http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=744893
unzip it in pc remove bootanimation.zip from it and copy to your SD card
1. Using any root explorer app, rename (or delete, just make sure you have a backup) the 'samsungani' file to located in /system/bin
2. Rename the file 'bootanimation' (also located in /system/bin) to 'samsungani'
3. Now put the bootanimation.zip of your choice in /system/media folder
In some cases the samsungani will not be available so replace with samsungloop
thanks, =) i replace with samsungloop.
by the way do you know how to flash a kernel in this phone? i tried with the boot.img but did not work.

Cant delete PDF's from "Supercharger Starter Kit" From Older Skyhigh rom installs.
Have been flashing so many custom Roms for ages like most of you..
And back to stock JB just now.
Noticed i have a directory storage/sdcard0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/SuperCharger_Starter_Kit.
The 0/0/0/0/0/0/0 thing is from flashing many danielHKs 4.2 roms and should delete no worries as now not used in 4.1.2.
The problem i have is cant delete the supercharger kit folder with 2 PDFs inside so the 0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0 also cant be deleted.
This Folder came from the 4.04 Skyhigh Rom Install I Flashed ages ago and noticed every thing I try'd it wont delete.
Anybody have any idea what program or app to use to delete these files with?.Ive tried ES File Explorer but doesnt delete and also on Stock JB Rom just at moment and stock File Explorer wont delete the folder either.
I tried out 2 different Skyhigh Roms and have another folder also with the same Supercharger_Starter_Kit folder that cant delete in another directory aswell.it has the same PDF files.
Just want some help to delete this and clean up the Tab of uneeded files and want it to look properly stock again.
FOUR easy options I can quickly think of;
1. a) Copy important files from internal sdcard to PC
b) Boot into recovery
c) Depending on which recovery you use, format your internal sdcard
d) Copy files back from PC
2. Boot into TWRP recovery File Manager and delete the folder
3. There is an Aroma File Manager you can flash in CWM recovery also, search for it
4. EASY WAY -
a) use a root type file explorer app and navigate to data/media/.../SuperCharger
b) remove all permissions
c) delete folder

You can use any root file manager...........i'm using root explorer.
Steps for backing up modules......
1. in root explorer go to system/lib/ directory.
2. there u will see the folder which is namely as a modules.
3. just copy this module folder to your desired location. (i suggest to ext. card)
4. n place these modules at any safe place for future use.......like in pc.
Steps for restoring modules........
1. place modules to the ext. card or download from the attachment.
2. now open root explorer, n copy modules folder.
3. then browse to system/lib folder.
4. n paste the modules folder here....... (it will ask to replace select yes)
5. then set permission - rwxr-xr-x of folder.
6. reboot! done.

It didn't work for me, and I tried to flash others stock roms
The AOSP Broser APK is here.
installaion Guide:
Use any file manager(viz. ES File manager etc.) application navigate to "system>priv-app"
Now search for the default browser apk and odex file here. For example in LG G2 it is LGBrowser.apk and LGBrowser.odex.
Cut these file from here and paste to some other location. This is the backup of default broswser in case you would like to revert the changes.
Restart the device.
Now you have two ways to install the AOSP Browser First:
General method:
Click on the "apk" and install like evry other app.
If unable to install; check and see if you have checked on unknown resources(under Settings>Security)
System app method:
copy and paste the "Browser.apk" apk inside "system>priv-app"
set permissions as following: Owner- R,W,E; Group- R; Others- R
and you are GOOD TO GO!!
HAVE FUN!!
Didn't work on Sony Xperia Z1C either method. Thanks anyway. Am rooted and unlocked.
I got it working but set permissions to r-r-r
