I. Introduction
Samsung Stock Roms use a special .qmg format for the bootanimation. This makes changing the bootanimation difficult because of less support.
Android uses a binary called bootanimation (/system/bin) to run the bootanimations, and Samsung has tweaked it to load .qmg formates. But we can tweak that binary to load the bootanimation.zip instead of bootanimation.qmg.
NOTE: You must be rooted with TWRP installed.
II. Installation guide
1] Download the proper zip according to your android version
2] Reboot your device to the recovery and install bootanimationzipsupport.zip
3] Install PACM Bootanimation.zip (This is just to test bootanimation)
4] Reboot your device
Now, once you reboot your smartphone, you will see the stock Android Bootanimation:good::fingers-crossed:
Did you get a softbrick?
The zip automatically creates a zip that allows to restore the previous bootanimation binary. Reboot to recovery and install the StockBootanimationRestorer.zip inside the /vr-theme folder in you sd card.

(Actually this will work for any device)

Yes, it should work. It will automatically create a backup of the original binary and place it in your SD Card in vrtheme folder so that you can restore it incase of any problem. Also as per my experience it will not cause a bootloop. Just a black screen will appear after bootlogo, and then it will boot.
To be in a safer side take a backup of /system.

as per the instruction to change the bootanimation I went to system/media on root browser but there is no bootanimation.zip instead there are qmg files like bootsamsung.qmg, bootsamsungloop.qmg, chargingwarning.qmg and so on. Hope some dev can help me.
Read the boot animation thread again .
Instructions tell you to put a bootanimation zip in the location its not the standard qmg boot files .
i have gone through the instructions on that forum... they asked to rename(backup) the existing bootanimation.zip file and paste the new one, set permission and reboot. But there is no bootanimation.zip file only.

Repeat correct the stock boot animation is not zip format but QMG .
You cannot backup a file that you never put their yourself in the first place .eg Bootanimation.zip does not exist on stock .
i put a zip file and tried but it dint change...so is there no way to change the bootanimation in stock samsng rom? i even tried rom toolbox....if there is any such thread for stock samsung plese guide me to it if you know.

Dont know about that i have a old boot animation working just fine on numerous 4.3 roms .
Enable custom boot animation zip when a boot animation zip does not work out of the box or i have not changed it in the rom base .
Would your own basic NA5 rom have that included binary ??

My NA5 doesn't have that, I self-compiled it from CM sources and put in ArchiDroid 1.X. For me, this zip didn't work (caused black screen only) on stock ROM, however it worked on some custom kernels.
I am so glad the GREAT archidroid rom dev replied....so will this work in stock samsung 4.3?? i am using galaxy s3.

Dears,
I've received the OTA_T6_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_HTC_Europe_2.61.401.3-1.54.401.1_release update, and integrated it with my ROM, and I backed it up via TWRP recovery (System/Boot)
if you want to try it , your MAX must be GSM ,it is fully functional, and stock /unrooted and without any modifications.
And it requires few simple step to install it :
1- download the file ( https://www.dropbox.com/s/r1yctvgu68jxomh/2014-03-26--18-11-42 KOT49H release-keys.zip )
2- Extract it
3- Put it in TWRP backup folder on your SDcard ( TWRP/BACKUP/FA3NK..../
4- Full wipe/ format system/ clear cache /
5- Restore
6- Enjoy!

It is rooted everything working but file doesn't change and I can't write anything on sdcard.

make a backup of your own rom.
check sd card
there is a folder... i think twrp
in there there will be a backup folder
in there, there will be another one... pretty cryptic ... for me its something like DHSFSFS01
in there there is your backup... you can delete it if you want or keep it
copy the folder of the rom from this thread to DHSFSFS01 or what its called on your phone...
now back in recovery you can restore both... your rom and the one you downloaded

That means the system partition is write protected.
You will need to edit the file and flash it in recovery for the changes to take.

The zip file contains folders and files that will be injected to the framework-res.apk. So please make a backup before flashing the zip file. I have not tested it on Lollipop but works on my phone with original Kitkat firmware ANK3. I flashed it using CWM. This would probably work on most Samsung latest devices but not totally sure. You can test it on your device after doing a BACKUP.
HIT the THANKS button if you like my post. Have a good flashing everyone.
Hey,
Today I used a ROM to flash my mobile (Samsung J5 2016 edition, model: J510FN) and I just used the perfect ROM, and it fits perfectly. But when I try to turn on WiFi it goes back swipe to off automatically when I swipe it to on.
I used this rom (version v1.1 because v2 and v3 were gone and bad): https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/development/rom-light-stock-rom-v1-t3467865
Someone knows what to do? I'm a beginner, so please explain it good. I have everything btw like Odin, TWRP, latest SuperSU, etc.
Please help.
Thanks
From your stock rom Copy the folder named Permissions from /system/etc and paste it at the same location in your new downloaded rom.
DONOT delete the existing folder , just replace the files.
Good Luck Cheers

You mean an img file , right?
If you have twrp or cwm backup of your stock rom , you can extract it from that file(ext4.system.tar.a) , if you dont have a twrp/cwm backup , you can try to flash stock rom from that img file and then copy necessary files into sdcard and then re flash your new rom and paste the existing files.
Good luck/

No, its an md5 file. Inside the md5 file (when I open it with winrar) it only shows hidedcache files etc and also boot.img

Then you might need to flash your stock rom first and then copy the necessary files.
I have an Mediatek device , steps to troubleshoot are same , but I have a zip of my stock rom created to access stock files when ever i need them.
I would advise you to do the same for future troubleshooting..
Good Luck mate

Permission folder worked for me , but i would insist you to copy the entire /system partition as backup once you have flashed the stock rom just in case.
If permission folder doesnt work , then try replacing files starting with wlan from /system/lib/modules from stock to port
Do only when permissions folder doesnt work.

It is bcoz
Secondary slot is of system partition
and other 3 slots are of cache partition
as there is not enough space in all these 4 slots,it wont work.
And data slot is working for all roms.Extsd slot is working only for some roms as I tested.
And it is better to use twrp to flash.
no probleam if ur rom supports init.d (just flash the fix)otherwise u may face an assue of in switching rom,need to flash boot image of secondary rom manually.

Well twarp is for primary ROM right!! How can I flash it for secondary ROM??? Is their any option for that...because if I want to flash gapps for my second ROM..all I did was first patching the ROM selecting same slot in which my RR ROM is present and then flashing the file by logging into the primary ROM..

what the app does is it inserts some binary to handle the process of flashing into the zip files.
patch the zip files such as gapps or patches to the rom and give the same id as the rom,it will be flashed to ur rom(to which ro has that id).
and flashing the patched zip files from recovery will not touch the primary rom.binary will create create a chroot environment at /data/local/multiboot/slot-id/ and everything will be flashed into it...

its bcoz of special characters in board name.
to solve
backup your boot.img
unpack it using any boot.img unpack tool
edit boot.img-board using text editor
clear all the lines in that file
repack boot.img and flash
now it will not fail to update

Actually it was deleted, but according to my research, for dual boot, ram disk should be updated in both ROMs, but I noticed a problem with nougat ROM, I am unable to update RAMDisk in Nougat ROM, so when I dual boot it with MIUI, it goes in Boot Loop. But how can I update RAMDisk in Nougat?

Okay, i have following Questions.
1) Which software should I use to unzip img file.
2) I am unable to dual boot it with MM V010 on CN3L,
It showing same error posted by @RaghuStar.
3) Avoiding use of BootUI will prevent BootLoop?
4) Is there any effect of kernel version?
