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Going to try Boot animation factory (since boot animation creator is outdated) also, my pics are in .jpg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

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..
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).
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.

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

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.
