Created a new boot animation today while playing around and thought I would share. It is the reverse of the default shutdown animation. Just put it in /system/media with root.root ownership and rw-r--r-- permissions. If your ROM supports custom boot animations, it should show up nicely when you boot.
Ok, silly question / problem. I've been tinkering with my phone trying to get the startup sound changed and its REALLY kicking my hind quarters. I've got a replacement PowerOn.wav and PowerOn.snd (properly mod'd) with 16-bit / 44100hz settings (same as the default file) but no joy. I've tried a couple different files in this format with no luck. I've even tried it on different roms (cognition, perception, dilligaf, darky, and paragon) all with no luck. I'm doing something wrong and I have no idea what it is.
Can someone break it down for me barney-style exactly what the requirements are for a startup sound?
Help?
I don't know if there are specific requirements, but I have had success with using SGS Tools to replace my startup sound. All I did was put my sound file on my phone (in wav format) in sdcard/sgstools/. I went into SGS Tools and chose modify boot sound, navigated to my file, and it worked. You can do the same with the shutdown sound.

if you're using a kernel that supports custom boot animations (bootanimation.zip) then you cannot change it (in fact, there is no boot sound).
if you are using a stock kernel that supports samsung's boot animation (bootsamsung.qmg) then you can change it with any .wav using SGS tools.
the custom boot animation is the key then. been bashing my head against a brick wall for a week now. thanks for clearing it up for me. so now my question becomes, what do i need to do to change the script to run the boot sound? what enables a custom boot animation? i remember something about playlogos1 or something.
playlogos1 is samsung's binary for showing their "bootsamsung.qmg" files, all the custom kernels that support "bootanimation.zip" have a change in initramfs to support the AOSP boot animation support that removes "playlogos1"... you'd have to either modify the initramfs and compile a new kernel OR use one of samsung's kernels to restore the playlogos1 binary to it's old functionality.
as for getting a boot sound to play with the bootanimation.zip, as of right now, I do not know of any way to do this. I tried recreating the boot sound script from various verizon phones that do that loud "DROID" sound, but it refused to even run from the command line (stagefright seems to be finnicky on our phones) let alone during boot because I didn't create a service for the boot sound. <--- someone would have to do this and create a kernel and working binary/script
That's the explenation I've been looking for, I knew when the boot sounds quit working just not why. Thanks.
On the other side, shutdown sounds and custom shutdown animations work.
well... you can put a script in /system/etc/init.d/S01bootsound and have it do this
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
/system/bin/playlogos1 &
sleep 10
killall playlogos1
if you've removed the samsung boot qmg files then this will only play the sound file. problem is its delayed by 10 seconds into the boot process and i'm having a devil of a time making a boot animation sync up to that particular time. still trying to figure out how to insert the file earlier into the boot process.
Hi, I would like some help with changing first boot logo that I understand is in the kernel, also I would like to know how do you change the animation when you reboot or shut down your phone, if some other phones have similar, same instructions I would like to know which phones or just pointing me the right direction would be much appriciated. Because I have seen quite few threads around the net about similar things, but they are not for XZ.
If this helps - im running
C6603 with Unlocked bootloader
Boot Splash Logo Is in the kernel! (That big Sony Logo appear on first screen) for modify you need linux as you need to modify ramdisk and you need to create a raw file for your device, for boot animation (which will apear second and is that flying colorful) is in the /system/media/bootanimation.zip as Jpeg sequence it can be easily modify and you can put it back afterward just don't forget to look at the text file in it and also don't forget to rw-r--r-- permission after you put modified bootanimation back. (there's bunch of tools and tutorials about this one) good luck

I know about, the second boot animation, but I need a full tut about the 1st boot logo, and linux is not a problem, but what about restarting and shutting down animation?
So i created my own custom boot animation sized 480x800 with boot animation creator. I tried testing with boot animation creator. It perfectly works. But when i put it on System/media and reboot it. It just goes black but with sounds. can someone fix it? I really need your cooperation. Thanks!

I dont know if you have fixed it or not but i have built a couple of boot animation for the galaxy s. I used movies instead an u created them manually so i dont know how to use the animation creater. However, you could upload the desc.txt from your zip file so i can have a look
Are u using a video or a set of pngs
Im trying to change my boot animation manually by accessing /system/media and replace the original zip file. I already renamed the new and old file with bootanimation.zip and bootanimation.zip.bak, respectively. And lastly, change the permission of the new zip file with rw-r--r-- but for some reason, it wont work. My phone wont recognized the new boot animation and would just skip it entirely. Does anyone know the problem and how to fix it? The original boot animation does work if i revert back the original.
Currently running pixel experience 8.1
Update: it seems that custom boot animation only works with pixel style boot animation. i tested dark theme pixel boot animation and it works but other than that, no other custom boot animation works.
