Enabling boot animations in FE10 build with sfhub's Plus kernel - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Had to post this here instead of the dev thread for sfhub's One-click FE10 because I haven't hit my 10 posts yet, but here goes...
Here's how I a boot animation working on the leaked FE10 build (with sfhubs Plus kernel):
I grabbed one of the animations from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=985251 (Make sure it's one of the .zip's and not a flashable one)
I used the "Hack custom bootanimation support" method that I found in the Epic 4g Touch Owner's Toolkit
Basically, is says to do this: (With a root file explorer, so that you can mount the needed system folders as R/W)
1. Rename /system/bin/samsungani to something else... (eg samsungani.old)
2. Rename /system/bin/bootanimation to /system/bin/samsungani
3. After that it will load whatever bootanimation is at /system/media/sanim.zip
Now, on FE07 this worked perfectly with the bootanimation.zip renamed to sanim.zip, but when I upgraded to FE10 and tried it, it didn't work. I took my original bootanimation.zip and put in the /system/media folder (left sanim.zip just in case), rebooted, and voila. A cyan android with spinning particles.
I hope this helps the devs over there.

Okay success, to make it work I don't rename bootanimation.zip to sanim.zip I let the original bootanimation.zip and worked.
BTW I founded the same info googleing for it jejejjee

To be honest, I'm not sure which one works. I have them both in there right now. sanim.zip worked for me on FE07, but didn't on FE10...

Going to give it a shot. Thanks for the heads up!

I think what may be going on is that one of the kernels may not have bootanimation support (I see multiple versions of kernels floating around) and that is why using the default animation file is working on one version and the bootanimation is working the way it should on the other. (Sorry, can't remember which way it went LOL)

Well I did this:
1. Rename /system/bin/samsungani to something else... (eg samsungani.old)
2. Rename /system/bin/bootanimation to /system/bin/samsungani
Then grabbed a boot animation zip file and made two copies of that.
Named one: sanim.zip
Named the other: bootanimation.zip
Copied both of those zips to the
/system/media/
folder,
set permissions and it worked.
I am using sfhub's plus kernel.

if you can get the animations in .qmg format, you can just overwrite the original files in /system/media. i pulled bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg from calk's rom and used those.
quick and easy.

I've been using the particles Boot Animation for a while on GB.
I am running Calks 1.5, ICS 4.0.3 at the moment. Would a few of you mind checking out the attached flashable zip for me. Just the one color for now. Thanks.
Edit: I'm still on FD26, please test this on the latest kernel releases as well.

This is the boot animation with audio and shutdown with audio from the original samsung galaxy s II. in my opinion they are much cleaner, and classier than some of the others... I like a simple clean look.
Here is the boot animation. I have tested and it works for stock roms, custom roms version was tested and works. SSConceptz zipped it for flashing. Thank Him!

Sorry Guys, I thought they were done uploading, apparently not...
I love the power on and power off animations, clean, simple, and no carrier branding...
Thanks was really looking for a replacement to Sprints splash during shutdown.
Thanks will try these when I get home.

There is no bootanimation.zip or sanim.zip in this folder currently. Does that matter? If you have it installed how do you not know which name is correct for it to work?
Also, there is a bootsamsung.qmg file in here, I would think that is the animation file?

I am running Midnight ROM 2.2, with Kernal that came with it...
What Rom are you on? - I guess I should have been more clear... If you are stock rooted, this may not work, depending on what kernal you are running. the Kernal needs to support boot animation. Unfortunately I dont have the original Galaxy S II qmg files. I am sure they are out there, but the only way to test them is to install the bootsamsung.qmg from a GSII in the same location, and overwrite the existing. do you have cwm on your phone? can you make a backup first? I highly recomend you do that!~
As far as power on, just replace the poweron.ogg file, or you can convert the wav file i included to an ogg file with a converter, I dont think that will matter. the sound should work either way.
as far as the shutdown animation and sound...
I am updating the OP Now~ sorry for the confussion...

Okay, thanks for some clarification. I am on Stock Pulled kernel with CWM5. I was able to get it working with a minor change to your steps.
Here is what I did to get it to work:
1) Download Original SGSII without boot animation support.zip file in OP
2) Unzip contents to location on phone (internal or external is fine)
3) Nandroid backup in CWM5 just in case
4) Using Root Explorer, copy bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg to system/media. Fix permissions to be like other files.
5) Copy PowerOn.wav to system/etc. Fix permissions
6) Copy shutdown.qmg to system/media/video/shutdown. Fix permissions
7) Copy PowerOff.wav to system/media/audio/ui (this is different than stated in OP) Fix permissions
8) Reboot and should be good to go.
Also, just a note, the PowerOn.wav file is exactly the same as the one that already exists on the stock rom. It is already the Samsung sound so no need to really copy that file if you are on stock.
Thanks for helping us get rid of the ugly Sprint boot animation!!
Awesome... Glad you got it working!
I wish I knew how to compile a flashable zip for CWM. It would be easier for others if they could just flash the corresponding zip for the ROM they were on...

