I put it in the title, and I'll put it here again because I KNOW someone will ask (or do worse)
THIS BOOT ANIMATION WILL ONLY WORK ON THE P6210 WITH KERNELS THAT SUPPORT BOOT ANIMATIONS. THAT CURRENTLY ONLY INCLUDES MY KERNEL FOR THE P6210 WITH A VERSION GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO 20120105.
I wonder how many people will ignore that and install it on the 20120102 version (which, honestly, will amuse me quite a bit as it'll have an interesting result.)
Credit where credit is due: The actual boot animation was modified from the animation provided in UnNamed 1.x for the AT&T SGSII by gtg465x. All I did was rotate all the images, tweak the dimensions of the control file, and stick it into a recovery installable update.zip file.
How to install:
Download it. Put it on your device. Boot into recovery and install .zip file from sdcard (or internal sdcard if you put it on the microSD.)
This is completely unsupported... it's only meant as a sample and proof of concept for the boot anims.
This post has a link to a youtube showing the boot anim: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21101682&postcount=8

Rock On dude! can someone post a teaser video! thanks garyd!!
dont know if this also removes boot up sound,
in case anyone cant figure it out it should be /system/etc/poweron.wav, you can play the .wav first to verify, if so rather than delete it just rename to backuppoweron.wav
cheers!
by the way i found a way how to change the bootanimation on my galaxy mini :
1. delete the 'bootanimation' located in /system/bin (better to backup)
2. then copy and rename 'samsungani' to 'bootanimation'
3. then delete (backup) the bootani.qmg located in /system/media
4. copy the bootanimation.zip file to /system/media
and, i tried this on my gtab 7+ p6200.
but on step 3, in /system/media there are bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg. i don't know which file to delete/replace.
is the bootsamsungloop.qmg ?
can someone help me?
how come that Gtab7+ doesn't support the bootanimation ? if we got samsung bootanimation means it can support any bootanim i guess. or whatcha you think ?

ive tried this method with renaming both of these files, bootanimation finishes and lockscreen/homescreen come up but bootanimation is frozen stuck covering the top 60% of screen.
I've got this already up and going on my tab with the stock ICS boot animation. Did it late last night. Didn't use this boot animation, modified my own from my galaxy s2.
I'll post a video today on how it looks. Much better than stock.
Thanks Gary.

Eh I wouldn't think so. Its only placing a file in /system/media. Not touching any other files.
As long as you have the kernel flashed you should be good to go.

Is there any way that the boot animation could be silent? The noise is disruptive in public settings if I get a random reboot, so I'm told, lol

Normally there is a power on audio file in /system/media/audio/ui but I can't see one.
Power off is in there though
EDIT found it!
/etc/1power_on.ogg
Delete that and bye bye boot up sound
Same here. its system/etc/1_poweron.ogg just renamed mine with root explorer.
This mod is only a "proof of concept" to demonstrate the changing of the boot animation using the kernel I posted in another thread. The boot sound is unrelated to the boot animation from the kernel point of view. Normally, the boot animation and/or sound would be changed by firmware developers.

Because Samsung insists on using their own wacky bootanimation binary and format.
So you need to either:
1) Replace the binary (manual effort, no "fallback" if no bootanim is present)
2) Add a script to the kernel initramfs that uses "standard" bootanim support if you have one present, and Samsung's as a fallback.

Thank ya thank ya and thanks again! That's been driving me nuts.
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.
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.

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.

Hey guys, today i tried to change my boot animation with ROM toolbox but it failed. Then i also tried by copying boot animation.zip in root/system/media but still it didn't change.
What should i do ?
put the bootanimation.zip into (root)/data/local/, save and reboot(with a root file explorer). if its still not working, then wont work with the n5. rom toolbox is an old app, and has old boot animations. its possible they wont work with the n5.

Worked by placing zip in data/local

you can make one
if you do find older boot animations, most will be tiny on the n5screen.n because the n5 has a much greater screen resolution than any older device. i havent seen any newer batman boot animations.

