This is an offshoot from my S3 days. The mod will enable you to use any zip bootanimation. KK version worked on my T700. Just had to change permissions on my fave bootanimation (attached, blue particle) to that of the rest on /system/media. It may also work on other variants as the OP says "should in theory work on all other samsung android devices"

Anyone who has installed the recently released Jelly Bean update will have noticed that the Xperia logo is now static.
I was annoyed at having to watch two static images on boot, so I took the images from the older firmware and made a replacement introductory animation.
I've made a preview so you can decide if you want it without having to go through the trouble of installing it, see the attached image below.
The only image that has been modified is the one in the generic1 folder; everything else has been left as-is. All pngs have been compressed using Ken Silverman's PNGOUT utility.
This is packaged in a CWM-compatible format, so manually installing it requires extracting bootanimation.zip from it first.
Since this is merely a boot animation, non-JB users can install it with no issues.

Ken Silverman for his highly-efficient PNGOUT tool.
TGRMN Software for their awesome bulk rename utility.
stifilz for uploading the stock Xperia Tablet S boot animation.
eddrowe for uploading the stock Xperia T boot animation.
Rhamon's for requesting the Xperia P versions.
miunkwn for requesting the Xperia sola/U versions and providing me with the files I requested.
Edit (9/5/13):
I attempted to eliminate the brief blank screen between the Sony logo vanishing and the boot animation actually starting as well, but was unable to - it actually ended up looking even worse since there's apparently no way to prevent that (should really have checked that first before going through the trouble of extracting kernel.sin-ramdisk/logo.rle, but oh well). :/
Update (15/5/13):
I've made two additional variants that alternate between differing boot animations in each cycle. See the attached images below for the previews. They are shown in the following order:
smooth intro + stock JB animation | smooth intro + alternating stock JB & Xperia Tablet S Cosmic Flow animations | smooth intro + alternating stock JB & Xperia T Cosmic Flow animations
Personally, I prefer the variant with the Xperia T's Cosmic Flow animation - those glowing particle effects really do make it look cooler. Unfortunately, it's also the largest set, weighing in at a hefty 4.10 MB.
Update (16/5/13):
At Rhamon's request, I've made versions for the Xperia P. I'm not adding new previews for them though since they're basically the exact same sequences, just in larger scale for the P's bigger screen. Look for the zip archives suffixed with _p for the versions targeted at the Xperia P (e.g. smooth_intro_bootanim_jbxts_p.zip). As with those for the go, these are packaged in CWM-compatible formats, so manual installation requires extracting bootanimation.zip from them first.
Update (20/5/13):
I've also made versions for the Xperia sola and Xperia U at miunkwn's request. As with those for the go and P, these are packaged in CWM-compatible formats, so manual installation requires extracting bootanimation.zip from them first. Look for the zip archives suffixed with _sola_u for the versions targeted at the Xperia sola and Xperia U (e.g. smooth_intro_bootanim_jbxts_sola_u.zip).
Minor Update (22/5/13):
It turns out that my little script had a bug where it was automatically zipaligning bootanimation.zip, it bloats the archives and doesn't really provide any benefit whatsoever (even the stock firmwares' own bootanimation.zip archives are unaligned). For those who have already installed this boot animation, please re-download and re-install them again.
I also took the opportunity to fix the CWM package filenames on the alternating variants for the Xperia go so they now correctly read _jbxts.zip and _jbxt.zip (previously _xtsjb.zip and _xtjb.zip respectively; merely a cosmetic change with no impact).
Added two variants with alternating animations; bumped for update visibility (was on page 5).
So awesome! Can you make it for Xperia P screen please?
Sure, but I'll need you to upload the bootanimation.zip from the P's GB/ICS firmware (not JB - I already have that one) so I can generate the smoothed intro from those - unless you don't want that, that is. The Xperia go ones would probably look minuscule on that massive screen, plus upscaling looks terribad in general. Since I already have the stock JB bootanimation.zip for the P, I'll start working on the looping sequence first. Disregard, see edits below.
Edit:
Since the Xperia T's boot animation frames are exactly the same size as the P's, I'll simply keep them as-is (i.e. I'll leave them untouched as .jpg files) and merely do renames to keep them in order.
The Xperia Tablet S' boot animation, on the other hand, needs to be resized, so I'll convert everything into .png files to preserve them and prevent further quality degradation (JPEG compression discards data with each compression pass, so I was pretty dismayed when I noticed that Sony used it in its newer boot animations :/ ).
Edit 2:
Okay, I've got the stock bootanimation.zip from the P's GB firmware, will work on the smooth introductory sequence.
forget about it then
Hmm, that's odd since my script only alters the permissions of the bootanimation.zip alone and nothing else. Possibly coincidence?
I've Downloaded the XT boot animation for P and it Works great!
Thanks!
It's good to hear that it's working fine for you and that you like it, that means my little idea of mixing the animations is working out pretty well.

