Hi,
I'm using deodexed rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948790 , and speedmod for JVO from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1044519
In description to speedmod author says that the kernel supports custom boot animations, but rom support is required to make it work.
I'm not sure what the "rom requirement" means. Does anyone know?
Can I just upload bootanimation.zip to /system/media?
At the moment it doesn't work - when I do so, then the boot animation is actually changed, but not to my uploaded animation, but to "fail safe" animation, which is simple "android" text shining.
Do I do something wrong, or do I need some special support from rom (except for my kernel which supports it)?

This is my first ROM and I love it, but I wanted to know if you can add a Poweron.wav and a shutdown.ogg file like the stock was?
I believe the files are there, but you need to enable the boot sounds in CWM through Recovery mode.
As long as there isnt a custom boot animation then it should work but if there is then it wont work as the custom boot animation breaks the boot up sounds. You could remove the custom boot animation and that will fix the sound
I haven't tried it this way, but you could also install the 'SGS Tools' app. I'm sure there was an option there somewhere.
I am wondering if i can flash a custom kernel over my stock 2.2 Rom? So that i can change the boot animation splash screen along with maybe overclock/undervolt. But mostly i want the bootanimation.zip splash screen. Any way i can do this?

You can do that using Odin (not the one click).
I suggest you go check AdamOutler's video on how to flash a kernel from stock 2.2. It is well explained and will work on every kernel that has cwm recovery in them (speedmod, ursa minor, onix.. etc).
I have a rooted i9000 and flash the gto kernel.
Then it add a 2nd boot screen to my phone.
Baseband version : I9000XXJVT
Kernel version : 2.6.35.7 [email protected]#BETA4.2_4
There are the video of my boot screen

How can I remove or replace it?
(I find some code in other post : fastboot erase splash2
But I don't know I can use it in which mode or status.)
The second boot screen that appears when you boot your phone is the ROM's boot screen, which is changable (depending on your ROM). The first one shown is your kernel's boot screen.
What ROM are you using?

sorry for missing information

when I use JVT ROM don't have any problem , still one boot screen.
after flash gto kernel , the second boot screen appears
I don't believe you can change the kernel's bootscreen without recompiling it.
for replace change kernel...if u want a personal image contact your kernel developer
i changed my boot animation by using an app called bootanimation utility
first had to put the new boot animation in my internal sd card

That won't work. We are talking about the kernel bootanimation.
ooo ok
my bad
just trying to help
hi everybody,
I have SGS Baseband Version I9000XXJVT 2.3.5 - Kernel Version 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVT-CL617736 [email protected] #2. I root my sgs with CF-Root 4.3.
I am trying change boot animation on my phone. But boot animation appears on phone boot and it isnt close itself. Phone is open, but i dont see my home. I dont use anything, only bootanimation appear. For example, i call myself at another phone, my phone is ring but, i dont see anything on screen because bootanimation still loop.
i try on ADB, on SdCard with filemanager. i use /data/local folder, /system/media folder but i dont solve my problem.
I want to use JVT, because too stable for me . please help me. Sorry for my bad English.
i solved my problem guys. My kernel is stock kernel. I dont know this, now i update my kernel with semaphore JVT_1.9.1.bm and now custom bootanimation work fine.

I do not know if cf-root supports custom bootanimation (it should i guess) but anyway i suggest you to use odin and flash a kernel which supports custom bootanimation (i suggest semaphore kernel). I guess that will work!
Plus you will gain more things in comparison to cf-root such as voodoo,bln,speed,oc and more!
Another solution would be to delete the bootanimation (a have a cwm zip for that, guess you can find one too). But flashing a new kernel would be better!
EDIT: glad you solved it!
If you want a lot of nice bootanimations, I would recommend 'Rom Toolbox' by jrummy.
You can just download it on the market
loads of bootanimations...

Hi,
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Sa...te_Guide#Installing_the_ClockworkMod_Recovery mentions a "hardcore's kernel". What kind of kernel is that? Is it the actual system kernel used by the ROM one is installing afterwards or is it just some sort of boot kernel for the recovery application?
It also mentions hardcore's even though the kernel logo during booting refers to Semaphore.
No one?

It is not the Stock kernel, it is a customized kernel which can be used for the custom ROM installation via ClockworkMod_Recovery.
thanks.
Thanks forupeople but that was not exactly the question. I would like to know whether the mentioned kernel is the actual kernel on which a ROM then is running on or whether all ROMs come with their own kernel and this is something else.
Really no one?

All ROM's have kernels included in their package, without it your phone wont be able to boot..In this case Hardcore ( its actually a speedmod kernel, maybe tweaked by Hardcore) is being used to give you CWM recovery on Stock ROM's which do not have CWM recovery but only 2e recovery., after you flash CM, its removed and the new kernel from your update, is used
Instead of Odin, CWM recovery is used for ICS and JB installation

Thanks. I have to admit I am not really very familiar with the boot process, however I was under the assumption that CWM is just a replacement for the stock's basic boot/recover loader and both do not need an actual Android kernel as they both come before it in the boot order.

To make it simple.
Boot loaders are generally locked, hence needs to be rooted (unlocked), in oder to add CWM to it.
Custom kernels or kernels that are customized, do this function of rooting (unlocking the boot loader) as well as adding the CWM (customized recovery features) to the boot loader.
Only customized kernels will work with custom ROMS.
Hence when you flash a custom kernel on top of a stock ROM/with stock kernel, it is replaced and gives the added features (that stock kernel lacks) that is needed for flashing Custom ROMS
The reason being Gingerbread stock kernels will not work for ICS ROMs..hence must be replaced and this is vital for phones operations, since one main function of kernel is to control the hardware.
