[UPDATED 12-25-14] Custom Boot Animations For Sprint Galaxy Note 4 - Sprint Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps

NEW Added a couple Ani's 12-25-14
Greetings Sprint GN4 Users, a little candy.
First off, credit for creating these animations goes to HanneMaster (And Others). All I did was make changes to the Flashable ZIP'z so they would work for the Sprint Variant Note 4.
Some of these were not flashable so I put them in flashable Zip format.
The Files are below.
How to:
Place the zip either on your internal or external sdcard
Boot into recovery
Locate the file & flash it
Reboot your device and enjoy!
The first one is an Android L Boot Animation.
-------------------------------
Android L Boot Animation
preview:
-------------------------------
The second is very cool. It comes in this green preview and also Red.
Also on the list is a nice Shutdown Animation and the Stock Sprint Animations.
I will be updating the list as often as possible. Frequently I hope.
-------------------------------
Matrix bootanimation for note 4.
preview:
-------------------------------
For those who would like to do this manually through a file explorer do this:
** extract the Boot Animation file ("SPR_bootsamsung.qmg") from the ZIP (system/media). Place it on your EXT SDcard.
** Using your favorite root explorer, (I use es file explorer with root enabled) Go to system/media and find "SPR_bootsamsung.qmg". Select it, Rename it to something like "SPR_bootsamsung_ORIG.qmg".
-
** Copy the "SPR_bootsamsung.qmg" file that you placed on your EXT sdcard and paste it in the /system/media folder.
-
** Now you need to change the permissions. Select the "SPR_bootsamsung.qmg" file you pasted and from the More/properties menu (es file explorer) set the permissions to: rw-r-r.
-
** Repeat the same procedure for "SPR_bootsamsungloop.qmg" not forgetting to rename the original "SPR_bootsamsungloop.qmg" to something like "SPR_bootsamsungloop_ORIG.qmg"
-
** Re-boot...
REMEMBER... These are for the Sprint variant NOTE 4 but can be re-named to work with other variants. Look in your system/media folder to try and determine the correct naming for your variant.
The Stock Sprint Animations are also on the list of downloads...

Glad to do it. Hopefully we will get more and more stuff happening for our Sprint GN4's.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing! I was gonna redo the Android L boot animation I have for the Note 2 but I've been busy with other things.

Two thumbs up.:good::good:

Updated List: The Gecko Full HD Boot Animation
With all props to hannemaster. Thanks dude!
Formatted for the Sprint GN4. Due to size restrictions, this boot animation is stored at Google drive.
Here:
Nature Themed HD Boot animation
And at the top of the list...

I flashed matrix red boot animation and crt shutdown and it didn't work. Flashed together, separate, wiped caches, didn't wipe caches, and it never worked and until I flashed the stock ones back the phone would reboot after the screen would turn off. I'll try the manual way and see if that works.
Edit: manual way didn't work either. I'll try green matrix now.
Edit: flashed green, didn't work. Am I missing something? I'm I devdigitel 2.0 with twisted's kernel. Should those really effect this?

Green Matrix worked for me. Very nice BTW. But Nature HD seems to flash but effects nothing.

Epic Blue Splash. Loving it.

Not working for me...tried flashing a few of them. It just boots stock

Well, what the flashable zip does is overwrite the existing bootanimation files (2). If your stock rooted the files will be named: SPR_bootsamsung. qmg and SPR_bootsamsungloop.qmg. Confirm they are there and permissions are set to rw - r - r. Make sure you can write to the device internally and get back to me. Sounds like it could be a write problem. Although the flash should have handled it.

They are named the same, I know cause I did exactly what the manual instructions said.

Which root Explorer are you using. You renamed existing boot files then you copied over the new files and then changed the permissions then hit refresh to make sure it stuck.

So got mine to work. I removed the original two files and extracted the boot I needed files. Then placed them under system/media. When I deleted SPR and changed the permission to rw--r--r. It finally worked.

