I just installed CWM through SFHub's Autoroot package, and my boot animation changed upon the automatic reboot to the animation that just says "Android". Is that normal, and is it something i should be worried about if its not normal?

You're fine. As long as it booted, you're fine.
That's a fallback bootanimation when no other one is detected. The same thing would happen if you were using a kernel that used the qmg format over 'bootanimation' but you had a bootanimation zip in /system/media.
The only time you should be worried is when your boot animation is static
That almost never occurs on our phone so your good

Alright. Thanks.
If i wanted to change my boot animation how would I go about doing so? Is there a thread you can point me to?

yup normal, same thing I got until I flashed Blu Kuban
Can't name any threads off the top of my head. Just search 'how to install bootanimation' With Samsung, the type will matter (qmg vs bootanimation) depending on the kernel. As far as I know, most custom kernels support bootanimation zips. just read the OP to check.
Now, most will have a CWM flashable package but if you find one in a ROM you want or it's not wrapped in a nice package:
It goes in /system/media and must be named 'bootanimation.zip' the permissions are rw-r-r (though I'm sure r-r-r works too).

Hey guys hopefully someone can help me with this issue. I odin'd tp the stock ext4 plus rom in the development forum which works fine however then i flashed genocide 1.0 rom over the top if that to get the OC/UV features and when i booted i got the word "android" in the middle of the sprint boot animation then i flash a custom boot animation now the sprint and custom boot animations are mixed together when booting any suggestions to get rid of sprint animation?
Whenever you have android flashing in the middle, that means you had a bad flash. Just pull the battery and reflash the ROM/kernel in CWM and you should be fine.

Not true when u have the android name flashing it means it supports custom boot animation. Best bet is to get root explore go into system/ media. Look for bootanimation.zip and delete it then flash the new one

Try taking a bootanimation from a rom that u like and push it to system/media. For example download a rom extract it go into the system/media folder look for the bootanimation.zip copy that put it on ur sd card then with root explore take it and copy it to ur system/media then reboot see if that works

Really?? Then I'm confused because the first time I flashed SRF it flashed the android name while trying to boot. Just re-flashing the ROM fixed it. I thought this was the same situation.

just flash this stock boot animation cleaner which deletes the stock animation files so you dont have an overlap...
http://chris41g.users.foss-net.org/epic_stock_boot_cleaner.zip
then flash any bootanimation.zip you want, lots in the theme section.. here is the stock animation in bootanimation.aip form.. or as close as can be to the stock animation anyway...

Can some one post a thread on how to install custom themes and splash screens? I've been searching like crazy , I figured out how to push bootanimations which is great just don't know how to flash custom themes and splash screens. P.s I just need the links ..
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
You flash themes through recovery just like you would a rom - just make sure it's compatible with your phone and rom. Some roms have theming built in so you don't have to flash, ie CM7 and MIUI.
I've never used a splash screen before, but I'm sure installation instructions would be in the thread for the splashscreen.
Or Google.

I'm running cm7 latest build and I tried flashing darkhorse theme I put zip in root of SD rebooted to recovery wiped cache and dalvic, then flashed zip ..it just loaded back to recovery and said choose update zip? I'm lost???
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
What Recovery are you using? After it flashes it should send you back to the choose zip screen. Are you sure it's a flashable zip and not an apk for the Theme Chooser that was zipped?

darkhorse is a flashable theme. i think you're doing everything rigt, just back out to the main menu and reboot then.
check the link in my sig for the splash screening. it's a tutorial i made that lets you install any splash using either a manual ruu push or a pc36img.zip ruu. i'll update it soon to include recovery flashing, using edify scripts. just realized ur posting from xda app. lemmie give you the link... edit: here ya go http://tinyurl.com/47xqb4k
I have a rooted epic, no roms. Using the genocide kernel. It overlays the android icon over my boot screen. Is there any way to remove this? Thank you.
If you're running a rom... head to the themes and apps section. There you can find boot animations that you can flash through clockwork.

