Do you want that sweet sweet CyanogenMod goodness but can't follow anything in the forums? Well, I can't take any credit for this, as I'm only copying this file from the official CyanogenMod and posting it.
Copy to /data/local/bootanimation.zip
Reboot.
Feel 7.43% cooler.
Did not work for me. Placed it on /data/local/bootanimation.zip.
I later tried /mnt/sdcard/data/local, in case I got that wrong. did not work either. I'm using a Desire Z ROM, in case that matters.
As a side note: I find it quite odd that the phone is now re-booting in a matter of seconds, basically cutting the "HTC, quietly brilliant" boot animation in half and getting me almost instantly to the actual OS.
Works for me! Can't wait til CM gets a solid ROM out.
Thanks.

I noticed that too...what an awesome surprise! apparently any custom boot animation will cut boot time in half!!! This really needs to announced so I'll let the others know...
how would you do this with terminal? i tried
cp /data/local/bootanimation.zip and it gave me cp not found
i then tried /mnt sdcard/data/local/bootanimation.zip and it says not found
??
help please
Woah woah
To the first poster asking about "fast boot" that is a setting in settings applications development OF THE SENSE ROM.
To the fourth poster asking where "fastboot" is that's the fastboot query in the SPL bootloader.
Two entirely different things.

ok so i ended up moving it via root explorer.. but i still want to learn how to do this with just the terminal... any commands that you guys can throw would be awesome
Hope someone can help. Have full root and bacon. Have tried putting a different boot animation in both the data/local and the system/media and if I put anything other than the stock boot animation I just get a black screen after splash. No faster boot time, it actually takes longer.

I'm having the same problem with a custom boot animation I put together last night. I'm running the CyanogenMod RC and the default CM animation plays fine. Mine on the other hand opens and plays just fine with the boot animation preview app but when I rename it to bootanimation.zip and push it to system/media all I get is the black screen, I don't think it's a permissions issue (chmod 777). I did not push it to data/local but there's not currently a bootanimation.zip in there so I don't think that would affect it either.
Anyone have any suggestions?

user is talking about HTC FAST BOOT, found in the DESIRE Z. it allows the phone to power-on in about 10 seconds (or seemingly less). the phone basically sleeps, and only requires a full boot, if the battery is pulled.

is there anyway of going without a splash screen, and just having bootanimation run from the time you turn on phone till desktop pops up??
i have search forums cant find anything, or overlooked it.
As for no splash screen, I don't believe so. If you wanted, you could make a blank one of sort if it bothers you that much.
it doesnt bother me, hell got a custom one installed, i just have one bootanimation that gets cut off cause my phone loads fast, and i dont see whole bootanimation. so a blank one would do the same. but ty

Well if you needed it to be longer, you could try getting a different one, or decreasing the frames per second.
no you can't. the splash is a very basic image, that is executed by the boot.img alone, while the boot.img is loading the system. once the system is (at least partially) loaded, it can start the boot animation. correct me if i'm wrong (probably am) but i think that's how it works. either way, you need a splash.

teh metaldude strikes again. haven't seen him lately.
cool guys thanx for all the responding, i will stick with bootanimation i have. and to get full animation that i wanted i would to increase frames per sec. to see more of the animation instead of decreasing making it slower and seeing less of the animation. but again thanx for your help. glad i joined this forum it has been a big help since rooting my evo

I made one up pretty quick, works fine and is looped, I am working on finding a better resolution as it is has black bar on top and bottom, when I finish a full screen version I will hook u up
Just go into any root explorer and go to: data>local and rename the bootanimation.zip file to bootanimation.bak and then copy this one in the same folder.

Finally completed it!! Full screen, runs smooth, and loops. I had to keep it short though, I tried lots of different ways but they always started off too slow or had choppy issues.

