Tutorial: Easy Boot animation preview without restart your device (FOR ROM TOOLBOX LITE)
FIRST OF ALL, I WILL NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK OR MESS UP YOUR DEVICE AS THIS STEP WORKS ON MY DEVICE ( SAMSUNG GALAXY S ADVANCE GT-I9070). I AM NOT A SOFTWARE ENGINEER NOR DEVELOPER ON THIS THREAD AND I JUST WANNA HELP AS FAR AS I COULD. THANK YOU FOR READING THIS
Those who have the paid version, you can directly preview/view any boot animation through the apps without using this method. Don’t waste your time by reading this post
1. Your device must be rooted to install boot animation that you like.
2. You must have ROM Toolbox Lite (not paid version).
3. Download any boot animation you like through the internet.
COPY DOWNLOADED BOOT ANIMATION TO YOUR SD CARD/PHONE STORAGE
1. After you download the boot animation you wished, go to your SD CARD/ PHONE STORAGE
2. Find the romtoolbox folder > boot_animation > PASTE THE BOOT ANIMATION HERE
3. Your’re done!
HOW TO SET CUSTOM BOOT ANIMATION:
1. Tab on the ROM Toolbox Lite apps on your phone
2. Scroll to left until you reach INTERFACE tab
3. You will see Boot Animation section and tab it
4. If you already download your custom boot animation, search it on LOCAL > sdcard/romtoolbox/boot_animation/YOUR CHOICE OF BOOT ANIMATION
5. Under the ROM Toolbox apps (on your left) you’ll see HOME icon and tab it
6. Scroll down until you find sbin, tab it. Find the bootanimation.sh and tab it. Script handler will pop up and choose EXECUTE and you will see the custom boot animation that you installed earlier.
7. Wait for a while until your phone state “scanning media device” complete on your status bar.
8. Congratulation! You’re done!
I will make a simple video tutorial how to preview boot animation using the apps soon but for now, it's written tutorial

This is a guide that I do not remember being posted anywhere, but if it has been, mods feel free to remove
This is for Stock based touchwiz roms ONLY where the dev hasn't added a custom bootanimation, and instead the stock ATT globe animation (which is a .qmg file instead of a zip ) is present. CM, PA, or AOKP roms do not need this, as you can just replace the bootanimation.zip file in /system/media for them.
First off special credit goes to Androidmechanic for pointing me in the direction of the thread to do so located HERE
The thread has some pretty clear instructions, but apparently some people still had problems with getting it to work, so here's what I did:
1.) Download Busybox from the playstore, open up the app and follow the instructions to install it. Even if you already have busybox from a previous time, a clean install of a fresh one will make this process work.
2.) Download the Bootanimation4u.zip AND Bootanimationzip4u.Samsungani.Only.zip from the thread linked above.
3.) Reboot into recovery and flash the Bootanimation4u.Samsungani.Only.zip FIRST, then flash Bootanimation4u.zip (I'm not sure if it is needed to flash both, but this is what I did to get it working.
4.) Reboot. Then paste any existing Bootanimation.zip files that you may have into /system/media through use of a root browser (ES File explorer, Root Browser, etc)
OR
if you don't have any bootanimation.zip files handy
you can download Boot Animation from the playstore and download and install from a PLETHORA of bootanimations. If you choose to do this follow these instructions, courtesy of XDA user ReelFiles
- install Boot Animations Root from the Play Store.
- Go into the app's preferences and change install location to /system/media/ and leave the default filename (bootanimation.zip) and go back to the main screen.
-. Select any bootanimation from the Server tab and hit Install. (Tablet ones at the bottom of the list look best.)
- Select the installed bootanimation again and hit Resize. Set it to 800x1280 30FPS.
-Tap the options key and select "Preview current" Make sure you like it and reboot.
You don't have to delete the .qmg files that Samsung uses for their bootanimation for this to work, but if for some reason this doesn't work for you, try deleting them and see what happens
Once done your bootanimation should be set! Happy Flashing!

