[Q] EF02 Custom Boot Animations - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I know we don't technically have custom kernels for EF02 yet but how did Marcusant get the Droid eye boot animation in Anonymous Rom i3.... I've looked in the bootanimation.zip and there's only 1 PNG file in there (a solid black image).... I'm guessing the bootanimation is in a qmg file and if so how did he edit that type of file....
I'm not the only one pulling my hair out about this and would like anyone's insight on this matter.... Thanks In Advance =D

the boot animation is prob specific to the rom and can't be changed easily...and yes i am aware of the operation to change a boot animation!

I wish he was still here to tell me his magic spell for customizing it cause this is hurting my head lol..... do you think its in the qmg file and how would I unpack the qmg?

not a clue on how to unpack it and why isn't he here anymore?

I don't want this thread closed but he didn't ask permission to modify someones software.....

Its because its no just a bootanimation.zip file, its the stock one, just rom another phone and it already supports stock ones so it was just a mater of switching out stock animations and not a custom one.

???so the Droid eye animation is stock to another phone and that's all he did.....

Yup its stock to the droid charge so its a port.

[Q] Matrix boot animation?

So I know I've seen a matrix style boot animation for other phones but is there one for the Dinc? If not is there anyone that wants to make one or port one from another phone =) ?? I have no idea how to make one or port one myself. Also I don't know if it matters but I am on Sky Raider 3.0 RC3 (are all boot animations compatible with all roms?).

Yes, any boot animation made for the Incredible will work no matter what rom you have on it. The only differences are the file locations for the boot animation & sound on 2.1/2.2 are different from each other.

perfect. thanks!
Awesome, I got those files downloaded but I can't figure out how to get them to work... I looked in the forum at the thread that says to put the zip file in the /system/customize/resource using root explorer and then rebooted but it just reverted to the previous boot animation i loaded from rom manager ... ???
You need to put the file in /system/customize/resource and rename it to VZW_bootanimation.zip

It depends on your Rom as to where you put it. I use SkyRaider 3.0 RC3 and I have to put it into /system/media and you also need to name it bootanimation.zip
Prefect, thanks I am using sr3 rc3 so that's exactly what I needed!

So for those who want the set up like I have it, get which ever color you want from the link above (I use the blue) and you can also grab this audio file (matrix theme song I got off of mabilo ringtones app) and put them in your /system/media folder.
**Note, this is for people rockin the sky raider roms. Also make sure the zip file is named bootanimation.zip and the audio file is android_audio.mp3 (not sure if it has to be that for the audio but that's the way I tested it and it works).
Is there anyway to combine this with the new Incredible boot animation? I think that would look so cool with the red matrix boot, then the new Incredible boot. Excellent job by the way, the animations are top quality. I've attached both animations for anyone who may know how to do this.

Do they work with stock roms? If not, how to adapt them? I really like the minimal blue one

The update files were meant for Lulz/Tegrak kernel so those files wouldn't work with stock rom. I also have yet to try those script on CWM as well.
The easiest path right now is to install the Lulz/Tegrak kernel via odin from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118918
Question, are you familiar with ADB? Odin? Rooting? Is your SGS2 still stock?
p.s i like the minimal blue one also
Coool! cheers!
Your boot animation package is also available with any other custom kernels that support /system/media/sanim.zip

You can also download the file unzip it copy the sanim.zip and overwrite the sanim,zip on your phone /system/media
You can use either ADB or root explorer to do this.

The boot animation itself actually will work with most phone but these has been packaged to work with sanim.zip boot animation.
You can check your /system/media see if you have boot animation.zip or sanim.zip and just extract my sanim.zip to replace the file.

(Q) boot animation

can someone point me in the direction of a working tutorial on how to change a boot animation for galaxy s device? I've tried searching around and replacing the bootanimation.zip didn't work. *also didn't work with the vibrant or the gs2 either* I know Samsung uses proprietary .qmg boot images with like three parts to them etc.
basically. how do I/ where can I find information about changing my boot animation?

Boot animation.zip requires a kernel that supports boot animation zip .
SGS2 forum had a load of working boot animation zips .
QMG files requires a very expensive editor to open . Though someone has done it as i have boot animation qmg non stock files for SGS2 that wont work on SGS3 as they are not large enough .
jje
Actually I think this can be done outside of the kernel, but you still need to hack a file.
I am looking to add this to VillainRom as soon as I have a chance to sit and look a the necessary files.
that would be wonderful! unfortunately I'm running the t999, any possibility you will port VillainRom for the US devices?
Also, any ideas as to why "bootanimation.zip" is included in stock roms for galaxy s devices if they don't use them?
epic fail (>'x'<)
totally didn't realize this was a thread for the i9300
well if you have any input, I appreciate it!

Is it a bootanimation.zip? Or is that aosp only
Only Aosp or ktoonses Sammy kernel support bootanimation.zip files right now.
If you want the .qmg files, no problem. I haven't found a stock bootanimation.zip yet though.

Qmg to bootanimation.zip

Trying to see if anyone can do this. I have the qmg file for the stock sprint jelly bean. But it's in qmg. My rom only allows to read the animations from the bootanimation.zip file.
Does someone know how to convert?
Basically trying to do this on the animation with the Samsung text and the purple swirl that goes around it.

It's proprietary Samsung format there is no conversion for it. If you would like to enable the stock functionality back to your phone then you will need to change the samsungani located in /system/bin back to the standard one and then the kernel will boot the stock qmg file instead of the bootanimation.zip
Hope that helps

If your running aosp all you need is the bootanimation.zip that you want to use. Drop it in system/media and give it these permissions.

Were you able to try it out? Did the kernal load samsungani with the target qmg files? I suspect the init scripts might also need changing. Please let me know if you have made any progress.
