Hi, Noob here.
Before posting this, I've researched a lot and I've still come up empty.
I'm trying to change my shutdown animation to the Galaxy S swirl with a "custom" tone - basically just removing the T-Mobile crap and leaving the Galaxy S and adding the tone. I got the the shutdown animation files from an adroidforum.
I placed the PNG files in system/media/video/shutdown. It maxed out at 64 PNG files, but there were more in the zip file. I also placed the custom tone in system/media/audio/ui - as "shutdown_128.ogg". All of this I did using Root Explorer and on the stock ROM running Froyo.
The only thing this does after following the steps is remove the jingle and shutdown animation. Nothing comes up. When I reboot or turn the phone off, a prompt screen shows up says:
Power off
Shutting down.
And it's off.
I have two questions and hoping someone can help:
1. Does anyone have another zip file containing the Galaxy S swirl shutdown animation or know if I even need one?
2. Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong and know how to fix it?
Please let me know if I need to provide any add'l info or files.
Thanks in advance!
Just thought this post might have been overlooked. Can anyone assist?

1. I am sure you can search around for the shutdown, I THINK bionix might have it, just pull the shutdown folder out of the Rom.
2. Check your .cfg file in the shutdown folder. Should read the same numbers as your png's ie; Shutdown_0.png, Shutdown_1.png, Shutdown_2.png, Shutdown_3.png ect.. in your folder then the .cfg file should read 0123456789101112 ect... in it.
Also, try changing the shutdown to just shutdown.ogg and see if that helps.
Does anyone have a working bootanimation.zip without the AT&T logo? I tried editing the original one but I ended up with a blank boot animation screen.
you should be able to search the forum for whatever boot animation you want. Granted they won't be the proper resolution if you pick one with black edges you will be fine. I was using one on a previous flash just fine.
I'll try to find the thread where I found mine

sweet, so exisiting bootanimations work, I can use my old one again haha.

I tried those animations and they worked fine, but I still wish I could keep the original animation.
Boot Animations, while can be tricky and a headache, are customizable if you can adjust the image sizes, etc.
For example, the Motorola Atrix can use up to 540x960 for the resolution. You can also add custom sounds at load by saving an OGG audio file to /system/media (same location as the bootanimation.zip) and adding it accordingly to the desc.txt file. Below is an example.
Code:
540 960 1
p 1 10 part0
s autodestruct.ogg
p 0 0 part1
The first line is the resolution and the frames per second.
Code:
"540 960" Resolution "1" Frames Per Second (each individual image)
The second line defines a Part. For example, the first animation you want to play. So far for me, this is the animation AFTER the Dual Core logo that plays when I've made mine.
Code:
"p" Depicts this is a Part "1" Repeat this many times (0 is infinite) "10" is the delay in frames before the next Part "part0" is the directory within the zip to load this part from
So far easy right? The next line, is for the audio file. If the OGG has a loop point, the audio will loop until the Part is over that it plays within.
Code:
"s" Depicts a sound "autodestruct.ogg" The filename to load from /system/media
A few more examples of loading parts............
To load a Part that is a single image, that loops till boot is done, use this
Code:
p 0 0 "directory_name_here"
I'll try to post some example bootanimation.zip files with explanations if I get time. I've only made a couple so far for my company out of boredom.

So this doesn't break anything? Will I be able to update my phone when an update is out, without having to restore the original bootanimation.zip?

I recommend using your file explorer to rename the original bootanimation.zip on your phone to something like bootanimation_original.zip then put in your custom if you have any worries.
That way, if you go to update just rename custom to bootanimation_custom.zip and restore the original.
Personally, I do not know if the boot animation file will affect updates, but that is a failsafe for you just in case.

Ohh, so what you want is the default bootanimation without the ATT part!
I've personally never worked with bootanimations before, but using MrSER's guide above, i'll try to do that for you.
EDIT: yea... I only get the blackscreen too, really weird...
EDIT 2: figured it out. if you're using WinRAR, when you go to make a .zip, choose "store" instead of "normal" compression, and it should work just fine. I have attached the Default bootanimation.zip without the ATT part

My bad mate, forgot to mention that. I make mine with Winzip 15 Pro and set it to No Compression (from my experience, no compression is a requirement).
I may end up doing a tutorial on all this on my blog. If I do, I'll post a copy here and link as well (I like screenshots on my blog, lol).

thanks for the bootanimation.zip, i did chmod 644 it before cp to /system/media to match the perms on the original bootanimation.zip, but i did a reboot and it worked fine. it's nice not having the att logo during boot, and having att removed from the notification bar with the ginerblur mod too. feels good man!
What folder do you put the animation in?

