Hi
I'm really sorry that I have ask so many questions lately, but I rooted 2 days ago and dont understand few things. I just ipdated from RCMix S v1.72 to RCMix S v1.8 and everything is ok, so I have one more question. How to cahnge Boot animation, I really dont like that when I turn my device on it shows joker with card s-off and then this firing up animation, how can I replace those two with something more interesting and cooler?
Thanks
To change the joker thing, just read the FAQs at the bottom of AlphaRev's site.
The boot animation afterwards is rom specific, ask your rom developer where these animation files are stored. Not easy to change.
I do not know how to changee this joker thing. For the other (following) bootanimation:
Download a fitting bootanimation-file (bootanimation.zip) for your os. Copy this zip-file to /system/media and replace the current bootanimation.zip with root explorer or any explorer which has root rights (like super manager; just activate root option in its settings). Now reboot and you should see the new bootanimation. But make a nandroid backup first, just in case.

ok so, if i go into the MANIFEST.MF file in notepad, and just change the
Name: data/local/bootanimation.zip to
Name: system/resource/customize/VZW_bootanimation.zip
then save as MANIFEST.MF and rezip everything do you think pwoplw would be able to then flash a custom boot animations to their phone using Clockwork etc...
or MUST it be pushed via ADB? this thought just crossed my mind and was curious if anyone would think it might work before i go ahead and try to install the zip.
i guess i could just go back to a nandroid from 2 mins ago if it does not work and kills my boot. lemmie know your thoughts.
You can copy it to your SDcard and move it there with Root explorer if you are rooted.
Don't like the sound, move or delete the mp3 that came with the distro (I prefer to move it).
Reboot and unless what you put there is broken it will work. If it is not valid, it simply won't show up, but won't stop your phone from booting.
Is there any way to install a boot animation on 2.2 without pushing through ADB?

Which Rom are you running? and yes, you can do it with Root Explorer, that's how I did it. ... I am running Sky Raider 3.0 RC3 sense so all i didn't was use root explorer to copy the bootanimation.zip from my sd card to /system/media and I also wanted a cool matrix sound to go with the matrix animation I am using so I just put a mp3 (and renamed it android_audio.mp3) in the same folder
Does anyone have step by step directions how to remove the stock HTC and "DROIIDDD" from popping up on the new ROM? I'd like to put my custom one back on. It only replaces the "HTC Incredible" screen, not the "HTC quietly brilliant" nor the "DROIIIIDD" screen.
Thanks!
Use root explorer and find the mp3 and boot animation zip in system/customize/resource (95% sure that's where it is), rename your custom boot animation to whatever the stock one is called (maybe VZW_bootanimation.zip), then replace the stock with your custom one. Oh and delete or rename the mp3 to get rid of the sound.
Edit: I'm not exactly sure what you mean by the last part, there should be only 2 separate things you see when you boot the phone: the HTC splash screen, then the droid boot animation (with the sound).
After the splash screen is the HTC Quietly Brilliant - Boot animation <---- I think lol..I just installed like 4 different roms and all of them are mixing together. Sensation has a nice power off animation which I really like.
Download BAC Lite in the market, it will pet you change sound and download boot animation. Not the best ones but...still good enough to use.

EDIT ---- sorry for double post but it won't let me edit my full post.
It sounds like you want the splash screen gone right? As soon as you turn it on it vibrates and shows HTC quietly brilliant?
You need an SD card formatted to Fat 32 --- Download a splash screen you want rename the file a certain name (-xxxxxxxxxxx.zip-) then enter bootloader and I believe press up on your volume when in bootloader to install your new splash screen.
Someone who sees this post please help out on my wrongs and correct them?
I haven't did one but alot of people have told me.

Sorry guys let me be more clear. I want my own custom splash screen which is the android character peeing on the apple logo. I don't want any type of boot animation or any htc splash popping up. I just want 1 single splash image. Hopefully this is clear to you guys. I will go ahead and try some of those methods when I get home. Thank you!
..... google voice makes me sound so serious.
You'll have to find a flashable splash screen unless you know how to make them yourself. I know there's a guide around somewhere that tells you how to do it, I don't think it's too hard..
Splash screens are flashed in hboot. Put the file (named exactly PB31IMG.zip) on the root of the SD card, boot into hboot, it will find the file and ask to update, hit volume up to confirm. Make sure the SD card is formatted fat32.
To get rid of the boot animation, just rename or delete it.
I already know about renaming the files and using the h boot. That has been done but it doesn't show up every single boot. When I tried to delete the .zip and .mp3 for the booth screen it wouldnt allow me to delete them. Any advice?

