Hello,
Is there any direction's someone could give me such as a link explaining how to change the startup animation screen rather then the default startup samsun screen.
Thank you,
First off are you rooted?

Using an app like root explorer,
Go into system/media then copy and paste your current bootanimation.zip somewhere else as a backup.
Then after turning on read/write delete it and replace it with the bootanimation.zip of your choice. (tip) Sometimes you need to name it sanim.zip instead of bootanimation.zip and
Reboot.
[Now back to my lab to try and make a custom boot animation...mwahahahaha.]

Boot animation
Thanks ever so much for your replies:
/System/Media - Attempted those steps and none worked. In that folder there are Qmg files within this folder.
Any other suggestions? As for turning on read write im certain that its turned on as I"m using Root Explorer.
Sorry for the late reply. The splash screen is, the first image that shows then comes the boot animation.
Idk how to change the infuses splash but I kno on the att sgs2 we got to flash a custom image with Odin then run a .bat. This of start the sgs2 has do.
I did at one time try an app that did this, but it messed up one of my files and did a boot loop
.
Sent from my i777 high in the sky
you need a kernel that supports bootanimation.zip. the infusion kernel does but its named sanim.zip instead. if you are on froyo then get the defuse or community kernel infusion froyo for overclock...
on gingerbread you are looking for the entropy DD or hellraiser or infusion gb.
the stock kernel plays a .qmg file which is proprietary and can only be replaced with files from galaxy s phones. if all you want to do is get rid of the att branding then you can take the Samsungboot.qmg or whatever from a galaxy s i9000 rom.
boom.

its not nearly as easy as changing out a zip...you have to edit a database file and push it back onto a read-only partition...
buuuuuut thats only half of it as the splash screen is actually two images back to back
the other image is in the kernel and i have no idea how to f*cks with that
Then why doesn't someone hack it? Or try it...don't talk about it....today I will release Zeus with facial recognition, I didn't say when the hardware was released "idk if infuse can run this or not"....I just grabbed the files and got my dev on....I'm sure the splash screen can be changed....tho I've never tried...I'm sure it can...just grab the files you need and test test test....don't wonder...do it...

maybe this weekend... but really its not that easy.
but I forgot it may be in the kernel not param.ifs and bootloaders. I gotta dig into really old threads. I don't think its in the bootloaders like the i9000 gb bootloaders but if it is I'm certainly not messing with it. if its the kernel then I can take a crack at compiling one from someones github but I've never done it successfully.
the thing is I know who knows about each mod but haven't really ever gotten questions answered..

I think boot.img's are diffrent for sense and non-sense roms. just a guess. cause i see when people make them for sense they say they don't work on vanilla roms or visa versa. so i think you'd have to make a whole new one.

correct, i ripped apart fresh2.3.3 and he has a boot1.gif in the /system/media/bootanimation folder
on darch and froyo they have a bootanimation.zip in the /system/media folder. my guess is to take all the images in the bootanimation.zip in the part0 and possibly part1 folder stitch them together in photoshop(you can resize here too) make an animated gif, open in gimp and deoptimize then resave as animated gif. name boot1.gif and push to the /system/media/bootanimation folder.
i just adb pushed this to /system/media on zen exp and it works and it's bad ass
I can confirm this works on nfinitefx45 Rom...

I can also confirm this method as working by doing the same using Fresh 2.3.3 (a sense UI based rom also). Happy booting decepticons!
I tried pushing this after I installed the CS6 test 4 with no luck. I still get the custom boot that was originally on it and DD2.7. After I push it, it shows that it was successful and give the size of the file transferred, but when I reboot I get the same one.
i pushed a custom gif using the images in this boot and it was either blank or it was small and different pixels like it was a bad res any ideas how to get it to work im using fresh 2.3.3
awesome guys glad you found an easier fix. for the froyo user i pushed it just fine i'm on cm6 test 4. pm me if you need help.
I'll try to retry it here in a few hours when I get off work. If I am still unsuccessful, I'll send you a PM. It's good to find another Kansan on here.
I figured out my problem, since I had just redone my Hero with the new CS ROM, I forgot to turn on USB debugging. Retried the steps and was successful.

