This flashable zip file is intended for those who have maybe changed their boot animation, but still have the stock boot up sound playing in the background. It might also be for those who have flashed an animation that came with sound or those who just plain don't like the boot sound and don't want it to play anymore too. Yes it's true that the boot sound can be removed manually, but for those who don't know how or even those who do, why not just flash a quick file to remedy the problem?
This should work on most Android devices, everything from AOSP to Samsung, etc. You must be rooted though to be able to delete system files obviously. Other than that...
Here Are The Only Steps You Need To Follow For Removing Your Boot Animation Sound:
1) Just download the "bogartysoundremover.zip" file and copy it to the root of your sdcard.
2) Reboot into TWRP or whatever custom recovery you have.
(There are also apps in the Play Store like "Rashr" that flash zips if you don't have a custom recovery.)
3) Select "Install", navigate to the zip file and install it.
That's it. Easy! You should now be boot sound free.
NOTE: There is no risk in flashing this file btw. If it doesn't work on your device, then it just simply does nothing. Be sure to leave a comment with your make, model, android version, etc. though if that's the case and I'll add an exception for your device in the script that makes sure it does.
Also, if this file helped you then please be sure to hit the "THANKS" button.
Additionally, PLEASE DO NOT MIRROR THIS FILE! If you want to share it with people, then simply link them to this thread. Thank you!

Hey guys,
Been doing lots of reading online and haven't been able to figure out how to change my boot image/animations.
I'm running a Canadian captivate I896 and I have flashed it with the Odin 1-click gingerbread flash tool found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127249
I also rooted it with the stuff in that thread.
I would like to be able to just drop a bootanimation.zip into a system folder but it appears that I have the .qmg files in the System/Media folder. Everything in there also appears with a shield on the icon and I can't rename, delete or put any other files in that folder.
I am using Root Explorer and I have it in R/W mode.
What do I have to do? Is there another thread I should read? I have done lots of searches but can't find anything.
Thanks
Depending on the version of Android you're running, the filename of the animation is different. For Froyo(2.2), bootanimation.zip. For Gingerbread(and Ice Cream Sandwich, presumably, 2.3/2.4), sanim.zip. /system/media is usually where you would put the file, but some kernels read it from /data/local.
The qmg files are the original Samsung boot animation. You can usually leave them there.
If Root Explorer won't let you write, even after hitting the R/O-R/W button a few times, it sounds like the rooting didn't work.

Thank you very much for the reply.
I just flashed to the Illuminance 3.0 rom with the Samurai 1.4.2 Kernel.
Root Checker says I have root access.
Still can't write anything to the system/media folder.
Good to know that I need to rename the .zip file though.
Any further info you could offer on the read/write issue or where the .zip needs to go would be greatly appreciated.
Ha! Threw the .zip in the data/local file and the animation works great THanks. Now I just need to figure out how to get rid of the stupid AT&T image.

The first image you see is from the bootloader. The AT&T bootloader can be hacked to replace the image. Alternatively, installing bootloaders from the i9000 will replace this with the stock Galaxy S image. Check out the Android Development section for bootloader info.
When I try to move the .zip file I get the error "Java.io.FileNotFoundException" why?
If your device is rooted, you can run the app called "root tools" and change your boot animation, it comes with a few good animations. the only thing is you have to pay for it. google root tools.apk and you'll be able to find it

There is a much better, simpler, and safer way to change your boot animations.
1. Make a copy of the zip file that your rom installer came with.
2. Using a program like 7zip, open the zip file and clean out all directories except everything in META-INF, and /system/media.
3. Go into the /system/media folder and remove everything except bootanimation.zip and sanim.zip.
4. Copy over the bootanimation.zip and sanim.zip (if they're both there - if not, just copy over the one that's there) with your own versions of these files. MAKE SURE THAT THE FILE YOU PUT IN WAS ZIPPED WITH NO COMPRESSION. (You can specify compression in 7zip - it will be the "store" option).
5. Close the zipped file.
6. Save the zipped file (with whatever name you want) to your internal SD card.
7. Reboot into CWM recovery and flash.
This will replace your boot animations with your modded ones. If something goes haywire, worst case scenario will be you don't see a boot animation before the rom boots. If that happens, just use the same steps above, but don't replace the boot animations. Flash that "revert" version.

also rename the bootanimation to what yours is named either ATT_bootanimation.zip or bootanimation.zip
Here is how I did it.
1. Download the .zip to your desktop and rename this file to the file that your device uses. (I use ATT, so I navigated to system, customize, resource, and that's where I saw my boot animation and it was, ATT_bootanimation.zip
2. Mount the disk so you can open the external sd drive on your computer
3. Moved the .zip file from the desktop to the external sd drive
4. I use Rom Toolbox, but use a root explorer and copy the bootanimation zip file from your external sd card, to your devices bootanimation file, It will ask if you want to overwrite or keep both files, but you MUST overwrite. Reboot phone and it should work. If that doesn't then try and install it from your recovery and you might have to delete the cache, but try that.
I do recommend backing up the phone and the current rom though...Just incase
Is there a specific place to go where i can download different boot animations for the vivid as well as preview them before downloading?
There are boot animation threads...
Trial and error as far as what works...
Our screen is 960x540
Anything smaller COULD work

