Hey people,
I had the transformers bootanimation installed in my unrooted transformer using the adb push to data/local. I wish to remove the same and revert back to the default.
I tried deleting the bootanimation in the data/local, but even now, the transformers bootanimation still comes up.
On reading the various related posts in the forum, I was led to believe that just the deletion of the bootanimation in the data/local folder should cause a reversal to the default boot animation.
Also, upon checking if the bootanimation.zip in the system folder, I saw that it contained the default bootanimation only.
Could anyone direct me towards how do I go about correctly reverting the bootanimation to the default?
Thanks.
Yes deleting the bootanimation.zip from data/local should revert to the bootanimation.zip in system/media. Maybe you have the same bootanimation in system/media?

Sorry, but the bootanimation in system/media is the original ASUS one... I even copied and pasted that one to data/local, but no luck..
what method did you use to delete the file from data/local?
obviously since you're not rooted you must beusing adb correct?
what's the command you're using?

I actually used the inbuilt file manager and deleted using that..
Ohh. So do I have to remove the file using adb too? If thats the case, could you tell me the command please?
Thanks
I didn't realized you could access rootfolder without root.
Anyway try
Code:
adb shell rm -r /data/local/bootanimation.zip

Thanks,.. that worked...
Actually, you are right.. Before, when I did not get where data/local was present, i had created a folder with the same name in the storage. I had put the .zip file in that. After that, I did the adb push method to actually get the boot animation to work. And i forgot abt that.

Hope this isn't against protocol. I posted this in the "HOWTO" thread, but in the event there are people that don't venture into that area...I think it looks pretty nice and it's customized for the Evo.
Here's what I'm using...
I had to cut it down significantly from my original plan because of the boot speed...but this lines up pretty perfect on my Evo. Here are the links if anyone wants to download themselves:

Pretty sure you have to be ROOTED for this to work (I am).
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource
adb push SPC_animation.mp3 /system/customize/resource
adb shell reboot

Good Morning, This was pretty cool so I thought i would do it. Just one thing to add about your adb instructions. Pushing the mp3 is missing "_final".
It should read
adb push SPC_animation_final.mp3 /system/customize/resource
Again thanks
Can this be installed without adb? And if so how please?
I love it so cool. Can the sound be taken out as well tho?

I don't believe it can be done without adb. Unless you found a way to navigate to /system folder.
and by not pushing the sound file(.mp3) the sound will be taken out.
I love this nice job!
you can use root explorer if you like..
Besides the fact that it says Droid I like it..it may be my ROM but I had to change the sound file to android_audio.mp3 to get it to play.

Hmmm that is weird...The actual mp3 was just edited from an incredible boot up when the file WAS named android_audio.mp3. Glad that you got it figured out, though.
please help
i dont know what im doing wrong but every time i try to push the bootanimation.zip i get
cannot stat 'bootanimation.zip' :no such file or directory
and i have both the bootanimation.zip and the mp3 file in my tools folder and help would be greatly appreciated thanks in advanced

Terminal Emulator app in the market will do this.
su
cat /sdcard/download/bootanimation.zip > /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
Tried that using beterterminal and I get an access denied error read only???
From adb I get cannot stat no such such file or directory "bootanimation.zip"

I have never used beter terminal. Try the terminal emulator from jack palevich. It is in the market place for free.
Denied access, read only in the emulator sounds like you didnt put in 'su' first. Once you enter type su in the prompt should change to #
your adb error sounds like you need to either mount the sdcard or change it to charge only.
I put the files in there but the damn SPRINT animation which I hate with a passion keeps playing. I can adb shell into my phone and see the files in /system/customize/resource but it doesn't pick it up automatically. Is there anything else I need to do to get rid of the SPRINT one?
I am rooted using the 2 root safe versions of the OTA updates, but otherwise stock build. I have also tried using the boot animation replace utility someone else on here developed ... it says it worked as well ... but then the stupid sprint one plays. Any ideas? I have a bunch of stuff in my resource folder I also have these files in my customize folder:
AAInfo.txt
COMMON.xml
cid_map.xml
resource
1_00_sample.xml
CID
mccmnc.xml
MNS
default.xml
mns_map.xml
I didn't know if maybe one of these tells it to point at the sprint boot instead of the custom one I put in... ?
what would be cool is if at the end when it says droid the word evo falls from the top and crushes the droid word. lol just a suggestion.
**EDIT** Problem resolved.
By the way I got mine to work, I had to boot into recovery and adb mount /system in order to get it working...
My favorite is the decepticon one but it is too small and I couldnt get it to work after resizing the png's and modifying the text...

