..if you have a non-Rooted phone then it is a no as far as I can remember.
..if you want to get rid of those carrier logo, startup and shutdown screen.. then upgrade your firmware.
.. i have the original I9000 and updated the firmware to JG1 a few weeks back to remove the singtel carrier logo.. now, I can enjoy the full Galaxy S logo animation during startup and shutdown.

i would be interested into changing the galaxy S boot animation with a custom boot like the android robot pissing on the apple logo

so does someone succed in installing some less apple friendly logo

Using the samsung ROMs the only replacement you can get for boot animations are boot animations from other samsung androids that use the same *.QMG files to store the animation. These are QMAGE files, its a compressed file with all the image frames stored inside it.
We have to wait for a hacked kernel so we can use bootanimation.zip files like every other android phone.

I too would like to my boot animation. But for now all i can change is the shutdown

What the heck... a year thread rescue.

Just root your phone and follow the steps below
1. get your desired bootanimation (i cant point you to specific threads but here's my favorite )
2.once you get your desired bootanimation, place it on the root of your sdcard, (internal sd card not external)
its actually easy to replace your bootanimation once you learn how to install adb tool (i had this even before i owned an android phone coz its part of the android sdk)
3. all you have to do is type adb shell in command line
and these commands:
su
busybox mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system
busybox cp mnt/sdcard/bootanimation.zip system/media/
reboot
you're phone should reboot and you can see the changes immediately

[REQ]Bootanimation From OS 1.0

Im looking for the boot animation for OS 1.0. Can anyone help me out?

I'm Br1ck'd's guy who was looking for the boot animation for you over the weekend. The problem I'm running into is that every ROM I can find is in the *.nbh format, so there is no way I can actually go in and grab the information. However, I haven't given up, and if I do find a way I'll let you all know.

werd!

OK, so you're hosed with your request. Apparently, the boot animation is locked until at least Cupcake. So I can get you the Cupcake boot animation no sweat. But when I flashed my G1 back down to stock 1.0 there is no way to run Super User on it. You have root access, however when running something like Terminal Emulator and type "SU" you'll still get permission denied errors even though you have root access. Lame, I know.
So for giggles, I adb pulled every file from the root of the phone. No dice. There is no animations, period. Even searching every friggin' *.png file, there is nothing there for the boot animation. I can flash a new boot animation to the phone, but all that does is mask the original one, which is hidden somewhere in the *.nbh file. However, either I am not smart enough, or there is no way to do it as of yet, but I cannot get into the *.nbh file, period.
So I figured "OK, I'll try an emulator". That also failed, as the earliest emulator I can find is the emulator for Cupcake. So I then tried to use the emulator to flash a different ROM, which failed because as it reboots it goes back to stock Cupcake. Which is lame (they should really have a save state or something).
The next step I tried was downloading an older version of the Android SDK. Again, nothing available to me until Cupcake. I could have possibly loaded it in Eclipse, but I don't have Eclipse and don't prefer to have Eclipse, and I doubt that it would have made a difference since searching every folder in the SDK packs turned up nothing. I even loaded the SDK packs on my Mac, just in case there was a different set of files. Nothing.
Since I'm still on 1.0 I did try to do an ADB Shell, but any command gives me permissions issues. It's probably because of the root issue with the stock image. I don't really know, I just know I can't do it.
So my final attempt was that I downloaded a *.nbh explorer for the Windows 7 phones, but it doesn't work because of the signing issues.
Ultimately, you're not going to be getting the boot animation from me. I've tried and failed Sorry man. Good luck though!

You mean the "Glowing Android" bootanimation?
I was looking for it a few weeks ago, and made my own with the resources in the 1.0 build.
It's 800x480, you might have to resize it to 320x480.

