Hi, i am looking for the boot animation in the MIUI Rom and simply can't find it. Hopefully someone can point me to the right direction as i don't like the one that comes with S-Murphys Rom. Thanks!
I believe he has it stored in the folder system/media.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the reply but i have already checked that and it seems that there are only the Recovery.img and Audio there. Thanks though

Have you tried flashing an animation of your choice from the UOT kitchen? That should overwrite it.
The UOT kitchen themes overwrite /system/media/bootanimation.zip
The MIUI-au rom doesn't seem to use this file (as there is no such file on the device).
For me, flashing a kitchen theme resulted in my phone hanging at boot time with the MIUI rom's boot animation, so I don't think that will work.
We do have a /system/bin/bootanimation, but that's an executable file. Maybe if we overwrite that with the executable from another ROM which does use /system/media/bootanimation.zip?

Uh, oh..My bad. Sorry abt the suggestion! Thanks for the info
Well, after asking S-Murphy, i found out that you just have to place the one you like in System\media before flashing thats it Thanks for the suggestions!
Im actually on Deck's, but when I was using CM7 I had the same problem, and Deck is a fork... so yea.
Anyways, on most roms I simply flash a zip and then boom, I have a boot animation. For whatever reason on Deck's\CM7 however, it doesn't change and it stays the custom one made for the rom. Is this something cyanogenmod purposely did, or am I noob? Thanks!
Not all boot animations are flashable, they normally say if they are.
Take the bootanimaiton.zip that you want and:
A- adb push it to /system/media
B- use root explorer and move it to /system/media
Actually, the best place to put it on CyanogenMod is /data/local/, that way it'll be there even after you upgrade your phone's software (ie, from 7.0.2.1 to 7.0.3.1).
I appreciate both of your replies, still having odd issues. The zip is flashable... i have flashed it on other roms, yet when i flash it on CM the boot animation doesn't actually change. If I move the file to /data/local or /system/media, it does in fact change my boot animation, but it's not full screen - and the animation is definitely full screen when I flash it on other roms. Any ideas?
Download boot animation installer or changer

I have attached the offending boot animation....
If someone could please point me in the right
direction on what im doing wrong...
And if someone else is having the same
problem, maybe this might show/help show
them the right way as well....
I have tried it in system/media as well as
system/customize/resource...and still a no
go...Is the internal file settings correct?
I can use other boot screens and it works
but this modded version doesn't work
what kind of rom? sense or asop. cause you missing the correct file stucture either way.
Im sorry Im using Sense and I am trying
to work it in a stock ROM that I have
been working on for a week
here try one of these. i put the correct files in both and zipped it and made it for either one(asop or sense)
these are for flashing in recovery, if you want to just add it to a rom unzip and take out the bootanimation.zip and you can replace it in the rom before flashing the rom or use root explorer
so would you know how to integrate it in
so there is no need on flashing? It has the
boot screen already "pre-loaded" when
you flash the ROM
but other then that...AWESOME THANKS!
in a sense rom you have to goto system\customize\resource and just replace the bootanimation.zip with the one you want to use. when zipping up the rom you zip the whole thing with 7zip(or whatever you use) using normal and you have to sign it using autosign(or whatever you use)
hope that helps you out, good luck with the rom
works BEAUTIFULLY!! You may use it if you like!
Samsung Galaxy S III
I'm on Omega v13 ROM and Siyah-s3-v1.5 kernel.
Android version: 4.0.4
I downloaded a boot animation and saved the bootanimation.zip in < System/Media > and deleted the default boot animation from < Data/Local > (also tried placing the zip in data local too).
I set my boot zip with all the permissions.
I reboot my device and the boot animation is still the default one .
While looking in the system media folder I noticed files "bootsamsung.qmg" and "bootsamsungloop.qmg", I cant find on the internet what these files are, are they the default boot animation? What are they?
I'm not sure where I have gone wrong, please could someone experienced help me, i'm a newby at this lol.
Thanks,
Danny K
Bootanimation zip do you have a kernel that supports bootanimation zip files .
bootsamsung.qmg" and "bootsamsungloop.qmg", I cant find on the internet what these files are, are they the default boot animation? What are they?
Default Samsung boot animation files .QMG format .

