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.

I've tried changing my boot animation several times now and I'm stuck at the old boot animation that just says android. I've swapped the zips in system/media and in system/customize/resource. I'm kind of at a loss. I even tried a couple apps that supposedly change it for you. Any help would be appreciated.

did you move or make a backup of the stock bootanimation.zip ?
make sure you verify the permission of the new bootanimation.zip .
When I've tried this in the past the android boot screen would show when I didn't have the file named right, check the file name and also if you can put the boot zip on your CPU make sure it is zipped in store only and not compressed

should be in /system/media/
Make sure the boot animation in system/customize/resource is labelled bootanimation.zip and not VZW_bootanimation.zip,,,,if it is nothing will install unless you rename the boot animation to VZW_bootanimation,,,hopefully that helps it did for me,,,also verify that your permissions are the same as the boot animation currently in there before you swap them out
I know we can change the boot animation, but what about for shutdown animation?
I'm also curious if anyone has successfully changed the boot logo.
I've downloaded ROM Tools but these options are not available (the boot logo is there but not for the note)
no one?

I've done
I changed bootanimation and sound exactly as was descibed for SGS2. It works
You can change shutdown animation by substituting
/system/media/video/shutdown/shutdown.qmg
The problem is that this file type isn't editable nor creatable, I think. So the only think you can do is copying another shutdown animation from another phone/rom.
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.
I was wondering if we can do custom boot animations using a variation of this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2063280? I was looking in the system files and I didn't see the samsungani in the /system/bin folder so I'm not sure if this will work or not.
Dunno if you've searched or not but have you read this thread?

Just a quick browse through it seems that the boot animation is all in one file.
Guys, tell me please how to set my own .gif as boot animation on MIUI. Or how to do boot animation and send it to MI servers for able to download and apply it.
BTW. What are the best boot animations you know? Especially dedicated for MIUI.

i didnt try yet, but go to root folder in android with any root explorer (7zip for example) system-media-bootanimation.zip.
just copy to pc, edit the single pictures and put the single gif pics in there, maybe Photoshop?. just save the single pics. (didn't try it yet, or have a look here http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/change-android-boot-animation/)
I know how to make a boot animation. But I can't replace new boot animation with the old one. I have root and file explorer with root access but I still can't replace or remove anything from "/" folder.
Whatever. Tell me how to send any theme to MIUI Theme Market to make it possible to download by anyone.
