BOOTANIMATIONS:
Stock JellyBean
Stock Sprint
Stock LG
Stock ICS
Nexus 7
Pac-Man
R2-D2
SHUTDOWNANIMATIONS:
Stock LG
Stock Sprint
DO NOT FLASH IN RECOVERY!
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.
Thank you for your work.
Does everyone know, though, that the boot animation applications from the play store work as long as you adjust the proper settings inside the app?

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.
I might already know the answer, but can I add this to the rom your testing? and tell which one you would like me to try.

you need to use the bootanimation.zip in the system/media/ within the .zip itself
Here is the Boot Animation and a sound I put together. I put it all in the

-You need a xml editor for this. Something like Notepad++
-This mod is untested because I dont have the device at the moment.
-Make a backup of your current framework-res.apk and Systemui.apk files
-After 2 weeks I believe I found all of what I need for this MOD after going through the framework and Systemui of my Galaxy Nexus
-This did work on my Galaxy Note
-Please try at your own risk
How To
1. Decompile the framework-res
2. In the values folder you will find bools.xml
3. Open up the file and search for "config_showNavigationBar"
4. This should be false, change it to True
5. Open up the dimens.xml and search for "navigation_bar_height"
6. Change the value there to either one of these because im not sure how it would look (25, 30, 35)
7. Recompile your framework-res.apk
8. Extract or Decompile the systemui.apk
9. Navigate to the drawable-hdpi folder
10. Download these NavBar_Icons images and place them in that folder
11. Zip or Recompile the systemui.apk
(OPTIONAL)
After completing the above
Disable the light on the capacitive touch keys(Home-Back-Menu-Search)
1. Decompile the framework-res.apk
2. In the values folder you will find arrays.xml
3. Open that xml and search for "config_autobrightnessbacklightvalues"
4. Change all values to 0
5. Recompile the framework-res.apk
Thanks!

Boot files go to /system/media

Make sure to set proper permission. If u don't kno them check the original files

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.

System Manager Application started FCing on me after I replaced these files. Anybody else? Weird
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!!

2.Samsung_Vibrant_Boot_Animation.. (same as international S3)

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.

But if there's nothing else, I'll stick with this. So thanks!

You can set it to not show the icon in the status bar.

Lol, I'm such a noob!
Now if only I could get that last row of apps to show, that would be nice.

i dont think you can with this app because it doesnt readjust the grid it just rotates and squishes it so most of it fits

Right, there's a bit of the top showing though, and I can still open the app.
Except for the one in the middle, because the page indicator is right there.
I would still prefer a modified launcher though.
But I'm using this until, hopefully, someday a modded touchwiz appears on the scene.
I remember I had one on my Galaxy s 4g.

How are you at custom work. In your framework-res.apk. decompile. Find /res/values/bools.XML. change "config_allowAllRotations" to true
Change "enableLockScreenRotation" to true.
Save recompile install. Enjoy

If it is not too much to ask, Can you Please do this for us coz i need this for my phone too. right now i am using Apex Launcher but i would rather use TouchWiz. if you decompile it and then upload it here we would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance. i don't know anything about decompiling otherwise i would do it myself..
I'm on gs3. Can you upload a copy of yours?
Can you put it in dropbox? I can take a look after work.

I tried uploading my framework res. apk, but it's too big a file.
I'm trying to learn how to decompile, but my step daughter just took the computer from me, to talk to her grandma in Brazil.
I'm gonna try later though.
Thanks for your help.

Well, I'm a noob at decompiling.
So what I did was change the extension from framework-res.apk to .zip, and extract it.
In the /res/ folder there is no /values folder.
I've been searching for a bools.xml folder, but no luck.
Is this something that will only show by decompiling?
Or is the GN2 framework diferent from the GS3 one?
TIA
That would work to edit images. You need to use apktool (search it ) to decompile the file before you can edit those values. I will be home in about an hour if you can find somewhere to upload it i can take a look. However i believe if you look up apktool it will be pretty easy to do yourself. Just dont forgot to make a backup in case something goes off

Yeah, I've been following this guide, but I always get an error when decompiling.
Hmm, let me try a dropbox link.
Let me know if that was successful.
Thanks for all your help!
Modded framework
http://db.tt/8HUWcSFN
needs renamed because I'm lazy
Here is a flashable zip. Disregard it saying edge zoom. It's an old zip. It works on s3 may not be the right flasher for you but you can try it
http://db.tt/biIOIpUC
Oh yes also. I looked at the guide you are following and got lost. There are several quality guides on this site. Here is a good one for beginners

Thanks for all your trouble.
However, I got the file on your first link, renamed it to framework-res.apk, and copied it to system/framework.
As I started to get a lot of force closes, I did a reboot.
This resulted in an endless boot loop, which forced me to pull my battery, get into recovery, and restore my system.
So back to the drawing board, I guess.
I still appreciate all your help. Thanks for using your time to help a stranger. :thumbup:

I'm uploading a zip to replace the modded with the original. Try installing from recovery and if that still boot loops try fixing permissions. Only thing i changed was the bools.XML
If it still fails you should be able to use this remove zip

So, you're saying flash the the zip on the second link in your previous post.
And if that goes wrong, flash the zip on this latest post?
I'm at work right now, but I'll try later tonight.
Thanks.

Funny I'm just headed out to work. The first post has a zip to install screen rotating. The second post is your unmodified original framework so when you try the modified again. if it does not work, you can replace with the original file from the second post instead of having to wait through a full reset
That does seem odd. Maybe it's the flashable file. It was for my gs3. I've replaced them with the update scripts from a Galaxy note 2 package. They are the same download links as before. I verified that it is the modified file there. Was there any error? Did you verify that it actually copied the file? Easiest to tell by looking at the date it was modified. Its really not that great of a mod anyway. The constant rotation gets annoying and this method doesn't give a toggle. Still try the new zips and see if that makes the difference

Well, I flashed the ScreenRotation.Zip, and while nothing wrong happened, nothing happened at all! Everything is just normal, no screen rotation.
Bummer, huh?
