[Q] Where to find bootanimation.zip in galaxy s2? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi fellaz, i really want to have custom boot animations installed on my gs2.. im using rooted stock KE7 which has no file that goes by this name i.e 'bootanimation.zip' instead, it has a file in system/media as ODEAnim.zip..
i tried replacing that with bootanimation.zip and ODEAnim.zip but im still getting the stock boot animation without any change :/ can someone please help us as there is no thread talkin specifically about galaxy s2 boot animations on a stock rom, and so far i dont think anybody even talked about any file ODEAnim.zip

I'm on a stock ROM and I've had no problem when I've put bootanimation.zip into system/media. It should just work, which would suggest there's something specific about your ROM that is stopping it.

Delete zip add a working bootanimation zip.

thanx for clearing that up.. another question, i have another kernel which is not CF-root im sure, so can the kernel be causing the animations to not work? is having CF-root kernel a must to get the animations workin?

hi... have you got the i9100 original boot animation? can you post it please?
ty

Same problem, no bootanimation.zip is system/media only ODEanim.zip
I tried replacing that with boot animation.zip and even anothe animation renaming to to ODEanim.zip but still no luck.

I've ran into that before, lots of roms actually package their bootanimation however i donno where exactly..
I've gotten other boot animation zips and flashed it using CMW and it works that way.. at least that how it got mine custom boot animation.
worth a try

Custom boot animation requires a kernel that supports it .
Zip has to be placed in system/media .

Hi,
I am on a custom rom and my "bootanimaton.zip" is well in /system/media...

Is boot animation Kernel and ROM dependent. Or just Kernel?

You can also try putting the boot animation.zip into /data/local
This is with the assumption that your rom supports custom boot animations.

[Q] Original Galaxy S boot animation

I flashed trigger 3.2 final and love it. However, I'd like to get that nice original Galaxy S boot animation like on stock. Can anyone hook me up with a download that I can flash through cwr?
But.....but.........but.....
But trigger's boot is the best one. I make sure I slap it onto every rom I run. Sorry, if I had it, id post it. Try this. Get root explorer-get odin pit or tar [whichever is 100mb ish]-copy bootanim.zip from sys/media-replace it with the one in trigger. pm me if u need details

Yup that stock "Galaxy S" bootanimation is used in a lot of ROMs, just need to find one and pull the bootanimation.zip also there is a bootanimation thread in the "Themes and apps" Forum that has a bunch of them it might be in there. Good luck!
Could you please tell me of one of those Roms with that boot animation? Because I cant find any...

Ok, looked more in depth and found a nice boot animation that comes with the "Bi-WinningV2_MultiLang_signed" ROM. Although it did not contain a "bootanimation.zip" it did contain two files as a replacement one dubbed "bootsamsung.qmg" and the other "bootsamsungloop.qmg". So, I deleted my "bootanimation.zip" replaced it with the two files and have a nice working boot animation. However, in reveiws of this ROM there is a boot animation sound to go along... my boot doesn't have a sound so I'm guessing there's a sound file for it somewhere... but my question is where?
I can't really remember and my current ROM doesn't have boot sound, but If my memory serves me correctly its in:
/system/media/audio/ui - but that could be the shutdown sound I really can't remember exactly, sorry. Good luck!

@anonymous i got a boot loop while i was applying a theme
and this was written in addictive tips
It has been brought to our attention that the following method will not work for some devices running stock ROMs because their manufacturers have made the ridiculous decisions of either using their own proprietary format for their boot animations (we’re talking about you, Samsung!), or choosing a non-standard path for the bootanimation.zip file and removing the ability to override it by copying a new one to /data/local (that would be you, HTC!).
Please confirm and can you provide a link for custom boot animation for ace ?
any bootanimation will work on any rom, but theme is different story.

are you sure it will work on odex fw ? another member told me u have to be deodexed
i'm not 100% sure, just my understanding is bootanimation doesnt have anything to do with odex/deodex. its just merely a zip file, not apks. well u can try on odex rom, just make cwm backup incase something goes wrong

[REQ] crt animation in latest stock ROM

Hey guys..
I have been trying to add crt animation on/off to my rom (Stock sense rooted deodexed, latest OTA update) for a while using the tutorial found here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/2553-dev-enabling-crt-on-off-animation-in-roms-how-to/
I have flashed the various premade enable crt animation zips found on here but because my rom is a different rom from everyone elses, apparently I have a different services.jar, so it just wont boot with it. I have tried making the changes in the smali files my own but I guess its not recompiling right. Just won't boot past the boot animation screen. If anyone could apply the changes that would be awesome! I already have the settings updated in the framework-res file.
Really guys 45 views no reply? I'll tip

Try this.
If that doesn't work try this one.
If this doesn't work then I'm not savvy enough to help. Sorry.
I tried both files, both get about as far as mine did.. only showing the boot screen animation and staying there.
BTW thank you VERY much for trying. Definitely greatful!.

You already edited the framework-res.apk file, right?
Correct. The following is in my framework-res.apk
<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">false</bool>
EDIT
Well I gave a try at editing the services.jar file again from scratch, this time the phone booted with the edits, but still no CRT animations. hmmm
try this c if it helps

That file was made by xboarder and was intended for QuikSense 1.4.1 which was a heavily modified version of stock thus may not work on a standard stock rom. Precaution is advised.

but now, I use gingerbread 2.3.6 and i can't find that file.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now i can change may boot animation. its easy dude. just download ur favorite boot animation and place it in /data/local
Sorry for any mistake, my English is not so good. After reading theese few posts i searched in my Galaxy Ace (no brand Italy; stock ROM GingerBread 2.3.6 build XWKT7) and i tried to put in data/local a custom bootanimation.zip. After that i rebooted it and there was no change. It displayed me its stock bootanimation. Where do I have made a mistake?
Thank you, J-Hope.

Well, I searched in data/local and also in system/media and I don't have any. I have .qmg files on my 2.3.6 stock ROM... If you need some screenshots just tell me. Thank you, J-Hope

first make sure that you dont have any files in media file except audio if you have others delete them and now copy any bootanimation.zip to your media file and it will work
Just copy/replace in system media And You Can Use that
So sad men, it doesn't work. The only problem is that I haven't got any bootanimation.zip to replace: I have 2 files bootanimation.qmg and samsungloop.qmg.
I've tried to move everything except audio and put a custom bootanimation.zip in system/media but it boots with a black screen and I can't see the bootanimation. Maybe it doesn't work on Italian stock 2.3.6.
Thanks for your help, again.

[Q] no bootanimation.zip

i flashed this leaked 4.2.2 rom and it gives me "hot mobile" boot animation i want to change it but then there is no bootanimation.zip file in the directory of system/media
how can i change it to one of my choice
Samsung roms use qmg files instead of bootanimation.zip
If it's rooted, it may have support for bootanimation.zip in /data/local
Otherwise there is a "how to" for making qmg animations in the general section

Flash the enable_4.2.1 file , it works on 4.2.2 also , take a backup just in case before flashing , once you ve flashed it , reboot , if u see a differentt bootanimation other than your hot mobile bootanimation , and then you can change and keep whatever bootanimations you want . :good:
P.S : If this works for you , check my signature for some super cool bootanimations !
