Hi all,
I have Xperia U running on ICS. I found in folder structure \System\media\ file "bootanimation.zip" which contains .png files of boot animation. My questions:
1, can I remove boot animation by simple deleting this .ZIP file?
2, or where is some config file which calls this .ZIP file? Maybe I can somewhere disable running boot animation by simpy changing "Yes" value to "No" or something like that...
Thank you,
Rado

The thread I got the idea from can be found here: Credit goes to Gla'DOS for the scribble boot animation.

I'm not sure if 2.1 builds support bootanimation.zip files so I extracted the png's, renamed them, edited the .cfg file and it works flawlessly on my phone.
In the provided zip is the shutdown.png files, the .cfg file and a readme file. The readme file explains how I did it so everyone can do it.
This is a shutdown animation only.
Here is the zip that contains everything, enjoy!

So basically you converted the stuff from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8813403&postcount=2
To make a shutdown image?
That's correct. I was going to mention your name in the OP but I wasn't sure if you were the original creator of the scribble animation, my apologies if you were.

great,i was wondering how to extract boot animations. i rly like the the one with the android logo and a green flash type of thing moving in the back ground.
Yeah its very easy to do. I was searching other forums last night and have a whole bunch of bootanimation.zip files I'm going to convert. I'll post them when I'm done.
No boot video at all...
Is it possible to get rid of the animation altogether and display the Android equivalent of a POST screen, so we can see things getting loaded/activated as it boots?
Only problem with that is the BOOT animation's are not png files rather than qmg files and those are proprietary samsung files I believe. I've read a couple different threads on different boards and it looks like editing qmg files proves to be very difficult.
If you look in the Vibrant Bible sticky on the Development section of Samsung Vibrant, toward the bottom of the OP is the link for the custom boot animation. It's a Think Tank... no one has fully figured it out but it's well on its way to being cracked I'm sure.
Shutdown files are simply PNG files renamed to 'shutdown_##' placed in a folder named shutdown with a cfg file telling it how many frames to run.
Boot animation files they've figured you can create an uncompressed .zip file, place it in the system/media folder and a desc.txt file telling it resolution and how to run.

I need help with restoring the stock Galaxy S2 boot animation.
This was what happened. I installed jrummy's Root Tools.
In my eagerness, I replaced the original boot animation without backing up!
Now when I want to undo the changes that has been done, many an online search suggested going to system/media and removing bootanimation.zip so that bootsamsung and bootsamsungloop can work their magic...
And here is where the problem is, bootanimation.zip is nowhere to be found!
I wonder if Root Tools had totally overwritten bootsamsung and bootsamsungloop.
All I want is to get back the original bootanimation sequence.
Can anyone help with this? TIA!!!
Here is the original bootanimation
Just unzip the attached zip file and copy and paste the attached bootsamsung.qmp and bootsamsungloop.qmg to system/media and you are done..
BTW is your poweron sound intact??
Thanks bro! The poweron sound is still present.
I have resolved the problem. Apparently, I have been going at it wrongly.
I had been using Astro as file manager but it didn't allow me to access data/local where bootanimations.zip was.
After I switched to RootExplorer and removed the offending file, voila!

Hello Everyone!
I would like to change the boot animation of Huawei Honor 7 (PLK-L01).
Q1). Where the boot animation zip file is found?
Q2). What is the name of the boot animation zip folder?
Q3). What is the required permission of the boot animation?
Q4). What is the resolution required for the boot animation?
Q5). How long should the boot animation last?
Any solutions, answers, comments, or links will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your time and help!
Best Regards,
Ken
Answering my own question above after successfully changing the boot animation manually.
Q1). Where the boot animation zip file is found?
It is found at: /Cust/Preinstalled/Public/Media
Q2). What is the name of the boot animation zip folder?
The name of the file is "bootanimation.zip".
Q3). What is the required permission of the boot animation?
The required permission is: (rw-r-r)
Q4). What is the resolution required for the boot animation?
Taking Honor 7 into consideration, you need to have your resolution set to (1080 x 1920 pixels).
Q5). How long should the boot animation last?
It should not last more than 10-12 seconds at most.
To change your boot animation, do the following:
1. Root up your phone.
2. Backup your phone.
3. Backup the file "bootanimation.zip".
4. Create your own animation or download one online.
5. Compress your newly created animation and name it like the original name.
6. Upload your newly created animation using a file explorer that accepts root level changes.
Always keep a full backup of your data before trying anything. I hope this helps!
We're is the root folder and the name of file please ?
Very simple and most know how but here's a breif walk through and a place all can share boot animation zips.
The zip will need to be renamed procicely the same as the one you are replacing.
Using a Root file manager go to the following directory:
/system/customize/resoucre/
These are the animation files below and a breif discription. Back the original up/disable by renaming it something like ( orig.sprint_bootup.zip or xxxsprint_bootup.zip )
i like to use the xxx method to force them alphabetically to the bottom of the directory to keep track of them.
1.) sprint_bootup.zip
#sprint logo during boot up
2.) sprint_shutdown.zip
#sprint logo shutting down phone
3.) hTC_bootup.zip
#preloaded htc boot up animations
4.) hTC_downanimation.zip
#preloaded htc shut down animation
5.) BM_startup_animation.zip
#preloaded htc boot up animation.
There also is 1 png file that is the 2nd wallpaper shown after the initial boot up HTC screen that has red text indicating your phone has been modified. The 1st screen / red text can not be removed here.
Png file = splash_screen.png
Please feel free to post links of your favorite boot animations and issues/questions you may have.
GoodLuck!

