Does anyone have a working bootanimation.zip without the AT&T logo? I tried editing the original one but I ended up with a blank boot animation screen.
you should be able to search the forum for whatever boot animation you want. Granted they won't be the proper resolution if you pick one with black edges you will be fine. I was using one on a previous flash just fine.
I'll try to find the thread where I found mine

sweet, so exisiting bootanimations work, I can use my old one again haha.

I tried those animations and they worked fine, but I still wish I could keep the original animation.
Boot Animations, while can be tricky and a headache, are customizable if you can adjust the image sizes, etc.
For example, the Motorola Atrix can use up to 540x960 for the resolution. You can also add custom sounds at load by saving an OGG audio file to /system/media (same location as the bootanimation.zip) and adding it accordingly to the desc.txt file. Below is an example.
Code:
540 960 1
p 1 10 part0
s autodestruct.ogg
p 0 0 part1
The first line is the resolution and the frames per second.
Code:
"540 960" Resolution "1" Frames Per Second (each individual image)
The second line defines a Part. For example, the first animation you want to play. So far for me, this is the animation AFTER the Dual Core logo that plays when I've made mine.
Code:
"p" Depicts this is a Part "1" Repeat this many times (0 is infinite) "10" is the delay in frames before the next Part "part0" is the directory within the zip to load this part from
So far easy right? The next line, is for the audio file. If the OGG has a loop point, the audio will loop until the Part is over that it plays within.
Code:
"s" Depicts a sound "autodestruct.ogg" The filename to load from /system/media
A few more examples of loading parts............
To load a Part that is a single image, that loops till boot is done, use this
Code:
p 0 0 "directory_name_here"
I'll try to post some example bootanimation.zip files with explanations if I get time. I've only made a couple so far for my company out of boredom.

So this doesn't break anything? Will I be able to update my phone when an update is out, without having to restore the original bootanimation.zip?

I recommend using your file explorer to rename the original bootanimation.zip on your phone to something like bootanimation_original.zip then put in your custom if you have any worries.
That way, if you go to update just rename custom to bootanimation_custom.zip and restore the original.
Personally, I do not know if the boot animation file will affect updates, but that is a failsafe for you just in case.

Ohh, so what you want is the default bootanimation without the ATT part!
I've personally never worked with bootanimations before, but using MrSER's guide above, i'll try to do that for you.
EDIT: yea... I only get the blackscreen too, really weird...
EDIT 2: figured it out. if you're using WinRAR, when you go to make a .zip, choose "store" instead of "normal" compression, and it should work just fine. I have attached the Default bootanimation.zip without the ATT part

My bad mate, forgot to mention that. I make mine with Winzip 15 Pro and set it to No Compression (from my experience, no compression is a requirement).
I may end up doing a tutorial on all this on my blog. If I do, I'll post a copy here and link as well (I like screenshots on my blog, lol).

thanks for the bootanimation.zip, i did chmod 644 it before cp to /system/media to match the perms on the original bootanimation.zip, but i did a reboot and it worked fine. it's nice not having the att logo during boot, and having att removed from the notification bar with the ginerblur mod too. feels good man!

Just find a boot animation that you like, download the zip file, rename it to bootanimation.zip and then go into your system/media folder and change the name of the current bootanimation to anything you want like bootanimationold.zip. Then put the new zip file in the system/media folder and there you go. You do not need to move the old boot animation file as long as you change the name.
of course, the method I'm describing is relevant if you have rooted your phone and you have something like Root Explorer, otherwise you will need to use adb, but still you need root.

Has anyone figured out how to change the boot animation?
It seems it's stored in /system/media/bootanimation.zip
I tried replacing the .PNG images inside the archive and that didn't work, although I might have messed up something. I'm just glad to be rid of that dreadful SE color splash until someone else finds a solution.
finished playing with this a little while ago... when you replace the files you must use no compression, ie store. i've attached one with the android robot waving (cropped from nexus) simple, but at least the splash is gone

i finally found it for sure...from the zip above extract them all put your images in an then add in a zip file all of them again but you have to rename it as bootanimation.zip and you have to choose at winrar compression method store...its final and you can put anything you want...
Thank you for helping me sort this out.
Here's GLa’DOS "Android Scribble" animation for the x10 mini.
Apparently anim2 lasts a couple of seconds, and anim3 last the longest.
I lost my first x10 mini, so I added a name and telephone number for my animation after posting (and a lock screen for the phone).
if anyone want me to make any anime feel free...
here is my first one and of course greek...

to decompress it and stuff.

