Hi everyone, I changed my boot animation using the app Boot Animation Changer. However now I need to return my phone to the store so I kind of need to get it back to the original boot animation. With the app I did "Stock animation" however it's not the right animation lol.
Is there anywhere I can get the stock boot animation to put on my phone, and how to do so with/without the app?
Thanks everyone

<ps, search first>
Great topic, but it doesn't provide the stock boot animation like I'm looking for, only the means to change the boot animation. I tried to search for it actually, but couldn't find anything in regards to finding the original EVO boot animation.
Anyone? Can't seem to find the stock animation.
^^; Doesn't anyone have a backup they could provide?
here is the stock bootanimation: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VMX4Z1ZG
you could also find it on any rom that uses stock bootanimation like DC (extract the zip file, go to resources>customize> and the bootanimation.zip should be there)

Oh I had no idea about it being on the ROMs, that would've been a lot easier. Thanks. :lol:
Though now with the new OTA I'm somewhat afraid to replace my phone, might just stick with my phone and the light leak as long as it doesn't get any worse.

Hi
Im looking for the original startup animation.
I dont have it on my phone becouse i use an custom firmware. So im asking if its someone that could share it to me?
It should be in system/media/video/startup
something like that
Use the search button -->"bootsamsung.qmg"
for me, my bootsamsung files are in the system/media folder but it doesn't actually do the boot animation just the normal galaxy S splash screen. No idea, might be the samset kernal or the lag fix but i find it odd that the file is there but it doesn't play it..
I used oclf 2.0 from the market.
There is a option called restore boot animation, It worked for me after i used a lagfix.
Hello all,
Well I am currently using CM7 [build 12, downloading 13 as I type] but my question is I want to change from the Cyanogenmod animation, not that its bad, but I like my own. I have previously changed animations before and also changed my splash screen, so I know how to change them, though I am using CW3, I have tried some that were edify compatible, and clockwork says it flashed, but once re-booted, it is still Cyanogen. I have tried manually flashing, adb, and the "pushboot" method. I also changed the animation zip file in the rom, to the animation of the Android scribble and then re-flashed it. The image changed from Cyanogen, but it was just a Android in metalics that flashed, not the above image. Can anyone help me? Thank you in advance.
Hmm.. I have no issues changing my boot animations on cm7..
So not sure why its not working for you but make sure your file is named bootanimation.zip and that your installing it to.. system/media/
i am new to this site and i am wondering a few things, i really like the whole just droid boot animation and stuff but i don't know how to add that, i know how to add roms and stuff i have them on right now idr which one since i keep changing looking for a one with a cool boot animation and lock screen i was so sick of the evo's slide down i rooted my phone..
if anyone could inform me how to like add on to a rom, i like apply the zip of the rom but i can't do anything else i tried adding a zipped theme but it didnt work and said aborted.

You didn't have to root to change the lockscreen. You can fully customize it with Widgetlocker. It's a few bucks, but more than worth it. Look it up & check out the WL themes thread as well, there's some great stuff there.
I wouldn't base my rom on the bootanimation & lockscreen, as both can easily be changed. To change the bootanimation, you either need a flashable zip specific for your rom, knowledge of adb, or Root Explorer or another root-level file explorer. Find the boot animation you want to use and download it. If it isn't a flashable zip, you'll need to know where your rom stores the boot animation. On Sense based roms, the boot animation is stored in system/customize/resource. With Root Explorer (or an alternative) change the name of the original boot animation, and move the one you want to that folder, ensuring it's named bootanimation.zip then set permissions.
There are threads with lists of boot animations available to download, or apps that allow you to browse/install from their list.
If you're having trouble flashing through recovery, I suggest switching to Amon Ra. Whatever you tried to flash was probably amend scripted. Once you've switched recoveries, remember to do a backup!
I also suggest learning more about being rooted before making any significant changes. Know what & why you're doing something before you do it. Good luck & have fun
First post, but I believe I have done due diligence in reading up on this issue.
I really love reading the posts and have found several of them useful, but I just haven't done a lot of posting... until now.
Does anyone else hate that stupid Sprint 4G animation????
I recently flashed MikG and the only thing that I don't love about this rom is the boot animation. It has the standard Sprint animation. I see there are plenty of other cool animations, so I wanted to update this.
I went and renamed the sprint spc_bootanimation.zip and have placed several different boot animation zips in the system/customize/resource folder (one after the other). Sprint animation goes away, but no matter which version of the bootanimation.zip I put in it's place, I get the same results. My boot animation is always a black screen with small light letters on it spelling "android". There is kind of a cloud animation scrolling behind the letters. Always the same no matter which bootanimation.zip I put in place.
I've tried the adb push method, the boot replacer program, and just copying the file to the proper location (several different files in fact) (using explorer v1.0 folder is mounted r/o) with the same results. I found a cool one on the collection page that was flashable, but it ended up having an error in the code and aborted.
Gotta get rid of that Sprint sales advertisement and get some cool looking animation that you guys have cooked up!
Any thoughts would be much appreciated!
ROM: MikG 1.03 Sense 2.1+3.0
Android 2.3.3

That's the default ANDROID animation. Aosp. Find a boot that flashes or Google uot theme kitchen and make your own file to flash; just choose the boot animstion
Gimme a couple a days to come up with a new sig that is cool.
I am running that same rom. No problems changing the boot animation. I push rom> reboot> power down > push boot animation located on sd card in recovery>
here is the honeycomb boot animation I am using:
Okay have it figured out now.....
Had the file going in the correct location. Needed to modify the permissions of the file to match the other files in that folder & renamed the file "spc_bootanimation.zip" in lieu of "bootanimation.zip". Working great now.
Thanks for all of your assistance!
Loving this ROM!
I found out you just need to have it named spc_bootanimation.zip

Hello All.
I don't know if anyone else has tried this yet, but I'm trying to get Boot Animations to actually play the animations during boot. I have ROM Toolbox Pro and have installed and randomized several animations, but none of them play. I flashed some zip (that I deleted and can't remember) in TWRP and although it was really tiny, it played fine.
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

You have to have a rom/kernel that allows bootanimation.zip as the stock file type is .qmg

Thanks KillaHurtz. Got it. I didn't know that. Do you know how/why the zip I flashed in TWRP worked? Is there any way to translate that functionality? I hate the stock T-Mobile boot animation. For a tech-head Flashaholic like myself, I find it so, so, very "Common."
Sorry Nobody knows why
