Hey guys, I have been told to post this here as I have not made enough posts..
I tried to change my boot animation, by placing the bootanimation.zip file in both /system/media and /data/local and all still plays the Samsung boot logo although with no sound.. So searched through the forums here and everyone tells you that you need a custom rom to get it to work if your phone has the /system/media/bootsamsung.qmg file...
I then cooked a package from romkitchen and installed that but have the same issue, even though I can see the bootanimation.zip file in /system/media/ I can also still see the bootsamsung.qmg as well.
I have only just got this phone about a week ago, so have searched thoroughly, in case I was missing something but i don't think I am..
Can someone help me with what’s going on?
No one able to help me with this one?
Hm you should easily be able to change bootanimation with the rom kitchen.
Remember that you can not change the white text at the beginning of the boot.
I think the files stay there, they dont get removed, just another one gets used if its present, if not the stock animation will be used.

Thanks for the reply,
I'm not sure if this helps, I have cooked a new one today and applied and it said to keep this log incase I have issues.
http://romkitchen.org/logs/G0ceUf3inJ.txt
I can see the file is in the folder, it just does not seem to take affect.
I am assuming that people have got these working on i9000's before and it's just me..
I still have not managed to get this working, starting to think that I am tripping..
All it seems to do is kill the samsung boot sound.
Anyone else got any ideas?

Do you use a stock rom?
This probably doesn't work because your android is not looking for the bootanimation.zip.
Custom ROMs have a modded start up script which tells the system to look for the .zip file.
I am using a rom from rom kitchen..
I have changed it again since I made post above but still a custom rom..

Did you try downloading a new wipe rom with a different bootanimation build in from start?
Yes, wipe rom, Hardcore's Kernel, boot animation, and everything else is prittly much the default setting in rom kitchen

Did you delete the boot animation file out of system/media,&put the new animation zip AND rename it to the same name as the one you deleted?
Sent from my EVO 4G using XDA Premium App
I have tried selecting the bootanimation from RK, and also downloading one from elsewhere and replacing the one that is there.
Both have the same effect..
Weird,I had trouble switching mine too. The only way I've been able to do it is using the app called File Explorer. It's like 10 dollars on the market, but I found it for free. I put the new zip on my card, then file explorer/system/media, delete the boot animation zip,paste the new zip & rename it to the name of the zip that was there. It's worked every time. Flashing a new splash screen is a little different....

I will try this again now and see how i go..
Just to clarify the splash screen is the white text right?
I am not trying to change that just the colored samsung animation.
The splash screen is the first screen you see when you turn your phone on. It doesn't move, & most often just says the name of the phone. Then the boot animation comes on, it moves & plays some kind of music. Do you have file explorer? If not, don't buy it,I can help you get it for free.

I have Root Explorer that I use to access that location.
I have tried another bootanimation from this spot -http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905538
I tried both of the sizes for the AndroidParticles2 and set the permissions to rw-r-r
(Renaming to bootanimations.zip and placing in system\media)
but still the samething happens.
Yeah, my bad,I meant Root Explorer. But it had to be bootanimation.zip take the s off

Sorry typo, I don't have the s on my i9000.
Well that's how I change mine. I did download a particle ring android (blue) and couldn't get it to work right. Seems to me like you're doing everything right. There's one other option I know of. Download a free program called android flasher.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794638
You should be able to flash boot animations & splash screens with no problem. It is a .rar, so if you don't have the program you'll need to download winrar or something similar to extract & install the files. Google it, the program is free.

Thanks for your help today, at least I know now that I wasn't just doing something stupid.
Wondering if anyone can help...I love the Trinity kernel but I really don't like the splash screen and boot image it installs, and when I try to go into themes and select another boot sequence it doesnt override the Trinity one. Any ideas or help??
I am running MIUI with Trinity
Just a question but do you mean you download the boot animation and flash it through clockwork.

Download the bootanimation you want and drag the bootanimation.zip into /system/media. The splash screen i dont know how to change but i would also like to know...
using application such as Root Explorer
find or make an animation file (format ZIP) I can provide one
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7B5J2XBE
copy or paste it to /system/media , replace the old one , and set permission , i don't remember exactly what permission , but i am using 777
this is my current boot amination from cartoon "Neon Genesis Evangelion", of course you can find other ones you like, this is just for you to know it and comprehend it
remember , most important is SET PERMISSION
if you DO NOT set permission , you will be experience unstoppable reboot loop , you just keep rebooting ...only way to recover is using recovery to restore your backup or flash new ROM, maybe you can fix it via ADB in bootloader, but i don't know
any way , you better back your system up by recovery

be careful with MIUI , specially when you apply theme , if theme contains boot sound or boot animation , it may replace and overrun the default
there's also an app call ROM toolbox ( i have the paid app ) and there's many different options, one being the ability to change the boot animation ( with around 150 options ). i would definitely check it out.
sounds nice , but it will makes you feel more sense of fulfillment if you get it done by you own, don't you think
You can't lose the Trinity splash screen unless you compile the kernel yourself without it.

