Is it at all possible to install custom boot animations without having them already packaged in a ROM? I am tired of the blue flashing galaxy logo!
anybody???
I think there's a dev here that released a rom where he changed the boot, sound and ending splash animation with the one from i9000 galaxy s. You might want to check the thread and ask him how to make changes. Maybe once this info is out maybe it will get ball rolling to get custom boot and ending animations.
I saw an app on the market called boot animation changer or something to thateffect but I've never used it or know how for that matter

Its no secret really just some deleting, copying, and pasting from the i9000 rom to his. The problem i the boot animations are in sammy's special format.

Until we get a new rom/kernel that supports other, or standard, boot ani's we're stuck with boot animations that are in the Samsung proprietary format. If/when cm6 gets ported to the galaxy it'll be as easy as uploading any bootanimation.zip to the right place.
Heroic epic rom has custom boot animation support!

Heroic Epic is the best. Thank you for supporting custom boot animations Mammon88!!
yeah the kernel just needs to support looking for "bootanimation.zip" instead of sammys crap. once mammon throws down with his magic, everyone will get some love!
Yeah heroic epic rom works great and with root explorer all you have to do is get any bootanimation.zip that 800x480 on your sd card and then copy with root explorer to your /data/local folder and next time you boot you'll see your boot animation. You can get some boot animations from the evo thread!
ok so i just figured out how to root my epic POS last night and OBVIOUSLY lack the exp you guys have...i have cwm5.? and a one click root now...but i read somewhere that cwm makes you recovery screen green, but mine is still blue. i desperately want to switch around the theme and **** but need instruction...PLZ HELP! LOL if you guys could gtalk me thru it id appreciate [email protected]
If you have clockworkmod then, turn the phone off. When the phone is off, reboot holding down camera +vol down + power all at the same time. That will take you into the clockworkmod recovery.

got a stock evo 2.1 rooted it.. with clockwork installed custom rom and kernel updated to 2.2 everything is okay used romanger to go back between clock work and arom... but still cant get the adb commands to work... actuall just trying to push a spc mp3 file tried replacing with root explorer no go
One thing a lot of us had trouble with going from 2.1 to 2.2 was the su app didn't like being bundled with a rom. Uninstall your su app and install the one from the market.
Let us know if this fixes it.

What is that file used for?

Is that the audio that plays during the boot animation?

yes it does im assuming the stock recovery uses the red exclamation... now i have the yellow one i tried to remount and i get an error.....
so why must we adb on the 2.2 when the 2.1 all you needed was root explorer? to change boot animation and sound.....
The boot animation in 2.2 is a single .zip file. Boot animations are something I haven't gotten into much (on the EVO) so I'm not sure how it was on 2.1 but I'd guess it was more like the Hero where it was a .gif or two and a sound file.
When the boot animation is packaged in a single .zip file you can't just swap out parts of it. You'd have to unzip it, change what you want, and make sure the xml (if there's on in there) is adjusted accordingly. If you swapped the sound file for one that was of the same name you'd probably be fine to rezip and drop the whole zip back in there.
This is pure speculation though. I may be totally wrong. If I were gonna try to customize my boot though that's where I would start.

You can use pushboot found in the development section to change the sound and/or the bootanimation.

Cool, dl'ing virus rom now so I can see exactly what you're working with.
Are we sure you actually do have su permissions and it was just an issue with this boot animation package?
Can you mount your /system as R/W in root explorer?

Same goes for 2.2. Just swap out the files in /system/customize/resource/ I've also seen them in /system/media/ depending on which rom you're using.

I'm posting this to see if anyone has tried changing the boot animation on this ROM. I've tried to use the apps on the market and I grabbed a few from blackmart too, but I couldn't get the boot animation to change. I grabbed root explorer and moved files. I used android sdk and tried pushing them into the system folder. I can't get the damn boot animation to change. I'm using the filename "bootanimation.zip" correctly. Ummm at the moment that's all I can think of that I've tried. If anyone has any valuable input that might help me out, I'd really appreciate it. Once the revolution tool came out, I've become a flashaholic haha. I really like this evolved ROM. Mainly because of all the green in it everywhere. ....I'm straying from my point, Boot animation. Posted a shootme shot of my ROM and kernel that I flashed.
Anyone?
Thank you

Via root explorer:
Copy the boot animation you have selected to data/drm. I could be wrong since I flashed out of that rom already but I think that is where it goes. Leave it as is once pasted there. Remember the name of the old one in there, delete it, then rename the new one with the old one's name. I did because I liked this one I found of android man wearing a circus like jacket that snags the Apple logo with a cane and then he comes back on dancing. If data/drm doesn't work, do system/customize/resource.
The boot animation goes in data/local, make sure you give it full permissions also just to make sure it sticks
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
What do you mean give it full permission?
and I haven't touched that data/drm folder yet, so maybe that's it. I wanted to put the dancing android guy as the boot animation and the party rock anthem ringtone mp3 that I grabbed. I want that song to play while the boot animation is goin. So its like the android guy is dancing to the party rock anthem hahaha. Do I put the mp3 in that data/drm folder as well?