You are the man! My phone is nearly complete I just need something to get rid of this tmobile boot and shutdown animations.
Go to the themes and apps section and check out the original vibrant bootanimations. It rocks compared to the stock pink stuff.
Thats where this thread is. Can you link the thread? I cant find what you mean.
Srry i don't know how to link the thread but its on the same page as this. Just go to [mod] original galaxy s bootup and shutdown screens and the instructions are in the op. Hope that helps.
I just posted on the thread you are looking for so it should be at the top of the thread list now.
Make sure to flash the theme first then the boot animations, there is not enough room for both on the /system partition so a few of the shutdown images will be missing. But still better than stock.
If you flash the boot animations first you may brick and have to odin back.
Hes right b carefull! If u want u can just extract the files from the zip and then just use root explorer or the like and overwrite all the files manually. Thats how i did it.
Yep thats how I did it. Working flawlessly! Thanks everyone for the help my phone is as close to how I want it now.

It is actually better to flash via CWM, root explorer is more likely to give you "not enough space error" then you will have problems on reboot.
CWM will write over existing files and generally works really well.
I thought doing it via cwm would get me a brick if I have already themed?

Nope, other way around if you CWM the boot animations then theme you may brick.
If you CWM theme then boot, all good.

Ya I will try and get around to it this weekend, might be more than a simple port, Gingerbread changed alot of stuff around. I also need to make sure whitehawkx didn't already start, otherwise would be a waste of a alot of time, it takes me a bit longer than him to get them all working..LOL
Hi, all. I wanted to create my own boot animation so I've been tinkering around with it and wanted to post to get some feedback. It's nothing fancy, and I've only tested on Serendipity VII, but if you'd like to give it a go I've included the zip file.
I've attached a preview as well (can't post links yet). It's not quite as slow as the gif file, but that was the easiest way for me to get a preview of it.
Any and all feedback is appreciated. Like I said, I made this for myself, but wanted to share with this awesome community.
Installation Instructions:
1. Place bootanimation.zip on your sdcard
2. Using a root explorer, mount your system as r/w
3. Move or copy bootanimation.zip to system/media (rename to sanim.zip if on a non-Hellraiser ROM)
4. Reboot
*I would suggest making a backup of your current bootanimation.zip file in case this does not work with your current ROM
Excuse my ignorance but how do you install this animation? CWM? Copy/Paste? How do you enable it? I am running Infused 2.1.0 and have the stock animation while booting and would love to use this one.

Both ways are possible and I see the OP does not state the way.
It won't hurt to try flashing with cwm.... If it's not cwm compatible it just won't work....
And if it does not work then just push it to your system using a root explorer....

Your kernel needs to support alternate bootanimations and if rooted make the system/media dir. Read/Write accessible then you can copy and paste the zip to that dir. Now depending on the kernel you may need to rename the file to something like sanim.zip like with the latest infusion 1.1 kernel.
Apologies for not posting installation instructions. Updating OP with the method I used.
Nice. I really like it. Could you make one that just says INFUSE? Keep up the good work.

Mind directing me to where you found the stock boot animation for the charge?
No way to edit .qmg files without qmage software...which is proprietary...which means it's expensive. Samsung mainly uses this devil-spawn file format in their Bada OS.
Edit:I spoke with a couple guys ok the Bada forums (rather I PMed them a few months back) who have edited these files and never received an answer from them. Perhaps you might have better luck...perhaps not.

I'm not sure if the custom ROMs will support the qmg boot anis. I haven't tried them.
The worst I can see happening is it won't work and you'll end up withe the plain android boot, or it will and it will be "watermarked" with the android. Somewhere in the past there was a post floating around on how to fix the "watermarked" boot but I can't remember where I saw it. Hope this is helpful

The splash screen is built into the kernel if I recall correctly.
I don't believe there is an easy way to change it. Maybe one of our kernel devs could give some input. I know faux changed the splas screen in his kernel but I do miss the ease of changing it on a whim
