Need help removing the carrier logo at the start up. - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi everybody,
i want to get rid of the carrier logo when i start my x10.
i searched on the forums for this topic but every phone has different file format for this. so not sure to use those other methods.
i also tried to get rid of it by deleting last few files in etc\semc\chargemon. this didnt work either.
i do not want to modify it but just remove the carrier logo.
i have a rooted x10.Please help.

Generally a carrier logo means you have a branded phone, be it orange, vodafone etc etc. Anyway the easiest way to get rid of this is to install a global generic firmware, i believe Bin4ry and jerpelea have a thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683793
i think its that one
hope this helps

Just delete the bootanimation.zip from media and you'll have the default Android logo.

Exactly! No need to flash anything. And to the OP, why are you removing stuff at random? Never do that again! Bad boy, he he

Hello, I'm completly stock, how can I remove it.

Hi I have a Sony xperia z3 compact which shows the O2 symbol on start up & shutdown. I've read this forum that says delete the bootanimation. Zip from system/media but I'm afraid I can't find system/media. My phone isn't rooted does it have to be? I have file Explorer but I don't see this file pathway. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance

Original Android boot animation.

I have been searching for two days for this, both here and elsewhere, so forgive me if it's been right under my nose and I failed to find it.
I am trying to find the stock Android boot animation that began with, I believe, Cupcake. That is, the Android logo in a sort of blue-hued metallic texture. I want this for my Droid. If anyone knows where I can find this, given Droidboots is ****ed, I'd be very thankful.
completely removing the "bootanimation.zip" will default you to the "stock" android boot animation
What are the chances that I would be looking for the exact same boot animation? I haven't had any luck either.

+1. Go into /system/media, at least that is where it is on the heroc, with a file manager, root explorer is a fine choice, and delete the file named bootanimation.zip. reboot and enjoy the classic goodness.

Yup this works.
Even works on Sense ROMs.
It must be built in default when no customized carrier one exists.
Where do I get a copy of the default / classic "Android" boot animation?
Can someone post it on here?

I made default-look bootanimation in UOT kitchen. Look for "Android original"
THANK YOU SO MUCH I WANNA BE YOUR SEXY SLAVE 4EVER! hrhnick
for custom roms it should be in /system/media if you cant find it there use root explorer's search function to find it
Worked in 2019...thanks!

[Q] No bootanimation at all.

Hallo people,
i have a question about bootanimation. Mine isn't working at all.
Does anybody no how to get it working again? Have all the original files in the right places. May it be that i've deleted something when i was deleting some systemapps and bloatware, does bootanimation needs anything like an app or something? Also i changed the build.prop for showing no bootanimation, but offcourse i turned it back.
I'm on stock KPH, rooted, Coolya kernel, CRT animation enabled if any of this maybe important.
Thnx a lot in advance.

Not yet, and don't think i'm going to do that for just bootanimation.
Hoped it could be easily and quickly done, but if that's not going to happen then i will take this for granted (CRT and everything else is working fine and thats what i wanted)

You're making it hard to help you, man... If you don't answer my question, I can't point you in the right direction whatsoever...
So if this is your last answer, mine is: Well, then you don't!
Greetz, success,
kwarkje
EDIT: I didn't even know it was possible to delete the bootanimation and boot anyway... Has someone already experience with changing or deleting the bootanimation.zip in 2.3.3?
ok i did it i mounted the root explorer as r/w and deleted it.
btw if you delete the bootanimation, u will see a cool Android logo and it start up a little bit faster
OK; and thanks for the remark about deleting the bootanimation...
Greetz,

go to system/media and delete bootanimation.zip assuming you are rooted with a root applicable file explorer... if not, why the question...

Change boot-logo??

Hi members,
I know that there are ways to change the boot-animation, but I after I saw the complete Google Nexus boot up I liked It pretty much.
I already got the Nexus animation boot-up but I also want to replace the "Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-i9100" logo for the Nexus "Google" logo.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance.
Just swap the boot logo png, it's in the same folder as the boot animation (system/media I THINK)

I don't quite understand you jje, theme section on XDA or do I need to find a theme section on my phone?
First one
bootanimation.zip
Of course youre phone needs to be rooted.
Then you take youre bootanimation, often "Bootanimation.zip"
Use for example "Root Explorer" app, that have superuser rights to
youre phone system. "R.E" is like "Windows Explorer" for rooted phones
When you use "R.E" to be able to copy and paste systemfiles, you need to
"Mount RW", Read-Write.
Copy the Bootanimation.zip, and paste it in youre phones filesystem,
/data/local/bootanimation.zip
A good indication youre in right folder, is that some "temp" file is also there.
Reboot phone, and voila!
Good luck man

Thank you
I will keep this post updated and tell you guys if it worked or not.
from my experience you have to use a non stock kernel as stock kernels dont allow you to change the boot animation .. I may be wrong?
I am already using a costum kernel as you need to have a rooted device to actually change the boot-logo.
Btw, it works like a charm.
Thanks for the help you guys.
