Ccampos784 or anyone else,
Does anyone know if the EH09 Voodoo Kernel Ccampos784 just put out is compatible with boot animations? I've tried everything I can think of:
- nothing in data/local
- flashed in both CWM 2.5 & 3
- renamed both "bootsamsung.qmg &bootsamsungloop.qmg"
- manually put bootanimation.zip into system/media folder
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Matt
Good question as I would like to know this aswell. Really would like to use the blue droid eye that I had on pwed05 if possible?

So i got this bad-azz boot sound with Linda's voice that i wanna add with my custom Matrix boot animation...but i can't get it to play....i know it must be named PowerOn.wav....its been properly converted to wav with Audacity....i know it goes in /system/etc and when i reboot i hear nothing.....can anyone shed some light on my issue? I'm running Nero V3 /w Voodoo 5.0.4
EDIT: NVM...found out that Voodoo kernels don't support boot sounds...
This also happened to me in Nero but with bootanimation.zip won't play, I tried to delete the file then copy over the new bootanimation.zip.. still it wouldn't play.. the last thing I did is changed the permission to rw-r-r using Super Manager, and after that my custom animation worked.. I'm not sure about sound though..
I have been looking for the last couple days for this...
I want to simply flash a Kernel that will allow me to load my custom "bootanimation.zip" file into system/media and it show on boot-up. The catch is, I don't care to do this by flashing a custom ROM. Don't get me wrong, I really like some of the ROM's that these guys have created, I just don't want to go crazy with them. I want to make my own mix of greatness!
I did the update over Kies Mini, but then flashed the deodexed KA7 stock ROM from the Bible (In development). So it's the stock kernel that came with the KA7 build that I'm running.
I need to know what Kernel is compatible with the KA7 ROM
OR
how do i modify the system myself to make it work with custom bootanimation.zip files??
Any help is appreciated!!!

you can use any 2.2. kernel (most, if not all, support bootanimation.zip) with any 2.2 firmware/ROM. just keep a heads up because a lot of kernels flash their own modem. So if you flash a kernel that flashes a modem besides KA7, you would have to reflash KA7 manually if you want to keep it.
I would PERSONALLY recommend Eugene's Dead Horse kernel....just read before you flash!!!

I've flashed the deodexed KB1 ROM as well as the new KB1 Kernel + Voodoo by supercurio. I have his kernel specifically because it says in the main post "Also supported: custom boot animation, init.d scripts and an improved adb shell (new!)"
I love voodoo... but that's beside the point!
I've copied my bootanimation.zip folder (zipped using store mode, uncompressed) into the system/media folder on my phone and deleted the two samsungbootloop files in there. The damn thing still doesn't play the animation! I only have a 'part0' folder which houses all images labeled 'welcomanimation_0000' with progressing numbering. Permissions set are RWXRWXRW- as they are on most the custom ROM bootanimations I see around.
My 'desc' file has EXACTLY THIS in it:
480 800 30
p 0 0 part0
which was pulled straight from another ROM's bootanimation files!
I don't get it! What in the world am I missing??
It's irritating seeing all of these great boot animations and I can't get my own one working... anyone know what I'm screwing up?
Edit: I'm going to try flashing a custom bootanimation file and simply replacing their file with my file and see if there is something in their script in the flashing process that get's modified that I'm not doing myself through root explorer. Respond and let me know if that is a bad idea... I plan on trying it in about an hour after getting some crap done around the house.
Well... for anyone else that has had this issue...
Downloading an already packaged bootanimation file from one of these lovely moders... replacing their bootanimation.zip file in the media folder and packaging it all back up in a flashable zip folder worked like a charm! Thank you to whomever it was I took the file from... if I knew how to package a file to be flashable, I probably would have done it myself, but I didn't want to go through the hassle of learning.
Problem Solved!
I know you guys have seen this on the Nexus S or DX running 2.3. It's the screen-off animation that looks like an old style TV turning off. This is it on the Nexus, but my brother has in on his DX running 2.3.

Any way I can get this on my 2.2 SF???? I want it bad!
Man I've been wanting that for a while now.
The SteelBlue Midnight theme that Bigloof ported to the fascinate has it in version 1.5. I think you can pull it from the zip using root explorer but don't know which folder to put it in.

the shutdown animation can be placed in /system/media/video
In there is a folder called shutdown with the .png's (named shutdown_1, shutdown_2, and so on - not a zip file like a boot animation) and a shutdown.cfg file.
Since I like that shutdown animation so much, I keep a media folder on my PC. Whenever I swap to a new ROM, I bring my favorite sounds and shutdown and boot animations with me.
That TV off is what I use as well, You can find it linked below, all ready to go.
Just DL the file, unzip it and place the folder in /system/media/

That's for the shutdown animation. I'm talking about when you hit the power button to go into standby mode.
for that I can be of no assistance.
I was actually just looking for a mod for that last night. From what I understand, it's not something you can port to froyo - you need to legitimately running gingerbread to have it.
My understanding is it is baked into the GB kernel

Wellllll crap. I guess we have a little while to wait then. Unless cm7 with 2.3 will be released soon......?
I'm using the newest CyanogenMod (I think) 7.1.0 on BL 1.1.
I'm trying to change the boot animation by finding the bootanimation.zip file in the media folder and replacing it with one I like better, a process I saw on androidpolice.com. It's not working--the animation is the same. The only way I've been able to change it is by using a flashable animation.
Can anyone help with tips or just telling me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
HoneyComb boot animation
I'm also very curious on how to do this right, as we're using HoneyComb on our very budget Gtab, which works amazingly well (minus the lack of hardware support/features) but as like many, the 'Boot Animation' is awful!

Step 3 looks like what I've been doing. I'll try it again anyway. Thanks.
