[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
You could put anything you wanted in there. As long as they are png files with numbers at the end it should work. If you wanted, you could use a bunch of random images and make it look like someone changing tv channels or flash back and forth between dark colors and bright neon and make a light show. Truly anything.
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
Would the pictures need to be 480x800?
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Yeah, but you could just use a black background that was 480x800 if it wasn't.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Cedricmackay:
Is there a file size or time limit on the power up sound? I wanted to make my own.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
yes i think it can only be around 7 seconds...
[Samsung Mesmerize] droidzach:
I have a power up sound on my phone that is 9 seconds, but I havent tried to create my own, yet, so I am not sure entirely how long it could be, it seems like you may be able go a little bit longer than that...I guess it would depend on how long your phone takes to boot also...

Have any of you guys figured out how to change the initial Samsung splash screen?
[Samsung Mesmerize] Cedricmackay:
What image editor are you using to create your animations?
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
You can use anything from Paint to Gimp to Photoshop. Any graphics editor will work as long as you save your files to png. It just really depends on the level of detail you want to get into.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
I mostly use Gimp.. I have adobe Photoshop, but it's just way more complicated to me..

The links seem to be down or are no longer working correctly. You may want to update them or fix your thread....Thanks
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
thanks for the heads up... It was only one link not working, it's fixed now..
[Samsung Mesmerize] de-v8:
Sorry, but how do I install these? I've tried copying to data/local

I hate the standard Leedroid bootanimation.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
you put the bootanimation.zip file in system/media/
[Samsung Mesmerize] de-v8:
I tried to paste/move the file using root explorer but it doesnt work. Am I doing something stupid?:confused:
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
did you hit the R/W button at the top right of the screen in the folder? This allows you to be able to write....
[Samsung Mesmerize] de-v8:
I did yes :) It's doing my head it coz these animations look sweet.
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
nvm, got it

[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
glad you like them...
[Samsung Mesmerize] de-v8:
I'd love them even more if I could install them.

Is it because I'm running LeeDroid?
[Samsung Mesmerize] de-v8:
Managed it, there's a fix on Modaco that allows yo to install a zip that copied files into data/local and you can drop the files into there.

Can I paste the link here to help others in future or are links not allowed?

There's also an app called Boot Animations Changer by Andres Schmois that does it on the fly without having to use recovery. Paid version lets you install from SD-Card. I hope this helps some guys.

i don't mind if you post links to help someone
[Samsung Mesmerize] Firedog7881:
I noticed the Nexus bootanimation.zip file has a desc.txt file with the wrong values. The animation is set up to run part0 4 times and then part1 infinitely. This is incorrect as part0 contains the images to bring in the X from a black screen and then part1 continuously runs animation from the end of part0. part0 should be ran 1 time and then part1 run infinitely. It should look like this:

480 800 30

p 1 0 part0

p 0 0 part1
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
thank you very much, I was wondering why mine did that.

my attempt at a bootanimation

Here is my attempt at my first bootanimation.
[Samsung Mesmerize] wulfeman:
the poweron mp3 to go with the bootanimation

The poweron mp3 to go with the my bootanimation. Just put them in the normal places.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Firedog7881:
Liking the sound, where did you get it from? Haven't tried the animation yet, after a restore I will check it out.

UPDATE: Of course I am having problems with my restore, any help would be appreciated, please check it out has to do with e:Can't open cache/recovery/log
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
Looks good! I also like the sounds, just as an FYI I had to rename it 0406_Poweron for it to work.
[Samsung Mesmerize] wulfeman:
I got the sound from Zedge.net. It was called Droid Incredible ringtone.
[Samsung Mesmerize] wulfeman:
Yeah i had to rename it to that also... guess I should have mentioned that in the post. LOL
[Samsung Mesmerize] rj_22:
how do I change the start up and shut down sound? Also can I change the shutdown animation too?
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
read my tron description and it tells you where to place the poweron mp3 file... Also you need to pay attention to what your original is called.. This can be replaced with any mp3 file, but it will only play for around 7-10 secs...

You can change the shutdown animation.. I have a few shutdown png's in the main thread under mesmerize themes and apps. You'll also notice someone posted a power down animation...

