(Tut) How to get back to stock boot animation.

I see a lot of ppl that are on custom roms that would like stock animation and sound back. So i figured i would share this. I take no credit for this. Im just simply rewriting and summarizing what i found over in the Stratosphere section on rootzwiki. Credit goes to icebear for finding the files and to buffaloquinn for posting what to do with them. You can find that thread here
Download stock files here
In Root Explorer (or other file manager)
Navigate to /system/media/
(change to R/W)
In /system/media/
Rename bootsamsung.qmg -> bootsamsung.bak
Rename bootsamsungloop.qmg -> bootsamsungloop.bak
Copy bootani.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg (from wherever you have them) to the /system/media/ directory
Rename bootani.qmg -> bootsamsung.qmg
In /system/etc/
Replace the PowerOn.wav file with stock Droid version (If your on infinity rom or another rom that doesnt have boot sound. Then just add the wav file to the /system/etc/ directory)
Change back to R/O
Reboot to the Droid animation

Nice job writing it up but lol that dang boot sound is the first thing I kill. I either edit it out or replace it.

Thanks! Sound is optional though. I just figured i would include how to do it all. If anybody doesn't want any sound then just delete the .wav file in the directory.

Im running tweakstock 1.4 and the audio changed but the animation did not

Are you running the latest pbj kernel? If so, go into /system/media and delete "sanim. Zip".

Hey I am running jellybeer v3.54 on galaxy note, N7000.
I just wanted to know if this method will work on it too.
thanks in advance!:good::fingers-crossed:

Well, they're different devices so my tentative answer is no. But we're not going to stop you, so if you want to try it, be my guest. You'd probably get much better feedback in your own forum.

Unfortunately, it didn't work,:crying:
Jellybeer only recognises "bootanimation.zip" file.

Those are universal boot animation type I think. Do a search of the entire site for boot animations.

[Q] Boot animations

Can anybody direct my to a good thread on how to use jrummy's boot animation app? Or a good thread on changing boot animations period? Thanks everyone.

Changing boot animations is easy
1) Get a root explorer app (es file explorer is free and you can enable root under settings)
2) download boot animation
3) paste it in /system/media using the root explorer
4) make sure the name matches the previous one
5) make sure the permissions are rw, r, r
6) reboot and enjoy

Thanks much. So there isn't an app that will do this?

So in step 4 do I make sure it has the exact same name as the previous or just the same suffix? And how do I change permissions on it?

Generally by pressing and holding on the file and selecting permissions but it depends on what app your using

trey...you have to read the advice given.
read mg's instruction again.
review this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437548
there is a lot of info there...may need to read it several times

I've read and applied all the steps as written but still am just getting the Samsung then nothing where the at&t bootanim used to be..
Be Real or Don't Be

Permissions are typically RW,R,R aka Read Write, Read, Read
most ROMs have the animation named as bootanimation.zip, but some are sanim.zip
Also...many people have difficulty changing animations on rooted stock...I suspect it has something to do with the kernel
Lastly...idk about any apps that can change the boot animation for you...but they probably do exist...
Sent from my SGH-I997 using Tapatalk 2

Mg.. You are correct. The stock kernel does not run the service that plays these boot animations.

Changing CM10.1 bootanimation

Hello guys,
I want to change the Andromadus CM10.1 (build 12) bootanimation with the R2D2 bootanimation in this link (http://androidbootanimation.com/category/800x480-boot-animations/page/2/)
I have renominated the stock bootanimation.zip in bootanimation_old.zip and copied the one from the site in /system/media and renominated bootanimation.zip
Although it seems I have done something wrong because when i reboot the phone I get stock "Android" bootanimation in boot. I have read many threads but it seems that apart from sense rom, the procedure is just the same.
Is there anyone that can help sort it out?
Thank you

Use a file explorer (such as ES) select the file's "Properties" and change the Permissions to RW-R-R

Some bootanimations work for me, and some dont, is it the file problem or what? Both are the same animation, one has the loop section, and I zipped 'em with winrar with store mode, why the loop one doesnt work? I have changed the txt

[Stock] International Note 3 Bootanimation

Hi guys I have tried to get the stock international note 3 bootanimation along with the stock boot animation sound of the international note 3. I have tried on mine and it works ok. Remember to make a backup copy of the files you will replace in case you something happen or you dont want it.
Directions
1. Unzip the folder
2. Copy the bootsamsung.qmg, bootsamsungloop.qmg, bootsamsungmini.qmg, bootsamsungminiloop.qmg on system/media folder ( Make sure you correct the permission)
3. Copy the PowerOn.ogg on system/media/audio/ui (Make sure the permission is correct)
4. Reboot and no more At&t Crap bootanimation
UPDATE: Added shutdown animation of stock international
1. Unzip the folder
2. Copy the shutdown.qmg to system/media folder Make sure the permission is correct (now on at&t just removed the shutdownloop.qmg not sure if that file is present on t-mo but you can remove it or just transfer it to your sd card)
3. Reboot and you wont have the loop circle animation when you shutdown your device

Thank you sinichi21! Works perfectly. Finally rid of the last att crapware on my Straight Talk device.

I am on TMO and want to get rid of it as well.
Does this take care of the shutdown stuff as well?

I don't have T-mo but I added on the op the shutdown animation of stock international you can try it and see

Verified that this does not trip Knox!
Thank you sir! I was trying to get rid of the AT&T boot animation before through Rom Toolbox but it just made my lockscreen flash on/off. This is a cleaner solution.
I opted to not use the sound file, but renamed the stock one to PowerOn.bak and now I have a silent boot.
Thanks!

Yes it sure does if you install the shut down portion mentioned in the OP, works like a charm. Thanks a lot for this!!!!

This worked great. Thanks!!

I love it thank you sir now no more AT&T
It's a trap!!

Works great on my Verizon Note 3. The stock bootanimation was bright enough to sear retinas and induce seizures. Thanks for sharing this

I haven't done too many boot animation hacks, can anyone add a little more detail for this instruction...."Make sure you correct the permission"?

Long press the .apk you just pasted and select PERMISSIONS and make sure you change permissions to match the original such as rw-r--r-- in this case. Make sure you do this for each .apk you paste so it matches permissions for the apk you are replacing.

wow it works awesome.. I just tried it on my bro's note 3.. thank u very much...

Wow thanks for the post, always thought this would be a little trickier. Don't know why people risk flashing "unknown" .zips to try and do this when all you gotta do is move a few files around but I digress. Thanks again for telling us the correct files, and for the ones you gave us it works perfect :thumbup:

As a quick side note, for anyone wanting to ditch boot sounds, the 'poweron.ogg' file can be renamed to 'nopoweron.ogg' or even removed to avoid boot sounds with any animation

TAKE A SECOND TO SAY ‘THANKS’

Animation is beautiful. Working on Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos GT-i9082. ? But there is no sound. Is it because I have copied bootaudio.mp3 & PowerOn.ogg to their respective folders. Will the sound effect work if I remove one file. Suggest me which one to remove!?

First of all check if you have extracted bootsound.mp3 from bootsound.zip (downloaded file).
For some samsung based roms, delete the poweron.ogg from audio folder and keep the bootaudio.mp3 in system/media/
Did you get the popup while copying the sound?

No didn't get any popup! I'm using Carbon 4.4.4 custom ROM.

You have to name the file exactly like this: PowerOn.ogg
Put it in /system/media/UI/
Make sure you set permissions.
