Since Samsung has decided to be non standard and not use a simple bootanimation.zip and instead use their qmg files I have no clue how to change my boot animation. I really just want the stock animation from the Nexus, not a fan of the Samsung one and figured since I am rooted etc. might as well use the Nexus one. No clue if anyone here can actually make them either, just figured I would ask.
Guess it's not possible, too bad, but oh well.
Check here
This is what I used
Oh, nice! I figured it was impossible since Samsung likes to be dumb about certain things.
I was a little confused with his instructions as first but finally got it.
This is exactly what I did step by step:
Navigate to system/media & deleted both bootsamsungloop.qmg and bootsamsung.qmg. and while still in the system/media folder paste the Nexus bootanimation zip here
Next I navigated to system/bin and deleted samsungani and while still in system/bin I renamed bootanimation to samsungani.
Now I did all of this to a ROM zip using 7zip because I prefer it this way but either way will work fine

Oh and if you want to get rid of the bootup and power off sounds navigate to system/media/audio/ui and delete the PowerOn.ogg and PowerOff.ogg files. There are four folders in here as well: BST, SPR,VMU & XAS and each of them contain a PowerOn.ogg file. I deleted the one in the SPR folder which removed the sound but since your on Verizon I'm not sure which one you should delete.
ThIs works on the stock/rooted ROM, but it doesnt work with beans ROM for some reason.
Oh good I couldn't get this to work on beans either I thought it was me lol

LOL, it's not just you.
I had a flaming skull boot ani that worked perfect until I flashed beans ROM.
Then it stopped and ABSOLUTELY NOTHING I tried would get it working again so I finally gave up.
I'm on bean's ROM and got it working just fine, now have the stock Nexus boot animation.

Did you do anything different than what it says here??
I ask because i follwed these instructions back when i did the root66 thing and it worked perfectly, when I tried the same thing with beans I could never get it to work.
Edit: NVM, I went back and tried all the steps again and now it works just fine.
I must have forgotten one step the second time, although I was almost positive I didn't.

Removing them doesn't hurt a thing (except that you have to reflash if you want to restore them), but there is no advantage whatever to doing that.

I finally figured out everything with a bit of time and patience. Going through a lot of photos and finding the ones that I needed to change. All I did was upload the .apk to my dropbox, download it onto my PC, rename it; framework-res.apk.zip, allowing my to open and explore the file freely. After gathering the photos that I needed, I extracted them, edited them and then placed the edited photos back where I got them from, over-writing the old ones. I then took out the .zip extension and re-uploaded the file to dropbox and downloaded it onto my phone.
This is just a quick and easy way to download and set your bootanimation. I didn't make these so credits go to them I just created the video and links to some of the better threads here on XDA. Some are Galaxy Nexus animations but look quite good on the Transformer.
Option#2 Thanks to Lock-N-Load
INSTEAD of putting it in /system/media/ and deleting and/or backing up your old bootanimation as talked about, just put your new one into /data/local/ and presto.... done. No delete, no backup and when your done with it just delete yours from that location and the stock bootanimation kicks back in as /data/local just overrides the stock location of /system/media/ much easier, faster and less effort and no chance of ooops

There are already at least 5 threads going with boot animations in them just FWIW
noob question alert
Hi ppls, sorry in advance for my noobishness...
I'm just looking for one small straight answer about loading boot animations:
Do you have to root a Transformer Prime with ICS to replace the boot animation in either location? I was under the impression that the data/local/ folder didn't require rooting - am I incorrect in this assumption? I just keep getting 'permission denied' messages when attempting to alter the data folder... if it is possible can someone tell me what the heck I am doing wrong??
To stop you all foaming at the mouth at my obviously stupid noobish question, here's a Portal/Aperture Science PC retro boot animation I made for myself based off the ascii art in the credits of Portal 1:

For GB, i can easily use the app, SGS2-Boot logo to change the boot logo, but after I upgarded to ICS, it didn't work any more.....every time i boot on my phone, the screen shows ''no logo.jpg'' found....and then go to the boot animation....
thx in advance...!
I do search the forum....but only applicable to GB rom....
Are you on stock rom or using a modded one?
You will need to root your phone and follow these steps:
1. Get a boot animation and make sure it's zip name is: bootanimation.zip and put it on your phone memory.
2. Put it (with a Root Explorer) ChangeMount R/W to R/O then Copy the bootanimation.zip to /system/media
3. reboot and enjoy the "new" bootanimation
Change by root
What if I'm only trying to change/remove the first splash screen (usually the one that comes with carrier logo) and leave the boot animation alone.
Next Question
Thanks Cyberboob,
It worked.
Now how can I change the "reboot"/"turn off" animation as well?
Cheers
where put down animation?
Do you mean bootanimation?
Make a backup of the original Bootanimation located on the path /system/media the file it's called bootanimation.zip
Download the animation that you want, on the Mirrors Index we can have some animations made by the users of RR.
Rename the file that you download to bootanimation.zip (in case that the name be different)
Copy the bootanimation.zip to your SD card
Copy the file to the path /system/media, this process need to be made with some file explorer that let you change the permissions from 'Read Only' to 'Read and Write', personally i'm always working with Root Explorer (paid) but if you want, you can use ES File Explorer (free)
Replace the original bootanimation.zip with the one that you download
Reboot and enjoy
Of course, root is needed. It's a bit complicated for noobs. Good Luck.

Are you rooted? What file manager do you use? This is how I put this in place.
I use ES File Explorer on my S5 as file explorer. I placed the attached file (after extracted, the file is mixer_paths.xml) in my Download folder. I then copied the file with ES File Explorer and navigated to the folder /system/etc. I then renamed the existing mixer_paths.xml to mixer_paths.xml.bak (just to have a backup of the original so i could revert back if i wanted to) and copied the new file into that folder. i then verified the properties were correct (rw- r-- r--) and then rebooted the phone. test it out by playing a song before replacing the file and then test again after the file is replaced and phone is rebooted.

Ok if you don't mind telling me EXACTLY step by step what you did. Be precise, I don't mind reading. The more info the better! I had the same issue when I was making my bootanimation for this but it was because I built my animation wrong. Also did you happen to save the original bootanimations?
This ^^^^And/or also, did you delete the Power on/ Power off folders and/or sounds?
RE:
I deleted the system/media bootanimation.zip and bootanimation_sprint.zip as well as the shutdownanimation.zip and shutdownanimation_sprint.zip. Relplaced them both with several different files (at different times, obviously) to make sure it wasn't a problem with just the boot animation I was trying to use. Deleted the power on and off folders from carrier/cust. I did not delete the sounds. I do have another G3 that worse comes to worst, I will root and copy the entire folders and replace them on my g3. Should I delete the sound folders as well? Thanks

Just to cover all bases - did you change permissions? Sorry if it was implied but I don't want to assume anything. Don't delete the sounds, just leave them be because they wont interfere with the bootani. Did you flat out delete the originals without making a backup? Since you tried different bootanis it sounds like its a permission issue but if you did that properly as well I'm not sure. When I messed up my first bootani, I put the originals back, fixed permissions and it booted up with the sprint spark animation again......

Yes i deleted them, foolishly. My permissions are set to "rw--r--r--T", My files are .zip format, i notice some people said extract them, but doesnt that defeat the purpose of the .zip name?
Sorry I'm very new to LG phones after dealing with Samsung so long. I also tried to use rom toolbox to change the boot ani to one of their gallery ones to no avail.
Is there anyway you could copy the entire folder and send it to me as well as the power on/ power off folders?
I dont know of anyway else to fix this

Again just to be sure does it say "644" when you change permissions? What you wrote "rw--r--r--T" Should be "-rw-r--r--T". The "T" isn't truly necessary but if you do select the T it would say 1644. Either 644 or 1644 should work.
I have a backup of the original bootanimations somewhere but my folders have all been altered. As for extracting them.....it has to be a .zip file. bootanimation.zip and bootanimation_sprint.zip. Extracted them would give you folders and a text file but your system only knows to use those two zip files in that exact location with those exact permissions as bootanimations. Also, exactly what bootanimations did you use?

Along with that can you post a screenshot here of those files in your file explorer?

I have read this whole thread, and I am still unable to switch mine. I tried everything mentioned. I also have the Sprint G3, and I am using Root Browser. When I try to change the permissions, it tells me it fails to do so, as some devices won't allow you to change permissions. Help?!?

Root browser won't let you change permissions? You either need to update supersu or more likely, try a different browser/file Explorer. I use solid explorer which has a free 14 day trial. Es is free though, try that.
