I'm on OF1 and rooted. Anyone know how to get rid of the red Verizon splash screen when the phone is powered on?
Download attachment below and replace all files on system > media folder. set permissions to 0644 and reboot.
How do I set permissions? Also, what does this replace the Verizon splash screen with?

Use any file explorer with root functions. Boot animation came from stock i9505 lollipop.
Can I just use Flashfire and just flash the boot animation zip using that and reboot?

Would ES File Explorer be able to do this? If not, which file explorer would you recommend?
I did not see the original bootanimation.zip file under /system/media, so I renamed the four samsung files (bootsamsung11; bootsamsungloop22; bootsamsungmini33 and bootsamsungminiloop44) from .qmg to .bak, then copied the new boot animation zip file I grabbed to /system/media. I still have the Samsung audio but just black screen before it went right to home screen...no new animation. Did I miss a step? I'm not finding posts on doing this with Flashfire (which would seem logical since it would be so easy). If I go this route, I would copy the boot animation.zip to /system/media, then run Flashfire and flash it , correct? Thats it?

The boot animation i uploaded is not flashable with any recovery tools .Just use root browser/explorer. Extract all the qmg files and replace the qmg's in system>media folder.
I did NOT find a bootanimation.zip in /system/media. All the sites and videos that describe doing this refer to it. I found one place on XDA indicating that the GS4 does NOT uhave the bootanimation.zip file and instead uses only the qmg files...that was what was throwing me off.. I found the Android Lollipop bootup (that uses qmg files), replaced the existing qmg files.... and it worked.
Then I explored how to change the audio as it was silent. I made a custom .ogg file using the THX movie theatre intro (you'll recognize it instantly when you hear it) which seemed like the perfect techie bootup sound. Found a site to cut its length (its a bit too long to match the boot up animation) and Presto!! I have this amazingly cool bootup animation with the perfect audio to match! The audio file won't upload here but you can get it here: http://www.thx.com/thx-deep-note/
Use an mp3 grabber such as http://www.listentoyoutube.com/, then cut it down (I cut off the first 10-12 seconds) using http://mp3cut.net/. Convert it to an ogg (http://www.zamzar.com) and replace the existing PowerOn.ogg in /system/media/audio/ui with the new file (renamed to match). Rename and keep the old one as a .bak file in case you ever want that Samsung sound again.

Es file explorer will/can if that directory exists. Enable root mode to access system files. Be careful not to change anything unless you are very sure you know what is is.

I need help with restoring the stock Galaxy S2 boot animation.
This was what happened. I installed jrummy's Root Tools.
In my eagerness, I replaced the original boot animation without backing up!
Now when I want to undo the changes that has been done, many an online search suggested going to system/media and removing bootanimation.zip so that bootsamsung and bootsamsungloop can work their magic...
And here is where the problem is, bootanimation.zip is nowhere to be found!
I wonder if Root Tools had totally overwritten bootsamsung and bootsamsungloop.
All I want is to get back the original bootanimation sequence.
Can anyone help with this? TIA!!!
Here is the original bootanimation
Just unzip the attached zip file and copy and paste the attached bootsamsung.qmp and bootsamsungloop.qmg to system/media and you are done..
BTW is your poweron sound intact??
Thanks bro! The poweron sound is still present.
I have resolved the problem. Apparently, I have been going at it wrongly.
I had been using Astro as file manager but it didn't allow me to access data/local where bootanimations.zip was.
After I switched to RootExplorer and removed the offending file, voila!

Are you rooted? There are a couple of ways. If you have RootExplorer (or any other file explorer app) go into /system/media and replace the bootanimation.zip. The new file MUST have the same exact name as the one you are replacing. Best bet is to rename the old one (i.e. bootanimation.zip.old) and place the new one. Change the permissions to match the other files in there (rw_r__r__). Reboot and enjoy.
Second method would require you to have the root and CWM installed. You can find and download flashable bootanimations and use CWM recovery to flash.
I prefer the first method though..
Mine doesn't seem to have a bootanimation.zip. There's a bootsamsung.qmg and a bootsamsungloop.qmg but those are the only things that seem to be related to boot animation.
Try replacing sanim.zip using the same instructions as above.