You can always try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678540&highlight=sense
You have to download them first but it lets you see what it will look like.
Don't overwrite your ATT_bootanimation.zip file just rename it ATT_bootanimation.bak (or just bootanimation.bak if your original bootanimation file is named just bootanimation). This way if you can't get it to work then you can delete the file that dosen't work and go back to your original file by putting the .zip back.
Try install boot animation factory
HTC VIVID 4.0.4 SENSE 4.1
I'd love to try Annimation Factory but it requires Win SP3. I only have/use the laptop my company gives me and they control what SP are installed with an iron fist and we are only on SP1. I really need to build a new box. I"m still working on doing it the old fashion way as discribed in the OP's document.
EDIT - FYI - I installed Annimation Factory and it works just fine on SP1. One thing that I have noticed every time I open it it prompts me there is a new version even when turning off the check for updates in settings. When I try to download the new version it gives a downloader error. I don't think this is related to SP1. The AF version I have works good though. I'll go and get the new version manually.
i knw it sounds crazy "port" for bootanimation but i specially created this animation for streak 5 so thought why not use for other streak models, it has boot sound too...dunno whether S7 supports audio while booting...below is the link where i first posted for S5

If you want to backup your current bootanimation file then simply rename or copy somewhere else.
Don't do reboots just to see the bootanimation as reboots effects battery life so i made a gif animation and to hear with audio, a youtube link is uploaded.
Flashable file(MADbootanimation_Rfix.zip) (CWM recovery) and two files(bootanimation_Rfix.zip and android_audio.mp3) (root explorer) are provided in below links.
For 2nd method download bootanimation_Rfix.zip and rename to bootanimation.zip.
Hit my thanks meter and enjoy
All flashable files resides in 'system/media/"...." only'.
For different roms who have different places like data/local/"...." select the 2nd method of installation process.
Full animation preview may differ on different roms depending upon time of booting to lockscreen.
I do not have streak7 and havn't use any yet but i hope it's pretty same and will work for S7 so nandroid backup is recommended.
Follow all the steps carefully as we are all not PROFESSIONALS.

If I read this correctly I must be rooted to work??
IF so that I just want to say thanks for from the ones that use this on rooted machines!
I have tried all the steps and can not seem to root my device via the USB process and none of the rooting processes I have been pointed to work from the SIM CARD, on my factory Referbed 3.x installed WiFi device.

the wifi variant of the device doesnt have a SIM card slot, I suggest you know the names of what you are using before you ask for help, if you cant tell the difference between an SD card and a SIM card you probably shouldnt be f***ing around with stuff on here, just saying that it'd be for the best if learnt some more basic stuff before you did anything
I always admired this boot animation! Great work. You should give credit to Dell...not! haha
This one is probably the best boot animation I have ever used. A combination of Marvel and DC comics characters, it is a must have for any Marvel or DC fan. It has almost all the popular superheroes like Batman, Superman, Flash, Captain America, Ironman, Hulk, Wolverine and many more. Just try it once and you will never want to switch to any other boot animation ever!
Instruction to use:
You don't really need to flash the zip file. Just download the zip file and copy it to your device. Now go to /system/media and rename current bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip1 for future reference and now paste the copied boot animation zip file. Now just restart the device and enjoy all the superheroes on your device.
Known Issue:
This bootanimation will NOT work on newer Samsung devices with stock ROMs or TouchWiz-based custom ROMs. Samsung uses a proprietary QMG format for it's bootanimations, and doesn't support the bootanimation.zip which we're using. There's not much we can do about this, only recommend you use a custom, AOSP based ROM like CyanogenMod or others.
Troubleshooting:
If the bootanimation is still not working for you and you're sure you did everything the instructions say, I am really sorry about that, please let me know and I will try my best to help.
For me to be able to help you, it would be great if you included this information in your post:
your device manufacturer and model
which ROM do you use
which version have you tried to install
if you installed via recovery or manually
what exactly is happening when you say "it's not working"
if you have tried some other custom bootanimation and if it was working for you or not (and if it worked, perhaps include the link to it as well)
pictures or videos are useful as well, if you experience some strange behaviour not easily explained by words
If you like the boot animation, don't forget to hit "Thanks".
Note: If you want to see who are all the superheroes there, just download the zip and unzip it to see all the images.

worked for me. its looking super cool
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!
