..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

please upload a copy of that if you do make it, i'll love to install it on my SGS as well
Found the shutdown boot animation in /system/media/video
try editing the pictures then push the video folder back to /system/media to change the shutdown will look around for the boot up

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

Hey all,
Just made a splash image that I think you guys might appreciate. My friend showed me the picture and I decided to do the necessary changes to make it into a splash.
For your viewing pleasure
To flash: Download the zip then with an unlocked (S-OFF) bootloader, flash the new_splash.img file to your phone:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash splash1 new_splash.img
fastboot reboot
i would rather have it as a background
my boot image shows 1 micro second. not worth even thinking about changing it.
Well the png is there too so u can use it as a background I guess

Does it work to flash this lb other Android systems like 2. 1/ 2. 2k any experiences?
Thx guys

This is just a splash image file so as long as your screen size is 480 x 800. You can search for how to change the splash image for your particular phone and then just use this file. I'm sure it will work on any version of android
Anyone have the adb commands handy for pulling the stock splash image just in case I want to put it back?
This is a copy of the original splash that I found in another thread.
did that last attachment post?
lets try that again. this is the default splash.

Even though the original splash is posted, the commands to pull the old one are to be executed from a root shell and are as follows:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19 of=/mnt/sdcard/splash.img
You may have to do a search for it because when I pulled mine it put it into a random folder on my computer
Running HaXspresso on my wife's MT3GS -- awesome ROM, and she really loves it!
...EXCEPT for the sound that goes with the boot animation.
I've tried installing different boot animation zip files into /system/media but it looks like this ROM uses some other location for the boot animation.
So I'm wondering if anybody has ideas on how I can disable that boot sound?

its under system/customize/resource/ its called TMO_Bootup_sound.mp3 if you have S-OFF you can just delete it using root explorer or some app like that, if not you can do this:
go into recovery, plug your usb cable and using adb type adb remount first, adb shell and then type cd system/customize/resource after that type rm TMO_Bootup_sound.mp3 (with the capitals and all, otherwise it wont delete it) and then reboot, it should be gone
I dont know if there is any easier way to do it (u can delete the file from the rom zip file, wipe and reflash it but you would have to do a backup of the apps and all that so xD) if anyone know an easier way please share it
Cool!
I just didn't know where the file was located to delete it.
I ended up running ADB shell in recovery, but it worked out just fine. No more boot sound to annoy my wife! Yay!

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
So i've researched all morning and there is simply nothing to be found. I have a bootanimation.zip the COD one if it matters. And I've tried putting in in system/media, changing the samsungboot and samsungbootloop files, tried putting it in data/local, tried changing its permissions. The most i've accomplished is turning off the boot animation. Could someone help with getting my bootanimation.zip as my bootup?
Upload your boot.zip I'll check it out for you

wow, hey thanks, mate. Anything you could do would be much appreciated.
And this is the sound file associated with it.... well it actually won't let me upload the mp3, but here is the origional thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=904350
I've read that its a propriety samsung file, the .qmg you have in the system/media. Since i don't know the samsung specifics they add onto the ics os, the only thing i can assume is that one would have to do a one for one switch. Which means i would have to do whatever samsung did and convert the bootanimation.zip with all its images into a bootsamsung.qmg file and replace the thing directly. I also ready and downloaded the samsung theme designer http://innovator.samsungmobile.com/cms/cnts/knowledge.detail.view.do?platformId=13&cntsId=11264, which was said to edit these specific files, but so far no luck.
This is no fun talking to myself, common you guys with experience pipe up and steer me here. But as i was experiencing, just the samsung theming software isn't enough, apparently from what i've read it would cost big bucks to get what you need to create a full on .qmg bootanimation file. So a lot of guys have turned to pulling stuff from full on roms which have just enabled the ios to go off of a bootanimation.zip instead of samsungs stuff. I completely forgot to mention, i'm running rooted stock ics, and don't want to flash any new roms seeing as jelly bean official is on the horizon. So i guess what i'm wondering now is what do you devs do to enable the OS to boot from a .zip???
Your current ROM and Kernel must be able to support bootanimation.zip files. Otherwise, you'll have to create/convert it to sanim.zip
assuming i want to stay on the stock rom, do you know of a writeup or something specific on this sanim.zip, i;m coming up short on my google searches
I'm not giving up on this, i really want that COD boot screen.
Dude I'm sorry I was looking for your post. I'm working on it as soon as I get off work today. I'll get back to you with the solution. (Hopefully soon)

Assuming you have root, do this :
adb shell
$ su
# mv /system/bin/samsungani /system/bin/samsungani.bk
# mv /system/bin/bootanimation /system/bin/samsungani
# chmod 0755 /system/bin/samsungani
# exit
$ exit
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/sanim.zip
(not sure which animation the binary looks for, so pushed twice)
That should do it.
Hey thanks so much i'll give it a try. I'm using the sonic rom but not much seems to have changed. How do i access the abd shell and this command window?
Basically I want to get rid of the AT&T logo from the boot screen because I'm unlocked and on another carrier.
I've been trying to work out how to do this but to no avail. Apparently I need to hard root by doing this:
(from androidcommander.com)
Edit your boot image.
Pull out your boot.img.
Unpack.
Edit default.prop file, set value „ro.debuggable” to „1″.
Re-Pack.
Flash.
Can anyone tell me how to actually do this or if it's even possible on the Captivate Glide?
The AT&T logo at boot isn't part of the boot.img, that's the boot animation. Samsung uses their own format for the bootanim, so you can't just replace it with one of the thousands out there, but you should be able to replace it with the bootanim from another samsung phone. I'll see if I can dig up the link where someone replaced it with the anim from an SGIII.