I think stock Samsung Froyo and GB roms have these files.
I have two Players and one of them is still on stock Samsung GB (rooted). And as you mentioned, files are not in zip format. So... I am not sure what to tell you here. I had my other one with a custom GB Rom which had the .zip format boot animation and it was piece of cake to replace. So... you can try a custom rom or just leave the booranimation as it is, I guess...
Maybe someone else has a better suggestion for you.
Flash with CWM Recovery
I'm not too sure whether you can change the boot animation on a stock rom, but on the custom rom i'm using, there isn't a bootanimation.zip file. I simply flashed the bootanimation.zip file through CWM recovery.
Hope this helps!
wont be much here and wont be replying as its as simple as it gets.
ripped this out of the 4.1 gnex ota update preview, edited it so it would work with our phone since the ripped version never played when i tried it straight from the ota. desc.txt was all mangled.
**NEW**NEXUS 7 BOOTANIMATION:

What did you use to move to the /system/media folder?
Is your file system mounted as writable?

Make sure your file system is mounted as writable. I used ES File Explorer and did all the steps, and it didn't work. So I checked the ES settings and it wasn't "Mounted as writable". Once I fixed that, and did the exact same steps, it worked. The animation looks great.

Hi. I just tried that and it didn't work either. Just moving the bootanimation.zip to the \system\media is all I need to do (besides setting the permissions)? There is no other bootanimation.zip file in the media folder. How does the phone know to use the bootanimation.zip file when booting? Thanks.
Guess this will not work on stock OCS.
Does anyone have a bootanimation that is in the default Samsung format

What rom are you on? Custom boot animation may not be supported.
Is your current boot animation the android logo? There was no other bootanimation.zip in the folder for me, until I placed the renamed JB one.
here's my complete list of steps, that produced the desired results for me on Black*STAR IV ics rom:
*dl file to PC, renamed to bootanimation.zip placed in dropbox
*extracted to external sd card from dropbox app on phone
*moved to /system/media/ folder with ES file explorer (with mounted as writable, and all root options enabled)
*set permissions using Rom Toolbox's root browser
*rebooted phone and enjoyed animation
Mine does samsung logo samsung logo, android logo, then booted up.
Permissions set in ROM toolbox. Bootanimation.zip.
Must be my ROM's animation, (the android letters) needs removed?
Permisions is RW-R--R--
Hi everyone,
This is my first time posting here so hello to everyone!
I recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy S5 after having iPhones for years and I haven't stopped using it since. I was looking into boot animations and I saw all the BIOS boot animations but realized that no one had created one for the Galaxy S5 yet. Because of that I made one myself specifically for the Samsung Galaxy S5 meaning that all the files are in the QMG format and not the typical bootanimation.zip style. Attached to this post are two zip archives containing the animation file. Both attachments are the same animation but one runs at 18FPS while the other runs at 22FPS. This way in-case your phone boots slower or faster than mine there will be time to completely finish the animation.
I also have it rendered at all different framerates from 5 to 60 so if you need it somewhere else let me know.
Let me know what you think as I plan on making a more unique animation in the future!
How to Install (Device Must be Rooted):
1.Download bootsamsung.qmg file to device
2. Go to system/media
3. Rename the existing bootsamsung.qmg to bootsamsungOld.qmg or something else (do not delete)
4. Rename bootsamsungloop.qmg to bootsamsungloopOld.qmg or something else (carrier animation, can delete if do not want)
5. Place the bootsamsung.qmg file you downloaded into here
6. Change the permissions of the bootsamsung.qmg file to: Owner: read,write Group: read Others: read
7. Reboot your phone and see if it works!
Since I am a new user I can't put images or a video preview here due to them being external links.
Below in attachments along with the animation files there will also be another zip archive containing a GIF preview and two pictures.
***EDIT***
Also in the attached files you will find bootanimation.zip which is the animation files for phones that dont use the Samsung .QMG file format. Note that it is still at 1080x1920 in terms of resolution and will play at 18FPS until you modify the desc.txt
Thanks, PDrizzly
Can I have one in ".zip" format please? The GS5 ROM I am using (MOAR ROM on Sprint GS5) has custom bootanimation support and uses .zip files for bootanimation!

I am having trouble getting this to work on AllianceRom. The animation stops at the 12th picture and it just freezes there until the boot cycle completes. After applying the boot animation I can look into the zip archive and every png file from number 13 on is 0kb in size.
Just for some more information I have tried applying the boot animation by flashing via Rom Manager, using Rom Toolbox (Boot Animations), and by manually placing the bootanimation.zip in the system\media directory. When I manually place the zip file in (and adjust permissions), the boot screen is just black. Nothing shows up. Every other boot animation I have tried seems to work just fine. This is the only one giving me trouble.
Any advice?
Thank you.

I think you could change the boot animation if you've got root permissions. The Bootanimation is a zip file contains several pics in /system/media. This is the reason why you need root. Without root you couldn't write a file in this directory.
