If you have to ask, I'm not exactly sure you should try flashing it. But what it does is enables you to use custom boot screens.

If you look at the directions the Krylon posted. they tell you where to delete the old power on sounds. I would imagine that you could copy a new sound file in that directory.

Did you get (Custom) boot sound?
If things are screwed up you can always just re-flash with Odin

Its strange, I can see that the old bootsound was in wav format. However, the shutdown is in another location and it is .ogg format.
I believe that maybe the bootanimation.zip needs to contain the audio for it or at least need to somehow be linked.
Krylon know I bet?

he mapped it to a directory or change the name of the file that the kernel reads.

Sir krylon
Glad to be able to see someone who enjoys messing with electronics as much as we do!!!! Keep up the great work and as always looking forward to a GRRRREAT ROM

Will this update only the kernel? Or is it going to wipe all my phone's data (apps, settings, etc)?

Just update that kernel ;0)

Well
good work krylon
questions
/system/media NO Samsungboot.qmg
+ where can i find bootanimation.zip ?

Got a question, can we use this in conjunction with the new KC1 rom? can I just flash using odin and allow boot animations again?

[Q] Boot animation problem

Running Android Revolution HD 5.1.6 by mike1986​So I downloaded the Call of Android boot animation using the Absolute System app. I copy/pasted into the /system/media/ where it should be using Root Explorer (File Manager) app. So after I pasted it in there, I rebooted and it didn't work.​My question: Is this boot animation compatible with my phone? If it's not, oh well. If it is, did I do something wrong or is there something I didn't do?
Thanks in advance.

Check the android revolution thread and see what it says about boot animation. Make sure that's where its supposed to be for that rom. Also did you rename it to whatever its supposed to be named for that rom. I'm not sure if its bootanimation.whatever but look into that too (rename it to whatever the name of the file was you replaced).

You can replace HTC boot animation with any custom boot animation. Just replace bootanimation.zip in data/local

My bootanimation.zip file needs to be located in system/customize/resource for the ROM in my sig. Dig around for where the file is supposed to be located for your ROM.
Edit: Also what the file name needs to be.

Well mine is in system/media/ and it's bootanimation.zip. I even tried installing it in clockwork recovery.

Just copy the file there using a file manager and re-boot. I don't think you need to flash a boot splash. That's all I do in my ROM. Just make sure the file is named correctly.

Well I put it in there, reboot and after it shows HTC, it goes black until sense loads

[Q] Changing boot animation screen on BAMF Forever 1.0.6

I want this..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010748&highlight=Bios+animation
Where is my boot animation located on my SD card?
Help appreciated!

It is under /system/media/bootanimation.zip
You won't find it on your SDcard. You'll need an app like Root Explorer to access the file system.
You could also use ADB to push the files there if you're familiar with ADB.

dont have that.. i replace the ones in Bamf_Extras.. but it didnt work

Are you familiar with ADB?

honestly, no. I one click rooted. what can I do?

can i push using clockwork recovery?

I believe there is a free alternative to Root Explorer in Super Manager. It contains File Explorer (Root). It may allow you to copy the bootanimation.zip and mp3 file into the directory. I also am unsure if it will let you set the correct permissions on the files once they are copied. It may be something you can try.
---------- Post added at 06:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:32 PM ----------
I went ahead and installed Super Manager. It will allow you to do what you need. You'll find the permissions button on the bottom menu bar if you scroll to the right.

You dont need any apps to do it for you, the bootanimation is in system/customize/resource folder you name it the name as the one in the folder and copy over it. Most if not all the developers name it bootanimation.zip the default Verizon is named VZW_bootanimation.zip I have helped people add sound to their boot animations as well this can be edited in the system/customize/CID folder in the file default. Must be edited with notepad++ or wordpad++ its one of those look near the bottom of the file for boot animation. I have become quite good at doing this by breaking it and fixing it. Things like this need to be learned the hard way.

The correct file path is for BAMF Forever 1.0.6 is system/media/bootanimation.zip
There is also an audio file that you can replace in the same location.

I edited my CID file so it where I want it to be. I am used to default setting. Also you can copy over audio but you still need to change desc file and CID so it starts with correct animation. Should I roll my eyes back? Plus I never even said anything about BAMF forever....

I assumed you were attempting to address the original posters questions about changing his boot animation on BAMF Forever 1.0.6. I didn't understand that you were merely randomly posting about how you like to edit this and that. You can roll your eyes back now!

Sorry, guess i should have mentioned how to install.
Just copy the above boot file to the following location: NEEDS ROOT

If you have a bootanimation.zip file there I would recommend renaming it to something else, then pasting the above file to that folder, reboot and watch the Apple logo get the golden showers

Thanks!!!

I assume this is HDPI only right? I know a friend that has an Android phone, I don't know if he rooted it, but if he did, I'll recommend him this.

If your using a file manager app like astro file manager of root explorer. Open that and scroll down past the SDcard folder and below that you should see the folder "System". Select that then scroll down to Media. Select that and paste the boot animation to that folder.

I have never personally tried to make a boot animation myself. You can do a google search "how to create android bootanimation" that should give you some sites that can give you insight on how to create your own bootnaimation file. The 3D android urinating a friend sent me that one and I dont know if he made or found it.

If you are using Root Explorer did you select the "Mounted as r/w, r/o"?
You might have to select the grey box up top that says mount r/w and press it until it says Mount R/O, then it will let you paste. Try that and see if that helps.

Or even better, use File Expert

If your phone is rooted "Root explorer" is the best file manager app I have ever used. It has a text editor/viewer(for xmls and build.prop) and it organizes files you zip or unzip nicely into folders. It isnt free though. Oh and most importantly it allows you to change permissions when dealing with system apps/files like the bootanimation.zip in system/media.
Edit** thought it over & I dont remember if you have to change permissions for bootanimation, but I did.

And if me no likey other than restore a Nandroid is there any way to return the boring stock ATT boot?

Thanks for replying. My current bootanimation.zip is in system/media & so is att_pu.ogg. So the OGG doesn't replace the current one in system/media?
So if I wanted to go back I'd reflash my current bootanimation.zip? Replacing the modified bootanimation.ogg with the original att_pu.ogg?
Or do I need both bootanimation.ogg and the original att_pu.ogg?

Leave the original .ogg and jusr replace the bootanimation.zip the animation is dependent on the one you flash so whnever you decide to go bck to stock you will still have the orignal melody...

Ok so I can rename the original to att_bootanimation.zip just to keep it handy & add bootanimation.zip to system/media to flash from?
Leave att_pu.ogg where it is now? Put bootanimation.ogg to the root of my SD Card not in system/media?
Make a Nandroid. Using BMM flash bootanimation.zip? Reboot & I'm done?
But I need the ATT bootanimation.zip not the one available currently linked?
Thanks.

To install (for those who are not familiar with the process):
1. copy bootanimation_moto_pulse.zip file to SD card
2. using Root Explorer (or the like) copy from SD card and paste to /system/media (make sure you mount r/w)
3. delete the current bootanimation.zip (make sure to save a copy on your SD card first, if you haven't already)
4. rename bootanimation_moto_pulse.zip to bootanimation.zip
5. mount r/o, exit Root Explorer, reboot, and watch the moto logo throb

Rename it to "droidhd.ogg" without the quotes, of course. Then make sure it is located at /system/media with the bootanimation.zip. Set the permissions to both to rw-r--r-- make sure the owner reads:
Owner 0-root
Group 0-root
Then reboot. It's really quiet, in my opinion. I'm considering boosting the volume of the .ogg if anyone would be interested in that, let me know.
If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.
