Basically I want to get rid of the AT&T logo from the boot screen because I'm unlocked and on another carrier.
I've been trying to work out how to do this but to no avail. Apparently I need to hard root by doing this:
(from androidcommander.com)
Edit your boot image.
Pull out your boot.img.
Unpack.
Edit default.prop file, set value „ro.debuggable” to „1″.
Re-Pack.
Flash.
Can anyone tell me how to actually do this or if it's even possible on the Captivate Glide?
The AT&T logo at boot isn't part of the boot.img, that's the boot animation. Samsung uses their own format for the bootanim, so you can't just replace it with one of the thousands out there, but you should be able to replace it with the bootanim from another samsung phone. I'll see if I can dig up the link where someone replaced it with the anim from an SGIII.

I know the boot.img doesn't contain the animation. But according to a guide that I read I have to edit the boot.img file in order to hard root the phone so that I can then delete the bootsamsung.qmg file which contains the AT&T animation so I can just have a blank screen at the startup.
I've never heard that called "hard root" before but it's baked into the keyboard light fix which you probably have installed anyway.

Well, according to someone else, none of that is necessary, you can just replace the .qmg files and be set.

I changed the bootanimation, now using the ICS stock from Galaxy SII. Just had to copy two .qmg files over the old ones, set the permissions, wiped cache and dalvik. Did this because while we don´t have custom kernel will not be possible to use .zip bootanimation and i couldn´t find a way to edit .qmg file.

Rename old ones
Copy new,
Change permissions,
Reboot cwm,
Wipe cache and dalvik,
Boot twice
(that´s how worked for me).

Android Commander won't let me rename the bootsamsung.qmg file though so I don't see how I could replace it.
Did you make sure you mounted /system as rw? I was able to rename the files and copy over the new ones just fine through a terminal window.
(edit)
To clarify, I put the two .qmg files in /sdcard, and then did the following from a terminal (or adb shell):
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-num/p2 /system
mv /system/media/bootsamsung.qmg /system/media/bootsamsung.qmg.bak
mv /system/media/bootsamsungloop.qmg /system/media/bootsamsungloop.qmg.bak
cp /sdcard/bootsamsung.qmg /system/media/bootsamsung.qmg
cp /sdcard/bootsamsungloop.qmg /system/media/bootsamsungloop.qmg
chmod 644 /system/media/bootsamsung.qmg
chmod 644 /system/media/bootsamsungloop.qmg
I didn't need to wipe cache or dalvik, and it worked perfectly on first reboot - I now have the Galaxy SII boot logo. I'm now off to poke around and see if I can find anything I like better.
Let me know if you find anything you like better. I'm thinking if I'm going to replace the AT&T logo I just want something generic, not the name of another phone model.
Yeah, I'm not big on having it say Galaxy SII at the bottom. Ideally I'd like the plain ICS animation, but I doubt any samsung phone came with that. Next up is anything that's just generic Samsung, and if that fails, I'm looking for something that just says Galaxy S, since the phone was sold as the Galaxy S Glide in Canada.
If there's a way to convert a normal bootanimation.zip into a bootsamsung.qmg that'd be ideal, but I don't think it can be done. Or if we could make the Glide accept a bootanimation.zip that'd be perfect.
There's no tool for converting that I know of, unfortunately. As for bootanimation.zip, once the ICS kernel sources get released that'll be possible. The current kernel doesn't have support for bootanimation.zip, but a few of the custom ones from GB added it, and it shouldn't be difficult to add to an ICS kernel.
(edit)
Unfortunately, it appears the Galaxy S III animations won't work. I assume the higher resolution is the problem, as I get just a black screen on boot. That's pretty disappointing, as this would've looked just fine. Anyone know another Samsung device that doesn't list it's model in the boot animation?
I haven't tried it yet on the SGH-I927, but a trick that we used on the Gio to change the boot animation was to overwrite/rename the /system/bin/samsungani file with /system/bin/bootanimation binary (which is also present on the stock ROM) which will either show the "stock" green Android text, or an appropriately formatted bootanimation.zip if present.
I'll get back to you guys later once I've had time to try it out.
There might also be a (non-animated) logo in boot.img, I haven't unpacked one yet to check it out.
---------- Post added at 11:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 PM ----------
Quick update:
There is a logo in the boot.img (or somewhere else in the bootloader.)
The samsungani/bootanimation switcheroo has a bug: it doesn't stop. I opened the slider, and I can see the animation running in a loop on the left half of the screen. Had to issue a kill command via ADB to stop it.
If you want to stick to a stock kernel and unbrand the boot animations: copy /system/media/bootsamsungloop.qmg in place of bootsamsung.qmg, and then rename /system/media/video/shutdown/shutdown.qmg to something else.
Aha, I've located some decent model-free .qmg's, from the Samsung Galaxy Ace 2. You can see the animation here on a Galaxy Ace Plus. File's were pulled from Cosmo123's post here.
I've pulled the files from his dump, and attached them here. I've also included a mediafire mirror.
Wow, that animation looks great. So I just follow the terminal instructions with those files from the Ace? Do I need to worry about getting rid of/replacing the PowerOn.wav?
I followed your instructions up to "cp /sdcard/bootsamsung.qmg /system/media/bootsamsung.qmg" in Terminal Emulator, but when I clicked enter on that line it came up saying "sh: cp: not found". So I don't know why it's saying that if that means the qmg file isn't found because I put both the new qmg files onto the internal SD card. Any thoughts?
Well I managed to rename the qmg files and the PowerOn files on the phone so now I just have the static Samsung logo on startup. So actually I've fairly happy with just that. So if you don't know how to fix the terminal problem I was having it's OK. It'd just be handy to know what the problem was in case I need to copy anything onto the root in future.

