i have tried searching but cant find anything that will help. ive used the usual method of putting bootanimation.zip in system/media but it wont work i think the boot anim for rempuzzle is in a different location but i cant find it? can anyone help me?
I guess you should put it here,
system/customize/resources.
Not sure, but I think Sense ROMs have the boot animation under /data/local
thank you for your help, i wasn't expecting such a quick reply. I decided to do some digging about even further and i just came back to say i had found where to put it. you were right by the way it is in system/customize/resources. if anyone could put this info on the rempuzzle section it would stop root noobs like me clogging the forum
thanks to you both for the time.

Hi
Can anyone tell me how to make an update.zip file to change vodafones boot animation?
I would like to have the stock animation or a custum animation.
don't think this has been done yet as the images used on Samsung bootup are something like QMG images but there isn't a converter readily available yet
Wait, what? It's impossible even if we want to remove/change the boot? How come there are some threads explaining to change the boot sequence? And, I have a bunch of PNG Vodafone images on my phone.
PS: Why isn't there any response in all of the threads regarding changing/removing the boot sequence ? Newbie here.
Hi Pegart, i have no knowledge of custom boot animations but here is what i know.
Samsung Galaxy i9000 is very different from other android phones in the way the system is. The boot animation pngs you see are the shutdown ones and you could change it. With SGS tools (available free in market) you can change boot sounds. The startup is in qmg in which there is no way to change yet. over in the vibrant forums they are working on it and i think they have done it and you should ask in the vibrant forums how they done it which might help you
Hope this information helped you
Great, thanks for the answer. Much appreciated. Will check the Vibrant subforum.
Hi,
I'm looking at doing a full customization of my phone and I was wondering is it possible to add a downanimation.zip - a power off animation.
If it is, how would I do this? I've had a scan through the ROM zip and can't seem to find anything to help clear this up.
EDIT: I have downloaded a downanimation from here, resized it to 240 x 320 and followed syu78 instructions - "Download and move zip file into /system/media"
But, this has not worked, I still get the Power Off with Spinning Circle popping up instead?
EDIT2: I used this thread by Scratch0805 for creating a bootanimation with sound, could a similar script be used for doing downanimation with sound?

i dont actually know, but i am very interested in this, as it would be nice to have the option
Have you tried looking at the ROM of a device that uses it? And then try and make a work-around?

Yes,
I've read a bit about it - I can't remember where it was but I read about it being somewhere in /system/customize/
which I thought was on Sense ROM's??
I have also found a thread on CyanogenMod's forum saying that it is in /system/media and is either a downanimation.zip or a folder called shutdown - /system/media/shutdown
Anyone know any similar devices to ours that has a working downanimation? maybe the HTC Hero?
**BUMP**
anyone able to help develop this?
I have had a bit of a hard time finding much about changing that annoying whit HTC splash screen.here is what I have figured out ,might be helpfull for any of my fellow noobs ..ok,this is simple,there are many really cool custom screens you can find on here,pick the one you like,download it to your sd card.make sure it is named PG32IMG.zip ..power off your phone.holding volume down,power on your phone,this should take you to your h boot.once there give it a second,it will ask you if you want to update,press volume up,reboot your phone by pressing power,done!Hope you find this helpfull!p.s.there is also a good app for making your own screens on here somewhere .think its called splash flasher or something like that,look for it..
Understanding that you cannot post in the dev sections as of yet, I can see why you would post here. I'm in the same spot given I have utilized the forum for a long time but have not been active in the community. I noticed that your link did not come through properly. Here is a link to a splash screen modification that I use with success here. In conjunction with this I also modified my boot up and boot down animations although there are not a ton to chose from, I'm sure there are other threads out there. I just don't have the links. I used these boot up animations (w/ audio mod if you like) with success here. Love that gdi2290 Anyways, I did do some searching to find and ultimately found it through the all things root post found here which has a ton of information for Dinc2 users trying to get their root/modification legs. If anyone else has some decent links for splash screen, boot up, boot down, or other useful links. Add them to the pile.

