Can someone please advise how I restore the default boot animations on the OMEGA rom? I have downloaded the file from the OMEGA files fileserver.
I tried placing the bootanimation.zip in /system/media and also tried to use install from TWRP.
I have tried searching but not finding the exact procedure.
Thanks

First, if you've tried flashing a .zip via TWRP or other recovery and your phone now goes blank between the S4 logo and the full boot you might have to contend with a broken boot animation... Personally it bothered me so much I reflashed Omega lol.
I downloaded on my phone the Samsung S5 boot/Shutdown animations.
Using E/S File explorer I first renamed the following files on the phone:
"/system/media/bootsamsung.qmg" => "/system/media/bootsamsung.qmg.old"
"/system/media/bootsamsungloop.qmg" => "/system/media/bootsamsungloop.qmg.old"
"/system/media/shutdown.qmg" => "/system/media/shutdown.qmg.old"
I decompressed the S5.zip archive.
I copied from the archive "S5.zip/system/media/bootsamsung.qmg", "S5.zip/system/media/bootsamsungloop.qmg" and the "S5.zip/system/media/shutdown.qmg" into /system/media
Again using ES file explorer I set one by one the new file attrubutes so that they would be -wr-r--r--
Reboot the phone and voila - new boot animation.
If this works you can then delete the .old files in /system/media
If you want to load other boot animations there are enablers and disablers for the bootanimation.zip but I stayed clear as I want mine as standard as possible.

Reflashed the rom then followed your instructions to replace it with the original Samsung boot and shutdown animations.

Well i have a Samsung Vibrant rooted with OCLF and running Launcher Pro. I tried to change my boot screen which i read up on here before doing. I read on this forum theres is 2 ways to actually do it, which is using the command on your pc which im not too good with codes so i tried the 2nd option which is to copy and paste using the Root Explorer. So i copied the bootanimation.zip from SD card while on mount r/w and paste it to system/media and then reboot. I still have the stock boot up not sure if i did something wrong, this is my 1st android phone which i like way better than my Icrap so any help will be appreciated.

Why dont you give this a try
USE THE GALAXY I9000 BOOTUP / SHUTDOWN ANIMATIONS & SOUND
rko did an awesome job with these flashable bootup/shutdown animations (place them on the /sdcard (internal memory) NOT sdcard/sd (external). Be sure and thank him for his work!

Thanks to s15274n
i tired it it doesnt work either comes up with error code
You have to have a rom that has a hacked kernel that allows for support of bootanimation.zip the stock vibrant rom does not have this ability (Thankyou Samsung), so simply putting the file in the correct folder will do nothing if you don't have the kernel that utilizes it. Currently there are 2 roms that will work with this:
Obsidian V2 - JK2 Official Froyo Based 2.2
or
Froyo Macnut R10
you put the .zip files in /system/media which is NOT the right way of doing it
extract the zip file anywhere on your desktop and copy the bootsamsung.qmg into your internal sdcard.
then run root explorer on your phone, copy the same .qmg file from your sdcard into /system/media folder

A bootanimation.zip is a zip with a series of images in it, there is no qmg in it. The OP was not asking about the qmg I don't think. He wants to be able to use his own bootscreens which cannot be done with qmg, only with bootanimation.zip and a hacked kernel.

obviously you didnt read what op said:

meaning hes dropping the whole zip file into /system/media through root explorer
i just told him the proper way of doing it as it was discussed here
the only mistake i did was use the "bootanimation.zip" as reference
since OP didnt even mention where he got the bootanimation.zip and i assumed things
im sorry about the confusion
ok sorry for the confusion and i thank you both for the responses.Lets see if i can explain it a little better.(It wont let me post a link but i found it here on XDA which is the THC boot up) the bootanimation.zip file i was trying to use which does not have the qmg for me to extract so i tried to put in system/media which did not work. Then i tried chichu_9 boot up screen which he recommended and did exactly as motoyola did which i extracted the qmg file and put in sd card (not external) then copy/paste into system/media which replaced the stock qmg file for the vibrant then i reboot and still stuck with the stock boot up screen. I am currently running Eugenes leaked 2.2 rom which works pretty good so far just cannot change boot screens for some reason so if i missed something or did something incorrect pls feel free to correct me and thanks in advance.....
hi there i wanted to know if someone can help me change my boot animation and sound im am on cyanogenmod-7-08162011-nightly-buzz
ok, download boot animation, extract bootanimation.zip from it / download zip and rename it to bootanimation.zip if the only thing it contains is pictures and text file and copy it to data/local using root explorer or anything else thats capable of doing it, reboot and check if it works, done
How do you change the boot animation from a ROM like Taboonay or Honeyvillain?
Download the boot animation to your desktop,then copy it to your microsd card or your zip drive,then go to your tab ,open a program like root explorer,go to the folder with the boot animation,copy,navigate to data/local and paste the boot animation to that folder,make sure you rename it to:bootanimation.zip.Thats it,reboot and there should be a new boot screen.

Moved to Q&A
I was looking for a change in scenery so I flashed this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=54633858
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

Researched a bit about this but almost all tutorials are saying that you can just replace the bootanimation.zip found in /system/media. So I did. But there was no media folder in /system. So I scoured my whole root folder and found that bootanimation.zip is located in /lbh/media for tn7 devices (or at least mine) . So I tried to replace that. Rebooted the device but no boot animation played. and yes I did apply the proper permission for the zip file. So I just reapplied the stock animation. I did this manually btw. Am I doin' something wrong? Need help.
nevermind. fixed it.
