Hey guys, I have been told to post this here as I have not made enough posts..
I tried to change my boot animation, by placing the bootanimation.zip file in both /system/media and /data/local and all still plays the Samsung boot logo although with no sound.. So searched through the forums here and everyone tells you that you need a custom rom to get it to work if your phone has the /system/media/bootsamsung.qmg file...
I then cooked a package from romkitchen and installed that but have the same issue, even though I can see the bootanimation.zip file in /system/media/ I can also still see the bootsamsung.qmg as well.
I have only just got this phone about a week ago, so have searched thoroughly, in case I was missing something but i don't think I am..
Can someone help me with what’s going on?
No one able to help me with this one?
Hm you should easily be able to change bootanimation with the rom kitchen.
Remember that you can not change the white text at the beginning of the boot.
I think the files stay there, they dont get removed, just another one gets used if its present, if not the stock animation will be used.

Thanks for the reply,
I'm not sure if this helps, I have cooked a new one today and applied and it said to keep this log incase I have issues.
http://romkitchen.org/logs/G0ceUf3inJ.txt
I can see the file is in the folder, it just does not seem to take affect.
I am assuming that people have got these working on i9000's before and it's just me..
I still have not managed to get this working, starting to think that I am tripping..
All it seems to do is kill the samsung boot sound.
Anyone else got any ideas?

Do you use a stock rom?
This probably doesn't work because your android is not looking for the bootanimation.zip.
Custom ROMs have a modded start up script which tells the system to look for the .zip file.
I am using a rom from rom kitchen..
I have changed it again since I made post above but still a custom rom..

Did you try downloading a new wipe rom with a different bootanimation build in from start?
Yes, wipe rom, Hardcore's Kernel, boot animation, and everything else is prittly much the default setting in rom kitchen

Did you delete the boot animation file out of system/media,&put the new animation zip AND rename it to the same name as the one you deleted?

I have tried selecting the bootanimation from RK, and also downloading one from elsewhere and replacing the one that is there.
Both have the same effect..
Weird,I had trouble switching mine too. The only way I've been able to do it is using the app called File Explorer. It's like 10 dollars on the market, but I found it for free. I put the new zip on my card, then file explorer/system/media, delete the boot animation zip,paste the new zip & rename it to the name of the zip that was there. It's worked every time. Flashing a new splash screen is a little different....

I will try this again now and see how i go..
Just to clarify the splash screen is the white text right?
I am not trying to change that just the colored samsung animation.
The splash screen is the first screen you see when you turn your phone on. It doesn't move, & most often just says the name of the phone. Then the boot animation comes on, it moves & plays some kind of music. Do you have file explorer? If not, don't buy it,I can help you get it for free.

I have Root Explorer that I use to access that location.
I have tried another bootanimation from this spot -http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905538
I tried both of the sizes for the AndroidParticles2 and set the permissions to rw-r-r
(Renaming to bootanimations.zip and placing in system\media)
but still the samething happens.
Yeah, my bad,I meant Root Explorer. But it had to be bootanimation.zip take the s off

Sorry typo, I don't have the s on my i9000.
Well that's how I change mine. I did download a particle ring android (blue) and couldn't get it to work right. Seems to me like you're doing everything right. There's one other option I know of. Download a free program called android flasher.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794638
You should be able to flash boot animations & splash screens with no problem. It is a .rar, so if you don't have the program you'll need to download winrar or something similar to extract & install the files. Google it, the program is free.

It appears to just be for the Desire..
Thanks for your help today, at least I know now that I wasn't just doing something stupid.
Like some people, I missed the little 'droid boot animation from my HTC Hero.
So I've made one for my Sensation...
As you can see from the YouTube clip above, it's a re-work of the original Hero boot
It's available to download from here : https://sites.google.com/site/techbobbins/home/articles/retrograde-sensation
It also incorporates the black HTC "quietly brilliant" graphic already available on XDA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193798&highlight=black+htc) - so credit where that is due (mexxxico)
Just put the .zip & .mp3 into /data/local (or just the .zip if you don't want the noise!)
NOTE: This animation was created for use (initially) with ARHD 1.1.8 - if your bootanimation.zip goes elsewhere, put it (and the mp3) in the relevant location.
splash.img is obviously just the splash image, and instructions for getting that up are here...
UPDATE: I have now (30/08/2011) released V2.0, in which I have :
updated the main animation to be reflected (although I have not yet made the 'droid character reflect!)
reduced the .zip by 176K (size matters!)
amended the timings slightly to (IMO) better match the sound
removed the 'non-reflected' splash image - only the reflected one is available now
NB: Someone noted the reflected text is hard to see - it's as close as I could get it to the Hero one, and thus is very faded - if you tilt the top of your phone toward your eyes and "look down" on the phone, you'll definitely see it
Hope you like it
pushed the bootanimation only, it works great and looks great! thanks so much!
Welcome
When I get some more time, I'll add the faded mirror text under Sensation (like it was on the Hero originally) - but for a first stab, I'm happy
Ow, so lovely Thanks you made this, mate! That was the only thing I missed about my Hero!
Great work! Best boot animation for sensation so far!

this works on 2.3.4?
I can't get different boot animations to work. I place them in the /data/local folder, but nothing changes when I restart my phone. Also tried placing them in the /system/customize/resource folder... But nothing. Anyone know what gives?

