Is there a way to either not use the (lame, lame, lame!) Sammy splash screen seen at startup and shutdown, or replace it with something better?
Yes, my G5 is rooted (pay your bounty to geohot!).

Grab a boot animation from here ,unzip it and copy the files to your system/media directory. Just make sure you back up any files before you over write them.
Thanks to @PuffJr2 for adding: change permissions to 644 or. rwxr--r-- (read,write,execute;read;read) after pasting the files.

No problem, just sharing what I learned. Here is the S5 boot ani if you want it back. It just has the colored, animated samsung without the ugly stock one.

Yes it will I just did it. It won't remove the first Samsung/Android but will get rid of the next two as well as the shutdown one.
Edit: Delete the PowerOn.ogg in system/media/audio/ui if you want a silent boot without muting the phone.

you're not flashing them, you replace them in /system/media. I've already done it and confirmed it works.
i have the completely non branded stock samsung animation now. no more big V logo on boot.
I can live with the B/W Sammy/Android screen, it's the lame animation afterward, and at shutdown, that's so... pathetic. What can I say? It just is.

you can just "remove" the shutdown animation. its not needed.
I did not know that.
Now I do. [/LOL]
Well, this doesn't work.
First I downloaded the animation I wanted from the thread. I went to system\media and located the files I would be replacing. I copied them over to my sd card. I then replaced them with the ones from the zip file in system\media. Rebooted the phone. No boot animation. And now my power button no longer turns off the screen and my brightness defaults to the lowest setting. I quickly replaced the original files, but it did not change anything.

i cant say why your power button doesnt work. but anytime you add files/replace files to /system/media you need to change the permissions. they will not work otherwise.

This may be posted elsewhere...if so, sorry. I replaced the 2 qmg files in /system/media with the attached files. The attached files are the stock i9000 boot animations. I got them from a captivate thread.
So far they seem to work fine, but you should make a backup just in case.

Guess you have to be rooted, right?
rooted here, not working
What is the best way to copy files over? Could you give more of a noob tutorial on how to do this lol
works great! no more stupid pink crap! I a sooo excited!
The way I did it is as follows. I used root manager to copy the original qmg files to a safe place. I then mounted the phone to my computer copied the new qmgs to the sd card unmounted and used root manager again to put them in the correct place (system/media).
make sure that you extract the two files from the zip. other than that, I did it just like the above posts.
Works perfectly Thanks!!! Any idea where the sound file is? I'd like to replace that with something less "happy"

Go into /system/media and remove bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg ... or replace them with the i9000 files from the ZIP in the post that started this thread.
Thank you!
I copied the files over with root explorer, and everything works fine, except for when the new animation plays, it's very choppy/pixelated. Anyone else?
The first thing I wanted to do after I root my Desire was to change the boot animation from 'screaming' white to black.
Since a few friends begged me to put them somewhere that is always available, I decided to do here
So for those who want the original, but black HTC boot, down and shotdown animation they are free to take it from here
P.S. I added the splash screen, if someone wants to
Boot animation for HTC Sensation is here.
Ooh, looks nice, I'll have a go at that thank you - much easier on the eyes!
This is exactly what I was looking for
Thank you very much

Yes. Simply replace the existing file with this.
Every developer puts the animation to another place
Shotdown animation is just for froyo rom because gingerbread has only boot & down animation.
And these are made even while the froyo was topical

Here, your downanimation.zip now works. Checked.
Don't forget to check permition after copying. (rw-r--r--).
Good luck
Thanks, but, how do I check permissions? I'm not that adept with Linux, so I'm very new to the adb shell.
Also, I threw this into /data/local/ where I think the downanimations and such should be (I think they start in system/customize/resource/ and then get moved on install) but it still didn't work. I'm going to try the resource folder and see where that gets me, but it could be that I didn't manually change permissions. I can't see my data/local/ folder in ASTRO.

