I have been looking for the last couple days for this...
I want to simply flash a Kernel that will allow me to load my custom "bootanimation.zip" file into system/media and it show on boot-up. The catch is, I don't care to do this by flashing a custom ROM. Don't get me wrong, I really like some of the ROM's that these guys have created, I just don't want to go crazy with them. I want to make my own mix of greatness!
I did the update over Kies Mini, but then flashed the deodexed KA7 stock ROM from the Bible (In development). So it's the stock kernel that came with the KA7 build that I'm running.
I need to know what Kernel is compatible with the KA7 ROM
OR
how do i modify the system myself to make it work with custom bootanimation.zip files??
Any help is appreciated!!!

you can use any 2.2. kernel (most, if not all, support bootanimation.zip) with any 2.2 firmware/ROM. just keep a heads up because a lot of kernels flash their own modem. So if you flash a kernel that flashes a modem besides KA7, you would have to reflash KA7 manually if you want to keep it.
I would PERSONALLY recommend Eugene's Dead Horse kernel....just read before you flash!!!

I've flashed the deodexed KB1 ROM as well as the new KB1 Kernel + Voodoo by supercurio. I have his kernel specifically because it says in the main post "Also supported: custom boot animation, init.d scripts and an improved adb shell (new!)"
I love voodoo... but that's beside the point!
I've copied my bootanimation.zip folder (zipped using store mode, uncompressed) into the system/media folder on my phone and deleted the two samsungbootloop files in there. The damn thing still doesn't play the animation! I only have a 'part0' folder which houses all images labeled 'welcomanimation_0000' with progressing numbering. Permissions set are RWXRWXRW- as they are on most the custom ROM bootanimations I see around.
My 'desc' file has EXACTLY THIS in it:
480 800 30
p 0 0 part0
which was pulled straight from another ROM's bootanimation files!
I don't get it! What in the world am I missing??
It's irritating seeing all of these great boot animations and I can't get my own one working... anyone know what I'm screwing up?
Edit: I'm going to try flashing a custom bootanimation file and simply replacing their file with my file and see if there is something in their script in the flashing process that get's modified that I'm not doing myself through root explorer. Respond and let me know if that is a bad idea... I plan on trying it in about an hour after getting some crap done around the house.
Well... for anyone else that has had this issue...
Downloading an already packaged bootanimation file from one of these lovely moders... replacing their bootanimation.zip file in the media folder and packaging it all back up in a flashable zip folder worked like a charm! Thank you to whomever it was I took the file from... if I knew how to package a file to be flashable, I probably would have done it myself, but I didn't want to go through the hassle of learning.
Problem Solved!

Okay, let's go straight..I've been flashed two ROMs from eugene's Macnut R12 and Team Whiskeys' Obsidian V3, which are both roms competible to change bootanimation.zip. So, i found the .zip that i want and just place it under the /system/media/bootanimation.zip and reboot.
Not work and instead of Not shown any log, it boot into Stock Android.
Please...Can anyone help me to solve it, i just want to change a bootanimation into something i like??
i cant find bootanimation.zip inside media.i can see bootani.qwg file. how to replace it??
Might seem like a simple question but did you take out the original bootanimation.zip before you put the new one in? Also you have to set the permissions correctly. Try again and pull original out and put on sdcard. Put new one in and check permissions. Then reboot. I've done this many times, so not sure why it didn't work for you.
If you don't see bootanimation.zip in /system/media but rather a bunch of bootani.qwg files, your kernel doesn't support it. I know the Bali kernals do, as most Voodoo injected ones do too.
where can i go and how do i re-install that thunder noise when the phone boots up?
Tbolt bootanimation.zip: http://bit.ly/qC9nxm
VZW initial boot sound: http://www.multiupload.com/YICXKSGZSP
Tbolt animation and thundersound for Droids that you can pull the sound out of: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9OQW2AY3
To get sound an animation working together you may have to find someone w/ a custom bootanimation binary (not sure if the stock one would work). I'd imagine someone's done it around here though.
Ok but where do we put the audio file?

Stock rom (and possibly some custom based on stock):
/system/customize/resource/
Custom Roms (really depends on the rom but for aosp/CM based):
You can place it in /data/local or /system/media or wherever you want but it's not going to play unless you either modify the bootanimation binary or add a script to run the sound using stagefright on boot.

Edit:
After thinking about it, I decided that might be a little confusing to some considering those links are for other devices. They were mainly for reference since the principle applies to nearly any device running aosp/CM based roms really. Stock roms should already have the required binaries.
I'm trying to extract the file phone.apk from stock ROM version KG6.
I understand that the apk files are inside the factoryfs.img file, but how can I open this file ?, I tried Winrar but it doesn't open...
look at this thread. This is internal ext4 image. You must repack and mount it to read something.
You can try also to find an unpacked rom dump.
Take them attached. I've extracted them (apk+odex) from KG6.

