[SOLVED] Boot Animation Question - Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0

In general, will disabling boot animation result in faster boot up? If so, I'm using BeanStalk with Nova Launcher (and LOVING it - Thanks Meticulus). Would I delete (or move to another location to put it back) the /system/media/bootanimation.zip file to do it? Or is there a more user friendly way of disabling it? I did look around and couldn't find a setting that would do it. Thanks in advance

Afaik, In general, yes you will get a faster boot up by disabling the bootanimation. You can rename it, move it or delete it to disable it. The stock "Android" boot animation should play...

Bootanimation.Zip
Thanks for your reply Meticulus...
I use ES File Explorer, and tried moving, renaming, and deleting that file, but it won't let me. I looked at its properties, and it shows that I have read & write access to it.

This is the same issue that plagues build.prop editing and, Viper4Android. It's remounting /system read/write. You should be able to "adb root" then "adb remount" ...:good:

Bootanimation

So I posted this previously a few hours ago and I got forwarded to the "how to" guide by jaekar99 from androidcentral on two ways to install bootanimation.
Flashing didnt' work because the zip wasn't designed for cwm.
I tried the root explorer method, and copy / pasted to my system\media root on my fascinate.
Both did not work.
I've searched long and hard for a fix but I've been drawing up blanks.
Can someone help? Thanks!
What kernel are you using? You have to have a kernel that supports custom boot animations.
Yes, you'll need to post up your setup to get help on this. Some kernels are able to change boot animation, some are not.
Also need to know what you are placing in there for boot animation - one of the ones floating around or custom?
Swyped on my Fascinate - please excuse any swypo's...

I'm running frankenclean 2.9.2. voodoo with the pb&j kernel.
And the bootanimation I'm trying to run is that decepticon bootanimation.
I can't post links yet =/
Basically I flashing the bootanimation didn't work because it wasn't made for that, so I tried the alternative method and tried to copy \ paste it to the system \ media folder, but nothing happened.
Is the animation you're referring to the one where pieces come together to form the decepticon logo? I found it here at Android Forums:
http://androidforums.com/motorola-droid/29230-decepticon-droid-boot-animation.html
If so, I did try that out on my phone (SC 2.8 with JT's EC10 kernel) and it worked perfectly. I know that JT's EC10 kernel isn't exactly the same as the PB&J kernel, but it is the base for PB&J. I doubt imnuts would have removed this feature.
The other thing I can think of is that /system/ wasn't mounted as R/W when you tried to put the animation in there. Doing a search on it this morning, it looks like there are some issues with Root Explorer not correctly mounting /system/ as R/W. Some possible fixes mentioned were select R/O, then select R/W again or remove Root Explorer from the Superuser remembered list.
I personally use Super Manager, not Root Explorer. I have had no issues with it mounting /system/ as R/W. You could use Super Manager right now until the issue with Root Explorer is fixed or you find a good work around (like mentioned above).
Did you rename it to bootanimation.zip?
If you're trying to paste into /system/media you need to make sure /system is mounted as r/w as it is read-only by default. Probably why nothing happened when you tried to paste it there.

That's exactly what it was. I could've sworn I put on r/w both times I tried this previously, but apparently I didn't.
Funny thing was, both times when I wasn't in r/w mode, it at least visually showed that I pasted the file there. I even went back into root explorer to double-check.

[GUIDE] Correctly using Root Explorer to manually replace modded/stock system files

