Hi!
I'm from Uruguay South America and I'm an owner of a LG G2 Mini. I don't speak in english very well so I'm just gonna try beacuse I thing Google translator is worst than me.
I'm kind of seek with the bootanimation of my cellphone company (I don't mean LG) so as I did before in another ol Android that I have (Samsung GT-I5500) I tried to change the bootanimation.
As I know the boot animation folder is system/media and there it is... bootanimation.zip. For knowledge reasons, I copy bootanimation.zip in to my PC and extract it and surprisingly it was the original bootanimation from LG, not from my cellphone company.
With root explorer y search for "bootanimation.zip" and there is only 1 file with that name, the one I found, the LG bootanimation.
The question is, what the hell just happened? Why I'm not watching the original LG bootanimation when I turn on my phone? and where is the bootanimation working in my phone? how can I change my bootanimation if I can't even find it?
Thanks for any anwsrer and again sorry for my REALLY bad english
Is there any other file in /system/media/ ?
BTW, I also have a GT-I5500

Well, another folder with the audios, ringtones, etc.
Anyway i have found the solution by myself. The bootanimation.zip working in my phone is in cust/poweron (or poweroff for the animation when the phone turn off). So y copy de bootanimation.zip from system/media to cust/poweron and the same in shutdownanimation.zip in cust/shutdown and it works. I don't know if looking for any boot animation on the internet with the same resolution (540x960) and put it in that folder will work, I guess it does, because I don't see any difference, but I'm really scary about bricking my phone (I love it) so I'm not even gonna try. If someone wants to do it, by your own risk.

Is a big difference between the i5500 and the G2 mini, I'm still using both. I have 4 years with the i5500, I hope the LG stay with me at least 4 years too lol

I think it's not possible to brick the phone by changing bootanimation, anyway I have removed the animations from cust/poweron and poweroff and now my phone is using the ones found in system/media. And if u remove them completly then it boot with black screen or with android inscription flashing.
I've found in Google Play a bootanination changer app and in the comments I see a lot of people speaking about brick for using a wrong bootanimation resolution, I don't know how true it is.
These are pics of my g2 mini with cm boot animation and my nexus 7 with normal, too big and too small boot animations. I really can't imagine how to brick a device by changing them.

I think it's not possible to brick the phone by changing bootanimation. I found in my G2 mini hidden folder "data/.OP/ORG_COM/poweron/bootanimation.zip" and there I switched animations.
Yeah, you guys are right, I've changed the bootanimation so many times and nothing happened. But the battery of the G2 mini is really good, so you don't see the bootanimation too many times in a week lol
Any resolution possible?
Is it possible to use a bootanimation with a different resolution (480x800)?
@up
I probably had on his L5 bootanimations of the nexus and L7, although not visible in its entirety.

Okay so I found that I couldn't get the "droid" sound to stop on startup even when the phone is on silent. This annoyed me so I got to playing around with it and figured out how to keep it from doing so.
Made one small change in the bootanimation.zip file. I am a noob and this is a very minor, minor modification. But figured it may help someone else out.
here is the modified bootanimation.zip file....
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/31976911/bootanimation.zip
md5: 5bc43a30cbfb90b39befae3fd0aedd06
Installation (would be cool if I knew how to make update.zip)
1. Download file to phone.
2. Use root explorer and navigate to /system/media
3. Mount system as r/w
4. rename bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip.bak (so that you can get sound back if you want to later)
5. navigate to downloaded bootanimation.zip and copy or cut
6. navigate back to /system/media and paste bootanimation.zip
7. mount system at r/o
All done, now no more sounds at boot when phone is silenced.
Hope this helps anyone.
USE AT OWN RISK always wanted to say that.
Removing the sound was on my TO-DO List
this just made it easy for me - THANKs
This rocks! I like the stock Android animation over the red eye too
So if I read correctly the start-up sound will be muted or lower volume depending on what your phone volume is set to? That is pretty sweet. I like my bootanimation as it is, what modifications did you do for this to work? I'd like to do this, but keep my setup. Thanks! Solid idea.
I tried it, but all I got was a black screen during the boot process - no animation at all. I'm running the 2.3.3 Eclipse ROM. That may be the reason. My bootanimation file does not play the DROOOOOOID sound, but it has the CW7 Bionic Eye, which is way more ugly than the stock Droid eye. I would have liked the stock 2.3.3 google animation.
I may play with the zip files to see if I can swap out the animation. .... or what I'd REALLY like to have a copy of the VZW animation that Samsung uses if anyone has a copy of the file

DROID DOES, Apple did...like I forgot when
Found a cheap app thay will do the swap for you. Go into Play, search boot animation. The 1st choice is by andre shimsco or something similar to that.
Works great.

Ok this is not my creation full credit to Virtualsk the one who created the APK
I however had tested it and it works...on the P7510 ..
You have to be rooted i believe..
and after installing you just install the the fonts through the settings
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310044
It seems no changes from default, isnt it?
It is only a tiny bit different from the default SGT font, still different though.
Waste of time imo

Thanks, debby downer.
change is subtle but i can see the # 7 has changed...but subtle
Not sure if I'm using the same Roboto as you guys (installed from Font Installer Root) but the whole font is different...
roboto font totally different from galaxy default
Apk doesnt seem to work. I extracted the roboto.ttf file from the apk qnd installed the font using font changer app(root needed), and the result is a totally different font. Not sure if I will keep it, but definately worth trying out.

