totally made a post about this in the section for the i9300 (totally wasn't paying attention) so I'm making this a duplicate in the correct section (yay!!!)
can someone point me in the direction of a working tutorial on how to change a boot animation for a galaxy s device? I've tried searching around and replacing the bootanimation.zip didn't work. *also didn't work with the vibrant or the gs2 either with stock kernel/roms* I know Samsung uses proprietary .qmg boot images with like three parts to them etc.
basically. how do I/ where can I find information about changing my boot animation?
technically I have gotten 2 replies to the previous post, and am aware that "bootanimation.zip requires a kernel that supports boot animation zip"
and that this *might* be able to be done outside of the kernel, but you still need to hack a file.
Also, any ideas as to why "bootanimation.zip" is included in stock roms for galaxy s devices if they don't use them?

wat worked for me...
Put bootanimation.zip in system/media. Go to system/bin, rename or delete samsungani and rename bootanimation to samsungani.

so basically make two copies of the new bootanimation.zip
one replacing the original bootanimation.zip in system/media
and the other being renamed to samsungani and replacing the original samsungani in system/bin
right?

No you want to put 'bootanimation.zip' in system/media. Then navigate to system/bin where you'll find two files named samsungani and bootanimation w/ no extension. Delete samsungani and rename bootanimation to samsungani.

extremely glad I made a nandroid backup.
technically that worked though, however it flashed the splash screen, showed the new boot animation (yay) then continued load haptic and back lighting for the buttons, heard the damn t-mobile sound, and then the boot continued to loop. could press the power button and screen off, press again, screen on, still playing the boot animation.
is there something else special I need to do?

Open the bootanimation.zip and then open the desc.txt fIle and change the numbers that come comes after the letter p to something other than 0..example . 720 1280 10
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1 to
720 1280 10
p 1 0 part0
p 7 0 part1 0 is infinite
********************
1024 600 24
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1

was original
I want to be more like
********************
1024 600 24

good news. 7 seconds of boot animation and back. here's a question. I want the nexus 7 boot animation. the one I've got isn't right dimensions

that's the one I'm editing now. how to get it fullscreen and rotated correctly. or is it probably just easier creating a new one

Going to apply as mine to confirm but I think u need to swap three dimensions. Assuming this was for a tablet or something?

Hello!
I've made my first boot animation for my phone (atrix 4G)... But I still have a few problems. Maybe someone can help me?
First, when the phone is booting, my animation is displayed but only for a few second (maybe 2 or 3) before a black screen appears until the phone ended to boot (about 15/20 sec.). What I don't understand, is that the animation is normally during about 12 sec... First mistery!
The second one is that no sound is playing during the animation... But I put a .ogg file in system/media folder and entered the command line in the desc.txt file with the right name.
Here is what I have in my desc file:
540 960 25
p 0 0 JM
s JM.ogg
I don't understand where is the problem...
Thanks a lot if someone has an idea.. And sorry for my aproximative english!

For Gingerbread, the sound file has to be in /system/media/notifications

could you post the zip? I don't see anything wrong with it, other than the previously mentioned fix for the sound, maybe I could find the problem with a more hands on approach
I have had problems in the past when using upper case to name folders and audio files with boot animations. Never knew why I would have issues, but I always use lower case for everything now just as a matter of course. Also, as previously mentioned, you need to change the location of your audio file.
It may also be because you have only one animations folder. I have done a lot of boot animations, and always have a part0 and part1 folder and haven't had problems.
540 960 25
p 1 0 jm

p 0 0 jm2
How are you zipping the boot animations?
Should be using 7-Zip with format set to zip, and compression level set to store.
First of all, thanks for the sound fix, it just works great in the right folder...

I tried to create two folders... Same issue...
My file is zipping with winrar, using "simple storage" mode. But if there were a problem with the zipping, I think the bootanimation shouldn't work at all. Mine is working... But for a few seconds only!