1 root your phone
2 download rootexplorer(<---and install it) & any bootanimation.zip you want
3 open rootexplorer and go to your sdcard hold down your finger and choose copy
4 then go to system/media
5 at the upper of your root explorer its a button that says mount r/w make it says by pushing it mount r/o
6 push the button paste and then when it says ovewrite push yes
7 reboot and you r ready!!!!
if i make it a single file you will not have the option when the first animation is over the second to be anime it will be a still picture if you want that just leave one image in the second folder..because it have 2 phases of animation..!!!!(if you remember first when the colours where mixing and then the still image with sony ericsson logo and letters)
I've been trying to edit the desc.txt file so I can have a little more flexibility but even if I save it without making any changes it stops working.
After a look around the interwebs someone mentioned saving in the UNIX format, so I used Notepad ++ in UNIX and tried editing/saving in that but there's still problems, sometimes it doesn't work at all and sometimes it only shows the first folder.
Also, are there any limitations as to framerate and how many files can go in the part0/part1 folders (revision of enormous101's bootanimation.zip).
Finally, is it ok to add a part2?
do not use compression - use Winrar and select "store"

as i mentioned part 2 is when the bootanimation of sony ericsson stays frozen you can add anything you want and its safe to play with part two.. no limitation except your internal storage!!!!what exactly are you trying to do with desc?may i help you?if you find my preview posts at the first page you will find to download the bootanimation.zip with two parts so unzip it and when you add your images zip it with winrar at store compression mode...

Nice thread!
I was wondering about the desc.txt file. I am using the Rogers 2.1 firmware and I want to remove the Rogers screen that shows up just before desktop loads. The PNG file for the Rogers screen is located in Anim5 and I was wondering if I just removed the entry for anim5 in the desc file, would that do the trick? I've already moved the original bootanimation.zip file onto my computer so it is backed up but I was just wondering if this would work. I am using a X10 but it seems like the file system is the same which is why I'm asking here. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks for your response! From what I've been reading, it seems that if I remove the entry for anim5 in the desc.txt, that it won't load that animation. It just seems easier to do this than to replace the image in that folder. Though the problem would then be making changes to a UNIX based txt file using a Windows OS and then the phone not recognizing the desc.txt file based on it being in the wrong format.
Anyway, I suppose I could just copy over the last image in anim4 and replace the one in anim5 with that and that would be the easier solution (as per your suggestion).
Here is the thread I was reading where it describes the desc.txt file and how to modify your boot animation.

I have the Call of Duty boot animation, but for some reason the audio wont work. I also have tried the Xbox 360 boot animation. Even that, will not play the audio. but the FinalThunder.mp3 still plays fine.
Ive checked permissions, file names...rhetorically everything. Anyone got an idea what i might be doing wrong?
which rom are you using.....I'm finding the same problem using CM7 and the Bios boot animation. Haven't really looked into it yet though as I just loaded it this morning.
Will post back if I find anything.........
Stock. I rooted fully. Rootchecker says im fine, and the animation works, but no sound
What I have found that works is you have to have the folders within bootanimation.zip set up the same way as the stock one: android, progress and VZW. I haven't look that far into but it seems like the boot sound is triggered when a certain folder is started. If this is so, replacing the boot animation with another one that isn't structured the same and renaming the mp3 to FinalThunder won't work.
Like, wat do you mean? only thing i got is the bootanimation.zip and FinalThunder.mp3, and its int he same place, as in /system/customize/resource/

There's a folder structure inside bootanimation.zip. I'm not talking about where the zip file stored on the phone. More than like the Call of Duty zip has two folders in it, android and part2. Link me to where you got the boot animation and I'll fix it for you.

Looking inside them both, stock bootanim has no folders. But the COD one does. As for the audio, FinaltHUNDER works but cod-finalthunder wont. (no, i didnt name it that lol)
As i said before, the boot animation works PERFECTLY, just the audio is not working

Also, could you maybe tell me what you did? I really want to learn. I have some others i'd like to get working, as well as some ideas I am building with some friends. They know the stuff, but they are in classes and doing finals..I don't have the luxury of college.
Also, is there a way i can adb into my phone and auto-achieve r/w on my system folder? Right now, i have to use RootExplorer and mount as R/W since adb always tells me "unable to push, blah blah, read only filesystem"

All I did was set the folder structure the same way the stock one is, with android, progress and VZW and made sure desc.txt was formatted properly.
If you are using adb, instead of using Root Explorer to mount system, try command
Code:
adb shell sysrw
Of course this command all depends on how the ROM is set up that you are using.
So, say im using a new bootanimation. Copy/pasta the desc text file, and make sure the structure inside is the same way?
adb shell sysrw says permission denied. im using rooted stock.