Let me know if you need any help..
[Samsung Mesmerize] rj_22:
where is the shutdown sound file located? And what can I name it?

nvm, I fgured it out. Thanks for the help
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
ha, cool... no problem
[Samsung Mesmerize] jnuts5423:
got the boot animation to work just fine, but im having the same issue with the startup sound im having with the shutdown animation. it says the file system is read only. Im using root explorer. when its in my sd card, it will let me do whatever i want, i just cant rename, move, or even delete when its in the system/etc. I got the sound pasted in there, but got nothing, and now i cant even pull it out. PS.. Im runnin vodoo.

Edit**** i figured out the mount R/O button at the top can change, and that enabled me to change permissions and move system files around. but now i have no bootup sound, and i think i deleted my original bootup sound, cause i have nothing. no biggie. I just want to figure this out. I renamed it 0406_Poweron.mp3, but still have no sound at bootup. i do have the android guy pissing on the apple which is SWEET!!!
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
just making sure you are putting the mp3 file in a different location than the bootanimation.zip?

the mp3 file goes in /system/etc
[Samsung Mesmerize] jnuts5423:
i was making that mistake at first, but now, yes, i renamed it 0406_poweron.mp3, and placed it in system/etc. i dont know what i got wrong. i thought it might be the read write option, but i have it the same as the power off mp3 option.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
which sound file are you using?
[Samsung Mesmerize] jnuts5423:
the one from the incredible posted at post 80. with the zedge link.. shouldn't matter if im using that one with the piss on apple bootup would it? i figure i could mix and match.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
I wouldn't think it would matter.. I haven't personally tried that one, but others have and have said it worked fine. You are using these for bootup and not shutdown correct?
[Samsung Mesmerize] jnuts5423:
well im using the piss on apple bootup, and it works fine, but i have no sound. not even the default us cell sound. cause when i moved it over to the etc folder, it overwrote the original one in there since i made it the same name, like an idiot, i didnt back it up and put it on my card. im not to worried about it though. and ive tried using the shutdown theme, but cant get it to work. im using this shutdown png below, but i still get the us cell shutdown screen. So all i got working is the bootup piss on apple animation.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
you did unzip the poweron.zip and then rename it to 0406_PowerOn (this is what mine is called) I think it's just named PowerOn for some people. I have a Cellular South Showcase which is a "little" different than the mesmerize...

Make sure you're not naming it mp3.mp3 also...
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
as far as the shutdown png make sure you name it the same as your stock one is and overwrite it. It won't actually show up the first time you power it down I don't believe, but it should work the second time you shut it down...

edit***

Also try another mp3 file for PowerOn just to test and see if they'll work
[Samsung Mesmerize] jnuts5423:
all the other sounds are quicktime files, and i cant save them. that was the only mp3 one i could save to my desktop. and i named it it the same as the old 0406_Poweron.mp3. I think at least, cause i no longer have the us cell startup sound mp3, and no sound at startup, just the piss on apple animation. do you have another mp3 file on hand i could try?

And the shutdown theme, i named it shutdown_1.png and its in system/media/video/shutdown. Should i be taking all the other shutdown png's out thus leaving the 1 file "shutdown_1.png"? cause its like its totally bypassing the 1, and going straight to the 2's and on. i just want it to read the red android screen that says "please wait!!! system Shutting Down...." It doesnt make sense to me that it would read the 1, without going through to the rest of the png's all the way up to 31, without showing those png's, which are all us cell. but then again, im still learning all this android stuff. windows was all so straight forward, with cabs and such.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
I think you should try naming the mp3 to PowerOn.mp3 see if that works

as far as the shutdown png. I only have one in my folder located at

/system/media/video/shutdown and it's named shutdown_1.png

You should be able to replace this with any png file from my other thread named shutdown png's... Just copy the file to your sd card, and use Root Explorer to move it to the above location, it should ask if you want to overwrite and say yes.. Make sure to click RW button at the top right of the screen giving you write abilities...

