Didn't notice anyone's uploaded this for the Note so here it is. I just adjusted the leak boot animation from this thread to fit the fullscreen of the Note (instead of 720x1280 of the Prime). Check the thread to see a low-quality preview of how the boot animation looks like
Credits go to febycv
YOUR NOTE MUST HAVE ROOT (and CWM) TO USE THIS Get both from the CF ROOT thread or any kernel with CWM.
Instructions (modified from febycv's thread):
1. Download the required file to your sdcard
2. Use root explorer or equivalent to go to /data/local and place the bootanimation.zip there (if it doesn't work, try /system/media/).
4. Reboot
Download Here
EDIT: To get rid of / replace the Power On sound, delete/rename/replace /system/etc/1_Power_On.ogg (or something similar). The Power Off sound file is also in the same folder...
Thanks.
It works like a charm.
i dont kbow why. But i placed the file in data/local . But it didnt change anything. Hmm

You could try just placing it under /system/media/ also.

You need to have a kernel with CWM to use this without flashing. You would have lost that when you flashed the (stock) KKA firmware. Get the latest CFRoot KKA kernel from Chainfire's thread
Great !!!
Just changed my bootanimation - put it into: data/local -> workes fine !
THX very much !
Hi All
I downloaded the boot animation, its folder on my mac after the download and when i transfer it on my note, it says boot animation.zip
I took this and pasted it in the local folder, nothing happened... then i pasted it in media and still nothing happens !!!
I sure that the boot animation for my note is in the media folder since i can see many things in that folder and there is nothing in the local folder...
I am on the KKA firmware with the CF-rooted kernel which i downloaded from the chain fire's thread and its perfectly installed
But till now I have not been able to make this work...
Is there step i am missing??? do i need to tale some files out of the boot animation.zip and place it in the folders or just download the .zip from this thread and then move it to the folder on my note?? (this what i have been doing till now)

Hi
Can anybody help me in changing my milestone 2.1 boot logo?
I already rooted it and can do some changes like bootanimation using terminal emulator but can't find a way to change this boot logo.
Thanks a lot for reply.
I have also rooted my phone with GOT's Open Recovery, and done a backup with Nandroid, but was wondering how can I change that opening sequence.
I've downloaded some boot animations in .zip with the following structure:
\
\desc.txt
\part0
\part0\01.png
\part0\02.png
...
Where should I place the .zip or the folder with that content??
Thanks in advance.
May I know your phone model?
If it's Motorola Milestone, I can help.
Indeed, it is a Motorola Milestone.

When you have all the desc.txt and the part files you zip them Using store Then this .zip is placed in system > media there should already be one there.

Sorry, I'm afraid I didn't understand you.
How can I gain access to that folder if it's in the internal memory of the phone? Once that's done, should I overwrite the .zip stored in system\media?
Install Android Terminal Emulator from market and give permission to Superuser access.
Put bootanimation.zip folder in your sd card root.
Run Terminal Emulator and type the followings as exactly.
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2/dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
dd if=/sdcard/bootanimation.zip of=/system/media/bootanimation.zip
reboot
You should see some processing as you typed in the third line.
If you see the error, there might be a typo and retype the third line.
After reboot, you will see the custom bootanimation of your choice.
PS- There are many custom bootanimation.zip files out there and you can download them for free.
Hope this can help.

DroidX bootanimation, renamed to bootanimation.zip in /system/media ?
bootanimation and bootlogo are different.
bootlogo is the one u see first after reboot and bootanimation is the one with the animated features (actually .png files).
For my case, my bootlogo is our local teleco's one and probably Motorola put it as a default when they shipped for Singapore.
So they might use locked bootloader and kernel to prevent changing it.
For bootanimation, that zip file is in /system/media and you can swap it with another bootanimation at anytime.
But the case is you can't simply copy and paste it using Market Apps like "Root Explorer" or "AndExplorer" or smth like those as the /system/media folder is readonly.
So I used terminal emulator to change the bootanimation.
I could change it successfully but I still can't find my way to change the bootlogo so if anyone ever tried and changed it successfully, pls share your ways.
Thanks.

I can tell you where you'll find the files for changing the boot loader, but it won't be of any use:
Unpack the boot.img of the stone and there you'll find it somewhere, but since you have to repack the modified boot image again and flash it, you'll notice that it won't boot anymore because the signature has changed...so until they don't unlock their boot.img nothing can be done IMHO.

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

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.

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.

