Okay after a few requests (myself included) I wanted to share this with everyone for removing the stock boot animation that was put into place by Dameon87 when he deodexed Froyo EB13 and provided us with the kernel built in showing us that custom boot animations were possible. What am I talking about? That sideways "Android" that flashes over the stock Samsung boot animation. Use this method only if you want to replace the stock animation with a custom boot animation. You must also be rooted with CWM installed.
There are 2 methods provided below. One is for users with Root Explorer and the other is a flashable in CWM
Root Explorer Method:
Open Root Explorer and navigate to the following:
/system/media/
You can delete the file "bootani.qmg" entirely or just rename it to "bootani.bak" in case you want to restore at a later date.
Close up Root Explorer and boot into CWM and flash a custom boot animation that works with your version of CWM.
Reboot and Enjoy!
Flash zip in CWM method:
(This deletes the "bootani.qmg" file found in "/system/media/")
Remove Stock Boot Animation -- ClockWorkMod v2.x.x.x
Remove Stock Boot Animation -- ClockWorkMod v3.x.x.x
1. Select which version of CWM your using and download the appropriate file needed to remove the stock animation. Next download a custom boot animation that matches your CWM version. We have a few listed here and there are others scattered around the various forums.
2. Boot into CWM and make a backup just incase.
3. Flash the "Remove Stock Boot Animation" file that matches your version of CWM
4. Immediately after flashing the above file, flash a custom boot animation that matches your version of CWM.
5. Reboot your system and enjoy your new custom boot animation.