Old or not, there's no reason they shouldn't work. If they aren't made for this specific screen resolution, all you need to do is unzip the animation, batch resize all the images in the the folders, edit desc.txt and compress it back to a zip file again. Pretty simple, actually! :good:

NEW Added a couple Ani's 12-25-14
Greetings Sprint GN4 Users, a little candy.
First off, credit for creating these animations goes to HanneMaster (And Others). All I did was make changes to the Flashable ZIP'z so they would work for the Sprint Variant Note 4.
Some of these were not flashable so I put them in flashable Zip format.
The Files are below.
How to:
Place the zip either on your internal or external sdcard
Boot into recovery
Locate the file & flash it
Reboot your device and enjoy!
The first one is an Android L Boot Animation.
-------------------------------
Android L Boot Animation
preview:
-------------------------------
The second is very cool. It comes in this green preview and also Red.
Also on the list is a nice Shutdown Animation and the Stock Sprint Animations.
I will be updating the list as often as possible. Frequently I hope.
-------------------------------
Matrix bootanimation for note 4.
preview:
-------------------------------
For those who would like to do this manually through a file explorer do this:
** extract the Boot Animation file ("SPR_bootsamsung.qmg") from the ZIP (system/media). Place it on your EXT SDcard.
** Using your favorite root explorer, (I use es file explorer with root enabled) Go to system/media and find "SPR_bootsamsung.qmg". Select it, Rename it to something like "SPR_bootsamsung_ORIG.qmg".
-
** Copy the "SPR_bootsamsung.qmg" file that you placed on your EXT sdcard and paste it in the /system/media folder.
-
** Now you need to change the permissions. Select the "SPR_bootsamsung.qmg" file you pasted and from the More/properties menu (es file explorer) set the permissions to: rw-r-r.
-
** Repeat the same procedure for "SPR_bootsamsungloop.qmg" not forgetting to rename the original "SPR_bootsamsungloop.qmg" to something like "SPR_bootsamsungloop_ORIG.qmg"
-
** Re-boot...
REMEMBER... These are for the Sprint variant NOTE 4 but can be re-named to work with other variants. Look in your system/media folder to try and determine the correct naming for your variant.
The Stock Sprint Animations are also on the list of downloads...

With all props to hannemaster. Thanks dude!
Formatted for the Sprint GN4. Due to size restrictions, this boot animation is stored at Google drive.
Here:
Nature Themed HD Boot animation
And at the top of the list...
I flashed matrix red boot animation and crt shutdown and it didn't work. Flashed together, separate, wiped caches, didn't wipe caches, and it never worked and until I flashed the stock ones back the phone would reboot after the screen would turn off. I'll try the manual way and see if that works.
Edit: manual way didn't work either. I'll try green matrix now.
Edit: flashed green, didn't work. Am I missing something? I'm I devdigitel 2.0 with twisted's kernel. Should those really effect this?
Green Matrix worked for me. Very nice BTW. But Nature HD seems to flash but effects nothing.
Epic Blue Splash. Loving it.
Not working for me...tried flashing a few of them. It just boots stock

Edit: flashed green, didn't work. Am I missing something? I'm I devdigitel 2.0 with twisted's kernel. Should those really effect this?

Custom rom with custom boot screens? Go into system /media and see what the boot animations are named. Let me know.

Well, what the flashable zip does is overwrite the existing bootanimation files (2). If your stock rooted the files will be named: SPR_bootsamsung. qmg and SPR_bootsamsungloop.qmg. Confirm they are there and permissions are set to rw - r - r. Make sure you can write to the device internally and get back to me. Sounds like it could be a write problem. Although the flash should have handled it.

They are named the same, I know cause I did exactly what the manual instructions said.

Which root Explorer are you using. You renamed existing boot files then you copied over the new files and then changed the permissions then hit refresh to make sure it stuck.

So got mine to work. I removed the original two files and extracted the boot I needed files. Then placed them under system/media. When I deleted SPR and changed the permission to rw--r--r. It finally worked.