Shutdown animation is located system/media/video/shutdown. There is a shutdown.qmg file. I replaced mine with the stock intl' Samsung shutdown qmg file. Looks much better.
I have a request to make.I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 running Lollipop 5.0.1 and i tried and flashed the file but nothing happened,but the reason is probably becouse i tried this method first ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ection-how-t1897969/post31833122#post31833122 ) and made a mess of things. Now i see only the Samsung GS4 inscription and the blank screen until the device boots up.I want to switch back to the default boot animation but i can't seem to get it back no matter what i try and i no longer have my system/bin folder bckp.If you can point me to where i can download one or you have it and can shre it with me i'll be immensely grateful.
I've a Samsung S3 I9300 with Android 4.4.4: this method works with my device?
And is there a collection of bootanimation here on XDA?
Thanks
anyone know how to go back to using qmg files?
Hey guys i was just surfing the net & XDA to get some new boot animations for my sony Lww . I got many guides & instructions about how to make your custom boot animation & much more .
So guys after searching and making custom boot animations i got a really cool and simple way to change your fav GIF image to a custom boot animation.
Things you gonna need:-
1. Android phone. (of course)
2. Rom toolbox lite/pro App.You can Get it fromplaystore
3. your Fav GIF image
How to make a custom boot animation:-
1. Place the Gif image of your choice on sd card.
2.Open Rom Tool Box app.
3. Just slide to right side in the app and Select BOOT ANIMATIONS
4. Now slide to left side (Under the local tab).
5. the local tab show your sd card cotents.
6. select the GIF image and in the options prompted select GIF to BOOT ANIMATION.
7. Its done the app will convert the GIF to boot animation(like if you have chosen XYZ.gif it will convert it to XYZ.zip ) and will place it on sd card (mostly next to your GIF image).
How to apply/use it:-
1.After converting it to zip file the app will ask you to install it if you wish you can..
or jst open your root browser and rename the zip file to bootanimation.zip (like XYZ.zip---------->bootanimation.zip) place it in system\media folder and set permissions to rwxr-xr-x.
2.And then reboot your phone.
* Things to be rembered
1. While choosing GIF make sure that the resolution of GIF image is same as that of your mobile.
for that just click the link herehttp://gifmaker.me/resizer/ and resize
according to your mobile resolution. (If you dont know your mobile resolution jst google it)
2. Make sure that your phone is rooted.
3. Make sure you do the above steps carefully.
4.Just Enjoy & hit thanx if u like it
there are some of my created bootanimations down the post.

in PA and CM the themes are set by the system itself. In effect the same theme chooser you have on your settings(T-mobile) is present in ROM toolbox! also if the system has set any theme then changing the icons via Rom toolbox wont work.
-found out by checking on my friends's LG p500
Yup U cant change the system default settings Srry

Hi everyone, I'm new on the scene of customizing ROMs with a little experimentation. I want to point out that so far I have not found a custom roms for blue - 5.0. however I did find a way too customize my rom by using rom installer made by JRummy an app that can be found on Google Play amazing I know so I added a custom boot animation removing the stock animation of blue - 5.0 and now I have the dancing droid everytime I turn on my phone it's pretty cool all you have to do is download JRummy app called rom installer found on Google Play your phone must be rooted and you must have busybox installed also you mus downloadthe application that I used to root my phone is called from a rude which can be found on XDA Developers and downloaded once you root your phone open it up there's all kinds of cool and the gang that you can do so I got a new boot animations from JRummy apps and that's why I found the dancing Droid is also a boot animation of Mario Brothers running across the screen when your phone boots up when you first turn it on stick figures falling from the sky and dying stick figures fighting and so forth so once you download the zip file from JRummy apps which can we found on Google Play. you also need to download rom manager also found on Google Play and this is where you can find a customized or stock boot animations once you download the boot animations you find the zip file and SD card and a clock work mod then click downloads then then click JRummy apps and you keep cleaning up to you get such as I file once you get through the zip file you click on it and either the rom manager or another app called rom customizer will open up and ask you do you want to open up or do you want to unzip it you press open and once it opens you clicked on the zip file and you automatically be taken to an app that will ask you do you want to Flash and or install the zip ok then there should be a notification that lets you know that has been installed successfully and reboot your phone when you reboot your phone there should be a new boot animation for a more detailed explanation on how to do this please email me at [email protected] see at or just reply to this thread thank you. I thought I would share the knowledge I learned from doing research endlessly and experimenting as well as tinkering with my operating system. As I learn more I will share what I know. Sorry for my typing I'm using my blue dash 5.0 to do all this. Please work with me. Will get a laptop soon.

