I'm pretty much a noob myself, but RootTools app has an option to choose a few diff boot anims. Not sure about shutdowns.
Read read and read. That's how I learned. You need to be rooted, use root explorer (an app) and just push it. Meaning of push, its cut/copy and paste.

Most all of them you flash in clockworkmod.
There is a lot of them in the bible

tru dat! you got 2 options:
- Flash in CwMRecovery
or
- Push bootanimation.zip into /system/media
Like a kernel or modem, bootanimations do not really require a flash at 100% battery or clearing of settings in CwMRecovery if you choose to flash it. Some bootanimations are not flashable and require you to push them into /system/media. Always read the OP will generally explain if it is flashable or not.
***I highly recommend you push it yourself. Its not hard at all and will allow you to be more familiar with your file system***
- just find the "bootanimation.zip" that you want
- move it to ur phone
tip* i've found i like to archive all bootanimations on my PC for future reference do so or skip this next step
- browse to /system/media/bootanimation.zip(this is your original) copy it to archive
- browse to where you put the bootanimation.zip you want and select "move"
- browse to /system/media/ and select paste
- select replace
- reboot phone and voila! now you have ur new bootanimation and you feel more comfortable moving system files around. Aren't you smart ur mom would be proud. Good luck!

check my post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1019858
its on shutdown animations.
for boot animations.
its the same method
but the bootanimation is just in the "system/media" folder...called "bootanimation.zip"
It can be taken from any ROM from the "system/media" folder and placed in your "system/media" folder on your phone and your done.
This will make more sense after you read my forementioned post.

did you remember to set permissions to rw-r--r-- before backing out? i usually have to do that when i change boot anims.

Not sure which one you are trying to get on your phone.. Some animations need to be flashed through recovery.
OK so I can't figure out how to add the boot animation and get it to work. I'm putting the unzipped sanim. Zip into the system/media folder with rim toolbox but the boot room won't run.
Any ideas?

I'm having the same issue. I don't see that file in the media folder to begin with. I didn't think you had to unzip it though.

Maybe that's my problem. I'll try it without unzipping it.
Edit: nope that wasn't it
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
If that does the trick, let me know. I just don't know what file that would be replacing since I don't see sanim.zip to begin with.

Just an fyi, custom boot animations are not possible if ur running ICS due to no source for the kernel.. If ur on GB, try searching the play store there are quite a few apps that will do all the work for you with a kernel that supports custom boot animations. hope this helps.

ok so i still am not able to get the cm9 boot animation to work. anyone have any ideas I've already tried just renaming the file and placing it into /system/media but I get nothing. I don't know what else to try.
I'm at a loss. Did a search in ES file explorer and came up with nothing. Isn't that file supposed to already exist, and you're replacing it? In my wife's phone I see it under system/media as bootanimation.zip. Can't find that either.
Edit:she does not have a Note.

Usually the boot animation is located in system/media and named samsungbootanimation.qmg by default.
Now that file is in there, along with what looks like a bootloop file(bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg) So are we naming the new file the same and adding a bak to the original for safe keeping?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
I never really tried, but if I had to go play around with it, that'd be my way of doing it. Just make sure you aren't renaming a .zip file to qmg. That will mess things up severely.
Anyone have any luck with this? Was gonna use rom toolbox. Anyone have success with that?

Just rename the zip to bootanimation.zip and place it in media folder....thats what works for me
Also delete the samsung.qmg files

I had to move the zip file into the media folder, but other than that it worked. The only issue I'm having is the animation doesn't take up the whole screen.

as far as I know... the file name is supposed to be "sanim.zip" and located in "system/media" folder
working custom boot animation on "the unofficial v1.1A2" here
here's more proof of what I'd indicated:

You're absolutely right. You don't have to rename or remove any existing files in the folder. Just place the zip in the media folder and rename sanim.zip. Good to go. Thanks for the info!

Boot animations must be placed in /system/media and the file must be named bootanimation.zip
Just copy/paste the bootanimation.zip to /system/media using ES File Explorer (make sure Root Explorer is enabled).

What boot animation are you getting on startup? Make sure you delete the existing one(if there is one).

I rename the original to OGbootanimation.zip then I copy the new on into the folder. That way I can delete the experimental file and name the original back if the experimental file won't work. It saves a few steps.
Make sure you're moving the zip file and don't extract it or use CWM on it.
Hm, is it boot animation.zip or sanim.zip?
Have you tried searching the Seraphim thread?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I927 using xda premium
Like others have said, you just need to rename the zip to bootanimation.zip and place it in your system/media folder using ES File Explorer (what I use) or Root Explorer. Then reboot and wallah.
It's never not worked for me. I'm currently running Unofficial CM9, and I replaced the Cyanogen boot with the Galaxy Nexus ICS boot animation, to keep Android tasting Vanilla...
Make sure the permissions are rw-r--r--
it whont worck by anyway man i deleted the samsung boot animation from the seraphim rom and tryed all the methods you guys sayd and still nothing now im only geting the original samsung boot sound

make sure u have the correct kernal that allows bootanimation, another is to unzip it and rezip as store, there should not be any compression with a bootanimation.zip., if u want to upload it, i will test it.
i have an 3.0.8-perf-i717uclc5-cl281649 kernel and how can i upload the bootanimation.zip so you can test it??

Has anybody made the other boot animation with the triangles from Jelly Bean yet? Just watched the video on YouTube about it. Much much better animation!

What did you use to move to the /system/media folder?
Is your file system mounted as writable?

Make sure your file system is mounted as writable. I used ES File Explorer and did all the steps, and it didn't work. So I checked the ES settings and it wasn't "Mounted as writable". Once I fixed that, and did the exact same steps, it worked. The animation looks great.

Hi. I just tried that and it didn't work either. Just moving the bootanimation.zip to the \system\media is all I need to do (besides setting the permissions)? There is no other bootanimation.zip file in the media folder. How does the phone know to use the bootanimation.zip file when booting? Thanks.
Guess this will not work on stock OCS.
Does anyone have a bootanimation that is in the default Samsung format

What rom are you on? Custom boot animation may not be supported.
Is your current boot animation the android logo? There was no other bootanimation.zip in the folder for me, until I placed the renamed JB one.
here's my complete list of steps, that produced the desired results for me on Black*STAR IV ics rom:
*dl file to PC, renamed to bootanimation.zip placed in dropbox
*extracted to external sd card from dropbox app on phone
*moved to /system/media/ folder with ES file explorer (with mounted as writable, and all root options enabled)
*set permissions using Rom Toolbox's root browser
*rebooted phone and enjoyed animation
Mine does samsung logo samsung logo, android logo, then booted up.
Permissions set in ROM toolbox. Bootanimation.zip.
Must be my ROM's animation, (the android letters) needs removed?
Permisions is RW-R--R--
Dear friends
Gotta bored with regular bootanimation
I have some good boot animations which I change time to time you can download them from this linkhttps://www.box.com/bootanimations
In this folder you will find some of boot animations which are having bak extension just rename them ti zip and enjoy
For newbees, the boot animation is the series of images which forms animated shape when mobile boots up
Process to change boot animation
First use root explorer or es file explorer and gain superuser permission to rw system files there go to system/media there you will see a bootanimation.zip file rename it to bootanimation.bak and paste the zip file which you have downloaded from above link
Reboot and feel the change