It would be better without the Droid part! Can you do one?
**EDIT**
Never mind, i just deleted the EYE folder and edited the .txt, but now i have one question,where is the original botanimation.zip located? i push yours to /system/customize/resource using root explorer (since i hate adb shell) and it didn't ask for overwrite so...it wasn't there.
This has potential to ber the best boot animation around but I don't like how it says droid. That's the only thing keeping me from switching right now.

Hey guys. I know this is about and around, but we got the sound working on boot (the "DROID" noise). So here's how you do it:
1. download both files below
2. UNZIP the "android_audio.zip" file, put the audio file in your sdk/tools folder
3. leave the "bootanimation.zip" file zipped, put in your sdk/tools folder
4. go into adb and push both files as follows:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
adb push android_audio.mp3 /data/local
adb reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This should work; if anyone has problems let me know.
ENJOY!
***UPDATE***
If you're still having issues with the sound not working, first make sure that you are unzipping the "android_audio" file...then pushing the .mp3 contained within the zip file.
Second, if it still doesn't work, try this in adb:
cd data
cd local
rm android_audio.mp3
rm bootanimation.zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
then repush the two files!
works like a charm!!
is this supposed to replace the vzw animation? i followed and i dont see anything different. under my data folder in astro nothign is there just data dir and thats it no local
Worked like a charm for me... thanks...
both files successfully push. the animation works but no audio plays. any suggestions?
very nice love it
nice work, thank you
Thanks looks really good.

parkson, rinse, wash repeat, your doing something wrong, do it from inside adb on computer
When I do:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
adb push android_audio.mp3 /data/local
I get:
/sbin/sh: adb: not found
Now what?
*EDIT*
I figured it out. Was trying to do this in Clockwork Mod recovery. Had to change to disk drive mode while the phone is running.
do we just need to delete these files to go back?

Will this sound work on the DINC? I have the boot animation but have not installed the sound yet.
yup it works thanks.
I keep getting adb: not found
EDIT:
Fixed it from irc, thanks guys.
Just did
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
without the adb shell
i kept getting permission denied doing it through adb, but doing it in root explorer worked perfect, audio and boot animation are great
Does any one have the sound working?
will this work on the incredible?

I have the animation working just not the audio on the Inc, any help?
A mod that you apply to a flashed rom then the boot animation runs from /data/local and can be replaced manually or using boot animation changer.
Flash after any Sense rom that normally has bootanimation in /system/customize/resource
It will delete the 2 files in /system/customize/resource
Flash my own custom bootanimation.zip & android_audio.mp3 to /data/local/ (Only to make sure it works)
create the required symlinks that survive reboot's.
You can then just replace the files in /data/local/ as needed.
Thanks to lambrospower for the idea
[edit]
BootAnim_Restore added, restores the default htc bootanimation.zip & android_audio.mp3 to /system/customize/resource
i am greatly thank you for all the support you gave me...very nice MOD although i integrated it into my rom...very good for all the others that do not bake their roms!!!!
there is a slight renaming typo....bootA[m]i[N]_to_Data
This works on Official froyo/sense ROM but I have one question. How can I edit the path in the ZIP file to \data\local\ when I change the boot animation in your ZIP file. The reason is because I have tried various bootanimation.zip file but none seem to change from yours and boot animation lite doesnt have the one I want.
It's already /data/local,
Just use ADB or a file manager and replace the one this zip install's in /data/local/

