I am trying to get the Nexus Prime Boot Animation to work on my rooted I727 stock rom and kernel.
I have tried placing the bootanimation.zip in both these locations and it doesn't work.
/data/local
/system/media
I just want to get rid of the ATT animation any help would be great.
AT&T has the worst boot animation ever! It would be nice to get that leaked Galaxy Nexus animation on there.
Confirming the locations in the OP doesn't change the boot animation. I've also tried all of the free apps in the market. Ugghh..
This is what happens when Samsung decides to use their own customized boot animation instead of the standard Android method. I'm sure there will be a workaround soon enough...

Searched high and low on how to change boot animation on VZ SGS3.....Besides changing over to custom kernel to use bootanimation.zip, seems that I have to change the bootani.qmp and another file. Couldn't find a clear how-to for this one. CleanRom 2.5 gave me "Samsung" bootanime, but trying to completely debrand my phone, and have Andy piss on Apple on boot...worked fine on the custom kernels, but CleanRom 2.5 uses stock kernel. Help would be super!! What files do I replace in /system/media for boot? How do I convert animation to .qmp file?
(BTW: extended battery with extended cover gives the phone some thickness and weight - not as slippery - back cover debranded and with 4100mA have 2hrs 26min talk time, 3hrs 42min screen, 15hr 28min standby, not plugged in since 7am, still on 42%!
Thanks

Works on the SCH-i535. Followed the steps, though the animation gets stuck in a loop and doesn't boot the phone.
Ideas??
That file format (qmp) is owned by Samsung, so you really are stuck unless the kernel is changed or you buy their imaging software, I would like boot ani's and to change the splash, but both are kernel related, hope this helps!
The link posted is to script that will change the bootani, some got utilities to work, I get stuck in loops.

It will only change it if your kernel supports it, ie beans & synergy. Being on essentially a stock kernel, clean 2.5, it won't work
edit:tried it and got loops also
I know it's been asked before and there's been no answer. So I'll ask again. I'm running Bean's v6 and while it's a great ROM (I think SD Card usage is high because of my Nandroid blobs) I wanted to tweak the boot animation to that of a regular Verizon Galaxy S3. From a stock OTA install of a Galaxy S3, I transferred bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg to System/Media on my phone while renaming bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.bac. Thing is now I only get the default ANDROID boot animation. When I check Data/Local (the other boot animation location) I find nothing in the folder. I am using the kernel from here. So while the kernel supports boot animations, where can I find a working zip of the original boot animation for the Verizon Galaxy S3?
I believe Clean ROM thread has the stock one meant for your kernel. Look in the op

Thanks for the response! However, after flashing the zip found in the second post here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1832070 I only have a blank screen after the 'Samsung Galaxy S III' static screen. On the plus side I think my phone is booting a bit faster. On the negative side it isn't the original (or any) boot animation that came with my phone. I'm cool with this too... any other recommendations on how to get the original animation back? At this point, at the very least, I'm thinking I'll need to reflash the kernel to get back custom animation support.
ok so i had an og droid then got a droid 3 now i have an amazing gs3. im not used to samsung phones but on my moto phones i had custom boot audio to go along with a custom boot animation and splash screen. custom splash screen and boot animation no problem. im on pacman rom gapps 4.2.1 and i have a copy of system/media/ from stock firmware with poweron.ogg and poweroff.ogg etc some of the sounds from the ui folder work but i can not figure out how to get the power on sound to work. i tried placing boot_audio.mp3 in system/media i have an .ogg version as well i just dont know what im doing wrong or what i can do to enable the power on sound because it seems to be disabled on this rom lack of system/media/ui files i replaced the files with stock. permissions something like that rw-rw-r-. what can i do help please?
Sorry don't know much about boot audio, but how did you get custom splash on 4.2 ROM mine is plain black screen after I flashed with zip from splash screen creator in themes and mods section

I'm looking to put the original Verizon 4G/LTE boot animation with the music and all back into my phone that's using CleanROM 6 r2. I'm looking for either a flashable zip file, or a bootanimation.zip file that I can put in /system/media with permissions 644. I tried working with the one from here that looked like a good bet, and all I got was a blank page during boot:
http://www.scottsroms.com/showthread.php?2668-Kernel-Request&
Did anyone else have any luck with flashing the above boot animation, or have a source for one that might work? I've been looking for some time, and haven't found anything that works yet.
Really like CleanROM, and really liked the original Galaxy S3 boot animation as well...no accounting for taste, I guess *smile*.
Thanks very much.
I am not a complete noob, as I have changed boot animations on many droid devices, but for some reason I can not figure how to change the boot ani on my note 2 or s3. I have tried every single way on the internet multiple times. for some reason just cant get it. if someone could tell me if it is possible on the Verizon versions of these phones. both are rooted with boot loaders installed. stock rom though. maybe have to install custom rom, I am not sure though. any help is appreciated. thanks