Here is the correct way to use root explorer for manually replacing system files:
1. Mount the system as r/w (read/write) per the top right corner. Navigate to the file that you plan to replace (e.g., system/framework/framework.jar).
2. Copy (not move) the file and paste it somewhere on your SD card (internal or external, doesn't matter - as long as you can locate it in case you need to put it back). Rename the file you just pasted, but very subtly. For example, when renaming framework.jar, I would only throw something in front of the file name, such as "Backup - framework.jar", so I can easily distinguish it from the new file if I put them in the same spot.
3. NANDROID BACKUP!
4. Download/put on your sd card (whatever you do) the new file that you want to replace the old one with.
5. Move the new file to /system (not in a subfolder yet). Here you will change the permissions, which is crucial to avoid FCs and problems. In root explorer, you would long press the file, press permissions, and set them to whatever the old file's permissions are. This may require going to verify what they are before starting this step. For example, in a lot of cases, the permissions will be RW-R-R. In Root Explorer, this would mean checking the first two boxes on the first line and only the first box on the next two lines. In any situation, confirm that the permissions you see after you've changed them (right below the file name) match exactly what you're replacing.
6. Ensure that your new file is correctly named to exactly what it is replacing (case actually matters) and double check the permissions.
7. Move your new file to the folder, root explorer will ask if you want to replace the file. Confirm.
8. Back out of root explorer and immediately reboot.
No force closes, no problems .
It may seem like a lot to someone who doesn't do it often but for me, I actually do this method faster than any other and fly through it every time. I got tired of seeing people explain ways to use Root Explorer which result in bootloops, FCs, etc. without fail. So, I decided to put an end to it.
Great post Simba501! Thank you for this...
Obviously a "noob" thing I'm over-looking but when I try and paste the file I'm moving into /system it's prompting me that it's "read-only"?

Those are only for flashing purposes. Not needed if you're not flashing it. You only need to pull everything besides that folder and place them appropriately.
Using this method resulted in "app not installed" tried it with black Google search box, and just now with Mms.apk rw-r--r-- backed up old one, but method didn't work... had to nandroid last time because phone wouldn't let me install backup or market version. Looks like I'm in for it again. fudge. what went wrong?
System folder was r/w and moved apk into system/app said OK to overwrite and used hard key back button to exit root explorer. Hard key power button and selected reboot within 1-4 seconds of moving apk over system app.

You don't install it after placing it. Placing it in the folder does install it. If you put it there, ensure the permissions are correct, and reboot, it should work.
EDIT: I don't see any mention of setting the permissions, so that was probably the issue. Again, no need to "install" it; just put it in the appropriate folder and set the permissions.

I did state the permissions. It's in your quote lol. Your method caused my phone to say app not installed. I had trouble getting the default app back after your method failed. Why didn't it work? I'm telling you I followed it to a T.

If the apk is compatible, it will work. At no point should you get an "application not installed" prompt, unless you attempted to manually install it at some point. If it wouldn't work, it just wouldn't appear in the app drawer: no prompt.
I guess this should be mentioned in the OP, but some times, clearing data of the application may be necessary after finishing. Usually a force stop at the most will allow you to see changes (which is why the steps include a reboot). You've piqued my interest. Post the files of question and I'll see if they work on my device. There was a similar issue someone else was having; I told him to redownload the apk and that was the problem. Some kind of botched file/download.

It fails if attempting to create it within Root Explorer. You could use other means though (on a PC, an edited ROM zip, or potentially another root file manager). But again, no real reason to: other than for development purposes, perhaps. I'm no developer though, so I can't say.

Borrowing bootanimation.zips from the Galaxy Nexus..

