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,

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.

Is there any way to put the stock captivate boot screen animations and sound back on the Captivate after installing cognition? I'm not too big of a fan of the cognition boot screen.

I have the stock bootanimation.zip. I'll upload the file when I get off work. Just drop it into system/media/ named as bootanimation.zip. As far as the boot sound goes, nobody to my knowledge has had any luck with that. Everything I have tried to restore custom/stock bootsounds has failed.
Thank you very much!

Minor difficulties. The bootanimation.zip file I have for the true stock animation is corrupted and I'm not having any luck fixing it.
I've attached two alternatives though. The first file is the SGS bootanimation that has been optimized for a smaller screen. It works fine, but it is smaller than it would normally be.
The other is a modded version with a BIOS boot intro followed by the SGS boot animation (full sized). In my opinion, its pretty freakin sweet. Credit to specialex and LitePro. This one is their work, not mine.
Either way, download, rename to bootanimation.zip and drop it into system/media folder using root explorer or a comparible file manager app.
Thanks man. The BIOS style one looks sick. It seems that you can restore a bootsound through SGSTools, but when I set a random .ogg notification sound as the shut down sound, it played it in a never ending loop. I'll try and tinker with it some.

Yea, I had no luck working with SGS Tools and the boot/shutdown sound changer. It works great on stock 2.1 w/ root (I tested it the last time I flashed back to stock- rocking the "droid" voice on boot for a while).
Unfortunately, it never worked for me on custom roms. Even tried .mp3 and .oog files instead of .wav just for the hell of it. I think the issue has to do with the playlogos1 file that the devs modify to kill the default shutdown/startup sounds. I'm going to try SGST again though... its been a while and that app has been updated 4 or 5 times since I last tried.
Well, I found the shutdown.ogg file from the JH7 OTA .zip file and yes, it did work through SGSTools! If I find the original boot animation in one of these folders it'll be back to stock appearence Now whether or not I want to do that is the question hehehe....
EDIT: Turns out only the shutdown sound was working. Im doing a Rom Manager backup now, but my plan is too remove the bootanimation.zip file and restore the factory playlogos and playlogos1 files back to system/bin and see what happens.
EDIT 2: Well that didn't work... I found two other files called bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg and seeing if those work.
EDIT 3: No luck there either. I wonder if it is possible at all to restore the boot animation and sound, and what the developers did to remove it. Its very interesting...
Here's a copy of the stock bootanimation.zip. Credit to whoever I got this from. Personally I like the BIOS one
I've done a few searchs to try and figure this out on my own, but I've been coming up short. I'm just trying to get a custom boot animation on my Sprint Tab. I'm comfortable removing the stock animation and audio. I can't, however, find anyway to add my own. I've tried renaming the custom animation to bootani.qmg with the stock one deleted out. When I boot up, though, it shows nothing still and boots up with no animation. Not asking for someone to reply with a written out guide, but a point in the right direction would be awesome.
Thanks!
Get your new bootanim (usually called bootanimation.zip butbif bit not, then rename it to that) then move it to system/media. Reboot and you should have been new boot anim

That's the issue. Thought that's all I needed to do, but after trying that exact method repeatedly with different animations and bootanimation.zip files, it does not work for me.
I've tried renaming the file bootani.qmg, bootanimation.qmg, bootani.zip, and bootanimation.zip.
The .qmg is the sound file so you don't need that. What video format is your animation? It isn't just the name that has to be correct, its the format and file size too.
I would suggest using the DukeNukem boot file, since we know it works, to verify the process, then go make a custom file. And be sure to post back with your results!
That would make more sense. I just sorta assumed maybe it was searching for a file name and not finding it. Will try once more with the suggested boot animation and let ya know!
DukeNukem was also a no go. :/
I don't have a sprint tab, but the system folders and files sound the same as my at&t tab. What I did was create a folder and moved the boot animation.zip, and the .qmg files in there, then moved the duke animation into the system/media folder.
Alright so I'm new to all this stuff and decided that changing the boot animation (after reading multiple threads) would be any easy enough beginner mod. So I downloaded the animation zip that I wanted, copied it on to my sdcard, used root explorer to delete and replace the factory bootanimation.zip with the one i had downloaded. However it didn't work. So I thought maybe I should try a different file but still no go. No matter which one I try I still get the same animation. It just says "android" in a silverish color while booting. Any help is much appreciated. And maybe keep the noob bashing to a minimum?
Did you put the bootanimation.zip in the /system/media folder? Did you verify the permissions? Maybe try clearing cache in recovery? I think the animation you see is if there is no valid boot animation file.
hi there, i have used a lot of custom bootanimations with my OP3T, so i taught that i could try to make one.
I came up with a stupid but funny (imo ) one, with the audio and everything, so i put everything in /system/media, but when i rebooted the phone there was only a blank black screen till the phone booted up.
Help me please, i dont know what to do
i attached the file (obviously i named it bootanimation.zip when i tried to use it )
anyone!
