Hello, i am trying to push a boot animation ripped from a droid 2, however i was wondering if the screens resolution calls for any modifications to the animation, also if the animation fails to load will it simply display a blank screen until it goes to the lockscreen or will the phone refuse to boot, thanks for reading/replying to this.
The resolution shouldnt matter, most likely the image isnt the whole size of the screen (this was the case when i had a droid 1).
If your image fails it will just show nothing and boot normally.
im not a pro, but this is what happened when i was changing mine on the droid. Right now however, i do not think that we are able to easily modify the boot screen. If we are, please let me know how, i miss Andy peeing on an apple!
Look for the threads. There is a thread to change boot up and shut down screens AND sounds. Yo are gonna need two files and name them
bootsamsung.qmg
bootsamsungloop.qmg
They are in /system/media
First backup up and delete original files
To change a boot logo all you need to do is "adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local" in a windows cmd prompt, but must cd to your android_sdk tools folder first (requires android sdk to be installed), you also have to have your device plugged in with usb debugging enabled. On some phones (like the vibrant), it is more complex to change the boot animation though.

Not that I mind too terribly much but when I installed dmesg and ran it I lost my boot animation all together. Fun.
I'm rooted on 4.1.57 running GreyBlur 2.1 or whatever the newest is. I used root explorer and made sure there is a bootanimation.zip file where it belongs. Tried manually adding different boot animation zips via rootexplorer. Nada.
Am I missing something?
You can try this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1042736, but I don't really know if it will work or not. It is a theme removal app which will also allow you to attempt to reset your boot animation to stock. Has worked for me. It will only replace the bootanimation.zip but won't change any of the settings that call it., so if those are messed up then this won't help.
Just make sure you say no to the first question in the bat or else it will maul your greyblur theming.
Awesome! Ill give that a shot once I can get on a windows machine at work tomorrow. Luckily this isn't a life or death problem.

You can also download one of the fine boot animations here in the forum straight to your device and then copy it to the /system/media directory on your phone.
heres two I made
red: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AEN45QBA
blue: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PKBOLCT4
Ive actually tried that with no dice.
I have the Call of Duty boot animation, but for some reason the audio wont work. I also have tried the Xbox 360 boot animation. Even that, will not play the audio. but the FinalThunder.mp3 still plays fine.
Ive checked permissions, file names...rhetorically everything. Anyone got an idea what i might be doing wrong?
which rom are you using.....I'm finding the same problem using CM7 and the Bios boot animation. Haven't really looked into it yet though as I just loaded it this morning.
Will post back if I find anything.........
Stock. I rooted fully. Rootchecker says im fine, and the animation works, but no sound
What I have found that works is you have to have the folders within bootanimation.zip set up the same way as the stock one: android, progress and VZW. I haven't look that far into but it seems like the boot sound is triggered when a certain folder is started. If this is so, replacing the boot animation with another one that isn't structured the same and renaming the mp3 to FinalThunder won't work.
Like, wat do you mean? only thing i got is the bootanimation.zip and FinalThunder.mp3, and its int he same place, as in /system/customize/resource/

There's a folder structure inside bootanimation.zip. I'm not talking about where the zip file stored on the phone. More than like the Call of Duty zip has two folders in it, android and part2. Link me to where you got the boot animation and I'll fix it for you.

Ill try to attach the ones i have.
Looking inside them both, stock bootanim has no folders. But the COD one does. As for the audio, FinaltHUNDER works but cod-finalthunder wont. (no, i didnt name it that lol)
As i said before, the boot animation works PERFECTLY, just the audio is not working
Try this. Works with sound on my phone. http://www.mediafire.com/?2fvuc65eqdcfdp3
testing. will post with results.
Also, could you maybe tell me what you did? I really want to learn. I have some others i'd like to get working, as well as some ideas I am building with some friends. They know the stuff, but they are in classes and doing finals..I don't have the luxury of college.
Also, is there a way i can adb into my phone and auto-achieve r/w on my system folder? Right now, i have to use RootExplorer and mount as R/W since adb always tells me "unable to push, blah blah, read only filesystem"
It works. Perfectly. Cept the audio is unsynched but that will be easy for me to fix. Thank you so much. What did you change, my awesome savior?

