Make a folder named BOOTANIMATION in your sdcard.
Put any bootanimation.zip in that folder (only one at a time) no need to rename it.
download and extract the zip in the root of your sdcard
Run the Script (ATTACHED) in terminal emulator on your phone or in CMD on PC
If you are using CMD first type
adb shell and than type the below code
su
cd sdcard
sh ba.sh
your phone will reboot after running this script to make changes.
i put a window 7 bootanim in the zip for u to try the script..move it into bootanimation folder..
This script : -
1. will rename the bootanimation.zip placed in the bootanimation folder
2. will replace the bootanimation in system/media
3. will create backup of your original bootanimation to your sdcard.
tell me if its work for u since i only try it on slade rom..
reserved this one..
very useful and quick
awesome! and thanked!
This requires root and ADB knowledge. The method will work for any boot animation, reference Xoom forums for additional resources.
I'm not responsible if you brick your Galaxy Tab 10.1!!!!! This has only been tested on a USA White 16GB Galaxy Tab 10.1
ADB METHOD:
Code:
Download bootanimation.zip from the bottom of the post, and copy it to your directory where adb.exe is located. The included boot animation is a stock honeycomb from the Xoom animation.
adb push bootanimation.zip /sdcard/bootanimation.zip
Next, get into ADB shell and mount system as writeable:
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p4
Here is where it gets funny, in order to make the bootanimation.zip play correctly you will need to rename the program which calls the default animation to "playsoundBACKUP" and then copy/rename bootanimation to playsound. MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP JUST AS I TELL YOU TO:
cd /system/bin
mv playsound playsoundBACKUP
cp bootanimation playsound
Okay, now all that is left is to copy the bootanimation.zip to the proper directory:
mv /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
ROOT EXPLORER METHOD, thanks Berner:
Code:
Basically the steps in Root Explorer:
1. Copy bootanimation.zip to /sdcard (USB mount, dropbox, whatever).
2. Select /system/bin/playsound
(note - you'll need to set /system/bin as R/W here)
3. Rename to playsoundBACKUP
4. Select /system/bin/bootanimation
5. Copy/paste - new file will be named bootanimation - Copy
6. Rename bootanimation - Copy to playsound
7. Select bootanimation.zip whereever its located on .sdcard
(note - you may need to set /system/media as R/W here)
8. Move to /system/media/
TO REVERT:
Code:
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p4
cd /system/bin
rm playsound
mv playsoundBACKUP playsound
cd ../media
rm bootanimation.zip
Go ahead and reboot your tablet, and enjoy the boot animation. There are literally hundreds of animations available, and if you search through the Xoom forum you can download whichever.
Edit: Attached are the two files which are being manipulated, for those who accidentally delete playsoundBAK and want to revert. Note, "playsound" is the actual modified file where playsoundBAK is the original stock file.
Also too, the following animation is unbelievably awesome:

thanks for this ... fun to play with ...any link/intro to the animation file (video) format ? just curious if ican make one of my own ..

Instructions work fine. ADB not required -- everything can be done with Root Explorer. Thanks for the post.
Thanks for this, mang I've been dying to mod my boot screen!
it says failed cross device link...
actually i got it but i accidently delete the playsound can you hook me up with yours?
its weird, i still get the samsung bootloader........sits for a good minute then for like 5 seconds the stock honeycomb comes up and plays then lockscreen shows up. should the samsung screen be up that long if at all?

Hey man, if i'm doing this with root explorer what do i do with the playsoundBACKUP file in the /system/bin folder? His adb commands arent very clear if using root explorer. Also what do i do with the copied bootanimation playsound? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Keep the playsoundBACKUP in /system/bin so you can revert if you want. The copied (and renamed) bootanimation playsound also stays in /system/bin.
Basically the steps in Root Explorer:
1. Copy bootanimation.zip to /sdcard (USB mount, dropbox, whatever).

Very strange. I've never seen that error on any of the 30+ Android devices I've rooted.
Please confirm, are you on a 10.1 or 10.1v (as I really don't know the differences yet).
Please try the following:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p4
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip

Very cool man! Thanks for putting it in laymen's terms for dummies like me.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I can't get it o work. I've changed the files and copied the bootanimation.zip to /system/media. The original is gone however the bootanimation is just the default android boot. The one with "android" (i.e the animation we get when using the android emulator)
EDIT: Got it to work, just needed to set the permissions.
[X][X][X]
[X][O][X]
[X][O][X]
I would also like to know if there is a way to remove the initial samsung animation the one where the sound used to play. Since the new animation plays afterwards where the bland samsung logo used to play.
Same here......
I also get the original 'blue circling-Samsung' followed by the white 'SAMSUNG' letters on my screen...Then only do I see the HC bootanimation.
Also - only after I set the permissions to 755 - maybe you should include this in your OP ?
Thanks anyway!

