the way boot animations on captivate is way different.
to change the AT&T world phone you have to FLASH a whole new ROM.
To change the flying burning 3G with the Galaxy S boot you need to change the bootsamsung.qmg file. to change the shutdown animation.. there are .png files to change it i forgot where..
Here's a thread I easily searched in the forums with more information.

Thanx for your reply. I have read that thread before. The issue I have now is that I have removed all the att stuff with the SRE rom. So what I'm trying to do now is change the Samsung S animation. Right after the att slpash screen. I'm hoping to be able to remove both the white slpash screen and the Samsung S logo and simply have just my custom boot animation. I'd like to do the same for shutdown. Just need some help. I have tried using adb to explore my phone but for some reason it will read that the device is there and it will open shell and show the $ sign. But any cmd i type just says no known path ect. So I'm not sure what is wrong there. I wanted to try to just change out the qmg file with one of my own but don't know how yet. Any ideas anyone?

This is my first time trying to create a custom boot animation... I think its going to be great if someone would gladly help me out... I can't figure out what has gone wrong with it and why when I restart its just a black screen.. I appreciate everyone who can help me. Thank you... And Thank You XDA... I would upload it directly to xda but the file is too big... so here is the link to whoever wants to help me...

I cant download and check as im stuck in work, but i assume its png animation?
-Have you STORED the boot animation instead of compressing?
-Have you checked that the desc.txt is written correct, right file names and a empty line at the bottom?
These are the two most common fails
You could also download someone elses bootscreen and compare files.
Hope this helps.
Hi everyone!
I am looking for someone who isn't begginer in working with kernels and can help me change TASS.rle file (and also make it from png). I tried myself a lot of times with diffrent methods (I've even installed ubuntu), but my every try ends with boot stop showing samsung logo... I asked some people about this but they can't help...
Will I find someone with good heart ? Thanks in advance
Blackdroids Lie has just told you a lie...
Hello I really hope someone has a good solution for my problem (FIXED NOW - read whole post if interested), I have attempted quite a few supposed solutions that i found and always seem to run into the same problems, so I will try and explain as much as possible about my device and problem.
Firstly I have Samsung Galaxy SIII mini, I bought this from a carphone warehouse store in the UK under a o2 network contract but I believe it to not be network locked.
I then successfully rooted my phone with this image file ( https://mega.co.nz/#!qIsiEZIZ!L7rPSSTJ89-N3WrKs-i5vjYoW0lCIXMnkC5fGcnCg3o ) the other day using odin and by following this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2030282
Everything worked PERFECTLY and was extremely happy with the results I had now acquired super user control allowing me to use apps that require this privilege apps such as LCD Density changer (should be renamed "Samsung Bricker")
I stupidly used a LCD Density changer app, which i believe changed the density from 240 to 190.
Since this change the phone would not get past the very first load screen, meaning not the animated samsung logo but the simple galaxy s3 mini splash that is shown before. It still charged and I could still get to recovery mode, I dont think safe mode worked though. I could also still access it via adb on my PC.
So I followed a number of threads on how to use adb and shell to to edit the build.prop file to reset the density but even following numerous methods to make the /system folder and its contents rw (read writable) as opposed to ro (read only) and same goes for build.prop
I was never able to to push the build.prop file back into /system. Even when it seemed it had done it i would pull the build.prop file back again to check to see that there was no change whatsoever.
I also did not have anything like busybox installed to the best of my knowledge and seemed like a much more complex solution to any other thread.
I then wondered would the rom I previously installed contain the correct build.prop file in its system.img, I attempted to unpack these images to check but was unable to with numerous supposed tools available for windows ( I think ubuntu systems are the best for this ).
Just out of pure random stabbing in the dark I hit volume down + power + home once again. I suddenly saw the odin screen on my phone. "Hell to the Yeah" I thought to myself.
So I attempted to follow the thread (mentioned earlier) for the custom the rom using odin again (this was like the 3rd time i had tried to get the odin screen back, as you some times find the connection to the PC and phone to be very unstable at times, so due to this I had just assumed this wasn't going to work)
Now I see the odin screen perhaps, just perhaps the rom does include the build.prop file. So I started the process again and now even though I have wiped all my data as part of my trials to get the phone working again I now no longer have a brick rather than a phone! This process actually took place whilst I was in the middle or writing this post as I was at my wits end and desperately seeking help.
So I am posting this anyway with the hope it may at some point help some other unfortunate soul! MY PHONE NOW WORKS AGAIN! a few hours of my life gone but hopefully it'll save someone else these hours!
(word to the wise dont screw with the LCD Density unless you have a confirmed list of working density's)
Thanks for reading!
Best Wishes Rhys
This sounds great but it's for a different device. You posted in the Verizon Galaxy SIII section (SCH-I535). I'll get a mod to move this for you.

Yeah sorry about that, I did search for a S3 mini forum just had trouble finding it! Thanks to Naddict + SlimSnoopOS for moving to correct thread! :highfive:
Good news.
I hate the damn boot animations and tried replacing them with the regular S5 versions which didn't work and it messed up my screen. My damn screen won't turn off now. Power button has no effect on it. I did a bit of googling trying to figure out what caused it and found someone who had the exact same problem on an S4 after deleting their boot animations. If someone could pull theirs and upload them for me I'd be ever grateful. I don't need the mini ones, just the first two. Thanks!
Scratch that, managed to fix it myself. Downloaded the stock AT&T firmware posted elsewhere here and flashed it via Odin and it's working again! Hopefully this will help some other dummy in the future lol
I've been looking every for a way to get a custom boot animation for my phone but nothing has worked, not even the ones that claim to work on all devices. Im guessing these methods are out of date? If anyone has a method that will work with the stock rom these days, please let me know!
(Keep in mind that I'm new to all this modding and complicated tech stuff.)
**Update** Someone showed me how, turns out one of the ways I had been doing wrong.
