Are you sure, because that'd what I originally thought but I've tried replacing that via root explorer with a modded one but out hasn't worked?

Thanks for the location, now since I have it and gonna do up my own bootscreen how do I go about pushing it back to my phone?
I think I found out how.
Remount the system partition read-write: adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
Push the file across to your device: adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
At least something to try when i get it done.

I have been using Droid Explorer (free program for your computer) to do this stuff and it seems to work well. Most people seem to use Root Explorer (paid app) on most of the Boot Screen threads.

Has anyone got any boot screens to share? Or show off?

I have one I'm working on all it is is the one file but haven't figured out the desc.txt file to get it right just yet all I get right now is a black screen after the Sony Ericsson screen. After I get it figured out I'll be dropping more bootscreens for everyone.

cool

I have an animation of a fine lady lifting her top as my bootanimation. I was surpriced how easy it is to make your own organisations so i am going to make a few and maybe share them if i find them good enough :-D unfortunately i cant upload a picture showing my animation because i am a new user, and therefore aparantly not allowed to post links...

Found these desc.txt info somewhere in XDA forum.
480 854 = (W x H) Animation size
12 = fps
p = pointer (don't change)
1 = no. of times to play, 0= loop
ani1, ani2, ani3 = folder containing png files (animation)
24 = freeze on last frame in each folder (fps)
Hope that helps..

desc.txt is used by the phone for timing purposes i think.
I used root explorer to import my boot animation, its very easy.

Custom bootlogo jerpelea used this in his custom 2.1
Works also on Se 2.1 just overwrite the bootanimation.zip (located /system/media) with this one

(Tut) How to get back to stock boot animation.

I see a lot of ppl that are on custom roms that would like stock animation and sound back. So i figured i would share this. I take no credit for this. Im just simply rewriting and summarizing what i found over in the Stratosphere section on rootzwiki. Credit goes to icebear for finding the files and to buffaloquinn for posting what to do with them. You can find that thread here
Download stock files here
In Root Explorer (or other file manager)
Navigate to /system/media/
(change to R/W)
In /system/media/
Rename bootsamsung.qmg -> bootsamsung.bak
Rename bootsamsungloop.qmg -> bootsamsungloop.bak
Copy bootani.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg (from wherever you have them) to the /system/media/ directory
Rename bootani.qmg -> bootsamsung.qmg
In /system/etc/
Replace the PowerOn.wav file with stock Droid version (If your on infinity rom or another rom that doesnt have boot sound. Then just add the wav file to the /system/etc/ directory)
Change back to R/O
Reboot to the Droid animation

Nice job writing it up but lol that dang boot sound is the first thing I kill. I either edit it out or replace it.

Thanks! Sound is optional though. I just figured i would include how to do it all. If anybody doesn't want any sound then just delete the .wav file in the directory.

Im running tweakstock 1.4 and the audio changed but the animation did not

Are you running the latest pbj kernel? If so, go into /system/media and delete "sanim. Zip".

Well, they're different devices so my tentative answer is no. But we're not going to stop you, so if you want to try it, be my guest. You'd probably get much better feedback in your own forum.

Jellybeer only recognises "bootanimation.zip" file.

Those are universal boot animation type I think. Do a search of the entire site for boot animations.

i have some file bootanimation.zip. but i do'nt know how to use with this rom.

Using Root Explorer go to System/media.
Then after turning on Read/Write in Root Explorer replace the current ZIP with your choice. Set the permission rw-r-r and reboot.
Sometimes you need to name it sanim.zip instead of bootanimation.zip

That's how I changed mine in zeus. Of course you need to fix permissions, that's assumed in the process.

And yet my bootanimation went back to stock after a week of using Zeus. I ended up having to manually rename the sanim.zip to bootanimation.zip to get the custom boot animation back. Bottomline, search and try to do things yourself before posting a topic. A boot animation is simple, so the flashing should be harmless to your phone if you have a general idea of what you are doing.

[BOOTANIMATION] Animus BootScreen

Hi everyone, I'm quite new to this forum (well posting ofc). So if I did anything wrong please instead of giving insulting replies which will teach me nothing, just PM or remind me here. I'll appreciate it.
After I got my GNote and flashed AmniX's Custom Rom, I wanted something else as bootanimation.
Since i'm a major AC Fan, I have decided to port the bootscreen I've used from my Animus PC Interface and put it here.
Screenshot IS Located at the Attachments
This bootanimation will work with any kernal that supports it.
But this will NOT work with ROMs that uses .qmg file as their bootanimation instead of a .zip file. (eg. Stock ROM)
WARNING - DO NOT FLASH THIS IN RECOVERY
Steps in installing:
1. Download the zip file,
2. Copy the zip file into your internal storage of your phone or the external SD card.
3. Using a root explorer or browser, navigate to system/media
4. Make a backup of your bootanimation.zip located in there (Just InCase it does not work for you) and remove it from the system/media folder. - IMPORTANT
5. Copy the bootanimation.zip that you have downloaded into system/media
6. After you have copied the zip file into system/media, change the permission of the zip file to rw-r--r-- (thanks projeto56 for mentioning)
7. Reboot and enjoy your new bootscreen.
Just a heads up, IF the bootscreen did not work, you will have a BLACK SCREEN during bootup, its nothing and it will still be running, just without an animation displaying there.
I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPEN TO YOUR PHONE. READ THE INSTRUSTION CAREFULLY BEFORE DOING IT.

Nice one
You should also mention about the permissions of the bootanimation file. They should be rw-r--r--

Thanks for reminding me, I've added it to the original post

Hey awesome work
Just wondering what about the boot up sound ?
Is it not present ?
Or is it just my issue ?
Note n7000 - Carbon ROM v1.8
I think it has a cm kernel by default being a AOSP ROM

Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

There were no boot sound since I don't know what to put there, so its not just you, I guess its everyone
Thanks for the credits. I appreciate it
Also the speed is the same (its around the speed of the gif file), if you want it slower I will need to redo the entire bootanimation again.

Nope, i like it... Was just curious that's all :thumbup::thumbup:
Good job
Btw the abstergo spelling is misspelled
In the animation text shows absterbo :what:
Lol