edit*

will someone with a mesmerize confirm what your poweron file is called. Either 0406_PowerOn.mp3 or PowerOn.mp3
[Samsung Mesmerize] jnuts5423:
I GOT IT!! GOT EM BOTH!! your suggestion to rename it 0406_PowerOn.mp3 was the key. i was naming it 0406_Poweron.mp3. that worked. and once i deleted all the other shutdown png's out, I now have the shutdown theme screen! thanks a ton bro!!!
[Samsung Mesmerize] jnuts5423:
while I have your expert ears, is there a way you know of to change the "US Cellular" text in the pull down menu? We could do that on wm. I work for Verizon, but carry us cellular. (its complicated). Thats the whole reason i went with the mesmorize, cause it looks exactly like the fascinate. so i would like to remove all sign of us cell. That would be the last step is to change the carrier text in the notification panel. whether to change it to verizon, or whtever i could. just so i could have no worries about showing my phone off at work.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
You're welcome... It's usually some little thing like that...

As far as changing the Carrier name to Verizon (or removing it) in the notification pull down, that's a little out of my knowledge... I believe it can be done, but you may have to flash a ROM or theme to do that..

You may want to start a new thread I'm sure someone will be able to help you out with that one..
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
I think I found a way to do this. If it works I will let you know.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
you Da Man phidelt82!!!
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
Yeah phidelt82 if we could do this that would be awesome, expecially if we didn't have to instll a whole new rom or anything. I have nothing against having it say US Cellular but the more customization, the better.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Firedog7881:
Does anybody know if there is an android app that will play the bootanimation.zip files so that I don't have to keep rebooting my phone to see how they look? Or even a program on my computer to flip through the images at the designated speed.
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
try the Absolute System Root Tool.

http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.canvs2321.absolute.system

it's hit and miss for me for displaying the animation previews correctly, but it still is a great tool to have with many other cool features.

[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
i just save them to my computer and then open the folders and click through kinda quick to get an idea of what they look like..
[Samsung Mesmerize] technics42:
I know I found this here on xda I don't remember where though, but i use it. Just open the zip and extract it then open the program and drag and drop your bootanimation.zip into it and it will play it.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Firedog7881:
That worked perfectly. Just what I was looking for.

Think u could cook up a resident evil umbrella corp logo boot screen? that would be cool to go with the umbrella theme im tryin to do with my mes

Dude that would like make my day if u got that turned into a boot screen lol

The image in the comment by BandTNT looks like it could make a cool boot logo. Just get the size right and throw it in Photoshop to make the umbrella spin and/or the text glow or pulse or something.

If you can just get me a set of .png files then i can make them into a bootanimation...
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
adding one to the front page, let me know what you think...
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
I just added some more animation to the umbrella corp logo...
[Samsung Mesmerize] icebear8:
Ok well right now im on the super clean rom and flashed with the galassia rom would i still be able to use this start up screen or do i have to flash with voodoo still?
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
You should still be able to use it..

If not this shouldn't hurt anything, it would just be a black boot screen if it didn't work. Make sure to do a bkup just in case...
[Samsung Mesmerize] icebear8:
Yea it was black screen but I installed voodoo and I got it work I give it 5 stars =) now to get a shut down screen an my phone ain't android anymore its a umbrella corporation phone =) u just made this phone 60 times better
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
Ha, glad you like it...
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
added a few new ones over the past few days...
[Samsung Mesmerize] Malicah:
So I'm having trouble installing these, I have voodoo installed on this phone, I have root access and am using root explorer to move the files around. I move them into the correct folder and replace the original zip file, but on reboot, the animation still doesn't change. Any suggestions on what might be causing the issue? It's as if it says it transferred the file but didn't.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
so you're putting them on the sdcard then moving them to /system/media folder correct?

Have you tried a couple different ones?

Which ROM are you using?
[Samsung Mesmerize] Malicah:
Yea I put them on the SD Card and then transfer using Root Explorer, I have tried several different boot animations, and I'm using the stock ROM.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
and you are clicking the RW button at the top right corner before you try to paste to the media folder?

You should get a message asking are you sure you want to overwrite the existing file...

