Hi
Can anyone tell me how to make an update.zip file to change vodafones boot animation?
I would like to have the stock animation or a custum animation.
don't think this has been done yet as the images used on Samsung bootup are something like QMG images but there isn't a converter readily available yet
Wait, what? It's impossible even if we want to remove/change the boot? How come there are some threads explaining to change the boot sequence? And, I have a bunch of PNG Vodafone images on my phone.
PS: Why isn't there any response in all of the threads regarding changing/removing the boot sequence ? Newbie here.
Hi Pegart, i have no knowledge of custom boot animations but here is what i know.
Samsung Galaxy i9000 is very different from other android phones in the way the system is. The boot animation pngs you see are the shutdown ones and you could change it. With SGS tools (available free in market) you can change boot sounds. The startup is in qmg in which there is no way to change yet. over in the vibrant forums they are working on it and i think they have done it and you should ask in the vibrant forums how they done it which might help you
Hope this information helped you
Great, thanks for the answer. Much appreciated. Will check the Vibrant subforum.

Hi all,
in this thread i will continue the work from zenity (which inspired me to start with custom splashes and boot animations)
The main purpose of this thread is mainly for splash screens and boot animation requests for Kaiser.
I will start the thread with 1 custom splash and 1 custom boot animation,
so you can all see what the possibility's are.
When you request a splash screen ----> please attach the picture you want as splash screen.
For boot animations ---> a video or other file might be helpful, as im not going to make 200+ png art files for you by hand
And of course credits for zenity!
I will try to handle the requests as soon as possible, and if there are people willing to help that's perfectly fine
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any damage you cause to your phone by flashing custom splash screens or using any boot animations.

Dude, thanks for the credit, but really I'm not sure I deserve it, lol, I only a few bootsplashes and bootanimations.
Glad to see someone take up the challenge though, my thread was really just a collection thread for others work
I guess the idea of this thread was ok, but till now i didn't get any responses yet might place this thread in the general android forums or something.
and you still get the credits, because of you i got into the bootanimation stuff

this does not work for me it does seem to boot faster without a boot animation though
Boot animation working
It works for me, but only if i integrate it in the installer (but thats with all bootanimations for me). Though, i guess i had a bit too much enthusiasm putting 1,5 minute of movie in this bootanimation.
But still, this is just an example of whats possible. I can make simple bootanimations as well on request. So if you have an idea, just post it here and your request will be made
updateandroid.tar method wont work?
how about a basic few frame boot ani, it possible that the boot process has gotten faster than the animations take.
?
how you mean that exactly? i dont really understand what you mean with it.
to change the bootanimation.zip file an updateadroid.tar file must be use because of the file permissions.
this method produces the error i fore mentioned.
you are saying i must put the file in the androidinstall.tar next time i update?
i wonder if fix permission in boot does not fix permissions for bootanimation.zip and that is why it does not work
how about something like these....
click on the skeleton guy ....not sure why he isn't animating on here?
Procedure
You could use androidupdate.tar method,
or use adb push method and push bootanimation.zip to /data/local (did not check, but thought this was the right path)
though i always experienced problems with changing the bootanimation
ok, im very busy with school right now. I will be looking at them next week.
Ill post the bootanimations in this thread

i like the bottom one
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

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!
Sent from my Epic 4G
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.

Just check this out if you want boot animations
My thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1147111
I'm trying to change the animation on my AT&T branded Play. All I can get is the stock Android blue/green letters for a boot screen, which is the default android system boot screen. While this is a step in a much better direction than the crappy AT&T screen, I want a PSX or PSP boot animation on there. I've tried using a root file explorer to move it to system/media where it seems the original is found. Renaming the original so it won't use it and renaming my desired screen to bootanimation.zip. This yields only the stock Android animation though.
Does it need a special boot animation file to work? I can't believe I couldn't find anything on this through a search, either I didn't look hard enough or it doesn't exist I guess.
Any help is appreciated.
I used to flash them on my EVO but now I use Absolute System Root Tools to set the boot animation, because I used Zergrush and have a locked bootloader. I assume you have root access since you are using Root Explorer... I'm not sure how to set one with the method you're trying, but Absolute worked just fine for setting the Nexus S animation... get it... NeXus.. Xperia... lol. Good luck!

I don't know if AT&T has fiddled with your phone so it sets the boot animation with another method somehow. It should be as simple as you have done. Just replacing "bootanimation.zip" in /system/media/ with the one you download, assuming it is created correctly. I have changed mine this way to a Super Mario bootanimation and it works fine.
Also try Absolute System Root Tools as previous poster said. You can't set your own bootanimation with it though as far as I know. Just a big list to chose from.
nice one thanks , works on rooted play

Make sure when you .zip up your bootanimation. You do it with no compression. Otherwise it won't work.
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!

I can never get the boot logos to work with that app.Love the themes and boot animations though.I think the paid version is well worth it!

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.

First off, let me thank you for any help that I might get resolving this issue. Second, I have searched all over xda and cannot find this question about this particular phone, let alone an answer. Please be kind on me, I am not a complete noob, but I still have some learning to do as well. And forgive me if this is posted in the wrong place.
I have an At&t Samsung Galaxy S III running 4.1.1. It is rooted with custom recovery (TWRP) and stock rom. I have flashed Bootanimation4U.Samsungani.Only.zip, created a custom bootanimation.zip file, placed it in system/media and set the permissions with root explorer. The animation is working fine. I have also downloaded a sound.oog file that goes along with the boot animation. I renamed the sound.oog to PowerOn.oog, placed it in system/media/audio/ui, and set the permissions using root explorer and the sound plays just fine except there is a 3-4 second delay before the sound starts playing after the boot animation starts. This is driving me crazy. I know there was a similar issue with the Droid RAZR here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771089 . However, I have tried changing the desc.txt and that unfortunately didn't fix the problem on my phone. I cannot find any answer that has solved this issue. Please, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I have the same issue with a Sprint Galaxy Note II running 4.3. stock rom with TWRP recover. I really don't want to flash a custom rom but I will if you think it will fix this frustrating problem. Thank you
I've done some more digging and found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633685 that the audio driver configuration and policy implementation is located in /etc/tinyucm.conf . Based on this information and my own observation of the boot process, I think the sound delay is just a natural function of the boot process itself as the drivers take a few seconds to load after the boot animation starts. I could be way wrong. If anyone has any information about driver load priority, or anything that could help me solve this, I would be grateful for your help. I am wondering if there is any way to fix this by modifying the tinyucm.conf file? Probably not for what I am attempting, but if it can be done I would really like to know. I'm going to try to pull the file and see if I can make any sense of it. For now I have added a custom splash screen before the boot animation and sound starts. Since I am using android 4.1, I modified the desc.txt file to allow the boot animation to play until it finishes so it wouldn't get interrupted by the completion of the boot process. It is a lazy work around, but it works for now. As always, thanks for your help.
