I found this boot animation in another thread (can't remember where I found it as I've been using it on multiple phones now). To install this copy the bootanimation.zip file to the /system/media folder. NOTE: You will need root to do this.
Here is a youtube link of the boot animation in action (I did not shoot this video) http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=US&client=mv-google&hl=en&v=FZkADy9-Xcg&fulldescription=1
Sound has now been added on to this boot animation courtesy of Wewoapsiak
Download the poweron.rar file and copy the poweron.ogg file into /system/media/audio/poweron/

Yes I used Root Explorer. You have have mount the /system/media folder RW
I made a sound file to go with this boot animation, this is the first time I've ever tried anything like this and I used Audacity. It plays decently well on my G2x, sometimes the end gets buggy for some reason. Oh well, I'm attaching it and if anyone wants the original test file I made, I'll email it to you. In the file is a .mp3 file so you can listen to it first, and the .ogg file that you put in the /system/media/audio/poweron folder

Way to go man!! That sound is perfect. I tried it out and it works beautifully. You just made a great boot animation even greater.
I can't get the sound to even play after Unraring it.
Okay got it to work. Anyway you can grab that bad Android opening scene?

Ooooh. Ok. I'll play with it some this week after my tests. I'm also trying to find out if there is a way to test these things on my laptop so I don't have to push to phone and reboot a million times just to get sound synced just right.

Ok, here it is. I added some images, and tweaked it a bit. If you don't like the image at the end (the thumbnail I attached above) remove the images 155 and above. On my G2x there is a bit of lag / black screen at the end, tried to fix it but never figured it out. It only lasts about 2 seconds, maybe it won't be happen yours. I've packed the .zip and .ogg in a .rar file, just place the respective files where they normally go. Hope you like it.

I use Android Commander. http://androidcommander.com/ You have to have root access, and the it's a bit weird right now since we still have an S-On image. It needs root access, so I just run 1-click root before I use the program. Probably an easier way, but I'm too lazy to find it right now.
You could also probably use Astro.

When I have some free time I try that out on my phone.
I tried installing the new boot animation and it installs but only goes thru the ANDROID name then my phone starts up. So the whole animation never plays. Whats the deal. Its like my phone boots up too fast for it to play all the way thru

1)Curious...Are you running CM7? I haven't reinstalled this animation after upgrading, but I have noticed my phone boots faster.
2)So are you saying the sound isn't syncing or it's synced, it just gets cut off early? I'm guessing it's the second one, but I'm asking just in case.
3)Try editing the desc.txt file. It should currently say:
480 800 200
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
Change it to this first:
480 800 200
p 1 0 part0
p 1 0 part1
If that doesn't work try:
480 800 200
p 1 0 part0
p 0 5 part1
I'm sorry I can't try it out myself, I won't be able to work on such until the adb issue gets fixed in the CM7 nightly.
I have a custom boot animation and boot up sound now i am very interested in changing the splash screen. I don't want my phone to boot up and say LG
Is there a tool or a command prompt input that will allow us to change it to whatever we like. I know i'm not the only one who would like this.
I am also looking for information on how to do this on the g2x. I've tried other android guides and command prompts but nothing has worked for me so far
Copy it to your phones sd card amd use root explorer or something similar to name the file bootanimation.zip and copy it to /system/media ... Make sure to back up the one that's already there in case you need it.

I've not seen this listed in the continuum forums so I thought I'd post the link. I'm pretty tired of seeing Verizon every time I reboot my phone. The shutdown animations are easy enough to change but I've had little luck finding or figuring out the .qmg file thing. I was poking around and I found this thread in the Epic forums. I am currently running the Charge boot animation and it works great. The one hitch, after you install through recovery you'll need to go in an explorer, I use root explorer, to system/media and rename the your bootsamsung.qmg to something like boot.sam and rename the bootani.qmg file to bootsamsung.qmg. Hope you anjoy. Credit goes to nubecoder.

Looks Like once you rename the files after the flash, you can reflash another without having to change names again.

