Samsung Doesn't use a standard bootanimation file or zip, rather it has it in parts,look in the media folder for anything that ends with .qmg.

Yea I know how the boot animation files work on Samsung, I used to edit them all the time on the s3 but they've been moved on the note 3 to somewhere I can't find, I checked the usual places like the media folder and done a search but I can't locate the files. Thanks for trying though.

Yes as can I but not the boot animation the Samsung boot in the media folder once replaced has no effect and I have the omega boot animation running yet it's not in the media folder so where is it running from? This is what I mean I can't find the folder they run from I know some are in the media folder but when I replace them in the media folder it has no affect on the boot and the custom boot is not in the media folder it's doing my head in, I'll work it out on my own eventually, I was just hoping someone had the same issue and solved it.

This is a collection of audio files from several ROMs from several phones, including:
CDMA Hero - 1.5
CDMA Hero - AOSP 2.1
CDMA Hero - Sense 2.1
Motorola Stock
Samsung Stock
There are almost 200 different sounds in this collection! Tons of variety!
Also note that this frees up some space in your /system partition! Always a good thing!
Copy the .zip posted and flash it just like any other update.zip. This will delete your current system/media/audio folders (with the exception of ui) and place the repository on your sdcard. BE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH SPACE ON YOUR SDCARD BEFORE FLASHING THIS!
Updates:
Included additional sounds from here
Created an update.zip to automagically delete current system files

Gregalous said:
IThe .zip posted contains a folder called media. To use the sounds, unzip the attached file to your tools folder and from ADB:

There is no need to put the files in /system/
You can make a /media folder on the SD card and it works the same... *AND* the files won't get hosed with every ROM reflash.

I tried that first but then all the files show up in your Music player. I also tried putting a .nomedia file in the folder but then they didn't show up at all.
This is the only way I've found that works completely.
Dont put it in your system folder. Create a /media/audio/notifications or /media/audio/ringtones folder on your sdcard. My ringtones and notifications are seen in these folders.
Gregalous said:
I have created a collection of notifications, ringtones, alarms, and general UI sounds from every ROM that I have ever used (1.5, 1.6 and 2.1 w/ & w/o Sense) all into one folder. This gives you a huge amount of choices for ringtones, notification sounds, etc.
The .zip posted contains a folder called media. To use the sounds, unzip the attached file to your tools folder and from ADB:
Code:
adb remount
adb push media /system/media/
Give it just a second (as there are quite a few of them) and when it's done copying it will tell you. Reboot once finished.
I did not do an update.zip because quite honestly it's much faster and easier to do it through ADB.

Again, the reason I put those instructions up is because when I had tried putting it on my sdcard, the files would show up in the music player.
Besides, you can use the files however you want, I'm not forcing anyone to put them into /system, that was just my recommendation.

You went to phone ringtone/notification ringtone and there wasn't anything there? If done correctly there should be a very long list to choose from.
Did you reboot after pushing?
Ok so after further testing, it turns out that the only files that show up in the music player are the UI sounds. So I just deleted those (since they're all the same in all the ROMs I'm pretty sure, plus no one really cares about those) and now it works just perfectly when you put in your sdcard.
I humbly admit that I was wrong This should work better now, especially for those that were worried about using up /system space.
First post edited with new directions and .zip.
awesome! Thanks so much for making this! After RMing the media files from the system I gained like 20mb's that can be utilized in running apps and such. You're the man!
I tried installing this by putting them on the sdcard, and all of the sounds show up on the list, but everyone option I chose plays the same song on my sdcard :|
Ideas?
did you RM the system files? Mine works fine.

Ya I did, and then I my phone would freeze when anything tried to notify me, and it woudn't mount my sd card :| Good thing i have a sdcard slot in my computer, i had to remove the files and rewrite them to my sdcard. Then it started working. No idea why, but its working
I merged your folder with the original media folder and rebooted but they do not show up...??
in case anyone is having trouble with this, there is a very clear post on how to do this here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5936137&postcount=3236
Updated, nearly 200 sounds in this package now
Now in update.zip format, super easy!
Cool thanks... Will give it a try...
Thanks for posting this.
This may be posted elsewhere...if so, sorry. I replaced the 2 qmg files in /system/media with the attached files. The attached files are the stock i9000 boot animations. I got them from a captivate thread.
So far they seem to work fine, but you should make a backup just in case.
mm0
Guess you have to be rooted, right?
rooted here, not working
What is the best way to copy files over? Could you give more of a noob tutorial on how to do this lol
works great! no more stupid pink crap! I a sooo excited!
The way I did it is as follows. I used root manager to copy the original qmg files to a safe place. I then mounted the phone to my computer copied the new qmgs to the sd card unmounted and used root manager again to put them in the correct place (system/media).
make sure that you extract the two files from the zip. other than that, I did it just like the above posts.
Works perfectly Thanks!!! Any idea where the sound file is? I'd like to replace that with something less "happy"

Go into /system/media and remove bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg ... or replace them with the i9000 files from the ZIP in the post that started this thread.
Thank you!
I copied the files over with root explorer, and everything works fine, except for when the new animation plays, it's very choppy/pixelated. Anyone else?
Could anyone dump the stock unmodified /system/media/audio folder for me?
My sounds got messed up after trying to add my previous ogg files and I'm trying to restore it and see what I did wrong to mess this up.
I was hoping to get the list of all the original sounds and maybe someone could upload them in a zip file here.
Thanks!

The files copied, and I'm still tinkering with permissions that possibly need to be aligned, but nothing plays on the device. File sizes match up with what I saw previously, but Google Play returns with "Couldn't play the track you requested."
Same here... Tried to give it full perm but that didn't work.
Interestingly the same files will play perfectly if moved to another folder...
I'm really hoping not to have to wipe!!!

