where is the boot animation path? yes im rooted and running a custom kernel and have a custom rom. the reason i asked is when i tried to flash it, it didnt work.
Check out the boot animation thread under apps and themes for the e4gt. I'd link you but I'm on tapatalk.
It gives you clear instructions on installing boot anis via two methods. Flashing and direct replacing of the stock rom.

Hey all, does anyone have the stock boot animation? I only want it because the KT747 kernel changes the boot anim on the Sammy ROM. ):

you could just grab it yourself from one of the stock roms around here. just open the zip, navigate to system/media and grab the bootanimation.zip. then you can just drop it on your device and put it back in the same place and set the permissions to rw-r-r.
Hi,I was wondering if I can change the boot animation in 4.2.1
I'm using PA 2.99.8,it came with the "X" stock boot animation so I wonder if there will be a problem if the animation is changed.
Thanks

you can only try it out after backing up
some roms allow you to change the logo
so just try it and see what will happen
No offence but your comment was,well,kind of useless.
Anyhow, I'm going to take your advice and give it a try.

are the boot animations still in the /system/media folder? I keep on putting my bootanimation.zip file there (with the correct permissions) but the boot doesn't stick.

/data/local directory is searched first for a bootanimation.zip file . If it is not there, /system/media is searched
I am using Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9300 JB 4.1.2 stock ROM but rooted. I wanted to change my boot animation and tried copying "bootanimation,zip" to "system/media" but does not work, not a single one of them. I think the problem is, my phone is using a .qmg file as boot animation named "bootsamsung.qmg" and "bootsamsungloop.qmg", that is why "bootanimation.zip" is not working. I thought of deleting both file and try but I am afraid that my phone would not start at all. So please can any expert here help me out with the boot animation problem. I am a newbie and really wanted to change it. Thank you in advance...
There is a patch for that from anbech...

Once patched you can use the zip format.

DELETING THE FILES WILL ONLY DELETE THE CURRENT BOOTANIMATION. try extracting the zip file and then moving the two files to system / media.make sure to mount system rw, then change permissions to rw-r--r-- change ownership to 0-root then execute the script for each of the new qmg files .reboot. good luck.

You need to read the boot animation zip instructions its simple if you do but difficult otherwise . Essence is boot animation.zip requires slight system file modification on many roms . jje
Excellent piece of help...

I'm having trouble getting this working on a Samsung Galaxy Light (SGH-T399N). Running KitKat 4.4.2. My screen resolution is 480x800 so that's what i'm resizing the animations to but I can't get previews to work in the Boot Animations app and when I boot, it just has a black screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Successful.

I tried to install a boot animation, it was good.
When I went to preview current onthe top right, the screen went black.
Nothing has happens.
I have file location at system/media
It seems to write the file bootanimation.zip.
I reboot and i get the samsung note 4 boot, tmobile use to boot, but not anymore.
I usually dont press shutdown and restart my phone but it would be nice to have my own
Custom boot animation.
Iam running kitkat v4 my rom is fitekatneodexv5
Could it be my rom?!,

At first i though, the bootanimation wasnot writing to sys/media
I think it's writing, I deleted and moved the file. And it wrote to location?
Anything I could do to fix this?

doesn´t work on i9305
hi i´m using an s3lte i9305 with rXTREME-KK 2.1. I want to us a custom boot animation but when i flash the Bootanimation4U.Samsungani.Only.zip (i have bootanimation in bin) it still shows the stock animation(i set the permissions like they are suposed to be).
Not work
Does not work with Samsung galaxy SM-T230. Black screen. Flash with TWRP.
I tried also on a SG Note Edge all kind of methods but it was not working.
I think that for 4.4. we need to put the bootanimation path (/system/media) into the /system/bin/bootanimation file. This is what I understood so far and for each device there is a specific bootanimation file.
Best regards.
Custom Boot Animations. I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy Stellar running 4.0.2 Ice Cream Sandwich (I had to Odin back to a stock ROM last week lol). I have the bootanimation.zip in System/bin so I downloaded and flashed the Bootanimation4U.Samsungani.Only. It did it's job I guess because after reboot the boot animation was one I chose from ROM Toolbox, however it got stuck in a boot loop. at this point I could turn my screen on and off but that was all so I had to pull the battery, then retry boot recovery multiple times (including resetting from odin mode) before getting back into TWRP. I tryed wiping dalvik cash and cash because I was dumb and didn't when I flashed, and it still boot looped (this time couldn't turn off screen)so I went ahead and recovered with TWRP.
I'm so close I want custom boot animation so bad but I think I should get a little helpful advice before I go on lol.
-I haven't tried flashing the Gears-Bootanim.zip after the samsungani.zip, should I try that? Would it be safer to disable/remove the custom boot animas from ROM Toolbox?
*After recovering with TWRP I went through my files to verify these, this is before adding any files*
-have bootanimation.zip, and also the samsungani in System/bin
-have bootanimation.zip, bootsamsung.qmg, and bootsamsungloop.qmg in system/media
I pretty sure that I put the original boot animation in system/media or backed up to before I even messed with any of those files so I assume the custome boot that came from ROM Toolbox was enabled through the program or something. But hey at least we know the zip allowed the custom boot animation lol. What should I do guys?
Flashing problem
Every time I try to flash things like this (fixes, bootanims, excluding SU apps, those are ok), an error comes up, be it ClockWorkMod recovery, or stock recovery that does the flashing. My phone is Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5839i
I also have that problem after flesh bootanimation4u.zip .....how I get back to bootanimation.qmg
