It it possible to replace the boot animation / video with just a Samsung logo or something equally discreet? I just find it annoying. Have already turned off the sound by replacing that file with a silent one.
Thanks!
Edit: the title was naturally supposed to say "animation". Sorry about that.
Yes use the search button and or look in Themes section .

Yes, you will need the CF-Root kernel and put a Bootanimation.zip where it is asked to put in the CF-root thread in the dev section

use root explorer - and simple exchange the zip file in system media - its called bootanimation.zip - u can find many of them here on XDA. its very easy...

Great thanks, renamed to .bak and the boot animation is gone. Also did the same to the startup animation.

Can't see any file called bootanimation.zip, just the twp qmg files as per above. Ideally I'd like to have static pictue (a glowing outline of an Android, to be very specific, but I'll see what I can find) as the screen is just black now that I've renamed the two files.

That would be for custom animation .
I have Android astronaut boot with opening bars of Like a Rolling Stone as boot .

Aha, easy enough. I've settled for a static glowing Android from this thread, specifically the AndroidParticles2 animation (which is very nice in its own right) where I just deleted all but one of the images. Now it just lookes like this, stylish and minimalist which is just how I like it.
Thanks for the help!

Samsung doesn't have a bootanimation.zip, instead all I see is bootsamsung.qmg, so how do you go about changing the bootanimation?

Search or read the bootanimation posts in themes section re bootanimation zips .

I will have to get root explorer, as the two files that you up loaded in another post didn't work for me after writing over the system media qmd files with File Expert...or try a different kernel or rom as all the bootanimation zips haven't been flashing on CFkernelKF2 for me either.
Edit:
Used a free market app: Boot Animation Changer LITE, and it worked.
I'd love to be able to use the stock boot animation again after flashing roms.

Just to clarify, this would be for the 2.3.4. firmware
if you can't wait, download a stock zip and find the file in /system/media/bootanimation.zip

Wht's funny is that Moto didn't even bother to add the audio file to the system/media/audio/notification folder. It is still as 2.2.2.
This just goes to show how lazy they are when they can't even update this simple thing. It may be a very minor detail, but it's the small details that make the difference.
OP, if you use the boot animation from the GB ROM and you want the boot animation audio, move att_power_opt.ogg to system/media/audio/notifications.

Maybe Motorola realized that the att_power_opt.ogg is annoying. And maybe opt stands for optional?

Yeah, guess it's optional since you need root and a file manager like Root Explorer to move it? If Moto wanted to make it optional to the general public, there would be an "option" to use it or not.

Ah ok, sorry still new to this, had to get root explorer to get access to that part of my phone.
it works, but it doesn't repeat the animation. How would I make it repeat that? Also, any possible way to add unlocked to the boot animation so it doesn't just disappear when it boots?
You will need to set permissions!
See the original file on your /system/media dir...

I've tried following instructions for replacing the boot animation that say to go to system\media and replace bootanimation.zip. This doesn't seem to do anything. First, I don't have a bootanimation.zip file in that directory, just qmg files. And when I put bootanimation.zip in that file it has no effect.
Is there something I'm missing? I'm rooted, running the stock rom.

I believe you need a kernel which supports custom bootanimations. Try ChainFire's kernels on XDA.

Questions = Q&A
Bootanimation stock is QMG
To add a custom boot animation you require a kernel that supports it .
You would be far better off reading the FAQS and Guides before attempting to do stuff that may brick your phone and leave you with no warranty .
jje
meh, not worth the trouble to replace the kernel. It's strange that the four tutorials I looked at that detail how to install a custom boot animation never even mention needing anything other than root access. No mention of kernels or custom roms, etc.
Did anybody ever figure out the qmg format? I saw a couple threads on it, but they're from 2010 and never seem to get beyond decoding the file header.
No free editor found for QMG files .Though at least one modified QMG posted on XDA .

Some HDPI ones go up to 60MB but it should be enough on CM7 since there's a lot of free space in /system/

Hi,
Apologies for the dumb question but:
Can you use this method to install any bootanimation and do you need an SD card to replace bootanimation?
Thanks

Yeah, you can. You don't need a sd card, because the bootanimation is in the internal memory.
Cheers buddy.
i tried to change it yesterday and dowloaded the new bootanimation to my pc i copied it over to the phone (dragged and dropped it), but when i check the phone via es file explorer i cant see it so thought you needed an sd card in the first place.
And do i just delete the old bootanimation from my phone or do i back it up somewhere.
Will have another go tonight.
Thanks

check to make sure its not an entire update zip that you are pushing to your system media, aslong as it just consists of a desc.txt and a few parts, yeh you can push it there as described. if its an update.zip, just use it or if you want, extract the files and the smaller bootanimation.zip will be inside for you.

Awesome! Yep I think that was my mistake, i was pushing the entire update zip folder tot the phone, didnt think to extract the bootanimation.zip from it. Thanks for that mate, will have a look when i get home.

Nice! Will give it a whirl tonight mate and report back. Got a couple I have downloaded, will add this one as well. just getting into all of this customising malarky!!
well good luck with it! happy modding! and also make sure you try this one. i tried it earlier and it really is flawless.
Hiya everyone I'm really stuck and have been trying to do this for days and days I successfully rooted my phone and put Batista70_FoxHound_Zoule_Theme_Edition_3.0_By_SnakeS on it I then put a cool playstation 1 boot up animation on it but it doesn't have sound and I can't find the file to replace/rename anywhere I've tried looking for the solution for ages but each place they say to look it just isn't there has anyone had a similar problem has anyone got a solution ?
On my GB phone its PowerOn.wav in /etc
You'll need something like Root Explorer to find it.
where is the sound file?
Hey man I checked there but it's not there when I installed the custom do you think it moved it somewhere random?
Location system/etc
POWERON .WAV GB
POWERON.OGG ICS
Bootanimation.zip ( not sound) is system/media
jje
oh where oh is the boot sound file?
It's not there.

Then their is NO boot sound with that rom its that simple .
You put on animation but you did not put on a bootsound .
jje
where is the sound file?
ok so what would I have to do to get a boot sound on?
The answer is above - assuming the ROM effort you use will look for it.
As jje stated, in ICS you need a sound file and titled Poweron.ogg in system/etc
Most people delete the effing thing...
