Installing Boot Animations on T-Mobile Galaxy Note 3

Ok let me help out kevinrocksman for a minute.

LATEST UPDATE OF 10/31/13

*Samsung decided to throw us another curve ball on top of KNOX (booooo) this time around and you guessed it; it directly correlates to this topic! You CAN NOT just use your root file explorer to replace your bootanimation.zip (/system/media) or use an app like ROM Tool Box to gather and install Boot Animations because... stock, THERE IS NO BOOTANIMATION.ZIP NOR THE BINARY TO EXECUTE IT.

Samsung decided to compile all of their animations with their own program called Samsung Theme Designer, which produces their own file format; ".qmg". Samsung Theme Designer is the desktop based program that you would run if you wanted to make your own animations in this ".qmg" file format

FORTUNATELY, thanks to kevinrocksman we now have a way to play with our same ol' bootanimation.zip files! He gratefully coded us not only a flashable solution but - he wrapped it all up in an easy Aroma install zip that we can flash via recovery.

So folks there are plenty of ways to accomplish the same task, but this method below will be the easiest and most straight forward approach to getting your custom bootanimation!

1. Pick any of the "Flashable" bootanimations.zip's provided for you here on page 1.

2. Boot to recovery *Use TWRP" and flash that bootanimation.zip file. A simple but headache relieving Aroma installer will hold your hand and walk you through the install.

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

4. 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.

5. 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 always hit the options button and re size it as well.)

6. BAM! You now have the correct binary run any bootanimation.zip you'd like.

Disclaimer: All I did in this post was try to sum up all the info I've read on the other pages and pages of XDA so that hoppfully YOU won't have to spend as much time as I did figuring this out. I tried to direct quote where I could but I know it's not perfect. PM me if you have any concerns. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kevinrocksman:
Well technically u have the correct binary as soon as u flash my aroma but yes this is correct

Is there anyway of applying these boot images to the TMo note 3 if you doubt have a recovery installed? I just don't want to trip Knox
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kevinrocksman:
which file?

yes just drag the boot animation.zip to /system/media and set permissions to rw-r-r
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] theusername:
It still plays the T-Mobile boot animation, and not the one I downloaded. Do I need to delete any of the existing QMG's?

---------- Post added at 07:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:43 PM ----------

And just to be clear I extracted the bootanimation.zip from the file and placed it in system/media. Then fixed the permissions
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kevinrocksman:
Ya u also need to drag the bootanimation file to system/bin and set permissions. Not sure what those are off the top of my head though
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] theusername:
That did, that's man! So any chance you could just make a stock Samsung logo boot like off the factory unlocked carrier free note 3?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] chstewart:
For those that have problems with the file not found go to kevinrocksman.com. He has them all upload there under the boot animations folder
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] theusername:
Hey Kevin, you have been so awesome with all the boot animation help I thought I would ask you this. Do you have the stock bootanimation file that's in the system/bin folder? Thanks in advance.

Help me out guys. After flashing the nexus boot animation from this thread my phone seem to have a hard time turning on. It will turn on and say Galaxy Note 3 (keep in mind that it hasn't gone into the actual boot animation) then the screen will go black and it will vibrate twice and repeat the process over and over again. After constant powering down and trying to reboot from recovery It finally boots up. Any idea how to fix this? Any help greatly appreciated :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] devynbf:
Kevin is back at it again!!

Good to see ya again man, let's get some Bleach bootups?

The And-"roid" file is "not found" :silly: But many of the others are.

Also, the Haters Gonna Hate boot ani is tiny when booting! Any way to get it to be the right size?

Thanks so much for compiling this for us, Imma send some of my viewers here!

Hi Kevin,

Can you make a 1080p boot animation of Android pissing on Apple? There is an older one out there that someone did for the S2 but it probably wouldnt look good on the Note 3 due to the resolution increase.

Been a minute homie.. Hope all is well, here's a boot anime that has the community interested in. Maybe we can get this set up on our Note3.. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2628186
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dwitherell:
Fwiw - I took a peek at those last night and as long as you are set up to be able to use bootanimation.zip stuff already (which I think you should be able to if you've used any of [MENTION=2094849]kevinrocksman[/MENTION]s flashables) all you need to do is grab the N5 version(s), rename them to bootanimation.zip, and drop them in to /system/media (rw-r--r--) and you should be good to go. Might be nice to have a flashable version though (looks to OP) :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shoeprano27:
can i flash any of these animations on an s4?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JoshuaFCB:
excuse my stupidity but what exactly is the N5" version?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dwitherell:
Not a stupid question, no worries :)

If you follow the links, you will end up at a site with 4 different downloads to choose from (

) - my comment was saying the versions made for the nexus 5 (those that have N5 in their file name) need no adjustments and work fine as-is on the note 3 due to similar resolutions. Hope that helps!

