how do i change the boot animation ?Is it the same as the splash?i have the droid incredible 2.2 froyo.i like the audio when it boots but would like to change the animation only?
There are many guides on this, feel free to search for the terms "push bootanimation" if you want to use ADB to transfer the files although you can also use a file manager.

This has been bugging me forever. I love the Ion ROM for its speed but I hate not changing the boot logo (not splash1, the boot animation). I've discovered why/how the Ion ROM is different and how to fix it (partway).
First off, Ion doesn't use the standard boot.gif & boot.mp3 files in /system/media. If you try to place the files there you will get no response. Instead Google, for whatever the reason, has changed it into framework-res.apk.
If you unzip framework-res.apk the files are inside (unzipped dir)/assets/images/. They are named android-logo-mask.png, which is the text that says Android on boot, and android-logo-shine.png, which is the white & blue shine that slides across the text as it boots. You can simply change these out and resign the apk with your method of choice to change the icon.
Now on to the sound, the ROM ships with 2 boot sounds that I can't seem to distinguish other than the names. They are located in framework-res as well, in (unzipped dir)/assets/sounds. They are named bootanim0.raw & bootanim1.raw. A good audio editor for opening .raw files is Wavepad Sound Editor by NCH Swift Sound. It works well and handles the files with ease and has a free version or a 30 day trial available.
For whatever the reason, the sound doesn't play on boot by default. I haven't had a lot of time to mess with it but I believe the problem lies in init.rc when it calls the boot image, I know thats how it works on other ROMs but I haven't looked into Ion init.rc yet. You can probably tweak the init.rc to call the bootanim0.raw file to play when the logo shows. I will play around with it.
Hope this helps anyone else with this problem and PM me or post in this thread and I will try to help with any problems you have

..if you have a non-Rooted phone then it is a no as far as I can remember.
..if you want to get rid of those carrier logo, startup and shutdown screen.. then upgrade your firmware.
.. i have the original I9000 and updated the firmware to JG1 a few weeks back to remove the singtel carrier logo.. now, I can enjoy the full Galaxy S logo animation during startup and shutdown.
i would be interested into changing the galaxy S boot animation with a custom boot like the android robot pissing on the apple logo

so does someone succed in installing some less apple friendly logo
Using the samsung ROMs the only replacement you can get for boot animations are boot animations from other samsung androids that use the same *.QMG files to store the animation. These are QMAGE files, its a compressed file with all the image frames stored inside it.
We have to wait for a hacked kernel so we can use bootanimation.zip files like every other android phone.
I too would like to my boot animation. But for now all i can change is the shutdown
What the heck... a year thread rescue.

Just root your phone and follow the steps below
1. get your desired bootanimation (i cant point you to specific threads but here's my favorite )
2.once you get your desired bootanimation, place it on the root of your sdcard, (internal sd card not external)
its actually easy to replace your bootanimation once you learn how to install adb tool (i had this even before i owned an android phone coz its part of the android sdk)
3. all you have to do is type adb shell in command line
and these commands:
su
busybox mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system
busybox cp mnt/sdcard/bootanimation.zip system/media/
reboot
you're phone should reboot and you can see the changes immediately
Hey all. I'm having trouble adding a custom boot animation. I've been trying to use adb push to move it to /data/local/. It seems to work initially. Cmd shows it moved over the full zip file and I can see it in my phone with root explorer but when I restart my phone it just uses the default animation. I'm trying to switch to the bios boot animation that I've found on the forums. Ive only had my Incredible for about a week so its mainly stock other than rooted. Any advice? Thanks

My boot animation is actually in /system/customize/resource, maybe you could try sending it there and see if it works? Also, just checking, it is named bootanimation.zip right? I believe that matters lol, not sure. I'm sorry if I wasn't helpful, I don't exactly know much about boot animations tbh.

Yeah, it has the right name but still isn't working even in the folder you suggested. Also the zip file just has the part0, part1, and desc.txt files in it so I'm not sure exactly what the problem is. I'm pretty new to the droid scene. Thanks for trying though.
Finally! After a lot of searching I found out it needs to be named VZW_bootanimation.zip and the sound file is VZW_Droid.mp3 with Froyo at least. It actually is in /system/customize/resource/ after all. I just didn't scroll that far down since I didn't know about the name change. It does replace the stock animation file though so I saved it in another folder before replacing it in case I ever want to go back. Thanks for the help
The file name and location depend on the ROM being used.