So what shows up when you boot, just a blank screen?
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
as requested I made the Droid piss on the apple last longer before he walks away to get the bat...
[Samsung Mesmerize] Malicah:
Yes, it says it transfers over and that it replaced it, I have even tried deleting the old one and then putting in the new one. It seems to transfer fine, but then when I reboot the phone, it still has the same boot screen as before. So I assume it's not a problem with the boot screens, there is some kind of problem with it transferring. Like root explorer says it transferred it but it didn't.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
yeah if it's showing the stock bootanimation or whichever one you already had on there then it's definitely not overwriting it... If you're using RootExplorer, which I think you said you are, you are tapping the "Mount R/W" button at the top right of the corner...

After you do this it should overwrite the existing bootanimation.

Make sure you are in the /system/media folder also......

And you do have the voodoo kernel right?
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
Also you are leaving it bootanimation.zip you're not unzipping it or anything are you?
[Samsung Mesmerize] Malicah:
I'm not unzipping, and it is in rewritable mode (it will say it can't do it if not) and I have it named right and it is going in the correct folder... I'm really not sure. I am about to install a new ROM though, I'll let you know I can change the boot animation after that.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
man, that's strange... It's usually one of those things, but it sounds like you're doing it right.. Yeah let me know if you can with the new ROM..
[Samsung Mesmerize] Malicah:
so I just installed the pick-n-pack ROM and again I can't change the boot animation. I changed to shut down one just fine, but the boot animation just refuses to change, I don't understand it.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
It's all about the kernel. Have you tried re-installing the kernel yet? The ROM doesn't matter.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
Glad you responded, I was seriously lost...
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
Try using something like Absolute System Root Tool, it changes it for you without you having to move the files yourself. See what it says/does.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Malicah:
Absolute System Root Tool doesn't work with Samsung Phones though. I'm going to try to reinstall the kernel when I get the chance, though I have the voodoo kernel on here right now, so it should be working.
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
Works fine for me.

[Samsung Mesmerize] Cedricmackay:
Could you animate this one

I am not that savvy with image editor to animate it.

I was thinking of the "By your command" sound with it would make a great boot up screen
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
I made one (Check the first post at the bottom) it's a little small I couldn't enlarge it to fit the screen without distorting the image quality... If you find me the mp3 file you're talking about I can create the PowerOn file for you... If you can find a better picture preferrable 480x800 or atleast one that has 480 width, i can make it look better....

Resident evil Umbrella corp shutdown

HEre is the shutdown files for the Resident evil bootanimation. YOu will have to unrar them and just copy them to /system/media/video/shutdown

All it is, its the reverse of the startup
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
I added the poweron file to the first post... Follow instructions on where to place it..
[Samsung Mesmerize] rj_22:
anybody.....?
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Yes, there is a way to do it.
[Samsung Mesmerize] rj_22:
wanna help? lol
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Sorry, I thought you were just asking if it was possible. All you have to do is put the files in order (mimic the shutdown files in /system/media/video/shutdown) they are named shutdown_1.png and so on. No need to zip them up or have a script with them. It's actually easier than a boot animation.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
open the shutdown a few post up and extract it... see how the files are named.. Extract the bootup image you are wanting to change. And change all the file names so they reflect the shutdown images..

Then just follow his instructions on where to put them, don't zip them..

*edit..

you beat me to it Phidelt, lol
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
I updated the animation... try it now...
[Samsung Mesmerize] rj_22:
so just reverse the order for the image to run backwards
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
that's correct.. If you just want to see the android go From Large down into the ground.. Also it's only going to play so many photos (not sure how many) you'll just have to play with it...

Not working

So I am back again (I was unable to get this to work awhile back) I finally had time to play around with it again and it STILL doesn't work.

I just installed a new ROM (The super clean ROM) AND I installed the new Voodoo Kernel, but I still can't change my boot animation.

and YES, I am transferring the files correctly, I'm using root explorer to do it, it says it replaces the files, etc etc.

The funny thing is, when I installed my last ROM (I think it was from the ROM) it actually changed my boot screen, but I haven't been able to manually change it myself, I don't under stand at all.

The only thing I can think to do is try to re-root it? even though it is rooted and seems to be working fine, so I don't know, any suggestions?
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
Its probably saying failed down at the bottom. At the top of root explorer make sure you're in r/w not r/o
[Samsung Mesmerize] Malicah:
I'm in the right mode, and it is copying the file (I delete the old one first before moving the new one in)
