EDIT: BOOTANIMATION ENABLED IN CM6 0.30, Directory moved to system/media
The boot animation in CM6 floyo-0.25 by racht had been disabled.
To enable it, follow these simple steps... or Se-Lifestyle
This is the ONLY way to enable it and ONLY for ROMs which bootanimation was disabled in build.prop
Thanks deedii for confirming the boot animation's location.
(Use root explorer)
1. Edit build.prop.
Go to /system/build.prop in root explorer.
Long press the file and choose "open in text editor"
Go to the last line and u will see:
Code:
debug.sf.nobootanimation=1
change it to:
Code:
debug.sf.nobootanimation=0
Do the same for /system/bin/build.prop
Root explorer will automatically backup the files for u with the name "build.prop.bak"
Note: -You can also copy the file to sdcard, connect to pc via usb, edit in notepad, save, replace the edited one with the original one.
-Not sure the 2 files are same, for safety, do them individually.
2. Upload boot animations.
Put the bootaniamtion.zip into:
/data/local/
(!) /system/media/ will not work
(!) make sure the boot animation is correctly made.
3. Reboot and done!
About how to make boot animation:

Important notes u have to know : http://se-lifestyle.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=5947
Both build.prop's are the same. At least in MiniCM and Froyobread. I have't done any editing using Racht's ROM
Thank you for the tutorials. x0x0

i dont think it will work as the boot animation is disabled in build.prop
even build.prop editor cannot enable it, must do manually.
otherwise the app u mentioned can edit the build.prop?

im not sure. this topic is for racht's floyo 0.25 only.
Other ROMs maybe use /system/media/ directory, dont have to enable bootanimation as its not disabled.
Also you can test bootanimation in adb shell by typing this:
# cd /system/bin/
# bootanimation

the command cd /system/bin/
so the bootanimation.zip has to be in bin folder? or media folder? or data/local folder?

No it will run correct in use bootanimation so if you disable bootanimation like in your tut it will run it from /data/local/
I only get the part0 animation showing but not the part2 on floyo.025. I used 9 png images for part1. Seems that there's no time after the 3 png's in part0. Black screen and then comes the initial PIN request. Checked for .db files left in but none exist

i also face this problem, havent found the reason.
I have lost all boot animations. My phone boots up just fine with the static 'Motorola Dual Core' image. My question is, what should be the contents of the /system/media folder that houses the bootanimation.zip? I have tried installing various animations through CWM to no avail. Any ideas?
I am running 4.1.83 with the latest GladiAtrix P-ROM
Thanks!
Correct..
/system/media/bootanimation.zip
Try this one, I know it works, its just a .zip. NO CWM. rename to bootanimation.zip, place in /system/media/, reboot. If that doesn't work there is a problem.

OMG!...........Is that the file I think it is???.............The one which makes your phone explode???...............Nooooooo!.............Don't do it............!
Your /system/media folder should have a bootanimation.zip file as stated, and will have a .ogg or .mp3 file if there is any audio.
What do you have in your /system/media folder now? Is it empty?
When did you notice that you had no boot animation? Was it after flashing a new one?

Ok, using adb I copied the renamed bootanimation.zip that you linked to in the /system/media and it didn't work. I redid the GladiAtrix install too and it didn't work. In my media folder I cleared out a couple of ogg and mp3 files cluttering it up and besides the animation zip I have a folder called Audio with a few subfolders called things like ringtones and ui.
Do I maybe have the permissions set wrong? What should they be?

Those are all correct files/folders I have even replaced/renamed some of the .ogg, and I have an additional folder stored in /system/media/ where I store all my botanims. So even if you have other files/folders there it shouldnt matter.
Have you installed "live logcat" or "live dmesg" or some other kind of bootanimation app.?

You know that only happens when you place it in the /self/destruct/ folder and say "Steve Jobs" three times.

No, I don't have any other bootanimation apps or the like. I think I'm about to give up until the next sbf flash I do, probably when GB finally makes its way over.

Permissions should be RW/R/R for bootanimation.zip with no special permissions set.
Same for any audio files that accompany boot animations.

