Any one figure it out yet? i have one from CM6 on my hero id love to port over but pushing bootanimation.zip to data/local or system/media does nothing. after looking at the files they seem to be in a different format then im used to
From what I've read, Samsung has theirs in a proprietary format. Until ROMS are created that allow for the standard bootanimation.zip the only thing that we can replace the boot animation with are other Samsung bootup animations.

alright thanks for the info
I found some shutdown .png files in /system/media/video/shutdown that seem to make up the shutdown animation...

So I found a boot animation I like. I used root explorer to replace the bootanimation.zip in the /system/media folder but it does nothing. The cyanogen boot animation still comes up. Is there something Im missing? Thanks.

That should be the location it needs to be in.
I always used THIS when I first got my EVO. Requires ADB

I appreciate it. Too lazy right now to use adb. LOL. Its not that important, was just curious why it didnt work by replacing it. I guess Im just wondering where it is still getting the stock boot animation considering I deleted it. Lol.
I'm using CM 6.1.2 and replacing the bootanimation.zip works for me. I always use the Froyo boot one I found.

Actually, CM places the boot animation in the system/media folder. I routinely change it to my own with ES File Explorer, which has a "root option" under settings. Simply delete the unwanted zip and copy/paste the new one from your sd card ... reboot ... done.
anyone know where is the bootanimation.zip located? it's not at system/media... and when i put bootanimation.zip there, nothing happen..

you will find a bootsamsung.qmg in known location...

As i understand it the kernel needs to support boot animation as a zip files otherwise it defaults to the standard QMG boot animation .
QMG files can be opened if you are willing to pay for QMAGE software from quaramsoft .

Not sure if this is in the right forum, but I just heard about ROM Toolbox and wanted to try it on my GNex. I installed a new boot animation, but when I rebooted my phone, it doesn't show the installed animation. All it shows is the android text with a light flashing behind it. Any help with this? Was going to buy the paid version once my Nexus 7 arrives, but I guess I'm not sure how to properly set the boot animation.
ROM Toolbox Pro gerfungled my boot animations on both of my phones, Galaxy Nexus and an LG myTouch Q. Just erases the old one and doesn't install a replacement. Also be careful using the font installer, since it's set to overwrite your three main system fonts by default when you install a font. Also, most boot animation changer programs don't work on Samsung phones.
If you like a boot animation that Rom Toolbox shows you, just let it download. Then copy it from /sdcard/romtoolbox/boot_animations to /data/local and rename it "bootanimation.zip". Should work on next boot. Your original gnex boot animation is also in there, named backup(something).zip. You can also extract /system/media/bootanimation.zip from any zipped gnex rom file and do the same.

Worked perfectly that way! I downloaded it and moved it to /system/media, renamed the default boot to "bootanimation.bak". Fixed permissions and rebooted.
As for fonts, I'm not getting into that. I love having access to three apps in one!

I have tried replacing my bootanimation.zip file with other ones DL'd from the internet with no success. Is there a file size limit?

Have you changed the permissions accordingly? It won't work if the zip doesn't have the right permissions (rw-r-r).

I was just wondering if changing the boot-up screen is the same(or similar) for the SG3 as this guide that I dug up(its from a completely different phone but I get the general idea). and if not, where do the custom animations and sound files go?
To install, follow these steps:
remove bootanimation.zip and SPC_animation_final from /system/customize/resource
remove bootanimation.zip and android_audio.mp3 from /system/media
adb push your downloaded bootanimation.zip and android_audio.mp3 to /system/media

Would I have to delete any files? there is no "android_audio.mp3" i am assuming the boot anim is "bootsamsumg.qmg" or "bootsamsungloop.qmg" with the sound file being in system/media/audio/ui "poweroff.wav" and "poweronn.ogg"
can anyone confirm?
I just recently tried to just place the "bootanimation.zip" through a root explorer into the corresponding directory. I restarted but it doesn't seem to be using the bootanimation zip which leads me believe that it is more complicated than previously stated.
If you copy them to /data/local they survive between roms as long as you don't wipe data.

Did you remember to set/change permissions on the Bootanimation.zip file after moving it?

You have to be using a ROM/kernal that supports bootanimation.zip. Most stock ones are still using the .qmg files, and if you are making your own bootanimation.zip make sure when you zip it you are not compressing it. It needs to be "store only" or it won't work.

Good info here. Thanks
I am trying to change the bootanimation as well, and so far nothing I've tried works. I have a boot animation that worked with my sensation and is originally from the nexus, I placed it in both the data/local and the system/media folders and both are set to rw/r/r.
I noticed my system/media file also has 2 samsung .qmg(?) files in it, should these be deleted or renamed?
I'm currently using xquisitV70 with whatever kernel it includes, do I need to flash a custom kernel for this to work?
If so, any favorites for the s3?
Your Kernal has to support it.
I use ROM Toolbox to do it. It works perfectly and it's very easy to use.

Has zip to enable the use of bootanimation.zip file, i have only tested it on frosty v5...hope it works for you.
Thanks, the kernel was my issue apparently. I installed trinity kernel and now my boot animation is working perfectly.
Im having some problems changing the sprint boot animation on my e4gt. Using ROM Toolbox, and attempting manually... I have copied the new bootanimation.zip files to the /system/media directory, verified the file is correct and all permissions set but no matter what I try, I cant seem to replace that same sprint splash screen. Where is the default splash screen located? I have a feeling Im looking in the wrong place.
I have also tried the /data/local directory too with no luck. The .gif looks like its 320x480 10FPS.
Im currently searching through all directories for any other files named bootanimation.zip but if anyone has any suggestions it would be appreciated.
UPDATE: Found it from Venum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1818542&page=3
"Here's your fix. If you are using a stock rom but a kernel that supports boot animation (and you are rooted), using rootexplorer or a similiar app go into system/bin. Find samsungani and rename it to samsungani.bak. Now find bootanimation in system/bin and rename bootanimation to samsungani. Thats it. Now all bootanimations correctly placed in the system/media file and named bootanimation will work upon boot... "
Don't feel bad just learned how to change my boot animations too. Mine is android beating Apple with bat and pissing on it.
