I haven't been able to figure a way to extract the Korean firmware to get the actual bout animation
This is one from another LG changed to fit our resolution and speed.
Might be a little small but from videos it should be the correct image.
These have to be installed manually. Do not try to flash.

Hi, please be patient with me as this is my first thread here. I looked around here and couldn't seem to find anything related to this.
I was looking around my phone using Astro File Manager to see if I could find the file that makes the phone show the Rogers splashscreen at startup. I found it and I was wondering if it would have any unwanted results if I removed it? I have rooted my phone and want to remove the Rogers boot animation so it only shows the SE ones.
If it won't hurt the phone, is there a way I can backup the file so that I can put it back if I need to send the phone in? I can't seem to find it in Titanium Backup, is there another way to do this? Can I copy it to my laptop?
Thank you for your help!!
Look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=832315
There's some information on how to edit the boot animation and the file/location of the animation.
If all you want is the SE animation and not a custom one, it'll be easier to ask someone with the Nordic or Global 2.1 firmware to copy it from their rom and email it to you then for you to edit the existing one.
Thanks! I already looked at that thread before making this one though and it didn't really answer the questions that I had. I might try the Nordic/Generic ROM option though.
It seems like it is fairly easy to just remove the .png with the Rogers screen on it. I'm just worried about not being able to restore it. Thanks for your suggestions!
EDIT: Found this thread and it has helped quite a bit. It's called X10 Boot Screen Collection. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748145&highlight=boot+animation
Hello,
What i am looking for is the Stock Bootanimation.zip file that comes with fascinate. What i wanna do is get the PNG files that make up the verizon boot logo. I want to take this and use it to make a boot animation for a diff device.
All i have is the bootanimation.qmg but i have searched and have not been able to find a way to get the images out fo htat compressed format.
Thanks for all your assistance in advance.
The stock boot animation isn't a zip file, it's a .qmg file...
stock kernels for fascinate don't support bootanimation.zip files. The .qmg is a proprietary format chosen by Samsung (shock!) and developed for them by the QURAM Corp. However, many custom roms DO support bootanimation.zip startup logos. (SuperClean 2.92 is a superb example)
The shutdown sequence however, is in .png format, although it also comes with a .cfg configuration file. Its located in /system/media/video/shutdown
Hope this helps.
Any way to get that boot animation? When I rooted my gf's fascinate, it replaced the verizon one with the default "android" in landscape mode.
Little off topic but similiar (not trying to hijack post), can you get the orignal backgound back after changing it to something else? It's not listed in the wallpaper choices.
I'm not sure specifically, but it seems that it depends on the kernel you have if you can install custom boot animations, since the Fascinate (and probably other Galaxy phones) don't really have the .zip support (i'm guess on what i've read).
I'm sure someone will correct me, lol

Are you referring to the background that looked like water? I believe it's been replaced by a different water one and that one is listed under live wallpapers.

No the rock formation background/wallpaper when you first bootup after installing 2.0.
hello
is there any guide you can divert me for changing the animation and the sound when tab is booting.
I just upgraded to 3.2 and want to change standard Samsung boot animation to a static jpeg if possible.
cheers
Search, takes 12 seconds
to be frank i did search and it took more than 12seconds! I am really confused after searching because I found 4-5 different methods coming up to certain point then leave it without further instructions.
found some info for converting image to rle file but doesnt explain how to import. another info updating from zip file but doesnt explain how to create that zip from the image itself.
thats why I asked for help from Q/A
Dont mind the search trolls. lol
You cant change booting media unless you change/edit the rom.
If you unlock your bootloader, it will put an annoying warning message instead of the usual greeting screen when you first boot up.
If you want to restore to stock logo screen, go to Hashbang173's thread.
If you want to restore your custom greeting, follow the steps below:
1. Download the XT1575-logo-new-9-14-15.zip file from Hashbang173's thread and extract the logo.bin file.
2. Connect your phone to your computer. Then run this:
Code:
adb shell su -c “dd if=/dev/block/platform/f9824900.sdhci/by-name/clogo of=/sdcard/clogo.bmp”
3. Then you can use a file browser app, go to your sdcard, and email the clogo.bmp to yourself. This clogo.bmp is your original custom greeting screen. You can actually customize that file if you want a different picture.
4. Next, download the boot logo maker by caitsith2.
5. Run the logo maker and load the logo.bin from hashbang173 that you downloaded at the beginning.
6. Replace the logo-boot and logo-unlocked image with your clogo.bmp file.
7. Save the project in the boot logo maker. It will create a flashable zip file.
8. Extract the new logo.bin from that new zip, then flash it via fastboot (replace /path/to/logo.bin with the actual path to the new logo.bin you just extracted):
Code:
fastboot flash logo /path/to/logo.bin
I've uploaded a template logo.bmp file that you can edit and use for the moto maker to make your own custom greeting. If you want to make your own, skip step 2, and use the uploaded logo.bmp to edit as step 3. Dimensions for your custom image needs to be 1440x2560 pixels.
Credit
@Hashbang173 for creating the original logo restore.
@caitsith2 for the logo maker tool.
@vnphantom for figuring out how to retrieve your custom boot screen.
Thank you for this!
Mine is saying Not Found. Is there a way for me to just make my own with it saying whatever I want?