Step 1 :
Place the files "samsungani" and "bootanimation" in /system/bin
Make sure these files have execute permission (-rwxr-xr-x)
Step 2 :
Place "sanim.zip" in /system/media
This file contains the boot animation. You can use bootanimation.zip file from other threads but they should be renamed to sanim.zip to work properly.
ex thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1053250
Step 3 :
Remove "bootsamsung.qmg" and "bootsamsungloop.qmg" from /system/media
As a standard good practice, you can keep a backup of these files somewhere on your sdcard/pc.
Step 4 :
Reboot and enjoy !

That's when you don't copy the right sanim.zip to your system/media/ folder.
First of all when you download the custom "bootanimationfile".zip it's not enough just to rename it! you must extract the package, find bootanimation.zip (not sure about location inside .zip but i guess it is /data/local or /system/data/local.) THIS file must be renamed to sanim.zip and copied to your /system/media. IT must work if you followed other steps above. I'm pretty sure it works on every FW!
In my phone there is no bootanimation.zip . There are some bootanimation.omg files. I googled them up an found that they r samsung's propitory format.

Dude...read tutorial and that what I wrote one more time. Nobody said you have bootanimation.zip on your phone. Guide works like a charm!

Then you should cite the whole sentence
" First of all when you download the custom "bootanimationfile".zip it's not enough just to rename it! you must extract the package, find bootanimation.zip (not sure about location inside .zip but i guess it is /data/local or /system/data/local.) "
I was talking about one of the custom boot animations package ( that can be found e.g. here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1053250 ) even localization I mentioned concerns the .zip file not the system folder of your device.
Of course we don't have bootanimation.zip in our stock, we have sanim.zip instead. Which is written in OP's tutorial above.

LOL Kochan - this guy ain't getting it.... maybe he should just download 'ROM Toolbox' and change the boot anim's from there.....much simpler for the newbies
No offence meant at all, sometimes it's just easier to have a program do these things for you ^.^
Change boot animation ardatdat 1.6
Can't figure it out, it doesnt work - no way. Followed the Tutorial exactly and tried different things. Finally i tried the sanim.zip from the first post in this thread. Black bootscreen but with the crappy Samsung sound
Firmware is stock XWKJ4, with ardatdat kernel 1.6
Could the kernel be the problem??
Of course it works. I've used XWLA4 as well. Worked like a charm. It has nothing to do with kernel.
1) Have you downloaded packages, extracted (custom booting.zip )and replaced stock "samsungani" and "bootanimation" (in /system/bin) with those u got from package?
2)Have you removed "bootsamsung.qmg" and "bootsamsungloop.qmg" from /system/media?
3) Have you found a proper bootanimation.zip, renamed it to sanim.zip an placed in /system/media?
If you accomplished all steps above...your bootanimation.zip (sanim.zip) must be corrupted. Remember it's NOT a flashable package.! If you found somewhere a flashable version (it works only on AOSP/AOKP/CM roms) it must be extracted and then the right file must be copied to /system/media.
And one more thing. Bootanimation has nothing to do with bootsound. Wanna change bootsound, go to /system/etc and replace PowerOn.wav (this stands for bootsound), 1_Power_on.ogg (if you ignore this you won't be able to switch bootsound on/of together with setting you phone profile silent/normal) with your preferred ones.
You have to remove samsungani , then place bootanimation.zip
This was sent from a Galaxy Ace. Problem?
@m.kochan10
1. yes
2. yes, but there is also a file called "odeanim.qmg". Do you know what this is?
3. after fiddling around with my own files did`nt work i finally downloaded the sanim.zip from the first post here. I did not touch it and put it to system/media. No success! Of course my own animation also did not work. Tried to generate the animation with this Boot Animation Creator from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1234611. No success!
So there is no bootscreen now, i only see the Samsung GalaxyR letters then straight to homescreen. Thanks for the tip with the bootsound. Thats going to be the next i try. But first i need to change the animation.
Few questions:
a. does it matter if i take jpeg or png?
b. the pics of the animation need to have the resolution of my screen, right? 480x800
c. or do smaller pics just show up in the middle of the screen?
Thanks 4 helping!
2. Leave odeanim.qmg alone It won't help you by any means.
3. I attached a working sanim.zip just push it with root explorer to /system/media and reboot. We'll see if it work.
I'm sorry I cannot help you with your questions about creating bootanimation files. It's not my field (yet )
I give up!
-tried your sanim.zip - nothing.
-downloaded Custom Booting.zip again, unpacked it this time with Winrar instead of 7zip and copied them to system/bin (checked permissions-ok) - nothing.
There are not so many chances to f**ck this up but still it does`nt work.
Running out of ideas what to try out anyway.
So i just wait and hope for ICS, CM7, CM9 or whatsoever and give it another try then.
Where is the thread where i can ask for ETA of these roms?
(just joking...)
Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately I don't own the device so I cannot verify what goes wrong.
In worst case, since you've got nothing to lose, you may try to flash (sometimes you will have to flash several times - i don't know why, but I remember that sometimes I had to do it 8 times in a row before I managed to change a boot animation, you may even try wipe cache/dalvik cache) these zips:
a) Honeycomb - bumblebee 3D - Boot animation (I cannot promise it will work with first flash, but try few more times, it should work)
http://www.mediafire.com/?3kodfmmaxm1le3u
c) Stock One (If you totally give up and wish to revert to stock; same here)
http://www.mediafire.com/?jh76pi7fj6pmr2z
DO NOT EXTRACT: THEY ARE FLASHABLE via CWM!
Since Stock One was no option at all to me: Flashed the Honeycomb - bumblebee 3D once with with wiping cache and dalvik - works perfekt! Gonna try to change it to my own animation soon.
cheers man...
---------- Post added at 02:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:14 AM ----------
Wanted to go to bed after last post but could`nt wait to try out. So i put my own sanim.zip instead of the one from Bumblebee 3D and IT WORKS!!!