Ah, you don't have busybox installed. By default, our rom doesn't have several typical commands set up, it's the only device I've owned that didn't have cp out of the box. Go snag busybox and you'll be able to copy those files over.

Worked like a charm, on first reboot, like you, I didn't need to wipe anything. Just remember people, install Busybox before following this steps.

If you'd like to keep the original boot animation but want the Nexus boot animation as default, use these commands:
Code:
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
adb reboot
If you'd like to replace the current boot animation, use the commands below:
Code:
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
adb reboot
Sorry, if this is repeated.
I take NO credit for this. This is all what I've found and learned from the forum. I thought I should share it with you guys. Enjoy!
Thank you for this. I had been wanting the N1 boot animation since moving to the G2 and here it is I installed it, and it worked fine. However, I did so in recovery via adb (had to do adb shell mount /data first though).
Probably will be doing it again once I have CM 6.1.0 installed.

You could try using boot animation changer lite from the market. Pretty easy to use and it backs up the stock animation if you want to revert.

Okay, I'm still trying to figure out how these worked. I took that boot animation by modifiying it (removing some of the pictures), renaming in order, and made sure the desc.txt was in the right format, then I write it back to /system/media. What am I missing here on how this works?
I've pushed the boot animation to these 3:
/data/local/bootanimation.zip
/system/media/bootanimation.zip
/system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
I've attached the file I'm trying to write if you can see anything wrong it it. Thanks!

Nevermind about this. I finally found out how to fix it. I mounted the /system file in terminal emulator, then manually copied and pasted the bootanimation into those 3 places from my sd card. But do you know where I can find the boot sound?
Got it. It's all in the /system/customize/resource folder. The audio is "android_audio.mp3"

Last question, and I can put this to rest, so hopefully someone can answer it. What is the deal with the desc.txt file? I tried editing using both notepad (which I heard corrupts it) and wordpad, but it screws everything up. Here is the current settings:
512 256 30
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
And I'm trying to get it to be only 20 fps as so:
512 256 20
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
Is there a reason it won't work when I do that?

