I've been searching for and learning about custom boot animations for my Sprint SG4. I'm running Sacs custom 4.4.2 rom, NAE. It's rather bewildering for a newb like me, but I think I've figured out how to actually display custom boot animations.
I came across this thread explaining how to create a custom boot animation in the qmg format:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/how-to-make-change-boot-shutdown-t2224639
So that seems straight forward enough. Should this work with the Sprint GS4?
Are there any good lists of boot animation collections? There are a number of custom animations out there but they seem to be scattered around. Is there a more comprehensive list somewhere?
If I understand the above thread correctly I should be able to take any custom animation I find and modify it to work as a qmg file.
Seems like something fun to waste my time on...:laugh:
Here's some, there's a bunch out there.

Rom Toolbox has a bunch. Some are better than others. I'd be curious to see what you make.

Thanks for the link. Does ROM Toolbox work with Samsung devices that use the qmg extension for boot animations?
In any event, I've found a flashable zip that enables the use of bootanimation.zip files for the boot animation instead of qmg. This way is much easier. The link in the OP is for creating custom boot animations using Samsung Theme Designer (qmg).
I think I'll post a tutorial sometime soon showing how to use bootanimation.zips on the S4 (instead of qmg). I spent the last several days searching, searching, searching for something that turned out to be surprisingly easy to do but the info just wasn't all together or concise.

The boot ani creation thing I've had on the back burner for a long time. I keep getting distracted by other things. I don't know much about the qmg process yet, I just use roms/kernel combos that support custom anis. I have this evil dead gif animation of a crawling hand I'm dying to use as a boot animation so I should start reading up.

How often do you reboot though..?Also, its like a 5 second animation..
And I personally HATED that loud obnoxious t-mobile jingle.
I give that a +1.

Me too, did you find the answer to this question? I am trying to find it and can't seem to find it anywhere. I don't want that android talking voice. I would much rather have the original tmobile jingle.
you need bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg that go in system/media and the shutdown folder that goes in system/media/video
you should be able to pull them out of a stock ROM in the dev section
You can dl any rom including stock 2.1 and pull the animation from it by extracting the .zip
It's in system/media
Replace into rom you want to use and flash away

Those are all stock ROMs.
All will have the stock bootanimaton in them.
TRUE!!!!!!11
Really....because the majority of those ROMs were modified to use the bootanimation.zip. If you read the first one for instance it clearly says "annoying pink animation & shutdown removed" because Team Whiskey removes the .qmg files & the shutdown and replaces it with a bootanimation.zip. The only ones you will get the .qmp files from are ones that are untouched "STOCK" (odex or deodexed) because they don't use a bootanimation.zip they use the .qmg
Maybe you should read a little closer huh

Wow, you really got me there didn't ya ?
Grow up.
I simply did a search for STOCK ROM and pasted the results (but that is way to deep for you because you couldn't figure it out to do that for yourself....right ?).
I could EASILY (like 30 seconds) rip the original boot animation and post it to this thread.....but why should I ?
It's attitudes like yours that prohibit people from going out of thier way to provide things.
Like boot animations.
And now.
I stated fact to people that were asking questions...i don't have a bad attitude and I assure you I am well grown up. Your more than welcome to review any of my posts that reflect my attitude if you'd like. You posted this remark "Ahh indeed, shortsighted are you ?" and I responded back...simple as that.

Nero uses bootanimation.zip, not QMG files.
Yes nero does...but the original boot ..the pink garbage..is a qmg unless someone makes into a bootanimation.zip

There is a rom for the epic called viper that has a sweet boot up/down animation, does anyone know how to dowenload this animation on to a rooted evo usinbg cm6.1.1?
You need to download the rom and copy out the bootanimation.zip which should be in /system/customize/resource or /system/media/. Then use ADB or something like Root Explorer to replace the your current bootanimation.zip. I dont think sound will work with CM6 though.
thanks for the info, would you happen to know of a nice bare bones rom that would allow the sound?
Post it up if you make it happen I would like to check it out.
dglowe343 you are correct the audio doesnt work, i need to find a rom that supports bootanimation audio and is a barebones rom, i love cm6 but this is a feature i'd really like to get....HELP!
What feature does this boot screen have? Its a pre scripted animation

CM roms are the only ones I've heard of that dont support boot sounds. Any other Sense/AOSP roms should support it just fine.

