You will need to put in .qmg files as these are the files that touchwiz uses rather than .zips, nothing will be altered with a .zip but if you find a .qmg file anywhere be sure to correctly rename it and give it the correct permissions, it may just be better to look up a more in-depth review as I am still a newbie to altering android using root and stuff, Hope I'm not too late!

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.

Would you please share the solution you found?

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 .

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

Hi!
I would like to create a boot animation that uses the basic J5 bootloop.
I would need you to convert the .qmg to .png and send to me. It's very simple with this app created by @xperiacle (Original thread). I would do it myself but the ROM used to convert the file must be either stock or stockish to work and I would lose so many settings, tweaks etc. by flashing stock and then back. As a reward I would of course hit the thanks button, send you the animation (if you please) and honor you as my savior for life! :angel: Also if you have an idea or reasonable preference(s) for the boot animation, I will make it happen.
Anyways here are the instructions stolen from the original thread (don't kill me xperiacle!):
"So just download the app(Qmg2Png), install, and pick an apk(Extract_this.apk) from sdcard and the app will extract the qmg resources and convert them to png format and saving them in the QMg2Png folder in the sdcard. The output folder retains the folder structure of the extracted apk."
Thank you in advance! Peace! :good:

If you want the stock boot animation then download the relevant firmware and pull it out of the system.img.
Please don't ask me to guide you how as there are plenty already out there.

It's in the .qmg format. There is no other way to extract it that I know of. Bootanimation.zip? No problem. Qmg? Pain in the ass.
Edit: just to be clear the stock rom uses an encoding/decoding method for qmg files that don't exist in custom roms nor is it used by any other than samsung phones. But anyhow it is not the end of the world for me if I don't get it extracted. Then I just focus on some other ideas for animations.

It's in the stock system image. All you need do is extract it.
@ashyx You just don't get it.. I have already extracted it from the system img. I need to convert the qmg to png files to edit it. Read my posts more carefully to understand.

OK let me ask you this?
What is preventing yourself from making a backup of your device with twrp which literally takes minutes, install the rom you require, do what you need and then simply restore?
@ashyx You are right but I don't want to flash any rom since when I do, I get this weird issue with my screen; I am unable to turn it off and it seems to be a matter of luck to get it working again. Thank you anyways! https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/help/screen-help-t3585090
Working on something and I'm in need of a few files.
I've searched around and havnt been able to find them so I came here. This way I won't have to download the entire firmware and extract it.
I'm in need of these files:
bootsamsung.qmg
bootsamsungloop.qmg
shutdown.qmg
I need all 3 of those from Sprint and T-Mobile.
If you are on one of these firmwares, could you please copy them from /system/media and upload them please
Links to some really cool custom animations (qmg only) would be awesome too
Thanks