Well, since nobody seems to help, I kept looking and looking and hopefully I can help someone who is just as confused.
It was not the editing of the desc.txt file that caused the problem. It is when you zip the files, do not zip it with any compression. Simply zip it as a "store" option, and you should be fine if everything else is all set.
Thanks i love the boot animation!
i have searched but cant find the ideal guide on how to change the boot animation AND mp3 sound. i see it all on youtube but its confusing the way they do it.
someone point me in the right direction?? thanks in advanced.
also do i need to have NAND unlocked??
I would purchase Root Explorer for $1 and do it through that app.
You basically need to find the thread located on this website with a collection of boot animations. Download the zip that's included and flash through recovery. If you wish to change the .mp3 sound for let's say the Dancing Droid boot animation you would want to go through Root Explorer and overwrite/place mp3 file in the correct formatted name.
Here's the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=708173
Cool thanks but root explorer is like $5 where do you get it for $1?
-On That Black Ops Status-
Oops my bad. I probably too it for another app. Try downloading ES File Explorer since it's free. I buy so many apps that I forget the price sometimes.
so it there any exact walkthrough?
im just not used to all the "experienced people should know what this means"
stuff..
like when u say recovery u mean hboot??
Recovery is when you power off your phone, hold volume down and boot on your phone while holding it down. You can then flash .zip from recovery by choosing "choose zip from sdcard" and finding the boot animation, confirming (as in yes) and installing.
if i mess up can i reflash my nand??
i already backed everything up..
Yes you can do a Nand restore.
cool thank you

Swyped From Eva Running Myn's RLS4.95 On The Now Network!
The boot animation is in /system/media put the file in there & replace the existing one. It must be named the exact same & be a .zip I suggest booting into recovery & wiping cache & dalvik after replacing it
Will try that hope it works

Pushboot is the easiest way
Oh boy. Have you guys actually made a rom or flashed a boot animation? I don't think so. Here's a step-by-step tutorial.
1. NANDROID NANDROID NANDROID <--- Always do this when modifying your rom unless you like starting over.
2. Find the bootanimation that you want. Some come with the sound and some don't. I prefer ones without sound.
3. Get the Android USB drivers and ADB from the Android SDK if you haven't already and make sure the drivers are installed for your phone. If I have to explain that, then you shouldn't use technology.
4. Now, I would just do this the easy way and open up the zip file that the bootanimation comes in. If the bootanimation is named bootanimation.zip, then there's nothing to extract as that's the file we need. The sound file will be called SPC_animation_final.mp3. That's what the file names for the animation and sound must be.
5. Now, make sure that bootanimation.zip and SPC_animation_final.mp3 are in the same folder as ADB and open a command prompt. Make sure you Chdir to the same directory that ADB is and then type: adb remount
6. If you're rooted, you should see "remount succeeded" and you'll have read/write on your phone. If you don't see that message, you have to remount another way. The other way is to type: adb shell. Then, type: cat /proc/mounts. Look for the line that has an mtdblock in it and /system. You'll need that mtdblock number. The command I use is: mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system. Yours may be different if your partition setup is different. Yours could be 3, 5, 6, etc. If you aren't rooted, then leave this thread and go do that.
7. If you are still in adb shell, type exit to go back to the normal CMD. Otherwise, just go to step #8.
8. Next, type: adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource. It should copy it over without error.
9. Then, type adb push SPC_animation_final.mp3 /system/customize/resource. Again, it should copy without error.
10. Now, to test to make sure this worked, you can type adb shell bootanimation. Watch your phone and if you see your bootanimation, then it worked. If you don't, then it didn't copy right. Not sure if this test will play the animation sound as I don't use one.
11. If you really want to make sure it worked, type adb shell reboot and that will reboot your phone.
12. ???
13. Profit!
so everything is done through adb command..
-_- thats too difficult for me.. cuz if overtime i wanna change it again..
its a hassle..

Im running CM 6.1.1-Stable with pershoots kernel (rooted via gfree method) and I am trying to use the Droid X boot animation on my phone. However, I keep getting the default android bootanimation with silver text with the word "android" and some intermittent shining of the text.
I downloaded the bootanimation from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=710204
I copied both the audio and the bootanimation.zip files to /system/media according to these instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9118652&postcount=12
It erases the cyanogenmod boot animation, but instead i get the default silver android text bootanimation. I tried deleting the system/media/bootanimation.zip file and placing the new bootanimation.zip and audio in /data/local but this resulted in the same default bootanimation.
Am I missing something here? Most people seem to be able to easily change their bootanimation by pushing the file to /data/local, but for me, the cyanogenmod bootanimation in /system/media seems to take priority. Either way, pushing the bootanimation to either /system/media or /data/local is not working. Any ideas?
Also, do I need to do anything special to get the droid sound to work besides pushing it along with the bootanimation.zip file?
Anyone? Id really appreciate any insight that can be offered!

