Does anyone have a working bootanimation.zip without the AT&T logo? I tried editing the original one but I ended up with a blank boot animation screen.
you should be able to search the forum for whatever boot animation you want. Granted they won't be the proper resolution if you pick one with black edges you will be fine. I was using one on a previous flash just fine.
I'll try to find the thread where I found mine

sweet, so exisiting bootanimations work, I can use my old one again haha.

I tried those animations and they worked fine, but I still wish I could keep the original animation.
Boot Animations, while can be tricky and a headache, are customizable if you can adjust the image sizes, etc.
For example, the Motorola Atrix can use up to 540x960 for the resolution. You can also add custom sounds at load by saving an OGG audio file to /system/media (same location as the bootanimation.zip) and adding it accordingly to the desc.txt file. Below is an example.
Code:
540 960 1
p 1 10 part0
s autodestruct.ogg
p 0 0 part1
The first line is the resolution and the frames per second.
Code:
"540 960" Resolution "1" Frames Per Second (each individual image)
The second line defines a Part. For example, the first animation you want to play. So far for me, this is the animation AFTER the Dual Core logo that plays when I've made mine.
Code:
"p" Depicts this is a Part "1" Repeat this many times (0 is infinite) "10" is the delay in frames before the next Part "part0" is the directory within the zip to load this part from
So far easy right? The next line, is for the audio file. If the OGG has a loop point, the audio will loop until the Part is over that it plays within.
Code:
"s" Depicts a sound "autodestruct.ogg" The filename to load from /system/media
A few more examples of loading parts............
To load a Part that is a single image, that loops till boot is done, use this
Code:
p 0 0 "directory_name_here"
I'll try to post some example bootanimation.zip files with explanations if I get time. I've only made a couple so far for my company out of boredom.

So this doesn't break anything? Will I be able to update my phone when an update is out, without having to restore the original bootanimation.zip?

I recommend using your file explorer to rename the original bootanimation.zip on your phone to something like bootanimation_original.zip then put in your custom if you have any worries.
That way, if you go to update just rename custom to bootanimation_custom.zip and restore the original.
Personally, I do not know if the boot animation file will affect updates, but that is a failsafe for you just in case.

Ohh, so what you want is the default bootanimation without the ATT part!
I've personally never worked with bootanimations before, but using MrSER's guide above, i'll try to do that for you.
EDIT: yea... I only get the blackscreen too, really weird...
EDIT 2: figured it out. if you're using WinRAR, when you go to make a .zip, choose "store" instead of "normal" compression, and it should work just fine. I have attached the Default bootanimation.zip without the ATT part

My bad mate, forgot to mention that. I make mine with Winzip 15 Pro and set it to No Compression (from my experience, no compression is a requirement).
I may end up doing a tutorial on all this on my blog. If I do, I'll post a copy here and link as well (I like screenshots on my blog, lol).

Yea i ended up googling and it showed that if the .zip is compressed it will just show a blank screen.
Definitely do a tut, I really wanna start making some Atrix boot animations

thanks for the bootanimation.zip, i did chmod 644 it before cp to /system/media to match the perms on the original bootanimation.zip, but i did a reboot and it worked fine. it's nice not having the att logo during boot, and having att removed from the notification bar with the ginerblur mod too. feels good man!
What folder do you put the animation in?

In the system/media folder.
I know this is a really newb question but I am a newb when it comes to android... I've owned my Atrix for about a week. Anyway, how do I replace this file and where do I find it?

Just find a boot animation that you like, download the zip file, rename it to bootanimation.zip and then go into your system/media folder and change the name of the current bootanimation to anything you want like bootanimationold.zip. Then put the new zip file in the system/media folder and there you go. You do not need to move the old boot animation file as long as you change the name.
of course, the method I'm describing is relevant if you have rooted your phone and you have something like Root Explorer, otherwise you will need to use adb, but still you need root.

Thank you so much man I really wanted to remove this AT&T animation
im having a similiar problem on my rooted atrix. I tried to change my bootanim and just gives me a black screen, so i tried to change it back to the orignal and nothing. I checked if the zip was compressed and it isnt. i dont know what i did wrong, i didnt touch anything but the zip
does some one succeded to change boot animation ?
Yes, i found a nice guide somewhere in a thread in this forums. Sry, but can't remember where, maybe you can find it by using the search ;-) .
the problem is that zip file dont work for sga
The tutorial i folled, worked by moving and copying some files in the filesystem (root needed)...
I'll search it tomorrow if you/no one else finds a link to the guide.

That one works only with Froyo.
i all ready try this method dont work for me.
i am using 2.2.1 rooted.
Try tutorial in this thread change your bootanimation zip to custom animation
uman01 said:
hello guys i want to share how to change your bootanimation zip to custom animation,
im currently still using froyo, so if you use custom rom the steps might be different,
but should work for GBKPE too,
i download the bootanimation files from this thread
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905538
here's the steps :
things u need :
-ROOTED ACE
-ROOT Explorer installed or similiar app
-rename the animation you download to "bootanimation.zip"
-paste the bootanimation.zip you downloaded into your sdcard,anywhere is fine
-use root explorer open the system/bin
-look for the "samsungloop" file, move it to your sdcard first, just in case, you can either move it or copy it again to another place, (in my case, i copy it into system/ and another to my sdcard)
-go to system/bin ,look for "bootanimation", and rename it to "samsungloop", if you use ROOT explorer, don't forget to change the previlege first, change R/W permission first to R/O,,,(the bootanimation is not the file where you rename your animation you downloaded to be bootanimation.zip)
-put the "bootanimation.zip" (the file you downloaded and rename it's names) to
system/media
-in system/media, there are 2 files if i'm not mistaken, bot of the files are with the extension .qmq, just rename it with root explorer to .qm extension file
-reboot your galaxy ACE
-done
if you follow my steps well, you should see your animation after reboot, if it's just a blank screen, then you do some mistakes in the steps,
feel free to ask if you still don't understand , sory for my bad english though

