Hi guys,
Has anyone worked out if you can change the boot image yet? I'm running the leaked 2.1 on an AT&T Streak but I'm not the biggest fan of the big O2 picture when I turn my phone on.
Thanks,
Krisbo

Find the bootanimation.zip of your liking and replace the one in System/media
Cool, thanks!
I have a Telstra HTC Desire (soon to be sent to the USA, but I have it for now). Is there an easy way to extract the boot image from it and copy it to the Streak?
i just deleted mine so i get the default android splash. i think the one from the att 1.6 rom was nicer looking but i dunno where to find that.
I found the file using Astro but I can't delete it. How did you manage to delete it?
you need root for one. and astro wont write to root protected folders. you can use root explorer in place of astro, but it costs money and i though its easier than my method, its also more expensive. i downloaded mount /system (rw / ro) and android terminal emulator from the market. mounted the system folder as rw. opened terminal and ran "su" for root shell, then did "rm -f /system/media/bootanimation.zip". then if you want to put in your own boot animation, you should be able to do "cp /sdcard/locationof/bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip".

For anyone wondering how to replace your bootanimation, just mount your system partition either with Clockwork Recovery or root explorer and push a bootanimation.zip to /system/customize/resource/TMUS_bootanimation.zip
Here are a couple you can use:
My Evo 4g Bootanimation Thread - Sorry some say Evo 4g.
SamJamz BootAnimation Thread
Basically any bootanimation from a phone that is 480x800 should fit just fine.

Do you push the file while in recovery mode? Kinda confused about that part.
Edit: Got it, yep, you have to be in recovery to accomplish this.
Can this be done on non rooted phones? I know it was done on the nexus

Our phones are a little bit different... our bootanimation is located at system/customize/resource and renamed bootanimation.zip to TMUS_bootanimation.zip I did all this thru root explorer no adb required!
just incase, I also copied the original file I was replacing to my sdcard (if ever I wanted to go back)
Hope this helps
Here's one of my favs, R2d2 boot animation. It's already named correctly, just use root explorer, and make sure the permission is right. Ahh, can't upload zip from the app, I will when I get to my cpu
Thanks for this!
I now have a sweet Android (Cyanogen theme - in prep for CM release ) boot animation in place of the lame stock "my" scribble.
Now all I'd like to do for boot is change the stock splash screen. I've found one to use, but the instructions for applying are for the Evo and not sure I want to risk jacking something up if it's not right. It states to use fastboot to flash the splash screen onto the phone, replacing the stock. To those who know - does that sound right? Where is the stock splash located so I can back it up to my sdcard first?
Any pointers appreciated!
it looks like it u have to be permarooted for the changes to stick :-\
can anyone else confirm??

Maybe I'm stupid, but I couldn't get system to mount through Clockwork, so just copied the zip to my sd card and replaced the stock file using Root Explorer.
Worked fine, though I backed up the stock one first.

I am also in root explorer and went thru the needed folders till I got to bootanimation folder. How do you paste the renamed animation into that folder? (don't want to screw it up) copy from my sd card and paste it into the folder? Do i paste it into the folder and then tap on (mount rw)? Or do I tap on (mount rw) then hit paste. Rookie worried I might screw it up if do it wrong.
Thanks,

Got rid of the blur boot animation.
Grabbed this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=648555
And amended the timing for stock ghz
Just push it to system/media
Proves the concept. Need to work on some Defy specific artwork.
[Edit] -Now updated with defy specific art.
i know im missing something here...
I can rename the original bootanimation.zip to bootanimation1.zip using adb.
put when i try to push the new file i get
"C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
failed to copy 'bootanimation.zip' to '/system/media/bootanimation.zip': Permission denied"
do I need to do anything to make the file system r/w?
I think you need to be root to do that.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
you need root and you will need to activate su permission i imagine?
anyway the way i did it was put it on my sdcard rename the original using "mv" and then copied the new one over using "cp"
Thanks, got it working now.
I did mount it rw and could rename the files, just couldnt mv the file from the sdcard but cp seemed to work.
Just grab "Boot Animation Changer" from Market and boom, change all you want. I partial to the Super Mario one...

Thank you for this really nice boot animation, I really hated the blurry [blur].
Nice boot animation!!!
hope it had a defy WVGA honeycomb version~
This has to be specific to the Defy device correct? I saw the custom boot on the main page and wanted it but I thought it probably wont have the right dimensions and bootloop my defy or something...
Im going to try yours.

