Does anyone have a list or resource for putting custom boot animations onto this device? I can't imagine other device animations will work, but I've never done this. Searching has not helped me a single iota!
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
I used ROM toolbox pro to change my stock boot animation.

I have ROM Toolbox Pro as well, but none of the settings I apply stick. SystemUI icons don't change, and the bootloader animation stays stock. Am I doing something wrong here?
what rom are you running again?

Me? I'm running stock rooted, but also have Bean's ROM as a backup. I can get the international boot animation to work, but nothing from ROM toolbox.

Same here (root66 ROM).
The stock VZ boot animation annoyed me so much I wanted to punch a baby every time I started the phone & I installed ROM Toolbox (an app I normally don't use) to get rid of it.
I picked one of the custom animations, told it to DL & install & rebooted. The custom boot did not work at all, but it did get rid of the VZ [email protected] and turned it into the generic blue swirl Samsung animation with no sound which is what I really wanted in the first place.........
One thing ROM TB DID work for was changing the battery icon. All my icons where white except the ugly stock green battery icon.
ROM TB changed it to a white digital readout icon that looks perfect with all the other white task bar icons.
I have used Rom Toolbox on three phones now and the boot animations have NEVER worked for me. How can I do it manually?
If I look in the /data/local/ folder there is a bootanimation.zip but that clearly doesn't mean anything!
On the Droid Inc it was /system/media/ if i recall correctly. I looked in there, and there was bootsamsung.qmg or something. A Google search told me .qmg was a Samsung theme file. I am no themer but that may be worth a look.
Edit: ssnapier, i have checked on my phone in data/local/ and didn't have a bootanimation.zip might be where Rom Toolbox is placing it.

read beans post above, if you arent running a kernel with boot ani support you arent going to see it.
I know it has boot animation support now, but the reason I haven't flashed a recent version is because of the same thing that enables boot anim support. The kernel is unstable for some people.

For those of you not using Cyanogen (how many of you are there, like, 10? ) this is the pretty cool bootscreen that comes with it if you want to use it. Let me know if there are any questions or concerns on how to get it up and running.
When I tried cm6 and saw this bootscreen I was very disappointed when I couldn't get mms to work for my carrier and had to go back to a sense Rom. This animation is awesome and thank you very much for sharing it as a stand alone zip.

All you have to do is find the bootscreen and then apply it. Any bootscreen will work as they are not rom specific.
ROM Toolbox just hangs while installing a custom boot animation in the leaked odex'd ICS.
Anyone know if Seanscreamz SkyScream boot animations can be flashed on leaked stock (odex) ICS? I've got it set up the way I want and don't wanna break anything for the next couple weeks.

1) Flash this first, then try.
Go to the March 28the post. Not the OP!

Darn, that was fast.
I figured it would takes weeks for an ICS kernel to pop up.
Direct link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24147502&postcount=126
its just slightly reconfigured (some config files in flash image)
This is ONLY for the official stock 2.3.4 LG ROM that introduced the new March 2012 baseband!!
I repeat, DO NOT FLASH ON ANYTHING ELSE.
Ok so since my real first porting of a theme (which was a little of a disaster in my opinion...) I've gotten a lot better/smarter.
This port is probably going to be the final. There's honestly nothing wrong with it so far that I can tell.
I might change the drop down menu background to something else maybe. For some reason, even if you use a transparent image... it still isn't transparent for me.
I just kind of grabbed some random image for the background and used it... it was supposed to repeat itself and just kind of scaled... and doesn't look too bad in my opinion.
How to install:
Download the attachment to SD card
Boot into CWM
(Optional) Create a backup in case of boot loop
Flash the zip
Reboot device
There is no need to wipe cache or dalvik or any of that nonsense. I NEVER do, but you can if you're paranoid enough.
Known Issues:
None.
Notes:
I disabled the overscroll glow. I just personally do not like it and it tends to make the device lag when it appears.
I didn't do any .xml changes so no colors should be ugly on certain other windows/frames.
The font in my screenshots will NOT be applied to your phone; that is the font I use and it is not included in the theme.
SOLUTION IF YOUR PHONE BOOT LOOPS
If your phone bootloops it means you dirty flashed 2.3.4 onto your device which means you were on 2.3.3, then you upgraded to 2.3.4 via LG Update tool, and then tried to flash this theme.
So what you have to do (and SHOULD do anyway) is download the rooted 2.3.4 stock ROM (thanks to kwes) and do a fresh install of it (wipe data/factory reset and format /system) then this theme will work 100%.
MD5 Sums of files:
Regular Touch of ICS = b355978ec1b9d026d0d78e5b1e1509d6

CM7 Battery Mod = ad727e7b4180b4a9aaec27d2a5cbd615
------------------------------
Big thanks to kwes and Core Memory... you all should already know why by now.
Enjoy!
Looks awesome, I'll be applying this to my wife's phone later today. You state 2.3.4 but will this cause problems with 2.3.7 base roms?