Ok, I like playing with boot animations on my device. And I have this quirk for running everything I can on the device, rather than through ADB, unless I have to. While digging through assorted threads, here and abroad, I ran across a nifty app called GScript lite, free on the Market, and amazingly useful. On another thread, someone pointed out that if you copy a boot animation to /data/local, it will take precedence over any boot animations that your favorite ROM may install. So, I decided to simplify changing boot ani's, so I can swap them around whenever I feel like it. I now have it down to about 30 sec, and decided to post this for everyone interested to try it. Ok, so, here's the details;
Requirements: GScript lite, file manager, new boot animations
1) Download the animation you want to try to your SDcard
2) Copy the zip to /mnt/sdcard
3) Rename animation file "bootanimation.zip"
4) Open GScript and hit menu
a) Type in whatever you want to call the script in the top
box
b) Make sure "Needs SU?" is checked
c) Type cp /mnt/sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local
<enter>
reboot
d) Now hit "save"
5) Just press your scriptname in the list and enjoy!
From here on out, to change boot animations, all you need to do is copy the renamed file to SD root, and click on that script, phone will reboot showing your brand new animation. "Share and Enjoy!"
I'd like to thank the GScript devs for a very useful tool, and Kaanha for the commands
Click the Thanks button if this helps you.
Nice...definitely makes switching them pretty simple. Thanks!

Works like a charm!!!!
Thanks Much!!!
There are a few apps on the Market that can do this as well, no Terminal knowledge required (or scripts)
Simply search for your bootanimation from the GUI and it should do the job for you...
Boot Animation Changer Lite comes to mind, it's free.
There are a few other ones if you search for bootanimation on the Market.
Hope this helps. Good luck
perfect, worked like a charm, enjoying my honeycomb animation now. thank you.

Link me to your honeycomb animation?
*Edit nevermind i just used the boot animation from the honeycomb port 18 thanks.
this is a boot animation that i converted from the intro of matrix 1 movie. I do not own this animation the owners are the owners of the matrix movie.
i simply converted it to animation and formatted it for 1280 x 720 screens
it starts with matrix code then says "the matrix" and after that you get the green cursor blinking.
this took hours to do so thank me if you are thankful.
to make this your shutdown animation, name the zip "shutdownanimation.zip" (no caps) and drop and replace any existing file in /system/media/
if you want to save your old animation just rename it before you drop the file there. ( youll need to use a program like ES file explorder with root access and mount system directory in order for this to work ) then unmount after, and reboot.
same goes for bootanimation the file name is bootanimation.zip sometimes this goes in /system/media/ but more likely then not the boot animation goes in /data/local/ if you want to be safe just copy it to both locations. again ES file explorer is capable of accessing your data folder.
(root required)
any damage done to your phone is your own fault, only use this file if your phone has a screen resolution of 1280x720
if you have another resolution phone you can open the desc.txt file in notepad++ and change the resolution and it should work, just make sure you use the right resolution and you change the smaller number with the smaller number and larger with larger or else your image will be distorted.
note: this method can change most animation resolutions as long as the dimensions are somewhat similar. android will scale the files, if not you'll see distorted images or nothing.
SIDE NOTE: i recommend testing all animations with shutdownanimation.zip FIRST. this way if there is an issue you can pull your battery and boot into your phone and fix it, if you create a problem with bootanimation it could be a little harder to fix, although most of the time a faulty animation will be skipped by the system rather than causing boot loops (most of the time, i have heard of problems thats why i recomend trying any animation not verified working with your phone as a shutdownanimation first)
note on some custom roms like Cyanogenmod you don't want to use a shutdownanimation. because it's shutdown process is like 2 seconds, stock roms do alot of reflashing during shutdown (or something to that nature) and its more like an 8 second shutdown, in this case you'll see "phone shutting down" dialogue for 4-5 seconds" if you are getting that i would recommend using an animation as its much more pleasant to look at.
by the way this animation would look GREAT on a tablet, anything that's 1280x720 should be able to use the file straight up and any other resolution tablet just change the desc.txt file like i described above

another note is that if you unpack the zip at any time and have to repack it, use winrar and make sure you use compression method: STORE and not normal compression (this will cause black screen because the program expects a uncompressed zip file)
here is a matrix code animation that is portrait style instead of landscape with no "the matrix" words just the matrix code. i didn't make this one i just formatted it for 1280x720, i got it off the app "bootanimations root" and reformatted it.
if anyone is having trouble resizing an animation they like, post the animations .zip file here that you download for any other android phone or tablets animation that you want to use with your phone, give me the dimensions of your phone (this can be found by good your phones name and "specs" for instance for this phone lg p930 specs, youll get lists of specs for the phone, and it'll tell you this phone is 1280x720. so give me the zip from the animation you want to use and your phones resolution and i'll make the changes and repack the file for you. (if you dont use the right zip app and text editor it won't work)
Unable to flash it. Says invalid zip
