Hello,
I was looking to change the boot animation on my at&t note 3. I am using a custom rom that is ported from an s5. My question is whether or not I needed to use the note 3 directions or s5 directions to change the rom. Which qmg files would i need to change or move to the sd card? Also, I can't seem to find the poweron.ogg file. Where would this be?
Thanks!
The first post of this thread describes what the boot animation files are.

If you're having trouble locating them, use the search feature of your file explorer.

For those wanting to change the boot animation on your Thunderbolt, 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 the /system/media folder OR /system/customize/resource folder for VirusROM (I think)
4. rename the "bootanimation.zip" to "bootanimation.zip.old" and "Finalthunder.mp3" to "Finalthunder.mp3.old"
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/media folder on your phone and toggle to mount R/W
8. Then just paste the bootanimation and done!
9. Reboot to check out your new boot animation
I will be trying to reach out to several devs who have made boot animations and see if they will let me post a link to them here so we can have a centralized place to get anims from. Will update as soon as I start hearing back from those devs.
How do you change the boot sound?
I was able to change this right after root by using the same methods as I used on my DINC. But I want to replace the boot sound as well. I have tried renaiming to thunderfinal.mp3, android_audio.mp3, and (VZW_) something .mp3 to no avail. Any suggestions or success?

rename it to:
thunderfinal.mp3.old
and it "should" work. at least it worked for me. if you change the bootanimation, just add ".old" after .zip
FYI - I don't think that is the correct location - at least it's not on my Thunderbolt. Check here: /system/customize/resource and find the VZW_bootanimation.zip.
I replaced that with one of my choice and it's working fine. The sound is there as well: FinalThunder.mp3.

It depends what rom you are using. The debloated rom has those files placed in media. I am running the debloated rom now.
Where can I download other boot animations?
In xda there are a ton of boot animations. Just use the search. I put "boot animation" in the search tab and got a ton of results.

The stock rom is:
/system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
Same as EVO not DINC, DINC called it VZW_bootanimation.zip
I've been working on a few of my own boot animations. The problem I found is that when I dropped in my own boot animation and left the finalthunder.mp3 right where it was. It no longer played the thunder sound?? I assumed that changing the name of finalthunder would make it go away otherwise it would play no matter what.
So why did it stop playing when I didn't touch it?
**EDIT
Duplicate post. Sorry!
Maybe the sound is tied to the original boot animation through a script or other file...not really sure. I am going to play around with it this week and see if I can get the sound working as I have a couple ideas myself. If I find something that works I will be sure to post back and let you know.

I'd like to know as well. I can't see anywhere in the VZW_bootanimation.zip where that file is even referenced...
Of course, I'm not exactly a scholar in this area. I just want to use a custom sound with my custom boot ani.
Thanks!

*UPDATE*
I extracted all the stock folders from the zip, I changed 1 PNG (the quietly brilliant splash in the 'android' folder), rezipped it and put it back on the bolt. When I rebooted the screen was blank BUT the finalthunder.mp3 STILL played... and there was no animation.
I kept the PNG file name that I changed the same as the original... not sure why it stopped working tho. {Note - I rename the zip (attached) after I have it on my SD card. then move it to the system/customize/resource.}
hey guys, having some problems making mine
i was able to make everything but i get no image. I made 120 jpg files for the VZW folder and placed them in their.
I then customized the HTC screenie for the android folder, and finally in the progress folder i placed a .gif (which i didn't think was a problem).
I also placed the desc.txt file as well, zipped it up and placed in in /system/media. No dice...
Anyone else having an issue or has had this issue and knows what i need to do??
edited because
Anybody got any cool boot animations running on their Tbolts yet?
Awesome this worked great. Thinks for the instructions.
okay, i need some assistance, I'm trying to make a fairly simple boot animation, but NONE of the animations ive used have worked I am obviously not doing something right, but not sure what
I can't get this to work either... I'm running DaBamf ROM and put these files in the system/media folder to replace what was there and all I get is a black screen and no sound at all... I haven't messed with the stock location of these files yet, so we'll see...
Ok this is a weird solution but it has worked for me.
1. down load the link below and flash it. When it boots up you will get the famous rick roll bootanimation that jcase put up on April 1st.
2. Go to /system/media/ and replace the bootanimation.zip with whatever bootanimation.zip you want.
3. If you want to add custom boot sound you have to name it android_audio.mp3 to replace what is there. If you don't want any sound delete the existing android_audio.mp3 or you will get Rick Astley every time you boot.
That has allowed me to change bootanimation and get custom sound each time I have replaced the ROM. If that works for you thank me and enjoy.
I've done a few searchs to try and figure this out on my own, but I've been coming up short. I'm just trying to get a custom boot animation on my Sprint Tab. I'm comfortable removing the stock animation and audio. I can't, however, find anyway to add my own. I've tried renaming the custom animation to bootani.qmg with the stock one deleted out. When I boot up, though, it shows nothing still and boots up with no animation. Not asking for someone to reply with a written out guide, but a point in the right direction would be awesome.
Thanks!
Get your new bootanim (usually called bootanimation.zip butbif bit not, then rename it to that) then move it to system/media. Reboot and you should have been new boot anim

