Changing boot animation?

I found the files, pulled it, edited it with the new images and pushed it back. Yet it plays the same animation. Any ideas?

Bump, anyone? Im sure someone knows the problem... Thanks.

Thanks bubba.

Best I can do!
LOCATIONS OF SOUNDS AND ANIMATIONS
Startup sound;
/system/etc/PowerOn.wav
Startup animation;
/system/media/bootsamsung.qmg
/system/media/bootsamsungloop.qmg
/system/bin/bootanimation
Shutdown sound;
/system/media/audio/ui/shutdown.ogg
Shutdown video (directory of .qmg);
/system/media/shutdown/

Thanks man but as of right now we cant modify these, right?

So I used Root Explorer to rename the poweron.wav to poweron.wav.bak, and now I have no retardulous bootup sound!
Has anybody tried renaming the bootup animation files to or replacing them with null files or something? I wouldn't be surprised if it results in failed bootup.

The above sounds intimidating, but I would be stoked if somebody posted a walkthrough.
I was thinking it might best be left up the ROM developer, but I'm sure many people on a given ROM would want the boot animation. I would like it disabled, or better yet, I would like to see what the phone is doing (kindof like Windows XP Safe Mode Startup)

[MOD][bootanim] ICS-like boot animation (requires my 20120105 kernel or better)

I put it in the title, and I'll put it here again because I KNOW someone will ask (or do worse)
THIS BOOT ANIMATION WILL ONLY WORK ON THE P6210 WITH KERNELS THAT SUPPORT BOOT ANIMATIONS. THAT CURRENTLY ONLY INCLUDES MY KERNEL FOR THE P6210 WITH A VERSION GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO 20120105.
I wonder how many people will ignore that and install it on the 20120102 version (which, honestly, will amuse me quite a bit as it'll have an interesting result.)
Credit where credit is due: The actual boot animation was modified from the animation provided in UnNamed 1.x for the AT&T SGSII by gtg465x. All I did was rotate all the images, tweak the dimensions of the control file, and stick it into a recovery installable update.zip file.
How to install:
Download it. Put it on your device. Boot into recovery and install .zip file from sdcard (or internal sdcard if you put it on the microSD.)
This is completely unsupported... it's only meant as a sample and proof of concept for the boot anims.
This post has a link to a youtube showing the boot anim: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21101682&postcount=8
Take care

Rock On dude! can someone post a teaser video! thanks garyd!!
dont know if this also removes boot up sound,
in case anyone cant figure it out it should be /system/etc/poweron.wav, you can play the .wav first to verify, if so rather than delete it just rename to backuppoweron.wav
cheers!

by the way i found a way how to change the bootanimation on my galaxy mini :
1. delete the 'bootanimation' located in /system/bin (better to backup)
2. then copy and rename 'samsungani' to 'bootanimation'
3. then delete (backup) the bootani.qmg located in /system/media
4. copy the bootanimation.zip file to /system/media
and, i tried this on my gtab 7+ p6200.
but on step 3, in /system/media there are bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg. i don't know which file to delete/replace.
is the bootsamsungloop.qmg ?
can someone help me?

how come that Gtab7+ doesn't support the bootanimation ? if we got samsung bootanimation means it can support any bootanim i guess. or whatcha you think ?

ive tried this method with renaming both of these files, bootanimation finishes and lockscreen/homescreen come up but bootanimation is frozen stuck covering the top 60% of screen.

I've got this already up and going on my tab with the stock ICS boot animation. Did it late last night. Didn't use this boot animation, modified my own from my galaxy s2.
I'll post a video today on how it looks. Much better than stock.
Thanks Gary.

Requires De-Odexed firmware?

very nice.. looking good. thanks for the vid.

Eh I wouldn't think so. Its only placing a file in /system/media. Not touching any other files.
As long as you have the kernel flashed you should be good to go.

Is there any way that the boot animation could be silent? The noise is disruptive in public settings if I get a random reboot, so I'm told, lol

Normally there is a power on audio file in /system/media/audio/ui but I can't see one.
Power off is in there though
EDIT found it!
/etc/1power_on.ogg
Delete that and bye bye boot up sound

Same here. its system/etc/1_poweron.ogg just renamed mine with root explorer.

This mod is only a "proof of concept" to demonstrate the changing of the boot animation using the kernel I posted in another thread. The boot sound is unrelated to the boot animation from the kernel point of view. Normally, the boot animation and/or sound would be changed by firmware developers.

Because Samsung insists on using their own wacky bootanimation binary and format.
So you need to either:
1) Replace the binary (manual effort, no "fallback" if no bootanim is present)
2) Add a script to the kernel initramfs that uses "standard" bootanim support if you have one present, and Samsung's as a fallback.

...and I shamelessly copied the script from Entropy512's work on the i777 to do just this for the 7+.

Is there anyway to get back to the stock animation from this?

You can simply delete the bootanimation.zip file in system/etc/media, I assume?

CM 10 Boot Animation, how to install?

