@lgsilva i did this and now just have at&t animation without galaxy s. Still have sound for galaxy s boot tho

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
 
Just got rid of that awful AT&T bars animation and now I have the beautiful Samsung Galaxy S start-up animation.

Download the original animation from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=720567 (first file)

Then replace /system/media/bootsamsung.qmg with the one you downloaded

Okay, nevermind about it not working before.... gonna try to get this thing loaded up, or maybe just wait for the new ROM instead!

When I was poking around i the initramfs I found this:
Code:
# disable boot animation for a faster boot sequence when needed
boot_anim=`getprop ro.kernel.android.bootanim`
case "$boot_anim" in
    0)  setprop debug.sf.nobootanimation 1
    ;;
esac

So it seems we can load up the settings data base and set debug.sf.nobootanimation 1 to turn off boot animations completely using the same procedure as the market place restriction fix(?). Looks like that speeds up boot as well since the devs seem to want to do it ;)

I hate to be that n00b that de-rails the conversation to ask a basic question, but how do you actually do this step (above)?

I've tried copying the file in Astro, and pushing the file in adb, both resulting in 'Permission Denied' type error responses. I can't quite figure out how to get around the permissions...

I use root explorer, the select "mount r/w", navigate to the file and rename it to ".bak" and copy the new one

I like your idea. imho I don't care about looks i just want speed :)

Think this animation swap tutorial should be posted somewhere in the "How to Remove (Almost) Every Trace of AT&T" thread. ;)

EDIT: Got it working. Was a VERY simple process and the plain Galaxy S boot is awesome. Anyone have a link to the original PowerOn.WAV for the i9000?

EDIT2: Nevermind. Found it!


Now to get rid of that elusive ATT World Phone logo...

I was trying to replace the first splash screen (the white one "world phone") but so far no lucky. I had to restore my phone after a bad flash from a custom "tar" file... hehehe
phone -!- computer icon it's no good :p

Does anyone know how to remove or replace that splash screen? do we need to dump the boot loader then patch it?

I tried this trying to change the intro video by using the link provided with the original galaxy video. I just get a blank screen without the 3g or galaxy s video now.

I did however edit the wav file to just produce the samsung intro sound.

Any thoughts?

I've seen everyone talk about replacing bootsamsung.qmg to change the startup animation, but what is bootsamsungloop.qmg? It's a much smaller file... how is it involved?

Has anyone been able to disable the boot up screens altogether. It was mentioned in post 3 and post 24 but i wasn't sure if anyone has gotten it yet
