Step 1 :

Place the files "samsungani" and "bootanimation" in /system/bin

Make sure these files have execute permission (-rwxr-xr-x)

Step 2 :

Place "sanim.zip" in /system/media

This file contains the boot animation. You can use bootanimation.zip file from other threads but they should be renamed to sanim.zip to work properly.

ex thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1053250

Step 3 :

Remove "bootsamsung.qmg" and "bootsamsungloop.qmg" from /system/media

As a standard good practice, you can keep a backup of these files somewhere on your sdcard/pc.

Step 4 :

Reboot and enjoy !

Note : This works on my Samsung Galaxy R with 2.3.5 stock rom.

Will this work on stock kernel??

this method is for Stock ROM only, so try it should work flawless with stock kernel also....

That works like a charm man....thanks to thee...[COLOR="Silver"]

This is the best way to go about changing your stock boot animation I must say. Let me add a few points of caution though:
1. Backup the following files:
A."samsungani" and "bootanimation" in /system/bin(and note down their stock permissions) before overwriting them with the new ones.
B."bootsamsung.qmg" and "bootsamsungloop.qmg" from /system/media before you delete them. In case anything goes wrong you can still get back to stock things
2. Change permissions of "samsungani" and "bootanimation" that you copy in /system/bin to (-rwxr-xr-x) as mentioned. I'm telling this because not many will bother to check the permissions.
3. Finally rename the bootanimation.zip file to sanim.zip only before you paste it in /system/media. Make sure that sanim.zip contains only part0, part1 folders and a desc file.

This doesn't work on a number of other Samsung devices, because the compiled bootanimation program in this bundle refers to non-existent shared libraries on certain devices. Here's how to check if that's the case on your system:

1. Install the bootanimation file from this package into /system/bin/bootanimation.test

2. Make sure it has 755 permissions (rwxr-xr-x).

3. Use a terminal emulator program to go into su, and then navigate to /system/bin

3. Issue this command:

./bootanimation.test

4. If you see any errors referring to "reloc_library" which end with "CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE", then this bootanimation executable will not work, because it refers to one or more non-existent shared libraries on your device.

Suggestion: relink this new bootanimation executable as a static binary and resubmit it here. This will ensure that it doesn't try to run any shared libraries on the current device. I don't know if this kind of static linking is possible under Android, although it's a technique that often works to solve these kinds of problems under Unix/Linux.

Another issue with this method:

On my phone (Galaxy S Relay 4G) and probably also on other Samsung devices, the system overwrites /system/bin/samsungani with the original version upon every reboot. This prevents the altered samsungani executable from running.

Thank you very much! But will Ardatdat's kernel (mentioned in that thread) work with a rooted Galaxy S Relay 4G (T699)? This is a newly released phone, and I don't want to brick it with an incompatible kernel.

... or is Ardatdat's kernel not an essential part of this process?

PS: there is now a confirmation in that thread that Ardatdat's kernel will indeed not work on the T699. I think I'm just going to have to wait for a custom ROM for this device.

Yes buddy, ardadat kernel is not compatible with ur phoNE. so wait and then try out this one.