I'm S-OFF'd using RCMixS (Robocik) v2.0 using this mod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1110921 which is just the stock Robocik ROM with D2EXT. I didn't want any of the test unstable stuff.
It's the stock hboot version and I used the stock hboot when I S-OFF'd.
I've upped downanimations before and it worked without changing permissions. Also, I've tried just opening the ROM .rar file and added them to that (replacing the ones already there) then repacking the rar and flashing but that sometimes doesn't like to work. Is there some process to follow when repacking a ROM?
I think that error is the only thing stopping me from changing ROM's to how I like them to be fair.

Try with Root Explorer or estrong file manager.
Boot & down animations are in /data/local or /system/customize/resource. It depends on the developer. But you must see a files. Root explorer shows that even if the file on that location is real or just simlink.
After copying the file with Root Explorer to the location, by clicking on the file, you get a menu. Select permission and set permission (rw-r--r--) for downanimation.zip
It must work.
I put my boot & downanimations and other essential items are usually put the zip before the flash
nice. i think they will need a matching splash to go with
Thanks for this, can you use root explorer to add these?

Yes, you can.
After copying the file with Root Explorer to the location, by clicking on the file, you get a menu. Select permission and set permission (rw-r--r--) for both animations.
It's ok, ADB worked well. The animation only works on shutdown, not reboot. So it was just my bad!
Not sure why ASTRO can't see inside the the data/local/ folder, but it sees the rest of the root file system. Strange, but ADB push worked initially!
Thanks.....
Always on the hunt for nice(r) boot/down screens....
Hello, does anyone know where to find MIUI Multilingual's bootanimation and bootaudio, and the .xml file so i can edit them?
In system/media there is bootanimation.zip and bootaudio.mp3. If you want to edit the bootanimation look at desc.txt.
Thank you, however it seems that my phone still uses the IDEOS logo as bootanimation, and that one is located in "pink-screen" mode, is it okay to delete it?
You mean the splashscreen? I believe that is located in the kernel, and not easy to edit.

Well, when i boot, it doesn't use the MIUI bootanimation, it still uses stock Ideos animation, and i think that one is located in pinkscreen-mode.
Try placing the bootanimation.zip in /data/local on your phone with root explorer. Then reboot, it should work

Hmm, it didn't work, and i even tried replacing the bootanimation.zip in cust/Dialect/SE/media (which is where i go when i go into pinkscreen-mode) with the MIUI one, still nothing.
Sorry, I see no reason why it won't work.. You can try to delete the whole cust folder (in pink screen), it that don't work preform a full wipe.
What ROM version are you talking about? If latest, then you should pay more attention to rom changelog. retart said there, that he turned off bootanimation for faster boot.

Hello xda-developers ! What i have here are multiple zip files to be installed in CWM .
What are they?
They are zip files which allow one to change the default time it takes for the bottom button leds to timeout .
How do i install them?
Simple Follow instructions below
For those crazy folks who always want the keys lit up when the screen is on click me and follow install instructions
Install instructions:
1. Download the attached zip file.
2. Open or extract the newly downloaded zip file.
3. Select whichever time delay you want.
4. Copy to the ROOT of your sdcard.
5. Boot into recovery mode.
6. Choose "Install zip from sdcard".
7. Select "Choose zip file".
8. Select the time delay file you copied earlier.
9. Reboot and enjoy.
Now i created a bunch of them from the same file and didnt test every single file . If it doesnt work attach the zip file you used in recover stating your issues and i will get back to you
Thanks!

Sort of. It all depends on which kernel you are running. The only way to keep the lights off is by changing the permissions of the brightness file but some kernel's override permissions.

If it has android on it, and it has bottom lights, and it runs NAND not EMMC, then i would say give it a shot. its not going to break anything if it doesnt work. the only thing im concerned about would be the updater-script. but if its NOT EMMC then it should be fine.

you can use this test zip I made to flash the bootanimation(unzip it, place the bootanimation inside system/media/ and then rezip)
you can use bootanimation factory to add the loops to the bootanimation, the rest is up to you