Check out rom toolbox on the market. You can change boot animations with it. You used to be able to change boot screen also, but unless I'm overlooking it, that has been taken out.

No doubt, keep forgetting the features that app has because I have always used cwm manually (and have since moved on 4ext touch). Nice work!

I can never get the boot logos to work with that app.Love the themes and boot animations though.I think the paid version is well worth it!

There is a thread on here somewhere with a bunch of boot logos that you can download. It's pretty easy to change. Just rename the file and flash in bootloader. You have to make sure it's on the root of sd card. I don't think it works if it's in a folder.

First off, let me thank you for any help that I might get resolving this issue. Second, I have searched all over xda and cannot find this question about this particular phone, let alone an answer. Please be kind on me, I am not a complete noob, but I still have some learning to do as well. And forgive me if this is posted in the wrong place.
I have an At&t Samsung Galaxy S III running 4.1.1. It is rooted with custom recovery (TWRP) and stock rom. I have flashed Bootanimation4U.Samsungani.Only.zip, created a custom bootanimation.zip file, placed it in system/media and set the permissions with root explorer. The animation is working fine. I have also downloaded a sound.oog file that goes along with the boot animation. I renamed the sound.oog to PowerOn.oog, placed it in system/media/audio/ui, and set the permissions using root explorer and the sound plays just fine except there is a 3-4 second delay before the sound starts playing after the boot animation starts. This is driving me crazy. I know there was a similar issue with the Droid RAZR here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771089 . However, I have tried changing the desc.txt and that unfortunately didn't fix the problem on my phone. I cannot find any answer that has solved this issue. Please, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I have the same issue with a Sprint Galaxy Note II running 4.3. stock rom with TWRP recover. I really don't want to flash a custom rom but I will if you think it will fix this frustrating problem. Thank you
I've done some more digging and found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633685 that the audio driver configuration and policy implementation is located in /etc/tinyucm.conf . Based on this information and my own observation of the boot process, I think the sound delay is just a natural function of the boot process itself as the drivers take a few seconds to load after the boot animation starts. I could be way wrong. If anyone has any information about driver load priority, or anything that could help me solve this, I would be grateful for your help. I am wondering if there is any way to fix this by modifying the tinyucm.conf file? Probably not for what I am attempting, but if it can be done I would really like to know. I'm going to try to pull the file and see if I can make any sense of it. For now I have added a custom splash screen before the boot animation and sound starts. Since I am using android 4.1, I modified the desc.txt file to allow the boot animation to play until it finishes so it wouldn't get interrupted by the completion of the boot process. It is a lazy work around, but it works for now. As always, thanks for your help.
Hello! I've been trying for a very, very long time to change my boot animation. I've tried a lot of stuff, and none of it works. I've tried changing the bootanimation.zip, hTC_one_boot_up.zip, I've tried flashing a bootanimation.zip, nothing works. Can someone walk me through some steps to take to change it, and then listen to me to see if it works or not? I'd appreciate it.
Please bear in mind, although I've rooted it and all that jazz, I have a very rudimentary knowledge of my phone. So be careful about terms and such, as I might not understand everything.
Thanks in advance!

The information you give are a bit scarce.
How did you change the zips? (which one is the right one and where it should be located depends on the rom you are using).
Did you set the right permissions for the files after changing them?
Did you use a verified working zip file?

I apologize, it never notified me that you responded, so I'm sorry for the late response.
I would put my personal boot animation in the same folder as the original boot animation. Then I'd rename the original to something else (like bootanimation.zip.bak) and rename mine to bootanimation.zip (I also did this with the hTC.one.boot.up.zip).
I did change the permissions, rw-r-r, which is what I've been told they're supposed to be.
I don't know what you mean by "verified", but I always downloaded the animations either from websites that specifically host boot animations, or from users on forums that post their own. So I'm assuming at least one of the tens I've tried would've worked.
