I know that the thread is around somewhere but i can't seem to find it, but i really fancy putting that bootanimation of the android hitting the apple sign or maybe another boot animation but have no idea of how to go about replacing the original galaxy s animation with it. Any help would be grateful
Hey xda community I have been messing with my rooted and romed epic 4g I just attempted to flash the nexus s shutdown and startup boot animations. I know samsung has their own special format so the animations shouldn't work. I am confused because the shutdown animation does work but I can't get the boot animation to work. Can somebody explain why the shutdown works when the bootup doesn't?
Custom boot animations only work with a modified kernel. Samsung uses a proprietary file in stock ROM's for the animation. As far as I know, no one has access to the software to modify them. So as a work-a-round dev's started mod'ing the kernels to allow a series of .png files to be played at a specified frame rate to create custom animations.
The shut-down animation format is the same on stock and cooked ROM's and doesn't rely on a modified kernel to work. It is also comprised of a series of .png files, the same as a custom animation. There is, however no way to control the frame rate that it plays at, or to tell it to loop.
So, after all of that there, the straight up answer to your question is...if you're running a ROM that has a stock kernel then the custom boot ani won't work, but the shut-down will!
Oh, and by the way, you posted this in the wrong forum. It should be in "General".
thank you so much i was just confused and sorry about it being in the wrong forum. oops
Please post questions in General section.
I am looking for a .png file from the STOCK BOOT ANIMATION for use as my wallpaper. I haven't rooted my Note, I was waiting to do so after the release of ICS, so at this point in time I don't have access to the file. All of the BA's I've D/L are either a custom BA or the BA from the Galaxy Nexus.
I'm looking for the Samsung Galaxy Note splash screen that appears just before the animated Samsung Logo - obviously from the zip file that is locked since - once again, I'm not rooted.
I am hoping somebody will please provide the entire zip file so I can choose the best frame to make my wallpaper. Any help is deeply appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Jim G.