[Boot Animation] Nexus Prime Official adjusted for the Note

Didn't notice anyone's uploaded this for the Note so here it is. I just adjusted the leak boot animation from this thread to fit the fullscreen of the Note (instead of 720x1280 of the Prime). Check the thread to see a low-quality preview of how the boot animation looks like
Credits go to febycv
YOUR NOTE MUST HAVE ROOT (and CWM) TO USE THIS Get both from the CF ROOT thread or any kernel with CWM.
Instructions (modified from febycv's thread):
1. Download the required file to your sdcard
2. Use root explorer or equivalent to go to /data/local and place the bootanimation.zip there (if it doesn't work, try /system/media/).
4. Reboot
Download Here
EDIT: To get rid of / replace the Power On sound, delete/rename/replace /system/etc/1_Power_On.ogg (or something similar). The Power Off sound file is also in the same folder...
Thanks.
It works like a charm.
i dont kbow why. But i placed the file in data/local . But it didnt change anything. Hmm

You could try just placing it under /system/media/ also.
Brilliant can't wait to try it out when I go home.
Thanks!!It work very well!!
And it looks beautiful, worked just by placing it in /data/local.
Thanking you very much.
i have the hong kong 2.3.6 and it threw me into bootloop
Thks. Will try.
WOW, thanks!
I put it under /system/media/
works great...thanks
Thanks!!Good job!!

You need to have a kernel with CWM to use this without flashing. You would have lost that when you flashed the (stock) KKA firmware. Get the latest CFRoot KKA kernel from Chainfire's thread
Great !!!
Just changed my bootanimation - put it into: data/local -> workes fine !
THX very much !
Hi All
I downloaded the boot animation, its folder on my mac after the download and when i transfer it on my note, it says boot animation.zip
I took this and pasted it in the local folder, nothing happened... then i pasted it in media and still nothing happens !!!
I sure that the boot animation for my note is in the media folder since i can see many things in that folder and there is nothing in the local folder...
I am on the KKA firmware with the CF-rooted kernel which i downloaded from the chain fire's thread and its perfectly installed
But till now I have not been able to make this work...
Is there step i am missing??? do i need to tale some files out of the boot animation.zip and place it in the folders or just download the .zip from this thread and then move it to the folder on my note?? (this what i have been doing till now)

[MOD][bootanim] ICS-like boot animation (requires my 20120105 kernel or better)

I put it in the title, and I'll put it here again because I KNOW someone will ask (or do worse)
THIS BOOT ANIMATION WILL ONLY WORK ON THE P6210 WITH KERNELS THAT SUPPORT BOOT ANIMATIONS. THAT CURRENTLY ONLY INCLUDES MY KERNEL FOR THE P6210 WITH A VERSION GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO 20120105.
I wonder how many people will ignore that and install it on the 20120102 version (which, honestly, will amuse me quite a bit as it'll have an interesting result.)
Credit where credit is due: The actual boot animation was modified from the animation provided in UnNamed 1.x for the AT&T SGSII by gtg465x. All I did was rotate all the images, tweak the dimensions of the control file, and stick it into a recovery installable update.zip file.
How to install:
Download it. Put it on your device. Boot into recovery and install .zip file from sdcard (or internal sdcard if you put it on the microSD.)
This is completely unsupported... it's only meant as a sample and proof of concept for the boot anims.
This post has a link to a youtube showing the boot anim: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21101682&postcount=8
Take care

Rock On dude! can someone post a teaser video! thanks garyd!!
dont know if this also removes boot up sound,
in case anyone cant figure it out it should be /system/etc/poweron.wav, you can play the .wav first to verify, if so rather than delete it just rename to backuppoweron.wav
cheers!
by the way i found a way how to change the bootanimation on my galaxy mini :
1. delete the 'bootanimation' located in /system/bin (better to backup)
2. then copy and rename 'samsungani' to 'bootanimation'
3. then delete (backup) the bootani.qmg located in /system/media
4. copy the bootanimation.zip file to /system/media
and, i tried this on my gtab 7+ p6200.
but on step 3, in /system/media there are bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg. i don't know which file to delete/replace.
is the bootsamsungloop.qmg ?
can someone help me?
how come that Gtab7+ doesn't support the bootanimation ? if we got samsung bootanimation means it can support any bootanim i guess. or whatcha you think ?

ive tried this method with renaming both of these files, bootanimation finishes and lockscreen/homescreen come up but bootanimation is frozen stuck covering the top 60% of screen.
I've got this already up and going on my tab with the stock ICS boot animation. Did it late last night. Didn't use this boot animation, modified my own from my galaxy s2.
I'll post a video today on how it looks. Much better than stock.
Thanks Gary.

Eh I wouldn't think so. Its only placing a file in /system/media. Not touching any other files.
As long as you have the kernel flashed you should be good to go.