As far as I can tell, Siyah supports custom boot animation.
From what I can find on the internet
http://www.jayceooi.com/2012/06/20/how-to-install-custom-kernel-on-samsung-galaxy-s3/ - this post suggests it should work.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1818975 - that dosnt really answer the question.
Ask the dev you are getting these custom boots from .
Its always been on SGS1 and 2 kernel supports boot zip yes place bootzip in relevant location that will then replace the stock Boot QMG files from running .
Alternative is to pay a lot of money for a QMG editor .

This post will NOT be updated anymore, as i made a new thread which is more clean:
Custom Bootanimations Collection + How To Install

hi there,
ive made two cwm flash zip's that can do the job for you.. it requires busybox, but as you stated that youre using omega v13, you should have that already..
copy your bootanimation.zip to /data/local or /system/media..
boot into cwm, flash CWM_CustomBootanimation_Enable.zip and reboot to see changes take effect..
[--EDIT: IGNORE THIS!--
!!!THIS IS IMPORTANT!!! Dont ever flash the CWM_CustomBootanimation_Enable.zip more than once, or it will overwrite the backup file, and you cant get the stock booanimation back..
--/EDIT: IGNORE THIS!--]
if you want the stock bootanimation again or there is something wrong with the animation (bootloop, etc..), just flash the CWM_CustomBootanimation_Disable.zip ... or you can use adb to delete/replace the bootanimation.zip with a working one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31756526&postcount=50 .. thanks to Kryten2k35, for pointing it out.
if ive helped, hit thanks
EDIT: updated the flashable-zips, so that it dosent matter how many times you flash, it will still keep the backup created at first flash..
EDIT2: Remember to get the disable-zip file too! if you end up with a bootloop because of a bad animation, you can just flash the disable-zip, replace the non-working bootanimation with a working one, and flash the enable-zip again... so its a good thing to have both on the device, when trying out animations..
EDIT3: the enable and disable flashable zips works on stock roms, just tested it.. the only thing that is required for it too work, is cf-root w/ cwm, and busybox installed.. it also works on Jellybean roms, but its worth to mention that loopable bootanimations will NOT work on ICS, only on JB.. if you use a looped animation on ICS you will get a bootloop, but on JB it will pass through the bootup..

Thats a problem with your animation.. Inside the bootanimation.zip there is desc.txt file.. Open that, and where it says: p 0 0 part0... Or something like that, change it to p 1 0 part0... If there are more parts, change those too.
The first digit - is how many times that part should be played (0 means infinite/forever)
The last digit - is the delay before the animation begins to play, in milliseconds.
Part0 - is the folder with the animation

Can you show me how should a .desc file look?
I have tried a few different boot animations from different websites, all do the same thing.

Have you changed anything before running my enable-flash-zip? in that case, what have you changed?
Have you tried open the bootanimation.zip with winrar / 7zip or something similar? If so, there should be a file named "desc.txt" and at least one folder usally called part0..
You could try flash omega again, and then flash my enable-zip, and copy bootanimation.zip to /data/local...
But try send the link to the bootanimation that youve got, and i can test it for you..
usally a desc.txt file looks like this:
720 1280 20
p 1 0 part0
Click to expand...

or
480 800 25
p 1 0 part0

EDIT: try download this custom bootanimation test, and copy it to your /data/local
bootanimation.zip
if this one works, it is the animations you tried that dosent work for this device or need some modification for it to work..

I didnt change anything.
Yeah thats what i did, i looked at each desc file and they all seemed pretty much the same.
I noticed my battery was going down faster with this root and kernel on so im back on stock now.
I cant link it, its from Rom Tool Box Pro collection of boot animations. Theres a free app of it too if you dont have it. (from play store)
Im guessing it was the rom/kernel that wouldnt let it work properly.
Thanks for helping though

Have you tried checking the desc.txt file in the bootanimation.zip file? If its 0 (zero) after p, it will loop the animation forever..
If it is 0 try change it to 1..
You might check post #13 in this thread so that you can compare..
Ok thanks to you.
Yes there was a 0 because the start sequence takes longer for other phones, it should be play the second folder until it is launched.
and sorry, I overlooked the other post.

Thats good to hear
For the boot sound you might want to check /system/media/audio/ui folder. And search for PowerOn.ogg...

Do I need an alternate kernel to use the custom boot animation?
I am still on stock-rom and kernel.
Update: No, I dont. Tried it today and the bootanimation.zip in this thread does work, but others from here: hxxp://androidbootanimation.com/category/1280x720-boot-animations/ dont (black screen only).
I tried to convert the *.png to *.jpeg from the Nexus-Animation, but no change
