If your particular ROM has a non-HTC bootanimation and you wish to return to the original HTC 'Quietly Brilliant' version just do this...
Copy the appended file to the tools directory of android-sdk on your desktop PC. If you don't have android-sdk Google, download and install it.
Connect your phone by USB to your PC; select Synchronize on your phone when prompted and wait for the phone to settle and OK any prompts.
On your PC, open an xterm window on linux or run cmd -w on Windoze to get a terminal window
cd to your android-sdk/tools directory -Replace your own path in the following line!!!
Code:
cd /usr/bin/android-sdk-linux_86/tools
(the following commands are for linux; for windoze miss off the ./)
Code:
./adb kill-server
./adb start-server
./adb remount
the following line moves bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.bak so you have a backup of the ROM customiser's artwork.[
Code:
./adb shell mv /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.bak
now we are going to upload the HTC bootanimation.zip to replace the one we've just renamed and set file permissions.
Code:
./adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource/
./adb shell chmod 0644 /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
just to check...
Code:
./adb shell ls -la /system/customize/resource/boot*
should show two lines for bootanimation.bak and bootanimation.zip with each line starting -rw-r--r--
When you reboot your phone you should now have HTC's animation.
Just remember the bootanimation is not located in system/.... Sometimes it's located in data/local and in SenseHero it's located in system/media/bootscreen and then it's gif files so this doesen't work for SenseHero Nice guide BTW Also have you thaught about putting it into an update.zip to make it easier?

I'm still finding my way and haven't learnt to do that yet!
Here is an update_signed.zip of that bootanimation.zip.
I just signed it, didn't test.
EDIT: This places the bootanimation.zip to /system/media/bootanimation.zip

To work on the Villain Rom - bootanimation.zip must be in /system/customize/resource/
The signed update may well work with other roms?

actually that doesen't work for any ROMs. No ROMs has bootanimation.zip located there
Have a look at this thread as 1.5 bootscreens do actually work on 2.1 ROMs.
(You need to know where the bootanimation.zip is stored on your ROM first, as this needs to be removed.)
A signed update zip is appended which will return the Villain 12 Rom to HTC's 'Quietly Brilliant' animation.
This is ONLY for Villain 12. It over writes Villains boot animation so if you want to keep that as an alternative the adb push method above will be better.
It has been tested.
Thanks a lot, I've been trying to change my boot logo for some time now but didn't realise that VillainROM's was in a different location.

VillainRom puts bootanimation.zip in /system/customize/resource. It is the second boot screen to load.
To replace the VillainRom bootanimation with HTC's 'Quietly Brilliant' just run the update file appended.

Okay that's what I thaught What I meant with the first post was that if you just flash it i'ts not going to change the bootanimation straight away unless you put the bootanimation.zip in the folder where it's located by default

That's right yes. You need to remove the old one first. If it is a bootanimation.zip from 2.1 it needs to go where the original one was located. If it is a bootscreen folder from 1.5, it needs to go in /system/media.
Even if you flash an update.zip from 1.5 to change the bootscreen in a 2.1 ROM, you need to delete the bootanimation.zip from wherever the dev has located it in your ROM.
I am currently running VillianROM 12.0.0 and have just flashed the HTC bootanimation file without removing the original bootanimation.zip file.
Thought I would try this to see what would happen. I backed up my phone then flashed the update, rebooted and the new HTC boot screen was there.
I just checked and the original bootanimation is still in it folder, system/customize/resource.
I'm running a pretty clean install,only a few days old.
Hopefully this helps.

