Great to see so much activities in the forum. When I moved from EVO 4G to E4GT I was little worried that the E4GT would not have as much developers attention as EVO line.
Anywho.. I was thinking of getting rid of that ugly yellow sprint 4G animation on the shutdown process but no threads about that yet. I took chance by adding startup animation zip file in the system/media/video/shutdown folder but it doesn't work. I tried changing the .qmg file name to something different and that eliminated the animation and replaced with a 'phone is shutting down' pop up window.
Does anyone know if there is any way to get custom animation for shutdown?
i know you have to have a kernal that supports custom bootanime's so maybe same for shutdowns, and i can link up the thread on what kernal that i know for sure lets you have bootanimes

I already have the kernel in your link above and I've changed the startup boot animation. However, shut down animation doesn't work by adding a zipped animation file in the shut down directory. I'll wait and see if any developer come up with the kernel that support the shut down animation change.
BTW, I thanked you for your kind reply with the link

Once this is possible, I'm setting my shutdown animation to a BSOD.
Here's the Galaxy S2's stock shutdown animation (linked in the following post). It's a .qmg so it should work fine if you replace the stock one.

Thanks!!! That .qmg file works!!!! It's not the best graphic available but much better than the yellow sprint 4G splash.

No prob, IMHO it'll work for now until the roms start including custom shutdown animations. It's much easier on the eyes with the black backgroud vs. the blinding white stock one.

This is already known. I believe the OP was looking for custom shutdown animations.
So its as easy and getting the animation. Converted to a qmp format and renaming it in the corrmect place it seems then? Should be easy if that's all there is to it right? I think even my challanged mind could figure and make one

I manage to extract the sounds off of the international SGSIII ROM. I noticed samsung only place a poweron sound so I made a poweroff sound to match with it. simply extract the files into /system/media/audio/ui.
I hope you guys like the poweroff sound .

You cannot edit .qmg files, only samsung has the program to do that.
You can however delete those files, so you dont have to listen to the sounds.
You can also replace the qmg files with other .qmg files from different devices. such as the international boot animation, instead of the sprint one.
once a kernel is developed, that has init d support, and custom boot animation support, we can add any boot animation.zip or boot animation.sanim to the system/media files, and system/media/video/shutdown for the shutdown animation, which is shutdown.zip typically.
this is the same with any samsung device.
Thanks! Boot and Shutdown animations works flawlessly on AT&T SGH-i747 Galaxy S3.

Unfortunately no. But if u delete the custom boot animation (boot animation.zip) then the stock will play. The international is considered stock. Anything ending .qmg is "stock".

I might just skip this one after all. But to answer your question, there is no other bootanimation.zip in /system/media... only a bunch of .qmg files. When searching for "bootanimation" on the phone, the only thing that comes back is a non-zip file in /system/bin.
By "set permissions" I meant that I just made it rw-r--r-- like everything else in /system/media.
Doesn't everyone on stock ROM have 3 different transitions on boot - Galaxy S III logo, Samsung animation, then AT&T animation?

