[Q] MIUI Custom Bootanimation

I was wondering whether or not it was possible to change the boot animation of MIUI with the animation of your choice. I know you can get MIUI boot animations from what I would assume "MIUI store". I wanted to put a boot animation that I have(Barbershop Android/Apple thing). I know you can do it on normal android by replacing it in /System/Media/ but that does not work in MIUI. I really don't like the boot animations from MIUI.

i'm showing thats where it goes is system/media named bootanimation, thats in 1.8.5.
try using root explorer to move the animation that you want to that location and check that the permissions are set to rw-r-r.

Make sure the boot animation is in the /system/media folder, and the name is bootanimation, so the total name will be bootanimation.zip; also make sure all the correct files are inside the zip.

For MIUI, you have to add it into your theme mtz or make an mtz with the boot animation and select it from theme manager. MIUI doesn't use the bootanimation in /system/media unless you select the "default" boot animation in theme manager. I'm not sure if you could simply replace the bootanimation.zip and then reapply the default theme boot animation. Try that out, if it doesn't work I'll explain how to make an mtz with the boot animation or if you want I can make it for you.

Thanks jane. I replaced the boot animation in /System/Media/ and switched it to default, i tried that before but i didn't realize that you had to change it to default.
Thanks a lot.

The miui boot ani's are in mtz format correct? How would I go about making that into a bootanimation.zip?

If you have an mtz with a boot animation that you want to use for another rom, change the mtz extension to .zip. Extract the zip file and you'll see a folder named "boots", inside that folder is the bootanimation.zip
The boot animation itself is not in mtz format, it's still your normal "bootanimation.zip", but if it's a part of a theme then the theme will be in mtz format.

i was on Huawei x6 variant and while changing the boot animation from theme i ended up putting a corrupt (i guess so) android 4 bootanimation and it was stuck at the boot animation screen.
i was searching google and ended up here which i found useful. thanks
but it didnt help me to resolve .. but shed some light.
luckily i had access to the phone with QtADB
the active boot animation MIUI rom uses is located in the /data/system/theme/boots/
the theme folder itself is the whole modded theme of yours.
so changing the animation (zip file) here will be as good as changing from theme edit option . just wanted to share this

so then how would you go around converting a .zip boot ani to .mtz?

if you have an mtz(have to have the folders right), so use an old one and replace the bootanimation.zip with the one you want to use and when zipping it up(normal in 7zip)
type xxxxx(name you want to call it).mtz and 7zip will make it a mtz that you place on sdcard and then open theme changer and it should be there

Running latest MIUI I have .mtz files for Boot Animations, Fonts, Icon Sets etc in /sdcard/MIUI/theme/ and then go into Settings/Themes and manage it all there with Customize function.
It is hit or miss simply renaming a .zip to .mtz but have found it to work but if it doesn't I have had some serious FC issues and had to restore from last CW backup. I use Boot Manager if I want a virtual ROM I can mess up and restore on the fly without rebooting.

this is how I able to change my boot animation on my galaxy s gti9000 it might help u. (please note me using different phone)
steps
1. take any bootanimation.zip of your choice download it in your pc.
2. In your pc create one folder called boots.
3. put bootanimation.zip in boots folder.
4. take any .mtz file and open it (using win.rar)
5. delete the data of .mtz file keep any 1 file because if you delete everything windows will delete .mtz file it self.
6. now put the boot folder in .mtz file
7. delete remaining 1 file which you kept as it is in step 5.
8. rename the .mtz file as 1bootanimation.mtz (or u can give any name but remember it)
9. now take your phone and connect it to your pc
10. open file explorer in your mobile
11. paste the 1bootanimation.mtz into sdcard/miui/theme
12. now go to theme apps and select 1.bootanimation and apply it
it should change your boot animation and this way you can have multiple bootanimation and apply it whenever you like it.

Stock boot animations QMG files anyone?

Dear All,
I just bought a 32gb i9300 originally on swisscom (no restrictions) . The most annoying thing is the boot and shutdown animations and sounds. I tried available options on my phone but most of them are bootanimation.zip file where my phone being stock uses qmg files. installed one available from one of the threads but now the startup is messed (see attachements).
the one was downloaded from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1984035
Is there any brother out there who can provide me with 100% original boot qmg files? i.e.bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg with original boot and shutdown sounds since the ones installed are of an annoying lady singing lalalala???
I will be grateful...
Thanks

Boot qmg only .

Try Perkas file stash for the others or extract from a stock rom .
Boot zip only work with modified rom or kernel .

stock boot animation and manual debloat
I don't remember where I got my qmg files but I attached them to this post.they work. there are only two files bootsamsungloop.qmg and bootsamsung.qmg.. I followed the instructions given but they failed to instruct me to open the files with a script executor. these are the steps that worked for me.
1. copy files to sdcard. I used internal or phone.
2. using a file explorer , I used root explorer mount system/media r/w then delete bootsamsung.qmg ,. bootsamsungloop.qmg and also delete the file in the video folder called shutdown.qmg.
3 go back to sdcard and copy the two files bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg paste both files to directory system/media.
4. change permissions to rw-r--r-- for both files, change ownership to 0-root for both files also I changed the group to1023
-media-rw you might also be able to change group to 0-root not sure if that would work though.
5.finally I opened each file with Linux script handler and executed both,
6, reboot and watched the stock animation boot . I don't remember there being any shutdown animation on the unbranded rom.
I couldn't flash this through odin and I don't use custom recoveries or kernels . It took me about two days to figure out how to get back to stock animation..
also I found this link very useful to manually debloat my GT-I9300, https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AqTvctlW89DtdC1qVUlLeVFTV3ZOdUtDclpBdVRQOUE&pli=1#gid=0 . have fun! EDIT UNABLE TO UPLOAD QMG FILES. first try it said server busy second try it said invalid files. maybe because qmg is not listed under valid file extensions. sorry for that.

