Does anyone know if it's possible to remove the videos that play when you boot up the phone? I would imagine it's simply a matter of removing the video files but I have no idea where those files are hidden or if it's even possible.
At the very least I'd like to remove the verizon one... Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
+1. I'd like to remove the Verizon video as well. I almost want to put a Droid eye on it since I like this thing more than my buggy old X.

I've been wondering this as well. Already figured out how to get rid of the sound but the logo is just obnoxious.

I'd love to see some cool animation of the Galaxy S startup and then it switching to the Droid X eye instead of the stupid VZ splash screen.
I believe this is located in the framework-res.apk under assets if I'm not mistaken... someone chime in if I'm wrong.
Are the videos just MPEGs or some other form of video? If I knew a little bit more about the file requirements, I could put together a custom Droid eye animation to replace the VZ splash. But I'm new to this root-related stuff and don't know exactly where to look.

Its in system/media/bootsamsung(forgottherest).qmg. The shutdown animation can easily be changed though. Details tomorrow....

I'd like to get rid of it as well. I know there's an app for custom boot animations but I don't think it works for our phone. Anything is better than the hideous VZ logo.

removing a few of the start up screens
I have already changed the initial boot screen (Atari girl), but I would like to see if I can either remove or hide the screen that loads the aMAGLDR , the DFT screen, the noisy HTC quietly brilliant animated screen. I have Android 2.2, Kernel 2.6.32.15-g66f6ed7-dirty, Build number 2.29.405.5.. thanks for your help in advance
Here's how to change the boot screen:

Ive tried making my own theme including this using this awesome kitchen: http://circle.glx.nl/
I would love to have the Power options (GPS, WiFi, BT, etc) in the pull down, anyone know how?
I checked out this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=885326&page=2
And pulled the framework apk from this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764787
When I tried using the framework from evils Desire port and I clicked on the option in the kitchen it would error out, when I used the framework from the rom above it was fine. Phone booted, no issues, but since it is not from this device its missing things, and menus are spaced with blank areas.
Sorry for the super noob questions, but can someone point me to a guide on how to incorporate this feature on our Roms?
The Galaxy S style Notification Bar controls are something I really miss about my Vibrant. If I wanted a list of recently opened apps, I can long press on Home
one more vote for notification area power controls!
like this ?
+1 for pull down power menu..

I know you are trying to implement it into a rom. If anyone is just looking for this feature, give Widgetsoid a try.
Hi
Tried this but not the best thing. This requires the widget to be on the screen as well. Also what I see in the HD forum is to get rid of the latest used app and the carrier name.

Actually you are incorrect. This doesnt require the widget to be on the home screen. You can have it only in the notification bar. This app did take a minute to get set up how I wanted but it is GREAT!!! One of the biggest things I was missing from CM7 was this feature and now I can make sure to have it on any rom I am running.
theres people asking for this....and i don't think people should flash a non stable rom just for this animation....so here:
screen off and lock
doesn't use lock button, but you can remap long press of search button (i don't use google voice actions that much) to lock the screen with an animation.
hope this helps some people
oh....and if you're rooted (which most people on here are) you can pull the xml animation file and rename it lock_screen_enter.xml or lock_screen_behind_enter.xml, then push it to your frameworkres.apk/anim, it will be your animation for unlocking your phone. it's ultra fast and fits perfectly with the unlock sounds.
i'd include a video, but i dont have a digital camera....
Hmm, Im going to wait to see if someone tries this. Could be pretty epic.
Hmm I was under the impression that the frameworks prior to ginger bread had no support for that kind of animation.
Might when I get home, I really do like the tv animation
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
I guess pre-gingerbread, the sdk doesn't call for an xml when hitting the power/lock button. So that's why I use the feature to remap long pressing the search button.

alright, sorry , it sounded like ya think i'm a moron. I tried 2 times, reinstalled, restarted, and still no Gingerbread style tv off animation. There seems to be a slightly different animation when putting phone to sleep when I set it to "old style TV", but def not gingerbread , not even close.
So I guess I'm must be doing something VERY wrong with the simple instructions and setttings... IDK man. Not sure what to say,
Thanks for the app, unfortunately tho it does not give that GB style tv off animation
EDIT: yes I have all animations turned on, always do
I figure it's close enough for those who really wanted the animation like me. And it works in landscape. So that's a plus to me.
I just wasn't down to install an unstable gb build for this animation.