If you are rooted (which you presumably are), get an adb shell up and run
Code:
find / -name *animation.zip
It will return any file ending animation.zip (such as bootanimation.zip) with the full path. If you have a TMOUS for example, I believe they put their file in the resource dir, whereas ARHD lives in /data/local
Find your existing one, and put your chosen ones in that location with the same name - just backup the old one first

mp3 file
hi,ive got the bootanimation to work but im finding it very very hard to get the sound working also,ive tried putting it in data/local didin't work...ive now got bootanimation in system/customize/resource and works PERFECTLY,i've tried puttin the mp3 file in system/media/ringtones........NO JOY........i've set permission to RW-R-R. Please could u tell me what i've done wrong........THANKS
It seems some custom roms vary.
Mine (ARHD) is quite happy in /data/local - called android_audio.mp3
Try calling it android.mp3, and putting in the resource directory.
Also, you don't need to reboot to try it, you can simply run adb shell, and run "bootanimation" from the # prompt
This thread (here) shows the anim being renamed as well, so it's a bit rom dependant!
Happy hunting though!

UPDATE: There is now a second splash image (splash_reflection.img) which has the Hero-style reflected text. I've yet to update this to the rest of the animation but it'll be coming...

Very good boot. Any plan to update?
If you do, any chance you can modify the splash/boot so that when transition is smoother?
Also, the Quitly Brilliant "Sound" is a little late compared to the animation.
Does the build.prop determine default file name and location for resources like splashes and boot animations?

Can't modify the splash/boot transition timing...
The splash.img is a ROM item (BMP converted directly from one of the JPGs in the anim), and the 1st graphic frame of the animation is the same dimensions/image (barring reflection) - it's how the phone O/S cuts over....
I should be able to work on the sound/sync - it's the exact audio file from the Hero, which I don't want to play with - so I may be able to shorten (or speed up ) the Sensation fade out so the audio is in quicker.
re: updating in general - I do plan to, but am a bit busy atm!

I believe under settings under Tweaks you can disable both the screen on and off animation.
Oh whoops you meant shutdown animation, my bad. Is anything listed under system/media?

If it's anything like the original LG rom, the shutdown animation is controlled by an apk. Try looking for and removing that.

As wewo said, the shutdown animation on the g2x is controlled by poweroff.apk it works pretty much the same as a boot animation but is controlled by a XML instead of a txt file. You might be able to delete the apk but idk what will happen if you do.
You could also pull the image folder out with 7zip and make them all black. I have a power off.apk made from weapons boot animation in my weapon new clip mod. Feel free to pull it and use it if you want.

You can disable it in the build.prop as well I believe. something like lg.poweroff=true changed to false.. but I'm going by memory here.

First of all, excuse me in advance for my english, I didn’t my best !!
I have the same problem. I have a LG-P999 (optimus G2X) with Videotron.
I easely change my bootanimation, but for the Poweroff animation, I didn’t find the way to change the animation after 3 days of recherche on the web….
If I desinstall the app with ‘’SystemApp remover’’ and I take the original APK file in ‘’/system/app/PowerOff.apk’’ the installation work well and when I closer the phone all is ok and the logo of videotron appear.
So I tried the tricks I saw on the web :
1 - Take the original ‘’PowerOff.apk’’ file, open it with ‘’winzip’’.Replace the .png file by other one in same format. Deleter the file ‘’/system/app/PowerOff.apk’’ and replace it by the modified one. Result, when I close the phone, the phone close and restart with no image. If I try to install the file, the installation doesn’t work.
2 - Take the original ‘’PowerOff.apk’’ file, open it with ‘’apkmanager’’. In the folder ‘’PowerOff.apk’’, I replace the .png file by other one in same format. After I Zip the modified folder ‘’PowerOff.apk’’ with ‘’apkmanager’’ and select system file. Deleter the file ‘’/system/app/PowerOff.apk’’ and replace it by the modified one. Result, when I close the phone, the phone close and restart with no image. If I try to install the file, the installation doesn’t work.
3 - If I take ‘’apkmanager’’ I extract the APK for code file (option 9) and after ZIP it (option 11) for system file, they ask me to select the file in the original apk file for the files who are not modified. If I select that the program import anything from the original file (with the logo of videotron). If I try to install the file, the installation works, but it’s a copy of the original…. If I didn’t choose the option the copy from the original file, I have the same problem of point no.2.
4 - If I dont desinstall the original ‘’PowerOff.apk’’ file but I remove it from the folder file ‘’/system/app/’’, the shutdown of the cell phone work normally with the logo of videotron…
So my question is, do they have anybody here who can read the code of the original file and say me if when I install it, it extract the ‘’.png’’ file in an other file in the cell phone ?? (Because of the point no.4)
Can you say me why I create a new apk file with ‘’apkmanager’’ I cannot install it on the phone, it give me an error and it only write ‘’the app have been not installed’’ or simething like that… Maybe, if I modify the file, the phone don’t recognize the news signature on it or something like that ???
Here is the link of the original file and the modified file :
w.w.w70.zippy share.com /v/35597416 /file.h.t.m. l
I looked up how to do this and it's supposed to be fairly simple: copy over your bootanimation.zip on your phone and using a root explorer put it into system>media. The folder is there on my phone, but there is no previously existing bootanimation.zip. I put the file in there anyways thinking it might work, but of course it didn't.
I'm running ViperOneS 2.2.0, so I went in the venom tweaks, but if I try checking 'Custom boot animation' it just crashes ("unfortunately venom tweaks has stopped").
I also found this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1637870&highlight=bootanimation+zip post and I tried using the described method but it didn't work.
Also, the way to change the power-on sound is supposedly also just as simple (system>sounds>poweron>PowerOn.mp3), but my system directory doesn't have a 'sounds' folder either.
**I went into system>customize>resource and replaced hTC_bootup_one.zip, bootanimation.zip, and _bootanimation.zip with my animation (one at a time, rebooting between each change) and still no luck - the boot screen just became the word ANDROID with an animated shine on it.
How in the world do I change the boot animation and boot sound for the HTC One S? Please help!

