S3 Matrix Boot animation for STOCK ROM - Galaxy S III Themes and Apps

I've searched and searched but could never find a Matirx code rain boot animation made for the Samsung Galaxy S3 for a STOCK ROM. Bootanimation.zip files don't work on a stock ROM for the S3 so I took some of the better ones I found in zip files and converted them to the .qmg files that the S3 wants. I've included the boot animation as well as the shutdown animation and the Matrix sounds for them also.
You do need to have ROOT to install these and ROOT Explorer is recommended to copy them into the right folders and change permissions. If you aren't rooted I highly recommend 'towelroot' and it doesn't get any easier than that app for rooting.
Download my zip file then:
- rename your existing files (the ones that have the same names as I have included in the Zip file) in the folders listed below to something else you will remember like bootsamsung.bak and do this for each file you will be replacing with ones I have included in the Zip file.
- I suggest a complete backup with TWRP in case anything goes wrong. If you don't have TWRP get it - best thing going and I also use an app called 'Quickboot' which lets you get into TWRP recovery without having to do the 3 finger grip on the buttons you normally need to do to get into recovery.
- copy bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg to your system/media folder with Root Explorer
- use Root explorer change permissions on them to rw-rr
- copy the *.ogg (sound) files to system/media/audio/ui folder
- copy shutdown.qmg to system/media/video/shutdown folder
- use Root explorer change permissions on them to rw-rr
Reboot and enjoy a reminder of one of the best movies ever made !

I wish I could recall where all the parts for the above animations came from but I am not sure. Some probably came from xda forum so if any of these were from something you created I'll gladly give credit. I did have to resize exactly 100 pictures to make them the correct size for the Galaxy S3. However the shutdown animation came from somewhere else and did not need to be resized or rebuilt. I used Samsung's Theme Designer to convert the files to the needed qmg format for Galaxy's. There is about 3 pages of instructions on how to do that Here
The .ogg files were from my own collection of Matrix sound files and ringtones and used another program to convert them from MP3's to OGG files.

BTW if I am wrong about not being able to use bootanimation.zip files on a Galaxy S3 please let me know. I tried every way to Sunday to try using them but had no luck. I don't mind flashing a good ROM but I don't trust flashing a bootanimation file and I'm not even sure you can do that on a stock S3 ROM. If anyone has more info on that please post here. I've still got a lot to learn

[MOD][THEME][APP]Original Samsung Galaxy S II Boot Animation and Shutdown

This is the boot animation with audio and shutdown with audio from the original samsung galaxy s II. in my opinion they are much cleaner, and classier than some of the others... I like a simple clean look.
Here is the boot animation. I have tested and it works for stock roms, custom roms version was tested and works. SSConceptz zipped it for flashing. Thank Him!

Sorry Guys, I thought they were done uploading, apparently not...
I love the power on and power off animations, clean, simple, and no carrier branding...
Thanks was really looking for a replacement to Sprints splash during shutdown.
Thanks will try these when I get home.

I am running Midnight ROM 2.2, with Kernal that came with it...
What Rom are you on? - I guess I should have been more clear... If you are stock rooted, this may not work, depending on what kernal you are running. the Kernal needs to support boot animation. Unfortunately I dont have the original Galaxy S II qmg files. I am sure they are out there, but the only way to test them is to install the bootsamsung.qmg from a GSII in the same location, and overwrite the existing. do you have cwm on your phone? can you make a backup first? I highly recomend you do that!~
As far as power on, just replace the poweron.ogg file, or you can convert the wav file i included to an ogg file with a converter, I dont think that will matter. the sound should work either way.
as far as the shutdown animation and sound...
I am updating the OP Now~ sorry for the confussion...

Okay, thanks for some clarification. I am on Stock Pulled kernel with CWM5. I was able to get it working with a minor change to your steps.
Here is what I did to get it to work:
1) Download Original SGSII without boot animation support.zip file in OP
2) Unzip contents to location on phone (internal or external is fine)
3) Nandroid backup in CWM5 just in case
4) Using Root Explorer, copy bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg to system/media. Fix permissions to be like other files.
5) Copy PowerOn.wav to system/etc. Fix permissions
6) Copy shutdown.qmg to system/media/video/shutdown. Fix permissions
7) Copy PowerOff.wav to system/media/audio/ui (this is different than stated in OP) Fix permissions
8) Reboot and should be good to go.
Also, just a note, the PowerOn.wav file is exactly the same as the one that already exists on the stock rom. It is already the Samsung sound so no need to really copy that file if you are on stock.
Thanks for helping us get rid of the ugly Sprint boot animation!!
Awesome... Glad you got it working!
I wish I knew how to compile a flashable zip for CWM. It would be easier for others if they could just flash the corresponding zip for the ROM they were on...
I am not a dev, but learning more about android, and modding every day...