If you're using root explorer, you need to mount R/W before deleting or renaming things in /system. The button is at the top right.
I was able to delete the VZW_bootscreen.zip and the .mp3 - now it just shows "android" after my custom splash. I'm trying to figure out how to move my own splash into the customize folder (or wherever it is) hoping it would just continue to show but it won't let me move it over from the SD. I'm using ES File Explorer. What a pain! It was so simple for Cyanogen.
I tried using BAC Lite and that won't work at all.
Will root explorer allow me to transfer a file from my SD to my system storage? Thanks for the n00b help, guys...

Well it sounds like you deleted the bootanimation? That's the only thing including a Mp3.
Splash screen can only be installed via hboot as long as your splash screen is in your SD card and its fat32.
Root explorer will let you move items and so will Es. Just long press, move or copy then paste to your destination.
BAC lite is for boot animation and mp3 if you want to change them.
Everything were telling you is correct. If you could explain more?
When you turn on your phone ------
1.) Virbates then HTC Incredible "Quietly Brilliant"
2.) Enters BootAnimation and plays Mp3
3.) Homescreen/Lockscreen shows up
Which one do you want to get rid of or remove or replace?
1, 2?

Thanks for the info. I was able to copy a custom .zip file to replace it. However, when I booted up the phone it was just black. Inside the zip is splash1.img and .txt file.
To completely clarify (sorry if I didn't do a good job of it) I would like just ONE splash image through the entire bootup. That splash is the Android guy peeing on the Apple logo (splash1.img). I did the PB31IMG.zip in the hboot screen, which was successful. For some reason though the splash only shows up on an occasional boot. Following that splash image is "HTC quietly brilliant" then now it's just "Android" because I deleted the fancy bootup/droid mp3.
When I ran Cyanogen 7 all I had to do was the PB31IMG.zip/hboot trick and it worked beautifully. The Cyanogen load splash popped up after though.
IF at all possible, once again, I would like ONLY one single splash. Nothing else. No "HTC quietly brilliant" no "DROIIIDD" no "Android" and no ".mp3 (which no longer plays, I replaced the file with a "#").
I hope I'm clear
I am running the new 2.3.4 stock GB rom for the Incredible.
Thank you for the help guys!

Umm, well sounds like you got it. I've never did a custom splash, if you need a new boot try looking in the boot animations thread. As for the splash screen, i cant really help.
The reason you got "Android" with no sound is because you deleted the .zip and mp3 which is fine since you didn't want it. Sorry I'm a bit tired, hopefully someone can help with your splash screen issue.
Puzzling..

Yeah, I guess I have the first part figured out.. not sure why it only shows up sometimes during boot up.
As far as the "android" thing there seems to be no way to kill all of it, huh? I'd rather have the original .zip and .mp3 if that's the case- it boots much faster.
If anyone knows how to completely kill off "android" and make it oneeee splash only, let me know.
Thanks for the help guys, some knowledge I didn't know!
I really don't know if it's possible to do what you want to, I think you'll always have a splash and boot "animation" even if it's deleted. Hopefully you renamed the stock boot animation or copied it? If not I know it can be found with a quick Googling.
I reflashed the rom so it's back. My splash replaces the first screen. Interesting though, if I boot it in fast boot my animation wont show. If I boot it or restart it normal it will. Gotta love technology!

I have recently rooted my HTC incredible 2 and i have been trying to get a custom boot animation for it. i have downloaded countless apps and even tried methods with the computer all of which have failed. i have been using root explorer to search through my files trying to find bootanimation.zip but the only place i can even find anything titled bootanimation is in the system/bin file and i cannot customize or delete it or i lose my boot animation completely. any ideas on what i can do?

