2.copy the file bootanimation.zip with root explorer to

i will love to hear some feedback.

Okay i followed your tutorial made all steps all working good but still no crt lock animation. Animations are in settings on full animation.

this is not my guide i just follow another guide for CRT and it worked for me.
r u using KPE ?
did u restart your phone ?
what about bootanimation?

No i have 2.3.4 KPH deodexed and rooted with CWM.
I have after the steps the new bootanimation all is working good but there is no crt lock animation.
I don´t know the hell why on my fuc*** phone that god damn crt lock animation is not working.
Dunno what else i can do i tried so much but still no animation.

OK sorry im usin KPH to my mistake....
did u installed any theme ?
r u using stock theme ?

No theme installed i use the stock theme and i have go luncher installed.
But i use the stock theme.

did u tried to remove go launcher ?
all of my rom is stock, no lancer only TW...
i didnt understand if bootanimation worked for you..

go launcher isn´t running but i try to uninstall it and then check what happen then hope maybe that is the clue.

nope no crt lock animation i uninstalled the go launcher but still no result i think my phone has a spell or something that the crt is not working lol.

Witch way you made with stock 2.3.4 KPH to get the crt animation are you rooted are you deodexed have you CWM installed? Please tell me.

1. flash with odin
2. dodex&root
3. CWM gama
4.flashed coolya kernel
5. did the guide as i published.

There you go why it is working for you because you have not the stock kernel you have the coolya kernel that is why it is working for you hehehehehe.

so why boot animation worked for you ?
i dont think that the kernel is the problem.
i ll try tomorrow with stock kernel and i will update.

Yes the Bootanimation has worked but the crt lock has not worked.
Try it with the stock kernel i am really interessed if it works with stock kernel all stock only rooted deodexed and CWM installed.
I bet it is not working dunno why but i think it is like me not working.

Thanks, works great
For those who does not work CRT animation need to edit framework-res.apk using this tutorial http://goo.gl/XObhR

It is strange, maybe you make a mistake somewhere. I have stock rom and stock kernel too.

On the BVJKP2 FW only the boot animation worked, the crt lock animation didn't worked.
And I have something to share, if you want the original android boot animation, just delete the bootanimation.zip from data/local and system/media or just rename with the .bak at the end AFTER doing the modification of the first post. Also, if you want to remove that Samsung animation when shutting down the phone, just rename to shutdown.qmg.bak the file from system/media/video/shutdown.
After that you will get the original Android boot animation and the Shutting down message when you turn off your phone.
Thanks

Replaced Boot Anim - Now can't replace it again

I've replaced my stock boot anim with some custom boot anim. I found a few flashable zip files that have some great looking boot animations (can't remember where of course). So I boot into CWM and flash the zip files, it says that zip file flashing took "hold" reboot the device, it's still the same boot anim as before.
So then I extracted the flashable zip and found the bootanimation.zip file and overwrote the bootanimation.zip file in /System/Media.
Rebooted the device and STILL the same boot animation as before. I can't get rid of this thing! LOL
Any ideas?

You probably have one in /data/local which is preferred over /system/media if it exists.

Yeah same thing happened for me, once I copied any new boot animation zip to data/local it works fine.

I know it's the wrong sub-forum but this thread went unanswered for a few days in the "Q&A" section. So I knew it would get a response here
Thanks!
So, if I delete the one in \Data\Local the one in \System\Media will take preference?

Why don't just go to Market, search for 'boot animation', and download an app! You can select zip then. So easy!

My issue was no matter what boot animation either flashing it or placing it into System/Media .. the same boot animation would remain...

Install my script linked above, what happens?

I didn't install the script. Initially I just copied the bootanim.zip out of the data/local to system/media and the "new" boot animation took hold. Then deleted it out of /data/local and everything worked. Just like you suggested!
I took a look at your script but I am scared. LoL!
I will have to read / pay attention to the instructions when I've got more time. Because the idea of rotating random boot animations sounds cool

Bootanimation !!!

I am using Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9300 JB 4.1.2 stock ROM but rooted. I wanted to change my boot animation and tried copying "bootanimation,zip" to "system/media" but does not work, not a single one of them. I think the problem is, my phone is using a .qmg file as boot animation named "bootsamsung.qmg" and "bootsamsungloop.qmg", that is why "bootanimation.zip" is not working. I thought of deleting both file and try but I am afraid that my phone would not start at all. So please can any expert here help me out with the boot animation problem. I am a newbie and really wanted to change it. Thank you in advance...

