I hear a lot of people wanting to put certain shutdown animations on their phone. Maybe you like the one from Bionix 1.3.1 or the one from Sweethoney series of ROMs. Well, I decided to make detailed instructions on how to put any shutdown animation on your phone you would like.
I used the TV shutdown animation and audio on mine, but I imagine this would work for taking any shutdown animation you want from any ROM and making it your own.
You can get the TV shutdown screen on any ROM...you just use your computer to open the ROM.zip (generic name could be any ROM.zip).
1. Go to "system/media" folder and find the "/video" folder and take it from any ROM that has the TV shutoffx (I think Sweethoney 2.5 has it.)
2. Copy the entire "/video" folder to your desktop.
3. Now connect your phone via USB and copy the "/video" folder to your phone memory. Not your external sd card but your phones internal memory (I made a folder on my phone called "RomsKernelsFixes" for such files) Now disconnect your phone.
4. Use RootExplorer (found in Market) and go to the file on your phone (the "/video" folder) you copied from your computer. Long press the "/video" folder. Then chose "copy".
5. Now go to the "system/media" folder on your phone. Its in the first menu on RootExplorer. Paste the "/video" folder into the "system/media" folder (you may have to click the "enable R/W" button at the top).
6. Now reboot! You should have the TV shutoff animation.
Now for the audio. Same method. Start in the extracted ROM.zip This time the file is in the "system/media/audio/ui" folder. Its called "shutdown.ogg" I believe. Copy this file to your desktop and use the same method above for the "/video" file. But this time you paste "shutdown.ogg" to the "system/media/audio/ui" folder. Viola! Reboot. (you may have to delete the old "shutdown.ogg" first)
You now have the TV shutoff video and audio.
I may be incorrect about which ROM has it. But whichever does...that is how you go about taking it and putting it in any ROM you want.
Hope this helps someone.

How To: Change Boot Animation
First: You need a Custom Rom Installed
Install winrar
Root your droid! (obviously?) If you need to root, download 'Universal Androot'
using a Root explorer goto the /system/media directory.
Copy bootanimation.zip to your SD Card.
Connect your droid to your computer with usb and mount the SD Card
Copy bootanimation.zip to your computer.
extract bootanimation.zip to a folder
Inside you will find 2 folders with all the individual PNG files in them.
With photoshop or paint modify the png files to add your custom graphics, OR make/download your own pictures. (Make sure they are 240x320)
Highlight the two folders and the desc file.
Right click the highlighted files.
Select add files to archive.
Select Zip check box
In the compression method drop down box select Store. (this is key if you dont do this it wont play the animation)
save the archive as bootanimation.zip
copy the new bootanimation.zip to your SD Card
Select the bootanimation.zip file from your SD Card and move it... system>media>paste
REMEMBER: Re-name the default bootloader 'bootloaderold.zip' and the new one 'bootloader.zip' This will stop confusion
Any Questions? Just ask!

Sorry! Forgot to mention: you need to have a custom ROM installed. Ill link that up later
Sent from my GT-I5500 using XDA App
so i made this boot animation and for some reason it doesn't seem to be working correctly. i attached it, some tips on how to fix it would be really appreciated. once fixed ill release new versions of it for whoever wants it.
Make sure the animation folders are at the root of the zip...you have another folder called bootanimation in it. Also make sure you zip it in 7zip using a noncompressed method.
Sent from my ATRIX 4G.
Fixed that for ya!

When you use 7-Zip you should always zip your files by doing the following:
1. Select all files to be zipped.
2. Right click on selected files.
3. Select 7-Zip from drop down, then Add To Archive.
4. Set Archive format to zip.
5. Set Compression Level to store.
6. Name the archive properly, i.e. bootanimation.
7. Click OK to create the zip file.
Hello everyone
So lets get to the point.
I actually want to know of a kernal with which i will be able to change bootscreen. Ofcourse i could have found myself but there are sooooooo many kernals to test.... Its almost impossible to find one. I currently use siyah. So if anyone knows please tell me.
No kernel supports bootanimation,you have to do a small edit to rom level to get it to go..