In the system/media folder.
I know this is a really newb question but I am a newb when it comes to android... I've owned my Atrix for about a week. Anyway, how do I replace this file and where do I find it?

Just find a boot animation that you like, download the zip file, rename it to bootanimation.zip and then go into your system/media folder and change the name of the current bootanimation to anything you want like bootanimationold.zip. Then put the new zip file in the system/media folder and there you go. You do not need to move the old boot animation file as long as you change the name.
of course, the method I'm describing is relevant if you have rooted your phone and you have something like Root Explorer, otherwise you will need to use adb, but still you need root.

Thank you so much man I really wanted to remove this AT&T animation
im having a similiar problem on my rooted atrix. I tried to change my bootanim and just gives me a black screen, so i tried to change it back to the orignal and nothing. I checked if the zip was compressed and it isnt. i dont know what i did wrong, i didnt touch anything but the zip
I figured I would share with the community since people are finding ICS a little tricky
*JUST AN UPDATE. I FOUND THAT THE BEATS AND VZW FOLDERS CAN HAVE ANY NUMBER OF IMAGES*
What you need:
boot animation creator.exe (windows program) get it at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1234611 (credit to despotovski01)
7zip (windows program) http://www.7-zip.org/
fotosizer (windows program) http://www.fotosizer.com/
some type of boot animation (youtube video, collection of images, whatever)
the stock VZW boot animation (attached)
file explorer app (root explorer, es file explorer, etc)
Steps:
create a folder somewhere that you will be working from
in that folder, create a folder named VZW
use fotosizer to rename the images.
USE THESE SETTINGS : Preset size - original, destination folder (the folder you created earlier named VZW, output format - JPEG, file name mask (this is important) render_720x1280_compress %NNN
add your images to fotosizer and click start. it will output the images to the folder you chose all named "render_720x1280_compress xxx.jpeg"
grab the "beats" folder and the "android" folder from the stock animation
place these folders with VZW
open the boot animation creator.exe
choose the folder that contains beats, android and VZW and choose next
HERE IS THE TRICKY PART: the settings have to be like this or it wont work
android - 1 15
beats - 1 15
VZW - X 90 (x can be as many times as you want the image set in the VZW folder to repeat)
width - 720
height - 1280
speed - 15
choose next and save it anywhere you want. The file must be named Vigor_VZW_bootanimation.zip
Place the zip on your sd card and drop it where ever you ROM has its boot animation (either /system/customize/resource or /data/local or /system/media)
change the permissions to RW-R-R using a file explorer and reboot
IF YOU DON'T WANT THE BEATS ANIMATION:
use fotosizer once again to rename your first 35 images to "Beats Audio Animation as JPG Seq XX" the same way as you did with the VZW folder and place them in the "beats" folder
you will need to redo the naming process again for the VZW folder
follow the same steps for the bootanimation creator.exe program
IF YOU WANT LANDSCAPE
Simply open the folder that your images are stored in, single click on the first image, press and hold the shift key, click on the last image. right click and choose rotate clockwise. proceed as normal.
you can also create a flashable zip (include with the tools and credit Mr.Smith317) with the animation placed in the correct location
(there may be other ways of doing this process, but this ways has always worked without fail)
DOWNLOAD THE TOOLS
Adding sound :
grab your sound file. it must be an mp3 and shouldn't be longer than 15 seconds
rename it to android_audio.mp3
the default.xml file in /system/customize/CID needs to be edited
find this line 3/4 of the way down in the xml file
<BootAnimation animation="/system/customize/resource/Vigor_VZW_bootanimation.zip"
add this to the end
"audio="/system/customize/resource/android_audio.mp3" audiostart="VZW"/>
the whole line should be
<BootAnimation animation="/system/customize/resource/Vigor_VZW_bootanimation.zip"audio="/system/customize/resource/android_audio.mp3" audiostart="VZW"/>
*notice "/system/customize/resource/Vigor_VZW_bootanimation.zip? thats where your boot animation is stored*
place you audio mp3 file in the same folder as the boot animation
change permissions to RW-R-R
reboot
the sound will start to play when the VZW folder images start. if you want to change this edit this part of the line you added
audiostart="VZW"/> to what ever folder you want it to start at

change the first 9 images so that they are named "render_720x1280_compress 001, 002, 003" etc
if you have more than 100 images rename them as "render_720x1280_compress 100, 101, 102" etc (the goal is to end up with the imaged names 001 to XXX consecutively)
grab the "beats" folder and the "android" folder from the stock animation
place these folders with VZW
open the boot animation creator.exe

THANK YOU. i wanted to port my boot animation but it wasnt working. i cant wait to try.
I made a ton of boot animations a while back, mostly for the inc and EVO. I opened one of the stock Rezound ones up the other to look around inside at the files. Why are the folders duplicated? The one I looked at has 2 beats, 2 vzw, etc. They seem to have the exact same images in them.
Also. Which animation does what? On a couple if Roma I tried the.boot animation was different depending on how I booted. Doing a full power down and reboot was different than doing a hot reboot.

If you change "render_720x1280_compress 0%N" to "render_720x1280_compress %NNN" you don't have to go back and add the extra 0 to the first 9 or fix anything over 100.

FPS?
First of all great guide, and congrats on making the first page. I was wondering if there was any way to increase the FPS (im trying to increase it to 25) of the boot animation, I've noticed that anytime I change it in boot animation creator, my animation doesn't work anymore. If I can't change it in the boot animation creator, what would be the best way to speed up the frames a bit? Thanks in advance.

First of all thank you OP for this walkthrough. I have a Vivid and haven't been able to get bootsounds to work. With a little guidance from post 2, we have bootsound!
Xarmox - In all the animations I've ever made, there should be a desc.txt in your animation's .zip, along with the image folders. In this .txt file, the first line will display "width height framespersecond". You should be able to speed it up/slow it down by editing the fps
Also to OP and anyone else who might be interested - if you leave off the audiostart="folder", it will just start the sound at the beginning of the animation, rather than looking for a specific folder name. This would allow other animations that don't use the same folder structure to utilize the sound. However if you only want your sound to start at a specific roll of images, this is a great addition!

thank you for the advice, the problem I'm having is that anytime i change the FPS in the desc.txt or in the boot animation program, my boot animation doesn't play on my phone when i boot up, it just shows the splash screen until the phone boots up. Its as if the ReZound won't play any boot animation unless its at 15 FPS.
I tried deleting every other image in the VZW folder and renamed them (I think this would give the appearance of ~30 FPS, when played at 15FPS), which isn't the preferred way, because its gonna make syncing up the sound that much more difficult. Maybe I could figure out a good pattern of frames to delete to give the appearance of 25 FPS.

Don't know if it would matter or not, but are you putting the edited desc.txt back with Store compression (file size and compressed size the same)? I use WinRAR to do this as it allows me to select compression level every time, but have to use 7zip for a lot of the other things I do that don't require Store compression, it seems to just know
Edit: Keep in mind I'm saying this without ever having played with a bootanimation for a Rezound. I have a buddy with one, if you're still having trouble I'll put one on his and see what I can do next time I see him. Or maybe OP can chime in with some knowledge
can someone please help me out here. i want to get rid of the god awful boot animation on the new ics leak. i have tried to copy over the one that's there now and it wont allow me to. i have also tried to delete it and that doesn't work either. any help would be greatly appreciated.

ok i am able to change the boot animation and got rid of the t mobile jingle. now i want to add my own audio file during the boot animation. what do i need to name the file to work properly. i named it just like the t mobile jingle sound but that didnt work. any help would be greatly appreciated
The T-Jingle is just a ringtone, the bootup sound is named ruby_something, I don't remember what exactly off the top of my head, but it is a .wav file.
If I am going to put my own boot animation in here, can I just find a GIF of the appropriate dimensions and rename it .zip, or do I have to take each frame and convert it to a .png and put it in a zip file the same way that the default boot animation is?

no actually T-Jingle is the sound that was used on the original boot animation. as soon as i got rid of it that jingle did not sound when i loaded up the boot animation. i know the .wav file you speak of though. but if that was the boot animation sound why wouldn't it sound now with my new boot animation. there has to be some way to associate the new boot animation with what ever sound file when the phone boots up. as far as creating your own boot animation there are a lot of tutorials on this site. within the boot animation zip file there is a text file that basically tells the screen resolution and how as well as the frame rate and how the file should work. you should dl any boot animation and look at the desc.txt file. that will give you a little of an idea of how it all works.

Weird, on my phone T-Jingle.ogg is just a 3 second clip of the T-Mobile jingle ringtone sound, the one that plays on my phone at startup was ruby_something.wav, which is much longer and has the sort of rocket blast sound at the beginning and then a prolonged T-Mobile jingle.