I'm not bashing at all. Just reporting back from my use of the app. NONE of the animations I select work , so maybe it is the ROM I'm using. IDK.

Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Working very well, thanks man! Are there any ways to speed/slow down the animation?
EDIT: Can you also elaborate on unlock animation? Does this mean when we hit the power button the screen will turn on that way in reverse? I'd like to get that going, but would I have to know how to edit and recompile an apk? I've never really messed with xml files.
I mean the transition from your lock screen to your home screen/open app.

can we do this using root explorer?
What I do is take this app from data/app and bring it to my computer, and extract scale_old_tv.xml, and rename it to lock_screen_exit.xml and take your framework, and drop it into framework/res/anim

Is it possible to make different types of window animations?
If it is, and if someone would like to make it, here are some suggestions...
An animation...
with a "3D" sense to it.
where the first window dissolves from a side to the other and the second window appears directly after
that fades from one to the other (like the dropbox app intro)
that looks like a page turning
that is random to many different animations
Thanks!
I downloaded an app called "Anim Mod *Root*" from the Market. Obviously it only works on rooted phones. It offers several animations to choose from like;
bounce,flip,fly-in,fold etc. It works quite well on my phone with no glitches or random reboots or force closures.
Hope this helps?

Can anyone get the awesome Trigger 3.2 bootanimation in either white or a neon-ish green? I just don't like the blue, but that animation is badass. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
I started doing this myself and have the images done, but the animation does not work. All I did was unzip, modify color and save, and zip everything back up. Anybody have any insight as to why this does not work? It just sits at a black screen for booting.

Tonicacid has a good tutorial on the process that may help you find what you're missing:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=862537&highlight=tonicacid
Would simply creating a morph work to modify the images? I've made lots of morphs, but it was always for modding framework images. If you shoot me the images you've modified, I'll mess with creating a morph to see if it works.
I appreciate you trying to help, but I am already fixed. Moved on to miui, and had tons of selectable boot animations to pick from. Just got hooked on another. Sorry for the late response, have not been on in awhile

So, I don't know if this is a dumb question or not, but I was wondering if there is something I can flash that will just change my lock screen cause I'm tired of the lock screen where I just have two options....slide right to unlock and slide left for sound. I'm running Eclipse v1. 3. Any answers would be much appreciated. Thanks

I don't know about flashing to change lockscreen...
but you can try widgetlocker, go locker, QQlauncher, or something similar from market to change up your lockscreen ...there are a few apps available that allow for customized lockscreen ...even allowing u to add widgets or custom sliders to the lockscreen ...
good luck
Liberty X3 you can choose the rotation slider.
On Molten you can choose rotary too.
Ash is right though, those would be the best options.

yeah I understand that...
I was also trying to find a way to just replace an apk or something easy like flashing something to get different lockscreen so I don't have an app constantly running to change it...
hopefully someone who knows how to make flashable locksxreens will see this and give us a few choices
ICS theme has a nice lockscreen!
I'm thinking about trying out Liberty 3
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Lockscreens are difficult to add. There aren't any options for an actual lockscreen replacement (besides using Molten or Liberty which allow for Rotary). Lockscreen changes require much smali editing that doesn't seem worth it.
I just hope we can get CM7 soon...
If you want. Go to UOT Kitchen and upload your systeemUI and framework-res apks and make your own lock screen with the options there" then it will cook you a flashable zip. Its pretty neat!

Magic Lock from the market is nice. they have 20 or so different themes with different locks and shortcut keys to apps while your phone is locked. Heres a screen shot of my current lock screen.

Is the lockscreen really that big of a deal? I have seen multiple post of you asking for your lockscreen. I believe you even tried liberty x and still not happy. Seems like a lot of work for a lockscreen.
Haha. Well it's a big deal to me. They coulda at least made the lockscreen on Liberty more customizable

Just seems like many people gave you options and you are very hard to please. I personally like the lockscreen for the ICS theme. You should check those out in theme section. Then if all else fails start by Google uop kitchen and learn to make your own.
Ive been very happy with WidgetLocker. Im trying out MagicLocker right now though just to change it up. If you are worried about battery life, just stay with the default lock screen. Any locker app will probably have an effect on your battery. Sorry.
the lockscreen is a pretty big deal to me.
I settled on widgetlocker.
Its not as good as CHT & winmo, but its the best I found so far.
Go Locker is one of my favs. After switching to this from Widget Locker, I've noticed a little better battery life. I would try it out for a while.
