[MOD]Bootanimation4U - Add custom bootanimation to any rom

This will add the ability to use a custom bootanimation on any rom with any kernel and probably any samsung device.
It has been tested on the Note II but should work with any samsung device that uses samsungani to load boot animations. If it doesn't work for you please post here.
Uses the typical settings bootanimation is at /system/media/bootanimation.zip, this is for those using a stock rom or a rom the dev didn't add it in.
I included the Google Gears bootanimation too. Flash the file in recovery. The attachment is a flashable zip not bootanimation.zip.
The updater-script uses busybox to mount the partitions, so if it doesn't flash correctly install busybox from an app on the play store then try again.
Edited the attachment, now includes the bootanimation binary just in case in bootanimation4u.zip, there is also another one named Bootanimation4U.Samsungani.Only that only edits samsungani.
If /system/bin/bootanimation exists flash the Bootanimation4U.Samsungani.Only.zip
How to use:
Add bootanimation.zip to /system/media
Flash Bootanimation4U.zip in recovery
If you want sound add an ogg file named PowerOn.ogg to /system/media/audio/ui, if sound doesn't work be sure /system/bin/samsungpowersoundplay exists if its there it will play sound if not its not included in your rom download it HERE then put it where it belongs and fix the perms which should be rwxr-xr-x
Reboot...Enjoy
Here is a method to get some bootanimations thanks to ReelFiles:

Awesome!
1. Make a backup just in case.
2. Flash bootanimation4u.zip from recovery (I use TWRP).
3. Reboot and install Boot Animations Root from the Play Store.
4. Go into the app's preferences and change install location to /system/media/ and leave the default filename (bootanimation.zip) and go back to the main screen.
5. Select any bootanimation from the Server tab and hit Install. (Tablet ones at the bottom of the list look best.)
6. Select the installed bootanimation again and hit Resize. Set it to 720x1280 30FPS.
7. Tap the options key and select "Preview current" Make sure you like it and reboot.
I use the Tablet - Shatter one, it looks like the one from the Jedi Roms, but higher quality.
If you Preview a few different ones and then decide to use one you downloaded earlier, delete it first then install and resize it again, or the preview will just be a black screen and might not work at all.
I believe you can preview before installing the animation if you buy the Pro version.

Works&looks great. ...very simple. ..and easy to install in TWRP.
Now. ..if we could have the same thing with the shut down animation to install this way...that would be ideal.
Thank you for this..it is sweet.

Does flashing this effect anything else? Since your flashing partitions?

No it only uses busybox to mount system to copy files. It makes it flashable on most devices without using specific blocks. Ie. Mmcblk0p13

Ok, so this will prevent the boot loop caused by adding bootanimation.zip's manually on samsung devices? (vzw gs3 running aosp).
Does the flash of your mod stick between rom flashes, or flash each time?

I don't thing it belongs to development, since the mod is already known and that's why i already posted something like this on General with both methods (manual and CWM)

Worked perfectly on my SIII i747, flashed thru CWM. Thanks!:good:

doesn't work for me on my tmo note 2
but then again I havent been able to get any custom boot screens to work at all regardless of manually adding them or using an apk to do it for me...
after flashing bootanimation4u should i see an app in my app tray upon boot up? i don't see an app by that name
I'm using busybox v1.20.2 and it's installed in system/xbin
(i used jrummy's busybox installer app)

No app, what rom are you using and what kernel ? Sounds rom/kernel related this should work with no problems. Is there a file called samsungani and bootanimation in system/bin ? And lastly what does it do when it boots ? Black ? Samsung logo ?

you need to enable custom boot animations, go to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31833122&postcount=4 and download these files:
CWM_CustomBootanimation_421_Enable.zip
CWM_CustomBootanimation_421_Disable.zip
flash the Enable zip and then flash the custom boot animation, if you want to enable again the stock boot animation then just flash the Disable zip and that's it...

works great

Dont want to destroy your enthusiasm towards the bootanimations but can you share this here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2339179

Sorry man, I didn't see your thread, all the explanation was there already
kenn7, try to put the bootanimation.zip in data/local and see if it works, you can also ask in the thread of your ROM, may be there is another method for that specific ROM

yeh absolutely.
i tried also that.
didn't work..
i can try again for sure.
but my first doubt is if i need that 'busybox' or not, after rooting or not.

It might or it might not be, I haven't seen the script in the zip file... but you can try, as I usually run custom roms then pretty much all of them have busybox already, if you don't have it, look in the Play Store for busybox and install it using the free version (you'll need root of course).

Hi,
Jelly Bean with the Nexus 5... Something is wrong here :laugh:, you are in the N5 section...
I don't know which device you have... Test and see but first make a Nandroid backup...
I you have the path /system/media/bootanimation.zip it's ok, but maybe the flashable zip won't work (due to the updater.script)... So inside the zip file, copy the bootanimation.zip file to /system/media, set the correct permissions like the previous file or set to rw-r--r--), then reboot.

Does the CM install remove the Moto G ringtoned? If so, how do I get them back?

I think the stock had specific ringtones but I'm not sure. I didn't use it for very long.
Ideally I would like to have both the motorola and CM ringtones available.
thank you

Custom roms remove the stock ringtones. I asked this question a while back but no one answered so I guess it isn't possible.

It is possible as far as I know, just copy them from the system folder and put them in the new one, give permissions and they should be there when you reboot

Inside you can find the downloads for the stock ringtones in case you already installed CM or dont have root. (MEGA link works fine)

Errrr.... FYI you can read /system.... Just copy the files. You can't modify however. (Without root)