I will open up the default boot animation and see what's doing. It is kind of confusing though because in the zip file is all of the .png files for the animation, but then there is another .zip file that has the exact same thing in it.

they both might be involved with the boot animation but as soon as i removed the t-jungle.ogg there was no sound at all when the boot animation. i will try messing with the other sound and see what happend

not quite sure about that. i just know that i was able to take a boot animation from another phone and edit the desc.txt file to the proper screen resolution to get it to work. like i had mentioned if you do a search on the site there are quite a few tutorials on how to create the boot animations. good luck

answered above in your quote
sorry for bringing up a fairly old thread, but this is exactly what i was looking for.
so i was able to change back to the stock boot animation as OP said, but I DO want the original sound to it, right now there is no sound. what is the file called and where is it located? i found the file in a t-mobile bloater zip from another thread, just no idea where it goes and what it should be called.

Im also looking for the answer, where does the sound file go?
Did any of you read anything I posted? The wav file I posted is the default boot sound.

Ithink you quickly answered without knowing what i and last poster asked, where in the boot animation zip does the sound file go, the link you gave me has the sound file seperate from the bootanimation zip.
I read every post in this thread and my question is not answered.

Did you even look at the link I posted in your thread? If you did, then you wouldn't be looking to put the sound file in the bootanimation, but instead put it in the required folder, that's why I linked to a tutorial, it is there for a reason.
Hi everyone,
This is my first time posting here so hello to everyone!
I recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy S5 after having iPhones for years and I haven't stopped using it since. I was looking into boot animations and I saw all the BIOS boot animations but realized that no one had created one for the Galaxy S5 yet. Because of that I made one myself specifically for the Samsung Galaxy S5 meaning that all the files are in the QMG format and not the typical bootanimation.zip style. Attached to this post are two zip archives containing the animation file. Both attachments are the same animation but one runs at 18FPS while the other runs at 22FPS. This way in-case your phone boots slower or faster than mine there will be time to completely finish the animation.
I also have it rendered at all different framerates from 5 to 60 so if you need it somewhere else let me know.
Let me know what you think as I plan on making a more unique animation in the future!
How to Install (Device Must be Rooted):
1.Download bootsamsung.qmg file to device
2. Go to system/media
3. Rename the existing bootsamsung.qmg to bootsamsungOld.qmg or something else (do not delete)
4. Rename bootsamsungloop.qmg to bootsamsungloopOld.qmg or something else (carrier animation, can delete if do not want)
5. Place the bootsamsung.qmg file you downloaded into here
6. Change the permissions of the bootsamsung.qmg file to: Owner: read,write Group: read Others: read
7. Reboot your phone and see if it works!
Since I am a new user I can't put images or a video preview here due to them being external links.
Below in attachments along with the animation files there will also be another zip archive containing a GIF preview and two pictures.
***EDIT***
Also in the attached files you will find bootanimation.zip which is the animation files for phones that dont use the Samsung .QMG file format. Note that it is still at 1080x1920 in terms of resolution and will play at 18FPS until you modify the desc.txt
Thanks, PDrizzly
Can I have one in ".zip" format please? The GS5 ROM I am using (MOAR ROM on Sprint GS5) has custom bootanimation support and uses .zip files for bootanimation!

Thanks man looks pretty good but would be improved with more colour and some kind of animation other than text. Good stuff though, much better than carrier boot.

hi i would appreciate how you done it? tutorial on how to make bootanimation for s5 ..
cheers,

I am having trouble getting this to work on AllianceRom. The animation stops at the 12th picture and it just freezes there until the boot cycle completes. After applying the boot animation I can look into the zip archive and every png file from number 13 on is 0kb in size.
Just for some more information I have tried applying the boot animation by flashing via Rom Manager, using Rom Toolbox (Boot Animations), and by manually placing the bootanimation.zip in the system\media directory. When I manually place the zip file in (and adjust permissions), the boot screen is just black. Nothing shows up. Every other boot animation I have tried seems to work just fine. This is the only one giving me trouble.
Any advice?
Thank you.

I am on Alliance t-mobile build 3 - i renamed my current bootsamsung.qmg to bootsamsung.qmg(stock) then i copied the bootsamsung.qmg from the 18fps into system/media. Changed the permissions and I still only get the stock alliance boot animation.

That worked perfectly. Didn't realize that Alliance had a bootanimation.zip file there. Never thought to look lol
Didn't work
I have been trying to tweak some things, but nothing changes! I decided to try simply renaming the bootsamsungloop.qmg with ES file explorer to see if this would work. Sure enough, Verizon still pops up on boot. I had safestrap installed, but wasn't using it, so I uninstalled that, and still nothing. It seems very odd. Any ideas?