Thanks for the modified install procedure. Works for me now.
I replaced the PowerOn.wav with a .wav file I found at freesounds.org. It's quite different and fresh/new!

Just rename it PowerOn.wav of course...

Issue changing boot animation

Running TNz Blend 2.6.2 with gunslinger.
I put the bootanimation.zip file in system/media and deleted the old file. I changed permissions. I tried renaming the file to sanim.zip. All I get now is the ANDROID logo.
I also tried the following:
How to replace/add a boot animation
1.Download or extract a bootanimation.zip
2.Place the bootanimation.zip on root of your SD card (or use a cloud app i.e. Dropbox, Minus, Box, etc.)
3.Make a copy of the bootanimation and name it sanim.zip and move that to your SD card as well
4.Open a root manager app (I prefer Root Explorer)
5.Navigate to system/media
6.Select Mount R/W (top right in Root Explorer, on by defauly in ROM Toolbox) then either delete, or move existing bootanimation.zip and sanim.zip
7.Navigate back to sdcard, then copy or move bootanimation.zip to system/media and then repeat with sanim.zip
•Some people replace only the bootanimation.zip and others only the sanim.zip, but I find each of those methods seem to create issues if the kernel you are running does not support custom bootanimations by default. So I replace both zips and it has worked well on multiple ROMs/Kernels. If this doesn't work for you, try replacing each individually. One of the three methods will definitely work for your ROM/Kernel combo.
•User 12MaNy has created a thread with several bootanimations available as well some methods for install
•Boot animation sounds can be found/added at /system/etc/poweron.wav and /system/etc/1_Power_on.ogg (may be listed as /system/etc/poweron.bak and /system/etc/1_Power_on.bak if these have been "muted".)
•Also make sure to check and see if your dev has already moded the boot ani setup as nerys71 discovered here.
How to hack custom bootanimation support (Via chris41g) Only works with source built kernels. Thanks dtm_stretch.
1.Rename /system/bin/samsungani to something else... (eg samsungani.old)
2.Rename /system/bin/bootanimation to /system/bin/samsungani
3.After that it will load whatever bootanimation is at /system/media/sanim.zip
After doing the steps above, I get a black screen during boot.
Any help is appreciated.
All I do is rename the old one to .bak and put the new one in system/media and reboot ...works on cm 9

Apparently that should work, but it hasn't for me. I also tried when I was on the Blazer rom.

[How To] Change your Bootanimation

Confirmed working on T999, and i747
Unfortunately as some of you may have already figured out, changing your boot animation isn't as easy as it used to be.
I've searched around and couldn't actually find a decent tutorial on how to change them for rooted/stock Samsung devices.
Therefore after moderate amount of trial and error, and the much needed help of a few others, I've decided to create a small "How To" for Samsung devices.
****************************************************
So the basic bootanimation editing
Get the bootanimation.zip file that you want to use (or create your own)
Unzip it to verify a little information is correct
Open the desc.txt file > you should see something like this (numbers will vary)
700 1116 18
p 1 0 part0
p 5 0 part1
Whatever bootanimation you use, make SURE that the number directly after the "p" is NOT 0 otherwise you will enter a never-ending loop.
You will probably also need to edit the dimensions in this file. (in the example would be the top line 700 1116 18)
From playing around with a few animations, somewhere in the ballpark of 480x800 and 720x1200 seem to be working pretty well, but pending the images you may need to play around with them to make it work for your phone.
Once you've set the loop amount and fixed the dimensions, save the desc.txt file, re-zip the file (make sure to include part0 and part1 and other folders if you're creating your own) and transfer it to your phone
[alternatively, adb push to system/media]
*************************************************************************************
‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼
*********** MAKE A NANDOID BACKUP ***********
‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼
First:
Navigate to system/media and either can either A) Delete the original bootanimation.zip located in system/media or B) simply rename it to something else (ex. bootanimationBAK.zip)
Using a root explorer of some type, move the new bootanimation.zip file in this folder to replace the original. [mount r/w]
And then...
Using the root explorer, navigate to system/bin
you will be working with 2 files.
*First find a file named "samsungani" (no file extension) and delete or rename it (ex samsunganiBAK) [mount r/w]
*Secondly find a file named "bootanimation" (also, no file extension) and rename this file to "samsungani" without the quotation.
OPTIONAL...
I personally hate T-Mobile's bootup/shutdown sounds.
While we're in the /system folder we can disable or remove them completely.
*** Navigate to system/media/audio/ui
You will be working with two files here again.
Look for "PowerOff.wav" and "PowerOn.ogg"
*** Rename them to something else or simply delete them. (ex. "PowerOffBAK.wav" and "PowerOnBAK.ogg"
And finally...
Change your system to R/O and reboot your device.
NOTE: if your bootanimation winds up not playing, and you get a blank screen until the device boots up completely, verify that the images in part0 and part1 are in .png format.
****************************************************************************************
This is the reason I had to figure this out. For those of you wanting the Nexus 7 bootanimation, I have this working on my phone at the moment.
So far, this is only confirmed working on the T-Mobile GSIII however *should* work for all variants.
please let me know what other Samsung devices this also works for.
Confirmed NOT working for: I9300, L710, i535. - if you figure out a way to get this on your device, let me know and i will add it!
*** If you get this loop and are unable to navigate to folders, attached is a flashable zip for a samsung bootanimation hopefully it helps*** < thanks to billard412 for this
Worked on ATT SGS3. Thanks.
Althoug I am not impressed with Nexus 7 boot animation. Going to ROM Toolbox to pickup something else.
Thanks for the howto!

