ICS startup shutdown on 2.3.6? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Anyone have a way to add ICS startup and shutdown animations to stock rooted de-ciq'ed 2.3.6?

I've seen it custom roms so far, it would be once to a least add it

I would be most interested in this. I'm unable to find any ICS boot animations in this section. Anyone know if it can be extracted straight from the GN and simply be placed in the boot animation directory without consequences?

You need a kernel/rom that supports bootanimation.zip
The stock/touchwiz based roms use a .qmg file for the animation instead.
Also the images in the bootanimation.zip would need to be modified for our resolution 400*800 as opposed to the 1280*720 of the Nexus.
The bootanimation.zip is already available for 400*800 devices & I can confirm it works beautifully on CM7

Thanks for the response
I'm running Darkside's kernel which supports custom boot animations so thats not a problem.
I assume thats what a CWM flash able zip flashes correct?
Sounds reasonable
Pardon me, but I was unable to find the thread containing the ICS boot animation, could you point me in the right direction?

Do not assume, no it is not a flashable .zip, you will need to manually insert to system/etc/media/
I usually rename the existing one to bootanimation.zip.bak just in case.....
Let me see if I can post it for ya !

Change Boot Animation

I have been looking around and have seen some different apps that say they can change it, and other hacks to do it.
What is the easiest way to change the animation boot screen?
Currently right now when I boot up, I see the HTC Quietly Brilliant image, and then a blink and it shows the same thing, but animated. The animated one I want to change.
You must be rooted to perform this otherwise it won't work.
I think that 'boot animation changer' can handle it.

Yes you can
Theirs also an option to import any other anime you download from within the app
Yes, I know all that.
I am asking what the quickest and easiest way to do it is.
And how well does that App work with the Desire?

unless your using a rom that has symlinked the bootanimation.zip to data/local as aposed to /system/customise/resorce/ there is no app that can change the bootanimation.zip, you will have to do it manually using adb
Didn't he just say boot animation changer can do it?

unpack the .zip and look inside, see if bootanimaton.zip is in data/local or system/customise/resorce

how do I change the start boot?

i tried deleting the boot up file...
And for the boot up sound how do I change that?
sgs tools doesnt work...
First off are you rooted? Second are you running a custom rom? If these apply then it should be as easy as replacing the bootanimation.zip file of your choice in the "system/media" folder.

Correct me if I'm wrong (anyone) but I think as of now there's no boot animations mods for ee03 (GB).

Sorry can't (don't know how to) post links using the xda app. Just look under the "themes and app" section and you'll see a few posts on boot animation. There's different types but the method is the same. Again it depends if your running a custom rom

[Boot animation] Help. Can somebody tell me why this boot animation doesn't work?

I put it in both system/media and data/local, but when my phone boots, it's just a blank screen. What gives? And of course, when I swap it back to the stock bootanimation.zip using the same method, it works like a charm. Are there some sort of specifications I'm not adhering to with my JPGs?

I've found that when you have it in both places, it won't work.
IDK which Rom you're on, so it'd be hard to tell you which is correct.
(Gonna take a look at your zip right now, though.)

Hey, I took a look at your file: it looks correct, unless the compression on your txt file is wrong, which I can't see from here.
(But it looks right.)
Anyway, I don't know how you're installing it, but putting it in data/local along with system/media will not work.
I made a couple of CWM flashable zips for you right quick, since I'm not sure which rom you're on:
Use this one for "stock" rooted kernel:
edit:nopenopenope
Use this one for the others, including AOSP roms:
http://db.tt/9zIhRr4i
Note: YMMV, as I've seen posts lately about custom kernels that don't support custom bootanimations... good luck with that, that'd be beyond my control.
Lmk which works for you, though.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
EDIT: Jesus, don't flash these!
edit two:
Dude, I got crossed up and thought this was for a completely different device:
I thought for some reason this was the EpicTouch4G Forum.
(The advice about where to put your bootanimation might work, as will the flashable "non-stock" version, but the updater script for the "stock" kernel zip file will NOT. It will try to write to a specific dev/block, and that is NOT for the Gnex.
Sorry. I'll pull that one.)
Sorry, I should have mentioned my ROM. Android Revolution HD 2.1
What happened when you tried flashing them?

looks like you saved the zip with compression; cannot have any compression. you must set the zip to 'store' mode

Exactly, I had same troubles.
Use 7zip, and change the "compression level" setting to "store". That means no compression. It should do the trick.