Simple break down: android folder contains the first image of the boot animation; the one some people thinks is a second splash screen. VZW folder contains the actually boot animation images and progress is the last image display at the phone is booting. Place your boot animation images in these folders accordingly. I would suggest just putting a plain black image in the android folder and name the image the same as the stock "second splash" screen.
Use the desc.txt file from the boot that I sent you. The only thing you will need to change is the frame rate to make it work with other boot animations. So if a boot is supposed to be displayed at 10 fps, change the 30 to 10 and save.
Once you have everything the way you want it, zip all three folders and desc.txt using the store, or no compression, option. Now you are ready to go. Like you mentioned earlier, you may need to edit FinalThunder.mp3 to make it sync correctly.
About adb sysrw command; stock RUU is not up for that command. Not sure what the syntax would be for stock root or if you can even mount the system as R/W through adb.
dont think i can. and i thnk i gotta lower the fps a little ont he animation

Did you open it from within the zip file and save it? If so, when you saved it, the zip was updated and probably changed the compression ratio to the default of whatever program you are using.

The boot animation I want is attached.... I'm on 4.1.83 and no changes
I can't post the mp3 unfortunately
ok, so I don't know if this is the "exact" same one that you used in the /system/media folder because it was missing the sound command in the desc.txt
I modified the desc.txt and this is what it says;
540 960 15
p 1 0 part0
s tranquility.mp3
p 0 0 part1
Make sure the .mp3 says tranquility.mp3
Also, whenever you add sound make sure it's a lowercase "s" and not "S".
If you do modify anything in the bootanimation.zip always unzip the files then re-zip after you modify the contents using these steps.
-Highlight all three files, "Part0, Part1 & desc.txt"
-Right-click and select "Add to archive..."
-Under Archive format select ZIP
-Under compressed method select "Store" from the drop down menu
If you modify anything without unzipping and save the contents, then you mess with the "store" setting that is required for the bootanimation.zip to be recognized by the phone.
I tested this, not with that particular .mp3 but one of my own, and it works just fine. Hope this works for you. [attached bootanimation.zip]
EDIT: MAKE SURE YOUR MEDIA VOLUME IS ALL THE WAY UP IN ORDER TO HEAR THE SOUND AT BOOT

If you did not change a thing then that is why your sound is not working. If you follow those steps I outlined above and add the "s" command then it should work. If you would like, upload the bootanimation.zip that you are using and I will see if there is anything wrong.

Man, it already has the commands correctly. It was working just fine on 1.83, after the update to 4.5.91 the sound is no longer working, and the animation is like twice as fast... files untouched.

Well I never went to the official 4.5.91 only the flashable HKTW and The boot did not work at all. So I deleted both the sound file and bootanimation.zip and pushed both the .zip and sound back in /sytstem/media then it worked just fine. Maybe refreshing the files might work like it did for me but can't say for sure as I never went to the official OTA because of the issues that are occurring right now
EDIT: also if it is going twice as fast maybe you should try just taking a look at the desc.txt and seeing if "somehow" the frame rate was changed. Who knows, but I would double check everything.

If you do modify anything in the bootanimation.zip always unzip the files then re-zip after you modify the contents using these steps.
-Highlight all three files, "Part0, Part1 & desc.txt"
-Right-click and select "Add to archive..."
-Under Archive format select ZIP
-Under compressed method select "Store" from the drop down menu
If you modify anything without unzipping and save the contents, then you mess with the "store" setting that is required for the bootanimation.zip to be recognized by the phone.
I tested this, not with that particular .mp3 but one of my own, and it works just fine. Hope this works for you. [attached bootanimation.zip]
EDIT: MAKE SURE YOUR MEDIA VOLUME IS ALL THE WAY UP IN ORDER TO HEAR THE SOUND AT BOOT

Man, it already has the commands correctly. It was working just fine on 1.83, after the update to 4.5.91 the sound is no longer working, and the animation is like twice as fast... files untouched.