How often is everyone rebooting their phone?? I saw my boot animation once.. The first boot after flashing a rom. Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems like a ridiculous thing to care about

I reboot my phone every morning when flashing the newest CM10 nightly. And I always flash the stock jelly bean animation just because I like having a "pure" Android experience!

With all devices, I reboot maybe three times a week just to refresh. I like to see a custom or nice animation when it's loading. Really I'm trying change my splash screen. Coming from og evo, this must be done.

The great thing about Android is ability to customize. Why leave out the bootanimation?
For someone that is always flashing different roms/updates it is nice to see animation you choose to see. Just another part of the whole theme experience. Personally, I hate the stock animation because there are ones that are so much better and it is so easy to change them.
We all have our likes and dislikes. I flash Roms a lot + power cycle my phone daily. I like seeing different boot animations.

everybody wants to control and be independent. so why not experience that with urban phone even with something that people think meaningless like bootanimation. is that not why ur using a android phone not that out of the box thats what u get deal with it look from apple. just saying android gives us the customization and personalization no other OS would give us!

What's a boot animation?
Just kidding.
Its just another customization available to some ableAndroid users. I changed mine a few times (as a see if I could do it...) I also don't reboot often unless Im flashing a lot, so I never see if often either but when I do, it makes a smile.

All kidding aside..............
as has been said several times, the ability to customize and make it different.
It's kind of like having a chrome differential cover on a low rider.
Very few people will ever see it, but it is special to the owner because he knows he has it.
one thing to remember... these phones are basically computers and should have a soft reset done every now and then to amke sure that memory has been released back to the system. I usually turn off my phone and pull the battery for 30 seconds once a week. you should also be rebooting your PC about once a week or after running a lot of programs as RAM is volatile memory and anything left in RAM is removed during a reboot.
I have to agree with you on this... Could Care less what the phone did at boot up.. Lol. The faster the better. Some really like though, it's an option, so why not use it if you like it.

It's just one more thing that people love to customize. For those who do have to reboot their phone often, it's nice to have something you actually want to look at. (Some stock boot animations are rather annoying to watch over and over, lol) Personally, I like to have one that is mostly dark so I don't feel like it's wasting precious battery juice on unnessesary bright colors! lo

How to change splash screen (made easy)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1928751
Sent from my Jelly Bombed SGS3
I am new to Samsung phones. Two week agao, I got the S2 T989 with broken screen very cheap, so I decided to replace the screen and learn about. This week I got the screen and fix it. It doea works great and I love it, but I have a problem with. I had previously 2 HTC phones - MT4G and MT4G slide. I was able to get the S=off and had full control of my phone. I put my own splash logo and bootanimation. I flashed many roms and never brick them. Now I have a dilemma as I can not flash my own splash logo as it is part of boot system. I am average "joe" not any software developer. Can I replace the bootloader or flash my own logo - as I did on HTC?. Sorry for the rant, but I was under impression that I own the phone and can do whatever I want to with.
Splash logos are hard to change on samsung phones. Bootanimation is easy but splash is usually embedded in the framework of rom or phone itself.

Splash logos are the hardest to change. I used to put my business logo on my old HTC phones. I was strictly htc for a while. I leaped to galaxy and love it. They have an app in the playstore I heard of that might be able to help. I never tried it myself. BUt if you want to give it a try it's called SGS2 BootScreen Changer and its compatible with the T989 because it came up when i searched it.

Hi, folks!
I'm kinda new to the XPeria S - got mine yesterday - but not to the community: had a Motorola Defy for over 2 years before the XS, and a HTC Magic before the Defy, both dealing with flashing on a weekly basis. My question is: on both my previous Android phones, changing splash screen (the one that appears before boot animation) was quite simple: on Magic, pushing a file via adb or fastboot (can't remember now), and on Defy a multi-purpose app did the trick. On XS, though, splash screen seems to be tied to the kernel image. I'd like to know if there's any way to change that, since I really want a splash screen of my choice, instead of the one chosen by the kernel dev. Thanks in advance.