Pretty good i must say. Is it possible to include ICS like notification toggles in the theme as well?
Thanks
very nice looking theme. will be flashing.

I don't consider myself a themer, and especially not a developer. You have to ask a real developer to edit stuff to get those things.

Which ROM are you running? This is ONLY for the stock official LG 2.3.4 firmware.
It will not work on any ROM other than the official.
I have also updated the OP to verify and hopefully make it more clear.
This is great

hey buru, you think you can make a flashable zip of a circular battery icon with % and ICS blue colors instead of the current one?

I don't know what could have gone wrong. Nothing is wrong with my .zip. No one else is having problems nor getting any bootloops.
It's possible you got a bad download of the file. Try re-downloading it again and flashing.
Wonder who rated this thread 2 stars :/??
OP has been updated with 2 different batteries: the circular battery by request, and the CM7 battery with the number and little bar on the right side of it.
Hey man i've loved it, can you add the CRT on and off animation, please? I want it cus the stock one when you press the button to turn screen on shows the previous screen that I was before and then go to lock screen(very fast), know what i'm saying? That's annoying, thanks for the theme!!

Thank you and yeah I know what you mean.
I've stated before that I'm not a developer, nor am I a themer; I just simply port over stuff.
I would love to have the screen off animation, and quick toggles as seen in weapon and bionix, but I don't even know the beginning stuff. I'd have to do a lot, lot of reading and experimenting... which I may do one day but work keeps me pretty busy.
By the time I learn anything worthwhile I'm sure a developer would have already made a custom ROM out of this and did all that stuff .
Believe me, I want all that neat stuff too.
Yeeeeah, I've stopped using ics roms because of little things like that, I love when the rom works smooth and fast, it would be awesome if any developer did the crt on and off animation work here, I'm missing the toggles too

Do you mean the boot animation? ROM Toolbox has it. Its also floating around here somewheres but I use that app for a bunch of other things which is why I mentioned it.

He probably means animations like transitions and other stuff. Dont know if that possible though
If you mean the stock Nexus S Gingerbread boot animation, I have attached that.
I used rom toolbox to change some status bar icons on my rezound.
Before I try on my S3 I wanted to see if anyone knew whether or not it'd also work with our phones.
Thanks in advance!!

I can say this, I had installed the recovery needed to flash imo's kernel then decided I wanted to check Rom manager out, which I had to flash the recovery that Rom manager flashes which junked out something.. phone just kept booting into recovery, flashed my backup and all was good
I used Rom manager to flash synergy 1.1, 1.2. Wellnj flashed CWM 5.8 or w.e...non touch CWM and had no issues. The easiest way now is EZ recovery.. you can download it from the market..it really is simple..if you need help I can help you.

+1 EZ recovery is the recommended way to flash recoveries on the GS3. its super easy and free in the play store
Thanks for the replies. I'm good flashing roms. I was looking to change the status bar icons. I actually meant rom toolbox not rom manager. Sorry
Does anyone know if that works??

ROM Toolbox changed my battery icon with no problem
I keep ROM Toolbox around for some of the root utilities. I haven't used any of the theming functionality. I have seen a few threads where people have mentioned that the boot animations do not work. I can confirm that the CPU settings seem to stick. I haven't set them to apply at boot but I have had the phone OC'd to 1.7 for a day.
I'm thinking that since the toolbox came out of the DX days some of the functionality won't directly port over. YMMV. Just keep a nandroid around in case of issues!

That's true, they don't.
What's funny is, I hated the stock VZ boot animation/sound so much I wanted to smash the phone every time it booted. I tried using ROM toolbox to change it, & while the new animation didn't work it got rid of the VZ crap & changed it to the generic Samsung boot image (a blue swirly thing) with no sound which is all I really wanted anyway........

I ended up flashing a zip invisiblec posted to get that boot animation. Samsung uses a weird pair of files for their boot animation. I haven't looked into them much because of their odd extension.