That's the issue. Thought that's all I needed to do, but after trying that exact method repeatedly with different animations and bootanimation.zip files, it does not work for me.
I've tried renaming the file bootani.qmg, bootanimation.qmg, bootani.zip, and bootanimation.zip.
The .qmg is the sound file so you don't need that. What video format is your animation? It isn't just the name that has to be correct, its the format and file size too.
I would suggest using the DukeNukem boot file, since we know it works, to verify the process, then go make a custom file. And be sure to post back with your results!
That would make more sense. I just sorta assumed maybe it was searching for a file name and not finding it. Will try once more with the suggested boot animation and let ya know!
DukeNukem was also a no go. :/
I don't have a sprint tab, but the system folders and files sound the same as my at&t tab. What I did was create a folder and moved the boot animation.zip, and the .qmg files in there, then moved the duke animation into the system/media folder.
Hi guys!
I've been searching for the default bootloader of P3100 but I wasn't able to find it. I forgot to back it up before flashing CM10
Anyone who has one or is currently using the stock rom and can upload the bootanimation.zip? Thanks!
It's not bootanimation.zip on the stock rom

Oh is that it. My apologies!
Then what is it?
http://www.file-extensions.org/qmg-file-extension
good day.
So the question is: How do you restore the bootsamsung.qmg, bootsamsungloop.qmg (or whatever is needed) instead of the bootanimation.zip?
Make a nandroid backup first and try app like root explorer or root browser lite and try to replace the files but make a backup of files that will be replaced first you could search for files within these apps i do not know exactly the path of them
Sent from my GT-P5100 using xda app-developers app
The files bootsamsung.qmg, bootsamsungloop.qmg are still present in these ROMs, in the correct location. When I remove the bootanimation.zip, I get the standard "ANDROID" flashing startup, which I actually prefer to the ones baked in by ROM devs. However, I would like to know how to get the stock animation back.

As it stands with Samsung ics. The custom bootanimation is a kernel thing. You would have to re enable it in the kernel. Or swap boot.IMG from one of prerooted roms with whatever boot.IMG in the Rom your using. It's in the init.rc you can prolly do it with root explorer.
hello all. i got a friend to send me their international qmg files for the boot animation. these files do not have the at&t Logo in it. here is a link to the zip file that has the qmg files inside it. just extract the zip. you need to be rooted for this. then go to system/media with a root explorer and rename bootsamsung and bootsamsungloop qmg files to .bak. then copy the files inside the zip to that location. make sure to change the file permissions to rw-r--r--. then reboot.
you can also get rid of that circle animation during the shutdown animation if you rename shutdownloop.qmg to .bak. this will make only the samsung logo show during shutdown.

When downloading the file under Windows, make sure you uncheck "Download with Dev-Host Download Manager" and also make sure you choose "Download Now" instead of "Download." If you try to download any other way, you'll find malware.
Hi
Hi I could hear someone spending poweroff.ogg the poweron.ogg the bootsamsung.qmg, bootsamsungloop.qmg and shutdown.qmg originals of at&t please
Remember to wipe cache after applying. At first I didn't and it caused long boot and system process failed to start dialog. Then black screen with only top notification bar pull down. I rebooted into recovery and wiped cache... Everything all good.
EDIT: I don't know why, but when I did this on my G900A is caused massive hang, and random bootlooping on Lollipop. It makes no sense as it is just a gif and an audio file being switched out. But sure as $h!t I deleted the new files and restore the backup and everything works flawless again.
Worked like a charm

Did anybody find a way to use zip files for boot animations rather than the qmg files?
I have tried replacing the "animation" file (located in /system/bin/) with many different files from different forums but still no luck. I always end up with no boot animation startup.
I even tried with the files (animation and bootanimation.zip) from treble Lineage GSI rom but still no luck (sigh)
If anyone knows a way please share your knowledge.
I believe this requires root so you can make the root directory read/write capable.

I appreciate your answer.
But what I'm looking for is a way to make native android boot animations work and not samsung proprietary ones. (the zip instead of qmg).
I went through posts like the ones you mentioned a hundred times while searching for what I needed.
I think no one has figured it out yet.
I wish I were a dev to knows how stuff works in coding world.

on samsung phones zip is just a flashable package that copies the animations(qmg) to the proper directory and sets permissions
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/themes/bootanimations-best-collection-t3780219
not sure what devices these work on but its just zip file with 3 folders with .jpg in it creating each frame of the animation. theres a text cue file with resolution and fps info.
samsung animation are much more difficult to make( need special software )

The zip file you mentioned is for aosp and lineage roms (or any rom that supports native boot animation).
There used to be something called native boot animation enabler for samsung phones back in lollipop and marshmallow days for samsung stock firmwares. This made it possible to use zips like the ones you mentioned as boot animation instead of qmg. But nowadays I can't find any similar trick. I think samsung changed a lot of stuff making it impossible to enable them in oreo and pie.