Fancy seeing you on these forums....
How you liken the s3 ?
Firstly , these are for Jelly Bean . Any one who's kept up with my work here on xda knows that I'm a huge fan of boot animations. So when I heard that Jelly Bean couldn't have boot animations, I said.. wanna make a bet? As the old proverbial saying goes.. If you can't beat em.. join em. Samsung threw down their douche card and started using a corporate format to compile boot animations called QMG format. After researching it on the web for some time I found that the software to compress these bootanimations is highly expensive and guarded. So for now until I can find a copy of Qmage ( the program used to compile these boot animations) We are gonna have to stick with some "stock" bootanimations.. But... That doesn't mean that there aren't some MUCH better boot animations out there for some other phones . Like the droid series for example have a lot of really cool boot animations. I'm uploading a few .qmg boot animations here. Obviously I didn't make these, they come from corporate, but they are hella better than the stock E4GT "4g" boot animation and crappy bell tones. I've repacked them in a flashable zip that works on our JELLY BEAN leaks. If anyone has a stock .qmg boot animation from another phone (other than the e4gt) please either pm me or post a link to them here. I would like to get as big of a collection as possible.. I'm only gonna post a few that we havn't seen on this device yet.
Directions​
If you're on a STOCK JB kernel... Mobile Odin Agat's FK23 repack and flash the boot animation
If youre on Agats Kernel just boot into recovery and flash .. NO NEED to wipe ANYTHING for a boot animation.
If the boot sound doesn't work or stays the same as the stock e4gt boot sound... pull the PowerOn.ogg from the zip.. and push it with a file explorer to /system/media/ui. Reset the permissions to everything else in that folder Reboot and Enjoy!!
1. Droid_Charge_Boot_Animation
2.Samsung_Vibrant_Boot_Animation.. (same as international S3)
3.Samsung_Galaxy_S_Georgio_Armani
I have a few more.. but they are basically the same or just plain lame. Lemme know how you like these

I'm sure that you can. . But I write the updater script and file path to work with this device. If you know where the bootsamsung.qmg is on your phone then unzip the file and push the files with a file explorer to the correct directory for you phone. Make sure u set the permissions correctly and it should work.

Make sure to have a file explorer installed to do these instructions, such as Root Explorer or (What I use) Root Browser Lite.
Steps :
1. Download the ZIP
2. rename it to "bootanimation.zip" or "shutdownanimation.zip"
3. push it into your /system/media
4. set permission -rw-r-r- a.k.a 644
5. reboot
6. PRESS THE THANKS BUTTON
7. ????
8. PROFIT!!!!!
Make sure you delete the old ones, "bootanimation.zip", "bootanimation_sprint.zip" and bootanimation_boost.zip or shutdownanimation.zip and shutdownanimation_sprint.zip"
Please let me know if these do not work or the link ever gets broken or anything like that.
I do not take credit for making any of these, I have found them throughout the internet and edited them to work with this phone, such as resizing the image. If any of them are yours then please let me know!
Mega, you seem to always be the first person to "thanks" my OP when I post anything. Haha.
Also, Almost done uploading. Decided to get an account at Android File Host, was just waiting to get approved for Dev. I am trying to take the stock Jelly Bean bootanimation and reverse it for a shutdown animation.

No, has to be done by the directions.
Updated OP and added 4 more bootanimations.
Theoretically couldn't you do this for any file that's supposed to be a bootanimation?
For instance, I have a GS3 as well so I frequent those forums and have a couple bootanimations for that phone. I could just install them on the OG the same way you explained in your OP. Do you think there would be any problems that would cause a brick/bootloop issue because of the different dimensions of the screens?
Changing the Sound - Awkward Sounds
Heya,
This worked perfectly the above method by Epic. However now when I boot up I get the awesome nexus boot logo but still the same awkward sprint boot sound. With a look digging I discovered that the boot up or as in the phone "PoweOn_Sprint.ogg" and the bootoff "PowerOff_Sprint.ogg" all located in the same media folder "/system/media/audio/ui/" So now the question is lets start picking boot sounds (on/off) maybe the nexus 4 will be a good start.
Thank you in advance,
TheAceX
What I would do is just search up android boot animations and so far anyone I likes has work. As for the sounds, you can make the boot sound literally any song or clip you want, my power on is the ps1 boot sound which is awesome. You just have to convert the sound into .ogg with an audio converter program, rename it PowerOff_Sprint or PowerOn_Sprint respectively and make sure its capitalized exactly that way, then put it in the Ui directory.
I was gonna post a how to but no one showed interest lol

You could always try using something like THIS to convert any audio files.
I haven't tried this service so I can't vouch for it, but I've used ones like it before.
Then you install it just like the bootanimations (naming them appropriately and putting them in the proper folder).

You shouldn't (it is really unlikely) have any issues.
They may look a little stretched or won't fill the screen.
If the animation is somehow broken, Android doesn't need it to boot.
