Is it possible to run a custom bootscreen on the Samsung Vibrant via stock ROM? I am operating off a stock rom (UVKA7) and the link below mentioned compatibility with running a custom boot animation. Problem is, I am having a hard time getting this to work.

The page mentions copying over bootanimation.zip to /system/media/ folder but I find no file in this folder, in fact, it appears the annoying boot screen is a bunch of images.
posible, yes
you would need to download a handpicked bootanim.zip. use super make sure to use R/W(from settings at main) and drop in in the system/media folder.
But this is only achievable through a rooted device
im wondering if it it would be possible to find where they are booted and change the file path location to read another type of file, say a .zip like everyother phone?
I am wondering the same thing. I understand that you can replace the kernel to achieve the same effect. But is there an other way that would not depend on kernel modification...
system/media/bootani.qmg
Which is utterly useless since no one can compile or decompile a .qmg file.
Hi everyone,
I'm using a cheap Android 4.0.3 tablet. It is a pre-rooted device and i am
able to browse the file system. I have read somewhere that the initlogo.rle
file is the encrypted logo. So I tried to replace/delete it to no effect. It
seems to be regenerated.
I also tried to set a constant/property in init.rc to try and disable the
boot logo and also no effect, the init.rc file seems to be regenerated as
well.
Is there a standard/effective way to replace this manufacturer logo?
Or at least disable it?
Many thanks in advance, I've searched through other posts but they
were mostly left unanswered or not applicable to my situation.

The init.rc file is located in the ramdisk and not writable from the booted system,
so you have to extract-edit-store-repack it from there.

There are lots of how-to-edit-your-boot-logo, just use the search button. "editing initlogo.rle" is a good start.
However... If you want to disable a boot animation easily, I would go for the /system/build.prop file.
This contains some of the system settings/properties.
Add the following line:
Code:
debug.sf.nobootanimation=1
Then save, close and reboot. Hopefully, you'll notice a difference. Good luck!
Thanks, editing build.prop disabled the bootanimation, so that was great.
However it does not disable the manufacturer logo display, which I
wanted to disable in the first place. It would have been great to find
something like a
debug.sf.nobootlogo property though.
I've browsed through a lot of posts, articles suggesting the
extract-edit-store-repack approach, but it's just far too much
trouble for me to go through just to turn the logo off.
Also, it's my first device, so still worried about bricking.
Well, it took me some time to get interested in digging deeper into Android hacking.
Anyway...
If you want to get further with Android development, I would advise you to unlock the bootloader - but remember to make a complete backup of your device. Nandroid or nanddump are preferable and can be performed, since your device is rooted.

Hello everyone
After changing my boot sound (from a chinese one to the stock huawei one) when everything went ok!
then i changed the boot animation (again from a chinese to a normal one) but i lost the boot sound!!!
I did all these by just renaming the old files (bootSound.ogg and bootanimation.zip, bootanimationex.zip) and copy the new ones to the same exact folders not with TWRP or something else.
Why this happens?! Inside my original bootanimation.zip the file desc.txt does not contain any information about the sound like s sound.ogg or something like that???
Can you explain me why this happened !? and how can i fix it!
Thank you!
iam trying to change the boot logo and the boot animation. can someone help me get this bootup.bmp packaged to logo.img. I also need some assistance with the bootanimation.zip. not sure why it wont load the animation of one of my android boxes. i uploaded the original files and the fixed file. please let me know if any errors are spotted in the bootanimation.
everything is packed into the zip
thanks in advance.
here is the file