[Boot Animation] [TW] [SAMSUNG] Change Boot Animation and Sound

Hi, Many of you curious about changing boot animation in samsung mobile. You know samsung uses qmg like boot animations. So it is complex to create own boot animation than creating zip boot animation.In this tutorial I have replaced the qmg files with zip boot animations.
I have tested on my Samsung Galaxy Core Prime. It should work on any Samsung Kitkat Variants mobile. Please test and report here.
Please make a NANDROID BACKUP before modifying the system files
For that just download the files from here and place it right folder and set the PERMISSIONS.
1. Place this file in system/bin folder and set the permission -rwxr-xr-x (See other files permissions system/bin folder)
Please note it disables qmg boot animations and enable zip boot animations.
[[ https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3-NCstEO255cVM1b0xpejd3Nmc/view?usp=docslist_api ]]
2. Download the bootanimation.zip and place it system/media folder and set the permission -rw-r--r-- (see other files permissions in system/media folder)
[[ https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3-NCstEO255VktzQU9MTGlSRVU/view?usp=docslist_api ]]
Or you can download any custom zip boot animations. Just google and download and place them in right place
3. To change boot sound just create a ogg file naming PowerOn.ogg (don't much than 20s) and place it in system/media/audio/ui and set permissions -rw-r--r-- (see other files' permission in the same folder)
To disable boot sound rename the PowerOn.ogg file as you wish like PowerOn.ogg.bak
Here the screen shots for the permissions

Pls note. In samsung zip animations are not supported. They are placed in system/media in the name of samsungboot.qmg blah blah. If you want to replaced the qmg bootanimation with zip bootanimation you have to read the whole the thread pls. Again. I am busy in studies now. So I can not make a video for you. Anyway In this thread just change your bootanimation with custom zip animation.
If you want to change bootanimation (qmg format) (mine trick is zip bootanimation on samsung device which is easy to create). Follow this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2611682
Hope u understand qmg & zip like bootanimations

.QMG to .ZIP Boot Animation

I. Introduction:
This tutorial changes the .qmg boot animation format to .zip format. This allows you to use much more bootanimation design you want. Android uses a binary called bootanimation to run the bootanimations, and it is situated inside the system/bin folder, Samsung has modified this binary in order to get it working with .qmg files.
This has been tested on most Lollipop Samsung Devices
III. Requirements:
- Custom Recovery
- Nandroid Backup
- Rooted Device
III. Installation:
1. Download the attached file.
2. Download any desired bootanimation then flash it (if flashable) or push it manually in system/media (set permission to rw-r--r-- or 0644)
3. Flash the attached file via custom recovery.
4. Reboot
Check this XDA Thread for bootanimation collections:
Animations by KachowPow
Animations by motomotomotoG
IV: FAQs
Q: I want to restore the old QMG Format!
A: Flash StockBootanimationRestorer.zip inside the /vr-theme folder inside your sd card.
Q: I got bootloop'ed!
A: Restore your system nandroid backup or flash StockBootanimationRestorer.zip inside the /vr-theme folder.
Q: I got no bootanimation showing up!
A: Did you set bootanimation.zip's permission right?

[Boot Animation] Droid Razr M boot animation for the Galaxy Core Prime

I've successfully created a QMG version of the Droid Razr M's boot animation using Samsung Theme Designer. It runs smoothly and doesn't lag. I'd like to thank XDA member @Nonta72 for creating a guide on how to convert zip files to qmg for noobs like me
***Requirements***
Backup of your stock boot animations just in case the new one doesn't work
Rooted device
File Explorer (Make sure that you've given it proper root permissions)
***Instructions***
Step 1: Download the attached zip below and extract it to your SD card (or your device storage).
Step 2: Go to your file explorer app and navigate to /system/media, scroll down and you should see three QMG files: bootsamsung.qmg, bootsamsungloop.qmg, and shutdown.qmg. Delete them after you've backed them up.
Step 3: In your file explorer app copy both of the extracted bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg files from your SD card/device storage and then navigate to /system/media. Paste both of these files in this location. Warning! Your phone will boot loop if you don't use the bootsamsungloop.qmg file!
Step 4: While in the file explorer go back to your SD card/device storage and copy the PowerOn.ogg sound file. Put this in /system/media/audio/ui.
Step 5: Reboot your phone. The Droid Razr boot animation should play as normal. If it doesn't check to make sure that you've followed the above instructions and try again, and post here if you need help with anything.

Here's the stock animation. Which version of the Galaxy Core Prime do you have? Did you delete the old qmg files before you put the new qmg files in /system/media?
