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?

Heres one I did. It's animated but it goes so fast you practically miss it anyway...
Couldn't get a gif preview up.
I got a few more I made but I wanted to share this one. A good universal shutdown sequence.
Also just for reference, it seems the png's can so far be anything under a png 24.
I love the Android Scribble boot animations that GLa'DOS put together here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696193
I decided to create an "un-scribble" shutdown animation which is basically his work in reverse. I had to cut several "frames" to get it down to 26 images but it looks pretty good. It's attached as Scribble_shutdown.zip.

Here is an i, robot shutdown sequence i made. I wish the picture was a little clear but it works.
Can i use the same animation for the Shotdown as for the Startsup?
I mean that both 26 png's
Would be nice to know that
Thank God for custom shutdown animations. Oh if anyone is looking for tutorial on how to do it check: http://www.phonebuff.com/2011/06/change-shutdown-animation-for-android/

The newest ROMs do not use this file format. They are utilizing the *.qmg files - not hackable. If you roll back to Froyo or Eclair you can use this type of shutdown.
I have a problem
Hi guys
In my phone the shutdown animations is in a diferetn location
the location is system/bin/shutdownanimation and i can run this as a script.
I renamed it to .bak and now it doesent show up wich is great but i cant replace another one i've tried as a .gif .qmg i've changed the permisions to be de same as the original animation but the new one never works HELP

boot splash screen was succesfuly changed with genotools
What is the correct file type and how can i replace it?
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 all,
I have a specific question for you all.
I made a Custom Bootanimation for Xperia. I've made one before and it worked (Xperia Circle Animation).
Now, when I copy the file to /system/media and I reboot, the animation starts, the phone starts up (so no soft brick or something like that, the problem is with the bootanimation), but the animation keeps HANGING :/ I did everything correctly (I think). Set root permissions, when zipping set mode to 'store',etc....
It uses the exact same desc.txt as my previous anymation that worked, work method was the exact same way and I just made a different animation.
I'm tired of searching and not finding anything on the XDA fora, so I was hoping someone could help me?
I provided the animation 720p below. I hope someone could help because I'm out of Ideas.
(Download a random working flashable bootanimation, copy it to sd card. If you too have Hanging problem, go to recovery, flash the zip and phone will boot normally.)
Thank you in advance,
Deleunes254
Did anybody find a way to use zip files for boot animations rather than the qmg files?
I have tried replacing the "animation" file (located in /system/bin/) with many different files from different forums but still no luck. I always end up with no boot animation startup.
I even tried with the files (animation and bootanimation.zip) from treble Lineage GSI rom but still no luck (sigh)
If anyone knows a way please share your knowledge.
I believe this requires root so you can make the root directory read/write capable.

You are right this requires root and all the modifications I mentioned above are using root.

I appreciate your answer.
But what I'm looking for is a way to make native android boot animations work and not samsung proprietary ones. (the zip instead of qmg).
I went through posts like the ones you mentioned a hundred times while searching for what I needed.
I think no one has figured it out yet.
I wish I were a dev to knows how stuff works in coding world.

on samsung phones zip is just a flashable package that copies the animations(qmg) to the proper directory and sets permissions
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/themes/bootanimations-best-collection-t3780219
not sure what devices these work on but its just zip file with 3 folders with .jpg in it creating each frame of the animation. theres a text cue file with resolution and fps info.
samsung animation are much more difficult to make( need special software )

The zip file you mentioned is for aosp and lineage roms (or any rom that supports native boot animation).
There used to be something called native boot animation enabler for samsung phones back in lollipop and marshmallow days for samsung stock firmwares. This made it possible to use zips like the ones you mentioned as boot animation instead of qmg. But nowadays I can't find any similar trick. I think samsung changed a lot of stuff making it impossible to enable them in oreo and pie.
Hi guys! I despise Verizon with a passion, and I have been on a mission to remove all things Verizon ever since I got an unskippable ad to install a bunch of Facebook games direct from Verizon. I got an undismissable notification prompting me to "review" the apps I have. It freaked me out and pissed me off.
I have since Frankenstein-ed and Rooted with the WTF method using the incredible guides made by @ChazzMatt. I am now running stock debloated @JohnFawkes VS996 Pie for working VoLTE/VoWiFi. I uninstalled every Verizon app (aside from carrier), and my last step was to replace the boot animation.
Now that you know the specifics of my device, I want to detail the process for replacing the boot animation on the VS996 V30.
THIS CAN CAUSE YOUR BOOT TO FAIL. PROCEED WITH CAUTION.
Requirements:
1) V30 running VS996 firmware (this method may work with VS998 or Carrier variants)
2) TWRP and Root
3) CURRENT SYSTEM PARTITION BACKUP
3) File Manager capable of root access and permission editing. I used Total Commander.
Process:
1) Obtain a boot animation!
You WILL need a boot animation in a specific format.
Link to a post with a huge collection of working boot animations: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/bootanimations-collection.3721978/#post-74901989 Credit to @mauam for this great work!!
I nearly bricked my phone by attempting to use a .gif converted into a .zip, as was suggested on another post. If your boot animation is not in the correct format, the phone will hang on the LG V30 screen.
Now that you have an animation you like, save it. Use the google drive link in the post.
2) Create system backup in TWRP
This is a critical step for recovering if you mess up. Do this every time you try something out of your comfort zone. I had to restore from a backup after deleting one too many System LG apps last night. This is what saved me from a brick before writing this guide.
3) Replace stock animation
We can now navigate to the location of the boot image. In your file manager, navigate to root/system/product/media.
Spoiler: More Details
This is where most boot animation replacer apps fall short! There are two locations where boot animations may be stored on the V30: system/media, and system/product/media. I believe that the LG animations are stored in system/media. Carrier boot animations are stored in system/product/media, at least on VS996/Verizon. If you want to check, try browsing through the existing bootanimation.zip file and opening one of the images. It should be a still from the carrier boot animation. If it is not, try the system/media folder. If you still can't find the carrier boot animation, I don't have enough experience to guide you further.
Having found the location of the boot animation, move your downloaded .zip into this folder. I made an additional copy as a replacement for the LG shutdown animation.
Rename the old boot animations, and simply add .bak on the end of the existing name. This preserves the animation if you mess up or want to revert.
Now, rename your new downloaded animations to the same as the old animations without .bak at the end.
Check that you have been successful by: press and hold > properties > permissions. They should match the old permissions, as well as the permissions detailed in @mauam post. (rw-r--r--)
4) Reboot
That's it! Goodbye Verizon.
If you get hung up on LG V30 screen, or phone will not boot:
Hold down the volume down and power buttons to force the phone to shut down. Ensure that the phone is off! Do the hardware button sequence to force the phone into recovery: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/hardware-button-boot-into-recovery-with-twrp.2534981/
This method worked for me! From here, restore the backup that you made BEFORE starting this guide!