I have been searching on xda for some time now and here is a question. I am looking to change my bootanimation on the s3 as I am not happy with the verizon animation. When I had the droid bionic, all I had to do was change the name of the animation in system/media and place the new one and change accordingly. I saw two posts in here that did not exactly answer the question completely. If I flash an animation with cwm do I need to rename or move anything in system/media beforehand? Can the animation be extracted and just placed in the system/media folder? What is the best way to do this? I am rooted, stock with frozen bloat and some inverted gapps.
If you are rooted, you can use ROM Manager to change your boot animation quickly.
I have tried with rom toolbox however it did not work and I believe it mentioned something in rom toolbox about how it will not change if samsung uses a qmg format. Basically, I am asking for directions on how to change the boot animation once I have the new bootanimation.zip on my sd card. Is it even possible on the stock rooted s3?
I just used rom toolbox, found the one I wanted and installed it. Then went to recovery and flashed it, it showed an error, but I just left it alone and rebooted, and now I have a dancing droid! I would also recommend buying the full version so you can use the randomizer, its a fun feature.

I have the full version but changing the boot animation definitely does not work on a rooted stock ROM setup.
The bootanimation.zip support is dependent on a custom kernel on Samsung devices. In stock form only .qmg format will play. No one to this point can edit or create .qmg files, they are proprietary to Samsung devices and their Bada OS. If you want to change it you will need to flash imnuts' lean kernel (assuming you are stock rooted as it is a touchwiz kernel). On a side note i personally think the boot animation from the droid charge is pretty BA and is floating around the net in .qmg format, don't know if it would work or not though due to differences in screen resolution. Here it is if you want to give it a try, just unzip and rename/paste the files where they need to go. It also has audio, place in system/media/audio/ui.
http://db.tt/spY4QX4p
Like i said,i have no clue if it will actually work or not but you could try ..... or just flash the kernel and use whatever lol. It's not my fault if it breaks stuff. Sorry for the long winded answer.

Thank you. I just changed the animation to the stock Samsung one that I believe came on the i9300. Nothing special, but it is 100 times better than that Verizon boot animation.
Did you flash the zip file in recovery? If you use the randomizer I don't think you have to flash the zip though.

I did the same thing. I also swapped the PowerOn.ogg and PowerOff.ogg files for files with no sounds so the boot up and shutdown are now quiet. The replacement audio files may be found in this thread.

You can edit the .qmg files. You have to use Samsung's Theme Designer to view the .pngs. From there, you can edit the bootanimation how you like.
can the png sequence be extracted now? I wrote off using the theme designer a long time ago because i could not extract them

I presumed that if elreyden was able to change the animation to the i9300 stock one, that I should be able to do it also. The animation that he refers to won't work with a stock rom (contains jpg, not qmg files), hence my confusion. I thought I must have had found the wrong link.

Not sure what your particular situation is, but try putting the bootanimation.zip (not a flashable file. If you have one of those, extract the bootanimation.zip) to /data/local/ instead.
Tried it and it didn't work. I've given up - there doesn't seem to be a solution for stock rom. I will wait and probably flash a rom when they've had a chance to get solid.

I'm on a stock rom and changed my VZW animation to the I9300 w/o any real problem, other than locating the qmg files. I've included to 2 files that I used in the attached zip so you should have it pretty easy To use them simply extract the files and put them into the /system/media folder using Root Explorer or whatever root based file utility you prefer. I simply renamed my existing versions and then copied these into the folder and made sure the permissions were the same. Once done I rebooted and the VZW version was nowhere to be seen.
It's also possible to replace the audio files. I wound up using "empty" files so I no longer have to listen to startup/shutdown sounds either. :good:
ETA: Here's the link to the thread with the silent startup & shutdown sounds. Scroll down to post #9.

Thank you. I did this last week and it worked great. Stock Samsung bootanimation is less annoying than the Verizon 4glte one.
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:
Liked the shut down animation very much.
Is there any other boot animation available?
I'm already having the boot animation provided here as i'm in Neo Rom v3. Need a change

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.

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.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
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?

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.
