With permission from the very gifted grafix man TonicAcid from the vibrant Forum. Here are some already made Boot/Shutdown animations.
Plus a tutorial to help create your own

Understand that these files are set up to be flashed with CWM which we do not have. They have to be Non- flashable and moved using Root Explorer or similar app.
I am awaiting a reply from TonicAcid that will tell me what needs to be removed from CWM version to make them work right for us.
(Edit) confirmed: we can pull the bootanimation file from the flashable files and push them with root explorer or something that does the samething.
If you create any Non-Flashable Boots post them for others if you like:
Awesome, I found quite a few I like here

try and check the droid forums, someone may have posted the dump for device which may include the bootup animations.

so all you have to do is just rename it to bootanimation.zip and push it to system/data?

Yep that's all you gotta do. Make sure you delete the samsungboot and the samsungbootloop files in /system/media

Hmmmmm... i'm having issues here.
I had these running with 2.1uv kernel, but now with 3.1uv they don't want to take.
deodexed KD1
3.1uv kernel
removed the boot and bootloop samsung files, copied the bootanimation.zip to /system/media and i get no animation at all....
used to work when i was running 2.1uv. the original galaxy s animations work fine, but not bootanimation.zip...
any advice?
I use an app called bootanimation utility and it works fine.
You can import your own, or choose from some downloads. I currently have a cm7 one.

then you're pushing it to the wrong place. you place bootanimation.zip to system/media. shutdown sound goes in system/media/audo/ui. shutdown folder goes in system/media/video.

I've already did that sir. But still it is blank screen for my bootanimation. What else I can do?

hmm....so....
you downloaded an animation from this link, right?:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1053250
when you download the file, it comes in a zip file. open the zip file and you should notice a system folder. open that system folder and open the media folder within it. you should see a bootanimation.zip. that file is the one you are copying to system/media on your phone, right?
i know some people simply download the file and rename it to bootanimation.zip. they are actually renaming the cwm flashable file and not pushing the correct zip. you do not have to rename anything during this process. i would say to try and flash it, but for some reason, it never works for me, but you are more than welcome to try and flash it yourself. the above method is just in case that doesnt work.
I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction for the stock ringtones and notification sounds that come on the infuse. I'm on MIUI 10.4 and I don't like any of those sounds. It would be much appreciated
Download any stock based rom. Should be found in System > media > audio or something like that.

That's what he meant. You can download the rom and extract the tones from the zip without having to flash it.

Okay, so I have been able to get a bootanimation.zip that i want. I placed it in /data/local... I reboot and it still shows the old swirling Samsung logo...But it does play my custom boot sound (awesome)... I haven't really seen any SGS4G specific threads...and the ones to other phones kind of run me in circles. Not looking for a hand out, just a heading...any idea? Something im PROBABLY missing...
Oh and i gave the bootanimation.zip god privileges...not sure if it matters
Running on 2.3.5 KI3 from Octiane V2.0 (awesome ROM BTW)
at the moment our gingerbread kernels do not support custom boot animations. I'm sure once we have a source to work with, will have full support.

OK first try with this app. I rooted my girls stock gingerbread droidx (if u need help rooting it stock gb droid x u can email me.)then u can download root toolbox and they have a section for boot animation, select one u like and install it. with this app u can even change splash screen and battery icon but for icon u will need pro version. u can just go to ipmart and download it for gree. anyways..... if this does not work u will have to do it manually which may seem scary but its quite simple. first get the bootanimation.zip u want and rename it(if u r with verizon) VZW_bootanimation.zip then download super explorer and then go to ur phones internal system /custom/reasourses and first want to go to that location and copy past the original bootanimation of phone and save to soundcard incase u want to change back to it in system/customize/reasourses and delete ,it will be names VZW_bootanimation.zip. now the custom animation can be added. go copy the custom animation go back to system/customize/reasourses and paste new animation a boom it will work I promise. note if for some reason when u restart phone and no animation is there dont worry nothing is broken the animation isn't allay compatible so just find another on and follow all the steps again minus saving the boot u had added u can just delete it.. now what I desperetly need help with is adding custom sound. I have tried many different thing with no results but negative. ive tried deleting the old sound file and renamwd new sound as old one and placed in system/customize/reasourses no sound , I even went into system/customize/cd/default.xml and changes the writing that tells the system when to play music to autostart="part0" /> no go ,="part1" /> no go. neither worked. I even unzipped the bootanimation.zip and renamed the folder VZW and changed back autostart="VZW" ect which was the original setting and no go. ive tried renaming file and placing it in system/media and pasteing no go, ive tried copying file and pasteing it in system/meadia/notification like some direction have said and no go. im at a lose of what to do. I have a thunderbolt running stock gb and want to customize the sound for bootanimation so if anyone can help please email me [email protected]. thanku and I await ur response

