ok with all the new custom boot animations blah blah blah... I think its time a dev made an apk that will use chosen pictures off your sdcard for boot animation.

Is this as simple as making a jpeg and putting it into the correct folder? I don't need an animated gif - what format it will accept?
I wanted to make something that says 'Phone is Property of XXXX - please call XXXXX if lost'.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, thank you!

That is for AOSP builds that use the images in the assets/images folder in framework-res.apk.
If your phone uses Sense then it runs the boot animation from /system/media/bootscreen. All you have to do is replace the image in there (I think it's called boot1.gif) with another image with the same name or you can use a .jpg (which would probably be better if you want a static image) and just open up the boot_animation.xml and change the image attribute to "/system/media/bootscreen/your_file_name.jpg"
I've never tried it (the .jpg method) but theoretically it would work.
Do a Nandroid, try it out, if it doesn't work then nandroid restore.
Let me give you a friendly warning about messing with the boot screen:
I messed with mine for a few hours - I loaded a file it didn't like - wouldn't boot - couldn't get into recovery or fast boot it hung at the first HTC logo. I had to RUU to fix it. Bizzzzzzzare
There are a lot out there for other phones, but not one for the Evo, I was really wanting to make a custom boot animation for myself, I got all the way to having all the images ready to be made into an animation.
EDIT: I should also mention that what I mean by tutorial is how to build the custom animation itself, not flash it or replace it.

You have to be good with a program like adobe after effects. A program that can render out a PNG sequence. Once you render it out, it just a matter of zipping it up with the correct file and pushing it to your phone.
I got all that down, what about like how the bootanimation.zip set up? All the animations I've looked at have a document in it that I have no idea how to set up.
Here's a tiny package to be installed with xRecovery, for people who would like to disable the boot animation.
It replaces the animation with a dummy bootanimation.zip (backup your bootanimation.zip if you use a custom animation)
Thanks to Oskar.k for the inspiration.
Tested on WB-XPERIA TW Gingerbread but should work on any rom.
If you install a new rom, theme, or wipe cache, the first boot can take more than 5 minutes. When installing this you will get a black screen instead of a picture from a boot animation, don't mistake it for a crash/freeze.
Installation:
- in xRecovery, install custom.zip, xRecovery-BootAnimationDisable.zip
or
- copy bootanimation.zip to /system/media/bootanimation.zip using a root explorer like Estrongs File Explorer (free from Market)
To install the stock animation, do the same with xRecovery-BootAnimationStock.zip
Apparently the clean way to disable the boot animation would be to add those lines to /system/build.prop:
ro.kernel.android.bootanim=0
debug.sf.nobootanimation=1
It works and it's a cleaner solution but it doesn't seem to be any faster.
I think a xRecovery package is the most convenient to use when installing/updating roms.
I see u uploaded, but there arent any credits for ideas :/

Sorry Oskar.k, It's not my style! I did wonder if I should mention it but I didn't think you'd consider it your idea or discovery that messing with the file disabled the animation, it was so trivial... the xRecovery package is so trivial too. To disable something, messing with a file is the first thing someone tries (right after deleting a file). But you did save me a couple minutes to test this for myself because I did open your file to notice why it disabled the animation (no files to be used in the 2MB zip), and your post is the inspiration for making a convenient solution for myself, that I'm sharing here in case it helps others, so I edited the post to mention you. No hard feeling?
ALL IS GREAT

So i've tried to use the bootbox app to change my boot animation, i've used itvon my old phones bu t this is 1st Samsung, what's the proper way to change it?

So yea, the reason I rooted my phone in the first place was to hopefully be shed of that obnoxious boot animation, but it seems our phones are "unique". I've done the bootanimation.zip replacement and permissions, I've done the individual files (my media directory has both, as well as one in the bin). And I STILL get the obnoxious virgin mobile animation. I followed the link above.. and uh..whaaaaa??
I'd like to hear from anyone that has successfully changed their boot up animation to something cool on their SM-J700P.
Would going to a custom ROM work? I have hesitated since I have marshmellow at present.
I have boot animation support. Depending on the response I get back I might write a "how to" thread. Plus I have a BUNCH of boot animations. I can post the directions and Samsungani files needed.. right now my phone boots up like PlayStation

Awesome. I have one that I like, the zip containing the three qmg files. I've replaced the files manually and followed step by step on YouTube, so I hope you have what I'm missing.

Do you have the Android default boot animation system working, or just support for the qmg system?
Got it working. Look up bootanimation4U... Flash it. If you can't find it lemme know and I'll post it
Then, manually change out your boot animations or make a flashbable zip
Help here
I accidentally deleted bootanimation.qmg file in my Galaxy j7 and after that the samsung boot up screen is not showing... I tried flashing and manual methods to fix it but nothing seems to help.
Devs please provide different boot animation flashable zips..
Thanks in advance

I think you deal with wrong folder.
Boot animation is in system/ media
Name is bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg
Shut animation is shutdown.qmg
No touch in bin.

You should know diffwrent about boot logo (splash screen) which dark bg and write samsung galaxy ....
If you want to change this you need to search for original splash flash zip because after change it . It can only change back by flash original one. It not change though you change rom or factory reset.
Boot animation is easier to change. Just go to thread that share boot animation downliad flash zip and flash it. If you nandroid backup your rom first , you can always restore . Or you may copy original qmg file to somewhere.