USE ROOT FILE EXPLORER YOUR PREFFRENCE
NAVIGATE TO. ROOT/SYSTEM/MEDIA/
There are four files in a row after audio those are the files for the "forreset" phone power up and power down and pad power up and down
yes you have four different images .go to boot animations APK go to settings and change install location the change for each new images before choosing and installing install phone images for the two forreset files and two for the pad files when your done reboot and enjoy then stick it in your tablet and reboot again to see your awesome hacking skills at work lol hope this helped I attached pics of the app settings menu and what it should like for one of the animations the phone power up if still having trouble reply and I will post the other three

do the handset then check it then do pad if it bootloops or fails on handset put in pad and it will boot some animations just seem to cause loop I do this reflash different boot so far it works good
Introduction
Hello everyone I am a newbie here and this is my first time making a working boot animation on my Sony Xperia SP ( this is my only device so if you don't have a Sony Xperia SP you can try to test it and if it work for your device tell the other so that they know it is compatible with their device or it's compatible with all device but wrong resolution ) but for some reason the boot sound is not working but if you guys got it working please tell me how. Also sorry for not showing you what the boot animation looks like due to being a newbie unable to post a link + gif file turn into jpg and mp4 being an invalid file :silly:
My boot sound problem:crying:
The boot sound I tried to put in system/media android_audio.mp3 not working system/media/ui PowerOn.ogg or PowerOn.wav not working putting the sound in the bootanimation.zip ( the sound file in bootanimation.zip name is bootanim.mp3 )still not working write s bootanim.mp3 in desc.txt still not working but one worked but that is not my bootanimation it is a xbox boot animation with sound for Sony Xperia SP user and all the boot sound location or whatever I tried above permissions is R-W-R-R
Others
my Sony Xperia SP android version is jellybean so there is no need to ask my android version ( just in case if it is kitkat ) because someone said boot sound don't work on kitkat
Before install wisdom :angel:
And whatever you do don't ask me how to fix a problem because I have no idea how :silly: except restoring from a nandroid backup of course and flashtool maybe :laugh:
How to Install custom boot animation for beginners :highfive:
This boot animation is not flashable.
I think everyone already knows how to install boot animation right? :silly:
If not don't panic just install the zip copy or cut it to you phone (if you install the zip via PC, laptop or mac or whatever)
using a root file manager rename the old boot animation located at system/media, data local or system/customize/resource to something else :silly: or move it somewhere else or delete it then move my bootanimation.zip to system/media usually it's system/media your choice now change the permission to R-W-R-R reboot and enjoy?
Don't understand? it ok here is the simple way install boot animation factory open it and click flash to phone or something like that :silly: connect your phone and choose boot animation ( and find where is the zip located? ) now click flash to phone
optional: under the select name for boot animation you can scroll ( I think the action is called scroll to the right to choose boot sound ) find the boot sound location choose it and flash to phone
Still don't understand? don't worry I got this install rom toolbox lite or rom toolbox pro or bootanimation( by JRummy Apps Inc ) via google play and open boot animation after install if you use rom toolbox go to interface by sliding to the left ( I meant your finger ) and select boot animation give root permission duh don't deny it :silly: and go to local and find my boot animation press it and press install :victory:
