I don't recall any threads on this, but the kernels like overstock and tigers blood do... Perhaps pm them?
THERE is a way.
You can change it to whatever picture you want.
Its a bit advanced but theres a program for it.
I'll give when I get back from school.

Thanks can't wait to try

There are 2 splash images. One hard coded into the kernel (only changeable through kernel source then recompiling the kernel) and the splash image located in the param.lfs partition.
So changing the param.lfs splash image won't get rid of the kernel splash image.

Change it to what? Do you want to make your own splash screen or just use one from another ROM that you liked?
If its using one from another ROM...its easy....
Download RootExplorer.
Open it and go to the "system" folder. then look for the "/media" file (/system/media) then look for the file called "bootanimation.zip"
That is the boot splash screen file.
If you want one from another ROM.
USE YOUR COMPUTER and open the ROM.zip file you want (bionix1.3.1.zip or sweethoney25.zip) could be any ROM.
Now navigate to the same folder "system\media" and copy the "bootanimation.zip" to you desktop.
Now plug your phone to your computer and copy the bootanimation.zip to your phone....anywhere is good just remember where you put it.
Now unplug your phone and open RootExplorer. Find the "bootanimation.zip" you just copied to your phone and long press it.
Choose the "move" option.
Now go to the "system\media" folder....long press the bootanimation.zip in that folder and choose "delete"...now paste the other bootanimation.zip into this folder.
Reboot!
Viola...you have your bootanimation.
If you want the stock Galaxy bootanimation...just use Rootexplorer and delete the file "bootanimation.zip" from the "system\media" folder and reboot! (this option only works if you see two different files in the folder named samsungboot.qmg and samsungbootloop.qmg...as those are the files for stock bootanimation)
::if this helps feel free to thank me""
Not the bootanimation the splash image at the begining I know how to change bootanimations. The image before the bootanimation. On htc phones you can change that along with the boot

Sorry guys, I know how to fix it, and change it to any image wanted...
I saw a video on it and tried on my phone and worked while on 2.2
The video is on mobile tech videos or something, but you need to go to their website for software and everything.
I haven't been to a computer in 4 days ,its broken, so I'll try to post link when I can.
Great Info Thank You
Here is a youtube link. The video states only for i9000, but the website has files for the t959 (vibrant) and the process is the same. I have successfully used this method. On my vibrant. Also attached is the image I flashed if you want it.

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.

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!

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.

So I am very new to all this and just recently rooted my Vibrant with the ClockWork Rom and saw that I am able to upload new boot images instead of the Galaxy S logo.
I am not very artistic and was wondering if anyone would be able to throw one together for me using a hockey team logo or combination of logos. I will even reimburse!
Not sure if this is do able or if someone is willing to do this, but thought I would ask.
PM me with the team(s) you would like and I'll see what I can do.
check it! hokey boot up i made .

Mine has a samsung logo but its custom and hokey anyway sounds like it is differant than your looking for.

Sorry I didn't get back sooner. The download is flashable through clockwork recovery. But if you already extracted the bootanimation.zip from the package and placed it in the /system/media folder make sure you set permissions to rw-r--r-- otherwise I would just flash the original package

I think the rom I am using isn't going to let me do this. I tried downloading the sons of skywalker ROM through ROM manager but after I click on it to download it takes me to a screen that doesn't come up with anything on it. I wait and nothing. Not sure where to find it to flash it when I boot through recovery. I tried downloading Axura and it doesn't save the file as a .zip on my computer. It extracts it and the only zip I can find is the update.zip. Do I go through recovery and install this file?
I don't know if it is the fact I am using a MacBook but just trying to alter some stuff on my phone with no luck.
I did the install in regards to the BootAnimations.zip and it didn't work, so thinking the rom wont let me.
I know this is probably not the right place to post this, but I am trying to figure out how to install a boot animation on my vibrant. I have cm7 installed and found a forum that helped but all I get is a black screen or the plain android logo. I used super manager and moved the zip file to /system/media. And set the permissions to what it told me to. When I reboot nothing. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated. I have become quite savvy with my phone. Thanks.

You didn't exactly say this but, is the file named simply bootanimation.zip? Not talking down but trying to help. Other than that seems good.
The original file was named bootanimation.zip and I found a transformers one that I wanted and it was named bootanimation_transformers.zip. I tried leaving the file name, got the android logo. Renamed it and got a black screen.

search the Vibrant forum on custom boot animations... download a flashable zip boot animation file from one of the great devs on here then swap your images in place of theirs, re-zip it and flash it with CWM... worked for me like a charm!
One question, how do I replace images? Super manager won't let me unzip files. Do I need to use the PC for that or is there a simpler way?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
My vote goes to PC
I used PC for everything as well...
Unzipped and re-zipped with 7zip and modded images with Gimp...
Thanks, I will give that a try when I get home and let you if it worked. Just to maybe clarify. Would I have to unzip both the original file and the new file and replace the new files with the original file and rezip and put back? Cause that is what I am going to try.

Hey everyone, I'm posting this so you all can see if Bootanimations work on the nook tablet *aside from that abysmal stock animation* so let's move on, shall we?
Instructions:
What you need to do is just download,rename to bootanimation.zip and push to /data/local/
you can do this by either using adb
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/
or by using a file explorer.
Bootanimation
There are 2 choices.
Code:
Thundercats
Transformers (decepticon)

Added a second bootanimation to the thread.
I tried, but no luck. A couple things i noticed. One, my bootanimation file lives in /system/bin, second, i'm not sure how to match the permissions. The original file's permissions are rwxr-xr-x, third(ly) i also tried dropping the .zip extension as it's not on the original file.
Let me know what i'm doing wrong, or anything else you'd like me to try. Thanks indirect, for all your work!

WHATEVER YOU DO DO NOT TOUCH THE bootanimation Binary File in /system/bin!!! This is the Executable that RUNS a boot animation.... copy over that file and boot animations will cease to function until it is restored to the original file.
Yeah, i realized what it was after some experimenting. So i restored it, and tried indirect's instructions exactly, but no luck.

You know on my phone, the location of the bootanimation.zip is in the /system/media folder. Maybe try dropping it there?

Hi, is there a way to turn off boot animation...I it takes about 5 minutes for my nook tablet to load...kind of annoying when you need to do something quickly.

I have the ROM toolbox app which has the ability to automatically change the boot animation, but I am not sure if I can use the application without messing up the tablet.

The 5 minute bootup is not affected by the bootanimation at all. The boot animation actually completes fairly early, and becomes a static image until the end of the bootup.
Also, the Nook Tablet uses a special /system/bin/bootanimation which, while recognizing custom bootanimations, fails to actually draw them to the screen. Thus, you end up with a black screen for those ~5 minutes while the boot process is going. It took me a long time to realize that I hadn't bricked my nook to figure that out.
The only bootanimation that works is stored in the /system/framework/framework-res.apk file, which can be tricky to modify, and update correctly. The snowball-mod root that I wrote has a custom bootanimation, but that's just more a side effect of fixing the white-on-white problem, (if you've already hacked one PNG in the file, hacking a few more isn't particularly hard.)
Oh ok thank you for the info. I appreciate it

You have to change the animation in framework-res.apk since that's where B&N use theirs. The normal android way won't work here.

If you extract the nightly with 7-zip, it's in the root of the created folder as moboot.splash.CyanogenMod.tga. Is that the one you are talking about?

That is exactly what I was looking for! What did you use to convert to png? And can I use it to convert to tga as well?
I used Paint.Net to convert to PNG, but I don't think it can convert back. The only thing I know for sure that can outup TGA is Illustrator.

I appreciate it! I ended up finding this site that will convert back and forth between a bunch of different file types. I'm going to try to make my own splash next week after I study for the three exams I have on Monday and Tuesday. Thanks for all your help though! Good looking out!

If you have a mac, Pixelmator can convert any file format to TGA.
EDIT: I don't believe that file is the cyanogen mod loading thing. If you look at this thread I made: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598427 you can see that the moboot.splash.CyanogenMod.tga actually controls the static boot image that displays after the loading, and before the animated boot animation. In cyanogenmod both images are the same, back to back, but in other roms, they are different. In other words, changing that file only gets rid of one part of the Loading splash. I believe that the other is coded into the kernel or something like that, similar to the splashes that appear on phones that tell you the name of the phone.

Go to Plugins on the Paint.NET page and download the package. Then you can create tga files as well.
But if you change the moboot.splash.CyanogenMod you will still have a cyanogen picture with loading letters.

It has to be in the uimage. Notice that if you have both aokp and CM9 uimage files in /boot, depending on which one you click, it at first shows the appropriate logo. So, part 1 in in the umiage and the 2nd part is the .tga file. Then the boot animation.
