[Q] custom boot animation from rom toolbox

I've been trying to load a custom boot animation from Rom toolbox. Not having any luck. It has an install option that doesn't seem to work. I've gone into system media file and there are no signs of any bootanimation.zip. I've copied the custom ba into the system bin and replaced the existing file with it and all I managed to do was get a black screen rather than the stock ba. As far as I can tell I have full r/w permissions. Am I going about it wrong or is Rom toolboxes boot animation not compatible with inspire?
Thanks

After replacing bootanimation.zip are you changing permissions to R/W, R, R? Don't know if it's necessary, but I always do it that way and have never had a problem.
If you don't see bootanimation.zip in /system/media/, do you see it in /system/customize/resource? If so, put it here

Youre the man. I didn't even think to look in there. Thank you

I'm using rooted samsung galaxy s advance with DDLD4 gingerbread. The custom font instaler from ROM toolbox works but the booranim. doesn't. And where can I get a custom ROM for my phone. Please help.

Infinity ROM BOOT SCREEN

Does anyone know how to change the boot animation on the gingerbread infinity rom? I tried using rom toolbox app to change the boot animation. It succesfully installs it but the animation never changes. Any clues on how to fix it or other methods?

yes you can download a different boot animation and rename it to bootanimation.zip
Then with root explorer move the file to system/media.Replace the original one (remeber to back it up) and just reboot

search in the internet for a bootanimation of your choice (or extract it from another rom)
on your phone go to: system/media/bootanimation.zip,
(rename "bootanimation.zip"to whatever.zip).
now in system/media put the new bootanimation.zip you downloaded,
make sure is .zip and named bootanimation ,reboot your phone Enjoy.

[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?

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.

no, doesn't require deodex

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?

[Q] Bootanim and Screen off anim

Hey guys.. so i'm running ViperXL 3.0 JB.. and i was searching to replace the bootanimation, and couldn't find a file named bootanimation.zip.. all i could find was HTC_bootup_one.zip and htc_downanimation.zip in system/customize/resource
so.. can anyone point it to me?
Also.. since i'm running JB from asia (ViperXL), is there a way to flash a mod to get the CTR Screen Off Animation?
thanks guys! appreciate it

That is indeed the boot animation file, unzip it and you can see the individual images.
The problem I ran into here was replacing it with a new boot animation of the same name somehow broke the startup animation altogether and all I got was the blue android animation, even after putting the original file back. I did a nand restore to get the original back and am now waiting for someone to figure out how to do this the right way or start making flashable zips.
I was doing this through es file explorer on viper xl 3.0. Did it the same way many times before on ice with no issues.

did u set the permissions of the files right?

I set the system partition to write and then back to read once the files were moved, but I don't think I can change file permissions with es and I don't have root explorer. Eventually I will quit being lazy and try replacing the files through adb with proper permissions like I had to on my evo.

Idk if this interests you guys but.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1823151

boot animation won't change

Came across a real neat boot animation but it just wouldn't come up.
I changed the name to bootanimation.zip and the stock one to: bootanimationstock.zip
placed it in system/media with system on r\w.
Also checked the config file which says to load file system/media/bootanimation04.zip
Tried renaming the boot animation i wanted to bootanimation04.zip
All i get now is this minimalistic bootanimation where the small letters : ''Android'' are flashing.
I'm on rooted JB 4.2.1
Any suggestions?

This is how I change the boot animation: using Root Browser, I put the bootanimation.zip file inside /data/local.
Not sure about the minimalistic bootanimation you're getting, but that kinda sounds cool! (I like minimalistic designs)

Put it in /data/local and name it bootanimation.zip - it will be preferred to the one in the ROM.

I don't really like it haha, it seems like this is a backup animation. Can't get the stock animation to stick anymore
Update: pretty sure I put it in the right folder now but it didn't work.
Thanks anyway

"System\media\" and "data\local\" not working. I tried...
I've tried it. Copied my bootanimation.zip file to that 2 folder. But not working. My phone starts no boot animations. Just blank dark screen. My bootanimation.zip was working few months ago the system was Android 4.4.4 (i think that was 1 year ago). But now that is not working, what will i do ?
My Bootanimation video is here -> My Video
Thanks.