Thanks for the modified install procedure. Works for me now.
I replaced the PowerOn.wav with a .wav file I found at freesounds.org. It's quite different and fresh/new!

I tried the steps outlined by satur9ine, but wasn't able to successfully change the boot/shutdown animation. I'm using root explorer; and copying the files over to the named locations but still no dice. My current boot animation (android) remains. Any suggestions?

Followed these steps, mainly the Audio Shutdown directions and now I have the shutdown audio.
I created a flashable for stock roms and I can post if someone needs it. I can make one for modded roms but I need to know what the difference is and what files aren't required.

OK OP if these flashables work for everyone, feel free to add to the OP.
Ok here is the boot animation. I have tested and it works for stock roms, custom roms version was tested and works. I did not create this animation, I just zipped it for flashing.

Issue changing boot animation

Running TNz Blend 2.6.2 with gunslinger.
I put the bootanimation.zip file in system/media and deleted the old file. I changed permissions. I tried renaming the file to sanim.zip. All I get now is the ANDROID logo.
I also tried the following:
How to replace/add a boot animation
1.Download or extract a bootanimation.zip
2.Place the bootanimation.zip on root of your SD card (or use a cloud app i.e. Dropbox, Minus, Box, etc.)
3.Make a copy of the bootanimation and name it sanim.zip and move that to your SD card as well
4.Open a root manager app (I prefer Root Explorer)
5.Navigate to system/media
6.Select Mount R/W (top right in Root Explorer, on by defauly in ROM Toolbox) then either delete, or move existing bootanimation.zip and sanim.zip
7.Navigate back to sdcard, then copy or move bootanimation.zip to system/media and then repeat with sanim.zip
•Some people replace only the bootanimation.zip and others only the sanim.zip, but I find each of those methods seem to create issues if the kernel you are running does not support custom bootanimations by default. So I replace both zips and it has worked well on multiple ROMs/Kernels. If this doesn't work for you, try replacing each individually. One of the three methods will definitely work for your ROM/Kernel combo.
•User 12MaNy has created a thread with several bootanimations available as well some methods for install
•Boot animation sounds can be found/added at /system/etc/poweron.wav and /system/etc/1_Power_on.ogg (may be listed as /system/etc/poweron.bak and /system/etc/1_Power_on.bak if these have been "muted".)
•Also make sure to check and see if your dev has already moded the boot ani setup as nerys71 discovered here.
How to hack custom bootanimation support (Via chris41g) Only works with source built kernels. Thanks dtm_stretch.
1.Rename /system/bin/samsungani to something else... (eg samsungani.old)
2.Rename /system/bin/bootanimation to /system/bin/samsungani
3.After that it will load whatever bootanimation is at /system/media/sanim.zip
After doing the steps above, I get a black screen during boot.
Any help is appreciated.
All I do is rename the old one to .bak and put the new one in system/media and reboot ...works on cm 9

Apparently that should work, but it hasn't for me. I also tried when I was on the Blazer rom.

Custom Boots

Have a nandroid backup just in case something goes wrong, Ive softbricked before many times actually just for trying to change a bootanimation. It can happen.
If you already have been using data/local for install location and its working for you great. I just noticed that i used my steps below but left out changing installation directory, so ive been installing to my data/local and my changes have been taking effect. After installing bootanimations i noticed my location was data/local then i went to change it to system/media and install a animation and nothing changes. So i am using data/local now as my target, im guessing if i were just to delete the boot zip from data/local my system/media bootzip will play only because i have a bootanimation.zip already installed to that directory as well, im not going to try it yet but maybe on a rainy day with downtime on my hands ill try it. But after all said the locations of install are working just fine, in the OP instructions are just one way of setting a valid default installation. Im guessing which ever location you started using first is the location you should continue to use.

INSTRUCTIONS BELOW
NOTE:"Before using romtoolbox"Open romtoolbox go to bootanimations, press your menu softkey, press install location, change common locatioms value to /system/media/ select ok. Now If you are using a stock rom but a kernel that supports boot animation (and you are rooted), using rootexplorer or a similiar app go into system/bin. Find samsungani and rename it to samsungani.bak. Now find bootanimation in system/bin and rename bootanimation to samsungani. Thats it. Now all bootanimations correctly placed in the system/media will work upon boot... "
After the above has been setup on your device you can now navigate to your gif file in a file explorer app. Once you click the gif file window pops up and use gif to bootanimation, then choose to install..
or
ONLY IF YOU ALREADY COMPLETED THE STEPS ABOVE;
If you already completed the above steps with naming samsungai to samsungani.bak, and bootanimation to samsungani in the /system/bin, and changed location install to /system/media/ then you can download the bootanimation.zip and manually copy paste it into /system/media/ via root explorer or you could even open romtoolbox goto bootanimations then choose local tab then find the bootanimation.zip click it then choose install, then reboot your phone.
Because this site has bugs when uploading i have to name bootanimations over and over again (they get overwritten) so you have to rename the bootanimation after downloading to bootanimation.zip

[Request] Current AOKP Boot Animation

I found the boot animation for AOKP, and I tried simply putting it on my phone and that didn't work out. So, could someone either make it where I can simply flash it or has it already been fixed for our E4GT phones?