Roaming around other forums, it seems there are quite a few roboto fonts going around. This one I got from the nexus one forum, and seems slightly different from the op one here, at least it has separate ttfs for sans and sans-bold. I'm uping the original zip file for N1, and to use them on the SGT10.1 it probably better to extract then rename the ttf files(currently they are named so as to replace default droid font). I find myself preferring these, but regardless have fun with them.

I have no idea, mate. I'm totally ignorant about how cwm zip files are compiled and woukd not know if a flashable zip made for nexus one running gingerbread would work on a galaxy tab running honeycomb touxhwized. So I just extracted the font files ........
Now that we have root, has anyone changed their boooader animation? I went searching in the files and noticed it was not as simple as renaming a bootanimation.zip file.
I'm trying to add the good ol energy star bios screen on to mine, had the same on my evo.

You might want to change the name of your thread. This has nothing to do with the bootloader.
I tried to change the boot animation file with an old boot animation file from the razr. Didn't work, still got the same stupid boot animation. that file didn't cause a problem either

I did the same thing, only I just tried altering the original images from the normal boot animation. There seems to be more than one location for the boot animation than just the system/customize/resource file location. If anyone can find it, let us know. I'd love to start making some custom boot animations for everyone.

A boot animation? No, I just wanted to know where to put them to actually get them to work. I like to make my own, but am used to Motorola phones. It was just one file location for those boot animations and really easy to change.
It should be in system /media
I have an Evo, but I know on some Evo ROMs it's in data/local. (I think on CM 7 Evo roms). Hope this helps at all.

Well, there's bootanimation.zip in system/media and hTC_bootanimation.zip in system/customize/resource. If I change the hTC boot, nothing happens. If I change the regular boot in media, it's just the htc splash screen and then it all goes black. Luckily it still starts. Not sure what would happen if I change both of them. Kind of afraid to now, haha.
try this one in system/media....

The bootanimation is in the system/customize/resource folder. It's Vigor_VZW_bootanimation.zip there is also one more called hTCbootanimation.zip in there as well. This is the first I seen a two stage boot animation. The easy was to change is to replace the vigor one and name the new one the same. If you want to change the location you will need to edit the default.xml in the system/resource/CID folder. For instance my bootanimation for my Rom is in system/media/anim folder now. Ofcourse the anim folder is one I created.
One last thing, if you don't delete the hTCbootanimation. You will continue to see the HTC quietly brilliant animation after the splash screen.
Hope this sheds light on the whole topic.

Hmm I wonder if this is specific to Chingy's rom or not. It doesn't seem to play the boot animation and just sticks at the white HTC screen. Although the phone does vibrate once, and if you hit the power button it turns the screen off during the white htc screen. Then if you turn the screen back on it plays the bootanimation for a few seconds before going to the lockscreen. I do see the edits in the default.xml to search for the bootanimation in the /system/media folders. I went in and saw the htcbootanimation in the system/ccustom/resource so I deleted that. Thought maybe that would fix the issue, but no dice. I even edited the default.xml to see if changing the boot animation path to system/customize/resource made a difference. I posted on his thread already, but wonder if anyone else has any ideas in the mean time :x.
Edit: the stock boot animation works without an hitch.... Ima check some permissions and see if that does anything.
I've been trying out different ROMs and boot animations and a few times ago I noticed the animation was playing extremely fast. So I tried switching back to some old ones and even those were playing way too fast. Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
Bump for day time people
sense ROMs play bootanims faster than aosp ROMs. You can change this by adjusting the fps in one of the xmls but I can't remember which.
I've noticed this as well.

not in the xml(that i've ever seen,but i dont know everything,lol)but in the desc that comes with the bootanimation(if you unzip the animation(Sprint_bootanimation.zip not the flashable one if there is one) make sure when you zip it back up that you do so with zero compression
(ie store in 7zip) or black screen you will get

yeah i belive that has something to do with the downanime(but not 100% on that)
So I changed the boot animation (and its awesome) but can't seem to get the shut down animation to work (not sure if VZW G3 has one ), also I put the power on/power off sounds in the media/ui folder where it said (also where the G2 placed there) but don't hear them.. not sure if VZW G3 had power on/off sounds to begin with or if VZW has their own folder and/or name I need to put them in.
I changed all the permissions to 644 like thread said but I am stuck, please help, thank you.

I don't use shutdown animations or sounds but I've read on here that if you have an app like G3 TweakBox that alters your power menu, than shutdown animations will not work. Do you happen to have that going on?

No I don't have it installed.
Anyone know which folder the power on/off files are located on Verizon G3?
When I had the stock ROM. I downloaded a ring tone and named PowerOn.ogg and moved to system media audio, ui, fix permission and the sound work. But when I installed jasmine ROM the sound does not work and I had g3 tweakbox before too.
Can someone post the stock bootanimation, shutdownanimation, and power on/off sounds? I erased them and that might be the problem.
