So i have a rooted Samsung Continuum, And i want to change my boot screen and since i dont have a recovery option right now i cant flash anything.
So i have to place the boot animation zip on the phone, Well heres the problem i cant find where im suppose to place the file?? Any help would be great.
Yeah, i tried doing the same...
But i learned the hard way that you need to have a kernel installed on your phone that supports changing the bootscreen.. Which continuum users do not have yet.. What we need is Clockwork, which there is development going on to get it So, soon
Ahh ok
Looking around i did find bootsamsung.qmg
and bootsamsungloop.qmg
No idea what those are lol.
Its coming tomorrow a pre-rooted, init.d supporting, custom boot animation packin' 2.1update1 kernel with ext4 AND rfs support. (;

NERDGASM!!!! XD Could you please not tease us!!!!!!!??????? lol that is AWESOME!
Just looking at the /system dump files, they are .qmg files. Which I know nothing about, I was also hoping it was just a .zip file in the system media folder. I guess if you find a way to read the .qmg file, and create a new one once you dissect the old one.

Well not many people have this phone so there isnt much right now, There is a dev getting one of these phones so hopefully in a couple weeks maybe longer we should have some cool stuff.
Just a matter of waiting.

Well, the Continuum has been very odd about that... Most phones that are going to get pretty big communities, get them pretty quickly. It really is just a matter of being patient and not having devs rush things.
Thank you you all know your stuff

I'm not sure if this has been posted here and I'm not taking credit, all I'm doing is bringing this over from AC
Boot zip(place in system/customize/resource folder) using root explorer or something similar.
Using CM roms, place zip in system/media - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NMC0ZHLC
DON'T FORGET, IF YOU'RE MOVING THE ZIP, TO ALSO RENAME OR MOVE WHATEVER BOOTANIMATION ZIP YOU ARE CURRENTLY RUNNING
Enjoy!
EDIT Removed the link for the flashable zip since people are saying it's not working. Again, this is not my work and I simply moved the bootanimation zip using root explorer. It's very simple.
Thank you ill flash it right now
Let's take a look...
Thanks for posting, but this really isn't anything new. I've seen this boot animation on several ROMs before.
animations on video please? somewere on youtube haha
Anyone try it on the latest cm7 nightly yet?
Sent from my CM7 Supersonic
Running stock boot animation and it didn't work for me flashing the zip.
Yeah, flashing the zip didn't work for me either on CM7 Nightly #6.
Edit: dropping the bootanimation.zip into system/media did though.

Sorry, I should have added that in the OP as far as using this with CM.
I'm actually trying to figure out what sound animation might work well with this....Anyone have ideas?
Can anyone make this flashable zip work? I'd like this.

You don't flash it, you replace your current bootanimation.zip with it

You have to use an app like root explorer or adb because you are replacing protected system files. You wont be able to just copy and paste through windows.

With permission from the very gifted grafix man TonicAcid from the vibrant Forum. Here are some already made Boot/Shutdown animations.
Plus a tutorial to help create your own
Click link to be taken to his thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=862537
Understand that these files are set up to be flashed with CWM which we do not have. They have to be Non- flashable and moved using Root Explorer or similar app.
I am awaiting a reply from TonicAcid that will tell me what needs to be removed from CWM version to make them work right for us.
(Edit) confirmed: we can pull the bootanimation file from the flashable files and push them with root explorer or something that does the samething.
If you create any Non-Flashable Boots post them for others if you like:
Awesome, I found quite a few I like here

3.1uv kernel
removed the boot and bootloop samsung files, copied the bootanimation.zip to /system/media and i get no animation at all....
used to work when i was running 2.1uv. the original galaxy s animations work fine, but not bootanimation.zip...
any advice?
I use an app called bootanimation utility and it works fine.
You can import your own, or choose from some downloads. I currently have a cm7 one.

then you're pushing it to the wrong place. you place bootanimation.zip to system/media. shutdown sound goes in system/media/audo/ui. shutdown folder goes in system/media/video.

I've already did that sir. But still it is blank screen for my bootanimation. What else I can do?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
hmm....so....
you downloaded an animation from this link, right?:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1053250
when you download the file, it comes in a zip file. open the zip file and you should notice a system folder. open that system folder and open the media folder within it. you should see a bootanimation.zip. that file is the one you are copying to system/media on your phone, right?
i know some people simply download the file and rename it to bootanimation.zip. they are actually renaming the cwm flashable file and not pushing the correct zip. you do not have to rename anything during this process. i would say to try and flash it, but for some reason, it never works for me, but you are more than welcome to try and flash it yourself. the above method is just in case that doesnt work.
I KNOW THIS HAVE BEEN DONE BEFORE WITH OTHER METHODS BUT I AM MAKING A NEW THREAD WITH A NEW & EASY METHOD:
TESTED TO WORK ON MY ROOTED ""Cricket Incredible SENSE Rom Release Candidate 3""
I take it it works for any stock or sense roms since other custom roms might have their own custom splash screens.
I MIGHT WORK FOR YOU ALSO.
(WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSABILITY IF SOMETHING HAPPES TO YOUR INCREDIBLE)
LIKE I SAID IT WORKED FOR MINES.
FOR THE FIRST SPLASH SCREEN GO HERE AND DOWNLOAD THE PB31IMG.zip TO YOUR ALREADY FORMATTED TO FAT32 SDCARD: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=753938
just remember your sd card needs to be formattaed to FAT32 in order for HBOOT to read the PB31IMG.zip file.
FOR THE 2ND SCREEN:
I used root explorer, (google it) and then install, click on mount R/W , MAKE SURE IT SAYS mount R/O, go to sdcard then long press my ZIP file you downloaded from me click MOVE, then back arrow then scroll down to system/customize/resource then PASTE and it should overwrite the file. Leave the MP3 droid sound untouched. now reboot and enjoy.
again dont forget to click on the ''THANKS'' button if i helped you out!!!

If you replace the splash screen then it will not, if you replace the boot splash it will but since you are running a nexus boot animation you shouldn't have it in the first place, unless you want to add it back.
is this the splash screen or boot animation ?
I want to flash this, but I'm scared to do this with any PB31IMG files. Any reports on others trying this?
I felt he was yelling throughout the whole post...
Yeah, and yelling something that has been known for an eternity. Like Stoney said, what exactly is this NEW method?

Look peanut, no one is hating. Shouting in caps "I HAVE A NEW METHOD" which is no different than the "old" method is very misleading. Just stating fact, not hating. And then asking for thanks.

Realy good looking i will try
This may not be the best looking boot animation, as it's just a combination from the teaser trailer on YouTube.
It's looped and will just replay. This is my first boot animation....first of anything in this sorts. Going to do a complete overhaul this week of it, so please refrain from flaming this noob . In Xbox terms...I'm a scrub
Here is the video I made of it as a preview:
Download Link: http://www.mediafire.com/?oudaa6nmcjbaloy (15MB) I know...it's HUGE.
Instructions:
-Backup current bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip.bak
-Download and copy the MW3 boot animation and paste it to system/media and change permissions
-Reboot
Another GREAT boot animation, but for the wildfire can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1006336 It's sick.

You know, I wondered the same thing but my boot up time is longer when USB is plugged in, which was the case in the video.
When its unplugged, its quicker.

That's what........ "HE" said? LMFAO
Nah, seriously tho... Not sure if this will help you, because I haven't tested it on an Inspire yet... But on the G1, Boot animations could have JPG files OR PNG files for animations. You may want to try and use JPG files just to see. If the Inspire will render them properly, it will cut the size of your animation by 2/3's at least.