Kernel Messages boot animation

Hi,
I have made this custom boot image for myself and I wanted to share it.
I have disabled the bootanimation and I have enabled the kernel messages instead.
just flash the boot image and remove/rename /system/bin/bootanimation
if anyone is willing to help I would create an update zip which flashes the boot partition and renames /system/bin/bootanimation
Cheers,
Matteo

I really don't think so! This is as far as I know a modified Galaxy nexus boot image.
The thread was moved to "Galaxy Nexus Themes and Apps" but I don't really think that it's correct.
Tecnically it isn't a boot animation, is a kernel hack to disable it and show the "raw" boot.
Everything that is printed is printed by the TTY subsystem, it's not rendered by a bootanimation
this is awesome. I disabled my boot animation and it only shows the kernel messages for a few seconds then a plain android boot animation appears. Is there any way to make it longer or is that all that is supposed to come up?
i am on aokp b37 also.
good work!
@teknoraver
I would like to add this as a completely new section in my boot animation thread if that's cool??
Couple of clarifications though:
This looks more like a kernel edit to me and therefore this is somewhat ROM specific in that if folks flash this boot.img it will disable certain ROM specific features controlled by the kernel?
Assuming the above is true, a per ROM boot.img would need to be created to make this work whilst preserving all functionality?
To give an example, if you flash a custom kernel over cm9 you will find some of the settings options are blanked out and you are no longer able to use them unless you have a specific kernel control app or you start fiddling around with init.d scripts.
This sounds kind of like "live logcat", is it similar?

No it's different.
Livelogcat is a bootanimation which draws logcat messages in a complex manner.
My patch disables the animation and let the kernel print messages like it does on PC and servers:

Here, flashable zip in recovery
Using any kernel format installer (koush) does not touch the existing ramdisk (no problem on CM etc)
and Kernel.Messages.bootanimation_Restore.zip reverting /system/bin/bootanimation
(Edit : If you deleted that file already, flash Installing_system.bin.bootanimation.zip to restore)
I used image flasher GUI on my ns4g but apparently it is not supported for gnex. What are some other methods of flashing an image.

How to install Diff. Boot Animations?

Hey If possible is there a tutorial on how to install book Animations on The ATT S3? Its rooted and I have Root Explorer installed.
Thanks
I believe it only is possible on CM and AOKP roms, and they have built in options for that.

It would depend on the kernel. Check for a kernel that supports boot animations.

The following is where you can find kernel boot animations that can be flashed in CWM. It does not matter what Rom you are on but it may not work on all Kernels. I can confirm ktweaker and stock work. Obviously you want to have a Nandroid ready http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951551
The following is the tool used to create your own. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1928751

I'm not entirely sure how to change the swirling Samsung logo itself, but this is a pretty cool start.
Here is a video of me going from stock to the splash screen created for me on page 33. Pardon the shakiness. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5F9H5a7nSY&feature=youtu.be

In fairness I did mention that I changed my splash screen. And while not exactly what he is looking for, it is up the same alley, at least within 1 second of boot time. If changing boot on stock is not possible, at least this is something.

Not mad at ya bro, just stating a fact. The first sentence in your post states this is where u can find kernel "boot animations" that are cwm flashable with provided link. Just didn't want anyone getting mislead or confused, that is all. I am currently using the good and evil one... Pretty cool...
Sorry guys this post has become convoluted rambling so I have edited it to try to make simpler.
1: My very first step was to flash the 'supernova _bootanimation_support.zip' file from the following link. It enabled bootanimation support for my rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2239130 (click 'flashable zips'')_
2: take bootanimation.zip file from any of the lower sites and push it to data/local and reboot.
This is the best one I have ever seen. The youtube link in the post shows video of it running on an S2, so I am posting a screenshot of it working on my S3. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1982078&highlight=boot+animation
Here is another one that I will confirm working http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30478959&postcount=20
Also this one if you open the zip /data and take the bootanimation.zip out and put in sd/data/local. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1888848&highlight=boot+animation
I am testing these and adding as I go.
