Use rom toolbox to install or rename to bootanimation.zip and place in system/media using root explorer

Note rom toolbox defaults to data/local
This directory will work too but if u cwm flash another boot ani later, it will not take, data/local has priority, so change it in rom toolbox or pull the bootanimation out of the cwm zip [zip within a zip]

You must also
Navigate to system/media
Delete or rename bootsamsungloop.qmg and bootsamsung.qmg
Navigate to system/bin
Delete or rename samsungani
Rename bootanimation to samsungani

Update, the previous segment dose not need to be done in most if not all roms for this device now.

Update, That also means that the following will not restore stock boot animation if that is the case.

Now if you want to revert back to stock
Rename samsungani to bootanimation
Take _bk off the ends of the three other files.
If you deleated the files see the links at the bottem of the post.

To add stock shutdown to a rom rename bootsamsung.qmg to shutdown.qmg and place in system/media/video

You may haft to make the folder called video

IMPORTANT NOTE: TO DO BOOT ANIMATION MODS NO CHANGE OF PERMISSIONS IS NECESARY

Update, spinning mario not working.

Further note, you can resize any png img boot ani using desc
If the imgs r jpeg you must convert them to ping then edit the desc, or resize every img if that did not work.
Imgs with transparancys MUST BE RESIZED
Change first two values in desc to 720 1280
Zip part0 and other parts n desc.txt to root of zip, using winrar and make sure its a .zip and your just storing, no compression
DO NOT ZIP THE PARENT DIRECTORY
THAT IS EXTREAMLY IMPORTANT
ONLY ZIP THE FOLDERS PART0 ECT AND DESC.TXT TO THE ROOT OF THE ZIP

Files to revert to stock

These two files go in system/media
Bootsamsung.qmg.qmg

Bootsamsungloop.qmg

These two files go in system/bin

If its 720x1280 it will work regardless of phone make or model also since the imgs are pngs the desc file can be changed to your screen resolution n they will work. Tested on note ii, samsung precedent, and htc evo and inspire.

Ill generate some gifs now.

Find me a converter that spits out qmg
There may be a way to use a folder full of png imgs as well or a shutdown.zip it will be a manual install tho.

I will be adding cwm installs in the comming weeks.

If anyone has a gif they want a boot ani send me a dropbox file [make sure their not to small] and you must cite me the source of your animation. First come first serve on personal request. Work for rom boot animations get cutsies

to set the boot ani you have to delete a few files and rename some files. I would just love a little app that "does this" with a click so I can then just use rom toolbox to install whatever ani I want :)

When I make the cwm installs you can flash one of those and it will do that work and then just use rom toolbox

Make sure ur rom toolbox is pointed to system/media it defaults to data/local. If u have already been using rom toolbox go and delete this file

Thanks for this info, OP.

Will this also replace the "static" Samsung graphic screen that displays before the animation?

If it doesn't, can you direct me to instructions that explains how to replace it with my own?

Thanks in advance.

splash is kernel and it should be changeable. they got a fix for it on the S3 but I am pretty sure its not nearly the same CPU in the two (S3 Note II) so it likely won't work for us till someone makes a similar fix for us.

I am a little confused about the stepsi have to take to change the boot animation. I understand about deleting the files in system/media and system/bin but it's unclear to me what to do work the downloaded boot animation. Am I just renaming the file to"bootanimation"and putting it in system/media?

Second question is will this get rid of the boot sounds if the downloaded bootanimations are silent?

just install rom roolbox. once you delete and rename the files you can just tell rom toolbox to install whatever boot animation you want.

I tried doing all these things manually with root explorer. I did everything as per the OP's instructions. I downloaded the alien animation and renamed it to bootanimation.zip and put it in system/media and renamed it to samsungani and put it in system/bin. When my phone boots I still have the annoying sprint audio boot but my animation is a blacked or screen.

    Well, I'm no graphics design artist, but I did make a new boot animation for my Note II. Not sure how to export it as a gif, but here's the video that it's from.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS1cLOIxsQ8&t=0m27s

    It'll definately put you into a good mood every time you restart your phone! :laugh:

    PS: Created in Boot Animation Factory, flashed via Rom Toolbox.

    ok, make a boot ani from gif 101
    get gif cutter.exe for windows
    open giff and cut.
    now get photoshop and resize each img to 720x1280 and save as a png
    now put all that in folder called part0
    now pull a desc.txt from another boot ani and repace the first two values with 720 and 1280
    put all that in a folder called bootanimation [bootanimation/part0 &desc.txt]
    now get winrar
    now open bootanimation folder and select both desc.txt and part0
    rightclick
    add to archive
    choose zip and store only
    put that zip in system/media after following the op instructions for file renaming [if on saber kernel you do not need to rename, but perseous and bullet kernels you must rename]

    reboot

    as a caution before you replace bootanimation with an untested one, makr a backup [if the boot dosent load you must restore cuz it wont kick to your lock screen]

    if you do all this and no luck. let me know and i will try, but you try forst and see if you get this to work.


    as for led colors there are apps on this forum and in play store to solve this. happy hunting.

    just search for "led color" or "led notifacation" in play store

    First. Did u change the names or deleate the files in the op?
    Boitanimation must be renamed samsungani in those directions but u can delet the rest
    To disable sound for poweron/poweroff you need to look in system/media.
    To disable shudown thats in media/video

    Names are what they do

    Now your boot

    Put it on ur computer
    Unzip it
    Check to make sure the imgs are 720x1280, if they are not you MUST change them to this.
    Then change the first two values in the desc txt to 720 1280
    Then select the part folder and desc.txt and right click and add to archive [I use winrar.
    Then at that screen choose zip, choose store only under compression.

    [Note png files that have no transparancys you may he able to just change the desc file size notes, key word may; jpg you MUST RESIZE EVERY IMG]

    Now drop that into system/media

    Go check data/local

    Make sure theres not a boot ani their [or u can use this location too, it will work]

    And presto your boot animation should work

    If u do all of this and still have problems, pm me. Because these are the steps I take for all my boot animations and mine 99% work on various devices [8bit mario gave me some trouble <transparancys>]

    I hope this clears up some problems for you do it yourselfer boot ani lovers

    Ohh side note

    Gif splitter

    Reaize imgs n save as jpeg or png
    Write a desc.txt or copy n mod one and presto, a boot animation for you
