Can someone help me out?
I am trying to change the shutdown animation.
I have done the following things but white out result.
1 I put custom .png in system/media/ideo/shutdown whiteout the shutdown.qmg.
When i shutdown i get a notification shuttingdown and a spinning circle.
2 i used custom.png and changed the shutdown.qmg
I put in shutdown.qmg 0123456789, 1234567890, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0, 1234567891011121314.
3 I deleted all the .png in system/media/video/shutdown and only the default shutdown.qmg is in the file.
When i shutdown i get the default samsung big S shutdown animation.
When i am shutting down the phone i get a black shutdown screen.
4 i use a sgs2 shutdown.qmg when i shutdown the phone i got the shutdown animation from sgs2
So what am I doing wrong and can someone please help me out with this ?
I have rooted my phone and using a rom from the romkitchen
I'm trying to change qmg file too but I assume the only way to have a go at it is purchasin' Qmage from Quram site.
Unluckily,gingerbread supports only qmg file as shutdown file.
i found this from samsung it makes .qmg theme but not animated qmg

So you can change android 2.2.1 bootdown animation?

So I've been making attempts at replacing my shutdown animation (on Evil's Sense G2-Z ROM), but have been having troubles.
I've created a shutdown animation at the same resolution as the original, and put that into a downanimation.zip with folder "android" and desc.txt, which sets the parameters for the shutdown animation (the downanimation.zip goes into /system/customize/resource). The desc.txt is the exact same as that in the original downanimation.zip. As far as I can tell, the only differences between my downanimation.zip and the original is file size (their images are very plain, whereas mine are a bit more detailed) and the timestamp.
Now here's where it gets really quite weird. If I edit one image and replace it from the original shutdown animation, it stops working. Which made me think that there's something messed up with how I'm zipping my files. BUT if I change the name of my downanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip (in the same folder as downanimation.zip), and reboot my phone, my shutdown animation works just fine as the startup animation.
So. Anyone have any ideas how to change the shutdown animation, or on what I'm doing wrong?
What are you using to zip the files?

Yemuzip on OS X.
have you found a solution yet?
ive done the same thing, encountered a weird problem tho.
it only accepts a zip which is set to store not compressed for boot but shutdown none works.. i wonder if it is the file size that is the issue or something else.
if i changed the shutdown/downanimation i cannot boot into bootloader "pwr+vol down" on desire HD. have to boot to clockwork and adb shell rm /system/customize/resources/shutdown.zip/downanimation.zip and then it can boot into bootloader again but shutdown/restart screen would be blank.. weird.

Yes all guides I've seen say that the bootanimation.zip on the Desire HD (/data/local/) needs to be zipped without compression (using "store" method of compression). I would assume it's safe to do the same thing for the shutdown animation. Thanks for the folder where the shutdown animations are stored on the Desire HD. I was having a little trouble finding it as it's different from other android phones. Just a spelling error though, it's /system/customize/resource/ not "resources"
SOLVED here. Tq.
this is a boot animation that i converted from the intro of matrix 1 movie. I do not own this animation the owners are the owners of the matrix movie.
i simply converted it to animation and formatted it for 1280 x 720 screens
it starts with matrix code then says "the matrix" and after that you get the green cursor blinking.
this took hours to do so thank me if you are thankful.
to make this your shutdown animation, name the zip "shutdownanimation.zip" (no caps) and drop and replace any existing file in /system/media/
if you want to save your old animation just rename it before you drop the file there. ( youll need to use a program like ES file explorder with root access and mount system directory in order for this to work ) then unmount after, and reboot.
same goes for bootanimation the file name is bootanimation.zip sometimes this goes in /system/media/ but more likely then not the boot animation goes in /data/local/ if you want to be safe just copy it to both locations. again ES file explorer is capable of accessing your data folder.
(root required)
any damage done to your phone is your own fault, only use this file if your phone has a screen resolution of 1280x720
if you have another resolution phone you can open the desc.txt file in notepad++ and change the resolution and it should work, just make sure you use the right resolution and you change the smaller number with the smaller number and larger with larger or else your image will be distorted.
note: this method can change most animation resolutions as long as the dimensions are somewhat similar. android will scale the files, if not you'll see distorted images or nothing.
SIDE NOTE: i recommend testing all animations with shutdownanimation.zip FIRST. this way if there is an issue you can pull your battery and boot into your phone and fix it, if you create a problem with bootanimation it could be a little harder to fix, although most of the time a faulty animation will be skipped by the system rather than causing boot loops (most of the time, i have heard of problems thats why i recomend trying any animation not verified working with your phone as a shutdownanimation first)
note on some custom roms like Cyanogenmod you don't want to use a shutdownanimation. because it's shutdown process is like 2 seconds, stock roms do alot of reflashing during shutdown (or something to that nature) and its more like an 8 second shutdown, in this case you'll see "phone shutting down" dialogue for 4-5 seconds" if you are getting that i would recommend using an animation as its much more pleasant to look at.
by the way this animation would look GREAT on a tablet, anything that's 1280x720 should be able to use the file straight up and any other resolution tablet just change the desc.txt file like i described above

another note is that if you unpack the zip at any time and have to repack it, use winrar and make sure you use compression method: STORE and not normal compression (this will cause black screen because the program expects a uncompressed zip file)
here is a matrix code animation that is portrait style instead of landscape with no "the matrix" words just the matrix code. i didn't make this one i just formatted it for 1280x720, i got it off the app "bootanimations root" and reformatted it.
if anyone is having trouble resizing an animation they like, post the animations .zip file here that you download for any other android phone or tablets animation that you want to use with your phone, give me the dimensions of your phone (this can be found by good your phones name and "specs" for instance for this phone lg p930 specs, youll get lists of specs for the phone, and it'll tell you this phone is 1280x720. so give me the zip from the animation you want to use and your phones resolution and i'll make the changes and repack the file for you. (if you dont use the right zip app and text editor it won't work)
Unable to flash it. Says invalid zip

you can make it yourself with ROM toolbox.
in the boot animation section, there is an option for gif to boot. so you can save those gif and convert it to boot animation
TMK, the link is already ready to be a boot animation. It just needs to be renamed bootanimation.zip and pushed to system/media
As for the "proper" screen size for the N7 ... IDK, that'd be my only question
**edit: it is already named properly, so just push it to system/media ... and reboot, viola.

:fingers-crossed: Please add (for noobs like me) boot sound will work if renamed to bootaudio.mp3
anyways I figured it out and thanks a lot coz i was unable to workout that fps part and my phone booted up before completing the animation.
Thanks a lot again(already hitted thanks ). :fingers-crossed:
I am currently running S3Rx rom and tried to change the boot animation while following this tutorial. However, when I went to File Manager and selected my qmg files and attempted to move them to their respective folders, I was greeted with the following message: "The operation's command was not found or has an invalid definition."
How do I fix this? Thanks in advance!
SOLVED: Had to install Root Explorer.
On another note: how do I remove the Samsung boot logo and the Galaxy SIII branding that follows it? I've already replaced bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.gmg in system/media

It has to be done in the kernel if I'm not mistaken.. I'm not sure if I've seen a tutorial for this but there may be
I added my shutdownanimation.zip to /system/media alongside my new bootanimation.zip.
The boot animation works great but I still don't have any shutdown animation.
I verified permissions.
Tried using the bootanimation by renaming it to shutdownanimation but still nothing on shutdown.
Can anyone help?