it's because the first link is for changing the boot animation
the second link is for changing the splash image
you need to find the directions for overwriting the bootanimation, not the splash image.
fwiw, i was looking for the instructions when i found this thread
here's the instructions you're looking for
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10230516&postcount=26
Are you doing an ADB Remount? Try this:
Code:
adb devices
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
If it doesn't work for the /data/local then do the following:
Code:
adb devices
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
NOTE: I put it in the code box because essentially that's what it is. Make sure when you do the ADB Push you put the full file path where the bootanimation.zip is located
Reboot the phone to see if it takes the change. Either that, or you can always try an ADB Shell > bootanimation. This will show the boot animation, and then just CTRL + C to stop it. But if the ADB shell doesn't show it, definitely try a reboot and let us know.
Good luck
Still the same

I have exactly the same problem with my desire S. Nothing seems to be working apart from the regular android animation (not even the original rom animation which i re copied). Was this ever solved?
I have been banging my head against the wall for days now regarding this problem and can't quite figure it out. I created my own boot animation and was able to get that running just fine. I wanted to add a boot sound as well, so I did my homework and followed the instructions to a T. I resolved an error that I was getting while running the command sh bootsnd.sh, but even after it ran successfully I still was left with no boot sound. In the /system/media folder I have an mp3 named android_audio.mp3. I also verified that the build.prop file in the system folder had the line ro.config.play.bootsound=1 in it as well. I am currently running CM9 RC2 on my T-Mobile G2. Is there something I am missing? Can the G2 even play boot sounds? Has anyone gotten boot sounds to run on their G2? If so, how? Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated and thank you all in advance for any help you may be able to provide.

Are you calling it in desc.txt inside the bootanimation? I'm sure that's a part of it.

I don't know if this makes a difference at all, but in the rom I use (EliteMod ICS, modified CM9 kernel, AOKP rom), seems you need to only place an boot_audio.mp3 file into /system/media/ , much like how you place boot animation.zip in /system/media, and chmod 644

I did some additional research and did find a few references to adding the audio to the desc.txt file by adding a line like this 's android_audio.mp3' to it. I tried doing this and it borked the entire thing. On the reboot I saw the HTC logo, then was met by a black screen with no sound for a few moments before my home screen appeared.

Which means i would have to do whatever samsung did and convert the bootanimation.zip with all its images into a bootsamsung.qmg file and replace the thing directly. I also ready and downloaded the samsung theme designer http://innovator.samsungmobile.com/cms/cnts/knowledge.detail.view.do?platformId=13&cntsId=11264, which was said to edit these specific files, but so far no luck.
This is no fun talking to myself, common you guys with experience pipe up and steer me here. But as i was experiencing, just the samsung theming software isn't enough, apparently from what i've read it would cost big bucks to get what you need to create a full on .qmg bootanimation file. So a lot of guys have turned to pulling stuff from full on roms which have just enabled the ios to go off of a bootanimation.zip instead of samsungs stuff. I completely forgot to mention, i'm running rooted stock ics, and don't want to flash any new roms seeing as jelly bean official is on the horizon. So i guess what i'm wondering now is what do you devs do to enable the OS to boot from a .zip???
Your current ROM and Kernel must be able to support bootanimation.zip files. Otherwise, you'll have to create/convert it to sanim.zip
assuming i want to stay on the stock rom, do you know of a writeup or something specific on this sanim.zip, i;m coming up short on my google searches
I'm not giving up on this, i really want that COD boot screen.
Dude I'm sorry I was looking for your post. I'm working on it as soon as I get off work today. I'll get back to you with the solution. (Hopefully soon)

Assuming you have root, do this :
adb shell
$ su
# mv /system/bin/samsungani /system/bin/samsungani.bk
# mv /system/bin/bootanimation /system/bin/samsungani
# chmod 0755 /system/bin/samsungani
# exit
$ exit
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/sanim.zip
(not sure which animation the binary looks for, so pushed twice)
That should do it.
Hey thanks so much i'll give it a try. I'm using the sonic rom but not much seems to have changed. How do i access the abd shell and this command window?
