Hi, everybody....
I've just edit a bootanimation.zip file, but It doesn't work. I use Nexus Prime bootanimation.zip, then I open it with WinRAR. I replace all *.jpg files that comes with Nexus prime bootanimation file by drag N drop several image file with .jpg extension. I also make sure that the file's name is same with Nexus Prime image.
After replacing, I send the new bootanimation to SD card, moving it to System/Media by using Root Explore, then Reboot my phone...
But, I don't see bootanimation while the phone's wake up...
Any solution??
Is the compression the same as the originals?

Emmm.... I don't know about that... I've just replace the original image files with mine... Then just click "Ok". Am I wrong??
Hurm.
open original bootanimation using winrar,
make sure the file name and resolution that you are using same as the original inside the zip.
Now just drag and drop your file to the bootanimation.zip, it will overwrite the original file inside the. Zip.
Close zip and copy to sd, and place it in the right place. Set the permission if im not mistaken 6-4-4 or rw-r--r-- .
Now reboot and see if it boot using you custom animation.
But aren't bootanimation only in. Png format??

Hai Nujhum... Yeah, right... I've done it before... Same with what you say...
Maybe try using something like 7-zip. I know for fact that WinRar sometimes changes something in the header of the file and even though it's ZIP file not all un-zip utilities can extract it.

Hi!
I've made a StarGate Bootanimation for Galaxy S II. (for Android 2.3.5)
Thanks to crispixfr for the original version (for SGS1).
Actually i resized his version, replaced its sound (the original was too dull), and updated the script for SGS2 Android 2.3.5.
Install:
First of all you have to unrar the two parts. -i had to split the .ZIP with rar because xda forum allows only 8MB attachments.
After that:
a) Install With ClockWorkMod
OR:
b) Install with root explorer (extract the .zip and paste the bootanimation.zip in system/media and PowerOn.wav in system/etc)
I recommend to increase the system volume to maximum for real experience.
(Settings>Sound settings>Volume>System volume)
Previews:
great animation. Have it also in my SGS1. The problem wich i have, is that the sound of locking symbols is to fast.... But maybe our gs2 is to damn fast.
best regards
PS. also i have a power on and off from Transformes wich i love have them on every phone that i own (glad to share with you guys)

You mean that the sound doesn't match the picture?
Maybe your phone plays the video slower than mine.
no no..you got me wrong...IT MATCH..but it plays fast then i used to sgs1. in sgs1 is more like in the movie (but i think is about that in sgs1 it take longer to boot).
it's like 1.2.3.4.5.6.7 done but no issues about sync video/audio
Looks good will give this a go i was getting a bit bored of the Galaxy Nexus boot animation anyway
Thanks you for to have updating my boot animation !!! Crispix is the best !!! And you too now lol
Just one thing before i flash which part do i flash via CWM or is it both do i flash one and then after it reboots flash the other one or how does it work?

As i have said in the first post: First of all you have to unrar the two parts.
So there is only ONE ZIP file, which you'll have after extracting the RAR files.
After that, you only have to flash the extracted ZIP file!
@OP: why two files?

Sometimes is not working the regular method (trough CWM). You need to push the files manually.
Choose a file explorer wich can gain read writte rights on system folder (personaly i use root explorer).
Step 1. Unzip the zip file wich doesn't work trough CWM flash, and you will obtain several folders (system/media wich contain bootanimation.zip) and etc/ wich contain PowerOn.wav. Copy this files in a folder inside your internal sdcard or external sdcard. Mainly you are interested on bootanimation.zip and PowerOn.wav
Step2. With file explorer mount with R/W the system folder and copy the bootanimation.zip from your folder to your /system/media folder. If you allready have a bootanimation.zip there, it will be overwritted.
Step 3. With file explorer mount R/W the etc folder, and copy from your folder PowerOn.wav to your etc folder.
Step 4. Reboot. Enjoy.
I think the same steps are also for the other kernels wich use the sanim.zip.
I don't remember in what folder is stored, but it will be like, rename the extracted bootanimation.zip to sanim.zip, and copy the new file to the respective folder. The poweron.wav is going to the etc folder.
If you have a copy error please check if you have read/writte rights on that folder. For default you have Read Only rights.
Hope that helps, and all credits go to the OP for this great animation.
best regards
This is a great animation.
Running on Checkrom Rev 3.1.1 with Green Monkey theme.
Thanks for the effort.
well done

When i download the .Apk file it shows up on my desktop as a .Zip. If i place it on my sdcard Astro just wants to open it instead of installing it.
Any ideas on what im doing wrong???
Thank you
unzip it first on your desktop, the apk is located in the zip. and then move the apk

Hm, which version? It should just be an apk which you can download/install via phone. Or download it via desktop and move it to the phone. Perhaps your browser is doing something wrong!?

Its version LMT v0.9 here from the Xda site.
Maybe im suppost to flash it in cwm.....
If i extract it to my desktop the files that show up are as follows-

No apk in there. I sure i just dont know what im doing. Guess i need i step by step guide for beginers..lol

Please don't install it via cwm! . An apk is nothing more than a normal zip file with a special folder structure/contained files (you already posted the contained files ). So perhaps your browser tried to find the "best" extension and named it *.zip. Just rename it to *.apk again, push it to your phone and try to install it again. Then it should work...