Worth mentioning..
For a client, They wanted the ViperROM boot animation, boot sound, and phone sounds.
I extracted everything but the boot animation sound.. solely because I cant find it, but the boot animation works fine when used with Boot Animation Changer Lite, download any animation, and then stock.
Then goto the SDcard, and replace the bootanim\stock bootanimation.zip file with the one extracted.
Went back into app, and flashed what it thought was the stock animation, and boom. all worked fine.
hope that helps someone

I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure that any rom that stores the bootanimation in system/media, which I believe is all aosp roms, the bootanimation sound will not work. Only roms that store the animation in system/customize/resource will allow for sound on the bootanimation. Which is where its located on most sense roms. Again, I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure that's how it works.

Hey guys and gals one quick question. I am coming from a Samsung Mesmerize to a MT4G, and when i wanted custom boot animations i had to root and the install the Voodoo lagfix.
Do i have to lagfix my MT4G or will it run custom boots after i root?

First you need root some kind of file manager. I use root explorer. Then you download the bootanimation you want. If its not already named bootanimation.zip, rename to that.
If you're using an asop rom like cm7 the bootanimation will be located in system/media, if you're using a sense rom the bootanimation will be located in system/customize/resource. All you do is copy the bootanimation you downloaded and paste it in the correctsponding place depending on the rom you're using. Make sure you switch the permission to r/w before pasting. In root explorer the r/w r/o button is on top.

This thread is for discussion of the boot animations linked below - questions, complaints, comments, feedback etc.
If you have an idea for a boot animation or request? > Post it in this other thread only please <
Preamble: I wasn't going to do this one but I decided 'why not'. It's not my work, of course, but if people get some use out of it then so be it. I did but my own flare on it but other than that, it's just the stock Xoom Bootanime.
XoomPort [Xacer] v.1 *NO TAGS*
XoomPort [Xacer] v.1 is a replacement mod for the stock ANDROID loading logo animation with a touch of Honeycomb colors and flavor.
Ported Xoom boot animation - gR style!
Loops until tab is fully loaded
Should work on any cousins of the a500 running HC @1280x800: eg Eee Pad etc. Use at your own risk, however.
XoomPort [Xacer] v.1
Size @1.8mb :
>Preview a single XoomPort [Xacer] v.1 frame here<
>Download the XoomPort [Xacer] v.1 boot animation attached below<
Want something different!? You have two options here: Android [GEARS] v.1 & v.2
One more here: Acer a500 Boot Animation [CombBar v.1]
And three more here: Acer a500 Boot Animation [v.Clean, v.ACER & v.Full]

Yes, it will work on 3.1.

Did you unzip the file? If you did, you should not. Simply put the bootanimaton.zip file in data/local and it will work.
... what he said.
I'm in the root/system and I don't see the data folder. I tried to flash with CWM like I do with my Epic with no go. Using File Manager HD which sees the root system.
Input greatly needed. Thanks!

If I remember correctly, I found my bootanimation.zip file in root/system/media or something like that. I renamed the original file and placed the new file in the folder.
Still trying. Nothing works. Running Honey Villian 1.05 a/ HV kernel. Tried /data/local and /system/media. Just dropping in each one zipped. Do I need to push it in there?
I'm not really a noob but still learning.

you should not need to 'push' just copy and paste it in the right directory.

It works great as long as your kernel supports it.
Any AOSP ROM will likely work fine.
Stock TouchWiz ROM will NOT support it, nor will Google Edition. At least not with stock kernel.
Even rooted, those kernels require QMG boot animations. Which this app you linked to does not support.
Excellent, thank you very much. I'm on stock everything just rooted. I was gonna try it, but I'm glad I asked.