Considering this is for the Samsung galaxy s 4g, you technically are in the wrong forum. Our phones use a qmg file for animations as far.as I know, so bootanimations.zip will not work, I've already tried the method you posted, without success.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
there's a few custom ones in the theme section. You just have to push all the files manually.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using Tapatalk
then its quite simple just rename ur new bootanimation exactally as ur old one a boom there u go. its not that difficult and if that doesnt work try something simple and download romtoolbox and install if from therr. if it works on the droid x it should that one

also u probably not only have to name it correctly u may have to try androidzip and change it to that kind of file type if not that do so on ur computer. were Theres a will Theres a way. also make sure ur permissions r correct

I will try that. If the qmg file is truly a zip file with its own custom file extension, then it should work, if its not, then it will display nothing. I'll back up just in case, but I was told by a developer on this phone (I believe raver), that it wasn't supported by the kernel.

Let me know if that works, i'm out for a few days...I'll try when I get home. However, the second response to my post was that it's unsupported... But if there is a work around, that would be sweet.

Rename your wavfile to PowerOn.wav and push to system/etc
Make sure you name it exactly PowerOn.wav, matching the upper case P and O is necessary to make it work.
Edit:Got beat to the punch by a Rabid Panda lol
thats the problem im having i did that but no sound when i turn it off the shutoff sound works did i do something wrong

try a smaller lower quality sound file... mine are no more than 16hz

I've been searching around for a transparent dialer for the stock Rogers ics rom. I don't want to flash a custom rom at the moment & the dialers on the play store such as exdialer etc don't allow you to clear the recent calls without deleting the logs. If anyone could point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Hmmm
I have been using this: m4570d0n
But my device is rooted, and you should run a nandroid backup before you try this, might bork a factory rogers setup like yours.
Hopefully it is what you are looking for.

What you are looking for is a modded version of the Contacts.apk that has a transparent theme for the phone app. The Contacts.apk is both the "people" app (what you would typically assume is the Contacts app) and the "phone" app (dialer, missed calls log, etc.). The Phone.apk is just just for the in-call stuff only. The only way to do that is to either theme it yourself or find one that has been themed already. However, it also has to be a Contacts.apk that's based on the touchwhiz(stock) framework. Anything AOSP-based (CM9, AOKP, etc) will not work.
I have no idea if this will still work as I believe it was based on a now outdated version of Sky ICS but you can try.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599228
Save it to your sdcard. Then open up a root file browser like Root Explorer or Solid Explorer and move the file to /system/app. Then change permissions on the file to rw-r--r-- and change the owner/group to root. Then reboot and you're good to go.
As always, make a backup of the original Contacts.apk.
edit: made a typo and accidentally deleted the permissions to change. That's what I get for typing this from my phone.

And if I post my contact apk won't all my contacts be made public?

The other thing that I noticed, was my contact is less than 2meg, while the contact apk that silverwrx posted earlier in this thread, is about 3.5meg? Just wondering why there's such a big difference in size?

Nah, not as far as I can remember. You should consider replacing that stock keyboard though, it is really bad
Are you on a stock rom or custom rom? if on a custom rom you can change them with a little work..
All you need is to find the sounds you want in .ogg format. There are 4 keyboard sound files.
KeypressDelete.ogg KeypressReturn.ogg KeypressSpacebar.ogg and KeypressStandard.ogg
rename your ogg files to the above. Then push them to the phone using adb to /system/media/audio/ui
reboot and enjoy your new sounds... If you do not know how to do this send me a pm with what you
are running and what you would like and I could probably make you a zip to flash in recovery...
I'm on a custom ROM. I was on another ROM a while back and the keyboard had a type writer sound which was pretty cool but the ROM always hot booted throughout the day so I switched to aokp jb. I can probably pull the sounds from the other ROM and if you can make a flash able zip with that? Idk but I'll send you a pm in a bit.

You can be on stock and do this also. You can change every sound your phone makes by replacing every ogg file here-just make sure the names remain the same.
