Since I've had my N970U rooted I've been trying to replace the Bootanimation but couldn't find it. I have no idea what qmg files are in /system/media but when I replaced a few times it made no difference to the bootanimation. I'm posting this because I couldn't find the location of it all across the internet. So if anyone is interested it's found in: /product/omc/ "Choose your Carrier"/res/media. That is the animation you want to replace.
The "shutdown.qmg" is not in the same folder for some reason. Shutdown is in /system/media. Sound is PowerOn.ogg in /system/media/audio/UI.
It seems like a lot of people don't care about the boot animations anymore but I'm not about to have a rooted phone with the stock animation even if I have to deal with the stock rom, lol
Boot Animation: /product/omc/ "Choose your Carrier"/res/media
Shutdown Animation: /system/media
Boot Animation Sound (PowerOn.ogg): /system/media/audio/UI

So, now that we're rooted. Lets get that animation installed. I've checked /system/media but its full of .qmg files. I'd rather not flash over them with bootanimation.zip which is flying around for every phone.
So, let me know if you have the files necessary to change this.
+1 for me ... want to have the xoom bootscreen on my gt
I have the Hellcat kernel but i do not see the bootanimation.zip
I see ODEAnim.zip and replaced that with bootanimation.zip (and even renamed it) but no luck?
how can i get my custom animation working?
lol, then I deleted the .qmg boot animation files, and now i have no boot animation.
I need help with restoring the stock Galaxy S2 boot animation.
This was what happened. I installed jrummy's Root Tools.
In my eagerness, I replaced the original boot animation without backing up!
Now when I want to undo the changes that has been done, many an online search suggested going to system/media and removing bootanimation.zip so that bootsamsung and bootsamsungloop can work their magic...
And here is where the problem is, bootanimation.zip is nowhere to be found!
I wonder if Root Tools had totally overwritten bootsamsung and bootsamsungloop.
All I want is to get back the original bootanimation sequence.
Can anyone help with this? TIA!!!
Here is the original bootanimation
Just unzip the attached zip file and copy and paste the attached bootsamsung.qmp and bootsamsungloop.qmg to system/media and you are done..
BTW is your poweron sound intact??
Thanks bro! The poweron sound is still present.
I have resolved the problem. Apparently, I have been going at it wrongly.
I had been using Astro as file manager but it didn't allow me to access data/local where bootanimations.zip was.
After I switched to RootExplorer and removed the offending file, voila!

do you have original off animation? im using branded 3 ROM, the shutdown animation look so ugly
or if u dont mind, u can upload your system/media folder thx :good:
Thanks for that, i was looking for that also
I'm using this Rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341395&page=203
I already changed my boot animation but I can't seem to find the down animation anyone know where it might be???
I tried searching at system/media , system/customize/resource
nothing exists just the boot animation in system/media.
I want to have a down animation
even data/local - nothing
BUMP???
On my phone there is two boot animations & two down animations. In system/customize/resource there should be hTC_downanimation.zip & TMOUS_downanimation.zip
So I've been rooted on APE1 and have been tweaked everything from my status bar to my navigation keys, and I realized I hadn't changed my boot animation yet. So I went out and googled how to do it, and sure enough changing your boot animation is possible and pretty easy too. So here's what you need to do.
1. Download an alternative boot animation, I've used animations from here: http://androidbootanimation.com/category/samsung-qmg-boot-animations/
And of course the sweet boot animation from the Stang5Litre ROM:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=385035244224409429
2. Download a root browser, I personally use Root Browser from JRummy Apps.
3. Grant it root access and keep tapping the two dots (underneath which it says parent folder till you reach the root of your phone.
4. Click system, then click media.
5. Scroll till you find these files.
SPR_shutdown.qmg
SPR_bootsamsungloop.qmg
SPR_bootsamsung.qmg
bootsamsung.qmg
bootsamsungloop.qmg
shutdown.qmg
6. Move these files out of the system/media folder to your SD card if you're replacing both the shutdown and boot animation (I created a folder called boot animation in my SD card):
SPR_shutdown.qmg
SPR_bootsamsungloop.qmg
SPR_bootsamsung.qmg
bootsamsung.qmg
bootsamsungloop.qmg
shutdown.qmg
6b. Or move these files out of the system/media folder to your SD card if you're replacing just the boot animation (I created a folder called boot animation in my SD card):
SPR_bootsamsungloop.qmg
SPR_bootsamsung.qmg
bootsamsung.qmg
bootsamsungloop.qmg
7. Extract the boot animation you downloaded earlier and copy the files which are labeled like this this if you're replacing the boot animation and shutdown animation:
bootsamsung.qmg
bootsamsungloop.qmg
shutdown.qmg
Or like this if you're simply replacing the boot animation:
bootsamsung.qmg
bootsamsungloop.qmg
8. Paste them into the system/media folder.
9. Long press the files you copied, and click permissions.
10. Set the read as allowed for owner, group, and others. Set the write and execute as allowed for only the owner for all 3 files if you're replacing both the startup animation and the shutdown, or for two of the files if you're replacing only the startup.
11. Click ok.
12. Ensure all three or two files are there and have the right permissions.
13. Reboot, and you should see your new boot up and shutdown animation.
