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.
search the forum for more info on how to..
Maybe I'm just not remembering correctly, but I thought that out of the box the bootanimation would play the DROOIIIID sound byte. I haven't seen this since it I started swapping roms. Anyone know how to get this back?
i believe you were hearing the sd card notification, where the default sound would have been droid right out of the box.
may be wrong though
It was part of the original boot animation, sbf'ing and using root explorer to find boot animation.zip in system/media will get it back but here's the link to the download: http://www.mediafire.com/?y3tvq34aboutinj,
not sure if its complete. Unzip it and open the desc.txt file with text editor. The sound file is the Droid.ogg file. The desc.txt file also contains guidelines for changing or customizing the sound file or other files. This can also be done in absolute system app by importing the bootanimation.zip and opening the bootanimation.zip editor and then using the desc.txt editor. Both ways can be used to adjust size, fps, loop properties and sounds. I will write up an instruction thread and post it in the dev forum once I successfully create a custom (sound).ogg file and apply it to a bootanimation.zip and get it to work.

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).
I've changed bootanimations before on other devices, but the file was always called "bootanimation.zip." Looking at the files in the SGS5, I see 3 different "boot*.qmg" files, but no "bootanimation.zip."
Since we don't have a custom recovery yet, I'm hesitant to rename the *.qmg files and drop in a "bootanimation.zip" I created for my SGS4 into the same folder. Is there some new way to replace bootanimations on an SGS5 due to the *.qmg file extension, or it's safe to just rename/delete the *.qmg files and drop in the "bootanimation.zip" file into the appropriate folder?
I'd hate to get stuck in a bootloop and have to odin back to stock only to be unable to fully "restore" my phone's settings afterwards (yes, I have TiBu & other apps that'll allow me to restore, but it's certainly not as easy or as complete as restoring a nandroid backup).

Thank you very much for the direction. While I'll give it a shot a later, that still won't allow me to replace the default bootanimation w/ the ones I've previously created. The bootanimation.zip files I want to use only contain *.png files (the *png's are in "part0" folder and there is a desc.txt file in the parent directory). There are no *.qmg files in those zip's to extract, so that process won't work for me & the bootanimations I'm trying to use.
Any other ideas, or is my only option to use something like the Samsung Theme Designer process? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696914)

Contact the maker of the OP of the thread with the boot animations, I'm pretty sure he/she can help you out converting the files. It's been done before in that thread.

What the heck, man. Stop helping me so quickly! :laugh:
Thanks again!!
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.
