okay so of course many threads/posts about custom boot animations...and i have looked around to solve this issue but not one answer.
(this is for lg optimus)
i can install custom boot animations (from xda and google) and i push them to any of the following /data/local , /system/media , /customize/resource...etc..and they work just fine..
however when i do my own boot animation i must be missing something....have checked and rechecked my files, using 7zip (store), etc..and just a blank screen..i have even broken down other bootanimation files (that work) and still wont work lol..i have attached file..maybe someone can explain or see what i am missing. im guessing its the littlest thing im missing.
thanks.
btw..i have even tried installing with using root explorer etc..so ive narrowed it down to something with one of my files or how its being zipped.

Hello,
What i am looking for is the Stock Bootanimation.zip file that comes with fascinate. What i wanna do is get the PNG files that make up the verizon boot logo. I want to take this and use it to make a boot animation for a diff device.
All i have is the bootanimation.qmg but i have searched and have not been able to find a way to get the images out fo htat compressed format.
Thanks for all your assistance in advance.
The stock boot animation isn't a zip file, it's a .qmg file...
stock kernels for fascinate don't support bootanimation.zip files. The .qmg is a proprietary format chosen by Samsung (shock!) and developed for them by the QURAM Corp. However, many custom roms DO support bootanimation.zip startup logos. (SuperClean 2.92 is a superb example)
The shutdown sequence however, is in .png format, although it also comes with a .cfg configuration file. Its located in /system/media/video/shutdown
Hope this helps.
Any way to get that boot animation? When I rooted my gf's fascinate, it replaced the verizon one with the default "android" in landscape mode.
Little off topic but similiar (not trying to hijack post), can you get the orignal backgound back after changing it to something else? It's not listed in the wallpaper choices.
I'm not sure specifically, but it seems that it depends on the kernel you have if you can install custom boot animations, since the Fascinate (and probably other Galaxy phones) don't really have the .zip support (i'm guess on what i've read).
I'm sure someone will correct me, lol

Are you referring to the background that looked like water? I believe it's been replaced by a different water one and that one is listed under live wallpapers.

No the rock formation background/wallpaper when you first bootup after installing 2.0.
Not that I mind too terribly much but when I installed dmesg and ran it I lost my boot animation all together. Fun.
I'm rooted on 4.1.57 running GreyBlur 2.1 or whatever the newest is. I used root explorer and made sure there is a bootanimation.zip file where it belongs. Tried manually adding different boot animation zips via rootexplorer. Nada.
Am I missing something?
You can try this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1042736, but I don't really know if it will work or not. It is a theme removal app which will also allow you to attempt to reset your boot animation to stock. Has worked for me. It will only replace the bootanimation.zip but won't change any of the settings that call it., so if those are messed up then this won't help.
Just make sure you say no to the first question in the bat or else it will maul your greyblur theming.
Awesome! Ill give that a shot once I can get on a windows machine at work tomorrow. Luckily this isn't a life or death problem.

You can also download one of the fine boot animations here in the forum straight to your device and then copy it to the /system/media directory on your phone.

Hello all. I've been trying for a while to create a custom boot animation for my Evo 3d. No matter what I try I cannot get the ones I create to work. Here's what I've done so far.
I downloaded some premade ones that work just fine. I've tried replacing my images which didn't work. I've tried mimicking the desc.txt files in different ways. Tried out different combinations of folder names and splitting the animation into different parts in these folders. I've tried png files, I've tried jpegs. I have also tried several different framerates (15,18,30) to no avail.
I know I am putting the file in the correct place (/system/customize/resource/Sprint_bootanimation.zip using adb push)
I did get it to work one time however. I replaced the images in the stock boot animation (in the android folder) and my animation played and then the second half of the stock animation played afterwards. However I don't want to see the Sprint stuff.
Please help, I'm going nuts here trying to figure this out
Please see the attachment. Thanks in advance
Not really sure but have u tried .bmp
That's way you use for the splash screen

http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?180-How-to-Boot-animations-101
One thing i was having a problem with is the way i zipped it. i kept selecting zip-for best compression and it wouldn't work. then i tried selecting "let me choose compression method" and in the dropdown specified "no compression" and it worked. thats with winzip. if you are using 7-zip select compression method "store" hope that helps.
Figured it out last night forgot to update here. I found a tutorial in the general theming forum. Turns out you have to leave a blank line at the end of the desc.txt file. None of the tutorials I found on google mentioned this. After I made this change this my animation worked perfectly.
Thanks for the tips everyone.
I haven't seen anyone mention of it yet. Does anyone know how to get custom boot animations in the bootanimation.zip format working? I've already tried all posted fixes for other Samsung note devices with no success. Best I've gotten was a blank screen during boot. Any suggestions?

There a few custom bootanimation threads - I believe you need a .bin file from one of these and you should be able to use it for other .zip files...
Look for lion king bootanimation in this forum, you might need to go back a little while though....

furst make sure busybox is installed correctly on you're device.
then flash: bootanimationON
download here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxH_2Mr6REVjRnU0ME5xd3V4S2s/edit?usp=sharing
this will make a backup from you're system/bin/bootanimation and make a bootanimation.bak file
and replace with mod bootanimation file to use bootanimation.zip
this is to restore: to go back to standard qmg
download here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxH_2Mr6REVjdFlGSFF0bVVmXzA/edit?usp=sharing
you also need you're bootanimation.zip you want to use
this zip needs to be placed in system/media.
"AFTER" you put this bootanimation.zip in system/media "THEN" flash bootanimationON
works 100.1% sure
enjoy
Ill give it a shot later. I tried the files for the note 3 without success.
Update- thanks for the file. Works great. Custom animation worked immediately after flashing.

Hello all,
So I've been searching for a way to change the boot animation on my S3, all I was able to find were ~year old or older tutorials...
(Currently have version 4.4.2, model i747M)
Now I've got no boot animation at all, (sound is still there), and I'm just looking to get it back. (Or if possible a custom one but I'll settle for anything at this point.)
I used the following tutorial to try and change it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2063280
I believe, (based off the files used in the tutorial), that the problem may be in/with the following:
/system/bin/bootanimation (exe)
or
/system/bin/samsungani (exe)
or
/system/bin/sh (text file)
Any help would be amazing.

Hello there, @JamPro,
To restore your boot animation, check out the tutorial here.
Hey @thenookieforlife3,
I've already tried this, (and just tried it again), and sadly it didn't work.
I believe the problem may be with/in:
/system/bin/bootanimation (exe)
or
/system/bin/samsungani (exe)
or
/system/bin/sh (text file)
They were altered/used with the original tutorial that I tried.
Thank you very much for trying though
Do you have a custom rom or just rooted stock? Samsung uses qmg files for the stock and custom ones are in zip format typically.

I just have rooted stock. The tutorial I used uses .zip's, but, I think, it might have been a work around instead of using .qmg files.
Either way, I have my original bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsumgloop.qmg files, but it won't display the stock animation...
I've added some potential fixes in my original post. None of them worked for me, but anyone looking for a potential fix should give them a look.
