[Bootanimation] Honeycomb Xoom boot animation

HiJust thought i would post this up for everyone to see.. I take no credit.. But it does work on our phones..
All credit to tntdroid from android central forums..
Also Big thanks to irieme for fixing it to work at 480x800, it looks perfect now thx!
bootanimation.zip for adding to system/media or data/local
and CWM flashable zip which will add it to system/media for you...
Make sure you have moved/deleted any other custom boot animation you had on your phone before..
If you want to go back to stock then just delete/move the bootanimation.zip file from the folder you put it in and you will be back at stock.
Simples!

how about posting a video or GIF how it looks ?

Like that but on our phones. ;-)
Also if you don't like it you can always delete the bootanimation.zip and return to samsung default boot screen.

no copy to system/media or data/local with root explorer..
if you want to flash it with cwm you need to make the update.zip using one you already have.. and replace the file that it was previously used for with the bootanimation.zip in either the system/media folder or data/local.
Make sense?

Works like a charm. Thank you very much-

The ratio is slightly off , but heck , it looks GREAT !
Thanks a million

I put the zip file in system/media still having the android text from darkys animation.

He may have put his own one in data/local if you see a bootanimation.zip in there move it to your SD card incase you want to use it again.
Then the honey one in system/media should work hopefully.

In /data/local there's a "tmp" named folder and inside it there's a .lck file.
In /system/media there's also the shutdown animation in a folder, but it shouldn't affect this boot animation I think, or does it?

It's so wonderful !!!

Now it works.. it just had something to do with me moving the bootanimation.zip to /system/media in the first place.
Maybe because it didn't replace the excisting file but it renamed itself.
Then I deleted the old bootanimation and renamed the new one.
Now that I deleted all the zip's and then moved the animation, it works perfectly, thanks!

(Q)>_< Deleted bootanimation.zip.....how can i get it back?

So I was screwing around trying to push a boot animation, deleted the bootanimation.zip in system/media and now all I have is the android boot ani.
Anyone know where I can find the bootanimation.zip from system/media, so I can at least flash boot animations again?
Thanks

It'll be in the install zip for whichever ROM you're currently using. Same place /system/media/.

Disabling Start Up and Shut Down Animations

..

This is how i replaced the tmobile start up and shutdown animations with international version's
Using root explorer or es file manger, navigate to system/media and rename bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg to something else. Then download one of the custom roms from dev section like freegs3 and unzip it. Navigate to same folder in the unzip and copy bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg to your phone.
Repeat the same for system/media/video/shutdown/shutdown.qmg
Thank me if i helped!

He wants to remove them tho, just rename the .qmg files to have .bak at the end. This will stop them from being used and will still be there to rename if you decide you want them back.

I'm about to do this but I want to be sure it won't cause a boot hang since it will try to look for the files. I'm not rooted and don't have a back up.

I did mean boot hang where after the Samsung logo it just turns to black screen and that's it. No bootloops. It happened to me on my sprint s3 trying to modify build.prop. I haven't rooted my tmo s3 yet though so i don't have a way of backing up yet.

Use Root Explorer and enable R/W to edit system files.
/system/media/audio/ui
poweron.ogg
poweroff.ogg
Just rename those two files by adding a .bak to the end of each one. When the system searches for it at boot or shut down it won't find them since you renamed them. You'll now have a quiet boot and shut down.
If you are paranoid about the system just not finding the file then you can always use the attached file here which I created that's basically a very short silence for the system to play. Also has the backups of the original sounds too. Make sure to pay attention to the permissions and set them (long pressing each file and choosing permissions After you put them into their designated system folder) exactly as the included picture in the zip shows you. That's it.

That's exactly what was missing thanks Mike. I don't mind the animation so much the sound is more of what I mind, being very loud in case I forget to turn the phone in mute.
Edit: I just went and changed the extensions to .bak and there are 3 filed total.

Np, just sharing what I've learned from others. You're welcome.

So this all makes sence thanks for the help so far. I'd like to actually replace the bootanimation with a bootanimation.zip that someone made a while back. i renames the two files in system/media, copied the bootanimation.zip into same dir and its not just nothing.

Change boot animation on LG Optimus G

Hi All,
Here's how to change the boot animation for the device. Do at your own risk. I've attached the Cyanogenmod boot animation for starters.
Boot Animation
1. Using your file manager browse to system > media
2. You will see a file called bootanimation.zip and varients. Rename it to bootanimation.bak and add .bak to all the others as well.
3. Browse to your sdcard to the location of your new boot animation
4. Rename your new boot animation to bootanimation.zip if it isn't already
5. Copy the new boot animation to system > media
6. Give the new boot animate all the permissions.
7. Reboot and Enjoy
Cyanogenmod boot animation

Anyone tried it out yet?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app

There's a few apps in the market that have a bunch of boot animation options. They're all sort of consolidated, I wonder if they're safe

Do you have to be rooted or unlocked to attempt?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app

You will have to be rooted, not sure about unlocked. I"m guessing OP didn't actually bother to look at the files though. There are 3 boot animations in the folder. Assuming you are on sprint, you can delete bootanimation_boost.zip. The bootanimation.zip runs before the bootanimation_sprint.zip runs. I don't know if deleting one would cause it to revert to running the other one twice or longer but it probably wouldn't hurt anything to test. The bootanimation.zip is the LG logo animation and the bootanimation_sprint.zip is the sprint logo animation. I would guess that you could customize each of these if you gave them the same name, or maybe if you deleted the sprint one, the other bootanimation.zip would run longer. I don't have time to test it now...

Are the third party boot animation apps safe?

If by safe you mean it won't brick it, then yes they are. They should work too.

Thanks, will attempt after root. Haven't had time to do jack squat yet.

Tried a few of those boot animation switchers. No dice

Just fyi for anyone who tried flash this, it isn't flashable, it just contains all the different dimensions.

Ok so I see the boost file. The sprint file. And the regular one. I changed it to .Bak and pasted the new one. But no dice

This will not work for the sprint att and boost versions i will use sprint for example...
You're mostly right however if you on one of the named providers above you must rename the old boot animation from bootanimation_sprint.zip to
bootanimation_sprint.bak then rename the file bootanimation.zip to bootanimation_sprint.zip i did this to restore the stock lg boot animation that was in there already i don't see why this would not work with other boot animation files

The "boot animations" application from play store works perfectly if you change "install location" in preferences to system/media and the preset file name in preferences to "bootanimation_sprint.zip". You can then just click install on any animation you like.

Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app

Not working for me, for whatever reason. Trying to use my own boot animation, and all I get is a black screen.This is my animation if perhaps you want to test if I've done something wrong. All I did was rename the bootanimation_sprint.zip into .bak and place that file in there instead. It should work, but it isn't.

just loaded yours up and just got a black screen, so i think its the actual animation thats messed up

I cannot get it to work either
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app

Hmm, guess I'll look into why the animation isn't working. Even made it from scratch and then using boot animation factory.

Epic has a guide that works better.
Also, to make it work you need to change the permissions of the new file.

Tried it with his guide and changed the permissions as well. I'm able to get stock JB to load on mine, it's just my boot animation that fails to work for some reason. I recreated it again from scratch and still don't really know what's wrong with it. Using 8bit color, stock compression, everything seems just fine; and yet it isn't. Maybe I'll take this up to the boot animation tutorial thread to see if anyone there can help me.
Edit: Nevermind, it was something extremely trivial that I should have noticed that just slipped by me. The folder name had a space in it, which pretty much made it useless. Fixed by removing the spaces.
