I have another boot animation for the Core Prime, but it should also work with any Samsung phone that uses .qmg boot animations.
***Requirements***
Backup of your old/stock boot animations just in case the new one doesn't work
Rooted device
File Explorer (Make sure it has 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 the extracted bootsamsung.qmg, bootsamsungloop.qmg, and the shutdown.qmg files from your SD card/device storage and then navigate to /system/media. Paste all three of these files in this location. Warning! Your phone will boot loop if you don't use the bootsamsungloop.qmg file!
Step 4: Reboot your phone. The 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.

Okay i found this animation a while back and have been trying to get it to work on the EVO 4G, However i don't know exactly what the hang up is.
Steps i Took:
Extracted the Files
Extracted "Boot Animation.zip
Deleted "android Folder"
Renamed "VZW" to android
rewrote "desc.txt" to say
"480 800 15
p 1 1 android"
Zipped up VZW (renamed to android) and desc.txt and renamed the Zip File to "spc_bootanimation.zip", saved to SD Card
used es file explorer and navigated to system/customize/resource
Deleted the Existing spc_bootanimation.zip
copied the new one from the SD Card over to that same location and changed properties to rw-r-r (to match the properties of the old zip file)
and rebooted device, but on reboot it just played the 4g start up sound with a blank screen, any help is appreciated.
P.S. I DO NOT WANT THE BOOT SOUND ATTACHED TO THIS ZIP FILE, AND WANTED TO USE MY OWN SOUND.
boot will not work unless you 0 compress it cant just be zipped back up!
Use winrar set compression to store! then you should be good to go!
For those wanting to change the boot animation on your Wildfire S, here is a quick tutorial. Remember that you do this at your own risk- I take no responsibility. It is fairly simple though.
1. Download your preferred bootanimation and place on the root of your sd card.
2. Rename to "bootanimation.zip" (without the quotes of course)
3. use root explorer and navigate to /system/customize/resource
4. rename the "bootanimation.zip" to "bootanimation.zip.old" and
5. Next navigate to your sdcard, and find the bootanimation.zip file that you downloaded and renamed.
6. long press and choose copy
7. now navigate to the /system/customize/resource folder on your phone and toggle to mount R/W
8. Then just paste the bootanimation
9. Change permission to RW,R,R and done!
9. Reboot to check out your new boot animation
For boot sound replace this file:
android_audio.mp3
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.
Hello Everyone
Here is my Custom Bootanimation for our Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos..:laugh::laugh:
Hope U All Like This:fingers-crossed:
INSTRUCTION
1) Install Root Explorer App
2) open root-system-media
3)Touch ‘Mount R/W’. This will make your system partition writeable.
4)Navigate to /system/media/ on your Android phone, and if there’s a bootanimation.zip file, rename it to bootanimation.zip.bak. This is your phone’s original boot animation.
5)Next, copy the boot animation you downloaded to /system/media and check if the permissions are rw-r—r—. If not, change them to that.
6)Done! Reboot, and enjoy!

I've successfully created a QMG version of the Droid Razr M's boot animation using Samsung Theme Designer. It runs smoothly and doesn't lag. I'd like to thank XDA member @Nonta72 for creating a guide on how to convert zip files to qmg for noobs like me

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?