So I wanted an appropriately shiny boot animation for my newly Fresh-rommed Evo, and I found this page:
http://droidmodderx.com/galaxynexus/how-to-install-100s-of-bootanimations-for-your-galaxy-nexus (Full of previews, will bog your computer down!)
That phone has the same screen resolution, 720 x 1280, so most of these seem to work for me. I didn't bother with flashing them from recovery, as the bootanimation.zip file can be easily extracted and placed in /system/media using Root Explorer. Your mileage may vary. I am using Spyro at the moment, nice ICS-ish colors.
SOME of them did not work, or rather they worked, with intermittent flashes of a white screen..I am not sure but suspect it's something to do with frame rate? Anyone?
Updates.................
Directories: Your individual rom maker may have put the animation package in one of several locations. These include:
/system/media
/system/customize/resource
/data/local
I have seen still other locations used on my old EVO 4G (and new roms are coming out all the time), so if you just cannot find anything, try doing a search for 'animation.zip' from the root level, with your file browser.
Filenames: Your rom maker may have used one of several slightly different name variants for the bootanimation.zip package; it really depends on what they started out with as a base. Sense-based roms, for example, will tend to change things up. You might have an 'HTC_bootup_one.zip' instead of a 'bootanimation.zip'. You can't go wrong by naming your new package the exact same thing, and putting it in the same folder. (BUT you also have the option of deleting all oddly named animation packages you find in odd locations on your phone, and just using the standard 'bootanimation.zip' and putting it in /system/media. This is the Android standard location, and it will almost certainly look there if it can't find it elsewhere. Note that if you do this and fail to find and delete the other package, it will still use the other instead.)
Permissions: You shouldn't need to change permissions on the package file, at least that's never been an issue for me. If you are having problems there, I'd suggest trying the standard 644 setting one usually finds in the system folder, or RW-R--R--. (As long as the file is Readable by the owner, I would think that it would work.)
I can't delete or change these files! You may be using ES File Explorer, which is not the easiest app to drive. It requires root permission being set in its settings, and if you don't do that, hilarity can ensue. (I again recommend Root Explorer by Speed Software, which is not free but gives the most straightforward file browsing experience you can imagine, a big plus if you're new to rummaging around in your phone's innards!)
You absolutely cannot play with this stuff without root, so don't even try, okay? And when you want to change anything in a root-level folder, you will need to remember to set that folder RW (read/write), and then remember to set it back to RO (read only) when you are done, yes? You smart folks already know these things, I just want to make this post as complete as possible.
But I need MORE animations! I found the link above by googling 'bootanimation.zip 720x1280' so have at it!
If you've any more questions, please ask..
Worked great for me, thanks!
-Mike
What about activating sound?
Purest said:

Click to expand...

Well, if you want sound and the animation doesn't include it, it is possible to add any fairly short sound in .ogg format to the same /system/media folder, and call it with an edit to the bootanimation.zip file. (You'll need to call it from the desc.txt file inside the zip.)
Say you have a sound picked out and converted, and it's called evoboot.ogg. Your desc.txt will need to include the line:
s evoboot.ogg

I use the same rom. The file is in system/customize/resource. You have to rename the bootanimation to hTC_bootup_one.zip. Also don't forget to make the permissions match.
I am very much looking forward to trying some of these out tomorrow when I get off of work!! I've read through the two guides on making your own and implementing your own sound files. These sound very exciting as well, but I feel they are over my head still. I am going to pace myself a bit and wait to try them.. but soon I will try.. But for now there are just so many to choose from.

I'm wanting to know this too, because I tried some other boot animations from an HTC ONE series phone, and it didn't work.
These were mentioned here on the boards earlier, and I tried to use a flashable "beats" BA, but it did not work. Also tried the "suckerpunch" BA manually by going into system/customize/resource, and THAT did not work either.
A guide would be greatly appreciated, and a sticky should be made for boot animations, as well as splash screens.

Where did those animations come from that you mentioned? Cause i doubt the names are correct for this phone
Sent From My Sweet Ass EVO LTE
Okay. First go download the boot animation that you like from:
http://tinyurl.com/co9ulfv Not sure if you can post the full links here but at least this one is clickable?
(One of the bootanimations I clicked on was bogus so use your brain. The next three brought me right to the file download without visiting a website first.) Then go into ES file explorer and go into settings and make it writable by placing a check next to Root Explorer and Mount File System. Next I found the downloaded file and clicked into it and clicked Data then local and found the actual boot animation zip and copied it to the root of the SD card so it would be easy to find. After that I renamed that file to SPC_bootanimation.zip. Now you go into system/customize/resource and delete the file labeled as SPC_bootanimation.(I saved a copy first and this must be done before you copy the file you're pasting in there. Don't know why but once I copied I couldn't delete the stock _bootanimation.zip file). Then I went back to the sd card and copied the renamed SPC_bootanimation file and pasted it in the resource directory where i deleted the original. Bingo, reboot and you will see your new animation. I did all of these steps in ES File Explorer.
Your folder may be in system/media depending on which rom you're using. I am on stock/ ultra smooth lscape Rosie by flex360.
P.S. the way I was messing up first was I was trying to rename the file I downloaded to spc_bootanimation not the bootanimation.zip file located inside of that original download in the Data/Local directory.
Also, I'm not an English major by any means, so if something is spelled incorrectly or the proper grammar wasn't used, sorry. I'm not looking for a lesson just looking to help out. heck if it's bad enough, just click on the donation tab next to my name and maybe I can afford some classes.
I'm using the bluplazmall boot animation. Looks really good.