As I just said "no rom" I want to keep the stock boot animation (which I have) but there is a sideways "android"overlay over it, that's what I'm trying to get rid of.

Go to /system/media and delete the file called "bootanim". The only file you should have having to do with boot animations in the media folder, is the file called bootanimation.zip..

I just tried deleting the bootanim using astro, it won't let me.
You have to use root explorer.

Dammit man.. That deleted my factory boot animation, not the annoying android one, which is the only available now... How do I get the factory one back, and get rid of the android overlay
Misinformation in here lol... you would need to delete /system/bin/bootanimation to keep stock and get rid of the ability to use custom boot animations, but you need a copy of the file you deleted back....

Here it is. Just remove the .zip.zip (screwed up the rename) at the end. I had to add that to upload it. Put it back in system\media with root explorer.

I THINK we're misunderstanding what your problem is. Wipe cache/dalvik 3x in CWM and reflax the kernel. It was probably caused by a back flash.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
no its caused by support for custom bootanimation.zip in his kernel but he only wants to run the stock animation, so he needs to del the bootanimation binary from /system/bin/ so that only the /system/bin/playlogos1 binary plays the stock animation...
I don't know if this has been clarified or fixed but he is talking about the kernel splash that comes with Genocide. It appears after the Samsung Mobile screen but before the actual boot animation. I have a custom boot animation and I see it, but only after flashing the genocide kernel. It says: "IAP powered by: Genocide."
Not that I mind that much, I do like the bios boot but I figure I should leave it on there. If nothing else it reminds me to give thanks to me devs!
Pretty sure he's talking about the sideways greenish grey android logo you get if you don't have a bootanimation.zip. its in the bootanimation binary, which is called from the init.rc in the kernel. The stock animation is called by the playlogos1 binary, which is run at the same time, which is why they overlap.. if you have a zip, you don't see the stock animations...

Im curious as how to remove the IAP logo? I love supporting Devs and all but with the Samsung logo, IAP, AND the Boot Animation its just too much. Id prefer just the annoying Samsung logo and my own boot animation (which I already have).

so if I remove the "init.rc", it will remove the splash screen that comes with the genocide rom ??...i have srf and the genocide splash screen appears before the normal bootanimation for my phone..its a bit annoying (just a preference, love his work but i don't like the splash screen)
Thought some of you might want this. And I haven't seen anyone mention this or post it on our forums but I found it at they Galaxy note section .I flashed this on cm9 and it's working great

yep looks nice too. I have the shutdown animation but not the audio file. op, do you have the s3 PowerOff file??
boot anamation zip
Do you need to delete or remove the exsisting files in those folders?
i followed the read me on that thread to get the charger noise and startup up sounds, copied to correct folders, but no sound. Wasnt there something i needed to do where i would have to add an mp3 file or wav file with the same name as the included *.ogg files (ex. put Charger_Connection.ogg in the correct folder but also add like Charger_Connection.wav or .mp3) ??
edit: permissions are set correctly as well
Can i flash this through cwm on calks 3.0 without messing anything up
Flashed it but it looks really stretched. Takes up about 2/3rds of the screen.

I tried to flash a formatted Bootanimation.zip file in recovery but it doesn't seem to be working. I have Franco Kernel installed and although I have "custom boot animation" unchecked, it seems to boot his animation anyways. Is this a Franco Kernel bug or a problem on my side? How do I fix this?

Search franco's thread for specific issue; if not found, post it there.
Bootanimation.zip should be under /data/local.

bootanimation.zip isnt a flashable. you have to put it in /system/media/ or /data/local/ with a root file explorer(then reboot for it to take affect).
I wasn't directly flashing the boot animation.zip file, it was in a formatted zip file as I was trying to explain. By I guess I'll just manually insert it like you guys suggested. Thanks!

Don't forget permissions need to be rw-r--r--.