Is there any way to change boot animation on Samsung Galaxy R ICS 4.0.4? I tried something i found here on forum and now i dont have any boot animation and i wanted a ICS stock animation :crying:
Not stock ICS, but this is greatest boot animation I saw so far, and SGS3 shut down animation, so first U must be rooted to do this or any system modification...
Those are just files in .rar archive, so not for flashing with CWM or something similar. Just decompress-copy-paste files in their respectiv system folders.
First unpack, now Boot archive contains two files and you should place them in SYSTEM/MEDIA folder, second one is shut down animation and place this file in
SYSTEM/MEDIA/VIDEO/SHUTDOWN folder, use root explorer (paid but great), or solid explorer (free) or any other explorer with root permissions :victory:

The Great Boot Animation for ICS
Hey Guys,
Happy to announce that I have successfully installed the Boot animation in Angeek ROM. Its a great Boot Animation with colourfull Android.
Here is the procedure for Flashing the boot animation for the Rom:
1) Download the Attached file & Just put it into Sdcard.
2) Now go to -> system/media & change bootanimation.zip to oldbootanimation.zip
3) Copy the downloaded bootanimation.zip to system/media
4) Give rights to the file of -rw--r--r
5) reboot your Phone.
But for safely purpose, take the backup first.
Thanks & have a nice weekend buddies.
Pls press Thanks if you like this boot animation.

Happy to announce that I have successfully installed the Boot animation in Angeek ROM as well. Its a great Boot Animation with colourfull Android.
Here is the procedure for Flashing the boot animation for the Rom:
1) Download the Attached file & Just put it into Sdcard.
2) Now go to -> system/media & change bootanimation.zip to oldbootanimation.zip
3) Copy the downloaded bootanimation.zip to system/media
4) Give rights to the file of -rw--r--r
5) reboot your Phone.
But for safely purpose, take the backup first.
Thanks & have a nice weekend buddies.
Pls press Thanks if you like this boot animation.

Procedure for changing Bootanimation in any ROM
Hi Friends,
Below is the procedure for changing the Boot animation in any ICS ROM. But it has one limitation. You have to be in the below attached ardatdat 4.1 kernel to have the Boot animation working. Thanks to wanamsmile
Make a backup of bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg from /system/media and remove them
Now make a backup of samsungani and bootanimation from /system/bin
Download the attached samsungani and bootanimation (Unzip the package) and paste it into /system/bin. It will overwrite the existing files
You can get any of the custom bootanimation file. The name shud be bootanimation.zip. One custom bootanimation file is given here
Place the file in /system/media
Download the attached ardatdat 4.1 (modified) and place it in ur sdcard
Reboot to CWM and flash the kernel
Reboot the mobile. Now u will have new custom bootanimation
Is it possible to do it with ardatdat's 4.2 b6 kernel?

