Hi - newbie UOT Kitchen cook here. I tried to bake a replacement boot animation (to go along with the tiny battery icon I made when is in the themes forum), but I don't think I selected boot animation location correctly. Suggestions, please? Thanks.
The stock kernel has /system/bin/bootanimation disabled, instead using samsungani. You would need to re-pack the kernel initramfs to use bootanimation -
However, the bootanimation binary on AT&T Skyrocket does not stop the animation after the boot completes, looping forever instead. This is on my to-do list to fix.
Also, the bootanimation binary was modified by samsung - it looks in /system/media/sanim.zip rather than /system/media/bootanimation.zip
Yipes - OK, think I'll stay away from this mod then for the time being. Thanks!
Yeah, I'd really like to get rid of the Rogers animations too. The shutdown one was easy (it's in /system/media/video/shutdown/), but the startup animation is a little more challenging.

There are a lot out there for other phones, but not one for the Evo, I was really wanting to make a custom boot animation for myself, I got all the way to having all the images ready to be made into an animation.
EDIT: I should also mention that what I mean by tutorial is how to build the custom animation itself, not flash it or replace it.

You have to be good with a program like adobe after effects. A program that can render out a PNG sequence. Once you render it out, it just a matter of zipping it up with the correct file and pushing it to your phone.
I got all that down, what about like how the bootanimation.zip set up? All the animations I've looked at have a document in it that I have no idea how to set up.
I installed Boot Animation Changer and i have checked the other 4 posts. But i un-installed it and went back to changing the boot animation manually. Except the /system/media/bootanimation.zip is not been used upon booting. i think the program has told the phone to look elsewhere for the animation file and i cannot find where the phone is looking for the animation file. Any help will be great.
LOCATIONS OF SOUNDS AND ANIMATIONS [WIP]
From what I have found, this is the best list I have...
.qmg(animations) .Wav (MP3)
Before you start make sure that you have root obviously
Using root explorer and making sure that write protect off
Add .bak to the end of file to keep it from running...
You can use any Mp3 just change the file name from .mp3 to .wav on the phone
Boot sound;
/system/etc/PowerOn.wav
Boot up animation;
/system/media/bootsamsung.qmg
/system/media/bootsamsungloop.qmg
/system/bin/samsungani
Charging animations(power off);
/system/media/battery_charging_XXX.qmg
Shutdown sound;
/system/media/audio/ui/shutdown.ogg
Shutdown video (directory of .qmg);
/system/media/shutdown/
"The binary file for stock boot animations is /system/bin/samsungani as an FYI"

Thank you-Imoseyon! [EP1Q] GB Kernel W/Custom boot animation support! http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php...on-kernel-(leaked-stock-repacked-v0.22-9-4-11)
and everyone else that helped me compile this list
I hope this is a help anyone that needs to find these, and if there are changes to be made just post, and I will edit to correct.
You can delete the shutdown.qmg file and replace it with a png sequence and it will still play properly, for anyone interested.
.qmg files and limited suport for this new tech
Hello,
I have really been reading for 3 days and there is not much on this topic.
What I understand is that the .qmg files can be replaced on the Froyo versions if the Kernel supports it with png's but not GBE's. I have been successful in changing the the boot animations (only) .qmg's with .qmg's. These files are very limited in my searches and found some posted here.
http://www.nubecoder.com/files/android/SPH-D700/bootani-qmg/
png's (bootanimation.zip) will not work in the GB? Am I correct, because there is not yet a kernel to support the GBE's? Can anyone clarify or am I really messed up in my thinking.
TY

Imoseyon has a GBE Kernel which supports Bootanimation changes.
I tried custom boot animations on GB and the system never kills the process, so the boot animation keeps going unless you manually kill it via adb. That's the only reason I didn't include it in my repacked kernel.
Imoseyon Kernel v.22
Says it supports custom boot animation check it out!
Read OP on Imoseyon's OP for instructions
http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php...on-kernel-(leaked-stock-repacked-v0.22-9-4-11)
Ok so I have the pbj boot ani that imnuts posted over in the fascinate area and I got a different pbj boot up sound that is 17 secs long. The boot ani works fine but it cuts off the sound early. Is that because the Gummy 2.0 imoseyon kernel boots up the phone faster than normal?

