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)

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*
Anyone?
im same with you, im use omega v24 galaxy s3, can't change bootanimation,as i know because in system/media, if format for file support bootanimation is .qmg ur phone cann't support bootanimation in .zip file.

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 .

I hear a lot of people wanting to put certain shutdown animations on their phone. Maybe you like the one from Bionix 1.3.1 or the one from Sweethoney series of ROMs. Well, I decided to make detailed instructions on how to put any shutdown animation on your phone you would like.
I used the TV shutdown animation and audio on mine, but I imagine this would work for taking any shutdown animation you want from any ROM and making it your own.
You can get the TV shutdown screen on any ROM...you just use your computer to open the ROM.zip (generic name could be any ROM.zip).
1. Go to "system/media" folder and find the "/video" folder and take it from any ROM that has the TV shutoffx (I think Sweethoney 2.5 has it.)
2. Copy the entire "/video" folder to your desktop.
3. Now connect your phone via USB and copy the "/video" folder to your phone memory. Not your external sd card but your phones internal memory (I made a folder on my phone called "RomsKernelsFixes" for such files) Now disconnect your phone.
4. Use RootExplorer (found in Market) and go to the file on your phone (the "/video" folder) you copied from your computer. Long press the "/video" folder. Then chose "copy".
5. Now go to the "system/media" folder on your phone. Its in the first menu on RootExplorer. Paste the "/video" folder into the "system/media" folder (you may have to click the "enable R/W" button at the top).
6. Now reboot! You should have the TV shutoff animation.
Now for the audio. Same method. Start in the extracted ROM.zip This time the file is in the "system/media/audio/ui" folder. Its called "shutdown.ogg" I believe. Copy this file to your desktop and use the same method above for the "/video" file. But this time you paste "shutdown.ogg" to the "system/media/audio/ui" folder. Viola! Reboot. (you may have to delete the old "shutdown.ogg" first)
You now have the TV shutoff video and audio.
I may be incorrect about which ROM has it. But whichever does...that is how you go about taking it and putting it in any ROM you want.
Hope this helps someone.

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
You can download it from here http://www.multiupload.com/S9T7H8PM03
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
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!

Hi all! Whenever some friends of mine update their Twitter a/c in Hindi Language Fonts, am unable to read them as they show up us empty rectangular boxes. Wasn't Gingerbread 2.3.3 supposed to support Hindi Language Fonts? Anyone knows how to fix this?
I guess I will have to add the Hindi font ttf file in the "fonts" folder in my Root> System folder. I have the droidhindi.ttf file downloaded but I don't know how to copy it to the required folder in root. It does not show sytem files when connected to a Laptop via USB. I can view the folder in Root Explorer on my phone, but how to transport the droidhindi.ttf file to the Fonts folder in the phone??
And will it work if I just add the drop the droidhindi.ttf file in the Fonts folder? Anyone who knows this??
a lot of indians are buying this phone

ok this is what you need to do...
goto systems/fonts and take a backup of DroidSansFallback.ttf
move it to computer/sdcard...but keep it safe...
now move the droidhindi.ttf to systems/fonts
rename droidhindi.ttf to DroidSansFallback.ttf
restart the browser....by killing it from task manager and relaunching...
go to a hindi site....
@pHyRe7
@woodstock_ahem : Thanks a ton for your response. In a hurry right now, will do as you posted in my first free time. Hope it works
@woodstock_ahem : Ok, got down to acting upon your advice. But the problem is that I can only view the /sdcard directory of my phone when connected to my laptop via USB cable. I cannot access any other space in the phone except the /sdcard.
I can view the root files via the Root Explorer app on my phone, so I tried to Move the DroidSansFallback.ttf from the System>Fonts folder, but when I click on the Move command, I get the message that "You cannot move System Files as they are Read Only". So the problem I'm facing is HOW to transfer the new .ttf file from my laptop to the Fonts folder in System? I can neither transport the new file from my laptop to the Fonts folder in the phone coz that folder is not accessible when connected to the laptop, nor can I move the existing DroidSansFallback.ttf file anywhere else from the Fonts folder on the phone. So what to do now?
Just a piece of info which might be useful for you : My phone has KE8 Kernel, is rooted but reverted back to original kernel to remove the yellow triangle.