Sure. Simply make an image to replace it. I'm assuming any file format would work, but the one pulled from the phone was a BMP file with dimensions 1440x2560 pixels.
I'll upload a template to the OP.
I keep getting Failed at barcodes Produced file is 96889 Bytes Too Large. Already tried lowering down the image resolution to make file smaller but still no success. Any tips?

I am using this tool to create custom logos. You can also fully customize the battery charger and bootloader images (like the android with his belly open).
For the logo file I'm saving them as 1400x2560 24bit .png files. (but in the tool you can see the resolution for the other types.
1) Open the logo.bin from this thread.
2)Replace whichever images you want
3) Save as zip
4) take the bin file from the zip and flash it with fastboot... fastboot flash logo mylogo.bin

It finally worked by using jpeg and reducing the file to 85kb. Sadly the image looks kind of blurry on my phone

Mine worked at 191K. I read that the reason the default logo screens are mostly one color is to reduce size. So going with a circle of detail in the middle of rectangle of one color can help.

I guess that's why it was giving me issues, since I am not using a one color image. I just re-sized one of the icons in the picture and reduced the image to the same 85kb and it wont work again. Even by reducing it at 74kb. Ill attach the image in case you want to take a look at it

Try this one. Unzip it, then flash in fastboot.

Your dimensions were off. I simply stretched it out to the dimensions mentioned earlier. I've edited the OP to reflect dimensions for custom images.
When I pulled the logo, I saved the files as .png... and that's how I save my edits. .png is better at stretching/shrinking and not looking bad. My logo.bin file was 2.43/MB and had no problem..
Plus, I use paint.net to edit... it's free and you can do a lot of stuff with it.. .
Anyone willing to make a video of how to??

Decided to recycle an image I've been using since the HTC Vision days. Feel free to use it, just remember that I had to upload it in .jpg format.
Finally decided to root my phone and this was one of the first things i had to do.
I'm a huge kindgom hearts fan and FF7 fan so i had to get cloud as my boot image, after some snooping this is what i came up with. Feel free to use

I had the same thing happen when I stretched the image. I had to just leave the image centered. If you stretch it size of image increases and may be too big. I saved in .bmp, but png worked as well. Good luck.

Okily dokily. Here is how it worked for me using Photoshop.
Open a new image 1440 pixels X 2560 pixels, resolution 96px/in
Paste the image in, make changes etc. Make sure the image takes up all the room you want. You don't want to stretch it later.
Go to save as and choose jpeg.
Image options should pull up. Choose low quality. If it is over 100K use the slider to lower it even more. I'm not sure exectly where the cutoff is, but mine worked at 85.1k
Hey guys! I have an MTCD unit, but i wanted to post here to get as many eyes as possible. I'm trying to do a custom boot animation. I've never made one, but I think i have the gist of it. I go in to the factory settings, and select "bootanimation_dancing_droids.zip" for the ani, then go to root explorer and replace that file with my custom one, and name it the same. Then i change the permissions to 644.
From what i understand, this is the correct process. I think the problem may be in my actual zip file. I followed a guide, but when it boots up it just shows a green line in the upper corner. Could possibly be a part of one of the images, but nothing moves or anything. I even tried exporting it with the Boot Animation Factory app. It previews perfectly fine in there....but still doesn't work on the actual unit. I am going to link to the zip file, if you could have a look at it and let me know what I did wrong, i'd GREATLY appreciate it.
Battle Truck boot :

In case you're wondering, my truck is nicknamed Battle Truck, and i'm trying to theme the rom to match up with it. At some point, i'd like to learn how to play a sound that says "Battle Truck Engaged" when it boots up...don't know if that's possible though. THANKS AGAIN GUYS!

Make sure you save your animation.zip with compression method "Store". and I have when testing boot animations on 5.1 it sometimes doesn't work with bootanimation_dancing_droids.zip so I saved the animation.zip twice.
1 called bootanimation_dancing_droids.zip
2nd called bootanimation.zip
I'll try the thing with saving both of them. I have been using the store method I probably should have mentioned that.
