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.

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.

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.
This is the boot animation with audio and shutdown with audio from the original samsung galaxy s II. in my opinion they are much cleaner, and classier than some of the others... I like a simple clean look.
Here is the boot animation. I have tested and it works for stock roms, custom roms version was tested and works. SSConceptz zipped it for flashing. Thank Him!

I am running Midnight ROM 2.2, with Kernal that came with it...
What Rom are you on? - I guess I should have been more clear... If you are stock rooted, this may not work, depending on what kernal you are running. the Kernal needs to support boot animation. Unfortunately I dont have the original Galaxy S II qmg files. I am sure they are out there, but the only way to test them is to install the bootsamsung.qmg from a GSII in the same location, and overwrite the existing. do you have cwm on your phone? can you make a backup first? I highly recomend you do that!~
As far as power on, just replace the poweron.ogg file, or you can convert the wav file i included to an ogg file with a converter, I dont think that will matter. the sound should work either way.
as far as the shutdown animation and sound...
I am updating the OP Now~ sorry for the confussion...

Okay, thanks for some clarification. I am on Stock Pulled kernel with CWM5. I was able to get it working with a minor change to your steps.
Here is what I did to get it to work:
1) Download Original SGSII without boot animation support.zip file in OP
2) Unzip contents to location on phone (internal or external is fine)
3) Nandroid backup in CWM5 just in case
4) Using Root Explorer, copy bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg to system/media. Fix permissions to be like other files.
5) Copy PowerOn.wav to system/etc. Fix permissions
6) Copy shutdown.qmg to system/media/video/shutdown. Fix permissions
7) Copy PowerOff.wav to system/media/audio/ui (this is different than stated in OP) Fix permissions
8) Reboot and should be good to go.
Also, just a note, the PowerOn.wav file is exactly the same as the one that already exists on the stock rom. It is already the Samsung sound so no need to really copy that file if you are on stock.
Thanks for helping us get rid of the ugly Sprint boot animation!!
Awesome... Glad you got it working!
I wish I knew how to compile a flashable zip for CWM. It would be easier for others if they could just flash the corresponding zip for the ROM they were on...

Have a nandroid backup just in case something goes wrong, Ive softbricked before many times actually just for trying to change a bootanimation. It can happen.
If you already have been using data/local for install location and its working for you great. I just noticed that i used my steps below but left out changing installation directory, so ive been installing to my data/local and my changes have been taking effect. After installing bootanimations i noticed my location was data/local then i went to change it to system/media and install a animation and nothing changes. So i am using data/local now as my target, im guessing if i were just to delete the boot zip from data/local my system/media bootzip will play only because i have a bootanimation.zip already installed to that directory as well, im not going to try it yet but maybe on a rainy day with downtime on my hands ill try it. But after all said the locations of install are working just fine, in the OP instructions are just one way of setting a valid default installation. Im guessing which ever location you started using first is the location you should continue to use.

INSTRUCTIONS BELOW
NOTE:"Before using romtoolbox"Open romtoolbox go to bootanimations, press your menu softkey, press install location, change common locatioms value to /system/media/ select ok. Now 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 will work upon boot... "
After the above has been setup on your device you can now navigate to your gif file in a file explorer app. Once you click the gif file window pops up and use gif to bootanimation, then choose to install..
or
ONLY IF YOU ALREADY COMPLETED THE STEPS ABOVE;
If you already completed the above steps with naming samsungai to samsungani.bak, and bootanimation to samsungani in the /system/bin, and changed location install to /system/media/ then you can download the bootanimation.zip and manually copy paste it into /system/media/ via root explorer or you could even open romtoolbox goto bootanimations then choose local tab then find the bootanimation.zip click it then choose install, then reboot your phone.
Because this site has bugs when uploading i have to name bootanimations over and over again (they get overwritten) so you have to rename the bootanimation after downloading to bootanimation.zip

Knowing that you are running PACman you should be able to take your bootanimation.zip file and place in /system/media using ES File Manager or similar app change permissions to rw-, r--, r-- and reboot. Hope that works for you.
Nope, that doesn't work with the file I attached to the OP. Just did as you instructed and it booted my phone black (sounds like it booted fine, but everything is black). So, I had to go into recovery and restore a backup. This is the problem I'm having...either the file in the OP isn't the right one for my phone, or something. I did set the permission and placed the bootanimation.zip in the /system/media folder and that is what happened.
I downloaded the AOKP rom and extracted the bootanimation.zip file...moved it to /system/media and set permissions as --rw --r --r and rebooted and same crapola...black screen...had to restore a backup.
Does it have to be somehow converted to a qmg file? If so, how come it isn't one in the AOKP rom then?
Here is the file...
https://www.dropbox.com/s/93orocmsfc68j8k/bootanimation.zip
FYI...Rom Toolbox installs it pre-installed bootanimations just fine and they work. I only have issues when I try to do one myself outside of Rom Toolbox. :/