If i don't want any animation can i simply rename or delete the animation and sound files you mentioned? And hopefully that will reduce boot time.

This seems to not be working properly with the Verizon S3.
I may have just missed something, but on my rooted Verizon S3, this caused me to stay in the boot animation perpetually. The phone booted as normal and I could tell the volume keys were working correctly, but the boot animation never went away.

AT&T I747 only has the qmg file in media. Also the local file is there, but placing the file in there does not do anything. Still uses the qmg file.
Would need to have a kernel that supports boot animations in order to change this one.

Stock boot animations QMG files anyone?

Dear All,
I just bought a 32gb i9300 originally on swisscom (no restrictions) . The most annoying thing is the boot and shutdown animations and sounds. I tried available options on my phone but most of them are bootanimation.zip file where my phone being stock uses qmg files. installed one available from one of the threads but now the startup is messed (see attachements).
the one was downloaded from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1984035
Is there any brother out there who can provide me with 100% original boot qmg files? i.e.bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg with original boot and shutdown sounds since the ones installed are of an annoying lady singing lalalala???
I will be grateful...
Thanks
Boot qmg only .

Try Perkas file stash for the others or extract from a stock rom .
Boot zip only work with modified rom or kernel .

stock boot animation and manual debloat
I don't remember where I got my qmg files but I attached them to this post.they work. there are only two files bootsamsungloop.qmg and bootsamsung.qmg.. I followed the instructions given but they failed to instruct me to open the files with a script executor. these are the steps that worked for me.
1. copy files to sdcard. I used internal or phone.
2. using a file explorer , I used root explorer mount system/media r/w then delete bootsamsung.qmg ,. bootsamsungloop.qmg and also delete the file in the video folder called shutdown.qmg.
3 go back to sdcard and copy the two files bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg paste both files to directory system/media.
4. change permissions to rw-r--r-- for both files, change ownership to 0-root for both files also I changed the group to1023
-media-rw you might also be able to change group to 0-root not sure if that would work though.
5.finally I opened each file with Linux script handler and executed both,
6, reboot and watched the stock animation boot . I don't remember there being any shutdown animation on the unbranded rom.
I couldn't flash this through odin and I don't use custom recoveries or kernels . It took me about two days to figure out how to get back to stock animation..
also I found this link very useful to manually debloat my GT-I9300, https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AqTvctlW89DtdC1qVUlLeVFTV3ZOdUtDclpBdVRQOUE&pli=1#gid=0 . have fun! EDIT UNABLE TO UPLOAD QMG FILES. first try it said server busy second try it said invalid files. maybe because qmg is not listed under valid file extensions. sorry for that.

Backup of your stock boot animations just in case the new one doesn't work
Rooted device
File Explorer (Make sure that you've given it proper root permissions)
***Instructions***
Step 1: Download the attached zip below and extract it to your SD card (or your device storage).
Step 2: Go to your file explorer app and navigate to /system/media, scroll down and you should see three QMG files: bootsamsung.qmg, bootsamsungloop.qmg, and shutdown.qmg. Delete them after you've backed them up.
Step 3: In your file explorer app copy both of the extracted bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg files from your SD card/device storage and then navigate to /system/media. Paste both of these files in this location. Warning! Your phone will boot loop if you don't use the bootsamsungloop.qmg file!
Step 4: While in the file explorer go back to your SD card/device storage and copy the PowerOn.ogg sound file. Put this in /system/media/audio/ui.
Step 5: Reboot your phone. The Droid Razr boot animation should play as normal. If it doesn't check to make sure that you've followed the above instructions and try again, and post here if you need help with anything.

Here's the stock animation. Which version of the Galaxy Core Prime do you have? Did you delete the old qmg files before you put the new qmg files in /system/media?
