[Q] shutdown animation

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!

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.

[Q] how to change SE x10i bootlogo?

hi guys
couldnt find anything via search i want to add a custom boot logo to my SE x10i is there a easy way like an app or software that does that ? so i can add change the boot logo to my own custom logo
Boot animation available on market let's you change it to a pre selection of boot animations if you have root. As for creating your own, you can. But I'm not good at describing the process. Still its not very hard with some research. You will need to create your own sequence of png images and edit some tables to say how long each picture will be shown, the end result must be zipped without compression, it's then stored in the system/media folder under bootanimation.zip. if you have time then copy this to you sd card and then to your computer, it will give you an idea of what you need to do. Hope this helps

I don't recall any threads on this, but the kernels like overstock and tigers blood do... Perhaps pm them?
THERE is a way.
You can change it to whatever picture you want.
Its a bit advanced but theres a program for it.
I'll give when I get back from school.
Getting late
Thanks can't wait to try

There are 2 splash images. One hard coded into the kernel (only changeable through kernel source then recompiling the kernel) and the splash image located in the param.lfs partition.
So changing the param.lfs splash image won't get rid of the kernel splash image.

Change it to what? Do you want to make your own splash screen or just use one from another ROM that you liked?
If its using one from another ROM...its easy....
Download RootExplorer.
Open it and go to the "system" folder. then look for the "/media" file (/system/media) then look for the file called "bootanimation.zip"
That is the boot splash screen file.
If you want one from another ROM.
USE YOUR COMPUTER and open the ROM.zip file you want (bionix1.3.1.zip or sweethoney25.zip) could be any ROM.
Now navigate to the same folder "system\media" and copy the "bootanimation.zip" to you desktop.
Now plug your phone to your computer and copy the bootanimation.zip to your phone....anywhere is good just remember where you put it.
Now unplug your phone and open RootExplorer. Find the "bootanimation.zip" you just copied to your phone and long press it.
Choose the "move" option.
Now go to the "system\media" folder....long press the bootanimation.zip in that folder and choose "delete"...now paste the other bootanimation.zip into this folder.
Reboot!
Viola...you have your bootanimation.
If you want the stock Galaxy bootanimation...just use Rootexplorer and delete the file "bootanimation.zip" from the "system\media" folder and reboot! (this option only works if you see two different files in the folder named samsungboot.qmg and samsungbootloop.qmg...as those are the files for stock bootanimation)
::if this helps feel free to thank me""
Not the bootanimation the splash image at the begining I know how to change bootanimations. The image before the bootanimation. On htc phones you can change that along with the boot

Sorry guys, I know how to fix it, and change it to any image wanted...
I saw a video on it and tried on my phone and worked while on 2.2
The video is on mobile tech videos or something, but you need to go to their website for software and everything.
I haven't been to a computer in 4 days ,its broken, so I'll try to post link when I can.
Great Info Thank You
Here is a youtube link. The video states only for i9000, but the website has files for the t959 (vibrant) and the process is the same. I have successfully used this method. On my vibrant. Also attached is the image I flashed if you want it.

Boot animation

I know this is probably not the right place to post this, but I am trying to figure out how to install a boot animation on my vibrant. I have cm7 installed and found a forum that helped but all I get is a black screen or the plain android logo. I used super manager and moved the zip file to /system/media. And set the permissions to what it told me to. When I reboot nothing. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated. I have become quite savvy with my phone. Thanks.

You didn't exactly say this but, is the file named simply bootanimation.zip? Not talking down but trying to help. Other than that seems good.
The original file was named bootanimation.zip and I found a transformers one that I wanted and it was named bootanimation_transformers.zip. I tried leaving the file name, got the android logo. Renamed it and got a black screen.

search the Vibrant forum on custom boot animations... download a flashable zip boot animation file from one of the great devs on here then swap your images in place of theirs, re-zip it and flash it with CWM... worked for me like a charm!
One question, how do I replace images? Super manager won't let me unzip files. Do I need to use the PC for that or is there a simpler way?

My vote goes to PC
I used PC for everything as well...
Unzipped and re-zipped with 7zip and modded images with Gimp...
Thanks, I will give that a try when I get home and let you if it worked. Just to maybe clarify. Would I have to unzip both the original file and the new file and replace the new files with the original file and rezip and put back? Cause that is what I am going to try.