All I did was set the folder structure the same way the stock one is, with android, progress and VZW and made sure desc.txt was formatted properly.
If you are using adb, instead of using Root Explorer to mount system, try command
Code:
adb shell sysrw
Of course this command all depends on how the ROM is set up that you are using.
So, say im using a new bootanimation. Copy/pasta the desc text file, and make sure the structure inside is the same way?
adb shell sysrw says permission denied. im using rooted stock.

Simple break down: android folder contains the first image of the boot animation; the one some people thinks is a second splash screen. VZW folder contains the actually boot animation images and progress is the last image display at the phone is booting. Place your boot animation images in these folders accordingly. I would suggest just putting a plain black image in the android folder and name the image the same as the stock "second splash" screen.
Use the desc.txt file from the boot that I sent you. The only thing you will need to change is the frame rate to make it work with other boot animations. So if a boot is supposed to be displayed at 10 fps, change the 30 to 10 and save.
Once you have everything the way you want it, zip all three folders and desc.txt using the store, or no compression, option. Now you are ready to go. Like you mentioned earlier, you may need to edit FinalThunder.mp3 to make it sync correctly.
About adb sysrw command; stock RUU is not up for that command. Not sure what the syntax would be for stock root or if you can even mount the system as R/W through adb.
dont think i can. and i thnk i gotta lower the fps a little ont he animation

Did you open it from within the zip file and save it? If so, when you saved it, the zip was updated and probably changed the compression ratio to the default of whatever program you are using.

None. Use store option or no compression.
Hey guys, I'm looking for and audio thread that would help with a GB lockscreen, I have ran across one or know if there is one but I found this one and may one of you could help me?
I want to change or I should say make an audio sound for when I unlock my GB Rom. Is that possible? I also wanted to combined in two audio sounds. Any help would be great and appreciated. Thanks

I tried to change my boot animations on my lg g3 on sprint and i can not get anything back.. It just boots in a black screen. I have read all i can from @sinisin but i have not made any progress. I dont care what my boot screen is as long as its not black, it just irritates me.

Ok if you don't mind telling me EXACTLY step by step what you did. Be precise, I don't mind reading. The more info the better! I had the same issue when I was making my bootanimation for this but it was because I built my animation wrong. Also did you happen to save the original bootanimations?
This ^^^^And/or also, did you delete the Power on/ Power off folders and/or sounds?
RE:
I deleted the system/media bootanimation.zip and bootanimation_sprint.zip as well as the shutdownanimation.zip and shutdownanimation_sprint.zip. Relplaced them both with several different files (at different times, obviously) to make sure it wasn't a problem with just the boot animation I was trying to use. Deleted the power on and off folders from carrier/cust. I did not delete the sounds. I do have another G3 that worse comes to worst, I will root and copy the entire folders and replace them on my g3. Should I delete the sound folders as well? Thanks

Just to cover all bases - did you change permissions? Sorry if it was implied but I don't want to assume anything. Don't delete the sounds, just leave them be because they wont interfere with the bootani. Did you flat out delete the originals without making a backup? Since you tried different bootanis it sounds like its a permission issue but if you did that properly as well I'm not sure. When I messed up my first bootani, I put the originals back, fixed permissions and it booted up with the sprint spark animation again......

Yes i deleted them, foolishly. My permissions are set to "rw--r--r--T", My files are .zip format, i notice some people said extract them, but doesnt that defeat the purpose of the .zip name?
Sorry I'm very new to LG phones after dealing with Samsung so long. I also tried to use rom toolbox to change the boot ani to one of their gallery ones to no avail.
Is there anyway you could copy the entire folder and send it to me as well as the power on/ power off folders?
I dont know of anyway else to fix this

Again just to be sure does it say "644" when you change permissions? What you wrote "rw--r--r--T" Should be "-rw-r--r--T". The "T" isn't truly necessary but if you do select the T it would say 1644. Either 644 or 1644 should work.
I have a backup of the original bootanimations somewhere but my folders have all been altered. As for extracting them.....it has to be a .zip file. bootanimation.zip and bootanimation_sprint.zip. Extracted them would give you folders and a text file but your system only knows to use those two zip files in that exact location with those exact permissions as bootanimations. Also, exactly what bootanimations did you use?

I have read this whole thread, and I am still unable to switch mine. I tried everything mentioned. I also have the Sprint G3, and I am using Root Browser. When I try to change the permissions, it tells me it fails to do so, as some devices won't allow you to change permissions. Help?!?

Root browser won't let you change permissions? You either need to update supersu or more likely, try a different browser/file Explorer. I use solid explorer which has a free 14 day trial. Es is free though, try that.