I know the file path is already there but when I replace the bootanimation it also deletes the path. It doesnt keep it.
I am looking to avoid ADB as I dont understand it and when I view the SD card I can see a folder called data but there is no local folder.
These do not go on the SDcard, but on internal memory.
You can replace the zip file inside the zip I attached then flash it turning signature check off.
Will disabling signature check put the bootanimation.zip in the correct place?
As I said, i tried simply changing the bootanimation.zip in the archive but when I do that it deletes the path that the file has to go to ie, \data\local\.
Thank you so much for this!
I can finally have a good bootanim.

try after updating the zip not to change its mode....keep it to store...do not use any compression...it might be this the problem
Finally sussed out how to replace the bootanimation.zip file and retain the correct path. All good now.
Thanks Klutsh for a usefull little tool.
Brilliant!
Thnx!
BootAnim_Restore added to the first post, restores the default htc bootanimation.zip & android_audio.mp3 to /system/customize/resource
How did you end up managing to do it as I too can't find a local folder in my data folder...
when i ran the bootamin_to_data zip my phone changed boot animation to a gentleman with text saying DeLite (or similar) but still I couldn't find a local folder in my data folder, nor could i find wher this delite image was stored, so i ran the restore.zip and am now back to where I started...
After the change files are stored in /data/local/
Now this is brilliant!!
Ever since the Froyo came out for the desire it's been very hard to put custom bootanimations to the desire. NOT ANYMORE!!!!
Thanx a bunch mate!
ok, can someone tell me where to push the Bootanimation files to?
Presumably if they're on the phone i cannot navigate to the file using a pc & USB?
Should i use ADB in which case, can you tell me the script for the ADB command
Or should i transfer to the SD and use rootexplorer / astro to move it to the data/local file?
OK Sorted it, i just put bootanimation.zip in Android/tools, then use ADB command
C:\androidSDK\tools>adb push bootanimatino.zip data/local
Found this over on the DHD forums. Put in /system/customize/resource with either Root Explorer or adb push. Make sure you set the directory to read/write mode and backup the existing one if you want to put it back
can i have it on Live Wallpaper
I do not have a bootanimation.zip file in that directory. I have a couple other *animation.zip files though. I'm running Android Revolution ROM (Sense UI).
Any ideas?
I have downanimation.zip and shutdown.zip
What gives?
It just means that that rom doesn't have a bootanimation.zip.

Try putting it in /data/local. That's where mine is and works fine.
I've done a few boot animations this way.. put the bootanimation.zip on the root of your SD card, and go into Terminal Emulator (you can download one from the Market for free) and type the following, hitting enter after each line:
su
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local/
reboot
note that when you hit enter after the 2nd line, it may take a few secons before you get the # sign again. once you see it, type reboot and enter. and you're all set!
Thats freaky!! Awesome, but freaky!

In stock ROMs, the bootanimation will be located in /system/customize/resource. Other ROMs, including Revolution, you will find it in /data/local.
The animations you're seeing in the resource folder is the shutdown animation
Has anyone tried changing the bootanimation yet like the Vibrant? If you did; did you use the same steps as the Vibrant?
I've already changed my boot sound and shutdown sound using SGS Tools 4.1.9
Yep I removed the bootdown animations just like the directions were for the vibrant.
Also replaced the QMG file for startup with the i9000 qmg file.

I changed the /system/media/video/shutdown folder to /system/media/video/shutdownbackup.
Basically it just shows the "Powering Down" with the wheel spinning now. You can do a custom powering down screen if you put a sequence of PNG's like there is in the shutdown folder currently.
In regards to the boot up animation, I basically accessed /system/media to move the existing bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg to my SD card.
Then downloaded the default i9000 qmg files from: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...t-software-not-suck/page__p__36615#entry36615
you probably will get an error when you try to move the bootsamsung.qmg and loop qmg file but it still moves them to the SD card.
I also found that you have to specify the device name via adb devices, when you try to do a mount of the system for read write access.
If you get errors trying to move the original animation files from the media folder to the SD you can always just do a rm too. It will remove them completely. Honestly I don't plan on putting them back.
Commands to run from adb:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount [devicenamehere] /system
busybox mv /system/media/bootsamsung.qmg /sdcard/backupanimations
busybox mv /system/media/bootsamsungloop.qmg /sdcard/backupanimations
