Can I use the boot animation as a wallpaper? - Defy Themes and Apps

Hello friends, i'm wondering if i can use the animated logo (while starting the phone) in some of the rom it has a cool animated picture, can i use it as a wallpaper for the phone?
and if it is possible..where can i find the file on the device so i can select it ?
thanx alot
have a gr8 day

you can use any moving gif image with some program from the market called
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.direxar.animgiflivewallpaper2&hl=el
or any similar program

but the bootanimation ist only a group of pictures (*.png)... so i think its not so easy to use it for livewallpaper.
bootanimation.zip shall be found in system/media or system/customize/resource/

Bootanimation is located in /system/media/ as zip file. Copy this bootanimation.zip file to your PC and extract it. You will get a few png files. Rename these png files to 1.png, 2.png, 3.png, 4.png... Copy these renamed files to SD card, for example to sdcard://mylivewp folder.
Install from market LWP Creator and in the LWP Creator set the folder path to sdcard://mylivewp.

okay, i don't know that it is so easy... thanks!

thx it's really cool

i've just fund an app, which allows you to use a bootanimation as a wallpaper...

[Q] [bootanimation][request] HTC quietly rooted

Can anyone port this bootanimation for our tattoo, or explain me how to do that? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1005201
its much better than the one in nfinity rom....would be great if anyone could help!
I think that it's included in pot kitchen. You can try it.
http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/
If it isn't, maybe you'll find another one(have a lot)
They succeeded
Download the file bootanimation.zip
Extract on the desktop the two folders and the file.
Open desc.txt and change the two numbers, write 240 400
Now you have to use winzip, not winrar, to create another file called bootanimation.zip put in the two folders and files changed by choosing "let me choose the specific .." and "zip: no compression".
Any other method has failed
You can also use the original .zip file but the images are too large for the tattoo display
You can follow the instructions of the link
"If you use a custom ROM copy it in the folder data / local
If you use CyanogenMod7 ROM copy it in the folder system / media "
You can use "root explorer" or "adb"
Instructions for adb are:
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip (/data/local /...)
adb reboot
First make a backup of the rom.
sorry, I used google translate
I made edited bootanimation.zip as you say so.. But when I reboot phone I only see black screen.
sure you use winzip as described?
this issue not to use Winzip correctly.
I have redone the same procedure with the original bootanimation and works fine
if you fail to do here is the link
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WNWIQW7Z
(rename to bootanimation)
If you use some app to change bootanimaton, then you can try puish the file in / data / local
This is because Android first look in / data / local and then in / system / media
I didn't use 'no compression'.. Now it works :]
Your edited bootanimation works great.. Thanks
I edited this bootanimation for our tattoo http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=648555

Well finally i find a solution for my black custom bootscreen.
I made one personal, and was in despair because i could'nt make it appear!
I renamed each files ,changed the file type, tried to make files be a multiple of pic/sec...
Thanks to liupos i found that the winrar compression was the prob

HOW TO: Change Boot Animation

How To: Change Boot Animation
First: You need a Custom Rom Installed
Install winrar
Root your droid! (obviously?) If you need to root, download 'Universal Androot'
using a Root explorer goto the /system/media directory.
Copy bootanimation.zip to your SD Card.
Connect your droid to your computer with usb and mount the SD Card
Copy bootanimation.zip to your computer.
extract bootanimation.zip to a folder
Inside you will find 2 folders with all the individual PNG files in them.
With photoshop or paint modify the png files to add your custom graphics, OR make/download your own pictures. (Make sure they are 240x320)
Highlight the two folders and the desc file.
Right click the highlighted files.
Select add files to archive.
Select Zip check box
In the compression method drop down box select Store. (this is key if you dont do this it wont play the animation)
save the archive as bootanimation.zip
copy the new bootanimation.zip to your SD Card
Select the bootanimation.zip file from your SD Card and move it... system>media>paste
REMEMBER: Re-name the default bootloader 'bootloaderold.zip' and the new one 'bootloader.zip' This will stop confusion
Any Questions? Just ask!

[Q] miui wallpapers

Sorry if this has been asked before, but is there a seperate wallpaper storage other than the gallery for miui? I only ask because I wanted to share my current wallpaper with a buddy of mine, but the pic is not in my gallery. I've checked the zedge folder, and hd wallpaper folder. Any help would be much appreciated.
Good question. The only way would be to take the .mtz theme file itself, open it via 7-Zip, and remove the wallpaper from the "Wallpaper" folder.
If you upload the theme (.mtz file) as an attachment I'll gladly extract the wallpaper for you.
Thanks for the tip. I found the backup of my current theme, and extracted it from that. Strangely enough, when i tried with 7-zip i kept getting an error about unsupported compression type. I changed the extension from .mtz to .zip, and had no problems extracting with winrar.

a kernal with ability of bootscreen

Hello everyone
So lets get to the point.
I actually want to know of a kernal with which i will be able to change bootscreen. Ofcourse i could have found myself but there are sooooooo many kernals to test.... Its almost impossible to find one. I currently use siyah. So if anyone knows please tell me.
No kernel supports bootanimation,you have to do a small edit to rom level to get it to go..