AFAIK the folders names that contain the main animation and the looping part must be named "part0" for main animation and "part1" for the loop. So not "JM" and "JM0" but "part0" and "part1". But I think your desc.txt goes along with the two folder names that you had, so maybe change it like a regular desc.txt that goes along with the folder names part0 and part1.
Finally I used the original bootanimation folder from ATT and just put my images instead of the ATT's and it just work fine.
I can't understand what's the trouble with my file, but now it's working.

I don't think this is the problem because in the original bootanimation, folders are named "ATT", "ATT Freeze", "Intro"... Not Part1, Part 2...
So, I'll put the tread in solved... even if it isn't really! Thanks for your help!
Here is your bootanimation fixed and working fine. I just downloaded your animation, then changed some stuff around, rezipped with 7-Zip, and uploaded again.
Maybe looking at this will help you for the future.
Cheers!

Looks ok. A couple things that it could be are.
1. You used notepad to create or edit desc.txt (try editpad lite)
2.You used compression when you zipped everything up. Use store only.

Hi,
I just got this phone for my wife and the splash screen after the bootanimation is of the network operator. I was wondering how I can replace this splash screen with a personalized one or remove it altogether if I cant change it myself.
I looked around but couldn't find anything 100% for this phone.
The device is already rooted and i figured with was as simple as replacing a file in system or something but couldn't find it anywhere
Thanks for any assistance

Why do you need to change it lol. Leave your wifes phone alone. it's not like you switch your phone on and off phone 24/7
Ask us any Android Related Question @FeraLabsDevs on Twitter
After you pull the bootanimation.zip from /system/media, you can just open the zip file, and edit the desc.txt file.
ie - Mine looks like this -
# 540 wide, 960 tall 15 frames per second
540 960 15
# intro
p 1 15 intro
# fade
p 1 0 fade
# mobility
p 4 0 mobility
# rogers
p 0 0 rogers
and I can just change "p 0 0 rogers" (carrier) to "#p 0 0 rogers" (no quotes) and it blocks that boot animation part from running.
Or you could go into the folder that's named in the last Part, and edit the pic to be whatever you want.
After switching everything you want, push it back to /system/media

What exactly is the problem you're having? If it's a problem with looping the animation forever... some phones have problems with infinite loop setting in the desc.txt. Need to loop it only a few or 1 time.
Its just black, no animation.. Could you tell me what my desc.txt should be if I have 10 jpgs?
One that I made for myself looks like this; it has 57 images in the VZW folder, but you can adjust accordingly:
Code:
720 1280 15
p 1 15 android
p 1 15 beats
p 1 90 VZW

Edit the last line. There isn't a 57 in there; I was just stating the boot animation that I made had 57 images in the folder whereas yours has 10.
Okay Ill give it a try. Thank you for your help!

Change the first line (resolution) to what I have.
the part0 and part1 are what your folder names are. Change that to what you named your folder(s).
Also, for the last folder (where you have your main animation), sometimes setting the loop to 0 (infinite loop till it loads), causes the animation to not work (go black), like I said before. Try setting the first number on the last line to 1, and change the last # to 90.
Make sure that the compression level for the zip file is set to "store" for each folder and all images inside the folders. May be easier to create a new zip.
Edit: Fixed it for you. You can play around with the speed by adjusting the numbers in the desc.txt. The 5 is frames per second.
I recently tried out boot animation editing on my ufeel prime. when i download pre made bootanimation.zip files or from other phones they work fine. I tried making my own but it just gets stuck on the splash screen and the phone goes on after a longer time than normal.
By the way i can't seem to find out how to add attachments.
haha i wanted to post a drive link but apparently i cant
here is desc.txt
1080 1920 30
p 1 0 part0

part0 folder only contains an image wich is named 00000.png
Most common mistake when bootanimation zip don't work is that the zip is made with compression instead of "store" option.
It doesn't work with compressed zip.