I know the boot.img doesn't contain the animation. But according to a guide that I read I have to edit the boot.img file in order to hard root the phone so that I can then delete the bootsamsung.qmg file which contains the AT&T animation so I can just have a blank screen at the startup.
I've never heard that called "hard root" before but it's baked into the keyboard light fix which you probably have installed anyway.

Well, according to someone else, none of that is necessary, you can just replace the .qmg files and be set.

I changed the bootanimation, now using the ICS stock from Galaxy SII. Just had to copy two .qmg files over the old ones, set the permissions, wiped cache and dalvik. Did this because while we don´t have custom kernel will not be possible to use .zip bootanimation and i couldn´t find a way to edit .qmg file.

Boot twice

Android Commander won't let me rename the bootsamsung.qmg file though so I don't see how I could replace it.
Did you make sure you mounted /system as rw? I was able to rename the files and copy over the new ones just fine through a terminal window.
(edit)
To clarify, I put the two .qmg files in /sdcard, and then did the following from a terminal (or adb shell):
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-num/p2 /system
mv /system/media/bootsamsung.qmg /system/media/bootsamsung.qmg.bak
mv /system/media/bootsamsungloop.qmg /system/media/bootsamsungloop.qmg.bak
cp /sdcard/bootsamsung.qmg /system/media/bootsamsung.qmg
cp /sdcard/bootsamsungloop.qmg /system/media/bootsamsungloop.qmg
chmod 644 /system/media/bootsamsung.qmg
chmod 644 /system/media/bootsamsungloop.qmg
I didn't need to wipe cache or dalvik, and it worked perfectly on first reboot - I now have the Galaxy SII boot logo. I'm now off to poke around and see if I can find anything I like better.
Let me know if you find anything you like better. I'm thinking if I'm going to replace the AT&T logo I just want something generic, not the name of another phone model.
Yeah, I'm not big on having it say Galaxy SII at the bottom. Ideally I'd like the plain ICS animation, but I doubt any samsung phone came with that. Next up is anything that's just generic Samsung, and if that fails, I'm looking for something that just says Galaxy S, since the phone was sold as the Galaxy S Glide in Canada.
If there's a way to convert a normal bootanimation.zip into a bootsamsung.qmg that'd be ideal, but I don't think it can be done. Or if we could make the Glide accept a bootanimation.zip that'd be perfect.
There's no tool for converting that I know of, unfortunately. As for bootanimation.zip, once the ICS kernel sources get released that'll be possible. The current kernel doesn't have support for bootanimation.zip, but a few of the custom ones from GB added it, and it shouldn't be difficult to add to an ICS kernel.
(edit)
Unfortunately, it appears the Galaxy S III animations won't work. I assume the higher resolution is the problem, as I get just a black screen on boot. That's pretty disappointing, as this would've looked just fine. Anyone know another Samsung device that doesn't list it's model in the boot animation?
I haven't tried it yet on the SGH-I927, but a trick that we used on the Gio to change the boot animation was to overwrite/rename the /system/bin/samsungani file with /system/bin/bootanimation binary (which is also present on the stock ROM) which will either show the "stock" green Android text, or an appropriately formatted bootanimation.zip if present.
I'll get back to you guys later once I've had time to try it out.
There might also be a (non-animated) logo in boot.img, I haven't unpacked one yet to check it out.
---------- Post added at 11:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 PM ----------
Quick update:
There is a logo in the boot.img (or somewhere else in the bootloader.)
The samsungani/bootanimation switcheroo has a bug: it doesn't stop. I opened the slider, and I can see the animation running in a loop on the left half of the screen. Had to issue a kill command via ADB to stop it.
If you want to stick to a stock kernel and unbrand the boot animations: copy /system/media/bootsamsungloop.qmg in place of bootsamsung.qmg, and then rename /system/media/video/shutdown/shutdown.qmg to something else.
Aha, I've located some decent model-free .qmg's, from the Samsung Galaxy Ace 2. You can see the animation here on a Galaxy Ace Plus. File's were pulled from Cosmo123's post here.
I've pulled the files from his dump, and attached them here. I've also included a mediafire mirror.
Wow, that animation looks great. So I just follow the terminal instructions with those files from the Ace? Do I need to worry about getting rid of/replacing the PowerOn.wav?
I followed your instructions up to "cp /sdcard/bootsamsung.qmg /system/media/bootsamsung.qmg" in Terminal Emulator, but when I clicked enter on that line it came up saying "sh: cp: not found". So I don't know why it's saying that if that means the qmg file isn't found because I put both the new qmg files onto the internal SD card. Any thoughts?
Well I managed to rename the qmg files and the PowerOn files on the phone so now I just have the static Samsung logo on startup. So actually I've fairly happy with just that. So if you don't know how to fix the terminal problem I was having it's OK. It'd just be handy to know what the problem was in case I need to copy anything onto the root in future.

Ah, you don't have busybox installed. By default, our rom doesn't have several typical commands set up, it's the only device I've owned that didn't have cp out of the box. Go snag busybox and you'll be able to copy those files over.

Worked like a charm, on first reboot, like you, I didn't need to wipe anything. Just remember people, install Busybox before following this steps.