Thanks Ivan. I've looked at that thread, but from what I understand that code is for linux, no ? I only have windows...
Any clue of where can I find that unpacked rom dump ?
Just look above I've unpacked them for you
P.S. in that thread is the program and tip for windows. Just read all the posts
Of course, linux is better and faster for that
Thanks Ivan !!
Ivan, I've tried to put the phone.apk file that you've extracted for me, in the system/app directory of my phone (I haven't moved phone.odex though).
The problem is that now I get forced close...
The ROM that I'm using is Cognition 1.42, which is based on KG6 (but Cognition is deodexed).
What do you think could be the reason that the phone.apk file that you've extracted from stock KG6, doesn't work with Cognition KG6 ROM ? ?
Reason you haven't moved the odex file - is the essential part of the app. Dont forget to reboot after that. This is not deodexed file
If it doesn't work (should be) you have to look for cognition orginal deodexed phone.apk, because it may have some modifications. I have many customs on my PC, but cognition. So pity
Tell me if it doesnt work, I'll ask someone to give it to me.
Thanks again for all your help Ivan. Much appreciated.
I tried to copy both phone.apk and phone.odex to system\app, but it still doesn't work.
I don't have a problem returning to the original cognition ROM (via CWM). The thing is that I want to replace his phone.apk with the one that comes with the stock version, because I want the "ascending ringtone" back (he disabled this feature in his version of the phone.apk).
I have sent you the stock version from KG6. As I said cognition won't work with stock phone.abk due to some modifications.
Hi,
I have read through all the posts regarding bootsound for my rom and others and also other phones and have tried many different options.
I have tried for 5days now trying figure how to get sound to work on boot up.
I have put PowerOn.wav and PowerOn.mp3 and PowerOn.ogg in both the system/etc directory and system/media directory, and no luck hearing sound on boot up.
The volume is set as high as possible, all volumes.
I've also tried android_audio.mp3 and android_audio.wav and android_audio.ogg in both directories and all 6 in data/local too and still nothing.
I have tried with BAC app and still nothing.
I have westcrips Resurrection remix 1.4 and 1.5 kernel supplied. I have also tried thoravukk kernel and nothing.
What should I do?
somethimes after u flash kernels the sound goes off,some kernel support sound an some dont..
bootsound
i thought that might be the case, so i tried it with stock kernel that comes with Westcrips res remix (cm9) and then i flashed thoravukk kernel and tried sound again and still nothing.
Would you know what kernel i could try that actually does support bootsound??
better ask this in the remix resurection thread,,,i am on stock an yes i do flash an for me too some roms don give the boot sound,but coming to auto everything works...
Thanks for your help.
Unfortunately I am unable to post yet in that forum because I am new
Location is >>> for ICS system /etc PowerOn.OGG.

Thanks for that. I've tried that file aswell. I don't suppose you have a working poweron.ogg file.
I used a converter to convert original sgs2 sound poweron.wav to .ogg but I'm hoping my issue is simply incompatible format or size. Its really doing my head in.
From stock rom .

Unfortunately I can't download the file, it keeps trying to download but it each time as it starts it fails. Can u post it on here at all?
If it is CM9 base it wont work. Its to do with the system vold. Samsung run a different system vold, vold.stab and several other files. Better off a samsung based ROM that has been modded to be mostly AOSP.
I will be uploading one very soon, but I am still testing. Bootsound works. it was own of my requirements.
Check out dynamic or anyone in the list of Touchwiz based ROMs even though they may not look TW they will have the required files.
Also siyah kernel seems to support this along with all the other cool stuff like FM radio etc. Use it. It also allows for duel boot systems i.e. you can run two OS and you it supports CM and Samsung which is even better. no need to change kernels at all
This this
Hello,
Try renaming the file to:
boot_audio
and this should be im mp3 format. Place it on this path:
system/media
reboot and check.
Would it be possible to install an i9000 Rom and make an installable zip that has all necessary vibrant files instead of having to port the Rom on a pc?

Sadly we have very little developers on board. Also, it is better to flash the proper ported ROM from the start because if not, file permission failure may happen among other issues such as Force Closes. I gave you the link on how to do it in another thread. It may seem complicated at first but it is not complicated if you, for example, by using 7Zip (or similar) on your PC take the required files from, say, sada's CyanogenMod ROM by opening its zip file with 7Zip and drag it to the .zip i9000 ROM you want to port. Just giving you a hint to make it easier for you. I managed to do it some weeks ago and I didn't know the how-to before.

The thing is I want to eliminate the PC from the equation. I like to download roms from my browser and would like to download a i9000 zip, install it with another zip. And boom. I9000 Rom on the vibrant. I will see if I can work on it and make it a reality.

that approach is time consuming to do on the phone takes at least a few minutes just to extract it and same goes for zipping everything back up. trust me I've done this before and never done it again. it would be best to do on a comp less likely to make a mistake
but if you're determined to do it on your phone go for it and good luck. what rom are you wanting to port over from the i9000?

ah nameless I haven't ran that in months but if I remember correctly you need to delete or swap the bootanimation. I forgot exactly why its needed but it seems to cause issues, not really sure but I think it causes the rom to end up in a bootloop...