Im running CM 6.1.1-Stable with pershoots kernel (rooted via gfree method) and I am trying to use the Droid X boot animation on my phone. However, I keep getting the default android bootanimation with silver text with the word "android" and some intermittent shining of the text.
I downloaded the bootanimation from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=710204
I copied both the audio and the bootanimation.zip files to /system/media according to these instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9118652&postcount=12
It erases the cyanogenmod boot animation, but instead i get the default silver android text bootanimation. I tried deleting the system/media/bootanimation.zip file and placing the new bootanimation.zip and audio in /data/local but this resulted in the same default bootanimation.
Am I missing something here? Most people seem to be able to easily change their bootanimation by pushing the file to /data/local, but for me, the cyanogenmod bootanimation in /system/media seems to take priority. Either way, pushing the bootanimation to either /system/media or /data/local is not working. Any ideas?
Also, do I need to do anything special to get the droid sound to work besides pushing it along with the bootanimation.zip file?
Anyone? Id really appreciate any insight that can be offered!
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
it's because the first link is for changing the boot animation
the second link is for changing the splash image
you need to find the directions for overwriting the bootanimation, not the splash image.
fwiw, i was looking for the instructions when i found this thread
here's the instructions you're looking for
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10230516&postcount=26
Are you doing an ADB Remount? Try this:
Code:
adb devices
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
If it doesn't work for the /data/local then do the following:
Code:
adb devices
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
NOTE: I put it in the code box because essentially that's what it is. Make sure when you do the ADB Push you put the full file path where the bootanimation.zip is located
Reboot the phone to see if it takes the change. Either that, or you can always try an ADB Shell > bootanimation. This will show the boot animation, and then just CTRL + C to stop it. But if the ADB shell doesn't show it, definitely try a reboot and let us know.
Good luck
Still the same

I have exactly the same problem with my desire S. Nothing seems to be working apart from the regular android animation (not even the original rom animation which i re copied). Was this ever solved?
I have tried flashing damm near every Animated Boot Screen i have made flashable from XDA and none wanna work..
what am i suppose to do to get a diff boot animation screen on this device??
Adb:
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
adb reboot
Root explorer:
enable r/w mode
move the bootanimation.zip file to the /system/media folder
I just got mine to work, only took a minute to do. If you go to root explorer do he following.
1. find the file in system/customize/resources named bootanimation.zip (it may have something else in front of it. Mine was spc_bootanimation.zip)
2. click at the top where is says r/w
3. find the boot animation you want to find and long press and choose mve
4. put it in the file system/customize/resources and paste it there
5. longress and change the permissions to match the origial one
6. change the name of the old one (i put a one at the end of bootanimation)
7. change the nam of the new anmation to what the original was
8. change back to r/o same way you changed to r/w
9. reboot nd enjoy.

Just for future reference, if you ever say 'I thought CM was sense' someone of ignorance spots it, they'll flame you horribly.
But yea, CM = AOSP = No sense. So you have to push the bootanimation.zip to the correct folder,
Crap, I was confused I forgot I flashed from evo deck which was cm kernel and aosp, I'm now on misfits rc1 which is like a sense/gengersense mix, really nice, but not cm. I forgot I changed to misfit therefore te cm being sense lol. My own ignorence. Thanks for the info man. I'm still learning very slowly lol.

Well easy to get it confused because there are 'senseless' roms, which is htc sense removed, so it LOOKS like AOSP, with the vanilla [CM style lock screen]. You just have to make sure what the rom says in the features, ect.
If you can't/not good with adb, you can use root explorer [purchase or search through google] to move it to the correct folder.
Thats what I did, using root explorer and it works great. With adb I get it to find my phone but when I try to push something to it, it starts to go and then fails says no remote access or something like that. With some research everything I found saysit's because myhboot is 2.10 and with that hboot you can't flash but since my buil is the 40000 block build I cant downgrade my hboot so had to find a work around.

You can use adb with hboot 2.10, I do so all the time. Just when using adb, be sure to always enter in adb remount before doing anything. It would look like this:
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
adb reboot
And you'd be done.

wooo hoo im convinced i have to be either the dumbest person on this site orrrrr im being over cautious.. when i went intothe system/media folder it said audio only.. no other file was in there just that folder which was a sub folder for alarms, notofications, ringtones, ui
am i missing somthing
One day, I made a uot theme for cm7 and instead of choosing cm7 for bootanimation, I chose sense. It worked. BUT when I flashed new themes with different bootanimations that I correctly chose cm7 for, it didn't work. It stayed on the sense one. Trying reflashing cm7 and then move files.with root explorer
A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on Android OS. We now have CyanogenMod.
ok if i wasnt confused before.. now i definitely am.. HUHHHH
Go to system/customize/resource and delete bootanimation.zip and whatever the audio file is.. if there is one. Then try to flash your bootanimation
A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on Android OS. We now have CyanogenMod.
Christ...
OK, look, for CyanogenMod-based ROMs, just put the bootanimation.zip in /data/local
No screwing around with /system, or anything. Plus, this way, you'll keep your boot animation even if you upgrade the ROM, like from 7.0.3.1 to 7.1.0.
So when it's all said and done, the ZIP file should be
Code:
/data/local/bootanimation.zip
Enjoy.

boot into fastboot mode (power off, hold back + power) and plug in via usb
open cmd and type:
Code:
cd\
fastboot flash slpash1 slpash1.img
uhm, you do realize, that kuljit55 wants to change the bootanimation, not the splash-screen?
Can't help you with your question tho.
Edit: I'm having the suspicion, that you just need to drop the zip-file into /data/local .
crap, my bad got confused (that's why I gave android flasher in the first place).. lol sorry ^_^
In /data/local or /system/media you should find a file called bootanimation.zip. Replace this file with yours and reboot. Now you should see the new bootanimation.