Yes, it's the Defy version.
I have been playing about with this a little, as a result i have created two edited versions of the above theme.
The first one lists a processor of 800mhz with the dates 2011 showing as well as 2.1 eclair being booted and the second is as above but lists a 1000mhz processor.
I know someone else has done a 1000mhz with 2011 dates (all though he has forgotten to change the 2010 shown on the bottom of the screen to 2011) also lists 2.2 froyo.
This theme is not mine i just updated it a little for users using 2.1 who want the dates updated with an option of picking a processor size.
Very nice. Thanks
hi.....so thx for instructions
Works great, thanks!
After looking for a while in different forums, I finally was able to get R2D2 as my boot animation for my Streak. I adjusted the images to be in landscape position to fit nicely on the 5" screen. To install it, download and unzip the file, place the file on your SD card, and reboot into recovery to install it from zip file. I am not sure if the Dell Streak can play audio during boot up or not, but I was not able to get it working.
Thanks goes out to Team Black Hat for the original file.
R2D2 is now on my streak
I did have problem where I couldnt get it to flash, so instead I renamed the r2d2-bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip and put it in system/media folder.
I use the StreakMod Recovey instead of clockwork so that might have been the reason I couldnt get it to flash.
Sorry I forgot to mention that I use clockworkmod to flash it. Thanks for the alternative way to get it on there.

I think you can also put it in data/local..Seems to work on my G2..Your way of putting it in system/media also worked for me..Seems easier to do if you have root explorer. Any link with screenshots?
Im sure that I will be making more boot animations. I just need to find the time to do them.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Data/local works fine for bootanimation.zip
nice
the sound is not possible since there is no service playing it in dell streak os
Another great thing about this animation it makes waiting while booting seem less stressful after installing a new taskbar, since the wait is using longer than on a normal boot.
ADB command is:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
But, I forgot that stupid 30pin sync cable so I wanted to do it from the phone using terminal. Still had to download .7z file using computer and renamed it to bootanimation.zip and copied to my phone wirelessly using dropbox. (then longpress file name in dropbox and "download")
Terminal command:
su
cp /sdcard/dropbox/bootanimation.zip /data/local/
reboot

Big props on this boot animation! It looks absolutely fantastic!
hey there,
i took the file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1297084, converted the resolution of the images and adapted the desc.txt and packed it again.
i'm using the ROM Devil_2.3.7 and just put it to /data/local/ using adb, it works without problems for me.
i hope you like my first post in this forum
greets
stefan
edit: forgot to attach the file
This is pretty wacky, and awesome! I love it!
Quite fine........
is it possible to turn boot animation off?
sorry if this is a dumb question... but is this only boot animation (the animation on startup)? or the entire ice cream sandwich theme?

The way I did it was (NOTE:Only applies to ROM's based off CM7.1 as far as I know) place the bootanimation.zip file onto SD Card. Download a Root File Explorer like Root Browser from Google Play. Navigate to the file on the SD Card and copy it. Now navigate to /system/media and backup(if you want) the existing bootanimation.zip or you can go straight ahead and just delete it. Now paste the bootanimation.zip you copied from the SD Card and you should be all good to go
When I'm able to(because I'm still new here) I hope to write up a proper guide on how to do this

On rooted S-ON legends you can do it only in recovery mode with adb and r4-legend-recovery tools.
boot into recovery mode, after launching recovery-windows.bat (if you use windows of course) from r4-legend mount /system then push the bootanimation.zip into /system/media
I'm trying to apply this animation but I can't remove/copy for back up the old one.
I have root browser and superuser gives it root rights but I cant modify permission to the file or move it.
Any suggestion?

hey, i got a virgin mobile s2 yesterday and i rooted and unlocked with
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13715727
and galaxy s unlock on the market.
im assuming it went well since i have the yellow triangle and my rogers sim now works.
i got root explorer and followed instructions on making "local.prop" in data with "ro.camera.sound.forced=0" but it hasnt been working.
is there any known problems with my type of combination
Virgin
XWKDD_insecure.tar
or any other help at all?
Im totally new to this and i dont want to mess anything up by using another rom or something because i need it before a flight tomorrow morning.
You could delete the following using root explorer:
/system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg
/system/media/audio/ui/camera_click_short.ogg
/system/media/audio/ui/Shutter_01.ogg
That way you delete the audio file the camera uses. If you don't want to do it as a permanent solution, you could backup the files if you want to restore them.
hmm i already tried to rename those files in root explorer but i got a no permission error. but your post brought me back to it and i successfully renamed them after turning on "mount r/w".
Thanks! lol
Although it would have been cool to keep the sounds and only make it silent when it was in silent mode :/