I did the whole rename thing but when i did it they came together(the names) then i didnt know which was which. Anyway some how i got boot.ani boot.sam & bootsamsung on there. dont know how to get back, any help would be much appreciated. Now all i get is the droid charge sound but no animation
The one you want to use has to have the .qmg file extension. So, it would be bootsamsung.qmg
Sent from my SCH-I400 using xda premium
Sorry please forgive my ignorance. What do I do with that file exactly? You said use it? How?
You use CWM recovery to flash it. Once flashed you need to rename the files as outlined above.

I did that, and the first reboot had started with the continuum boot then showed the droid eye, then came on. After i changed the names but somehow got boot.sam, bootani.qmg, bootsamsung.qmg all in the media folder. Now I can hear the droid charge boot animation just cant see it. Was thinking should i just reflash the DC07 rom. then try this again or is there an easier way? Thanks
No need to reflash the ROM. I'd reflash the shutdowns and repeat the process. I've not got a clue what you might have done.

Yeah. Es defaults to /sd card. In the app go menu settings. Under home directory, make it just say "/" then scroll down to root and mount system, and make sure voth are checked. Then you are good.

Wow, there it is. Thanks.
Next Question. I renamed the bootsamsung.qmg to boot.sam, which got rid of the boot animation, but I don't have the bootani.qmg. I reflashed the boot image I downloaded, and looked again but it's still not there. Any suggestions?
EDIT: I reflashed the file, and the bootani.qmg showed up. Kind of sweet. Wish I could use some of the custom ones that are out there, but I guess I should be happy I was able to change it for now, eh?
I didn't make this but just wanted to share since it works on our device...
simply unzip the file, use root explorer to copy the lib file and the app, set app permissions correctly, install, then reboot!
my god it is smooth :O

That's because you don't flash in cwm. Follow the exact instructions in post above and it will work but you have to follow them step by step no shortcuts you must do it exactly like it says.

These are the steps you have to do if you want this work. Even though it is a zip file you do not flash it in cwm. Its not gonna work that way. You have to extract the files so you can get the apk file and others needed to do the steps above. You will also need a file explorer that allows you to get to the system files. I used es file explorer its free on the market. Follow the steps above and this will work..

Figured while we are waiting for some custom roms, we could still get a little custom action going on. I got tired of sprints boot animation and started playing w root explorer. Need root access, and a file manager that has permission to write to system folders.
You may want to back up the original sprint_bootanimation.zip to another location before copying any other files, just in case you want to return to stock. I ended up losing mine in a wipe, once I got it back I figured it would be a good idea to have one posted for anyone who needed it, see below.
Below is a link to the Razr stock bootanimation.zip (most 960x540 animations will work, as well as several other resolutions, play around and see what you find and like), rename it sprint_bootanimation.zip and copy it to /system/media. After it is moved change the permissions to rw-r--r-- , should be able to do this by long pressing the file. The other is an OGG file (do not rename), also copy this to /system/media folder. Voila, you now have the stock Razr boot animation whenever you boot your phone, sound and all.

That's odd, I assume you granted root explorer su permission. Maybe go into system settings, apps and clear data in root explorer? If that doesn't get it try es file manager, open menu, settings; close to the bottom of the list is root settings, check all the boxes. It will ask for su permission & you should be able to do it then.

Just a thought. Did you hit the Rw/Ro toggle in the upper right hand corner when you were in /system? People sometimes for get about that.
@OP, Here is a Pro-Tip that I have been using for a long time on a few different phones if you like to swap bootanimations a bunch.
If you drop your "custom" BA in /data/local and set permissions, it will boot up when the phone does. By doing it this way, you can test out as many BAs as you want and all the while your original in /system/media is left clean and unadulterated. I have collected a bunch over the years and have them on my sdcard. Another trick to put them in folders to easily copy over into /data/local at will. So it would be sdcard/MYBootAniations/Clockhell/bootanimation.zip or sdcard/MYBootAniations/RollerCoaster/bootanimation.zip.
Sometimes, I will drop one in my wife's /data/local and then the next time she boots up BAM!!! She is pretty saavy at these things, so it is shortly after bootup when I get a text or call.
Nice, thanks for that, I will give it a try.
