Adding a new boot animation - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know on other phones it is a simple bootanimation.zip copy and paste, but the vibrant doesnt use that format. So what files do i need to replace?
Thank you

Need a little more info.
Are you stock (non)rooted?
Are you on a custom rom?
Most of the,if not all, custom roms accept bootanimation.zip. There are tons of them in the theme section. Also a tutorial or two as well on making them.

Actually the vibrant does support that...its just that the kernel must support it....its basically supported on all custom ROMs/kernels....not so sure of stock ROMs though...what ROM are you using?

Im on the 2.2.1 Rom just released i am on tapatalk so i cant recall the spelling.
I checked in system/media i couldn't find it. I found bootanimation but no zip.

I think you have to be on a custom ROM to utilize the bootanimation.zip

Awesome... thank you.
Stupid question though. Is there any way to install this just by renaming to bootanimation.zip and using root explorer?

All you should have to do is download the Droid_Destroys_Apple_Atrix_Boot zip file, unzip, open folder you unzipped to, navigate to system/media in the folder, copy bootanimation.zip to your sdcard, rename your original boot animation in your phone at system/media to something like bootanimation_bak.zip, move the new bootanimation into system/media on your phone, reboot.
thank you so much i have it and its awesome its way better than that stupid att one. i don't want to push it but the one i wanted was the ''andro eats an apple bootup" type andro eats an apple bootup on youtube and you'll get it its really funny if you can make it thanks

This would make an awesome Android boot animation. Shame about the seniorgif.com mark though.

Building on the topic,
I recently bought an AT & T Atrix in DX and came up with a modified ROM, as some had progras in Chinese, I chose to switch to the 2.3.6 rom from AT & T.
He loved the boot animation that came, but upgraded to the AT% T rom and there was the boot animation. I wonder if anyone knows this boot is animator? If possible, can put the link?
Video of the boot animation:

Sorry, no link! a´am noob on the forum!
thank you

if u will find it u dont need to flash it. just replace the file with root explorer or esb explorer. the file is called bootanimation.zip
firstu need to find the stock one and replace it manualy (just delete the one that is there inside and replace it with the new one) - easy thing to do. i cant help u with the stock animation cause i have moded already mine. but i hope some of the guys will post it for you soon.
Stock Boot animation is not called bootanimation zip that is a custom animation .
Stock bootanimation should still be on your phone unless you removed the two bootanimation qmg files .
Zip overrides them if you want stock back just delete boot animation zip

Thanks...i will try it!

[Q] Cut down XOOM rom?

I do really apoligize if i sound incredibly noob-ish and dumb. If in theory i download a stock flashable xoom rom and then remove most xoom independent files such as kernel (modules) and other /system folders then flash it over a lightweight rom without tw apps, would i get a stock honeycomb rom? Mainly relying on compatible /system/app and system/framework folders?

nope. If you don't know what you're doing (and few of us do), just find a ROM in the dev forum and follow the instructions. If it was as easy as that, everyone would be a dev...

[Q] How do you install custom fonts with Zip file for LTE?

I tried using .zip files from the 300 Font thread in TWRP recovery, and it said "Failed".
I've used Font Installer from the market, but it changed certain things, and then didn't change them back later when I wanted to try something else.
Is there a new and special way to flash these .zips in recovery?
You would need zips specifically for ics. The font files are different. Also, I don't know if twrp can read anything other than edify.

Check here for more information on making flashable font packs for ICS. You might be able to take his zipfile, and just replace the fonts inside with your own using 7zip (make sure they're named correctly - exactly like they are in his example fontpack). He's also got a bunch there to choose from. maybe he'll make one for you if you're uncomfortable doing it yourself.

Changing Boot Animation with Stock ICS

I have a rooted galaxy tab 10.1 wifi using stock ics and the A1 kernel v2.1, is their a way to change the boot animation? I've tried installing it to /data/local/ with no luck and even tried /system/media/ but nothing worked. Can anybody help? Thanks in advance!
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk
Its not that easy some times. The system that handles the bootanim is stock and there for not easy at all to change. Its some strange file standard. If you look in the system/media you find some files related to bootanim the file ending is sonething like qmd. You can google on that and try to mod it.
The easy way is to wait for some poor rom cook to change system.

I did a search on what you said and came across this link:
Code:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/15962-ei2romodincwmtweakstock-v14-updated-2712/
. If you checkout the changelog, it says that it changes the /system/media/ directory to where you can just name it a certain thing and it'll work and for this, all you have to do is flash it using CWM recovery. What do you think about this? Do you think it's safe?

Hi
No that rom is for an other unit. Its important to not flach wrong rom.
It need to be supported by the kernel. The creator of kernel A1 knows about this problem with bootanim. And its a hard to fix.
Sent from my GT-P7500 using XDA Premium HD app
There's no need to flash another ROM,and any ROM contains it's kernel in it's own package,you can go to this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709693
Here you'll see some bootanimations made for gtab 10.1...
Note that flashing these packages doesn't harm you device but may cause issues if they're not made for your version,for example cm9 went into a bootloop or didn't show the bootanimation when I flashed a bootanim...