Nope, not in Oxygen. I think the oxy-bootanimation is in the framework-file, but if you put a bootanimation.zip into /data/local, your phone should show this animation during bootup instead of the original one

Make sure your device is rooted and has a working rom with usb debugging enabled!
How to change it:
download the android SDK and make sure its updated
go to the platform-tools folder
place bootanimation.zip in it
open cmd go to the platform tools folder at cmd and fill in these commands (make sure you got a rooted device and have usb debugging enabled NOT IN FASTBOOT)
adb device (if you see your device its good and get to the next stap)
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
reboot your device now and you will see the new boot animation

Nice idea, but not totally correct.
The path that you gave is correct for some roms, not all. Stock sense roms have bootanimation in system/customize/resources,
The path you gave works if custom bootanimation location is enabled in kitchen while cooking your rom.
So just search a little bit more, widen your tutorial and everything will be perfect.
Plus, in my oppinion there are a few easier ways to change bootanimation.
Sent from my HTC Desire via flashes and thunders
Here's on how to do it WITHOUT a computer.
Prerequisites :-
Rooted phone
An application that allows root exploration (root explorer, ES File explorer)
A rom that allows custom bootanimation.. I think all roms allow it, but I might be wrong here. Do search it up before attempting.
Bootanimation.zip
Step 1 : Copy your bootanimation to your phone (if you're using a computer)
Step 2 : Navigate to /data/local (for AOSP) or system/customize/resources (for sense. Not sure if path is correct but the poster above mentioned it is.)
Step 3 : Rename the original bootanimation.zip to something else, like bootanimation.zip.bkup, Just incase you need it next time.
Step 4 : Copy the bootanimation you want to /data/local
Step 5 : Reboot
Step 6 : Profit.

Yes, that's native location of bootanimation for sense roms, but it can be change during process of making of rom (same as AOSP). Also all of this doesn't work for MIUI.

thats why im using adb so i can access the files at recovery
I have been banging my head against the wall for days now regarding this problem and can't quite figure it out. I created my own boot animation and was able to get that running just fine. I wanted to add a boot sound as well, so I did my homework and followed the instructions to a T. I resolved an error that I was getting while running the command sh bootsnd.sh, but even after it ran successfully I still was left with no boot sound. In the /system/media folder I have an mp3 named android_audio.mp3. I also verified that the build.prop file in the system folder had the line ro.config.play.bootsound=1 in it as well. I am currently running CM9 RC2 on my T-Mobile G2. Is there something I am missing? Can the G2 even play boot sounds? Has anyone gotten boot sounds to run on their G2? If so, how? Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated and thank you all in advance for any help you may be able to provide.

I double checked to make sure, but yeah the permissions were set correctly.
I can run the command 'stagefright -a -o /system/media/android_audio.mp3' from the terminal and it plays the sound without a problem.
Any other suggestions?
Are you calling it in desc.txt inside the bootanimation? I'm sure that's a part of it.
-Nipqer
I don't know if this makes a difference at all, but in the rom I use (EliteMod ICS, modified CM9 kernel, AOKP rom), seems you need to only place an boot_audio.mp3 file into /system/media/ , much like how you place boot animation.zip in /system/media, and chmod 644

I did some additional research and did find a few references to adding the audio to the desc.txt file by adding a line like this 's android_audio.mp3' to it. I tried doing this and it borked the entire thing. On the reboot I saw the HTC logo, then was met by a black screen with no sound for a few moments before my home screen appeared.

I don't know if this makes a difference at all, but in the rom I use (EliteMod ICS, modified CM9 kernel, AOKP rom), seems you need to only place an boot_audio.mp3 file into /system/media/ , much like how you place boot animation.zip in /system/media, and chmod 644
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I tried renaming it and changing the permissions again only to be met again by silence.
Thank you both for the suggestions. Do you guys have anything else I could try?