what you looking for?
Ok maybe I'm just retarded, or just a little rusty on my adb. Tried this in RootExplorer, didn't work. Tried it using adb, didn't work either. It's saying /system is mounted as Read-Only. I tried an app called SUFBS and made sure that it was mounted as Read-Write, and it failed. In adb, I'm navigating to the correct folder, "adb devices" to make sure it's showing up, "adb remount" which is succeeding, then "adb push SPC_bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource/" and it's giving the Read-only error. I'm running ViperRom 1.2.1 and am S-Off. Anybody got any pointers? Oh and btw, I did extract the bootanimation.zip from the .zip file I downloaded from the website in the op.
I am curious what root explorer is saying when in that directory..does the button at the top allow you to set it RW?
It's not showing an icon for rw or anything. May be a different, crappier version? It's the one that came with ViperROM. That SUFBS app is very similar, and I chose rw in it, found the bootanimation.zip file on my sd card, moved it to /system/customize/resource, and it showed it moving the file, but it never showed up.
Edit: It's RootBrowser. Nonetheless, SUFBS is essentially the same thing. I'm curious though why I can mount as read-write in that app, yet adb says its read-only.

[Possibly Faster Boot] Disable Boot Animation

This is very simple. Any noob can follow this and most of you know of this tweak.
1)Open a Root Explorer app or any file manager with root permissions.
2)Go to /system
3)Mount folder in R/W and open build.prop in text editor
4)Scroll to the very bottom and enter
Code:
debug.sf.nobootanimation=1
5)Save and Exit. A full reboot is required to see that this works.
You can change =1 to =0 to disable this. Or simply delete the line that was added.
Pressing the thanks button is very appreciated.
P.S. I think this results in a faster boot up time. Let me know what you think.

It does work.
I've tested this in hopes that some build.prop tweaks are worth it. Well this one is...my Samsung Galaxy Nexus booted from 3-5 seconds faster when the boot animation was disabled. It was noticeable that when the phone intially turned it took longer to get to the animation b/c it had to load it. However it is sort of scary to have my phone suddenly just 'turn on'.. oh well. less clutter
Thanks!
Thank you!

Follow the guide and change the build.prop value to 0.
Also check to see if you even have a boot animation in /system/customize/resources/ or /system/media/

Boot animations cannot be compressed. So zip with 0 compression (store).
No thanks.

Your boot animation was likely deleted, moved, or renamed by the app you used. The boot animation file can be placed in many locations for use at startup. I would look in the /system/media folder for a file named bootanimation.zip, however the app may have renamed it. So it may not have the .zip at the end if that's the case then rename it back to bootanimation.zip and then give that a shot. If you don't find it there it could be in /system/customize/resources or even in the /data partition or moved to the SD card. Make sure the boot animation file exists before you attempt to fix anything.
Thanks so much!
Your tips worked like a charm.
Startup time is quicker, and less laggy on the homescreen!

That's called the splashscreen, can't change that unless your device is S-Off unfortunately
is it possible to enable bootmessages?
yea,
thx 4 that. works with stock 4.4.2 on galaxy s3 neo (i9301i). does anyone know how to enable bootmessages? it will maybe slow down boot-time, but i'm interested in watching bootmessages on boot.
Thanks...working on my Note 4..Improved the boot speed by 3-4 seconds
