If you have the animation.zip file follow these instructions.

To use Bootanimation.zip
Using the root explorer, navigate to system/bin
you will be working with 2 files.

*First find a file named

To use Bootanimation.zip

*First find a file named – >System/Bin "samsungani" (no file extension) and rename it (ex samsunganiBAK)
Secondly find a file named – >System/Bin "bootanimation" (also, no file extension) and rename this file to "samsungani" without the quotation.

Get the bootanimation.zip file that you want to use (or create your own)

Unzip it to verify a little information is correct
Open the desc.txt file > you should see something like this (numbers will vary)
700 1116 18
p 1 0 part0
p 5 0 part1

Whatever bootanimation you use, make SURE that the number directly after the "p" is NOT 0 otherwise you will enter a never-ending loop.

Put in System/Media

What do i change the number after p to if its 0?


Edit- This is what it reads

768 164 24
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1

An endless boot loop is in your near future

I wonder...can you simply change those numbers, or are those numbers created based on some attribute of the animation itself? Also, once changed...what do you do about re-zipping the animation? Anything to keep in mind when re-zipping?

Its something ive never done bro but i think the Rom Toolbox app lets you change boot animation. I dont know if thats just a lazy way of flashing them in recovery or not though :thumbup:

Well im scared of the boot loop, but every bootanimation for the S3 has the 0 after P

I'm curious about this also. There are many flashable boot animations for the Sprint version so I am hoping they will also work for our version.

Does anyone know?

this link will help under stand the desc.txt file The desc.txt for boot animations works like this

in terms of rezipping all i remember is not to compress it
