[Q]Samsung Galaxy S bootscreen

---

Hello,
I know you guys probably get this answer often but can someone explain to me very slowly and clearly what i'm doing wrong.

I tried to edit the bootscreen of my custom rom (from romkitchen)
I got a file from the interwebz named bootscreen.zip and edited this with my .png
Than i copied it to my phone via BT and used rootexplorer to paste it in system/media i set the permissions to read only and execute... no1 can write it. than i changed rootexplorer back to RO. so now it is in there ( still the good 1 with my .png)

than i closed rootexplorer and tried to reboot, but now it doesn't show my bootscreen nor the bootanimation from romkitchen, but the standard bootscreen from Samsung (the shiny S)

is there something wrong with my bootanimation.zip or am i doing something wrong?

Please help me

PS this image is just the basic one... gonna make a glowing animation of it later on ( with multiple .png's with succeeding numbers right?)....... i hope...


-EDIT-

Ok so i think i found out what the problem is... the bootanimation.zip is wrong i just examined a bootscreen from a romkitchen .tar and that has a different structure, because this one has a part 0 and a part 1 with jpg's instead of png's so i guess that's the problem. But where do i put my bootscreen? in part 0 or 1? and do i have to delete one? What is the difference even between the 2? It's kinda odd because part 0 goes from image 1-9 and part 1 10-30ish

-EDIT2-

Using the new bootanimation.zip i've made a little progress.... its custom now... custom black. i get an entirely black screen. made me even panic for a sec there but still booted afterwards
I googled it and some1 had the same problem, but his solution didn't help me. apparently android cant play this animation ( still 1 pic but now i dupped it like 50x XD

I've added the .zip as it looks right now i made it a zip as a store... no compression at all... so that isn't the problem

I really don't know enough to tell you why its not working but it's my understanding that part 0 runs once & then part 1 runs in a loop.

hmmm that would make sense.... as u'll only want to fade in once... Still haven't fixed black screen problem tho.

Find your bootanimation file. on my SGS Continuum it is in the /system/media folder as bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg. if you have these.qmg files, there is currently no easy away around them. they do not use the common bootanimation.zip like most other phones. search the forums for the ".qmg" boot images and there are some not so perfect ways around this without a whole new kernel flash.

Ok i just examined a .tar from romkitchen.... and in it is a bootanimation.zip so if i change that with my own animation and flash the kernel it should work right? or is there an easier way? and if u use the same settings for romkitchen that i have right now i dont even need to flash right?
