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.

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.....
I'm on xxjpy (darky's rom) right now and could someone post galaxy s's original or stock boot animation with sound? thanks.
I can't download it from fileserve and another person posted it on mediafire but it is private or deleted.
Don't reply this, i've found the solution
Would you please share the solution you found?
yeah please share

Why won't it? The original files (at least the boot animation) is still there. If the kernel detects a custom 'bootanimation.zip' then it uses that. If not, it uses default.

Its not a zip file like a custom animation .
Part of the OS drop bootfile animation in and that is read remove it and reverts to stock as first file read .

im running Cognition (latest) and there is no bootanamation.zip
How do I delete the above mods without having to restore to an older backup or flash a new ROM?
I am well versed with the android system and if you tell me to shell rm or delete using root explorer I can... Also I figured out that a few files were replaced while flashing these mods... so any help would be appreciated....
What u can do is unzip the files and see where they are being placed and then delete from root explorer. If any files are being replaced, unzip ur flashable rom and pull the original files and then place in directories, overwriting the modified fikes

You need to flash bootanimationsenabler zip. You might find it on Omega files app but not sure. If not just search it
Then you will be able to flash bootanimation zip files
Okay so I just tried to install xposed on my Xperia Z and it was a success. All you need to do is be rooted. For that, go to this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/super-su-xperia-device-lollipop-easy-t3119006. The procedure mentioned here worked like a charm for me.
Once you are rooted, go to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811. Download the .zip file and the .apk file. Install the .apk file like any other normal .apk file. Unzip the .zip file using any file explorer (I used root explorer). After you've unzipped the files, all you have to do is move and replace them in the system folders and assign correct permissions.
It's not working for me, the installer keeps saying Xposed isn't currently active
I got boot looped with this solution...bummer!

Would it be possible to explain the file copying process in more detail. My Xperia Z crashed whilst copying and overwriting the files into the LIB and now is in a boot loop. Copying the appropriate files to BIN and FRAMEWORK worked fine.

Done! Its working great! In order to work need to set the correct permissions in relevant files.

Did you copy the FRAMEWORK, BIN and LIB files over. My Xperia rebooted whilst copying the LIB files over and the went into bootloop.
Busy re-installing lollipop as we speak.
I have installed the files separately (one by one) in the relevant system's paths

I reinstalled the 5.0.2 firmware. Then did the KingRoot and replaced with SuperSU. The I tried to install Xposed followin the above steps and copied file by file like you did, and if I copy the 3rd file in LIB over, the phone reboots and goes into bootloop.

Same, although it rebooted just fine. I then copied the files again, no reboot but also no Xposed.

I'm in a bootloop again, so off to re-install lollipop...again. Becoming quite a pro at installing and rooting it now This time around, I had a clean install of 5.0.2 without any updates from Play Store. Also did a KingRoot and the replaced it with Super SU before trying to install Xposed. Not sure how @alexfra got it installed...lucky bum!
Okay do the following, copy the LIB files in the root of the system folder and assign the correct permissions. After you've done that, cut and paste the LIB files in to the LIB folder. That will work for sure. Check images for further assistance. Also check image of Gravity Box attached. Everything running great. Hope it works for you too.

Succeeded with my Xperia Z on official Lollipop ! Thanks !
To all who have troubles : take good care to the PERMISSIONS !!! If you don't change permissiosn IT WON'T WORK !
For LIB folder files use the method described before :
- extract to /system
- change permission to rw-r--r-- (or 0644 in octal)
- move files to /system/lib
For bin folder files permission are rwxr-xr-x (or 0755 in octal) and for framework folder it's rw-r--r-- (or 0644 in octal)
If you don't do EXACTLY this, Xposed won't work !

I did this on my third try over the weekend. Copied the LIB files into system, changed the permissions and the moved the files one by one. Reboot and bootloop occured when moving libart.so.
1) What file manager did you use? I used ES File in root explorer mode.
2) Did you move file by file, or move the files all at once or per folder?
3) Do you remember any specific order when moving the files? I just went alphabetically through the folders.
4) Must the .props file also be copied that is in the zip?
5) Did you do a clean install to Lollipop, or was it an upgrade from KK?
Any help would be appreciated

Thanks for your help guys! I figured out what the problem was for me. There were some Xposed files in my lib folder already, I assume from my installation on KitKat (I did not do a clean upgrade). So I removed those, rebooted and presto! Good to have Xposed again

Do you know what the files were so I can check?
Should I not install the Xposed installer APK until I have copied the zipped files in?

Go to /system/lib and search for all the files that are also in the lib folder in the zip and remove them. I already had the Xposed installer installed when I did it, in fact I used it to reboot the system.
I have done,,thanks for guide sir,,

Can anybody comment on which file manager they used to do the copying and setting of permissions and successfully install Xposed? I see the OP used Root Explorer. I personally use ES File Explorer with root mode enabled, but I am thinking that maybe the issue I keep having when copying the files is due to ES File Explorer and maybe I should try Root Explorer.
