Boot Animations for the Note - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

I don't see alot of boot animations for the Note, aside from the ICS version. I figured I'd pull some tablet bootanims that look good on our Notes from Rom Toolbox. Since the Rom Toolbox changer doesn't actually work right with our device anyway.
Stating the obvious...you need root using either the DaG or holonote kernel(not the original mashi root, but roloracer method is good) and a file manager with r/w rights enabled.
To install on the AT&T I-717 (I can't be sure of the Rogers, Bell boot anim file name and location)
1) Download the file you want.
2) Make a copy of the file (or use the original if you don't care to keep a named copy) and rename it to sanim.zip.
3) Make sure you're mounted as r/w in your file manager
4) Place the sanim.zip file in /system/media. That's it.
5) Reboot and you should see it.
6) To return to the boot animation you had cooked into your rom or kernel, just delete sanim.zip and reboot.

Thanks for this. Great stuff. One complaint tho: the ice animation doesn't seem to be a true black background & doesn't utilize the amoled screen. Its sort of gray and looks like a picture in picture video. Is there a fix? Otherwise solid stuff here.

I followed your instructions, with no joy.
After I placed the file in \system\media
I renamed it to sanim.zip and the set R/O on the media directory.
Rebooted but still see's the Rethink stupid ATT Globe.
I guess I need a cooked ROM to make this work, was going to hold off a bit on running a rom other then stock for a few more months, and let them get a bit more mature.
Thanks anyways, I will keep this for future use.

I'm on stock ROM and it's working for me. How are you rooted, da_g or mashi?

I believe you have to have a kernel that supports it. I don't think just having root access is enough. That's why I asked which root method he used. He mentioned the fact that he still had the stock boot animation, so that leads me to believe that he used mashi's method and kept the stock kernel. Using da_g or holonote kernel, should resolve his issue as a different boot animation is used there. Hope this helps. I'm still an Android noob, so please correct me if I'm wrong.

No, I think you're totally right here.

Any way to change the boot splash screen? (im on sauram)

---

The Samsung splash screen is actually 2 images. From what I remember, the first one is easy to replace, but the glowing one requires some ADB commands. Not positive of this, but I think so. I'm sure there are threads dedicated to it, search and you will find.

Mashi is what I used.

Thanks! Worked just fine!
I like the Grey Countdown animation very much~

Hrmm, must be doing something wrong, I am on Holonet kernel but I just see the standard Android word animation, I'm rooted using Da_G's original method running ROM Saurom RC4.
I downloaded the ICS zip someone posted here, mounted system/media with R/W and copied the sanim.zip file into that folder. Just tried the same with the countdown anim from the OP and the same result.
Odd

Worked perfectly, thanks for the boots......
