LOCATIONS OF SOUNDS AND ANIMATIONS [WIP]
From what I have found, this is the best list I have...
.qmg(animations) .Wav (MP3)
Before you start make sure that you have root obviously
Using root explorer and making sure that write protect off
Add .bak to the end of file to keep it from running...
You can use any Mp3 just change the file name from .mp3 to .wav on the phone
Boot sound;
/system/etc/PowerOn.wav
Boot up animation;
/system/media/bootsamsung.qmg
/system/media/bootsamsungloop.qmg
/system/bin/samsungani
Charging animations(power off);
/system/media/battery_charging_XXX.qmg
Shutdown sound;
/system/media/audio/ui/shutdown.ogg
Shutdown video (directory of .qmg);
/system/media/shutdown/
"The binary file for stock boot animations is /system/bin/samsungani as an FYI"

Thank you-Imoseyon! [EP1Q] GB Kernel W/Custom boot animation support! http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php...on-kernel-(leaked-stock-repacked-v0.22-9-4-11)
and everyone else that helped me compile this list
I hope this is a help anyone that needs to find these, and if there are changes to be made just post, and I will edit to correct.
You can delete the shutdown.qmg file and replace it with a png sequence and it will still play properly, for anyone interested.
.qmg files and limited suport for this new tech
Hello,
I have really been reading for 3 days and there is not much on this topic.
What I understand is that the .qmg files can be replaced on the Froyo versions if the Kernel supports it with png's but not GBE's. I have been successful in changing the the boot animations (only) .qmg's with .qmg's. These files are very limited in my searches and found some posted here.
http://www.nubecoder.com/files/android/SPH-D700/bootani-qmg/
png's (bootanimation.zip) will not work in the GB? Am I correct, because there is not yet a kernel to support the GBE's? Can anyone clarify or am I really messed up in my thinking.
TY

Imoseyon has a GBE Kernel which supports Bootanimation changes.
I tried custom boot animations on GB and the system never kills the process, so the boot animation keeps going unless you manually kill it via adb. That's the only reason I didn't include it in my repacked kernel.
Imoseyon Kernel v.22
Says it supports custom boot animation check it out!
Read OP on Imoseyon's OP for instructions
http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php...on-kernel-(leaked-stock-repacked-v0.22-9-4-11)
Ok so I have the pbj boot ani that imnuts posted over in the fascinate area and I got a different pbj boot up sound that is 17 secs long. The boot ani works fine but it cuts off the sound early. Is that because the Gummy 2.0 imoseyon kernel boots up the phone faster than normal?

I didn't say that custom boot animations didn't work, I said it never goes away. Maybe he did something different, I don't know, but I tried 3-4 different things to get the boot animation working properly in EP1Q, and it never worked right if it wasn't the stock boot animation.
bootanimation.zip
What I have found is that this does work if the file is renamed sanim.zip and the kernel supports it. These files contain .png's not .qmg
However I have not been able to get the orginal droid charge animation to work because it is in the .qmg format. I am on the EP1W voodoo kernel.

Turn off animations / sound?
I'm a bit of an "old school" linux guy - and like seeing my device boot messages as the device loads.
Is there a way you can turn off the animations and sound, and just get the boot messages?
I wonder how can i convert .png to .qmg
or just make it works because i want to change my charging animation

Hello all, this is my first post so please don't hit me to hard. I'll get right to it
I'm using a samsung vibrant and I'm currently using the obsidian 4.2 rom with the stock kernal.
Also using OCLF. Anyways I'm trying to change the boot animation that this rom uses and I can't seem to figure out how. the only files I can find in the /system/media file is a bunch of battery charge. Qmg files. No boot animation.zip files or anything. I do see the shut down png files but nothing else as far as the boot files. Is the file path for the startup boot different in this rom? I've tried moving files with managers, I've tried cmd commands but it all boils down to me not knowing where these boot animations should be pushed to. As of now its just the word android shining left to right a few times. No sound.
can you use any boot animation with any phone, such as one made for the motorola droids and use it on the g2x?
yeah, just modify they are stored on your phone in system/media. an easy way to change them would be to just download absolute system root from the market. there are hundreds to choose from, this also allows you to eaisly edit the downloaded boot animations resolution and framerate.
this is true only if you have a kernel/rom that supports bootanimation.zip... when i had my Vibrant i was on stock 2.2 and it wouldn't support it.. when i switched to a custom kernel like category worthless i was able to delete the old boot qmg files (i hope that was the right extension name) and replace with the bootanimation.zip i downloaded. It might be different on the g2x but i will research it.... i made a couple of boot animations for the vibrant so i knew what worked with it...
I found the files, pulled it, edited it with the new images and pushed it back. Yet it plays the same animation. Any ideas?
Bump, anyone? Im sure someone knows the problem... Thanks.

