[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.

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.

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

Change bootanimation on ICS?

Is there any way to change boot animation on Samsung Galaxy R ICS 4.0.4? I tried something i found here on forum and now i dont have any boot animation and i wanted a ICS stock animation :crying:

Not stock ICS, but this is greatest boot animation I saw so far, and SGS3 shut down animation, so first U must be rooted to do this or any system modification...
Those are just files in .rar archive, so not for flashing with CWM or something similar. Just decompress-copy-paste files in their respectiv system folders.
First unpack, now Boot archive contains two files and you should place them in SYSTEM/MEDIA folder, second one is shut down animation and place this file in
SYSTEM/MEDIA/VIDEO/SHUTDOWN folder, use root explorer (paid but great), or solid explorer (free) or any other explorer with root permissions :victory:

Liked the shut down animation very much.
Is there any other boot animation available?
I'm already having the boot animation provided here as i'm in Neo Rom v3. Need a change

Procedure for changing Bootanimation in any ROM
Hi Friends,
Below is the procedure for changing the Boot animation in any ICS ROM. But it has one limitation. You have to be in the below attached ardatdat 4.1 kernel to have the Boot animation working. Thanks to wanamsmile
Make a backup of bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg from /system/media and remove them
Now make a backup of samsungani and bootanimation from /system/bin
Download the attached samsungani and bootanimation (Unzip the package) and paste it into /system/bin. It will overwrite the existing files
You can get any of the custom bootanimation file. The name shud be bootanimation.zip. One custom bootanimation file is given here
Place the file in /system/media
Download the attached ardatdat 4.1 (modified) and place it in ur sdcard
Reboot to CWM and flash the kernel
Reboot the mobile. Now u will have new custom bootanimation

Is it possible to do it with ardatdat's 4.2 b6 kernel?

You should know diffwrent about boot logo (splash screen) which dark bg and write samsung galaxy ....
If you want to change this you need to search for original splash flash zip because after change it . It can only change back by flash original one. It not change though you change rom or factory reset.
Boot animation is easier to change. Just go to thread that share boot animation downliad flash zip and flash it. If you nandroid backup your rom first , you can always restore . Or you may copy original qmg file to somewhere.

[ROOT] [HD 10] Customize your boot animation

I finally figured out what was stopping a custom boot animation from being installed onto the HD 10 running stock FireOS. This guide will show you how to replace the boot animation, to just about anything you want. For reference, we are using my favorite Android boot animation from Marshmallow, but there is Lollipop boot animation as well. You need to be rooted in order to complete this guide.
****THIS MAY NOT WORK FOR YOUR TABLET. RESULTS CAN VARY. YOU ARE PERFORMING THIS GUIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK. WORST CASE SCENERIO: NO BOOT ANIMATION (MUST REFLASH YOUR CURRENT VERSION OF FIRE OS TO RESTORE IT)****
1. Download the Marshmallow boot animation zip from this thread (1080p is perfect) to your internal storage. Using a root explorer, open the zip file and tap system then media and extract 'bootanimation.zip' to your internal storage.
2. Download 'bootanimation.zip' at the end of this post and extract the 'bootanimation' file to your desktop PC or the internal storage of your tablet. (THIS IS NOT A FLASHABLE ZIP FILE)
3. Again, using a root explorer, navigate to /system/bin and make a copy the 'bootanimation' file and back it up to a folder in your storage. Now copy the 'bootanimation' file you downloaded in step 2 and paste it in /system/bin, overwriting the existing one. Make sure to set the permissions of the file to rwxr-xr-x
4. Using a root explorer again, go back to your internal storage and copy the 'bootanimation.zip' you extracted earlier in step 1. Then navigate to /system/media and paste 'bootanimation.zip'. Set the permissions to rw-r--r--
5. Reboot and watch your animation. See video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lmNGAn_YIY
HOW?
The answer was in /system/bin. Amazon modified the 'bootanimation' file in /system/bin so only their boot animation is the one used. If you had only placed the zip in /system/media, the animation would animate for a few seconds, freeze and just before the end of booting, would start to animate again. I tried portrait and landscape. I tried different resolutions. I tried different animations and every one of the animations would freeze. I opened up the ROM for the Fire 7 (Fire Nexus ROM by @ggow) and copied the 'bootanimation' file from /system/bin over to the stock FireOS ROM on the HD 10, and set the proper permissions. Problem solved!
Updates:
January 11, 2019: The bootanimation-STOCK.zip attached below, contains the stock FireOS bootanimation. Simply delete the bootanimation.zip in /system/media (if there is one). Extract/unzip the bootanimation-STOCK.zip into internal storage and copy/paste the bootanimation file to /system/bin, overwriting the one there.

