s-off unrevoked forever
amon ra recovery
tried changing boot animation with adb, pushboot, flashable signed zips.
new files get pushed/flashed to right location system/customize/resources but I'm still stuck with 'Quietly Brilliant' boot.
I was able to change my splash screen, but not the boot animation

I usually leave the original where it is but rename it to bootanimation.old then paste the new one in there. Then if you want the original back you just delete the new one and rename the original back to bootanimation.zip.

I usually use Root Explorer (found on market) to copy/paste the bootanimation. Couple thing you may want to check:
Is the bootanimation.zip compressed? If so the extract the files and re-zip using "store" as the compression setting.
Is the animation meant to be flashed or put in manually? Check this by opening the zip... if you see two folders: System, META-INF then its meant to be flashed... check the path to be sure its going to the right location. If you see 1or2 folders named part0, part1 etc accompanied by a TXT file called desc.txt, that is meant to be put in manually
Try the animations listed in my thread and if that doesnt work then post the animation your trying to load on my thread and ill look at it and see what i can do

This should come in handy. Thx!

Installing a boot animation

I am trying to change my boot animation on cm7 and have tried to change it to a pc36img file and it says parsing file. I also have tried to move it into the systems media folder using rootexplorer but I get a message stating its a read only file. I tried changing the permissions and still nothing. Any help would be appreciated. Im sure Im missing something here.

On root explorer, press on the top right where it says "mount" before you paste, it'll let you paste it.
Then just set permissions.

You have to make sure that you moved the file to the correct place, that the permissions match the original's, and that the boot animation was built properly. Try another and see if you get the same result. If you do, you're doing something wrong. If it works, there's something wrong with the boot animation you're trying to use.
You said it was a PC36IMG, so I'm thinking that it's the file. Usually boot animations are either moved manually or made into a flashable zip - splashscreens come as PC36IMGs. If you can attach the file, I'll take a look at it for you.

If you're manually placing it in the /system/media/ folder, which is what I recommend doing, then the file needs to be named bootanimation.zip and contain ONLY the png files and the required txt info file.
As plainjane said, splash screens are usually what are flashed via PC36IMG.zip files.

disk space?
it keeps tellin me i dont have enough disk space to copy and paste? i deleted the old boot anime, so how could i possibly not have enough??

Do you have a bunch of apps, maybe delete some that you dont use
?

K will try thanks would moveing apps to sd free space?

I had memory problems as well my first time applying a boot animation. I suggest using root explorer to delete some system wallpapers that you don't use. Should free up enough space for your big bootanimation

FYI, NEVER delete anything from your system folders that is currently working until you have a replacement that you know for a fact works. I usually rename the file with (backup) appended to the file name. That way I can go back if the file I am replacing it with is junk.

It dosent matter if its just a boot animation... I cut my phone back on before i got it workin

Uhh.....what?
1. Place the bootanimation.zip file below into /system/media/
2. DO NOT change the name at all.
3. Move preexisting bootanimation file somewhere into your SD card so that you don't lose it.
4. Then reboot your phone.
I know for a fact that the file is a good file because I've used it before. If your phone still screws up then you're most likely not putting it in the right location. The zip file size is just under 5MB. So make sure you have at least that much space free in your phone's internal storage.
I included thumbnail previews of the bootanimation. (I don't remember who created this bootanimation but it was not I.)
Edit: I think it was Dysgenic, or something like that, that created this bootanimation.

What i was saying is it doesent matter if you delete all boot animations and cut your phone on. It just defaults to a very simple android one... And that i had got it workin.

Oh ok. Glad to hear it.

[Q] Make a BootAnimation

Hi, everybody....
I've just edit a bootanimation.zip file, but It doesn't work. I use Nexus Prime bootanimation.zip, then I open it with WinRAR. I replace all *.jpg files that comes with Nexus prime bootanimation file by drag N drop several image file with .jpg extension. I also make sure that the file's name is same with Nexus Prime image.
After replacing, I send the new bootanimation to SD card, moving it to System/Media by using Root Explore, then Reboot my phone...
But, I don't see bootanimation while the phone's wake up...
Any solution??

Is the compression the same as the originals?
Sent from my LT15i using XDA App

Emmm.... I don't know about that... I've just replace the original image files with mine... Then just click "Ok". Am I wrong??

Hurm.
open original bootanimation using winrar,
make sure the file name and resolution that you are using same as the original inside the zip.
Now just drag and drop your file to the bootanimation.zip, it will overwrite the original file inside the. Zip.
Close zip and copy to sd, and place it in the right place. Set the permission if im not mistaken 6-4-4 or rw-r--r-- .
Now reboot and see if it boot using you custom animation.
But aren't bootanimation only in. Png format??
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium

Hai Nujhum... Yeah, right... I've done it before... Same with what you say...

Maybe try using something like 7-zip. I know for fact that WinRar sometimes changes something in the header of the file and even though it's ZIP file not all un-zip utilities can extract it.