Trying on it buddy. Currently getting boot loop. Will let u know if it works
Hello, I would like to install a new boot animation.
I rooted my S3, installed Rom toolbox pro and went through the different boot animations. I previewed several of them. Installed the one I liked (actually changed the size to the max size as well, hopefully this isn't the cause of the issue I'm having). and even viewed the current animation (which it actually showed the one I choose).
I then rebooted as I couldn't find any other options for confirming that I selected a new animation. However my phones original animation continues to show.
With this I did a little digging and on a youtube video someone eluded to having to move the animation to another file, but gave no direction on how to perform this task.
I can't seem to get the animation to actually install or become my boot animation. What am I doing wrong? Please help
Edit: I've looked through similar threads on this forum and while at least 1 of them had the same issue, I couldn't find a solution that fixes this issue. (unless I just completely missed it of course and in that case please just point me in the right direction)
Thank you for taking the time to look and any help you can provide
Ok, I'm really pulling my hair out here. All of the videos and instructions I have found have looked really simple (just click this button "install" and it works) whereas when I follow their "insturctions" nothing happens.
I know this is a simple process here but I am missing something.

in system/media there should be a file named bootanimation.zip overwrite it. fix permissions to match the folder/old one :good:
so the easiest way to get them from romtoolbox would be to download and move like i said. not the safest to let it install on its own.
also, half of the boot animations on there are not even in the correct dimensions. there are plenty of places on XDA and other sites where you can find WAY more , and probably in the correct size. hope this helps.
another thing : in the themes and apps section, there are even flashable boot animations. saves some of the hassle.

Thank you so much for the reply, however (as I am newer) I am stuck.
I went into system > Media and found no such file as bootanimation.zip.
I have seen this solution before, so I know others have had success with it. However it isn't there.
I have root access and I'm access this file system through rom toolbox, root browser.
There are no .zip files in that folder at all. The closest I came to is bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg
Now, I did check out the theme and app section but couldn't find this same issue there.
Thank you for your assistance.
Update:
I downloaded Root Explorer and found the file you were referring to. Another thread suggested to rename the file bootanimation_bak.zip. I thought that route was a little less evasive as it didn't really get rid of the old boot animation. However, when I did that and copied the new animation in it still registered the original animation.
So, with that said, should I follow your first instructions as to overwrite the original file or is there something else here that I'm missing?

Try renaming the original bootanimation file to bootanimation.zip.bak then move the boot animation you want to system/media and name it bootanimation.zip. If that doesn't work it might be that the rom/kernel doesn't support custom boot animations.

No dice.
I thought you were on to something here as I found the system/media folder and had to change the permission to r/w and placed the boot animation.zip into it. However my old persistent one keeps popping up.
Now maybe I'm totally skipping a whole step here that everyone is assuming I'm taking. Do I have to have a custom Rom installed? I haven't done that yet, as none of the videos I've watched had instructed to do so. I'm rooted, that's it at this point.

Yes, the issue is the kernel not the rom. Your stock kernel is overwriting the boot animation. Considering you did do everything as the other user instructed you to do. You renamed the stock boot animation to .Bak and you renamed the one you want to play bootanimation.zip and placed it in the same folder?

It's should look like this look at the bootanimation zip file and the one right above it. View attachment 2181260

Ok here are a couple screen shots of what I'm working with. I have followed every instruction through this thread.
This first shot is of the System/media folder. I pasted my new bootanimation.zip file here. Originally there was not a Bootanimation file here at all.
View attachment 2181932
This second screenshot of the Data/local folder. This is where the orginal bootanimation.zip file was located. I was instructed to rename it as Bootanimation_bak.zip and paste my new Bootanimation.zip file here. Then was suggested that I change it from "_bak.zip" to ."zip.bak". Neither suggestion worked. Then it was suggested to move my new bootanimation.zip from the Data/local folder to the system/media folder. I did so and I changed the original name back to bootanimation_bak.zip. And this is where I currently am stuck at.

Now, I haven't done anything with my bootloader. I'm wondering if that is my issue, if I need to unlock my bootloader. I didn't want to get to involved with things that I didn't understand to fast and felt that replacing my boot animation seemed simple enough. So, do I need to unlock my boot loader?
Thanks so much for all of the time and effort.
As another user mentioned the stock kernel you are using doesn't allow you to use a custom boot animation. You will have to unlock your boot loader in order to flash a custom kernel that allows you to change the boot animation.

Ok, thanks. I just unlocked the boot loader. How do I know which kernel I should flash? Any suggestions?

Just make sure the kernel you flash is for your carrier and either touch wiz or aosp. If you're stock rooted it will be touch wiz. Just look through the development forums and find what works best for you. Right now I'm on bonestock rom with stock kernel but I really like Zeus kernel as well.