I believe the audio has a different file location for 4.5.91. Looking at it where right now myself for another animation.
can someone please help me out here. i want to get rid of the god awful boot animation on the new ics leak. i have tried to copy over the one that's there now and it wont allow me to. i have also tried to delete it and that doesn't work either. any help would be greatly appreciated.
System/customize/resource
Drop it in there and make sure it is named TMOUS_bootanimation and you will be all set
Oh I think there is an audio file for the annoying ass TMO jingle. Kill that too.

No problem I HATE that damn boot noise so I looked into this yesterday.
What is the best way to get in there and change the files around? I downloaded Android Commander on to my computer and even though it lets me downloads files to my PC, it won't let me do anything to the android system files because it says I need root, even though I do in fact have root.

Download to SD. Then I use root explorer. PM me your email. I got some goodies for you.
ok i am able to change the boot animation and got rid of the t mobile jingle. now i want to add my own audio file during the boot animation. what do i need to name the file to work properly. i named it just like the t mobile jingle sound but that didnt work. any help would be greatly appreciated
The T-Jingle is just a ringtone, the bootup sound is named ruby_something, I don't remember what exactly off the top of my head, but it is a .wav file.
If I am going to put my own boot animation in here, can I just find a GIF of the appropriate dimensions and rename it .zip, or do I have to take each frame and convert it to a .png and put it in a zip file the same way that the default boot animation is?

no actually T-Jingle is the sound that was used on the original boot animation. as soon as i got rid of it that jingle did not sound when i loaded up the boot animation. i know the .wav file you speak of though. but if that was the boot animation sound why wouldn't it sound now with my new boot animation. there has to be some way to associate the new boot animation with what ever sound file when the phone boots up. as far as creating your own boot animation there are a lot of tutorials on this site. within the boot animation zip file there is a text file that basically tells the screen resolution and how as well as the frame rate and how the file should work. you should dl any boot animation and look at the desc.txt file. that will give you a little of an idea of how it all works.

Weird, on my phone T-Jingle.ogg is just a 3 second clip of the T-Mobile jingle ringtone sound, the one that plays on my phone at startup was ruby_something.wav, which is much longer and has the sort of rocket blast sound at the beginning and then a prolonged T-Mobile jingle.

I will open up the default boot animation and see what's doing. It is kind of confusing though because in the zip file is all of the .png files for the animation, but then there is another .zip file that has the exact same thing in it.

they both might be involved with the boot animation but as soon as i removed the t-jungle.ogg there was no sound at all when the boot animation. i will try messing with the other sound and see what happend

not quite sure about that. i just know that i was able to take a boot animation from another phone and edit the desc.txt file to the proper screen resolution to get it to work. like i had mentioned if you do a search on the site there are quite a few tutorials on how to create the boot animations. good luck

answered above in your quote
sorry for bringing up a fairly old thread, but this is exactly what i was looking for.
so i was able to change back to the stock boot animation as OP said, but I DO want the original sound to it, right now there is no sound. what is the file called and where is it located? i found the file in a t-mobile bloater zip from another thread, just no idea where it goes and what it should be called.

Im also looking for the answer, where does the sound file go?
Did any of you read anything I posted? The wav file I posted is the default boot sound.

Ithink you quickly answered without knowing what i and last poster asked, where in the boot animation zip does the sound file go, the link you gave me has the sound file seperate from the bootanimation zip.
I read every post in this thread and my question is not answered.

Did you even look at the link I posted in your thread? If you did, then you wouldn't be looking to put the sound file in the bootanimation, but instead put it in the required folder, that's why I linked to a tutorial, it is there for a reason.
Hi!
Recently I have created my own boot animation.
However, for some reason it isnt working.
I am sure I put it in the right folder because when I put another animation in, it works. So I am guessing that there is something wrong with the zip file i made.
Its not perfect but you can download it in the attachment.
Please help me figure out the problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
are you getting just a black screen?
unzip your file, open the desc.txt file
add a carriage return after "p0 0 part0"
rezip the files, make sure to set the compression level to "store"
place bootanimation.zip file in data/local folder
reboot and let me know if it works
What did you use to zip up your files? Make sure you use uncompressed. 7-zip doesn't seem to work for some reason btw.
i only use 7zip when making bootanimations. the "Store" compression level is the way to go. if you compress at any level, the ba may not work.

how does it not work?
do you get the beginning of the animation then nothing? does it just show the samsung logo then black screen then the phone boots? does the phone boot at all?
when i get back from my ride, i'll load it on mine and see what the deal it.
Thanks guys!!!
Everything works now.
I used 7z and set it to store.
I also added a carriage return as shown here
