I have a rooted galaxy tab 10.1 wifi using stock ics and the A1 kernel v2.1, is their a way to change the boot animation? I've tried installing it to /data/local/ with no luck and even tried /system/media/ but nothing worked. Can anybody help? Thanks in advance!

Its not that easy some times. The system that handles the bootanim is stock and there for not easy at all to change. Its some strange file standard. If you look in the system/media you find some files related to bootanim the file ending is sonething like qmd. You can google on that and try to mod it.
The easy way is to wait for some poor rom cook to change system.

I did a search on what you said and came across this link:
Code:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/15962-ei2romodincwmtweakstock-v14-updated-2712/
. If you checkout the changelog, it says that it changes the /system/media/ directory to where you can just name it a certain thing and it'll work and for this, all you have to do is flash it using CWM recovery. What do you think about this? Do you think it's safe?

Hi
No that rom is for an other unit. Its important to not flach wrong rom.
It need to be supported by the kernel. The creator of kernel A1 knows about this problem with bootanim. And its a hard to fix.

There's no need to flash another ROM,and any ROM contains it's kernel in it's own package,you can go to this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709693
Here you'll see some bootanimations made for gtab 10.1...
Note that flashing these packages doesn't harm you device but may cause issues if they're not made for your version,for example cm9 went into a bootloop or didn't show the bootanimation when I flashed a bootanim...

I know on other phones it is a simple bootanimation.zip copy and paste, but the vibrant doesnt use that format. So what files do i need to replace?
Thank you

Need a little more info.
Are you stock (non)rooted?
Are you on a custom rom?
Most of the,if not all, custom roms accept bootanimation.zip. There are tons of them in the theme section. Also a tutorial or two as well on making them.

Actually the vibrant does support that...its just that the kernel must support it....its basically supported on all custom ROMs/kernels....not so sure of stock ROMs though...what ROM are you using?
Im on the 2.2.1 Rom just released i am on tapatalk so i cant recall the spelling.
I checked in system/media i couldn't find it. I found bootanimation but no zip.

I think you have to be on a custom ROM to utilize the bootanimation.zip
Hey guys,
I tride to change the villain rom. I extractet the rom and deleted all the sammsung apps from the angelom thread then I packed the rom again. Everything without a problem but after flashing it stoped at the sammsung logo I didnt saw even the bootanimation. What have I done wrong? I didnt change anything expect from the apps.
P.S. I did it with the thread here in the development topic.

Sounds like you either removed something it needs, or didn't build the ROM together right.
They are bigger than nexus ROMs due to Touchwiz.
Hmm yeah but what is the problem? You said in your thread that you will made your own light rom how have you done it? Did it work? What could be an important app? I deleted the hole list from the angelom thread on page 19 or so and some other crap like livewallpaper. But I have deleted this apps before trough root explorer and everything worked fine.

OK it will be the putting together of the ROM that's the issue. Did you CWM flash?
No with heimdall because I cant create a flashable zip.

If you didn't even see the bootanimation that means the bootanimation isn't there or its corrupt. this means, you either got a problem while flashing, or the files are damaged while packing the file.

if u will find it u dont need to flash it. just replace the file with root explorer or esb explorer. the file is called bootanimation.zip
firstu need to find the stock one and replace it manualy (just delete the one that is there inside and replace it with the new one) - easy thing to do. i cant help u with the stock animation cause i have moded already mine. but i hope some of the guys will post it for you soon.
Stock Boot animation is not called bootanimation zip that is a custom animation .
Stock bootanimation should still be on your phone unless you removed the two bootanimation qmg files .
Zip overrides them if you want stock back just delete boot animation zip

Thanks...i will try it!

Rooted-Yes, Im running task650's AOKP 4.2.2 ROM with the stock kernel.....i.e. i haven't flashed another kernel, using the one which is there by default in the rom
You need a root explorer. Pick the bootanimation.zip that you want. Go in system/media folder...find the bootanimation.zip there...back it up. Move the bootanimation.zip that you want into the system/media folder....change permissions to rw/r/r. Reboot phone.
Edit: Make sure it is not a flashable bootanimation...if it is, to do the steps above...you must first extract the bootanimation.zip from the flashable file. Enjoy!

If you're using task's ROM go to settings/ ROM control/ general ui/ custom boot animation/ and choose the boot animation that you downloaded. Its that easy.....you should research a little more....enjoy

You need to go and read the very basic faqs and guides .
I have been doing so but they are plenty and long. I really would appreciate if you could help me just with this specific. Thank you. I have read people calling "stock " both Samsung android and the kernels included in the mod android packages. Thanks again.

I have tried system/media/ui on Cyanogenmod 10.1.3
And I also have tried system/etc
None of them worked.
I even copied the .ogg file to the ringtone folder and the file does appear as a ringtone option in the phone settings, it is just that I have not found the right folder for the bootanimation.
I used Root Explorer.
Thank y'all for your support!.
Was anyone with the sound glitch able to finally make it work? I am using Cyangenomod and baffled by the lack of documentation on bootanimation sound with that rom.