To alter any system files you need to set to R/W(read/write) if you keep it at read only you cant alter anything.(its designed as a protection)
On the top R/H conner of root explorer there is a button to set it to R/W or RO.
Hope this helps you.

To add to what @iznee has mentioned....
do the following:-
copy the droidhindi.ttf anywhere in the phone memory(after preferably creating a folder).. this doesnt need root explorer...just a file copy from the laptop should be enough... (you said you can see sdcard folder right ?... copy the file there)
i am guessing so far you have not used root explorer for anything else than browsing system files..else you wont be asking the question...
so first things first you have to provide root access to the root explorer app else you would not be able to provide it with r/w access...
install a free app superuser and give the root access allow to root explorer...
follow what @iznee has mentioned above
then follow what i advised in my first reply to this thread
@Iznee : "To alter any system files you need to set to R/W(read/write)".....this is what I had missed! Thanks a ton, your post was very helpful.
@woodstock_ahem : Thanks, Woody! Once I was able to change the option to r/w......rest was easy. Replaced the .ttf like you said. Now opening some hindi sites to test whether it works. And voila! it works! Thanks again to both of you
But one minor hiccup has occured. I've lost the Original DroidSansFallback.ttf file I'll tell you how. I had moved the original file to my sdcard>android folder. The original was a 4.5 MB file but it was showing as a .nomedia file with 0 bytes. So I thought let me move it to my Data Folder inside the Android folder from where I intended to transport the original file to my laptop, where I thought it would be safer. Till I moved the original file to my Android folder inside sdcard, the file was showing as normal (DroidSansFallback.ttf), but as soon as I moved it from there to my Data folder inside the Android folder it turned into a .nomedia file with 0 bytes! And when I moved it back to the android file it was still showing as a .nomedia file with 0 bytes.
So does this mean that Samsung is not allowing us to move the Original DroidSansFallback.ttf file outside the phone? I hope I will never need the original file as the file I replaced it with is working fine, but just in case I need it......now I don't have the original
Just as you got the droidhindi.ttf from the web you can get the lost file...you would also get it back when you update the next released firmware..or reflash ROM...plenty of ways...no big deal...this would be a learning point for you...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Ya, no big deal that I lost the original as the new one is working fine, so I won't miss the original. But my question was this.......does this mean that we cannot move system files of the phone outside the phone? How did the file change its filetype to .nomedia and its filesize to 0 bytes from 4.5MB?
i had not elaborated on how to copy a file from the phone memory to the computer assuming that is too simple to write about it...
i dont see any problem here...the learning point for you is..always...always create a new folder for taking backups...and not just move a file into a systems library..
this equates to dowloading a music file into c:\windows\system32\data as an example...why not have a separate folder for it..
i have taken a copy of DroidSanFallback.ttf into a new folder created in both Sdcard phone folder as well as into a folder created into external_sd (which is a separate physical sd card)...
can move it back and forth to/from computer without issues...
this will work for any kind of file..any extension...
so there is no issue here...
Well, for some reason i flashed the Nexus boot animation throw recovery awhile ago, now i want to change my BA, but its not letting me. I cannot find the stock BA in data or system, and if i try and reflash through recovery, it gets aborted. Any ideas?
if you have the CM7 rom on your computer as a zip file, open it (don't extract it) with either winrar or 7-zip (I prefer 7-zip which is also free), in 7-zip go to system/media and just drag the bootanimation.zip from there to your desktop. Copy it to your TP's sd card then in your file manager (on the TP) go to system/media and delete (or rename) your current bootanimation.zip then copy the bootanimation.zip from your sd card to system/media, restart and enjoy. Hope that helps
The only problem I have is that there's no system/media... all I can find is sdcard/media on the TP
EDIT: Used Root Explorer and found the proper area it should go in. However, it doesnt matter what boot animation file is in that spot (some i pulled from the net, and the stock one pulled from the CM7 a3.5 build), it STILL plays the damn nexus ICS boot animation file. WTH?
And yes, i have renamed them. There is only one Bootanimation.zip file in there, all are renamed 2, 3, 4 etc. Regardless, it will not change the boot animation...
Another way to play with the boot animations is to place the zip file under /data/local and delete will revert back to the original