System/media.
Well I've cleared out all the bootanimation.zip files from the phone to try and get no boot animation so I can start from there. I'm still getting the "EVOlvedRoms" boot animation. How the hell is that? lol Any Idea what I'm missing. I even moved the bootanimation.zip.orig to my sdcard from system/customize/resource
You need to go to data/local

Gahhhhhhhhh I'm getting ready to pull my hair out with this boot animation stuff. Where's this hidden "EVOlvedROM" bootanimation file???? I can have no bootanimation.zip files on the phone at all, and it still loads that boot animation for the ROM. I've put mine in...I've changed permissions ....I've done everything I can think to do. I've taken all the suggestions on this thread so far, and I still see "EVOlvedROMS" when I boot the phone up. It's a nice animation, BUT I wanna figure out how to change it and I can't. It's been days now ....any new suggestions out there? I even sent a message to the guy who posted the ROM, and he hasn't messaged me back at all

<BootAnimation animation="/data/local/hTC_bootanimation.zip" audio="/system/customize/resource/android_audio.mp3" />
this is from that roms default.xml that is how its suppose to be named and where it goes. when using root explorer you have to make sure the permissions are rw-r-r
user: read and write checked
group:read checked
other: read checked

Hi all,
I looked and tried for a while now, but I'm not able to change my boot animation on the COS ICS by roalex. A bootanimation.zip stored in system/media and/or in data/local doesn't work for me. I'm shure it changed in general in ICS. Can anybody help me please to find a way to change my boot animation?
Some ICS threads recommend to store in system/customize/resource, but I don't have a customize file.
For all changes I use root explorer.
Thanks and have a nice day!
What do you mean with "does not work"? Is any bootanimation shown or do you just get a black screen? Did you make your named it correctly and really replaced the old bootanimation?
Thanks for your answer
The bootscreen in general works. In settings I can enable and disable boot animation. When I enable boot, then the old school android boot animation is showed. I think this is maybe a fallback mode, when there is no bootanimation.zip. But I don't know.
When I look into /system/media and /data/local after a fresh installation, then there is no bootanimation.zip. Maybe the builder of this ROM has diasabled custom boot images to speed up the device (it is indeed very fast).
And because he has disabled boot animation per default, I'm not able to set up my own.
It's not the first time I created my own animation, so I'm shure it works at least in gingerbread.
My new question should be now, how to enable bootanimation in this special case, when it is disabled by default?
I suggest, that this is no big deal, when this doesn't work on this rom. I can live without a nice boot animation. It's more for my general comprehension, how android is working.

Yes, indeed. Sorry.
Tried to create folderpath (/customize/resource) yourself and then move the bootnanimation.zip there?

I know the issue......install disk usage and tell me size of your system partition free space, then tell the size of bootanimation.....it always happens when space not enough.....Android tries to write your file, and if no space, it just shows.that file is written.....please check free space and tell.....

I have had a bit of a hard time finding much about changing that annoying whit HTC splash screen.here is what I have figured out ,might be helpfull for any of my fellow noobs ..ok,this is simple,there are many really cool custom screens you can find on here,pick the one you like,download it to your sd card.make sure it is named PG32IMG.zip ..power off your phone.holding volume down,power on your phone,this should take you to your h boot.once there give it a second,it will ask you if you want to update,press volume up,reboot your phone by pressing power,done!Hope you find this helpfull!p.s.there is also a good app for making your own screens on here somewhere .think its called splash flasher or something like that,look for it..
Understanding that you cannot post in the dev sections as of yet, I can see why you would post here. I'm in the same spot given I have utilized the forum for a long time but have not been active in the community. I noticed that your link did not come through properly. Here is a link to a splash screen modification that I use with success here. In conjunction with this I also modified my boot up and boot down animations although there are not a ton to chose from, I'm sure there are other threads out there. I just don't have the links. I used these boot up animations (w/ audio mod if you like) with success here. Love that gdi2290 Anyways, I did do some searching to find and ultimately found it through the all things root post found here which has a ton of information for Dinc2 users trying to get their root/modification legs. If anyone else has some decent links for splash screen, boot up, boot down, or other useful links. Add them to the pile.

Check out rom toolbox on the market. You can change boot animations with it. You used to be able to change boot screen also, but unless I'm overlooking it, that has been taken out.

No doubt, keep forgetting the features that app has because I have always used cwm manually (and have since moved on 4ext touch). Nice work!

There is a thread on here somewhere with a bunch of boot logos that you can download. It's pretty easy to change. Just rename the file and flash in bootloader. You have to make sure it's on the root of sd card. I don't think it works if it's in a folder.

Here is where you find the boot up and power down sounds...I've changed them and disabled them. To disable I make a copy of them and store them on my SD CARD and delete the original.. so if I want to revert back to stock I have them...
