[Q] Questions about changing bootanimations and boot audio? - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Followed this thread, says you have to add some lines to the "winusb.inf" file after running SDK Manager.

But still nothing but the same boot. I'm running Virtuous2.7 w/ KxKBFS#4 with most bloatware removed but still has Sense btw.
So my question is, when naming and pushing the files, is it bootanimation.zip and android_audio.mp3 + adb push to data/local directory?
Or is VZW_bootanimation.zip and VZW_Droid.mp3 + adb push to system/customize/resource/???
Thanks in advance.

It is VZW_bootanimation.zip and VZW_Droid.mp3 that is what I used when I changed mine.

Place your bootanimation.zip in system/media.
Do not follow the guide as it's outdated.

So you boot bootanimation.zip in /system/media along with VZW_Droid.mp3 ? to get a custom boot animation along with audio?

If you are running a virtuous rom our any rom off the leak for the incredible, the boot animation was moved for whatever reason to system/customize/resource..

That was true in the past, but not with later versions of Virtuous. The location is system/media/bootanimation.zip and system/media/android_audio.mp3

(Q)>_< Deleted bootanimation.zip.....how can i get it back?

So I was screwing around trying to push a boot animation, deleted the bootanimation.zip in system/media and now all I have is the android boot ani.
Anyone know where I can find the bootanimation.zip from system/media, so I can at least flash boot animations again?
Thanks
It'll be in the install zip for whichever ROM you're currently using. Same place /system/media/.

I tried that and also tried one from a theme, no go. In the end I flashed the hc2.0 theme again and that fixed me right up.

[Q] Epic 4G boot animation change

I would like to be able to backup the stock boot animation first, which im guessing all I have to do is copy it over to the SD card, correct me if im wrong. And would like to replace it with the one in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZkADy9-Xcg
it comes with a dl link but is in the zip format. I hear that samsung has to be .qmg so if anyone can convert this into the proper qmg file thatd be great. Im running the epic 4g stock rom with twilight kernal
Can anyone help??
The stock animation can be pulled from your phone by adb or a file browser from /system/media called bootanimation.zip.

There is no bootanimation.zip in /system/media
just a bunch of qmg files

It will be bootani.qmg. but you can't do .zip files unless your kernal supports it. I use drockstars clean kernal eco5 which has voodoo support and boot ani. What stock are you using?

You need a kernel that supports custom bootanimation like genocide kernel

[Q]BootAnimations?

I don't find any thread regarding bootanimations on Desire Z so I would like to ask some questions as I am new to this.
I managed to successfully root my Desire z and I have installed [ROM][6/5/11] InsertCoin_Vision Sense2.1 + 3.0 (v1.5) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1080999).
Now I would like to know how to change the bootanimations, I did some searching on the site and found the following guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846394).
Problem is there are several method and there's a specific method for Sense ROM. If I am using InserCoin with Vision Sense 2.1, which method should I follow?
Any ideas or advise on this? Thank you.
Easiest way to change boot animations is using something like root explorer. Download the boot animation you want and make sure it is named bootanimation.zip the copy it to system/customize/ resource and set the permissions correctly.
If check the themes and apps sections of other handsets you will find loads of boot animations. So will even be packaged as flashable zips

I tried to wipe all the data in /data/local using root explorer and put the bootanimation.zip. Nothing showed up when I reboot my Z.
I browsed to system/customize/resource and found there's the default bootanimation.zip from HTC. I have backed that up and was going to overwrite it with the new bootanimation.zip but it won't allow me because the file system is read only. I tried to change the permission but no luck.
Any help with this?

top right corner of the screen when you're in root explorer there is a little switch which says r/w. click it then you will be able to back up you original boot animation, and paste a new one in

Wow, thanks for the note. Did that and it's working fine..love it.. thanks..
You can also use the UOT kitchen. It has a lot of bootanimations available and is real simple to use. Here is the link...

Check system/media for sanim.zip and rename yours to sanim.zip and delete the old one...

Jellybean and Boot Animations

Hey everyone, every time I try to change my boot animation it never works and gives me the stock AOSP android screen. It doesn't matter which ROM or boot animation OR method of adding it. I can be in CM10 or paranoid android and it won't work. It can be any animation and it won't work. I can adb push, use ROM toolbox, or copy manually and it won't work. Any help is needed please.

Changing permission !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've never done that !!!!!!!!!!!!
And, what are right permissions.
Posted from a smartphone which is my Note(memo)Pad thats why everybody says it Galaxy "Note"
bootanimation.zip copy paste to system/media and reboot. That's how I always do it and never had issues.

The same for moving apps to the system. The bootanimation.zip has to be rw-r--r--

Place the file in /system/media/bootanimation.zip. It will get wiped when performing ROM upgrades. I've read that also placing the file in /data/local/bootanimation.zip will overwrite what's placed in /system/media/bootanimation.zip but I haven't tried it.
BTW, I user ROM Toolbox and AniBoot to download and install boot animations.

Yep, putting boot animation.zip in /data/local is much easier and safer. You don't have to bother setting permissions there. It doesn't delete the one in /system/media, it just takes precedence over it. The system looks in /data/local first, and if no boot animation is there it runs the one in /system/media instead.
Thanks guys