EDIT: BOOTANIMATION ENABLED IN CM6 0.30, Directory moved to system/media
The boot animation in CM6 floyo-0.25 by racht had been disabled.
To enable it, follow these simple steps... or Se-Lifestyle
This is the ONLY way to enable it and ONLY for ROMs which bootanimation was disabled in build.prop
Thanks deedii for confirming the boot animation's location.
(Use root explorer)
1. Edit build.prop.
Go to /system/build.prop in root explorer.
Long press the file and choose "open in text editor"
Go to the last line and u will see:
Code:
debug.sf.nobootanimation=1
change it to:
Code:
debug.sf.nobootanimation=0
Do the same for /system/bin/build.prop
Root explorer will automatically backup the files for u with the name "build.prop.bak"
Note: -You can also copy the file to sdcard, connect to pc via usb, edit in notepad, save, replace the edited one with the original one.
-Not sure the 2 files are same, for safety, do them individually.
2. Upload boot animations.
Put the bootaniamtion.zip into:
/data/local/
(!) /system/media/ will not work
(!) make sure the boot animation is correctly made.
3. Reboot and done!
About how to make boot animation:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1096068
Important notes u have to know : http://se-lifestyle.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=5947
Both build.prop's are the same. At least in MiniCM and Froyobread. I have't done any editing using Racht's ROM

i dont think it will work as the boot animation is disabled in build.prop
even build.prop editor cannot enable it, must do manually.
otherwise the app u mentioned can edit the build.prop?

im not sure. this topic is for racht's floyo 0.25 only.
Other ROMs maybe use /system/media/ directory, dont have to enable bootanimation as its not disabled.
Also you can test bootanimation in adb shell by typing this:
# cd /system/bin/
# bootanimation

the command cd /system/bin/
so the bootanimation.zip has to be in bin folder? or media folder? or data/local folder?

No it will run correct in use bootanimation so if you disable bootanimation like in your tut it will run it from /data/local/
I only get the part0 animation showing but not the part2 on floyo.025. I used 9 png images for part1. Seems that there's no time after the 3 png's in part0. Black screen and then comes the initial PIN request. Checked for .db files left in but none exist

Hello Y'all!
I've created a bios-like boot animation for our wildfire:
The idea came from frysee (original thread here), but I've build all the files myself.
There are two way's to put it on your phone:
With the use of ADB:
1. place the attached bootanimation.zip in the tools folder of adb
2. open the command prompt and cd to the tools folder
3. type "adb shell" and press enter
4. type "mv <path-to-bootanimation>/bootanimation.zip <path-to-bootanimation>/bootanimation.old" and press enter
for example: mv system/media/bootanimation.zip system/media/bootanimation.old
-> now you have a backup of your original boot animation
5. exit
6. type "adb push bootanimation <path-to-bootanimation>" and press enter
for example: adb push bootanimation system/media
7. type "adb shell bootanimation" and unlock your screen. You should see the new bootanimation. Press ctrl+c to stop.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
New to adb -> link!
You can also replace your bootanimation by using a root explorer:
frysee said:
store on root of SD card
open root explorer make sure to make R/W
go to SDCard and copy file
navigate to bootanimation path (*)
rename bootanimation.zip to something else (bootanimation1.zip)
paste file and rename bios_bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip, if necessary
exit root explorer
reboot phone
Profit = Enjoy Bios boot animation!

Click to collapse
What is the right path to you bootanimation?
frysee said:
The right path for your bootanimation differs between devices and even ROMs, so it is hard to list the right one for every setup.
However, you should be able to track down the right one by looking for an existing bootanimation.zip using Root Explorer or ADB.
Most likely it will be one of the following:
/system/media (try this first)
/system/customize (some Evo ROMS seem to use this one)
/data/local (should work an nearly all ROMs, as long as there is no bootanimation on /system)
Click to expand...

I can only tell that on cyanogenmod 7, the boot animation is indeed stored in system/media.
When you are on a stock rooted Froyo ROM, you can folow the explanation of laraz (thank you for this, laraz!):
laraz said:
store on root of SD card
open root explorer make sure to make R/W
go to SDCard and copy file hold down on file you wont and choese copy
navigate to bootanimation path (#)froyo system>customize>rescource- paste over exsting bootanimation.zip done
rename bootanimation.zip to something else (bios_bootanimation.zip)
exit root explorer
reboot phone

The speed of the animation is adapted to my phone: normaly I can only see it untill "activation root access SUCCEEDED", then I can enter my pin.
To adapt the speed of the animation to your phone/ROM, you can change the frames per second:
1. extract bootanimation.zip in the attachment
2. open desc.txt in notepath or similar program.
3. you see the folowing
Code:
240 320 4p 1 0 androidp 0 0 part1
the third number (in this case "4") is the frames per second.
4. adapt ONLY the third number to the desired amount of frames and save the file.
5. put android, part1 and desc.txt again in a zip-file. Make sure that YOU DO NOT USE ANY COMPRESION or it will not work!!!! (in WinRAR: use "compresion method: store")!!
6. Now you can try your new bootanimation!

(i think that this makes it default to a completely.stock android animation, i have never been able to find where that is stored, it just shows the word "android" written in a greenish color,.slightly shimmering, i enjoy it.

Get root explorer and make sure you have root permissions. Also make sure the folder bootanimation.zip is in had RW permissions.
