Maybe I'm just not remembering correctly, but I thought that out of the box the bootanimation would play the DROOIIIID sound byte. I haven't seen this since it I started swapping roms. Anyone know how to get this back?
i believe you were hearing the sd card notification, where the default sound would have been droid right out of the box.
may be wrong though
It was part of the original boot animation, sbf'ing and using root explorer to find boot animation.zip in system/media will get it back but here's the link to the download: http://www.mediafire.com/?y3tvq34aboutinj,
not sure if its complete. Unzip it and open the desc.txt file with text editor. The sound file is the Droid.ogg file. The desc.txt file also contains guidelines for changing or customizing the sound file or other files. This can also be done in absolute system app by importing the bootanimation.zip and opening the bootanimation.zip editor and then using the desc.txt editor. Both ways can be used to adjust size, fps, loop properties and sounds. I will write up an instruction thread and post it in the dev forum once I successfully create a custom (sound).ogg file and apply it to a bootanimation.zip and get it to work.

I have rooted my SGS and would like to change the boot animation to the original. I have already got the original boot animation .png files but I do not know how to replace it to current animation files.
Anybody?
if they are in the .qmg format, then i think you have to push your .qmg file to
system/media/
if they aren't then you have to make an update.zip file and put the files in appropriate folder and update your phone.
search the forum for more info on how to..
Well i have a Samsung Vibrant rooted with OCLF and running Launcher Pro. I tried to change my boot screen which i read up on here before doing. I read on this forum theres is 2 ways to actually do it, which is using the command on your pc which im not too good with codes so i tried the 2nd option which is to copy and paste using the Root Explorer. So i copied the bootanimation.zip from SD card while on mount r/w and paste it to system/media and then reboot. I still have the stock boot up not sure if i did something wrong, this is my 1st android phone which i like way better than my Icrap so any help will be appreciated.

Why dont you give this a try
USE THE GALAXY I9000 BOOTUP / SHUTDOWN ANIMATIONS & SOUND
rko did an awesome job with these flashable bootup/shutdown animations (place them on the /sdcard (internal memory) NOT sdcard/sd (external). Be sure and thank him for his work!

Thanks to s15274n
i tired it it doesnt work either comes up with error code
You have to have a rom that has a hacked kernel that allows for support of bootanimation.zip the stock vibrant rom does not have this ability (Thankyou Samsung), so simply putting the file in the correct folder will do nothing if you don't have the kernel that utilizes it. Currently there are 2 roms that will work with this:
Obsidian V2 - JK2 Official Froyo Based 2.2
or
Froyo Macnut R10
you put the .zip files in /system/media which is NOT the right way of doing it
extract the zip file anywhere on your desktop and copy the bootsamsung.qmg into your internal sdcard.
then run root explorer on your phone, copy the same .qmg file from your sdcard into /system/media folder

A bootanimation.zip is a zip with a series of images in it, there is no qmg in it. The OP was not asking about the qmg I don't think. He wants to be able to use his own bootscreens which cannot be done with qmg, only with bootanimation.zip and a hacked kernel.

meaning hes dropping the whole zip file into /system/media through root explorer
i just told him the proper way of doing it as it was discussed here
the only mistake i did was use the "bootanimation.zip" as reference
since OP didnt even mention where he got the bootanimation.zip and i assumed things
im sorry about the confusion
ok sorry for the confusion and i thank you both for the responses.Lets see if i can explain it a little better.(It wont let me post a link but i found it here on XDA which is the THC boot up) the bootanimation.zip file i was trying to use which does not have the qmg for me to extract so i tried to put in system/media which did not work. Then i tried chichu_9 boot up screen which he recommended and did exactly as motoyola did which i extracted the qmg file and put in sd card (not external) then copy/paste into system/media which replaced the stock qmg file for the vibrant then i reboot and still stuck with the stock boot up screen. I am currently running Eugenes leaked 2.2 rom which works pretty good so far just cannot change boot screens for some reason so if i missed something or did something incorrect pls feel free to correct me and thanks in advance.....
I've changed bootanimations before on other devices, but the file was always called "bootanimation.zip." Looking at the files in the SGS5, I see 3 different "boot*.qmg" files, but no "bootanimation.zip."
Since we don't have a custom recovery yet, I'm hesitant to rename the *.qmg files and drop in a "bootanimation.zip" I created for my SGS4 into the same folder. Is there some new way to replace bootanimations on an SGS5 due to the *.qmg file extension, or it's safe to just rename/delete the *.qmg files and drop in the "bootanimation.zip" file into the appropriate folder?
I'd hate to get stuck in a bootloop and have to odin back to stock only to be unable to fully "restore" my phone's settings afterwards (yes, I have TiBu & other apps that'll allow me to restore, but it's certainly not as easy or as complete as restoring a nandroid backup).

