Boot animation - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Hello... I'm trying to change the boot animation on my SGS2 (ski-rocket)' with the app called "boot animation ",? But it doesn't change it? And yes I'm rooted. Am I missing something? ...anyone??

Boot animation on our device has been tweaked by Samsung. They're not using the same standard method most Android phones use. It's being worked on by a few of the devs right now and hopefully we've have something soon.

+1 For hating corporate logos.

Awesome ...I hate that att logo LOL

If you are rooted navigate to root/system/media/
in that folder should be bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg
these are the bootanimations and some international ones have been posted for the t989 as far as I know. For bootanimation.zip to work it would have to be enabled on the kernel level. Good luck and enjoy your devices !
***The AT&T logo is most likely a logo.rle type of image that is embedded in the kernel itself, that is the case on the t989 and is more than likely mirrored on the i727

Hmmm.. rle files. There are actually two of those in the root directory.
initlogo.rle and lpminitlogo.rle
I googled a little on how to convert these around but can't do much from work (several paid apps, didn't verify if they work). Who can convert these and how can we convert other boot animations to this format?

boot animation request
I would love for someone to figure this out. I would like the Galaxy Nexus Boot animation on this phone.
Who ever is working on this I would be more then happy to donate to your cause.

New Skyrocket owner here. I too would love the Galaxy Nexus boot animation!

Of course Rooted
Boot into CMW, install from Ext sd, select zip

right now you need to use custom ROM to do that.
this ROM work great and it let you change the boot animation http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377087

do we have to mount system in cwm? and is this shutdown too?

Yes to CWM

Neither of these worked for me on my SR. CWM showed ICS installed fine, but when I rebooted it was still the Samsung and AT&T animations. So then I went back to CWM and installed the SGS2 boot, but I got the same result.
Any suggestions?

Did you mount system?

I am in need of recovery

Hey I have a question. I just rooted my device and flashed a stock rooted Tom / kernel.
However now it seems as though the recovery (CW) is not sticking? It would just boot into the.Google screen and just stay there, and now it just boots back into the bootloader. And clockwork is nowhere to be found. Any ideas? And thanks in advance.

The stock rom will overwrite recovery on boot - this is done automatically. To prevent this delete/rename /etc/install-recovery.sh
Sticking at the Google screen is an issue with the ROM/Kernel combination you've chosen. Re-flash CWM and re-flash your ROM. If you're interested what's "sticking" you can likely adb shell logcat and see what is hanging or failing.
Thank-you. Will I have to repush the recovery and than rename the file? Or can I just edit the file the way my phone is now?

If you're rooted as long as you can boot you can rename/delete the file. Otherwise just:
-Flash CWM
-Flash your ROM (or boot if you can boot without issue)
-Rename the script (/etc/install-recovery.sh - name it whatever you want) - you'll either need to remount rw or use something like root explorer to make it easier
-You'll likely need to flash CWM again. You can do this via Rom Manager or manually via fastboot
At this point it should "stick" in the sense that it will not be overwritten on boot any longer.
One more question where is the location of the script that needs to.be edited in root explorer. As in the location.
Seriously thanks!

Looks like you're having issues getting into the recovery. That screen isn't the recovery, and I've had it before.
A lot of times, when you root on a stock rom, the phone deletes clockwork and restores the old recovery. That might be why you're having issues with it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895545
The second post on this thread describes how to make clockwork stick. You might need to make use of some adb commands OR get an app like Root Explorer.
1. Flash the recovery
2. Follow the instructions in the second post before rebooting your phone.
That should do it.

Actually it is. That's the stock recovery, but it's options are too limited which is why we use CWM.
Rest of your instructions should help the OP out though, good on that.

Just flash clockwork again and flash a non stock rom, or remove the file as described if u wanna stay stock.
Ya I think it was just freezing up got into recovery and installed new rom

No boot animation! How to fix it?

I looked around in the forms but I couldent find an answer, ive had my charge for about a month now and the other day i was messing with it and i soft bricked it so i used odin and put it back to stock everything. When i rooted my phone i now don't have a boot animation I can hear the sound when it boots but its just a black screen until my lock screen comes up. Anyone have any idea how to fix cuz I sure don't. I'm running stock rom with 4.0 kernel and the fp1 radio update If that makes any difference.

That kernel is old. Use this one http://rootzwiki.com/topic/137-01-30-12peanutbutta-jelly-time/
You need to make sure the boot animation is named sanim.zip and put it in /system/media and set permissions to rw-r--r--

Long shot, check in your build.prop located in /system to see if you have this line in the file, if you do just put a "#" in front of the line (without quotation mark).
debug.sf.nobootanimation=1
change to:
# debug.sf.nobootanimation=1
If you don't see anything like that, just use cwm, mount /system clear cache/davik cache, if still not working, do the same process but reflash your rom.

Another long shot, check permission on these 2 files: bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg exist in /system/media.
I strongly believe that some thing wrong when you rooted your phone last time. if you take a stock rom with pre rooted and odin back, it won't take long and may solve your issue.( http://www.ponack.net/danalo/all_in_one_odin_ep4d.tar.zip) unzip and odin stock rom with root.

[Q] Need big time help!

Guys,
I need some big time help! I just messed with the framework.apk file (was trying to get that annoying wifi notification off) and I basically crashed. I am rooted, running 4.1.1, on kt747 kernel. Everything was fine until I pushed the framework file back to my phone and it crashed, restarted, and gets stuck on the 4gLTE screen. I seriously need help. Also, I do have the stock framework file, but it is on my SD card. How can I make this right? I don't really know where to start. I tried doing a factory reset in CWM, and it didn't help. Also, I DID NOT have a nandroid. *kicks self hard in the shin*
Any suggestions?
The easiest way would be to simply flash a custom ROM in recovery. I guess you could also use a SD card reader to get the backup of framework, package it into a flashable zip and then flash that in recovery.

Sounds like you forgot to Un-Check Repartition in odin. Once you select the image you want to flash, it will auto-check the Repartition box (even if you unchecked it before). I would just try again and make sure its not checked before beginning
I made sure to uncheck repartition. I had a friend who was somewhat knowledgeable of this type stuff and he told me to do that... Is there anything else I could do?

No. NO. It's not a brick or anything. I recommend you flash ICS. It's much faster and better, also because it has it's own recovery. After you flash ICS you have to load up its recovery, hold the volume and the power button and wipe data and cache. It should boot flawlessly. If you do want gingerbread install clockwork mod and wipe cache and data. It should boot up.