Hmm... permissions are correct. Hopefully a sbf flash will fix everything like it always does. Thanks for all your help guys!
I need help with restoring the stock Galaxy S2 boot animation.
This was what happened. I installed jrummy's Root Tools.
In my eagerness, I replaced the original boot animation without backing up!
Now when I want to undo the changes that has been done, many an online search suggested going to system/media and removing bootanimation.zip so that bootsamsung and bootsamsungloop can work their magic...
And here is where the problem is, bootanimation.zip is nowhere to be found!
I wonder if Root Tools had totally overwritten bootsamsung and bootsamsungloop.
All I want is to get back the original bootanimation sequence.
Can anyone help with this? TIA!!!
Here is the original bootanimation
Just unzip the attached zip file and copy and paste the attached bootsamsung.qmp and bootsamsungloop.qmg to system/media and you are done..
BTW is your poweron sound intact??
Thanks bro! The poweron sound is still present.
I have resolved the problem. Apparently, I have been going at it wrongly.
I had been using Astro as file manager but it didn't allow me to access data/local where bootanimations.zip was.
After I switched to RootExplorer and removed the offending file, voila!

use root explorer and copy&replace the attached bootanimation to /system/media and overrite the existing one or use Motomizer from market

it depends ....u need to have devices rooted. and make sure u make nandroid backup incase if something goes wrong
1.download root explorer from android market and go to system/framework folder and copy blur-res.apk file & paste on computer to any folder
2.dont extract blur-res & rarz icons, just open both files in winrar/zip & keep both windows open side by side
3.now in open window of blur-res.apk go to res\drawable-hdpi and keep it open
4.from open window of rarz icons just select from ic_launcher_accounts.png to ic_widget_wifi.png and pull those selected files to open window of blur-res.apk res\drawable-hdpi and replace them.
5.now u have to push modified blur-res.apk through adb back to system/framework. nd voila enjoy ur new icons ;D

Changing Icons in the Appdrawer
i have not tested this way. be sure what u do and allways make a backup of ur system !
The icons themselves are stored inside the individual apk files. You need to open each one, swap out the icon and reassemble it. It's not nearly as hard as it sounds.
1. Tools you need
7zip Download the appropriate version for your PC.
The original copy of the Fresh ROM you used to flash your phone.
The icons you want to change.
2. Create a working folder on your PC.
3. Using 7zip, open the Fresh ROM zip file. Navigate to the system/app folder inside the ROM. Highlight ALL the .apk files, and drag them into your working folder. Close the Fresh ROM zip file.
4. Decide on which icon you want to change first. I'll use the Browser as an example.
5. Use 7zip to open the Browser.apk you pulled out of the Fresh ROM. Once open, look for the res/drawable folder inside the apk.
6. Inside that folder, look for an .png file named ic_launcher_browser.png . That's the icon that the app uses.
7. Have your new icon ready. It should be 48x48 and a .png file. Make sure it's named ic_launcher_browser.png .
8. Drag the NEW icon into the open 7zip window that's showing the res/drawable folder. Choose yes if it asks you about overwriting the original file.
9. Close 7zip.
The Browser app has now been changed and will show your new icon in the drawer, and on the homescreen if you paste a shortcut. Do the same for each of the apps you want to change the icon of. The icon will always be in /res/drawable, and be named ic_launcher_ **app name**.png
Once you have changed all the icons, you'll have a set of apk files with your new icons. You can push these to the phone one by one from the terminal, or you can create your own update.zip
To push them to the phone (once again Browser.apk will be our example)
1. In your Android SDK/tools folder, make a new folder called icons.
2. Copy the Browser.apk file to the folder you just created.
3. Open the windows command prompt, and navigate to the Android SDK/tools folder. NOT the new folder you just made.
4. Enter the following commands one line at a time:
Code:
adb remount
adb push \icons\Browser.apk /system/app/Browser.apk
5. Do the same for each of the apk files you edited, changing the name Browser.apk to the name of the file you're pushing to the phone.
6. Reboot the phone.
7. done - have fun
hope this helps u

Running MIUI 2.3.9. Replaced bootanimation.zip in system/media and data/local but still shows my old animation. Anyone know of another place MIUI might hide the bootanimation.zip? Tried leaving permissions alone and changing them to match my old animation. Nothing works, just keeps showing old animation. Any help would be appreciated, really want to try this out. Thanks

Reboot

(i think that this makes it default to a completely.stock android animation, i have never been able to find where that is stored, it just shows the word "android" written in a greenish color,.slightly shimmering, i enjoy it. I usually delete the bootanimation.zip on any ROM i run just so i can have that plain one i mentioned)

Get root explorer and make sure you have root permissions. Also make sure the folder bootanimation.zip is in had RW permissions.