So to use this black boot image u have here.. after saving image file it needs to be renamed with extension .png then after that does it need to be placed into a zip file or do you rename it to hTC_bootup.zip and place in the resource folder?

Ok so if im understanding. I want to keep the stock bolt bootup anymation just wanna get rid of the sprint one. Can i just delete the one from sprint and leave the other one?
Hey Folks,
Lately, I've been searching for a boot animation which has sound in it and produces sound during boot. Recently my friend gave me one boot animation which has sound in it, I have tested this animation on my MOTO G 2014 (TITAN) and it does produce sound during boot.
Tested this animation on AOSP Extended 3.0 & 3.1 ROMs & Resurrection Remix 5.8.1 for TITAN and in both the ROMS it worked fine
Here is what I found when I manually opened "bootanimation.zip" file with WinRAR, it contains part0, part1, part2 directories and a file named desc.txt which normally bootanimations have, but what I found new was that each part folder contains trim.txt which later I found that it contains data for coordinates of image to be placed on the screen while running boot animation.
The another thing which I found in the part2 folder was an audio file named "audio.wav". This file contained the audio which gets produced when the part2 of boot animation gets executed. Later I manually converted some random song to .wav and renamed it to "audio.wav" and put that file in part1 instead of part2, when I installed the boot animation, it worked
So in order to have sound on boot animation read How to do this below
HOW TO DO THIS:
1. You need a working boot animation which has frames and folders like "part0, part1, part2" and a desc.txt file. (This may also work on some STOCK ROMS, but I'm not sure).
2. Convert your favorite audio into WAVE (.wav) format and rename it to "audio.wav"
3. Put your "audio.wav" into any of the part folders i.e. in part0 or in part1, it doesn't matter because when boot animation runs that part it will produce sound
4. Compress the part0,part1,part2 & desc.txt to a zip file with no compression i.e. 0 compression and name it "bootanimation.zip"
5. Copy your modified "bootanimation.zip" to /system/media (Make sure to backup your original one)
6. Change file permissions to ( rw- r-- r--) and reboot your phone.
Tadaaa Now You'll Have a Bootanimation With SOUND.
I don't know the duration or length of audio to put inside boot animation, let me know if you find this, till then enjoy boot animation with sound
I've attached a link of a bootanimation. This one is same as AOSP Extended ROM's BootAnimation but with sound :laugh:

Great finding it works bro
Zip given by you works :good:, but when i tried to do with other ones the bootanimation didn't display, device started without any animation:
Can you add the black bootlogo too?
Coz i currently have the white one and it feels odd. THANKS!

Umm Ok.. Please make sure that the audio file is in .WAV format, no other file format works. Secondly make sure to compress zip file using PC, files compressed in android create problems. I've used WINRAR to make zip files and that works for me fine and make sure to have ZERO compression, if using winrar, I've attached screenshots.
If none of the above works, then compress the file using Boot Animation Factory you can download it and also learn how to use it from HERE

Alright bro, here you go, THIS IS NOT A FLASHABLE ZIP, and this is compiled for XT1068 whose resolution is 720x1280, to use this, extract the zip file, reboot your phone into bootloader mode and using fastboot flash the file, use the command:
Code:
mfastboot.exe flash logo logo.bin
MFASTBOOT is used for motorola phones to flash files in fastboot mode I don't know the reason, but in my case fastboot worked too
I MUST WARN YOU USE AT YOUR OWN RISK BUDDY, ALL THE BEST :good:
