Q: Problems with custom bootanimations - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, i first flash CWM_CustomBootanimation_Enable.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1897969 and then downloaded droid animation from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895327 and copied bootanimation.zip first to data/local and it did not work and then copied it to system/media but did not work either (i tested ICS and jellybean animations). I know that custom bootanimations is enabled because boot animation is different but i cant get those animations to work. Any tips or am i doing something wrong?

Anyone can help me with this?

Galaxy s3 uses a qmg format bootanimation if I'm correct. The zip files wont work on the s3. Maybe try looking for a qmg file or convert it somehow?

No, it would work if you somehow make it work, there is some boot animation in theme section which enables with ZIP file boot animation

That thread is for I9300 animations and its said there that they would work just by putting those files there and enabling boot animation via cfw so should't they be compatible?

The Boot Animation thread in Themes and Apps has custom boot animation enabler .
Just follow the instructions posted .
location is System/ Media for bootanimation.zip

if u will find it u dont need to flash it. just replace the file with root explorer or esb explorer. the file is called bootanimation.zip
firstu need to find the stock one and replace it manualy (just delete the one that is there inside and replace it with the new one) - easy thing to do. i cant help u with the stock animation cause i have moded already mine. but i hope some of the guys will post it for you soon.
Stock Boot animation is not called bootanimation zip that is a custom animation .
Stock bootanimation should still be on your phone unless you removed the two bootanimation qmg files .
Zip overrides them if you want stock back just delete boot animation zip

First you need a rom that supports changing of boot animation. If you have stock, then forget about it. You also need a root browser like Solid Explorer Beta 2, Es file explorer etc.
If you have a rom that supports it, then do following->
Download the bootanimation you want. It will be generally "bootanimation.zip".
Go to folder "System/media" and replace the "bootanimation.zip" with new one. And after that, go to properties or whatever and change its permissions to READ WRITE-READ- READ.
If you want to change sound, then its in system/etc named as "PowerOn.ogg"
Hope this helps

The given instructions are wrong .
Zip does not exist as stock .
As posted Bootanimation in themes section .
Kernel that supports boot animation ZIP files required .

S3 original boot animation + Sounds

where can i find the boot animation with the sounds because i really liked it and not so much of a big fan of jelly bams boot
Usually /system/media/bootanimation.zip and /system/media/audio/ui/poweron.ogg
But bootanimation.zip only works in AOSP ROM, but you can enable it in stock ROM, and stock RON using another format (.qmg) of boot animation which is harder to modify

Galaxy S4 CWMBoot custom Boot Animation

Had this custom boot animation for the Galaxy S4 made from JaeKar99 over at DroidRzr.com >> http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/user/35656-jaekar99/
This is all his work, I just asked for something and he made it. All credit goes to him.
Installation:
Must be rooted
Download the CWMBoot.zip attached
Unzip and extract files.
Using a root explorer, navigate to />system>media and rename bootsamsungloop.qmg and bootsamsung.qmg by placing .bak on the end.
Copy bootsamsungloop.qmg and bootsamsung.qmg that you previously extracted and place in />system>media
Reboot and enjoy your new animation.
An image of what the boot looks like is attached.
Love this!
Thanks!
Will it work on ANY ROM?

No; the CWM in the file name stands for clockworkmod recovery not cyanogenmod. If you ever used Clockworkmod recovery its the progress animation that is depicted in this boot animation.
