I always tried to use custom bootanimations on my I9000B running CM10.1, but it never changed, it went straight to that blue android logo.
Yesterday I was exploring the flashable .zip for the ROM and I've found where the bootanimation .zip is stored.
What happens if in the flashable ROM .zip I change the bootanimation to other and flash onmy device? Will the bootanimation change?
Question is answered, it works, changing the bootanimation file in the flashable .zip and then flashing the ROM.
Hi.
Another way is that you peak bootanimation (bootanimation.zip file) from any ROM and file that you want and replace it with root explorer on your ROM and reboot your phone.
It's Work

I'm trying to get custom boot animations working on a stock deodexed ROM. What I've done so far is in /system/bin: deleted "samsungani" and then renamed "bootanimation" to "samsungani". This got rid of the Samsung boot animation in place of the Vanilla Android one and this works fine (although it is rather crap!).
However if I place any custom boot animation at /system/media/bootanimation.zip it works, but it just plays indefinitely and fails to disappear once the Android interface has loaded. I've tried editing the animation settings inside the zip file. I've also tried a boot animation pulled straight out of the Simplicity v2.1 ROM's zip file which doesn't work either, so it is obviously not a problem with the actual bootanimation.zip as that one must be preconfigured to work on an S5830i.
I must need to change something else but I have no idea what? I tried deleting "bootsamsungloop.qmg" "bootsamsung.qmg" from /system/media which done absolutely nothing.
Bump: I think custom ROM developers should know the answer to this or anyone else please?
EDIT: I worked it out. If anyone wants to know, forget about what I said in the first post. It seems that /system/bin/samsungani is modded in ROMs with custom boot animations as there is a difference in file size. So just overwrite your samsungani with the modified version from a ROM's zip file that has a custom boot animation, such as Simplicity v2.1. Then put your bootanimation.zip in /system/media and that's it.
To remove/replace the boot animation sound the file is /system/etc/poweron.ogg, delete it or replace it.
sorry if i say these in wrong terms

I'm trying to flash a custom boot. I updated to the new firmware and installed OMJ's rom, and tried to flash my old boot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357926. That didn't work, so I looked to see if the name of the boot animation zip in CID was different, which it was. It's now m7_spcs_startup_animation.zip. Can I just change the name of my zip package and it will replace this? Or does a whole new zip need to be made to flash to that location.?
Correct, a new flashable will need to be made. Butyou can get the non flashable zip and copy paste after changing the name. You just have to rename it to match exactly to the one that is booting currently, and it should boot the new animation. I always just copy paste/overwrite in root explorer. System/customize/resource. That way you can rename the old one in case. Because flashing erases the current ani

hi guys
been trying to make my own bootanimation
but for some reason, the file i made would no load
i have tried copying it to system/media using root explorer
i have also tried to use app such as Boot Box to apply the .zip with an app
but not luck, when i reboot to test
it just wouldn't run for some reason.....
i have attached something i put together quickly just for testing
i extract the .zip from the Alroger rom which i'm using now on my phone
then replaced the file in part0 just to see if it runs
did not temp with the desc.txt file
and after i loaded the .zip, and reboot
nothing happens
i've noticed if i make a bootanimation using the function from Boot Box, and load it
it will work
also if i download a bootanimation with an app, and install that
it will also work
but as soon as i extract the file out
make changes (either redesign a few of the frames, or try to change the frame/s speed inside desc.txt)
and put back into the zip file, then reload the bootanimation
it won't load again for some reason
i have been searching the forum and online for whole night trying to find a fix
but non of the suggested ways work help with my situation
can someone please help me out?
Hi all.. I tried to change bootanimation in my phone, by moving file to /system/media, in CM12, AICP, BrokenOS, and many other LP ROMs. In all of them it never worked. I was successfully able to change bootlogo.. but never boot animation.
Any help??
Did you change permissions to rw-r--r--/chmod 644?
Did you rename file to "bootanimation.zip"?