Interesting... Question, when you copy the files manually to the /system/media folder is it replacing a different bootanimation.zip file? If not, then it must be located in the "/data/local" location? You could try copying there? As far as being converted to qmg format, pretty sure that is only the case for Touch Wiz ROMs. I have had the "Blackout", boots fine situation myself. If I get a chance tonight I will load PACman and see if I can help that way. Sorry can't be more help.

Yeah, it was replacing one. I just double checked /data/local and there isn't anything regarding bootanimation there.
I just opened the PACman zip that I have installed on my phone and found the bootanimation.zip and it is in /system/media and it is a series of jpg files (two folders full). The only difference between the CM animation and the AOKP one is that the AOKP one are PNGs instead of JPGs.
If you are still interested in this weird problem...here is what I have tried...
I converted the PNG files to JPGs...rezipped, put on phone, confirmed correct permissions after placing it in /system/media/
The only progress is that it didn't keep my phone black after boot...only a black/blank boot animation.
Files are 480x800

Now all I did was I took Christian Tailor's bootanimation which was 1080p and converted it into 720p which will fit perfectly on S3 or any 720p devices.
Here is the link to download,

Install Instructions:
1. Your device need to be rooted. It won't work if your device is not rooted. How to root? Please check online. I hope samsung device users have custom rom with root and not stock rom with root. I have no idea how it works in other brand android devices, so proceed only if it is similar process as you find below.
2. This is not a flashable file, so you have to copy it into your system/media .
3. Use X-plore, make sure you have root access. To get root access, press configuration. Under Root access, select superuser + mount writable. I only know how to do this in xplore, i don't know how it works in other apps. So sorry. I will let you know how it works in other apps.
4. Now go to root/system/media and you will find bootanimation.zip . Copy it to your internal/external memory.
5. Delete the bootanimation.zip from system/media.
6. Now copy the dcmarvel720pbootanimation.zip to system/media and rename it to bootanimation.zip .
7. Now reboot your device.
8. Now Enjoy.
[By the way, I really don't know if I was allowed to post this or not. If I was not allowed, please comment here, and also I am sorry, I will remove it as soon as possible. If I am allowed then thank you. Please support the original people who did it.]
Hi. Good job bro. But, Can you tell how to install this? I tried via recovery and it failed... Tried putting in system/media and rebooted but the previous boot animation is still showing. I renamed the old bootanimation.zip first before trying.
Thanks

In system/media, remove the previous boot animation. Either delete it or just copy it to your internal memory, but you will have to delete it in your system/media. Now save the dc-marvel bootanimation zip to system/media and rename it to bootanimation.zip
Now try rebooting. Hope it worked.

Update : was using Cm11 theme before and this seemed to be the cause.restored the theme to default and placed the boot animation to system/media and it worked like a charm.
Thank you again
Very cool, but why must it call me a mother****er when I install it?

Hmmm, when I replace the original bootanimation.zip with the Superhero one and restart, I only get flashing "android" text in the middle of the screen, it's animated so something is happening... but no heroes. Curious. Any ideas?
Thanks for bringing this to the forums btw and resizing it
EDIT: Found out why, I needed to change the permissions to rw-r-r

It did yes, I used ES file explorer (make it have root permissions) and if you go to more > properties permissions > change and set it to rw-r-r, the bootanimation then works
Haha, it's awesome! The size is a bit big, but that's not a problem. Thanks! :victory:
Didn't work for me?

are you rooted? also are you using a custom rom?
it only works if you use both root and a custom rom,
as said in the instructions, make sure you have given superuser mount writable permissiom. Either delete the bootanimation.zip from you system/media or copy the bootanimation.zip to your internal memory or external memory if available.
now copy paste the dcmarvelbootanimation.zip to system/media and rename it to bootanimation [make sure it is still in zip format which means it is .zip]
now try rebooting.

2.Open root explorer (or some sort of similar app)
3. under System/media move old bootanimation over to external SD card (or remove)
4. Find new bootanimation file, move to data/local
5. Rename file to bootanimation
6.change permissions to rw-r--r--
Restart phone and enjoy

I renamed the zip to bootanimation.zip and copied it to root/system/media.
but I am only getting an android logo as the boot animation, nothing like the stuff shown here.
I am rooted and unofficial cm12.
