)
at the moment our gingerbread kernels do not support custom boot animations. I'm sure once we have a source to work with, will have full support.

OK first try with this app. I rooted my girls stock gingerbread droidx (if u need help rooting it stock gb droid x u can email me.)then u can download root toolbox and they have a section for boot animation, select one u like and install it. with this app u can even change splash screen and battery icon but for icon u will need pro version. u can just go to ipmart and download it for gree. anyways..... if this does not work u will have to do it manually which may seem scary but its quite simple. first get the bootanimation.zip u want and rename it(if u r with verizon) VZW_bootanimation.zip then download super explorer and then go to ur phones internal system /custom/reasourses and first want to go to that location and copy past the original bootanimation of phone and save to soundcard incase u want to change back to it in system/customize/reasourses and delete ,it will be names VZW_bootanimation.zip. now the custom animation can be added. go copy the custom animation go back to system/customize/reasourses and paste new animation a boom it will work I promise. note if for some reason when u restart phone and no animation is there dont worry nothing is broken the animation isn't allay compatible so just find another on and follow all the steps again minus saving the boot u had added u can just delete it.. now what I desperetly need help with is adding custom sound. I have tried many different thing with no results but negative. ive tried deleting the old sound file and renamwd new sound as old one and placed in system/customize/reasourses no sound , I even went into system/customize/cd/default.xml and changes the writing that tells the system when to play music to autostart="part0" /> no go ,="part1" /> no go. neither worked. I even unzipped the bootanimation.zip and renamed the folder VZW and changed back autostart="VZW" ect which was the original setting and no go. ive tried renaming file and placing it in system/media and pasteing no go, ive tried copying file and pasteing it in system/meadia/notification like some direction have said and no go. im at a lose of what to do. I have a thunderbolt running stock gb and want to customize the sound for bootanimation so if anyone can help please email me [email protected]. thanku and I await ur response

Considering this is for the Samsung galaxy s 4g, you technically are in the wrong forum. Our phones use a qmg file for animations as far.as I know, so bootanimations.zip will not work, I've already tried the method you posted, without success.

there's a few custom ones in the theme section. You just have to push all the files manually.

I will try that. If the qmg file is truly a zip file with its own custom file extension, then it should work, if its not, then it will display nothing. I'll back up just in case, but I was told by a developer on this phone (I believe raver), that it wasn't supported by the kernel.

Rename your wavfile to PowerOn.wav and push to system/etc
Make sure you name it exactly PowerOn.wav, matching the upper case P and O is necessary to make it work.

[Q] Boot Animation & Sound

I am really ready for a different boot animation and sound (or silence). I searched and found a few resources in other forums like THIS but don't know if any Android animation or maybe any Samsung Android animation will work on the Charge.
I am running ep4d rooted, deodexed, stock kernel.......any advice?
Thanks in advance
I have used rom toolbox from the market that has a ton of boot animations. I also found this.

Could you use root explorer to add an .oog audio file in the sub folder and name it something?Or go into system/bin. Open the boot animation file with the correct program and ad a line to lead to the audio file? I know really in depth but an idea. Might also have to link to framework which is to much trouble for me atleast as I dont have that kind of brains.
I just tried rom toolbox and it hasn't changed anything. I can change font but bootanimations haven't changed

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.

Faux Kernel supports custom bootanimation, which means if you go and download a bootanimation from somewhere, rename it sanim.zip, and put it in system/media then your skyrocket will boot with that animation.
Will this kernel support changing boot animation?

You can change the bootanimation if you have flashed mohan or romracers ics kernel.
And my kernel info says the same(im on romracer) but romracers kernel is basically stock with a few tweaks so make sure you flash kernel before trying