Thank you very much for the direction. While I'll give it a shot a later, that still won't allow me to replace the default bootanimation w/ the ones I've previously created. The bootanimation.zip files I want to use only contain *.png files (the *png's are in "part0" folder and there is a desc.txt file in the parent directory). There are no *.qmg files in those zip's to extract, so that process won't work for me & the bootanimations I'm trying to use.
Any other ideas, or is my only option to use something like the Samsung Theme Designer process? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696914)

Contact the maker of the OP of the thread with the boot animations, I'm pretty sure he/she can help you out converting the files. It's been done before in that thread.

What the heck, man. Stop helping me so quickly! :laugh:
Thanks again!!
Hello guys,
I am new to XDA forums and also new to customizing my own Theme.
Following few tutorials and possible fixes, I did not manage to get my S4 i9505 to load my bootanimation that I created.
MY PHONE:
GT-I9505
11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-jflte (CyanodenMod Version)
4.4.4 (Android version)
BOOTANIMATION.ZIP:
part0
image00.png - image17.png
part1
image18.png - image21.png
desc.txt
1080 1920 48
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
The above is my content inside BOOTANIMATION ZIP. Compressed with WinRAR using "STORE" as compress mode. PNGs developed with Adobe Photoshop. DESC was written in NOTEPAD.
2. Copied the .ZIP into my sdcard folder form Computer.
3. Opened File Manager with escalated Root Priviliges.
4. Selected my bootanimation.zip and copied it inside system/media/ .. overwritting previous bootanimation.zip
4.1 After some suggestions on web, I also copied one copy to root/data/local
When I reboot my phone, the CyanogenMod boot is no longer, but neither does it load my bootanimation.
It just loads some standard "android" animation.
Can anybody please help me?
Best,
WW
Did you change permissions to rw-r--r-- for the file in /system/media? Did you make sure no other files were stored in the zip, like a thumbs.db file? Check, because both of these are sufficient to stop the boot animation from functioning.
Two other related issues I see. Issue one is the number of frames per second. 48 frames/second seems a bit fast. Are you sure you want that? Issue two is that you need to delete the boot animation from /data/local if you already have a copy in /system/media.
So I've been trying to get a boot animation I've been working on for this phone to work and the old method of just putting the zip in the system/media or system/customize/resource folder seems to no longer work. I read a few places about having to edit a bootimage bin file but could only find info on that for Samsung phones and qmg files. Just hoping someone can point me in the right direction to learn the new process for our phone
need to replace vzw_bootup.zip to replace the boot animation on the Verizon model not bootanimation.zip. it is also case sensitive so when replacing the file notice how its typed. like VZW_bootup or vzw_bootup.zip etc...
you were in the right folder, the resources folder
I think there's more to it than just that. I have tried to open the vzw_bootup.zip with 7-zip and it doesn't recognize the file. In addition, the splash screens instead of being in a separate partition (sp1 on the M9 and A9) are in \system\customize\resource as splash_screen.png (and is invoked by default.xml in \system\customize\cid.
I have done that. If it's named anything but vzw_bootup.zip it simply loads the default Android boot but if I put a modified boot animation with vzw_bootup.zip as the name it only shows the splash screen right up until my home screen loads. I've given correct permissions and everything. Something about the bootanimation binary file is checking for the correct png files or something in the zip.
Update: I pulled the notification binary file from leedroid (dunno if it's any different just figured I'd try) and ticked permissions for all on the binary file just like the vzw_bootup.zip has and the custom animation somewhat works now. It is skipping half of the second folder but I assume that's something I did.
Deleted. (hit reply instead of edit) =/

I've done it already. It's as simple as that. It's case sensitive, I couldn't get it to work, I copied the text right off the file in root explorer pasted it onto the new animation zip. Asked to replace, I replaced it. Rebooted to the new animation.
