Well i have a rooted HTC Desire and its on MIUI-XJ 1.4.29 2.3.3 Gingerbread and it is rooted.
Im wondering how to change the boot animation. The "Theme Manager" seems to not find .ZIP's so i got the Boot Animation Changer from Applanet and it doesn't seem to import animations.
So if anyone can help me change boot animations.
If I'm not wrong, the bootanimation for the MIUI rom is placed in /system/media, so use adb or root explorer and simply place the zip file there

So I've been making attempts at replacing my shutdown animation (on Evil's Sense G2-Z ROM), but have been having troubles.
I've created a shutdown animation at the same resolution as the original, and put that into a downanimation.zip with folder "android" and desc.txt, which sets the parameters for the shutdown animation (the downanimation.zip goes into /system/customize/resource). The desc.txt is the exact same as that in the original downanimation.zip. As far as I can tell, the only differences between my downanimation.zip and the original is file size (their images are very plain, whereas mine are a bit more detailed) and the timestamp.
Now here's where it gets really quite weird. If I edit one image and replace it from the original shutdown animation, it stops working. Which made me think that there's something messed up with how I'm zipping my files. BUT if I change the name of my downanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip (in the same folder as downanimation.zip), and reboot my phone, my shutdown animation works just fine as the startup animation.
So. Anyone have any ideas how to change the shutdown animation, or on what I'm doing wrong?
What are you using to zip the files?

Yemuzip on OS X.
have you found a solution yet?
ive done the same thing, encountered a weird problem tho.
it only accepts a zip which is set to store not compressed for boot but shutdown none works.. i wonder if it is the file size that is the issue or something else.
if i changed the shutdown/downanimation i cannot boot into bootloader "pwr+vol down" on desire HD. have to boot to clockwork and adb shell rm /system/customize/resources/shutdown.zip/downanimation.zip and then it can boot into bootloader again but shutdown/restart screen would be blank.. weird.

Yes all guides I've seen say that the bootanimation.zip on the Desire HD (/data/local/) needs to be zipped without compression (using "store" method of compression). I would assume it's safe to do the same thing for the shutdown animation. Thanks for the folder where the shutdown animations are stored on the Desire HD. I was having a little trouble finding it as it's different from other android phones. Just a spelling error though, it's /system/customize/resource/ not "resources"
SOLVED here. Tq.
hi, i already change my both animation, i did it successfully via root explorer (copy/paste) but after i replace the default downanimation with my new one i have only a black screen when shutting down or reboot my desire
i dont know where the problem can be cuz i did it correctly, both down and boot animation are located in data/local
bootanimation working and downanimation just blackscreen.
can somebody hleps me pls?
have you checked the filerights?
maybe have to chmod it
just a guess, cuz this happens sometimes
hey there!
I tried to change my bootanimation on 2.3.4 with the latest speedmod kernel ( kernel k15h t23), but instead of a new animation i got an bootloop showing the android logo.
i have copied my bootanimation.zip to system/media but the boot process stops as i saw an android logo. after reflashing i tried to copie the bootanimation to data/local (i read something about that place in different forums) but it crashes aswell at the android logo.
i put the bootanimation in the attachments and hope someone could help me!
thanks!
Did you try it with a supported Rom?
extract and push this file in your /system/lib folder
sometimes bootanimation binary are fu**ed up by rom cookers
he is using the stock rom
you can try to push the animation in /data/local/
EDIT: Try this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1078743&highlight=bootanimation

To be sure i tried to copy the bootanimation that you've given me to data/local and got the same result.
boot process stops a an "android" logo apperars.
- this is not the android logo like that one in the postet thread but the default one.
now i going to try system/lib (after reflashing everything)
regards
EDIT:
I cant put anything into the /system/lib folder - it says there is not enough space.
try to remove some bloatware or ringtone that you don't use and try again.
The system is near factory default.
Only Speedmod with root and root explorer are installed...
System has 120 K free.
I dont know what is deletable.
But i could see bootsamsung.qmg in system/media
any ideas to get an custom bootanimation work?
thanks!
I had the same problem. Probably speedmod doesn't fit perfectly with custom bootanimations. Or maybe the rom, but if you have stock and i have sensation rom, i think the problem is kernel.
If you are interested in bootanimation i suggest you to use talondev; with that kernel i never had any problem with bootanim.
I have tried so many ways to change my boot animation and nothing worked. I pasted the boot animation in system/media and that didn't work. At the moment everything seemed OK but when I reboot my boot animation is renamed to bootanimationencrypted.zip. After searching for an answer I read that with HTC I need to paste the animation in system/customize/resources but that didn't work as well. When I reboot it's like I haven't done anything the default boot animation is still there. I have tried using ES file explorer and Root Browser for this, same thing. Any help will be much appreciated, thanks.
Hi, any tips how to change boot animation and copy oryginal boot animation?
Which "original boot animation"?
Also the animation is located in /system/media/bootanimation.zip and the sound is called bootaudio.mp3. just change them using Root Explorer or some other root file explorer.
