[GUIDE] Change Bootanimation !

---

Credit goes to sakindia123 and this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1375547


Step 1 :

Place the files "samsungani" and "bootanimation" in /system/bin

Make sure these files have execute permission (-rwxr-xr-x)

Step 2 :

Place "sanim.zip" in /system/media

This file contains the boot animation. You can use bootanimation.zip file from other threads but they should be renamed to sanim.zip to work properly.

ex thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1053250

Step 3 :

Remove "bootsamsung.qmg" and "bootsamsungloop.qmg" from /system/media

As a standard good practice, you can keep a backup of these files somewhere on your sdcard/pc.

Step 4 :

Reboot and enjoy !



Note : This works on my Samsung Galaxy R with 2.3.5 stock rom.

was just going to post this

I took the jolly roger one, NICE!

The above method doesnt work in the Indian ROM. I get nothin in the bootup other than the bootup sound. Then directly the Homescreen

That's when you don't copy the right sanim.zip to your system/media/ folder.
First of all when you download the custom "bootanimationfile".zip it's not enough just to rename it! you must extract the package, find bootanimation.zip (not sure about location inside .zip but i guess it is /data/local or /system/data/local.) THIS file must be renamed to sanim.zip and copied to your /system/media. IT must work if you followed other steps above. I'm pretty sure it works on every FW!

In my phone there is no bootanimation.zip . There are some bootanimation.omg files. I googled them up an found that they r samsung's propitory format.

Dude...read tutorial and that what I wrote one more time. Nobody said you have bootanimation.zip on your phone. Guide works like a charm!

"find bootanimation.zip (not sure about location inside .zip but i guess it is /data/local or /system/data/local."


Told by you

Then you should cite the whole sentence

" First of all when you download the custom "bootanimationfile".zip it's not enough just to rename it! you must extract the package, find bootanimation.zip (not sure about location inside .zip but i guess it is /data/local or /system/data/local.) "

I was talking about one of the custom boot animations package ( that can be found e.g. here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1053250 ) even localization I mentioned concerns the .zip file not the system folder of your device.

Of course we don't have bootanimation.zip in our stock, we have sanim.zip instead. Which is written in OP's tutorial above.
