So i have a rooted Samsung Continuum, And i want to change my boot screen and since i dont have a recovery option right now i cant flash anything.
So i have to place the boot animation zip on the phone, Well heres the problem i cant find where im suppose to place the file?? Any help would be great.
Yeah, i tried doing the same...
But i learned the hard way that you need to have a kernel installed on your phone that supports changing the bootscreen.. Which continuum users do not have yet.. What we need is Clockwork, which there is development going on to get it So, soon
Ahh ok
Looking around i did find bootsamsung.qmg
and bootsamsungloop.qmg
No idea what those are lol.
Its coming tomorrow a pre-rooted, init.d supporting, custom boot animation packin' 2.1update1 kernel with ext4 AND rfs support. (;

NERDGASM!!!! XD Could you please not tease us!!!!!!!??????? lol that is AWESOME!
Just looking at the /system dump files, they are .qmg files. Which I know nothing about, I was also hoping it was just a .zip file in the system media folder. I guess if you find a way to read the .qmg file, and create a new one once you dissect the old one.

Well not many people have this phone so there isnt much right now, There is a dev getting one of these phones so hopefully in a couple weeks maybe longer we should have some cool stuff.
Just a matter of waiting.

Well, the Continuum has been very odd about that... Most phones that are going to get pretty big communities, get them pretty quickly. It really is just a matter of being patient and not having devs rush things.
Thank you you all know your stuff

Anybody ever change their boot animation? Or can help change mine?
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA Premium App
So much information posted about animations but so much confusion as well.
I've read post after post of animation information but nothing that seems concise. My phone is an HTC Incredible so I do not need any information about any other phone because as has been found several times over; different phones have files in different places. No matter what tutorial/advice I follow, I am simply unable to get the sound to work for the boot animation. The splash works and the animation portion of the boot animation works but the sound is out-to-lunch.
That being said, I have the splash and animation files; bootanimation.zip and android_audio.mp3, both located in the /data/local directory. I have also tried to put them into the /system/media and /system/media/audio, respectively but that didn't seem to work. I have even gone so far as to change the folder part0 to android and modify the desc.txt accordingly; and yes, I saved the desc.txt [480 720 22p 1 0 android] in UNIX format in Notepad++ (Edit >>> EOL Conversion >>> UNIX Format, File >>> Save). I repacked the android folder and desc.txt file into a bootanimation.zip using 7zp; Archiver format [zip] and Compression level [Store]. I have even attempted the process as described at jonamerica.com/technology/updated-root-the-htc-droid-incredible; Updated: Root the HTC Droid Incredible and no-go, no sound.
Anyone have any suggestions? And, please, I am interested in HTC Incredible information only; preferably specific to my setup, if available. I've had enough confusion to last me a lifetime already.
Thanks!
Phone: Verizon HTC Incredible
ROM: CyanogenMod v6.1.0
Splash: Android peeing on Apple - HTC Incredible
Animation: Cyborg Boot Animation
I too am frustrated with this! hopefully someone can shed some light, I want my "DROOOID" boot sound!
A lot of ppl think bootani sounds are annoying which is why 99 percent of roms here dont have them but good luck. If u figure it out post your solution im sure theres a few ppl that wud like it

I'm sure you're right and it is fine for a ROM maker to not include anything, but it "should" be simple to add one.. which leads to the next comment below..

they should.. maybe it isn't a stock feature in stock android, maybe Motorola and HTC had to code it in to make it work... I personally was excited to get the droid eye boot animation and sound when we got Froyo and I would still like both.. it's part of "making it your own" and isn't that what custom roms are about? I suppose in the big picture it isn't that big a deal.. the goal is to NOT see your phone booting but I can't help but enjoy the extra customization a boot animation with sound brings. I'll do some more Googling.. maybe you're right and CM just doesn't support audio at boot..
Thanks
I didn't read any of the reply's but I do know when I put "android_audio.mp3" in the same folder as my boot animation with Skyraider, it played a sound.

I guess try putting the audio file into system/customize/resource thats where the bootani is located on sense based roms...our phones are meant to have sense so cant hurt
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Right, I should have added that it all works as expected on Sense based roms.. just not on AOSP ones.
I'm using Nils Z Sense rom, and couldn't get it to work until I edited the build prop to enable usb notification sound line from 0 to 1, it has worked ever since. Hope this helps you!

pull the android_audio.mp3 file off the phone and put it through a audio editing app and decrease the volume. then push it back to the phone. that's how I would do it.
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

In the gnex forum, they have an awesome script that randomizes boot animations. I think this is very cool and I was wondering if this already exists for our sensation, if not, maybe someone who knows codes can make a flashable script? It seems simple but our roms does not seem to have a init.d support... I have no idea what that is.
So, if this was a repeat of some thread, mod, kindly link it to the correct one. If not, maybe we can use this as some sort of petition? So feel free sign or say +1 or click thanks if this is helpful in some way.
Thank you.

No one wants to make this script work for our sensation? I am surprised this doesn't exist yet at all. Unless I just missed it completely. I already tried asking...very nicely and without spamming...how to get it to work as the original gnex script creator said it can be used on ANY phone in ANY rom as long as the kernel has init.d support. But still no kernel Dev has answered this question. Oh well.

Actually that's just for installing boot animations, and what k8sh says is to have many of them and in every start up it pick up one ramdomly.

That's right. The script assigns a number to each bootanimation zip file and then every boot, you see a different animation. It seems really simple but I have no idea how to get it to work as I don't know much about android codes etc. I'm really surprised no one has picked up on this. I think it is so awesome!

Of course. I already tried. That's why I know it does not work. I'm currently on a rom with sebfms kernel. Either it is rom related or kernel but it definitely has something to do with init.d. folder in the system/etc folder. My current bootanimation is stored in system/media and the script is looking for the files in data/ local. The creator of script said it bypasses the system /media and uses data/local where various bootanimation zips are stored. I don't know. The script is not being called upon boot. I give up. Those who knows how to make it work are not exactly paying attention.

Just taken a look at the script and it is good to go, all you need is your custom bootanimation.zip files in /data/local/bootanimations/
If the script is not being loaded on boot it is because your ramdsk (the other half of boot.zip, 1st half is kernel so kernel + ramdisk = boot.img) doesnt have inbuilt init.d script support

I'm sorry but if people can't read I will start to lose my temper.
It is stated in both the OP of the original thread and in my last post that;
1. You need a ROM that supports init.d script
2. Bootanimations should be renamed to whatever then placed in /data/local/bootanimations/
Seriously how hard is it to read 1 post above yours

Tried it but it didn't work. I only tested it real quick though. The developer should at least have a trial version as it takes longer than 15 minutes to know how to set it up and reboot. Thanks for the heads up on the app.

Just flashed the 60mb file from the link in op, works fine. But I am running aosp and bricked 1.6 kernel. If your phone runs init.d scripts at boot this will work. Is a nifty idea tho, cos I have 20 different animations so will be a surprise everytime I reboot.

Does anyone know where to download some good boot animations for our phones? To my knowledge boot animations must be custom tailored to individual phone, like you can't just use one meant for a S3, but dont really know for sure. Would love a nexus 4 boot animation!
Also by any chance is there a 4,2 photosphereapk working for our phones? I installed one a couple of months ago but it was very glitch :\
Thanks!

Look for boot animations that are 480x800(which is the resolution for our device). As of now, I got permission to port RemICS-JB.. There is photosphere in there but you have to change build.prop to Galaxy Nexus(informed about this). Will post the apk in an edit..