Is there any way that the boot animation could be silent? The noise is disruptive in public settings if I get a random reboot, so I'm told, lol

Normally there is a power on audio file in /system/media/audio/ui but I can't see one.
Power off is in there though
EDIT found it!
/etc/1power_on.ogg
Delete that and bye bye boot up sound
Same here. its system/etc/1_poweron.ogg just renamed mine with root explorer.
This mod is only a "proof of concept" to demonstrate the changing of the boot animation using the kernel I posted in another thread. The boot sound is unrelated to the boot animation from the kernel point of view. Normally, the boot animation and/or sound would be changed by firmware developers.

Because Samsung insists on using their own wacky bootanimation binary and format.
So you need to either:
1) Replace the binary (manual effort, no "fallback" if no bootanim is present)
2) Add a script to the kernel initramfs that uses "standard" bootanim support if you have one present, and Samsung's as a fallback.

You can simply delete the bootanimation.zip file in system/etc/media, I assume?

Changing boot animations

I have read the information on manually changing the boot animations, but has anyone used a tool to do it? Rom Tool Box and a slew of other apps have change boot animation functions. I was just wondering if anyone has successfully used any stand alone app to accomplish this? also boot logos?

I tried Rom Toolbox but it doesn't chance animation on mine. I don't know nor can find where the settings or the directory is on the tf700 is to change it in Rom toolbox. If you know... please share it or a link to the answer. Thanks
Ice, rooted and unlocked. NVflash backup
Boot Animations works fine.
Apparemtly tf700 users can't get this to work either. just need to know which dir tf700 actually uses.

How To Change, Customize & Create Android Boot Animation [Guide]
So you have found a boot animation that you want to install on your phone? Created one of your own and can’t wait to see it in action on your device? All you have to do is copy it at a certain location on your device. There are two locations you can copy it: /data/local and /system/media, and both have their advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages of copying it to /data/local is that you will not require root access for it and it should work for all non-rooted devices without running the risk of changing anything in the /system partition. Furthermore, if a bootanimation.zip file is found in both locations, Android ignores the one found in /system/media and gives priority to the one in /data/local. A disadvantage of this method is that upon a hard reset (also called a full data wipe or a factory reset), the new boot animation will be lost.
Copying the boot animation to /system/media/ is possible only if your device is rooted and you have read+write access to the /system partition. An advantage of this method is that upon a hard reset, the new boot animation will still remain and there will be no need to apply it again. A disadvantage is that it requires ADB or a root level file browser such as Root Explorer or Super Manager.

Thanks for the info. I saw that and tried it but no luck. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Tried to change it with ROM Toolbox pro also an doesn't work. Am rooted and unlock but no JOY. I did find the /system/media/bootanimation.zip file but it just doesn't load.
Update: I copied the animation.zip files to both /system/media and also data/local. The only thing that loads is the White Asus sign for about 5 sec then a Black screen for about 20 sec then boots normally. Theres got to be a setting that directs the bootanimation file to load but can't find what file the boot looks for to load where to find bootanimation.zip.

This, to me, looks like the animation is corrupt or is not a boot animation. Check out this tool. Restore the original animation to /system/media and then use the one in the link of my previous post and put that in /data/local.
Thanks. I checked out the program and tried it but got errors pushing the file. to /media but it worked going to /local. tried previewing with romtools pro but not working. I'm stumped. Found a bunch of treads for this problem but nothing. files are not corrupted. I can get the boot animation files to run outside of android on a pc ect but not while trying to get them to animate inside there folders.... /local or /media. Somewhere in the boot process it's not loading. Need to find out why the White Asus animation works for a few seconds and where it is. It used to turn Brown/ Goldish and rotate but no longer. Anyone else with any guess's?
Also: Forgot to mention am using the JB bootloader.

That is not the boot animation of Asus, it's a still image embedded in either the bootloader or something close to it. It's not mean to be customized, the metallic ASUS logo with the light effect and then the circular progress indicator are part of the default bootanimation.zip

Yes of Course I'd be willing to share it. As I said I can view it outside of the floders on a Windows PC running the boot animtion progam. The one I was tring to install comes with RomToolbox Pro.

I deleted all animation zip files also and still get the ASUS screen. non animated. whereever that file is it's corrupted I think.

Sorry for the wait. I have no way of uploading the animation file in question here. Looking for somewhere to upload it so you can look at it but as I said the file is not the problem. I need to reinstall the bootloader which is 9.4.5.30r01 Not sure how to just do that as I haven't looked into it. The 9.4.5.30r01 came from the nvflash tread in this forum. I need to research if I install a jb bootloader if I still have nvflash "JUST IN CASE" Have a nice day.