This is a question best fit for the ROMs developer...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ajster1989:
I would find out what base rom the developer built on, its very unlikely a dev would take the time to disable boot sound. You just need to know what type of file, where to put it, and what to call it.

Idk what happened but I flashed the Haters Gonna Hate Zip and now I have no boot animation period, just darkness, I went back and tried to flash the original via Aroma same thing. I'm on 4.4.2 Infamous ROM if that helps, anybody know of a fix?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ajster1989:
If you still have the zip file for your rom extract it.

Grab the file "/system/bin/bootanimation" and your "bootanimation.zip" of choice

Using a root explorer put them on your phone in the same locations.

Dont screw up, and good luck.

Thanks I appreciate the help, unfortunately I got the same problem only this time the led doesn't come on only darkness, now the step you didn't mention was to fix permissions, but from a few years of replacing system files I did this automatically after, is that why it's still not working?

Put the file "bootsnimation" in system/bin/

Put a bootanimation.zip file in system/media/

Fix permisdions and reboot.

Please keep in mind that I don't have 4.4.2 so your testing this for me. Bootanimation file will either work or be ignored (no animation)

Thanks and good luck

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ajster1989:
boot animations only show the real size, so If the animation is 480p and our screens are 1080p is not going to fill the space. You can extract the zip, resize the files, and rezip it.

Also try Boot Box

Hi guys, sorry if this is a "noob" question or that its in the wrong section or whatever, I am new here and this is my first post so please bear with me.

So today I was trying to install cyanogen mod which is so hard? And I did something wrong and I went into recovery mode to reset the phone and accidently deleted the OS... Now the phone is pretty much useless. I researched it and they say do a factory reset with odin(whatever that is, I dont know) and then the phone should be back to normal... I dont know how to do this and am panicking! Please help me get my phone back to normal? I wanted to install cyanogen mod because I wanted the theme to be black and white instead of black and cyan like it is on stock and I wanted a new kernel to improve performance and battery life which sucks on a stock nexus 4. Any help much appreciated...

Also, Nexus 4 Toolkit v2.0 doesn't have android 4.3 on it yet? It says it only updates on the pro version? I DESPERATELY NEED HELP PLEASE!

Thank you everyone, sorry for being so noob and urgent, cheers! :o

Download and install this: http://www.wugfresh.com/

Follow the instructions on the driver installation and choose the RAW drivers. Seem to work better than the other options. Leave the phone in the bootloader. Don't touch the phone besides plugging it into the computer. Once everything is done driver wise, choose Soft-bricked/bootloop. Be sure that you have the factory image from Google itself. Doing this method will reset everything. So be sure to do any backups if you can. I'm not at fault if you ruin your phone even more.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Birdsfan:
Click on this link and read the instructions...then read them again and follow to the letter. http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/ Andel7539 was pointing you in the same direction, just be patient and read the instructions. There is an option to reload the original O/S, then you can move on from there. Odin is a Samsung interface, not what you need for an LG phone. For what it's worth I did the same thing before by accident but had a backup (nandroid) just in case of emergency's which you should also have for situations such as this. When in doubt Google and read, Google and read!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] valeriee:
Thank you... I still cannot do it because I cannot enable USB debugging. I've seen all the guides but they all require USB debugging and I cannot get into the phone to enable it? If I try to start the phone up it will just be stuck at the google logo but I can get into the fastboot menu and recovery menu too. Please help?

Also, do I need Cyanogen mod to use kernels? Or do I just need to root? I only wanted Cyanogen mod in the first place for better performance and battery life but I hear there are kernels that allow you to have both? Please guide me through this guys, I am very noob, sorry about this. Cheers!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gafanhotz:
Just for the record, bootloader/fastboot mode have nothing to do with usb debugging. Do you know at least how to boot to the bootloader? (Power + Volume Keys)

You don't need usb debugging to save your phone. Follow the instructions and you will do it.

And no, you don't need CM to use custom kernels, just a custom recovery to flash them and an version of the kernel compatible with your Android version.

Search about how to install adb on your PC and how to "sideload" zips in it. Then sideload the CM zip. Or search how to use fastboot and use it to flash the google factory image on your phone.