Quick and Easy Bootanimation.zip Swap for the G2

****Disclaimer!!! I am not responsible for any errors or issues that may come from using these directions. This method has been tested and used by me on the T-Mobile G2 ONLY.****
Ok, I like playing with boot animations on my device. And I have this quirk for running everything I can on the device, rather than through ADB, unless I have to. While digging through assorted threads, here and abroad, I ran across a nifty app called GScript lite, free on the Market, and amazingly useful. On another thread, someone pointed out that if you copy a boot animation to /data/local, it will take precedence over any boot animations that your favorite ROM may install. So, I decided to simplify changing boot ani's, so I can swap them around whenever I feel like it. I now have it down to about 30 sec, and decided to post this for everyone interested to try it. Ok, so, here's the details;
Requirements: GScript lite, file manager, new boot animations
1) Download the animation you want to try to your SDcard
2) Copy the zip to /mnt/sdcard
3) Rename animation file "bootanimation.zip"
4) Open GScript and hit menu
a) Type in whatever you want to call the script in the top
box
b) Make sure "Needs SU?" is checked
c) Type cp /mnt/sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local
<enter>
reboot
d) Now hit "save"
5) Just press your scriptname in the list and enjoy!
From here on out, to change boot animations, all you need to do is copy the renamed file to SD root, and click on that script, phone will reboot showing your brand new animation. "Share and Enjoy!"
I'd like to thank the GScript devs for a very useful tool, and Kaanha for the commands
Click the Thanks button if this helps you.

Nice...definitely makes switching them pretty simple. Thanks!

Works like a charm!!!!
Thanks Much!!!

There are a few apps on the Market that can do this as well, no Terminal knowledge required (or scripts)
Simply search for your bootanimation from the GUI and it should do the job for you...
Boot Animation Changer Lite comes to mind, it's free.
There are a few other ones if you search for bootanimation on the Market.
Hope this helps. Good luck

perfect, worked like a charm, enjoying my honeycomb animation now. thank you.

[Q] Custom Boot Screen help

(idk if this is the right section for this post)
So I'm trying to make a custom boot screen for my G2. I made a png in photoshop thats 480 by 800 and put it in bootanimation.zip and all that. I put it in /system/media replacing the previous bootscreen.zip (the MIUI one because I'm using that rom). The problem is that, when I reboot my phone after the HTC splash screen, it just shows a black screen until the phone is done booting. I might have something wrong in the desc file or maybe i need to make my pic 24-bit or something. Any help would be great. I'll include the file and the image, because the image is awesome.
My image is supposed to look like the THX logo that is sometimes at the beginning of movies, except it says HTC. Eventually, if I get this to work, I might make it animated and add sound to be like the THX thing.

Anyone? Does anyone here have any suggestions? Or should I put this in Android Q&A

I'm not sure what your problem is, I just go into terminal emulator and do
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
cp /filelocation/bootanimation.zip /system/media/
which I believe is pretty much the same thing you've been doing, but your picture is way cool! if you end up getting it working you should share it

I want it now, but with sound and animation. Please, make it now. I'd even pay .99 for it.

duh, read things properly chris

[Solved] Boot Animation Help

Ok, I have been pulling my hair out over this creating a boot animation process! Here are the things I have tried:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/tutorial-and-step-by-step-guide-to-creating-boot-animations/
This is a great tutorial and I am pretty sure I am following it correctly, but when I install the one I created I get a black screen instead of a boot animation.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678540&highlight=create+boot+animation
This is a nice little tool, and I used it. I created the animation, previewed the animation and it all looks good and appears to work. That is until I install it on my phone, I have even tried to use the program to push to my phone, but I don't think it likes me. All I get a black screen instead of the boot animation.
I have changed the permissions to rw--r--r.
I have created the desc.txt with Notepad++ and windows based notepad.
I am saving it into system/media.
I am verifying the name is "bootanimation.zip".
I have tried to use ROM Toolbox to install it but still get a black screen.
The dimensions are 480x800 and FPS is 30.
I am running the CM10 Global ROM build 1 by DKStunna108
Here is the file if someone has time to look at it and see if something looks off: http://d-h.st/I1Y
Any help would greatly be appreciated, I am just not sure what I am doing wrong...it is probably something easy that I am over looking.