thx. nice one. but i have a problem here. my livewallpaper would not save after flashing xtsjb and xtjb bootanimation. there was no such problem when i flash the smooth stock bootanimation. any idea?

Do not quote the op
Kindly edit the post as it makes the post unnecessarily longer
Thank You
Can you make one for Xperia U?
I'll need you to upload the stock bootanimation.zip from the U's GB/ICS firmware and its JB firmware so I can make a complete version for it (although I already have larger ones from the P's boot animations, I try to avoid scaling images and stick with the pristine ones for maximum quality).
Edit:
Whoops, brainfart - just remembered that the Xperia U and sola phones don't have official JB firmwares, so I'll generate resized versions from the P's boot animation. Now I'll only need you to upload the GB/ICS one.
I have got a Xperia Z bootanimation for Xperia U, the alternating boot animation seems better.
It will be fine if you can make a good quality bootanimation like Xperia T, if it is easier than making alternating. Will PM you the link
Added Xperia sola and Xperia U versions; bumped for update visibility (was on page 2).
Thanks a lot for making a bootanimation as I requested. Looking nice.
Working perfectly on Xperia Go Stock JB 6.2.A.1.100
Excellent :laugh: thanks! :good:
Awesome thanks :laugh: :good:
So I stumbled across this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ide-xperia-z-lockscreen-hdpi-devices-t2189923 and noticed we did not have anything like this for Samsung Galaxy Star. I have successfully ported this to our device. The only rom that I have tested this on is JB Stock Deodex. It probably wont work on other roms.
NOTES FROM ORIGINAL THREAD
This modified android.policy.jar. So please do not try it on other phone models.*If you have other mods in your android.policy.jar, this mod will break it.
*This mod doesn't gives you toggle between Samsung Circle lockscreen and Xperia Z lockscreen. You will get only Xperia Z lockscreen.If you do not know how Xperia Z lockscreen looks like, watch this video prepared by MohammedAzi (included a guide to change lockscreen wallpaper) :*YOUTUBE*Thank you MohamedAzi.
Bugs1) Upon unlocking, Samsung lockscreen's wallpaper is still visible for about 0.3-0.5 second. Solution by JoFury: set fully black wallpaper for samsung lockscreen. Then go to settings - developers option and set windows animation to 0.5 or off. Thanks JoFury.
2) The music control/widget in lockscreen doesn't works with Samsung music player. Install third party apps as workaround.*
3) The music control/widget always show "No Tracks Available". Maybe installing Sony music player would solve it.
4) No shortcut to change Xperia Z lockscreen wallpaper. Workaround:*Solution by RocketSauce83Replace the UxpNxtLockscreen.apk with this version :*http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=39354512Thanks RocketSauce83Solution by Hyperrunner :*http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=38960185Thanks Hyperrunner*

Looking forward to it.

Thanks looks really nice I used the axon 7 one.
Question. Does a regular flashable zip for a bootloader animaanimation with MiFavor? Or are they only meant for stock android? Thanks
Any news on that star wars animation?
With DrakenFX approval, I found a way to manipulate his files and insert any video segment desired. If he wants to keep this to himself, he is more than welcome to. But if he approves of it, I can take segments of videos to make boot animations
Well, once I have looked for bootlogos for my device (A5 2016) and just found bootlogo with bad quality. Even the "stock bootlogo" available here had bad quality. So I worked for bringing it by myself and have found the Black bootlogo backup by my own device. It was stored on my internal storage. I made a flashable zip for it and also made the white version from it. I hope you like it.
I have also put in this post the bootanimation, but this (bootanimation) is taken from Advanced Ruby thread, so, thanks to @DasNuddel for it.