I got it! Not only is it the file permissions, but the folder permissions have to be correct too. I found the audio folder needs drwxr-xr-x, the alarms, notifications, ringtones, ui need drwxr-xr-x, and then the sounds themselves need -rw-r--r--. It's one by one, but I've successfully gotten lock, unlock and effect tick under the UI folder working again.
Good luck!
U tha man!!!!!
That did the trick.. Actually only needed to change permissions on files.. Folders were still setup fine.
I ended up ssh into the device and chmod 644 * under each folder after enabling to on the system folder.
2min fix!!

No idea about the app you name as I've never used ROM tool box lite. But there are a lot of other Google Play apps that will change your boot animation. Or it's easy to do with a root file browser.
These are the boot animation and shutdown animation files. You can find new ones on XDA or with a Google search. Confirm that the new files have 0644 permissions after you move them to your S5 directory.
/system/media/bootsamsung.qmg
/system/media/bootsamsungloop.qmg
/system/media/audio/ui/poweron.ogg
/system/media/shutdown.qmg

If you mean bootanimation.zip, that format is not used on the S5 unless you've modified the relevant system files to recognize it.

You can read the descriptions of the Play store apps and see if any of them say that they will work with Samsung qmg animations. The bootanimation apps that I have seen only support the bootanimation.zip format which is used on other phone models.
Some of the boot animations can modify your phone's kernel to use bootanimation.zip rather than Samsung qmg files, but a custom kernel will trip your Knox flag if that matters to you. That's mainly a concern in the US where Samsung will invalidate warranties because you modified your kernel. A lot of carriers don't care about Knox and ostensibly Samsung can't deny a warranty in the EU. But if your phone is in warranty, you should look into that issue first.
There are many apps. This one looks like it should work, including changing your kernel for you. I have not used the app personally, I just read the app description.

If your running MOAR grab root explorer and navigate to system/media and replace the bootanimation.zip
Whatever you replace it with rename it to bootanimation.zip, set permissions and reboot

The above post suggests that you are using a custom ROM. You didn't make that point clear, I've never heard of "moar" and you didn't mention that it was a custom ROM. A stock S5 does not use bootanimation.zip, but according to the post above, your ROM has already been modified to use bootanimation.zip files. So you can try that.
It also means that you aren't posting in the ideal forum. You'd be better served posting in your custom ROM support thread or even the Verizon S5 forum.

Okay, now i have three cases with my phone when the phone boots up
1.Hello moto boot animation with sound
In this case my phone works fine (only for few minutes though )
2.Hello moto boot animation without sound
In this, i cant hear any audio from my phone speaker , have to put on my headphones even to answer a call
3.No hello moto animation
Now, its gone, i couldnt use any app related to sound, no music,no calls nothing related to sound, ive to reboot my phone until any of the first two cases to come.
Model:XT1643
Variant:India
Current Rom: nougat 7.0.0(hope ive flashed the perfect stock)
Note: Ive unlocked my bootloader, this problem appeared after some good 20 days
Things that i already did:
1.Factory reset
2.Flashed RR,CM and some other roms
3.Flashed vegito and other kernels
4.Relocked the bootloader
5.Flashed many stock roms
6.All primitives(safe mode,factory mode,clearing cache,wiping dalvik)
7.Saw the logs and found something like
/proc/asound/card---- state failed no such directory found
Now im on my stock rom with bootloader locked.Till yesterday i was in case 2 but phone switched off due to low batter and when i power it on now my phone is back to the worst case 3.
Please help me , i hope xda forums got many android experts and developers
From Case 1 and 2.
I have seen this similar problem (on old Nokia phone), on my phone that happened because of water damage, few drops of water went to jack and it started to show "connected headphone" so it stopped playing music through speaker but worked fine with earphones..
It's rainy season, can you confirm this?
About 3rd case,
it iss un-understandable, can you tell more about that?
Also you have filled half post with what you have done to solve this, i would suggest you to write condition of phone before this happened, what actually you did before this problem started ? This will help others to understand problem..
Edit: about error in log,
Are you still on unlocked bootloader ?
Can you tell, (use any root browser / file manager)
Is there anything in /proc/asound/ ?
In my phone 6 files and card folder (shortcut to msm8952*****) contains other 200+ files...

3rd case i mean moto boot involves
big M moto logo and then hello world and then some animation with sound
in the 3rd case only Moto logo will be shown for some seconds and phone boots up
And yeah, i can confirm that my phone's never been wet
the problem started when i tried rooting my phone, i successfully unlocked the bootloader and flashed wrong supersu file(I was a noob in this stuff back then).ended up in boot loop,Flashed some stock rom available in the net and phone worked perfectly for some days before this problem begun.
Since i dont have root access, i guess i couldnt access /proc/asound/
and now i have a locked bootloader
thanks for your time on replying my post
Warm regards.
Can you try to re-unlock it ?
[It's DARK here, i will not check any threads now, but suggest you to check threads in Q&A section about re-unlocking bootloader after updating to latest firmware, i don't wish any buddy's phone gets damaged, so please check]
Then see /proc/asound/
I will provid one from mine xt1643 if yours is something wrong..
Another question: does this happen with custom ROM too ?
Yeah sure, I will reunlock the bootloader,
Do I have to root my phone or reunlocking is sufficient to see system files?
And one more question
In twrp recovery I found fix se Linux contexts
Can I do that? Safe to do ? Does it have any chance of solving my problem?
Im quite experienced in locking and unlocking bl
I'll do it tomorrow and post the result here.
And yeah same with custom Roms also
