Only tested on Galaxy S3 and Note 2 (720x1280 @30fps unless otherwise specified.

Thanks to smokin1337 for Bootanimation4U!

Thanks to kevinrocksman for his Boot Ani Zip Enabler for Note 3

Boot Animations: Touchwiz or AOSP

Easy Install:

If you haven't enabled custom boot animations or it isn't already supported by your kernel;

Read and grab Bootanimation4U

Download XYZBootanimation.zip and rename to "bootanimation.zip"

Add bootanimation.zip to /system/media/ (for Touchwiz) OR /data/user/ or /data/local(for AOSP)

Flash Bootanimation4U.zip in recovery

Advanced Install:

Flash bootanimation4u.zip from recovery.

Reboot and install Boot Animations Root from the Play Store. It is also included in Rom Toolbox, if you already use it.

Go into the app's preferences and change install location to /system/media/ (for Touchwiz) OR /data/user/ or /data/local(for AOSP) and leave the default filename (bootanimation.zip) and go back to the main screen.

Select the Local tab, browse for the bootanimation file (No need to rename)and hit Install.

Tap the options key and select Preview current. Make sure you like it and reboot.

You can preview it before installing the animation if you buy the Pro version, but the preview quality is better if you install it first anyway.

If you need to resize a bootanimation for a different device's resolution follow my video guide here:

Samsung .qmg Boot Animations

The Galaxy Note 3, and I am assuming newer Samsung devices do not support bootanimation.zip files out of the box. Until we have a way to get that to work we are reliant on replacing bootsamsung.qmg with an edited version. This is an extremely limited way of getting it to work. It causes bootanimations not to run as smoothly as .zip format animations with optimized images. The Samsung Theme Designer app I use to make TW shutdown animations is not very good at compressing or optimizing images, which becomes more apparent the larger the animation resolution is. Ideally, you would want to use a centered small graphic with a black background to make it look as if it were truly fullscreen. Well it appears that Samsung threw yet another wrench into the gears and now it doesn't work that way anymore. When I try to use a non-fullscreen image it stretches it to fill the whole screen and that makes it look like poo-poo. It does not look anywhere near as fluid as the smaller "fake" fullscreen ones did on my Note 2.

Samsung Theme Designer also only lets me import up to 255 images, unlike the usual 300 I tend to use in a bootanimation.zip for 30fps. I am not sure if that results in a slightly shorter bootanimation or if it means that it uses the same duration but runs it at a slower framerate. <shrug> But it could explain the choppiness. It could also just be that .qmg animations are more resource heavy. I also still have to figure out which way it runs smoother; a native res 1080x1920 or 720x1280 and let the device do the upscaling. I dunno the recipe, I am just sayin'.

I have only tried converting a couple of my 720x1280 bootanimations and they worked, although they didn't come out great. This is going to be a learning experience for me until I figure out the optimal settings to make them run smoother. I am going to start converting some more of my older bootanimations to the .qmg format, as well as creating new ones.

Installation:

Download and rename XYZbootsamsung.qmg to bootsamsung.qmg and replace the one in /system/media.

Update:

Thanks to @kevinrocksman we now have .zip support for Note 3. Just flash one of his boot animations here to enable it and you can install any .zip bootani after that.

If you want to request anything just post a link or youtube video. Obviously 720p or better results in better bootanimations.