Awesome post, as always, Mr. DragonFire1024

Heads up. If you simply overwrite the file in /system/bin with the bootanimation file (not the zip) and reboot, you get a surprise. I don't want to ruin it With that said, if someone could extend that animation a little...

Should be able to copy the .zip from /system/media to the same folder on the HD 10. The worst that can happen is it won't work (but won't break anything. You may get a black screen until the booting finishes) or the graphics will be too small.
Edit: still need to overwrite the bootanimation file in system/bin no matter what animation you want to use. It just needs to be done once

I just tested that out. Thanks for the info! Works great.

I cannot, regardless of what I do, get this to work.
I have followed the instructions - exactly - multiple times now.
I have tried numerous bootanimation.zip, including the one linked to in OP.
Files are in the proper locations, file permissions are set as specified.
It doesn't matter if I have the zip in /system/media or not, I get a black screen until UI loads.
Power on --> amazon logo --> black screen --> UI, no matter what I seem to do.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is driving me nuts, I just don't understand what I'm missing or doing wrong.

I can't either. I tried after reading your comment.
No zip in /media, restored bootanimation in /bin to the original, still just a black screen during boot.
So this broke the bootanimation altogether.
Edit: I will add that my stock OS was 5.6.0.1. I suspect something has changed from previous versions, what was your stock version? What was OP's?

You have to place the bootanimation.zip in /system/media after overwriting the file in /system/bin. Unzip the animation in the link in OP. There will be another zip inside it. that's the zip you use.

Yeah I follow, and I did so several times. I can't even revert to having the stock "fire" boot animation.
Following the guide effectively broke my boot animation altogether. Again, I cannot even go back to having the original boot animation. Same thing the guy who replied after me reported as well.

Yes, I have, numerous times. As I have said.
I'm going to flash my system.img backup and see if that restores the stock boot animation, because nothing else has.
Edit: dd-ing my system.img of my post-root supersu backup restored my boot animation to stock.
Final Edit/Update:
Confirming that this does indeed work. I'm not sure what exactly I did the first time, but it completely botched the boot animation.
dd'd system.img (I had other compelling reasons to anyway), followed the instructions again, exactly as they are written.
I didn't even extract the zip on PC and then push, I did it all in ES.
The first time I did this I think I had some sort of permission issues (had to delete bootanimation and then paste the replacement, couldn't overwrite), and I suspect that combined with a little user error ruined boot animation. Anyway, thank you for the guide @DragonFire1024. This is a little thing, but completely worth it, imo.

Very strange but glad it worked. You can now have just about any boot animation you can find. Simply replace the zip in /system/media, give permissions, reboot. Just make sure to have the right resolution ?

I still have no idea where I messed it up. It seems like ES wasn't actually in Root Explorer, it showed the permissions as being set, but they definitely weren't.
Was weird that I could delete then paste bootanimation in /bin but not overwrite.
Of course, right after I got this working I used a boot animation that wasn't the right resolution.
I thought 1440p would just look better, not give me a bootloop
I've spent way too much time on merely changing the boot animation. :laugh:
