I. Introduction

As you know Samsung Stock Roms uses a special .qmg for the bootanimation but the procedure that converts all the bootanimation.zip to .qmg ones doesn't give good results getting a low quality bootanimation.

Android uses a binary called bootanimation to run the bootanimations, and it is situated inside the system/bin folder, Samsung has modified this binary in order to get it working with .qmg files.

-Why don't we restore the native bootanimation.zip support?


II. Requirements

This mod has been tested on many samsung devicesl!

These are all the requirements required to add the spport for the Native Android Bootanimations:

• Samsung device
• Rooted Smartphone
• Recovery Installed (TWRP or CWM)
  

II. Installation guide (THROUGH RECOVERY)

The installation procedure is really easy because i've made a simple zip that makes everything accessible!

Perfrom the following steps:

1. Download the proper zip according to your android version from the second post
2. Reboot your smartphone to the recovery and install the downloaded zip
3. Now you have the Native Android bootanimation.zip support

Now, once you reboot your smartphone, you will see the stock Android Bootanimation.

Did you get a softbrick?
-My zip automatically creates a zip that allows to restore the previous bootanimation binary. Reboot to recovery and install the StockBootanimationRestorer.zip inside the /vr-theme folder and report your device, please


III. Bootanimation.zip installation guide

Now as you have the bootanimation.zip support you have to look for a bootanimation style repository, and inside XDA i've found this useful thread:
[BootAnimation & Shutdownanimation] MASSIVE G3 Collection <<Over 66+>> 10/9/14 -> (Thanks @KachowPow)

Easy procedure to install bootanimations.zip :

1. Download the style you like from the thread posted above or alternative sources
2. Download the Flashable_Bootanimation.zip schema and extract it
3. Open the /system/media folder and put the bootanimation.zip that you have downloaded (Do not extract the animation.zip)
4. Compress all the folders (META-INF & /system) in zip without any compression or other options
5. Copy the compressed zip inside your phone memory and begin with the installation procedure via Recovery
6. Reboot and ENJOY!

On your Note 4 by default you have the bootanimation with Fireworks, and if you wanna install custom bootanimations you have to create them (in .qmg) losing a lot of quality. With this guide now you can install all the bootanimations you want.

Follow the guide and then choose the bootanimation you like from here Bootanimations 1440 x 2560 repository by KachowPow @ XDA

THREAD UPDATED - ALMOST ALL SAMSUNG DEVICES SUPPORT AND ANDROID OS

Well, lately users do not read long threads! :')

Anyway i made an update on the topic adding the support for almost all samsung devices and android os.

Lemme know your device model if it has worked or not!

After flashing the zip for KitKat on my g355h, the splash screen was shown up (as always) but it continued up until the home screen.....no boot animation. Also there is a pre-installed bootanimation.zip in /system/media/here, that came with the stock firmware......

EDIT:
It works for Galaxy J5. just installed a cyanogenmod bootanimation, works fine. Thanks Jertlok for this amazing mod!

Downloaded bootanimation.zip, placed it into media, made a zip, copied it over to my phone and if i wanna flash it say, that it can not find update binary in the meta inf folder; i looked it up in the folder and it was there, seemed to be broken, and before all this i installed the mm native bootanimation supprt(per given zip)
any suggestions?

when i tried it with the MM flasshable zip(for example), it worked

i got it work by replacing the files in system/media, its okay
secondly, is there a way to change the boot splash screen and/or the shutdownanimation??
probably this only works on aosp roms...

 

[ShaDisNX255]

I have a Note 3 with a Note 7 port, so I flashed the MM zip.
Does not work unfortunately, stays in the initial Samsung Galaxy Note 3 screen and jumps straight to lock screen (it skips boot animation entirely)
I dunno if I should blame this on the bootanimation itself or that I am using a custom ROM
Any suggestions?

 

[WaleedH]

Does this work on stock firmware with root and custom recovery?

 

[TheCharlie17]

Works perfectly on Note3neo (sm-n7505), is there any way to also change the shutdown animation ?
