[Q] Changing Milestone Boot Logo ????

Hi
Can anybody help me in changing my milestone 2.1 boot logo?
I already rooted it and can do some changes like bootanimation using terminal emulator but can't find a way to change this boot logo.
Thanks a lot for reply.

I have also rooted my phone with GOT's Open Recovery, and done a backup with Nandroid, but was wondering how can I change that opening sequence.
I've downloaded some boot animations in .zip with the following structure:
\
\desc.txt
\part0
\part0\01.png
\part0\02.png
...
Where should I place the .zip or the folder with that content??
Thanks in advance.

May I know your phone model?
If it's Motorola Milestone, I can help.

Indeed, it is a Motorola Milestone.

When you have all the desc.txt and the part files you zip them Using store Then this .zip is placed in system > media there should already be one there.

Sorry, I'm afraid I didn't understand you.
How can I gain access to that folder if it's in the internal memory of the phone? Once that's done, should I overwrite the .zip stored in system\media?

Install Android Terminal Emulator from market and give permission to Superuser access.
Put bootanimation.zip folder in your sd card root.
Run Terminal Emulator and type the followings as exactly.
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2/dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
dd if=/sdcard/bootanimation.zip of=/system/media/bootanimation.zip
reboot
You should see some processing as you typed in the third line.
If you see the error, there might be a typo and retype the third line.
After reboot, you will see the custom bootanimation of your choice.
PS- There are many custom bootanimation.zip files out there and you can download them for free.
Hope this can help.

I had to put bootanimation.zip to /data/local and then it worked flawlessly.

Have you ever tried to change the Milestone boot logo? Is there a bit easy way to do it than the way like backing up with Nandroid, flashing the ROM and update again?

I'm not sure its possible to change the motorola logo, with the locked bootloader and kernel
correct me if i'm wrong

DroidX bootanimation, renamed to bootanimation.zip in /system/media ?

bootanimation and bootlogo are different.
bootlogo is the one u see first after reboot and bootanimation is the one with the animated features (actually .png files).
For my case, my bootlogo is our local teleco's one and probably Motorola put it as a default when they shipped for Singapore.
So they might use locked bootloader and kernel to prevent changing it.
For bootanimation, that zip file is in /system/media and you can swap it with another bootanimation at anytime.
But the case is you can't simply copy and paste it using Market Apps like "Root Explorer" or "AndExplorer" or smth like those as the /system/media folder is readonly.
So I used terminal emulator to change the bootanimation.
I could change it successfully but I still can't find my way to change the bootlogo so if anyone ever tried and changed it successfully, pls share your ways.
Thanks.

Yes. For getting it to work it has to be put into /data/local (at least for me)

I can tell you where you'll find the files for changing the boot loader, but it won't be of any use:
Unpack the boot.img of the stone and there you'll find it somewhere, but since you have to repack the modified boot image again and flash it, you'll notice that it won't boot anymore because the signature has changed...so until they don't unlock their boot.img nothing can be done IMHO.

rename PowerOn.ogg to 1_Power_on.ogg
or replace any other .ogg sound file in system/etc
or redownload poweronsound.zip and redo the process of coping and replacing

Never mind it works now. I guess the dev didn't include boot sound in the rom he did an update and now it works.

hey, the animations are great but the problem is the bootsamsungloop.qmg and bootsamsung.qmg appears small on my galaxy note. any ideas why? or does anyone have the correct size?
EDIT: nevermind i found the problem.. i'm only changing the files inside the system/media folder, didn't think you also should change the one inside data/local haha! thanks!

you are awesome sir
EDIT: nevermind, i figured it out. i tried deleting the bootanimation.zip and just copied the 2 .qmg files and the animation went pretty fast like normal. thank again for the stock animations! now will look for the S3 version of the boot animation. the shutdown's fine but the boot animation is all fuzzed up (saw a thread with the stock .qmg files of the s3).

links and animations fixed and updated.

Guys, is this boot animation exactly the same from Galaxy Nexus? For example, it will fit completely inside Galaxy Note screen?
And if I use this file, later I can change again to another file without any problems, right? For example, to the boot animation ZIP file from Jelly Bean.

Cool!! Finally the stock Samsung logo boot animation.
Is it possible to get a higher resolution??
Thanks mate!

[HOW TO] Restore S4 Samsung BootAnimation (Root Required)

How to Restore Original Samsung bootanimation for phones that have custom startup animations by Carriers:
The procedure is simple but demands Root and a file manager also whit Root permission (personally I use Root Explorer).
1 - Download and unzip the file
S4_Original_BootAnimation_ChristhianC here: Download
2 - With Root Explorer navigate to the folder:
system/media
copy and paste replacing the original files with 2 available
bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg
(or rename your original files before replacing)
3 - Now go to the folder:
system/media/video/shutdown
and replace the file shutdown.qmg
4 - You can set permissions as rw-r--r--
to new files
5- If you want to disable bootup sound go to:
system/media/audio/ui
and search for PowerOn.ogg
Just rename it to
PowerOn.ogg.backup (or any other extension).
Well done!
Ready, restart the device and now you have the animation, startup and shutdown, without Logos from carriers.
As yet we not have the CWM recovery is still not useful to build a zip file for that. At the appropriate time I will do it!
This procedure has been tested OK!
Regards

THANK YOU! got rid of the Telstra branding on boot!
also don't forget to set permissions!!!

Cheers, all working as it should.
Incidentally, i renamed my old boot animations first to keep them in case I need them again and they don't seem to interfere at all.

Does this work for the US S4s? Specifically sprint?

[HOW TO] Restore S4 Samsung BootAnimation

make sure you rename or delete the existing files and tap the very top button that says r/w on top of root explorer, now out of the 9 boxes uncheck the middle boxes of both files

thanks
thanks

Thanks
Thank you so much- after a day of trying to figure out how to change this start up your instructions and information was perfect and easy to the T.

can someone be kind enough to make a flashable zip to go back to stock? meaning the mobile version?

scholastica sorry for my translation, but I've tried this. I do not work so I leave this issue here. then, I have put a bootanimation already put me at the time of placing a CWN recovery. I can remove if I go to this address: system / bin / bootanimation. okay? then .. that I did it? get this file that has no file type online. for example, take it from a rom cwm and replace to give the necessary permissions as the other files in the bin folder. not achieved and I change the bootanimation. moreover, scholastova the bootanimation.zip folder. I've tried other directions. I do not remember. I have watched many tutorials and I get nothing.
I can not do that ...

Ok, let's try again. First, go to system / bin / and open file: bootanimation with text editor. Find text: bootanimation (see attachment). As you can see, the name of bootanimation file is not bootanimation.zip but bootanimation_mtk.zip. Now do the same thing, may be you have to change the name of bootanimation.zip file to something else. CLUE: Follow the address and the name as written in system / bin / bootanimation file.
I hope it works!