Hope these help. I am sure there are more posted here on XDA and other forums but these are 3 I could think of off the top of my head.
Aosp: rename file to bootanimation.zip and place in system/media
Sense: same rename but place in /system/customize/resource
Reboot
not fixed yet
im having same problem and im looking for some fix in a few days...lol
i think my problem is my firmware...gingerbread 2.3.6, i´ve tried all i guess and i dont get nothing.
past System/media dont have any file with name bootanimation.zip to replace
and when we past some there only 1 bootani... results in my galaxy s i9000.
others just block, with black screen or with animation, but dont pass that.
my phone dont iniciate.
i´m almoust sure u can understand me but...sorry about my bad english.
This is for iconic only...as iconic s has a completely different setup for boot.
Here is my own bootanimation. >Salsa Bootanimation
Its pre named so all u gotta do is download and copy direct into the
>system/customize/resource/ folder and overwrite existing. (you may have to Mount R/W in top left corner of root explorer)
Quick Video of it
Please dont leave bad feedback on this..took me 2 days to figure this out lmao....and it is my first ever!
other Bootanimation information listed below
Boot Animations and Sounds.
if by chance the sound annoys you like it did me, and you would like to remove it....plz see the following.
1>Use root explorer set Mount R/W on top right corner
2>system/customize/resource/android_audio.mp3. < remove this. make a copy though and store on your sd card!
other bootanimation info
1>Use root explorer set Mount R/W on top right corner
2>system/customize/resource/htc_bootanimation.zip < this file has to be replaced like for like.
theres loads available but i use BAC Lite from the market. use the app to get the bootanimation.zip on your sd card, once you have it, change the name to htc_bootanimation.zip using root explorer, copy the zip and paste into >system/customize/resource/
reboot the phone and voila! new animation and no sound!
~few queries~
1.for 1st bootup it takes more time than it used earlier.is it normal?
2.can your bootanimation be used along with custom sound? when i used custom sound with some other bootanim last nyt,it gave me FCs on major apps so all i had to do was restore a nandroid bckup.
3.does the sound size or boot anim size matter?

tried using bootanimation.1st startup was delayed but phone worked properly.
2 nd boot was delayed just like the 1st boot.moreover i got plenty of FCs when phone started.all major autostartup processes gave FCs while others like Andross (screenshooter) failed to launch and eventually gave FCs.the app data was reset by which i mean i lost downloaded data for games,saved passwords and login id s on apps like xda and dolphin browser.the most frequent FC was for betterkeyboard app.
finally i had to restore from nandroid backup.all in all m pissed off with FCs and hence no more bootanims for me :-D
BUT-
the boot animation is cool.needs few edits like
1.change the font type to plain blocks(capital letters).the C and S of salsa look larger in size than 'alsa' of salsa.
2.the text shud be centre aligned so that HTC SALSA occupies 90% of the screen width..
~the wave that flashes before displaying logo is awesome~

well if you followed instructions right then it would have worked
I'm trying to create my own ROM, I'm new to it, but I'm learning... Slowly. Anyways, How would I go about removing the Virgin Mobile splash screen when the phone starts up, for one it's annoying as hell, and another I wanted to put in a different boot animation. Also, how would I put in a different lockscreen? Do I just flash it through recovery?
You can flash a splash screen only if you are S-OFF......since you have a Virgin Mobile Wildfire S(CDMA?) You can do that easily
Boot animations(named "bootanimation.zip")are present in the "/system/customize/resource" on stock roms,Use a file manager like ES File
Explorer or others that have root permissions and replace the "bootanimation.zip" with the one you like.......Do keep in mind that the bootanimation should be renamed to "bootanimation.zip" and should be for our screen resolution(320x480 aka HVGA or sometimes termed as MDPI)
As far as the lockscreen is concerned.....you have to download the Lockscreen apps from the Play Store(there are no recovery flashables as of now)

Of course I'm rooted and all the fun stuff that comes with it. I used UOT kitchen and themed the ROM with it and everything since I don't know how to theme manually, and I changed the boot animation with that, flashed it but it doesn't work. Some of the theme goes through but other parts don't.
Also, what do you mean i can't change the lockscreen without an app? There are roms like Wildchild and the sense 3.5 that have changed lockscreens.
