I know this question has probably been asked a million times already, but how do you change the at&t boot logo or the firefly boot logo to a custom gif or jpeg?
Mobiletechvideos.com has a batch for changing the att logo and a video showing you how to use it, I can't post a link (see rule 11). The firefly is a bootanimation.zip that is located in /system/media you can swap that out with another bootanimation.zip with adb or a root file explorer.

I don't believe he's asking about the param.lfs, but rather the kernel image.
please answer which you are asking about as I can explain how to do either. though studacris is right about the bootanimation change and the param.lfs change (which is in a video we aren't allowed to link to)
The kernel says sgs-I897 not att I believe, whatever the speedmod has. But if you know how to change the kernel image, please enlighten me!

it requires compiling your own kernel and modifying the logo_rgb24_wvga_portrait.h in drivers/video/samsung to what you want using morfic's tools here: https://github.com/morfic/Samsung-logo
you cannot change it without building your own kernel though
ok there is the att splash screen that can only be flashed from odin
an att boot animation that is part of the kernel, with the flying things and the annoyingly loud sounds
and a samsung boot animation that is in a proprietary format and cant be replaced
then with i9000 kernels there is a kernel splash screen instead of att animation
the speed mod kernel is a i9000 kernel with an edited splash screen to say i897. the captivate doesnt have this screen stock
on modified kernels the boot animation is changed to the standard bootanimation.zip that most other android phones use.
to change the att splash screen you need odin. follow the thread below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849789
to change the kernel animation/splash screen, i dunno, ask a kernel dev, or just fond a kernel with one you like.
to change a boot animation get a kernel that supports bootanimation.zip and find a good boot animation, there are a few in the themes and apps section, just place the boot animation.zip file in /system/media

how do you make a new bootanimation.zip?

you're confusing your terms, there are 3 separate "boot" pieces.
1) bootsplash = param.lfs (first image you ever see)
2) bootlogo = logo_rgb24_wvga_portrait.h which is built into the kernel (AT&T kernels have this as well, it's just identical to the param.lfs one on stock, install the OverStock kernel if you don't believe me and see it's been changed)
3) bootanimation = either Samsung's bootsamsung.qmg or bootanimation.zip
depending on which the OP was asking about, each one of these are changed differently. please don't spread conflicting (and incorrect) information.
Would I be out of place to mention BootAnimation Changer from the market?
Sent from a place my wife doesn't know about (yet)
I've been trying to change the boot animation on my stock 2.2 captivate rooted and can't find the original one anywhere, i have looked in: system/media, data/local, res, and anywhere else it might seem that a boot animation would be located, you guys have any ideas?
Bootanimation.zip has to be enabled in the kernel. If it is already just put the zip in /system/media and it will over ride the stock S.
If you aren't running a kernel that supports bootanimation.zip then you can't change the animation.
But the stock animation is also in /system/media
bootsamsung.qmg
bootsamsungloop.qmg
I'm trying to get custom boot animations working on a stock deodexed ROM. What I've done so far is in /system/bin: deleted "samsungani" and then renamed "bootanimation" to "samsungani". This got rid of the Samsung boot animation in place of the Vanilla Android one and this works fine (although it is rather crap!).
However if I place any custom boot animation at /system/media/bootanimation.zip it works, but it just plays indefinitely and fails to disappear once the Android interface has loaded. I've tried editing the animation settings inside the zip file. I've also tried a boot animation pulled straight out of the Simplicity v2.1 ROM's zip file which doesn't work either, so it is obviously not a problem with the actual bootanimation.zip as that one must be preconfigured to work on an S5830i.
I must need to change something else but I have no idea what? I tried deleting "bootsamsungloop.qmg" "bootsamsung.qmg" from /system/media which done absolutely nothing.
Bump: I think custom ROM developers should know the answer to this or anyone else please?
EDIT: I worked it out. If anyone wants to know, forget about what I said in the first post. It seems that /system/bin/samsungani is modded in ROMs with custom boot animations as there is a difference in file size. So just overwrite your samsungani with the modified version from a ROM's zip file that has a custom boot animation, such as Simplicity v2.1. Then put your bootanimation.zip in /system/media and that's it.
To remove/replace the boot animation sound the file is /system/etc/poweron.ogg, delete it or replace it.
So, I found a cool boot animation but he is .qmg and my S5 mini is using .zip after I flashed a custom Boot animation who enabled the native Android Bootanimation.zip support. Can someone help me if there is any file I can flash to start using .qmg again? Thanks
@Edit: Already found the solution
Im trying to change my boot animation manually by accessing /system/media and replace the original zip file. I already renamed the new and old file with bootanimation.zip and bootanimation.zip.bak, respectively. And lastly, change the permission of the new zip file with rw-r--r-- but for some reason, it wont work. My phone wont recognized the new boot animation and would just skip it entirely. Does anyone know the problem and how to fix it? The original boot animation does work if i revert back the original.
Currently running pixel experience 8.1
Update: it seems that custom boot animation only works with pixel style boot animation. i tested dark theme pixel boot animation and it works but other than that, no other custom boot animation works.