No problem, I have ROM Toolbox myself and got the animation. While playing around (copying animations to my tablet from my NAS) I figured out what might be wrong on your side.
Make sure your bootanimation.zip is in /data/local and set the file permissions to rw-r--r--.

Thanks I already tried that. I found that in a post days ago but no luck. permissions where set right. Since my last post I updated to the 10.4.4.18 the odex version and I got bootanimation back. I backed it up using trwp 2.3.1.0 and tried changing it with Rom toolbox again. I set the paths to data/local in the settings. I installed the new bootanimation.zip file and rebooted. It would not boot up at all. Got past the white asus and went blank and I waited 10-15 min but noting. I rebooted by holding down power button for like 10-15sec and still would not boot up. Had to go back to trwp and reinstall my .18 backup and it started right up. Am going to give up for now till I can find out what is causing this for me and not others. Theres just something I'm missing and haven't pinned it down. Thanks for your time and effort. really appreciate it.
Update: 10-22 @11:34 pm. I got it working... Installed CleanRom 2.3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919851
Not even sure what I did other than flashed, wiped and reset. I checked the location of the bootanimation directory in this rom and it was only in /system/media. I read all the treads and info I could find. I used Rom Toolbox pro https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolboxpro&feature=search_result and changed settings to install it in /data/local as everywhere I read suggested that directory. If you've read what I've tried in the past I already did that over and over. Checked the permissions of the file and all. the one thing I didn't do was remount the zip file after copying to the directory. I didn't think I would have needed to since toolbox would have handled that... I though. Thats the only thing I can think of why it wouldn't load on boot is because it wasn't remounting. Anyways. I got it working but to be honest I still don't know why and I actually wanted to know why... A learning experiance if you want. One more time... Thanks a million for your time.

The reason why it don´t work is that Asus maybe has integrated a check of system files in some asus app or in the kernel (don´t now)
Changing Bootanimation does only work for me with a cleanrom and cm10.
as you sad when you change it in the stock rom it wont boot anymore.
So Asus dont want that someone removes their bootanimation i think

You don't have to remove/replace the Asus bootanimation. Just place your own in /data/local set the correct permissions and you're good to go.

boot animation change. which method???

getting confused about which method to use.
in the OP of Viper OneS ROM, it says to use the Aroma tool, but there's a boot animation change option within the Venom Tweak app.
and this thread talks about different methods entirely, and mentions CWM flasher, but doesn't mention TWRP.
wat 2 do, wat 2 do.....

You can change your boot animation on any hboot, bc its located in the system partition. You just need root. You only need a lower hboot to change the bootsplash (ie the non animated logo before the animation).
The boot animation files depend on the ROM you are using.I think for viper its /system/customize/resources/bootanimation.zip
Just replace that file with the .zip of the bootanimation of your choice (also make sure to fix the file permissions to what they were in the original file).
RomToolbox on the PlayStore has a good BootAnimation feature (as well as many other features, a download I would recomend for any root user) and can often find the Boot animation file for you and has a lot of additional bootanimations too. Its a good tool to switch boot animations automatically (and can back up your current boot animation too)
sound bootanimation

You're on a One S device I'm assuming right cuzI've played with 4 of them with absolutely no issues?? Do NOT edit them just put them on ur sd than move them to 'System/Media' but (DO) save the original one in that area so u have it to go back to and write down the original ones 'Permissions' so u can check the proper ones off on the one u replace it with.

Should be checked off like this and best to use 'Root Explorer'

Boot animation not changing in nexus 5

Hey guys, today i tried to change my boot animation with ROM toolbox but it failed. Then i also tried by copying boot animation.zip in root/system/media but still it didn't change.
What should i do ?
put the bootanimation.zip into (root)/data/local/, save and reboot(with a root file explorer). if its still not working, then wont work with the n5. rom toolbox is an old app, and has old boot animations. its possible they wont work with the n5.
@simms22
Worked by placing zip in data/local
Thanks , from where can i get batman boot animation for nexus 5 .
Tried google it bt no good results

you can make one
if you do find older boot animations, most will be tiny on the n5screen.n because the n5 has a much greater screen resolution than any older device. i havent seen any newer batman boot animations.

Old or not, there's no reason they shouldn't work. If they aren't made for this specific screen resolution, all you need to do is unzip the animation, batch resize all the images in the the folders, edit desc.txt and compress it back to a zip file again. Pretty simple, actually! :good:

i said older and being tiny on the screen. anyways, i think if the op knew how to enlarge them and zip them back up, then he wouldnt be looking for a batman boot animation, he would make his own