It could be in the custom folder. Just gotta look for it.
Go to bootanimation path on your Rom, and look if you applied permissions bootanimation is.
Perhaps not have applied and is not recognized, so it skips default Android bootanimation.
It is also possible that, animation isn´t correct or doesn´t have the speed in frames needed for this.
But this would make the black screen, and isn´t this case.
You can change this animation on desc.text in to your own bootanimation.
And sound is also in that route. sytem/customize/resources/android_audio.mp3
Replace it you want with the same format and name, and sound be posible at beginning of animation.
At least, in Sense 4 + has always been so ..
Do not forget to give permissions to this file also.
Hope you helped.
Or you could of course go to /system/customize/resource/ and change the name of bootanimation.zip to hTC_bootup_one.zip as thats the boot animation file. Also there is a down animation called hTC_downanimation.zip which can also be changed (when phone switches off). May i suggest instead of the long winded question you could have saved your keyboard some wear and tear by simply asking Google, and not being an arse its just Google should be everyones first step before creating new threads in wrong sections.

For boot sound you will take a mp3 file, rename it in HTC_Sense5_Boot.mp3 and put it in /system/ customize/ resource folder
This method work unfortunately on MaximusHD only....I tried with MagioRom 1.0.4 but don't work

This is true, but I found the way it sounds and does not have to be in MaximusHD.
Go to system / customize / CID / default.xml
Open this and reference the line where this makes ...
Code:
<BootAnimation animation="/system/customize/resource/hTC_bootup_one.zip" audio="/system/customize/resource/HTC_Sense5_Boot.mp3" />
Changing these, for this one.
Code:
<BootAnimation animation="/system/customize/resource/hTC_bootup_one.zip" audio="/system/customize/resource/android_audio.mp3" />
And save that.
Now we take audio file (bootsound) and rename it to android_audio.mp3 and copy in system/customize/resources/android_audio.mp3, applying the appropriate permissions.
Reboot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvick.
When starting again system will be playing the file selected by us.
I tried it on a 4.2.2 Rom that is neither sense5 MaximusHD or MagioRom. But this based on Stock Rom Sense5 too...and its running for me.
Interestingly also carries ElementalX kernel.

Ok, I make a flashable zip for sound boot

Good to know this.
You may also do it in downanimation, including the audio path to same file (default.xml). The form would be exactly the same. Never tried this, but it may also sound when turned off or rebooting.

I edited the default.xml on my Desire V (old, but good) and now i have boot sound. In fact, you can name the animations and sound file as you like, as long you edit the .xml accordingly.
Btw., i still don't have down animation on this phone, nor a down image. I'll work on it.
Hi
I rooted my HTC sensation T-Mobile smartphone. I wanted to get rid of the T-Mobile boot and down animations.
I changed the file names of TMOUS_bootanimation.zip and TMOUS_downanimation.zip by adding the .bak extension at the end of the names. These files were found in system/customize/resources
I no longer have the T-Mobile animation on startup but have only the default android animation.
I want to use the generic HTC boot animation as both my bootanimation.zip and downanimation.zip. I copied and replaced both files file in the directory already mentioned. I only get a black screen on shutdown.
I did notice that when I moved both files to system/media, the generic HTC animation worked on startup but not on shutdown.
I changed the permissions and ownerships of both files and nothing seems to work for the downanimation.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Agreed, if your on a tmobile Rom then it's highly likely that you will need to name your new down animation to exactly as it was before. Also what did you set the permissions to?
