Bootanimation.zip support on lollipop ? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, is there a way to enable bootanimation.zip support on stock tw lollipop ?

In simple language, no.
At one point, rumors were that Samsung was finally ditching the QMG container for Android 5.x and going with standard ZIP files. This isn't the case. The QMG format is still required, meaning none of the bootanimation.zip files out there, including my own, will work on Touchwiz without being recreated in QMG format. Note that I say "recreated" and not "converted", because each image in a QMG file must be at full size. In the case of my boot animation, that would mean the QMG file was some 300MB in size.
Too large for a QMG.

How to change boot animation for rooted SGS?

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.

Boot Animation

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).

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.

Custom Boot Animation not working

Hey, first of all. I have root and TWRP installed.
Tried to make an custom boot animation (converted from .gif to .zip,containing 19 frames.) moved it to system/media and replaced it with the custom animation, renamed the custom animation to bootanimation.zip and changed the stock animation to bootanimation.zip1, rebooted and ots still the same. I know i am doing slmething wrong, but what?
Thanks in advance
If you're using a stock ROM, it doesn't support boot animation zips.
As to your zip, the files cannot be compressed, only stored. The text file that controls the settings cannot be edited using Windows notepad.

Converted the gif via Boot Animation(s) app. So i need to install a custom rom like CyanogenMod?
I forgot to mention the individual frames of the boot animation also must either be in .jpg or .png format. An AOSP ROM is required to use the bootanimation, unless you want to play around with Samsung's boot animation creator.

Going to try Boot animation factory (since boot animation creator is outdated) also, my pics are in .jpg

When compressing the images use the "store" option.
Also, make sure the zip is structure correctly.
When opening the zip you should have part0, part1 and desc.txt.
Those files should be in the root of the zip, not in other folders.
