[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.

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.

[How To] Change your Bootanimation

Confirmed working on T999, and i747
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.

send me the bootanimation you're trying to use

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.

Did not like the Nexus 7 animation. Like the original SGS 3 though. Can somebody post it (bootanimation.zip)?

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.

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.

[Request] Current AOKP Boot Animation

I found the boot animation for AOKP, and I tried simply putting it on my phone and that didn't work out. So, could someone either make it where I can simply flash it or has it already been fixed for our E4GT phones?

Try this flashable zip with your bootanimation file added. It should work with any TW based ROMs. What ROM are you running? Touch Wiz, AOSP, Jelly Bean, ICS?

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.

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

Here you go don't forget to set permissions to rwx r-x r-x

Let me know if work for you. Just try it on mine and it boot up fine. The problem w/ bootanimatios are usually compression lvl.