LOCATIONS OF SOUNDS AND ANIMATIONS
Startup sound;

Startup animation;
/system/media/bootsamsung.qmg
/system/media/bootsamsungloop.qmg
/system/bin/bootanimation
Shutdown sound;
/system/media/audio/ui/shutdown.ogg

Thanks man but as of right now we cant modify these, right?
So I used Root Explorer to rename the poweron.wav to poweron.wav.bak, and now I have no retardulous bootup sound!
Has anybody tried renaming the bootup animation files to or replacing them with null files or something? I wouldn't be surprised if it results in failed bootup.

The above sounds intimidating, but I would be stoked if somebody posted a walkthrough.
I was thinking it might best be left up the ROM developer, but I'm sure many people on a given ROM would want the boot animation. I would like it disabled, or better yet, I would like to see what the phone is doing (kindof like Windows XP Safe Mode Startup)
I put it in the title, and I'll put it here again because I KNOW someone will ask (or do worse)
THIS BOOT ANIMATION WILL ONLY WORK ON THE P6210 WITH KERNELS THAT SUPPORT BOOT ANIMATIONS. THAT CURRENTLY ONLY INCLUDES MY KERNEL FOR THE P6210 WITH A VERSION GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO 20120105.
I wonder how many people will ignore that and install it on the 20120102 version (which, honestly, will amuse me quite a bit as it'll have an interesting result.)
Credit where credit is due: The actual boot animation was modified from the animation provided in UnNamed 1.x for the AT&T SGSII by gtg465x. All I did was rotate all the images, tweak the dimensions of the control file, and stick it into a recovery installable update.zip file.
How to install:
Download it. Put it on your device. Boot into recovery and install .zip file from sdcard (or internal sdcard if you put it on the microSD.)
This is completely unsupported... it's only meant as a sample and proof of concept for the boot anims.
This post has a link to a youtube showing the boot anim: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21101682&postcount=8
Take care

Rock On dude! can someone post a teaser video! thanks garyd!!
dont know if this also removes boot up sound,
in case anyone cant figure it out it should be /system/etc/poweron.wav, you can play the .wav first to verify, if so rather than delete it just rename to backuppoweron.wav
cheers!
by the way i found a way how to change the bootanimation on my galaxy mini :
1. delete the 'bootanimation' located in /system/bin (better to backup)
2. then copy and rename 'samsungani' to 'bootanimation'
3. then delete (backup) the bootani.qmg located in /system/media
4. copy the bootanimation.zip file to /system/media
and, i tried this on my gtab 7+ p6200.
but on step 3, in /system/media there are bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg. i don't know which file to delete/replace.
is the bootsamsungloop.qmg ?
can someone help me?
how come that Gtab7+ doesn't support the bootanimation ? if we got samsung bootanimation means it can support any bootanim i guess. or whatcha you think ?

ive tried this method with renaming both of these files, bootanimation finishes and lockscreen/homescreen come up but bootanimation is frozen stuck covering the top 60% of screen.
I've got this already up and going on my tab with the stock ICS boot animation. Did it late last night. Didn't use this boot animation, modified my own from my galaxy s2.
I'll post a video today on how it looks. Much better than stock.
Thanks Gary.

Eh I wouldn't think so. Its only placing a file in /system/media. Not touching any other files.
As long as you have the kernel flashed you should be good to go.

Is there any way that the boot animation could be silent? The noise is disruptive in public settings if I get a random reboot, so I'm told, lol

Normally there is a power on audio file in /system/media/audio/ui but I can't see one.
Power off is in there though
EDIT found it!
/etc/1power_on.ogg
Delete that and bye bye boot up sound
Same here. its system/etc/1_poweron.ogg just renamed mine with root explorer.
This mod is only a "proof of concept" to demonstrate the changing of the boot animation using the kernel I posted in another thread. The boot sound is unrelated to the boot animation from the kernel point of view. Normally, the boot animation and/or sound would be changed by firmware developers.

Because Samsung insists on using their own wacky bootanimation binary and format.
So you need to either:
1) Replace the binary (manual effort, no "fallback" if no bootanim is present)
2) Add a script to the kernel initramfs that uses "standard" bootanim support if you have one present, and Samsung's as a fallback.

...and I shamelessly copied the script from Entropy512's work on the i777 to do just this for the 7+.
Is there anyway to get back to the stock animation from this?

You can simply delete the bootanimation.zip file in system/etc/media, I assume?

Thank ya thank ya and thanks again! That's been driving me nuts.
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?
I'm also interested in this.
You might want to read this thread my friends ...

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
