[Q] 4.2.2 boot animation - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello,
I was wondering I have a .gif file id like to use as a boot animation. im running 4.2.2 and its differnt than 4.1.2 so does anyone know a program or something I can use to convert?

Samsung roms use .qmg files. Aosp use zip files.
There are threads on xda with the requirements for both that advise which applications you coukd use. Have you read these threads yet?

Adding a new boot animation

I know on other phones it is a simple bootanimation.zip copy and paste, but the vibrant doesnt use that format. So what files do i need to replace?
Thank you

Need a little more info.
Are you stock (non)rooted?
Are you on a custom rom?
Most of the,if not all, custom roms accept bootanimation.zip. There are tons of them in the theme section. Also a tutorial or two as well on making them.

Actually the vibrant does support that...its just that the kernel must support it....its basically supported on all custom ROMs/kernels....not so sure of stock ROMs though...what ROM are you using?
Im on the 2.2.1 Rom just released i am on tapatalk so i cant recall the spelling.
I checked in system/media i couldn't find it. I found bootanimation but no zip.

I think you have to be on a custom ROM to utilize the 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

Thanks...i will try it!

Changing Boot Animation with Stock ICS

I have a rooted galaxy tab 10.1 wifi using stock ics and the A1 kernel v2.1, is their a way to change the boot animation? I've tried installing it to /data/local/ with no luck and even tried /system/media/ but nothing worked. Can anybody help? Thanks in advance!

Its not that easy some times. The system that handles the bootanim is stock and there for not easy at all to change. Its some strange file standard. If you look in the system/media you find some files related to bootanim the file ending is sonething like qmd. You can google on that and try to mod it.
The easy way is to wait for some poor rom cook to change system.

I did a search on what you said and came across this link:
Code:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/15962-ei2romodincwmtweakstock-v14-updated-2712/
. If you checkout the changelog, it says that it changes the /system/media/ directory to where you can just name it a certain thing and it'll work and for this, all you have to do is flash it using CWM recovery. What do you think about this? Do you think it's safe?

Hi
No that rom is for an other unit. Its important to not flach wrong rom.
It need to be supported by the kernel. The creator of kernel A1 knows about this problem with bootanim. And its a hard to fix.

There's no need to flash another ROM,and any ROM contains it's kernel in it's own package,you can go to this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709693
Here you'll see some bootanimations made for gtab 10.1...
Note that flashing these packages doesn't harm you device but may cause issues if they're not made for your version,for example cm9 went into a bootloop or didn't show the bootanimation when I flashed a bootanim...

Q: Problems with custom bootanimations

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

[Q] Stock Boot Animations?

Does anyone know where i could find the Stock Boot Animations for the different carriers and the generic Samsung one from the international Note 2?
I am looking for the ones in bootanimation.zip format for a deodex ROM.
Also, is there any way to get sound working on custom animations?
Thanks for any help.
Anyone?

Look in the full stock ROMs for those different phones and pull the boot animations out.

The Boot Animations from the stock RoMs are in the stock format, not flashable .zip. I do not know how to convert them.
