[Q] ICS CM9 custom boot - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Who knows how i can add my own boot animation to cm9. I already split it up into jpegs and put the pics in the original bootanimation.zip inside of /system/media/ Ive even tried flashing it. It doesnt want to take it but my phone still boots up. Is their certain things I have to do besides replacing the pictures?

Get stock boot animation?

Hi everyone, I changed my boot animation using the app Boot Animation Changer. However now I need to return my phone to the store so I kind of need to get it back to the original boot animation. With the app I did "Stock animation" however it's not the right animation lol.
Is there anywhere I can get the stock boot animation to put on my phone, and how to do so with/without the app?
Thanks everyone

<ps, search first>
Great topic, but it doesn't provide the stock boot animation like I'm looking for, only the means to change the boot animation. I tried to search for it actually, but couldn't find anything in regards to finding the original EVO boot animation.
Anyone? Can't seem to find the stock animation.
^^; Doesn't anyone have a backup they could provide?
here is the stock bootanimation: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VMX4Z1ZG
you could also find it on any rom that uses stock bootanimation like DC (extract the zip file, go to resources>customize> and the bootanimation.zip should be there)

Oh I had no idea about it being on the ROMs, that would've been a lot easier. Thanks. :lol:
Though now with the new OTA I'm somewhat afraid to replace my phone, might just stick with my phone and the light leak as long as it doesn't get any worse.

You didn't have to root to change the lockscreen. You can fully customize it with Widgetlocker. It's a few bucks, but more than worth it. Look it up & check out the WL themes thread as well, there's some great stuff there.
I wouldn't base my rom on the bootanimation & lockscreen, as both can easily be changed. To change the bootanimation, you either need a flashable zip specific for your rom, knowledge of adb, or Root Explorer or another root-level file explorer. Find the boot animation you want to use and download it. If it isn't a flashable zip, you'll need to know where your rom stores the boot animation. On Sense based roms, the boot animation is stored in system/customize/resource. With Root Explorer (or an alternative) change the name of the original boot animation, and move the one you want to that folder, ensuring it's named bootanimation.zip then set permissions.
There are threads with lists of boot animations available to download, or apps that allow you to browse/install from their list.
If you're having trouble flashing through recovery, I suggest switching to Amon Ra. Whatever you tried to flash was probably amend scripted. Once you've switched recoveries, remember to do a backup!
I also suggest learning more about being rooted before making any significant changes. Know what & why you're doing something before you do it. Good luck & have fun

Boot and shut down animation speed

I installed my carrier's latest firmware, and they've gone and installed custom boot and shut down animations. That didn't seem like such a big problem, I see from the CSC files list that they replaced bootsamsung.qmg and shutdown.qmg (the looping 'S' animation at the end of the boot would still show). So, I went ahead and replaced these with the stock ones from an unmodified JVO, as I don't mind the stock animations. Unfortunately, the timing seems off. The boot animation runs too slowly, and the shut down animation runs too fast (I think - not 100% on that one). So, I take it that the speed of the animations is stored elsewhere, but I have no idea. If anyone knows, or has some idea, I would very much appreciate your assistance.
No one knows about how this works?
For anyone who comes across this, I've now discovered that the information was stored in /system/csc/customer.xml .

[Q] Replace cm9 boot screen

When my epic 4g shows a bright white screen, it flickers really bad, and the cm9 boot screen happens to show a bright white screen. It seems every time I try to change the screen, the installation fails or just doesnt work. I would like to find a boot screen that would work on my phone. preferably the stock ics one.

I use the aokp boot anim on pretty much whatever rom I'm on but what you could do is find a rom or theme with a bootanim you like and extract it go into /system/media and add .xxx to bootanimation.zip(.xxx) and put the one you like in(make sure its 480x800) and it should load that one instead of cm9. And if it doesn't work delete the one you put in and take the .xxx out of the old bootanimation.zip to go back to old cm9.
Hopefully that helps
Here you go this is the stock ICS bootanimation Stock ICS Bootanimation
Download this and place it in /system/media reboot and enjoy. or if you want a permanently place it in /data/local
Somewhere on the Cm9 blog is a flashable of the stock ICS boot animation that installs to data. This way you don't have to re-install it each time you update Cm9.

[Q] Power On Animation

I recently flashed LiquidSmooth 2.8.
Was wondering if anyone knew how to turn off the power on animation?
Are you referring to the bootanimation? Some roms and kernels hardcode theirs, and there seems to be no changing that [that i have cared enough to research]. You can change a bootanimation, or maybe perhaps delete it and see what that does. Definitely do a nandroid first though! The bootanimations are found in /data/local and/or /system/media.
Yeah the boot animation. In the past i was able to turn it off in settings. Maybe it is hard in there. Thanks.