I didn't say that custom boot animations didn't work, I said it never goes away. Maybe he did something different, I don't know, but I tried 3-4 different things to get the boot animation working properly in EP1Q, and it never worked right if it wasn't the stock boot animation.
bootanimation.zip
What I have found is that this does work if the file is renamed sanim.zip and the kernel supports it. These files contain .png's not .qmg
However I have not been able to get the orginal droid charge animation to work because it is in the .qmg format. I am on the EP1W voodoo kernel.

Turn off animations / sound?
I'm a bit of an "old school" linux guy - and like seeing my device boot messages as the device loads.
Is there a way you can turn off the animations and sound, and just get the boot messages?
I wonder how can i convert .png to .qmg
or just make it works because i want to change my charging animation
Hi , currently on cm6 Mioze's rom and flashed dark froyo theme , I wonder if it safe if I change this boot animation ? Also what about this (post 124) ? So I just drop the file to replace the old boot animation by using root explorer ? Or I should boot to open recovery and get to somewhere to flash it ? Very much thanks !
Easiest (and lowest possibility to mess things up) way I have found to swap out boot animations is to drop the new one in /data/local and set your permissions correctly and leave your current one where it is. That way you don't have to pull out your pre-existing boot animation and it will stay preserved.
Current would be /system/media/bootanimation.zip
New one that you want to see work would be
/data/local/bootanimation.zip
ps- thanks for the link to those. They look pretty sweet and I will download a few myself.
Edit:::I can't get any of those boot animations to download. It wants me to sign up for file sharing site, Minus. If you can get them can you re-upload them.
Edit2:::thanks to eSu.matix. for reuploading them for me.

Thanks for your reply !! And sorry for my late reply ... do you mean I just have to drop the new boot animation to /data/local/bootanimation.zip ? Instead of replacing the current one ? Then which boot animation will it boot , won't the phone mess up since there is 2 boot animation ? Btw , which boot animation did you choosed ? Does it works ? Thanks very much !
Yep just drop you new boot animation into /data/local and don't forget to set your permissions. The one in /data/local will take precedence over /system/media. Don't like your new one? Just delete it and your original will be the default like nothing ever happened.
I do it all the time. Sometimes I do it to my wife's phone just to mess with her.
Don't forget to set your permissions or it won't work.
thank you very much .
Welcome!This is a separate thread from the homescreen & wallpaper one.
Here you can share boot animations and splash screens and only that!
If you show, please try to share it! Either in a flashable zip, system file (replaceable file in system), or APK (like LiveBoot)
Also, try to state the dimensions of your file if it was not originally meant for/sized to the S7/E
Try to avoid requesting custom animations, but I understand there are wishes.
PLEASE
-Give credit to the creator
-Do not be rude when someone asks how to use your method of installing your animation - if anything PM me with a tutorial and a link to your file/s and I'll add it to this main post.
This will eventually be made into a Boot Animation Central Thread - a place you can find boot animations for your S7/E - So PM me if you want anything added here!:good:
Need Original Boot QMGs
I tried making my own boot animation (failed horribly, btw), and now I am stuck with this crappy animation and I kinda need the original animation files (from /system/media, bootsamsung.qmg, bootsamsungloop.qmg, shutdown.qmg). I kinda said 'crap' in my head as soon as I had overwritten those files. Anyone mind sending me them? And maybe adding them to this post here?
--Addition
I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge on the SM-G935U firmware.
--Addition
I made another one, anyways. Looks a lot nicer than the one I had before.