I renamed the bootsamsung.qmg file to bootsamsung.backup and that seemed to get rid of it, but the custom animation still only shows for the few seconds when the tablet buzzes before the lockscreen comes up.
I viewed the zip file and that is not the one that plays I set permissions but still no honeycomb boot animation! any ideas? will this work on custom rom?
step 4,5,6
use rootexplerer but somehow lose in step 4,5,6 thanks
This is mainly for the users of my animations who were asking! - Have fun guys!
If you are rooted:
1. Download a root explorer app (ES File Explorer is suggested and free)
2. Enable root directory (in ES File Explorer hit menu, go to settings, and check "Up to Root", then go farther down and check "Root Explorer". Accept any Superuser requests.
3. Go back to your explorer and navigate to where you downloaded the "bootanimation.zip" file. Copy (or cut) it.
4. Navigate as far up as you can into your root directory, and then to /data/local/
5. Paste your "bootanimation.zip" file into /data/local/ (it MUST be named bootanimation.zip)
6. Reboot and enjoy!
Alternatively, you can put it in /system/media, HOWEVER, make sure you back up your stock bootanimation.zip (rename it to bootanimation.zip.bak or move it to your sdcard somewhere) in case something goes wrong.
If you are not rooted (or rooted, this method works with both)
**PC only! I'm not sure how to set the Max OSX terminal to accept "adb" commands by default!**
Setup:
1. Download the newest Android SDK
2. Click the start menu, right click "Computer", and click "Properties"
3. Click "Advanced System Settings" on the left (On Win7)
4. In the advanced tab, click "Environment Variables"
5. In the system variables window, find "Path", select it and click "edit"
6. At the end of the bottom line, paste:
For 64-bit users:
Code:
;C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
For 32-bit users:
Code:
;C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
7. Click OK.
Process:
1. Plug in your device using a USB cable and enable USB Debugging (in the settings menu under development on your device)
2. Click the start menu, and either search for "cmd" or click run, and type "cmd.exe"
3. Navigate to the folder that you downloaded the bootanimation.zip file to using the following commands:
Code:
dir - lists all files in the directory stated
cd - changes directory to the given path. If "cd ..", it will navigate one folder backwards.
4. Use the following commands (your file must be named bootanimation.zip)
Code:
adb pull /data/local/bootanimation.zip C:\
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
NOTE: Alternatively for part 2 you can type "adb push ", open windows explorer, and drag the file infront of the command which will give you the path without having to type it in or navigate to it.
5. Be patient, when it is done it will say something like "X kb/s (X bytes) in X seconds"
6. You can test to see if you did it correctly by rebooting manually or entering
Code:
adb reboot
7. If you no longer want a custom bootanimation, just enter
Code:
adb pull /data/local/bootanimation.zip C:\
Remember to look in your main HDD directory and delete the bootanimation.zip file if it in fact did show up there for some reason.
Note: if it STILL does not revert to the stock boot animation after doing this step, type
Code:
adb shell
cd /data/local
rm bootanimation.zip
**If you have adb problems or questions, I'm not the one to ask, Google is
Thank you for thanking me!
I was completely unaware you could change your boot animation unrooted, thanks

Thanks for this.
I thought it could not be done without a un-rooted Prime.
Thanks for this! Wasn't planning on rooting my Prime just yet and it's great that I can change the boot animation!
If you do copy a bootanimation.zip to the data/local directory do you have to do anything to the Original bootanimation.zip in the system/media Directory?

Make sure you've correctly done steps 3-7 of setup, otherwise cmd.exe will not know what to do with adb commands.

You probably do not have the fastboot installed in / usr / bin, copy the new fastboot and change the permissions as described in the post and test if working well.
Hi, I have been using Rom toolbox Lite for a while now and never had a problem, untill I got the "not so great" idea to change the heapsize in build.prop - after reboot the tablet is stuck on Loading - screenshot http://imageshack.com/a/img924/2306/BJbCT1.png
I have tried to reset, reset to factory default, to push back an old build.prop by ADB from prompt, tried the same from QtADB(0.8.0(newer 32bit not availble) - seems I have full access to all folders), even tried modifying the build.prop as root and start QtADB as root then copy it back - nothing has helped.
I have a complete backup(rom dump) made with uberizer, but since I'm not using windows anymore but instead Peach OSI(heavily modified Xubuntu). I'm not really sure what to do now.
My Minami M-750 DualCore A20(allwinner) tablets info is uploaded at specdevice long time ago as I were trying to find others with the same tablet:
http://specdevice.com/showspec.php?id=e5ba-9ce5-0033-c58700000000
It doesn't have custom Rom or custom recovery, but do have an option in recovery to update from external storage(where I can access internal sdcard and external sd) - update from ADB - update from cache.
Anyone have any suggestions?
With kind regards

EDIT: Thanks to this article below the problem is now solved.
Note: Step 1 . instead of Eclipse ADT download SDK command line tools https://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r24.4.1-linux.tgz
Follow this guide on how to install the SDK: https://androidonlinux.wordpress.com/2013/05/12/setting-up-adb-on-linux/
Step 3. Open a Terminal and shoot this command: —–Note: The “Android” in the command is the folder in which we extracted the SDK in.
cd ~/Android/sdk/platform-tools/
Edit build.prop using ADB
by Louis Matthijssen · July 26, 2014
There are many reasons why you may like to edit your build.prop file. I always edit it in order to lower my DPI, resulting in a bigger looking screen.
You can edit it on the device itself using a file manager or a build.prop editor but it may be more convenient to edit the file using a PC.
Please note that your device has to be rooted to edit the build.prop file.
Download and unzip the Eclipse ADT
Make sure your device has USB debugging enabled
Open a command prompt or terminal and cd to the platform-tools directory:
cd C:\adt-bundle-windows\sdk\platform-tools
Check if your device is recognized:
If it’s not you may install the Google USB driver and try again
adb devices
The device may ask you if the computer is trusted, choose yes
Restart ADB as root:
adb root
Remount /system as rw (read-write):
adb remount
Download build.prop to your pc:
adb pull /system/build.prop
Now you can edit build.prop using your favorite editor
Important: use a plain text editor! I recommend Notepad++ for Windows and Geany for Linux
Upload build.prop to your device:
adb push build.prop /system/build.prop
Fix permissions:
adb shell chmod 644 /system/build.prop
Reboot your device:
adb reboot
