Does someone know how to get bootanimation.zip support for the Galaxy Note 8 (SM-N950F). I tried various flashable ZIP files which changed the binary (like bootanimation4u) but they haven't worked. After flashing I rebooted but the screen stays black. No bootanimation, until it has finished up booting into Samsungs OneUI.
SM-N950F
OneUI 1.0

Hi there, trying to replace my boot animation with a nexus one version. I have previously achieved it and got it working however since flashin a new rom and attempting to replace the bootanimation.zip file again, it seems to not be working right. Upon boot it displays the animation but flashes white every second or 2, so its working but with some interuption? I have downloading several copies now and they all seem to do the same thing leading me to believe there must be more to it perhaps? I am on Leedroids rom and overwriting the bootanimation.zip file within data/local.
Thanks

Instead of creating a new thread, why don't you ask in Leedroid's thread?

I replaced my bootanimation.zip file in /system/customize/resource using root explorer.
Phone: Galaxy Tab P1000 16G (apparently the Euro Unbranded version)
Baseband: P1000XXJPZ
ROM: Alroger CM10.1 Android 4.2.2 20130913 Unofficial-P1
Kernel: 3.0.94 HumberOS V1.45-00920-g9fcdd44
hi guys
been trying to make my own bootanimation
but for some reason, the file i made would no load
i have tried copying it to system/media using root explorer
i have also tried to use app such as Boot Box to apply the .zip with an app
but not luck, when i reboot to test
it just wouldn't run for some reason.....
i have attached something i put together quickly just for testing
i extract the .zip from the Alroger rom which i'm using now on my phone
then replaced the file in part0 just to see if it runs
did not temp with the desc.txt file
and after i loaded the .zip, and reboot
nothing happens
i've noticed if i make a bootanimation using the function from Boot Box, and load it
it will work
also if i download a bootanimation with an app, and install that
it will also work
but as soon as i extract the file out
make changes (either redesign a few of the frames, or try to change the frame/s speed inside desc.txt)
and put back into the zip file, then reload the bootanimation
it won't load again for some reason
i have been searching the forum and online for whole night trying to find a fix
but non of the suggested ways work help with my situation
can someone please help me out?
Ok so im stuck.
I've tried everything to install a different boot animation on my T-Mobile Note 4.
I tried downloading a file that was titled "CWM_CustomBootanimation_44_Enable.zip"
then going into an XDA thread that had a bunch of "bootanimation.zip"'s and choosing the one I liked.
Downloaded and placed it in my system/media/ folder.
Gave it the right permisions.
But nothing happened... I rebooted the phone and now all i had was just the stock samsung note 4 boot-up, but oddly i was now missing the T-mobile one that would show up right after, although the T-Mo jingle remained.
I kept searching and then found the strategy of just replacing the "bootsamsung.qmg" and "bootsamsungloop.qmg" files.
I found another boot animation i liked with .qmg format.
It came in zip folder and i extracted the 2 files, copied them over and named them like the original files (also adding an "_old" to the titles of the originals incase i ever needed them again)
Gave them the right permissions
Rebooted
And same thing again... just the stock black note 4 screen
At this point i decided to try another .qmg file, but this time for the shutdown animation...
Did pretty much the same run around...
and it worked! so the shut down animation was changed without a hitch.
I went back to the media folder and realized there were other boot files such as "bootsamsungmini.qmg", "bootsamsungminiloop.qmg", "bootsamsungmini2.qmg" and "bootsamsungmini2loop.qmg"
so i tried switching all of them to the 2 .qmg files i originally downloaded, with the right permissions, but nothing... still same stock black boot up.
So now, like i said, I'm stuck...
Should i have just put the whole zip file in the media folder? there were two folders in that zip. One was system/media with the two new boot animations and the other was META-INF/com/google/android/ with two files "update-binary" and "updater-script". Not sure if i have to do anything with these files.
Ive also heard theres an app on the market called Boot Animation but it has lots of mixed reviews, dont feel like going through the hassle of possibly bricking my device now.
And ive never been a custom rom kinda guy so i dont want to switch roms just for a boot animaion.
Any help would be appreciated thanks.
Anyone?
Most system/media files contain a bootanimation.zip folder. Make sure you delete it or when you put in the new qmg the system will boot from the zip file before the extracted qmgs
Warning!! Do this at your own risk. I will not be responsible for bricking your device
My mate 9 pro is rooted. 128gb internal and 6gb ram Chinese AL00. Until I rebranded to c636:laugh:
Must have root explorer but the boot animation zip is found in Product/etc/media. For some reason I don't need to change permissions on my device but my new boot animation works well. My laptop is down so I can't upload my fav animation zips but you can download pretty much any boot animation from Rom toolbox which is on playstore.
Download file, eg honeycomb.zip and rename it to boot animation.zip and place it in the above mentioned directory. move the original to otg or sd card just in case and try and change permissions anyway but my devices original boot animation doesn't have any permissions at all and yet it works.
If this works for you and your able to customise your phone a little more, hit the thanks button. If not.......... Whoops!
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.

You are right this requires root and all the modifications I mentioned above are using root.

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.