[Q] Need help with boot animation

Is there anyone who can make this boot animation for our epic 4g? possibly flashable with the sound? would kill to have it... ive tried and cant seem to get it to work... it was created for the evo but we definetly need this one!! Just google modern warfare 4 boot animation or email [email protected] for link.. forum wont let me post it. but its easy to find
permission was given to port if needed but have no idea how.. sorry to be such noob. all credit for this goes to CrAcKaNuG for creating even if it was for evo
thanks to anyone, much appreciated

Should work fine without sound on an aosp rom but for touchwiz you'll need to rename it to sanim.zip and place it in the /system/media. And for the sound if you can find the file for sound take that and make it a .wav and rename it to PowerOn.wav. Should be placed in /system/etc I think... dunno I forget exactly.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

thanks
thats what ive been trying to do.. great with flashing anything not so great when it comes to modifying files.. i found the sound its a .rar file
thanks for all the help is there anyway to make this flashable through cwm for fc19 or fc09?
u rock

Its a little difficult if you can find a flashble that is used for bootnaimations then that might work... dunno off hand but you'd need to modify the updater-script which is daunting if you don't know what your doing.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Oh that and the .rar files... hmm its might be too long of a sound because the the PowerOn.wav will only play as long as the original boot sound is... so the sound is pretty pointless. If you get es file manager from the market, open it up and go to the settings and make sure its checked as root browser and that the system is mounted as rewrite then you can go to the favorites and go to the / which is the phone icon or your home. Once there find the /system folder then go to the /media folder then you can place the boot animation you renamed to sanim.zip and overwrite the current one. Reboot and it'll be done.

almost there
ok there is a bootani.qmg file and 1 called bootsamsungloop. do i delete both of these and add the zip?? also u were right on with the sound file there is a poweron.snd and poweron.wav file do i just convert the .rar file to .wav and replace just the .wav file?? thanks so much i think we r almost there... fingers crossed!! also found a flashable zip but its the full mw3 boot animation and i just want the begining part.. couldnt i just delete all the extra files to modify it?.. the sound is wrong too but can i just replace it with the other once i convert it?

LOL no no dont delete those files. The bootanimation.zip that you want which is the modern warefare bootanimation.zip... rename that to sanim.zip and place it in that folder... it will overwrite the one currently in there. As for the .rar i would forget it... its not worth it because it wont play the whole sound anyways.

Yes delete those files, otherwise they may flash screens of the Sprint boot ani.
Sent from my PantechP4100 using xda premium

trying this
the .rar sound for this is just a beat in the backround so really doesnt matter how long it is as long as i can make it work. do i just convert to wav an replace the other .wav? i can always shorten it to save space.

son of a!!
I just realized i updated to fc19 an is just stock rooted... so naturally it said i dont have permission to delete those files.. so i have to go back to fc09 and reflash the rom i had... kenny will the peoples rom work on fc19??

.rar is a zipped folder with winrar.. you have to extract that and depending on whats in that it might work.. other wise no. The sound is too big of a file so what they do is compress it and make it smaller to work. But in our case its not the size of the file but the length of the sound which is only like 10 seconds or so....

gonna try
gonna give this a shot but have to flash a new rom first. i dont think there is anything for fc19 so i guess im going back to fc09.. ive been have problems with the wi-fi staying connected on fc19 that i never had before so might be better off.. i would imagine that would be the fc19 modem?? ya think?

[Q] ICS and boot anamation

In the good old day when we had so many gingerbread options, if your rom allowed it you could change boot animation simply put zip into system/media now that we are moving on to ICS that no longer works, I did some searching that a second file needs to be made or placed for it to work, I tried toolbox but most of those although they do work are droid themes or lame. So the question is was anyone able to change the boot animation with a ICS rom, without using toolbox, if so please post how you were able to do it. I love the android pissing on apple boot. Does any one have that anmation by chance most links I found were to megaupload which has been shut down.

Once you find the one you want just place it into system\media make sure its named bootanimation.zip
It works with dark side evolution ics. I know because I made a animation from scratch and I run it in my phone.

The problem with the bootanimation.zip file you were trying to use was that when I unzipped and took a look into the desc.txt file, the second line where it states what folder to run first was not named the same as the folder that contained the images. So when you were telling your phone to look in a certain folder it was never found. In case you run into other problems follow these basic steps.
You need to unzip it and make sure that it is filed in the correct order. When a bootanimation.zip is made it consist of a desc.txt and at least one folder with many or few .png images. The folder that contains the .png images must be named the same in the txt file. In order of course of how you want to see it run. All this is stated in the desc.txt.
And to put it on your phone just copy paste into system/media make sure that you can RW in that directory. Then reboot and your good.
Or an easier way just do adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media from platform tools in your SDK.
XDA upload wasn't working so here ya go!

Ok first off big thanks to cesar, I didnt get his post at first and didnt feel like bothering him any more as he has been much to helpful so in lamemans terms, you need it to be in a zip format when you put it into system/media.....within that zip should be a folder containing you pics and a text file (what ever the folder is called should also be referenced in the text file) I was a little lost when I saw boot and tried several different ways till I got it, and now I understand, also I think within the text file you can set the size of video on the first line. Again big thanks to Cesar.

What about power on sound?
