[How-to] Remove Bootanimation (2.3.4)

I try to set a custom boot logo but i9003 is using .qmg files.
i only found ONE .qmg download , didnt like that one....
if you want it : multiupload.com/CCPCDXZIKE (astronauta animation)
now i removed the bootanimation and its better then the samsung bootlogo ;D
just go to system/media and rename or delete bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg

no way for kph?

For XXKPH and XXKPM, you can also flash CF-ROOT and just apply the boot animation of your choice by renaming it to "sanim.zip" and putting it into the "/system/media" folder, replacing the one already there.
Sent from my GT-I9003 using XDA App

i try it but it only works with the .qmg files...

Problem with deleting
Why when i try to delete bootsamsung.qmg bootsamsungloop.qmg and shutdown.qmg it says deleted but it is still there?

Original Samsung boot animation

Where can I get the original Samsung boot animation?

Inside any stock rom and probably inside any custom rom as devs dont usually remove the files .
Location System / Media
Bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg
Note they are Boot Animation Samsung QMG format . A QMG editor is required to open .

You're very welcome bro, thanks a lot to your awesome rom.

Do you extract the zip and then put in system media or the whole zip? All i get is a black screen and then the lock screen.

Bootanimation mod?

Hello There.
Found a Bootanimation thread on the S6 forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/themes-apps/mod-enable-zip-bootanimation-aroma-boot-t3205320
I was wondering if its possible to use that same zip to get rid of the qmg file extension and be able to just start making and using standard android zip boot animation files.
Any dev interested on looking at the "source" to see how it´s made? What to "mod" in our S7? Something to flash, or just a line to change on the config files.

According to my knowledge and experience, you need to change bootanimation file in system/bin

You are close... here is the thing:
You can have custom boot animations on your galaxy, just with root access and changing the right bootanimation files that are inside system/media.
The thing is that those files, if we are on Samsung devices, have the extension qmg (bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg and shutdown.qmg).
All the other android phones have a file called bootanimation.zip
The difference lies in the type of file. In order to make a qmg file you need to do a lot of tricks with an outdated samsung application, that converts jpgs into compressed qmg files.
On the other hand, if you want to make a standard android boot animation zip, you can just use the images and zip´em (there´s a little more than that) or you can use any gif to convert it to a bootanimation.zip file with online free conversion tools.
You can even use youtube videos to convert them into hight quality gif and then use a gif to bootanimation converter to get your file.
That´s the deal.
Now, the trick is how to make samsung to "read" the original bootanimation.zip files instead of the propietary qmg file.

No, you still dont understand.
To make samsung read bootanimation zip, you need to change bootanimation in system/bin
Bootanimation file in system/bin is diffrent with the system/media

Ah... Now I see what you mean.
The system/bin/bootanimation file has some lines (some unreadable but some that you can actually read) if you open it like a text file, that have some references to the boot animation file.
There are a few interesting lines:
/system/media/bootsamsung.qmg /system/media/bootvideomain.mp4
So guess what you pointed out!
You can use any mp4 video as a boot animation video... just copy the mp4 video to your system/media, and name it "bootvideomain.mp4". Then rename bootsamsung.qmg to something like bootsamsung.qmg.old.
Be sure that the permissions on the mp4 are "rw - r - r."
I have just tested it with really ugly results, but it worked (video should be made on portrait. I placed a "landcape video from whatsapp, so it was compressed to 8mb and unfortunatelly, sideways".
Gonna mess around more to see...
So at the momment, I haven´t changed any file. Just playing with the bootsamsung.qmg and placing a bootvideomain.mp4 on the system/media folder.
It seems it takes a little longer to boot, and the video only plays for about 5 seconds...
Using the same system/bin/bootanimation file.
I´m not a programmer, but it seems like there´s a list of what kind of animation should the
