Custom BootAnimations - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps

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:

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.

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

how to get these unsignedframework-res.apk ??
I tried it the method suggested by changing only the boolean variable for the screen animation and i went into a bootloop after replacing the framework-res.apk using adb. Though i had a backup of the old framework-res.apk i couldn't get root access in the bootloop so had to reflash the ROM. Better keep a backup before trying this.

[script]change bootanimation..

[Script] Change bootanimation
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!

Hello
This doesn´t work for CM7.
The app does a FC..
I installed vsuite 4.0 and it worked fine, but It just works with english commands. I would like to chang it to portuguese.
Maybe this ZIP is installing / overwritting the old version.
Do you think it´s possible to get only the language files for V4.0 ?
install from zip
I cant install from the zip file on my pantech break out, i get a signature error
can someone pls reupp this? thx.
Confirmed, not working. Installed in Neutrino 2.8. CWM did not install anything at all. Did manually, but still FC's...
However, I had a cwm backup of my earlier rom, from where I extracted the respective files, copied them manually to /system folder, fixed permissions, and it started working.
The extracted files can be downloaded here. I used ES File Explorer with root access enabled to copy files, but any file explorer such as Total Commander, Root Explorer, etc., can be used.
1. Download and unzip above file to your external or internal storage in a temp folder.
2. Copy VSuiteApp.apk file from system/app in unzipped folder to /system/app folder on your device
3. Copy nuance folder from system/etc in unzipped folder to /system/etc folder on your device
4. Copy libvsuite_mot_vs32_cmb103.so file from system/lib in unzipped folder to /system/lib folder on your device
5. Copy nuance folder from system/tts in unzipped folder to /system/tts folder on your device
6. Fix permission on all copied files (individual or in folders copied over) to rw- r-- r--.
7. Reboot, and hopefully it will work.
Thanks you unikorn.
This solution is not working for me on SGS2 (Lightning 6.1 - 2.3.4)

that's because it is meant for Atrix 4G, not SGS2. Lib file is specifically for Atrix hardware. If you can find lib file for SGSII somewhere (may be from stock rom image), it might work for you. No harm in trying I guess

Thanks! This worked for me! Although it did FC at first. I went in and set permissions on each file and folder I copied to rwx rwx rwx, and than it ran fine. Not sure rwx is needed across the board like that, but at least it worked.
I am on TopSmarts 1.2 ROM.
Oh, and in case someone needs help view in the system folder, I referenced this http://androidforums.com/optimus-v-...9-guide-es-file-explorer-root-operations.html
Hmmmm, strange. I myself flashed TopSmarts 1.2 a few days back, so did the same procedure as I posted above. Worked fine for me. Don't know why you got that problem. But anyway, glad that it worked for you in the end. Cheers.
FC on my ATRIX with CM 7.2 ROM
I've set the permission to rw- r-- r-- to all files and directories I've copied to the system direcotry
I've only copied part of the tts files ('enus' and 'frfr' ones).
I follow the steps, fixed permission from rw- r-- r-- FC, rwx rwx rwx FC and back to rw- r-- r--. But app FC, even get a pop up at startup saying the app closed.
Disabled Cyberon Voice Command, and Voice Dialer but no luck so far.
I'm on AOKP (4.1.2) perhaps is meant to work in 2.3.6?

[How To] How To Install a Boot Animation (Rooted AND Non-Rooted)

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.

What specifically are you having trouble with?
Section 7 and down. I am not that dos smart to understand what you substitute in the cmd screen and I don't even know if my zip file is correct. I had it on my desktop then in c: adk\tool folder but I can't get any further than completing line 6 set up. Compressed with no compression using winzip.
And I really don't know if my txt file is correct?? My image size is 960 x 540
Using a Razr Maxx. site won't let me download the win zip file

I'm not really sure how exactly I can help you, I'd go over the guide a few more times and google your problem.
I need specific problems like errors or what you don't understand.
Also, I don't know the size for a Droid Razr, but you can probably find it via a quick search.
I get lost here
Process:
1. Plug in your device using a USB cable and enable USB Debugging (in the settings menu under development on your device) OK
2. Click the start menu, and either search for "cmd" or click run, and type "cmd.exe" OK
3. Navigate to the folder that you downloaded the bootanimation.zip file to using the following commands:
Code: LOST RIGHT HERE WITH THE PROPER COMMAND
dir - lists all files in the directory stated
cd - changes directory to the given path. If "cd ..", it will navigate one folder backwards.
what command do I put in in cmd at this point?
dir - lists all files in the directory stated
cd - changes directory to the given path. If "cd ..", it will navigate one folder backwards.
and then:
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
what is this command above??
Where do I save my boot zip file to??

Ok, so, for example, if your file is in user/Fred/Documents and named bootanimation.zip, then you need to type:
Code:
cd users
then
Code:
cd Fred
then
Code:
documents
then type
Code:
adb pull /data/local/bootanimation.zip
Then
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
part of the problem may be that I have a mac and use windows under parellas so the files are not the same
in c: Users\DT\Documents DOCUMENTS IS WHERE ZIP FILE IS LOCATED
get error message: "adb" is not reconized as an internal or external command operabtle program or batch file

Then you didn't follow steps 2-7 correctly.
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.
This guide is for windows, if you're having problems getting it to work on Mac or a virtual Windows machine, I'm sorry but I can't help you.

New Custom BootSound and Instructions

Credit's go to Eollie and ricspeed From AndroidCentral where I found the information below
The oroginal post can be seen here
http://forums.androidcentral.com/optimus-v-rooting-roms-hacks/114730-how-boot-sound.html
The bootanimation is the stock animation for the XT912
I have a XT910 so I put it in the folder for other XT910 users
I did a bit of chopping and splicing for this bootsound, hope you enjoy it
If you're like me and had no audio on boot here's the steps made noob proof from the post above
Make sure you're rooted
extract folder and place files on either internal or external sdcard, just make sure it's in the root folder (not within any folders)
Install RootBrowser
Grant SuperUser Permissions
go to location of files (sdcard or sdcard-ext)
menu > Multi-select
select bootanimation.zip and RazR-CusT-BooT.ogg
Copy
go to /system/media/
long press bootanimation.zip and select rename
rename it to bootanimation.zip.bak
paste
log press RazR-CusT-BooT.ogg and select copy
go to /system/media/audio/notifications/
paste (I also had a notifications2 folder, I pasted it there as well)
Go back to sdcard or sdcard-ext (wherever you saved the files)
long press init.local.rc
go to /system/etc/
rename init.local.rc to init.local.rc.bak
paste
make sure permissions are set to rw-rw-rw
(if not long press and edit permissions)
Go to /system/ and open build.prop
open with text editor
look for ro.config.play.bootsound=1
delete entire string
menu "save and exit"
reboot
There still shouldn't be any bootsound
Install Android Terminal Emulator
Grant Superuser permission
open android terminal emulator
type the following
su (enter)
cd /sdcard (if placed on internal sdcard) (enter)
cd /sdcard-ext (if placed on external sdcard) (enter)
sh bootsnd.sh (enter)
(ignore any errors)
reboot - you have sound now
Optional - I also included a ringtone that I made that I personally like
you can place it in /system/media/audio/ringtones/ to be able to select it natively

Just Audio
If anyone wants just the audio without all the other stuff here you go
Like I said, the boot audio timing is made to work with the stock XT912 bootanimation