You were right. Thank you very much.
Guess windows was adding the .zip to the end of it after i renamed it .apk..lol Didnt notice that until i took a look at the file in Root Explorer and it was Lmt_v0.9.apk.zip. Just renamed it again to Lmt_v0.9.apk. Astro installed it just fine now...

This thread should have been posted on a microsoft windows forum. Period.

Unfortunately as some of you may have already figured out, changing your boot animation isn't as easy as it used to be.
I've searched around and couldn't actually find a decent tutorial on how to change them for rooted/stock Samsung devices.
Therefore after moderate amount of trial and error, and the much needed help of a few others, I've decided to create a small "How To" for Samsung devices.
****************************************************
So the basic bootanimation editing
Get the bootanimation.zip file that you want to use (or create your own)
Unzip it to verify a little information is correct
Open the desc.txt file > you should see something like this (numbers will vary)
700 1116 18
p 1 0 part0
p 5 0 part1
Whatever bootanimation you use, make SURE that the number directly after the "p" is NOT 0 otherwise you will enter a never-ending loop.
You will probably also need to edit the dimensions in this file. (in the example would be the top line 700 1116 18)
From playing around with a few animations, somewhere in the ballpark of 480x800 and 720x1200 seem to be working pretty well, but pending the images you may need to play around with them to make it work for your phone.
Once you've set the loop amount and fixed the dimensions, save the desc.txt file, re-zip the file (make sure to include part0 and part1 and other folders if you're creating your own) and transfer it to your phone
[alternatively, adb push to system/media]
*************************************************************************************
‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼
*********** MAKE A NANDOID BACKUP ***********
‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼
First:
Navigate to system/media and either can either A) Delete the original bootanimation.zip located in system/media or B) simply rename it to something else (ex. bootanimationBAK.zip)
Using a root explorer of some type, move the new bootanimation.zip file in this folder to replace the original. [mount r/w]
And then...
Using the root explorer, navigate to system/bin
you will be working with 2 files.
*First find a file named "samsungani" (no file extension) and delete or rename it (ex samsunganiBAK) [mount r/w]
*Secondly find a file named "bootanimation" (also, no file extension) and rename this file to "samsungani" without the quotation.
OPTIONAL...
I personally hate T-Mobile's bootup/shutdown sounds.
While we're in the /system folder we can disable or remove them completely.
*** Navigate to system/media/audio/ui
You will be working with two files here again.
Look for "PowerOff.wav" and "PowerOn.ogg"
*** Rename them to something else or simply delete them. (ex. "PowerOffBAK.wav" and "PowerOnBAK.ogg"
And finally...
Change your system to R/O and reboot your device.
NOTE: if your bootanimation winds up not playing, and you get a blank screen until the device boots up completely, verify that the images in part0 and part1 are in .png format.
****************************************************************************************
This is the reason I had to figure this out. For those of you wanting the Nexus 7 bootanimation, I have this working on my phone at the moment.
So far, this is only confirmed working on the T-Mobile GSIII however *should* work for all variants.
please let me know what other Samsung devices this also works for.
Confirmed NOT working for: I9300, L710, i535. - if you figure out a way to get this on your device, let me know and i will add it!
*** If you get this loop and are unable to navigate to folders, attached is a flashable zip for a samsung bootanimation hopefully it helps*** < thanks to billard412 for this
Worked on ATT SGS3. Thanks.
Althoug I am not impressed with Nexus 7 boot animation. Going to ROM Toolbox to pickup something else.
Thanks for the howto!

BTW you don't have to put bootanimation.zip in /system/media. /data/local will do the job, it is being checked first for localized animation

alternatively yes. either way works. just wanted to put this out there for the people that were having a hard time figuring it out. I got extremely frustrated going back and forth putting bits of information together and hopefully others will find it useful as well.

If i don't want any animation can i simply rename or delete the animation and sound files you mentioned? And hopefully that will reduce boot time.

Doesn't work for GS3 Stock Rooted Rom. Need QMG files for that.
This seems to not be working properly with the Verizon S3.
I may have just missed something, but on my rooted Verizon S3, this caused me to stay in the boot animation perpetually. The phone booted as normal and I could tell the volume keys were working correctly, but the boot animation never went away.

AT&T I747 only has the qmg file in media. Also the local file is there, but placing the file in there does not do anything. Still uses the qmg file.
Would need to have a kernel that supports boot animations in order to change this one.

And finally...
Change your system to R/O and reboot your device.
DID THIS ALSO BUT DON'T FORGET TO FIX PERMISSIONS ON YOU BOOTANIMATION TO RW R R.
Did not like the Nexus 7 animation. Like the original SGS 3 though. Can somebody post it (bootanimation.zip)?
Would this work for AT&T variation?
It's the stock animation without carrier splash screen as modded by PhantomHacker a la Blazer ROM

British graphic designer Christian Tailor created this awesome animation of stylized Marvel and DC Comics heroes and villains, and now you can use it as the boot animation on your Android device.
It was later turned into default start up animation by Brian Roberts
HTML:
https://plus.google.com/+BrianRoberts
and later into a flashable zip by Ronald Valdes
HTML:
https://plus.google.com/+RonaldValdes
.
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.

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.
