Well first u have to be rooted and and have a kernel that suports bootanimation. Second u need to get root explorer and copy the new bootanimation to system/media and that's it.

And you may need to flash a boot cleaner or manually delete the stock boot ani files or you will get the 2 animations conflicting.

I attached a CWM3 flashable boot cleaner.
I'm familiar with the procedure on my evo 4g but never did it on my wifeys epic 4g..Is it just flashing the pc36.img of a splash and putting the boot animation you want in the correct folder?? thanks again
Just flash a bootanimation.zip threw cwm.

Make sure you have a kernel that supports custom boot animation. Genocide is easiest and painless. You may also have to remove stock boot animation if you see double images. There is a boot cleaner floating around for that.
BONSAI 4 and loving it!
You can go into your system/media folder and rename the bootani.qmg file to bootani.bak or just delete it entirely. That will get rid of the double boot bleed threw.
Also I have my own personal boot animation removal.. Just follow up once you run it with a flashable of a bootanimation you want.
Remove Stock Boot Animation (Flash in CWM3.0.0.6) Gets rid of the stock boot animation if its still there, I made this for the stock deodexed version of Froyo EB13.
Ok first post here. I'm runing prerooted 2.2.1 build with drockstars kernel, cwm purple, chainfire...ect ect. Anyways. I have not been able to replace anything in the system files. And the helix flash zip files for boot ani don't work. Shutdowns are easy. Got that on lock. What I'm realy interested in is finding a .zip cwm flashable file that will replace the samsung splash screen. Idk what pic is there as ill replace it with what I want (radioactive symbol). I saw a thread about it on here but I can't find it. This is the closest I've been able to come. So any ideas on that. I've got amillion other questions too. I've been scowering this sight for months. Two bricks later I'm gettin the hang of it.
after update i found my boot screen is flashed into darkside kernal.
how could i find my orig boot screen back?
use stock rom?

SlickMOD uses "sanim.zip" instead of "bootanimation.zip" in system/media folder.

I have been through every Rom looking for this feature, CRT Animation. The ACS Syndicate Rom is the only Rom available with it. Although that Rom over-heats, and drains the battery. I have done everything I can think of or find to get this modification, with no luck!
Currently on Blazer Rom 1.7 LG8
I have tried the CWM Zip files for the international models... although it says installed correctly, does not work.
I have tried the CWM Zip files for the Galaxy S2... once again it says it installs correctly, but does not work.
I have tried the manual code change for the international models... pushed services.jar onto phone and it worked for a minute with a terrible stutter and lag on screen on, after a few minutes it stopped working altogether and left me with this ugly lag on screen on.
I tried then the manual code for the sprint based LG2 models... pushed services.jar onto phone and it did not work at all, and still left me with a ugly lag on screen on.
I have re-flashed Blazer Rom and am once again twiddling my thumbs... PLEASE HELP!

You know, its posts like these that make threads longer then they need to be and are completely unnecessary. Why even post anything if your not going to help?
*UPDATE
I have just tried to replace the services.jar in the /system/framework folder, rezipped, resigned, and re-flashed the ROM. Again, it is not working. Any help would be appreciated.
Also, thank you wildgamer100.
Guys, it is IMPOSSIBLE if you are running LG8. You could hack it in the whole framework but that would be way too much work. Samsung messed with the SurfaceFlinger and it broke the CRT animation. Sorry.

Thank you for clearing that up Clark44, If I can bother with a few other questions?
Is it possible after updating to LG8, to flash the modem back to LG2 and then make the modification?
Or, do you know where I can find an outdated version of a ROM, aside from ACS Syndicate ROM, that is still in LG2?
Thanks again!

Hey Zeke, i was also wondering of getting CRT animation off to work but on Telus i747M (its like ATT) and my firmware is original stock LE8! But I dont know if its safe to replace system files (services.odex) from international SGS3 http://www16.zippyshare.com/v/31271240/file.html . So how did it work on ur sprint? Wouldnt it brick your phone being different hardware and all that??

No I was desperate enough for CRT to try it. What happened for me was...
Downloaded file, placed on ext sd on phone storage.
Installed from sd card via CWM
CWM reported that installation was a success
Although when I rebooted, nothing...
So good luck bro, I didn't have any bricking issues, and let me know what happens!

It seems that upon boot the services files revert back to original ones since they are controlled by the framework itself, therefore do nothing on LE8 either since the whole rom needs to be remodified to include CRT animation fyi on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1715238 there is crt mod for every firmware version. I have absolutely no idea thou why it would work on tmobile LG2 out of a sudden, so report back when u install that LG2 rom and the CRT files u used (probs we are using different mods).

acjohnson, CRT Animation is when you turn off your screen, or on, and it collapses on itself, check the video

I'll see what I can do for you
Edit: No idea if this is going to work. Samsung has a proprietary file format for boot animations so I don't know if this will even work. That being said, you'll need to check /data/local for any old boot animations, then check /system/media for any old ones, then delete those first. Then reboot into recovery and try flashing this. Once again, I have no idea if this will work, so flash at your own risk. I would try it but I'm on stock right now.
If it does work, it will only work with stock AT&T Stock Roms. You shouldn't have anything to lose. If it doesn't work, delete the two files in /system/media that it flashes and I'll do my best to get you something here soon. I have an exam tomorrow so I might not be able to get ti to you immediately.
http://www.mediafire.com/?1z4lmflvq5a1gtv
Edit 2: I found the files from the proprietary format already extracted somewhere. I changed the text file for 720x1280 resolution so this should "theoretically" flash on any rom with custom bootanimation support. Try this one first. I have excluded the sound file for this one.
http://www.mediafire.com/?fa6a3rl7mkkz018
Last but not least, here's a stock AOSP Jelly Bean boot animation from the Galaxy Nexus that I made, tested, and use in case you decide you want something else that's more stock-android. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1888848

Alright give me some time and I'll edit it and see what I can do for you
Edit: Okay my friend you should be good to go. I figured out the issue and this should fix it for you. Let me know if you have any more issues. This animation will flash on any 720x1280 phone. Just flash from recovery as you did before. I don't know if I can locate the sound for you, but if you really want I can try to find it. Hope you enjoy!

Weird, this is making me pull my hair out. I've made several boot animations and I can't figure out why this one is going crazy. I'm going to send a few messages to have someone review my work and make sure I'm not making some sort of stupid mistake. I'll try uploading 1 more time and you let me know what happens. I think I may have found the issue but I'm not sure. Oh well here you go:

I will flash smartguy's kernel again to test this out. My txt file with configuration is exactly the way it should be...if anyone has any ideas please throw them out there.
What I did part 1: Go to /system/media and make sure bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg are both deleted or moved to another location. Still experiencing issue that you are with stock UCALH9 and the unlocked kernel. Still hearing audio from boot animation. The animation is not looping the way that it should. After deleting those files, the animation plays, but does not move on the part1 folder to loop the image like it should. I've tried one of my other boot animations and it works just fine. It might take me awhile but I'll figure this out. I'm really busy with school right now and I will try to finish it when I can.
With the inverted one on koontz kernel I get a blank screen

You're totally welcome dude. I'm glad I was able to figure it out for you. I plan on trying to find the audio file for bootup too and maybe something special for the inverted version. Enjoy and keep an eye on my thread for this.
