[MOD][THEME][APP]Original Samsung Galaxy S II Boot Animation and Shutdown

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!

Sorry Guys, I thought they were done uploading, apparently not...
I love the power on and power off animations, clean, simple, and no carrier branding...

Thanks was really looking for a replacement to Sprints splash during shutdown.

Thanks will try these when I get home.

Thanks for this, but your instructions are either incomplete, confusing, or both.

There is no bootanimation.zip or sanim.zip in this folder currently. Does that matter? If you have it installed how do you not know which name is correct for it to work?
Also, there is a bootsamsung.qmg file in here, I would think that is the animation file?

You have 2 shutdown.qmg files in the zip. One in the root Galaxy S II Shutdown folder and another in the video/shutdown folder. In addition there are a ton of .png files in this folder you don't explain what to do with.

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...

I updated the download zip, those were extra files from a different animation I was working on... you can delete them, they arent needed...
all you need is shutdown.qmg and the poweroff.wav

Do you have any shutdown animation currently? or does it just say powering down when you turn it off? if it just says powering down or off... then you dont have a shutdown animation, which is why it isnt there...
Post Back your results!!!
All I can say is try it, if it doesnt work delete it. just remember, these are the locations...
Video Shutdown:shutdown.qmg - Paste in system/media/video/shutdown folder
Audio Shutdown: PowerOff.wav - paste in system/media/audio/ folder

Thanks for the shutdown animation Op.

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...
I am not a dev, but learning more about android, and modding every day...

Thanks for the modified install procedure. Works for me now.
I replaced the PowerOn.wav with a .wav file I found at freesounds.org. It's quite different and fresh/new!
Let me know if you want the file, ahhhh screw it, I included it here for you...
Just rename it PowerOn.wav of course...

That's exactly what I am looking for since wiped rom a long time ago.Thanks a lot for sharing.

Thanks for posting this and working on it! Working great on stock rooted ROM and stock kernel.

I tried the steps outlined by satur9ine, but wasn't able to successfully change the boot/shutdown animation. I'm using root explorer; and copying the files over to the named locations but still no dice. My current boot animation (android) remains. Any suggestions?

Followed these steps, mainly the Audio Shutdown directions and now I have the shutdown audio.

I created a flashable for stock roms and I can post if someone needs it. I can make one for modded roms but I need to know what the difference is and what files aren't required.
---------- Post added at 12:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:55 AM ----------
OK OP if these flashables work for everyone, feel free to add to the OP.
Ok here is the boot animation. I have tested and it works for stock roms, custom roms version was tested and works. I did not create this animation, I just zipped it for flashing.

Customize Galaxy 3 Boot-up Screen

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.
type R-blood

forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32906808&postcount=5068
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.

Custom Boots

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.

you can download xxxxxxxxxxGIF.zip and rename the extension to .gif and then use RomToolBox to Automate the install. You need help just ask ill do my best.
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

All I get is a black screen with the original boot sound. I am using AGATS recovery

how did you install it what did you do exactly? Are u still able to boot your phone or is it stuck?

DC-MARVEL Bootanimation.zip [720p ]

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.

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

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.

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.

You have to change the permissions correctly.

oh yeah.. awesome boot animation

Bootanimation - I changed the correct file, but it's still showing a different one

Latest April update and I have magisk 16.3 with 5.64 manager version. Everything works fine, but now i've hit a snag.
I wanted to change the boot animation, I changed the file /media/bootanimation.zip and set permissions 644 (rw-r-r) using 1)solid explorer 2)root explorer 3)adb shell (using mount-wo remount rootfs / to make the /media partition writable. multiple reboots of course. the files I set are "sticking" after reboot.
It's still showing stock animation.
I found an app that would change it though: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=website.olivermillers.customboot2
I don't know what file it changed but it made a backup of my stock animation, and it was my stock animation (not the one that I had set for /media/bootanimation.zip). I tried to restore the stock animation manually, as described above, but now it just shows the boot animation set by that app, and I can't change it.
Questions:
1. What am I doing wrong and what did that app do correctly, that it was able to change the boot animation?
and/or
2. Is there a substratum module with a black pixel 2 animation? That's all I really want and I can change animations with magisk easily and reliably. Just can't find the one I need.

I did it using the root browser app and the bootanimation changed.. it's system/media I think

Like EnlXmA said, it goes on system/media. Using root explorer, I just place my new bootanimation.zip in that folder, add a .bat to my old animation, and just reboot. No need to change permissions at all. Here's a dark pixel bootanimation if you want/need it :good: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zStFsJiqq5bLTp5krQnpwlztoJfK_B33/view?usp=drivesdk

Thanks so much guys. I feel so stupid. i've read your posts on this before, BAdger, even saw that same screenshot and download that same file from your drive. And yet I still thought it was /media, not /system/media. Thanks for the tip that I don't need to change permissions, too, I did not know that.
:good::good::good:
Would you mind posting a copy of the .bak file (the stock boot animation)? In my stupid attempts, I deleted mine.)
