I have rooted my SGS and would like to change the boot animation to the original. I have already got the original boot animation .png files but I do not know how to replace it to current animation files.
Anybody?
if they are in the .qmg format, then i think you have to push your .qmg file to
system/media/
if they aren't then you have to make an update.zip file and put the files in appropriate folder and update your phone.
search the forum for more info on how to..

Does anyone know how to make a boot animation? I haven't rooted my phone (yet!), but I wanted to make my own boot animation. What would be the easiest way to do this?
you can replace the bootanimation.zip from folder "system\customize\resource".
Bootanimation
If you have rooted the phone you could replace the standard bootanimation executable with Cyanogen's. That one allow for more flexibility for custom animation. Cyanogen's boot animation's are series of PNG files of certain size placed in a single zip file. There is also a small description file that allows for setting up loops and have different frame rates for different pieces of the animation.
Just make sure that when you compiling the zip file you specify zero compression option (store).
Can anyone tell me how to change the boot animation to the orginal mytouch 4g animation ?
I recently flashed virtuous unity 2.35 rom. It works great, but i really miss my original mytouch boot animation.
Please help, I need boot & shutdown animations......
In my opinion.. the easiest way to replace the boot animation is to use Root Explorer (or other r/w file explorer). Just navigate to the system/media directory. Then rename the bootanimation.zip file to old and copy it to your sdcard. Then place the bootanimation.zip file that you are going to use in the system/media directory. After you verify that the new animation works you can delete your backup if you like.
But i need the original boot animation files to replace the virtuous unity animations.
Is there any way to find it? Do anyone have a link?

Post 34...just rename and replace file as stated in post above yours....
The bootanimation on Sense ROMs resides in /system/customize/resource/ rather than /system/media.
I was looking for a change in scenery so I flashed this:

But anyway, I didn't backup the stock boot animation files and I would like to go back to the old Verizon S5 boot animation but I cannot find them anywhere so I am requesting someone with root access to share the stock boot animation files.
Btw if you don't know, the files I'm looking for are:
bootsamsung.qmg
bootsamsungloop.qmg
shutdown.qmg
These are located in system/media

Hello,
I have previously owned many android devices in changing the boot animation only require me to replace 'bootanimation.zip' on '/system/media' but as far as my knowledge it is not the same with S5.
I refered a guide onlline and they require me to flash a zip file after which I will be able to change the boot animations as normal (link: http://gs5.wonderhowto.com/how-to/easily-change-boot-animations-your-samsung-galaxy-s5-0157380/ )
I flashed the file and downloaded a bootanimation that is XXHDPI (1080*1920) and placed it in /system/media, renamed it as 'bootanimation.zip' and changed the permissions read,write for owner and all other as just read.
Now when I reboot my device just skips the bootanimation, someone please help

please help me i want to change my boot animation... thanks
Samsung's Touchwiz doesn't support bootanimation.zip but the QMG format. Search the S4 Themes and Apps subforum as there is a thread with custom boot animations in it that are compatible with Touchwiz. One of those should work for you. Otherwise you have to make your own, which requires Samsung software on the PC.