I'm sure some of you have seen the video for the new CM10 Boot animation:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogp9f4_yEoU
I WANT IT! But when I try to flash the file found in CM10ZipSaves/Vertical/480 CWM Recovery gives me "Installation Aborted."
Halp anyone?

Not a flashable zip. You have to replace the bootanimation.zip found in /system/media by yours. Be sure to name it the same and overwrite it.
www.google.com is also a very good help source. I used the keywords "replace boot animation android" to find that in 0.21 seconds.

Cool your jets man, it took me a bit longer than that. Plus there's no new thread about the new CM10 boot animation so THERE!

I followed all the instructions and tried with both the 800 and 480 animations, but when the phone boots up it just shows a stock animation of the android logo...
anyone know why this might be?
I replaced both the animation in system/media and data/local

I've never tried putting anything in data/local. Try just system/media.

Yea, at first I tried just system/media and that didn't work and some article said try data/local as a solution - which also did not work :/

Putting the bootanimation.zip in /data/local should work. Be sure to change its permissions to 0755 or rwxr-xr-x.

Ah, perfect! Thank you so much!

fyi i created/(modified) a flashable zip for our ns4(g) works on my crespo4g ymmv no warranties no guarantees

Vertical 480 from the zip file in the youtube video worked for me, just changed permissions. Still using CM9 though, just didn't like the boot animation.

Bootanimation Problem

Hi everyone I have a problem with a bootanimation.
The anmation at first plays normally but when the sofkey light up an the phone vibrates the phone screen goes white.
After that the screen stays black but the status bar stys visible.
I am using ViperSaga 2.20 I am s-off.
I have uploaded the bootanimation for you to test so you can tell me if the bootanimation.zip is at fault.
This is the site from where I have the animation: http://androidbootanimation.com/page/2/
Thanks in advance.

I unziped the folder and the boot animation is meant for HD displays.
You would have to resize every picture and change the .txt file in the folder to "480*800"

So I have to resize them to the resolution 480*800?
But the txt. file is 480x800.
And with which tool can I do this.
Paint, gimp?

Gimp should work. And in the script you have to change the line in the desc.txt from 800 1280 to 480 800 without the * The 20 behind has to stay (It tells the speed of the animation (fps[frames per second])
BTW the boot animation is/was(haven't used AOKP in a while) the official AOKP boot anmiation. You can extract the animation out of a ROM zip. I only have a old Nexus 7 ROM on my hard drive (again wrong resolution...), but search for it, you might find one with the right resolution on Google.
Edit: had 2 bootanimtion.zip on my SD card...
You are right the zip you uploaded is correct, I don't know what the problem is, sorry
Edit2: the picture format should be PNG not JPEG, try changing that.
Going to bed now, I really need sleep...

Your welcome.
Rw is mounted. If you mean that. (chmod 644)? What is that?
I installed another animation from xda and it works. But the one I uploaded isn't working properly. Really weird.

What do mean with rw is mounted?
Step by step using ES file explorer: Mount the system writable, delete the old animation, paste the new that isn't working, long press on the zip, click on properties and change the permissions to rw-r--r-- (read|write-read--read--) & and don't forget to reboot
chmod is a terminal command to changes permissions 644=rw-r--r--

Maybe it's because of rom Viper Saga.

[Port][Bootanimation][SM-T23xx] IOS 8 Glitch Bootanimation

Well... since emoboy had made and IOS 8 rom, I might as well port some sort of IOS 8 boot animation right? No? ok I couldnt find anything for the regular apple boot animation or I could get copyright strike for it. So this is the best I can do. I dont own any tab 4s as this is tested on my tab s and working fine.
Features
------------------
-Shutdown animation
-Bootup animation
- Should fit fine on the T23x as I built this specifically for it
Download
-----------------
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934554370
Installation
------------------
Copy the qmgs from the zip to system/media and then set permissions to rw-r--r-- . Then reboot.
Developers
-------------------------
-Credit me if you want to use this
- To include this in your rom, simply just put it in system/media and replace those qmgs.

I would like to point out that rw-r--r-- is correct, however that is 0644 in permissions (just to avoid confusion). And I would strongly argue this step is necessary.
Nice work! You're the master of boot animations, huh? :good:

Lol I wish I was a master. I know them pretty well Anyway thanks for the permissions and I edited my post. I normally don't change permissions as after exporting it works fine on my Tab S. That's why I don't know much regarding perms ? Thanks a lot for pointing that out!

Must read
note: if you are using custom boot animation from system/media/bootanimation.zip
then this will not work until you disable displaying bootanimation.zip
this mean you must enable displaying these files ( bootsamsung.qmg , bootsamsungloop.qmg , shutdown.qmg ) for the boot animation to work
---------- Post added at 01:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 PM ----------
to disable bootanimation.zip you must replace system/bin/bootanimation with the stock one which can be found in your device official firmware!!
after replacing bootanimation file in system/bin with the stock one it will ignore bootanimation.zip DONE !
NOTE: this work only for samsung devices