Ok i like messing with complex things. So, what file do i need to edit?
First of all serves:
- A sd card ( to save the file)
- the files of the boot animation taken from another rom or firmware ( to put in our sd before you put it in cellular!)
- root permissions
- a file manager (type solid explorer , astro file manager etc..)
If you have done all of this then we begin opening our file manager: By 'phone' go to 'SYSTEM' and Entered in the folder 'SYSTEM' we go to the subfolder called 'MEDIA' ! In Here we will find or 2 file format called QMG bootsamsung. and QMG and bootsamsungloop. QMG , or a zip file called boot animation.zip ! Then copy the files and paste them from your phone to 'SD' . So in case we have problems conversely from there. For this to mean we go back to system and go in the folder SD CARD. in the 'SD' we stick on files ( or by creating a folder or we may put them where we want! Glued the files back to system , always in the folder " MEDIA" and we are cancelling the two original files.
In this , we return back to the sd card, leaving system and copy the two files that we have brought in sd and that we would like to put as the boot animation . Copied the files and go system / MEDIA and here paste the file! Now by clicking on file , there will be a menu' , just go to 'PERMISSION OR PERMITS ' and put the checkmark on READ WRITE-READ- READ ! And restart your mobile phone.

Ok thanks i did as you said but there is no change. The mod contains only bootanimation.zip. Please tell me a way. Here is mod forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1734434
The bootanimation is composed of two files: a .zip file that is located in system/media called its own bootanimation.zip (that and the video) and a .ogg files that is located in system/etc called PowerOn.ogg (the audio part)
Link :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1734434
Link :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21749971&postcount=5
P.S. Dates even a glance at google,there are many! Small piece of advice: if you read that they recommend to flash the bootanimation does not go ahead.If you follow my guide to the letter you'll never problems!
Installation procedure :
- Download the bootanimation
- if the package that you download and flash then from pc pull the archive and look for the system folder/media. Inside you will find the file bootanimation.zip , grabing it(without extracting the content) on the desktop and then copy it into the sd's internal phone.
- Always if the package is from flash, from the pc pull the archive and look for the folder system/etc and copied the file PowerOn. Ogg in sd's internal phone(in some bootanimation the sound file there is! It makes no difference)
- once you have copied these two files we have to enter with the rootexplorer in the system folder/media, rename the existing file to bootanimation.zip in bootanimation.zip.old (thus the store)and copy our new file being careful that it is appointed as well, i.e. bootanimation.zip
- if we also file PowerOn. Ogg then always with root explorer we enter in system/etc rinominiamo the existing file in PowerOn.ogg.old and copy our new file always careful that it is spelled correctly, i.e.: PowerOn. Ogg
- if we have not the audio files but what we have we don't like it then to delete just rename the file to .old -once copied files, reboot the phone, and enjoy our new bootanimation....

THanks for links.
I did as you said that is,
renamed bootanimation.zip in system/media to bootanimation.zip.old (in internal phone).
Then i put modified bootanimation.zip after extracting it from the archive i downloaded and put it into phone in system/media.
Restarted phone.... no affects! no change! its default!

if you want to put other bootanimation cel.dovete edit the info file inside the zip file.
estarete folder bootanimation
usually you will find two files
part0 folder (containing pgn files or jpg)
and the configuration file named desc
This latter open it with Notepad
you will like this:
720 1280 24
p 1 0 part0
The first line corresponds to the size with the frames per second
The second line:
P corresponds to a new command
1 corresponds to the number of how many times you want to see your bootanimation (on gs3 if you set 0, is in a continuous loop)
the next number would be zero, specifies how many frames to wait before moving on to the next command
maybe if you have different caretlle
ie part0
part1

That's what i am exactly thinking. Does omega 12 supports boot animation change? Although there is a boot animation option in kitchen but it's only for restoring original boot animation. Please help me.
*BUMP*
Anyone?
im same with you, im use omega v24 galaxy s3, can't change bootanimation,as i know because in system/media, if format for file support bootanimation is .qmg ur phone cann't support bootanimation in .zip file.

Wrong wrong wrong stock Samsung boot files are QMG format always .
They have no bearing upon a custom boot animation .
Custom boot animation is in a ZIP file and requires a kernel capable of running custom boot zip .
jje
DISCLAIMER: This requires root. If you dont have root, root your phone.
WARNING: This CAN damage your phone. Im not taking any resposibility if your phone gets bricked or if it breaks.
1. Download a root explorer like ES File Explorer.
(Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop)
2. Download your bootanimation from the internet (!Look for the right resolution!).
3. The file name of the bootanimation is always bootanimation.zip.
4. The directory of where the bootanimation.zip file is located, is always different, here is a list of some directorys:
/-system-media-bootanimation.zip
/-product-etc-media-bootanimation.zip
/-cust-preinstalled-public-media-bootanimation.zip
5. If you´ve found your bootanimation.zip (the original one) rename it to bootanimation.zip.bak
(basically a backup of your current bootanimation if you want to revert changes)
6. Now take the bootanimation you´ve just downloaded and copy it to the directory.
7. Change its permissions to: rw-r-r .
8. Now reboot your phone and see if it worked.
If you have any struggle doing this, feel free to ask.