Knowing that you are running PACman you should be able to take your bootanimation.zip file and place in /system/media using ES File Manager or similar app change permissions to rw-, r--, r-- and reboot. Hope that works for you.
Nope, that doesn't work with the file I attached to the OP. Just did as you instructed and it booted my phone black (sounds like it booted fine, but everything is black). So, I had to go into recovery and restore a backup. This is the problem I'm having...either the file in the OP isn't the right one for my phone, or something. I did set the permission and placed the bootanimation.zip in the /system/media folder and that is what happened.
I downloaded the AOKP rom and extracted the bootanimation.zip file...moved it to /system/media and set permissions as --rw --r --r and rebooted and same crapola...black screen...had to restore a backup.
Does it have to be somehow converted to a qmg file? If so, how come it isn't one in the AOKP rom then?
Here is the file...
https://www.dropbox.com/s/93orocmsfc68j8k/bootanimation.zip
FYI...Rom Toolbox installs it pre-installed bootanimations just fine and they work. I only have issues when I try to do one myself outside of Rom Toolbox. :/

Interesting... Question, when you copy the files manually to the /system/media folder is it replacing a different bootanimation.zip file? If not, then it must be located in the "/data/local" location? You could try copying there? As far as being converted to qmg format, pretty sure that is only the case for Touch Wiz ROMs. I have had the "Blackout", boots fine situation myself. If I get a chance tonight I will load PACman and see if I can help that way. Sorry can't be more help.

Yeah, it was replacing one. I just double checked /data/local and there isn't anything regarding bootanimation there.
I just opened the PACman zip that I have installed on my phone and found the bootanimation.zip and it is in /system/media and it is a series of jpg files (two folders full). The only difference between the CM animation and the AOKP one is that the AOKP one are PNGs instead of JPGs.
If you are still interested in this weird problem...here is what I have tried...
I converted the PNG files to JPGs...rezipped, put on phone, confirmed correct permissions after placing it in /system/media/
The only progress is that it didn't keep my phone black after boot...only a black/blank boot animation.
Files are 480x800
Here you go don't forget to set permissions to rwx r-x r-x

Let me know if work for you. Just try it on mine and it boot up fine. The problem w/ bootanimatios are usually compression lvl.

S3 Matrix Boot animation for STOCK ROM

I've searched and searched but could never find a Matirx code rain boot animation made for the Samsung Galaxy S3 for a STOCK ROM. Bootanimation.zip files don't work on a stock ROM for the S3 so I took some of the better ones I found in zip files and converted them to the .qmg files that the S3 wants. I've included the boot animation as well as the shutdown animation and the Matrix sounds for them also.
You do need to have ROOT to install these and ROOT Explorer is recommended to copy them into the right folders and change permissions. If you aren't rooted I highly recommend 'towelroot' and it doesn't get any easier than that app for rooting.
Download my zip file then:
- rename your existing files (the ones that have the same names as I have included in the Zip file) in the folders listed below to something else you will remember like bootsamsung.bak and do this for each file you will be replacing with ones I have included in the Zip file.
- I suggest a complete backup with TWRP in case anything goes wrong. If you don't have TWRP get it - best thing going and I also use an app called 'Quickboot' which lets you get into TWRP recovery without having to do the 3 finger grip on the buttons you normally need to do to get into recovery.
- copy bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg to your system/media folder with Root Explorer
- use Root explorer change permissions on them to rw-rr
- copy the *.ogg (sound) files to system/media/audio/ui folder
- copy shutdown.qmg to system/media/video/shutdown folder
- use Root explorer change permissions on them to rw-rr
Reboot and enjoy a reminder of one of the best movies ever made !
I wish I could recall where all the parts for the above animations came from but I am not sure. Some probably came from xda forum so if any of these were from something you created I'll gladly give credit. I did have to resize exactly 100 pictures to make them the correct size for the Galaxy S3. However the shutdown animation came from somewhere else and did not need to be resized or rebuilt. I used Samsung's Theme Designer to convert the files to the needed qmg format for Galaxy's. There is about 3 pages of instructions on how to do that Here
The .ogg files were from my own collection of Matrix sound files and ringtones and used another program to convert them from MP3's to OGG files.
BTW if I am wrong about not being able to use bootanimation.zip files on a Galaxy S3 please let me know. I tried every way to Sunday to try using them but had no luck. I don't mind flashing a good ROM but I don't trust flashing a bootanimation file and I'm not even sure you can do that on a stock S3 ROM. If anyone has more info on that please post here. I've still got a lot to learn