There is a patch for that from anbech...

Once patched you can use the zip format.

DELETING THE FILES WILL ONLY DELETE THE CURRENT BOOTANIMATION. try extracting the zip file and then moving the two files to system / media.make sure to mount system rw, then change permissions to rw-r--r-- change ownership to 0-root then execute the script for each of the new qmg files .reboot. good luck.

You need to read the boot animation zip instructions its simple if you do but difficult otherwise . Essence is boot animation.zip requires slight system file modification on many roms . jje

doesn´t work on i9305
hi i´m using an s3lte i9305 with rXTREME-KK 2.1. I want to us a custom boot animation but when i flash the Bootanimation4U.Samsungani.Only.zip (i have bootanimation in bin) it still shows the stock animation(i set the permissions like they are suposed to be).

Not work
Does not work with Samsung galaxy SM-T230. Black screen. Flash with TWRP.

I tried also on a SG Note Edge all kind of methods but it was not working.
I think that for 4.4. we need to put the bootanimation path (/system/media) into the /system/bin/bootanimation file. This is what I understood so far and for each device there is a specific bootanimation file.
Best regards.

Custom Boot Animations. I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy Stellar running 4.0.2 Ice Cream Sandwich (I had to Odin back to a stock ROM last week lol). I have the bootanimation.zip in System/bin so I downloaded and flashed the Bootanimation4U.Samsungani.Only. It did it's job I guess because after reboot the boot animation was one I chose from ROM Toolbox, however it got stuck in a boot loop. at this point I could turn my screen on and off but that was all so I had to pull the battery, then retry boot recovery multiple times (including resetting from odin mode) before getting back into TWRP. I tryed wiping dalvik cash and cash because I was dumb and didn't when I flashed, and it still boot looped (this time couldn't turn off screen)so I went ahead and recovered with TWRP.
I'm so close I want custom boot animation so bad but I think I should get a little helpful advice before I go on lol.
-I haven't tried flashing the Gears-Bootanim.zip after the samsungani.zip, should I try that? Would it be safer to disable/remove the custom boot animas from ROM Toolbox?
*After recovering with TWRP I went through my files to verify these, this is before adding any files*
-have bootanimation.zip, and also the samsungani in System/bin
-have bootanimation.zip, bootsamsung.qmg, and bootsamsungloop.qmg in system/media
I pretty sure that I put the original boot animation in system/media or backed up to before I even messed with any of those files so I assume the custome boot that came from ROM Toolbox was enabled through the program or something. But hey at least we know the zip allowed the custom boot animation lol. What should I do guys?

Flashing problem
Every time I try to flash things like this (fixes, bootanims, excluding SU apps, those are ok), an error comes up, be it ClockWorkMod recovery, or stock recovery that does the flashing. My phone is Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5839i

I also have that problem after flesh bootanimation4u.zip .....how I get back to bootanimation.qmg

[MOD] Note 4 International Boot/Shutdown Animation

I've seen some ROMs using this boot animation and I must prefer it as opposed to the stock T-Mobile animations, so I decided to package these into a CWM/TWRP package so that you can use it regardless of what ROM you decide to use. I checked to see if this had been posted before, but wasn't able to find anything. While I tested it with the T-Mobile version (SM-N910T) it will work with any variant.
To apply the mod just flash your chosen zip file in either CWM or TWRP.
Standard: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001609635
Standard w/ Boot Sound Disabled: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001609633
Reset To Stock Animations: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001609634
Enjoy!
P.S. I am fully aware that the stock animation is basically this with the absurdly bright T-Mobile screen at the end, that's why I don't like it!

Thanks for this I personally prefer this one

No need, it is just the T-Mobile one without the absurdly bright T-Mobile screen. Its just the sparkly Samsung logo. Eventually I'll get around to getting the Lollipop boot animation installed.

bootloop if you put a kernel
i flash it on top of kk kernel and i get boot loops

Then you did something wrong, I'm using it with FireKatN4 + KT-NOTE4 and it works great. This does not modify anything that would cause a bootloop. My spidey sense tells me that you didn't clear your Cache/Dalvik when you flashed the kernel like the instructions clearly tell you to do.

Thanks