Ok i like messing with complex things. So, what file do i need to edit?
First of all serves:
- A sd card ( to save the file)
- the files of the boot animation taken from another rom or firmware ( to put in our sd before you put it in cellular!)
- root permissions
- a file manager (type solid explorer , astro file manager etc..)
If you have done all of this then we begin opening our file manager: By 'phone' go to 'SYSTEM' and Entered in the folder 'SYSTEM' we go to the subfolder called 'MEDIA' ! In Here we will find or 2 file format called QMG bootsamsung. and QMG and bootsamsungloop. QMG , or a zip file called boot animation.zip ! Then copy the files and paste them from your phone to 'SD' . So in case we have problems conversely from there. For this to mean we go back to system and go in the folder SD CARD. in the 'SD' we stick on files ( or by creating a folder or we may put them where we want! Glued the files back to system , always in the folder " MEDIA" and we are cancelling the two original files.
In this , we return back to the sd card, leaving system and copy the two files that we have brought in sd and that we would like to put as the boot animation . Copied the files and go system / MEDIA and here paste the file! Now by clicking on file , there will be a menu' , just go to 'PERMISSION OR PERMITS ' and put the checkmark on READ WRITE-READ- READ ! And restart your mobile phone.

Ok thanks i did as you said but there is no change. The mod contains only bootanimation.zip. Please tell me a way. Here is mod forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1734434
The bootanimation is composed of two files: a .zip file that is located in system/media called its own bootanimation.zip (that and the video) and a .ogg files that is located in system/etc called PowerOn.ogg (the audio part)
Link :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1734434

P.S. Dates even a glance at google,there are many! Small piece of advice: if you read that they recommend to flash the bootanimation does not go ahead.If you follow my guide to the letter you'll never problems!
Installation procedure :
- Download the bootanimation
- if the package that you download and flash then from pc pull the archive and look for the system folder/media. Inside you will find the file bootanimation.zip , grabing it(without extracting the content) on the desktop and then copy it into the sd's internal phone.
- Always if the package is from flash, from the pc pull the archive and look for the folder system/etc and copied the file PowerOn. Ogg in sd's internal phone(in some bootanimation the sound file there is! It makes no difference)
- once you have copied these two files we have to enter with the rootexplorer in the system folder/media, rename the existing file to bootanimation.zip in bootanimation.zip.old (thus the store)and copy our new file being careful that it is appointed as well, i.e. bootanimation.zip
- if we also file PowerOn. Ogg then always with root explorer we enter in system/etc rinominiamo the existing file in PowerOn.ogg.old and copy our new file always careful that it is spelled correctly, i.e.: PowerOn. Ogg
- if we have not the audio files but what we have we don't like it then to delete just rename the file to .old -once copied files, reboot the phone, and enjoy our new bootanimation....

THanks for links.
I did as you said that is,
renamed bootanimation.zip in system/media to bootanimation.zip.old (in internal phone).
Then i put modified bootanimation.zip after extracting it from the archive i downloaded and put it into phone in system/media.
Restarted phone.... no affects! no change! its default!

if you want to put other bootanimation cel.dovete edit the info file inside the zip file.
estarete folder bootanimation
usually you will find two files
part0 folder (containing pgn files or jpg)
and the configuration file named desc
This latter open it with Notepad
you will like this:
720 1280 24
p 1 0 part0
The first line corresponds to the size with the frames per second
The second line:
P corresponds to a new command
1 corresponds to the number of how many times you want to see your bootanimation (on gs3 if you set 0, is in a continuous loop)
the next number would be zero, specifies how many frames to wait before moving on to the next command
maybe if you have different caretlle
ie part0
part1

That's what i am exactly thinking. Does omega 12 supports boot animation change? Although there is a boot animation option in kitchen but it's only for restoring original boot animation. Please help me.
*BUMP*

Wrong wrong wrong stock Samsung boot files are QMG format always .
They have no bearing upon a custom boot animation .
Custom boot animation is in a ZIP file and requires a kernel capable of running custom boot zip .

Fullscreen Matrix boot animation!!!

I was searching all over for a nice Matrix boot animation for my RAZR HD, but couldn't find a vanilla one that took up the full screen. Therefore, I decided to modify a nice one I found (credit to HaLo2FrEeEk for the original) to work on RAZR HD.
Instructions: You MUST be rooted to install this file.
1. Navigate to your system/media directory using root browser or any other browser that can view system files. There you will find a file named "bootanimation.zip".
2. Rename this file to "bootanimation1.zip" and leave it there in the folder if you wish to revert to your stock boot animation at any time.
3. Take the "Matrixbootanimation.zip" and move it into the system/media folder.
4. Rename the file to "bootanimation.zip".
5. Press/hold the file to get a menu, and select permissions.
6. Set Owner to read/write, Group to read, and others to read. Click OK.
After these steps, reboot your phone, and enjoy your shiny new animation
