System boot animation and how to - Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps

Hi everyone
Im looking for some sort of system boot animation. Onstead of the flashing S i wanna see all the code it goes through as its booting up.
Similar to what you see when you boot to recovery mode.
Having said all this ive heard there is one so im assuming there is one BUT ive no idea how to install it so any help there would be much appreciated
Thanks in advance

You need to use root explorer (phone must be rooted first) and copy bootanimation.zip to /system/media and on next boot animation should appear.

Bricking, yes, if you don't know what your doing.
Insurance/warranty, no, but read your terms and conditions.
All fixed/covered up with Odin and flashing a stock kernel. Your broken hardware on return isn't going to a CSI lab for investigation. Only your mouth can get you into trouble, if you volunteer to tell them any info that breaks any terms and conditions. Your mouth can also help, say it was a failed Kies update

Ok this sounds do.able. If i root it then change the boot animation then unroot it will the boot animation stay.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Im pretty sure you have to flash a custom Kernel which supports custom boot animations, like Hardcores' SpeedMod.

i havent found a reason not to root...as the options for customizing are endless! from boot animations to themed dialer and swype keyboards....custom ROMs and everything in between....
to answer you question about the boot animation..i think there is one out there...check out Doc & Stefunel's RomKitchen in the Development thread. there is a boot animation thats called BIOS...never used it but it seems like it fits what you're inquiring about....
good luck..
....please hit thanks if this was any help to you....

thanks for infos

Nice one folks im gonna have a think first though. The idea of bricking my £720 phone does not appeal to me haha

It may boot loop, but staying with odex that is what we get, the only thing I found that bootloops every time is removing clock, but that changes the servicies.jar so I would suspect this might boot loop, but that is why there is nandroid, unfortunatly I am oncall this week so my rule is not to fool around with my phone until I am off call

You can search for HTC's boot animation via the Android Development thread for any of the many available boot animations for the EVO 4G. Many of the thread promoting custom roms usually have a boot animation that can be flashed.

Take out the battery. Put it back in and start your phone again. If the same happens repeat the battery pull but this time hold down on the volume bar and THEN press the power button to restart your phone. After it starts up in bootloader select recovery by moving the volume bar and then hit the power button again. This will bring you back to recovery where you can flash the rom again or restore your backup.

I know this going to sound stupid, but can anybody point me to a guide or video on how to flash roms? Im new to all this so I dont want to mess anything up.

Note: Start @ 3:15. In the video clockwork mod is black/green but that's just because its an older version, the newer version is black/orange. All the steps are still the same though.

Also keep in mind that some roms can take up to 5 minutes to load the first time. Normally (but definetely NOT always) as long as it doesn't keep reloading the boot animation, everything is fine - the rom is building your file system on your first boot.

Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
if you took the time to read about kernels and what they are you would know.
but, i'm in a good mood today:
Kernels govern your cpu speed and how to scale it. Some are locked to a certain frequency set and some are made adjustable, but you have to get an app that interacts with the kernel otherwise it runs at whatever it is preset to.
SetCPU is the one I used, but I know there are plenty out there that others would recommend and swear by in a heartbeat.

I'm using Virtuous rom 1.02 with the advanced kernel. I clocked mine at 475-1100mhz with a low battery profile switch at 275-887 (i think).
Check your rom specific kernel to make sure it runs best for your rom. The rest is personal preference.

*sigh* Give a man a fish and he will eat all day. Teach a man to fish and he will drink beer all day.
Since you're on CyanogenMod, I recommend Pershoot's kernel (available through ROM Manager). If you're feeling bold, download Flippy's latest kernel. Since I'm running the CM-based PyroMod, Pershoot's kernel is built in.
Everytime i flash a rom do i need to flash clockwork mod recovery?

If you open clockwork and your current recover is the same as newest version then there is no need to reflash recovery. The only reason to reflash clockwork is if there is a newer version out.

[MOD] CMX-Hold back to kill - TimeOut

************ONLY FOR CYANOGENMOD 10 9/14 nightly and newer**************
Here i present to you multiple flashable zip files to change your Hold back to kill timeout.
Do you think the stock one is too long? Then flash one with a shorter time
Dont like the short time? Flash one with longer time.
Its simple
Place your prefered delay time zip file on your sdcard.
Boot to recovery
Flash the zip.
Reboot.
Profit
Thanks so much for this. Will it work for any AOSP ROM that is based on CM10, like AOKP or Paranoid Android? This is probably the only mod I ever REALLY wanted for CM. AOKP's time out is just about right for me though. Thank you for sharing, greatly appreciated.

AOKP might cause a bootloop. NANDROID before flashing. Paranoid android from what i have been reading is based off of CM source, so it might work. My CM10 center clock mod worked on Paranoid android so im pretty sure this will as well.
ALSO to everyone using this, if it doesnt work, mount /system in recovery "mounts and storage" first then flash the zip. i just saw there was an error in my updater-script, nothing severe it just wont mount the system. And my upload speeds suck xD

Tablet UI. I was also seeing weird symbols popping up in the process, like when I cleared cache and fixed permissions to see if that would fix it, the prompt at boot up said something like "upgrading applications $% of $%" but for some reason couldn't upgrade any of them, so it just started right up, and immediately gave me a UI FC.

If u hold "back" on cm ROMs u can "kill" the app running. Some ppl prefer a shorter "long press" this will shorten that time.
I apologize for not updating this! I had just reinstalled windows after getting the ZeroAccess TrojanHorse in system32/services.exe.
And busy getting my next semester in order!
So in the near future I will have updates posted!
A new feature of cm10 is the low battery notification light. This blink rate can be edited. So if people want this edited post some led on times followed by led off times both in milliseconds.
For example 500,500
500 milliseconds on 500 milliseconds off. (This is what I use and love it) but post some ideas for different times and I'll make those edits too.

Yes flash a ROM meant for another device. That will remove Odin mode and everything else. You will have the shiniest brick available. But it won't have Odin mode!

I came from a device that utilized fastboot as well and I was used to it so I understand where you are coming from. Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do about it.
I had a device with fast boot and I have no idea where he is coming from. Removing download mode won't do anything to benefit performance. You can't add fast boot to a Samsung device..at least that i am aware of. Download mode is just the way things are done in these parts. Removing it would only remove a potential lifeline when things get scary with soft brick. It would also remove the ability to root. If you want fast boot back, you will have to go back to a device that utilizes it.

I guess I worded it wrong. Before I even flashed a ROM, my phone didn't say Odin Mode at the very top of the download mode screen. I forget what it said, honestly, but I'm asking if it's possible to restore my phone to it's original state before I used Odin to root and mod it.

Hmm, I just have an old personal custom kernel/rom on my old phone, I no longer use/hack it. It's totally useless, but I just want to keep my visual change forever (print my name at the boot, and some random other useless thing like that, it's juste for fun, somes little patch I make when I discovered the kernel), It is also to learn something new about the sbl-download mode, because I don't really know how it works, and I haven't found any documentations about this.
tl:dr : for fun, discover something new.
Thanks for any idea, or tips.
There is no way to remove download/Odin mode. To attempt to do this is absolutely retarded. I am now reporting this thread to stop the insanity. Do Not private message me again about this subject either.
Thread closed
There is no way, nor is there any need, to 'remove Odin Mode'.
