I have a rooted epic, no roms. Using the genocide kernel. It overlays the android icon over my boot screen. Is there any way to remove this? Thank you.
If you're running a rom... head to the themes and apps section. There you can find boot animations that you can flash through clockwork.

As I just said "no rom" I want to keep the stock boot animation (which I have) but there is a sideways "android"overlay over it, that's what I'm trying to get rid of.

Go to /system/media and delete the file called "bootanim". The only file you should have having to do with boot animations in the media folder, is the file called bootanimation.zip..

I just tried deleting the bootanim using astro, it won't let me.
You have to use root explorer.

Dammit man.. That deleted my factory boot animation, not the annoying android one, which is the only available now... How do I get the factory one back, and get rid of the android overlay
Misinformation in here lol... you would need to delete /system/bin/bootanimation to keep stock and get rid of the ability to use custom boot animations, but you need a copy of the file you deleted back....

Here it is. Just remove the .zip.zip (screwed up the rename) at the end. I had to add that to upload it. Put it back in system\media with root explorer.

I THINK we're misunderstanding what your problem is. Wipe cache/dalvik 3x in CWM and reflax the kernel. It was probably caused by a back flash.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
no its caused by support for custom bootanimation.zip in his kernel but he only wants to run the stock animation, so he needs to del the bootanimation binary from /system/bin/ so that only the /system/bin/playlogos1 binary plays the stock animation...
I don't know if this has been clarified or fixed but he is talking about the kernel splash that comes with Genocide. It appears after the Samsung Mobile screen but before the actual boot animation. I have a custom boot animation and I see it, but only after flashing the genocide kernel. It says: "IAP powered by: Genocide."
Not that I mind that much, I do like the bios boot but I figure I should leave it on there. If nothing else it reminds me to give thanks to me devs!
Pretty sure he's talking about the sideways greenish grey android logo you get if you don't have a bootanimation.zip. its in the bootanimation binary, which is called from the init.rc in the kernel. The stock animation is called by the playlogos1 binary, which is run at the same time, which is why they overlap.. if you have a zip, you don't see the stock animations...

Im curious as how to remove the IAP logo? I love supporting Devs and all but with the Samsung logo, IAP, AND the Boot Animation its just too much. Id prefer just the annoying Samsung logo and my own boot animation (which I already have).

so if I remove the "init.rc", it will remove the splash screen that comes with the genocide rom ??...i have srf and the genocide splash screen appears before the normal bootanimation for my phone..its a bit annoying (just a preference, love his work but i don't like the splash screen)
I see that alot of people have the nexus one boot animation...how do I go about finding the necessary files and installing? Thanks!!!
Open ROM manager. Go into Download ROM. Choose ihtfp69. Choose Boot Animations. Choose Nexus One. Flash it after it downloads.
Is it permanent or temporary for the rom?
You are looking at a crackflashing troll with ORD.

You have to reflash it whenever you flash a new ROM. I just save the file on my SD card.

Noob here looking for some help, I flashed a new boot animation in recovery which went fine with no problems. The problem I've got is I now can't change it to a different boot animation, I've tried
1 - flashing another boot zip in recovery. No luck
2 - tried rom toolbox pro to flash 1 of their boots. No luck
3 - I've tried doing it manually by deleting boot animation zip in system/media and replacing it with a new bootanimation.zip. no luck
Every time I reboot Im back to the 1 I'm trying to get rid off.
If anyone could help I'd appreciate it.
If I've posted this in the wrong place I'm sorry but go easy on a noob

I just installed CWM through SFHub's Autoroot package, and my boot animation changed upon the automatic reboot to the animation that just says "Android". Is that normal, and is it something i should be worried about if its not normal?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
You're fine. As long as it booted, you're fine.
That's a fallback bootanimation when no other one is detected. The same thing would happen if you were using a kernel that used the qmg format over 'bootanimation' but you had a bootanimation zip in /system/media.
The only time you should be worried is when your boot animation is static
That almost never occurs on our phone so your good

Alright. Thanks.
If i wanted to change my boot animation how would I go about doing so? Is there a thread you can point me to?

yup normal, same thing I got until I flashed Blu Kuban
Can't name any threads off the top of my head. Just search 'how to install bootanimation' With Samsung, the type will matter (qmg vs bootanimation) depending on the kernel. As far as I know, most custom kernels support bootanimation zips. just read the OP to check.
Now, most will have a CWM flashable package but if you find one in a ROM you want or it's not wrapped in a nice package:
It goes in /system/media and must be named 'bootanimation.zip' the permissions are rw-r-r (though I'm sure r-r-r works too).
Hey guys. I downloaded the dancing droid animation and it's fun. Have you found any cool boot animations? If so, post em up!

not true im running DSv7 with DS kernel 5 venom and i have the 3D android peeing on the apple working just fine you need root explorer to go into system/media then swap the boot animation files but make sure the new boot animation looks identical "bootanimation.com"
and always back up before you do anything!!!

Same here. I was having the issue with it being a nandroid backup not letting get write access to the root folder and had to go through the process of getting my access back. The only thing I am trying to figure out now is how to change the initial boot sequence that the DS ROM has. Yeah the whole Vader helmet is cool but I would like the ability to change that as well.

i was having the same issue, I just did a fresh re-flash and it worked just fine (also uninstalled and re-installed Root explorer), now I have the Android pissing on apple boot animation. As far as editing the Darkside helmet I am not too sure what can be done about that.
