I changed all the colors in the 3D bootanimation that came out. When I run it. It only stays black I changes sizes of the images and everything. Also replaced the files in the stock bootanimation file. Also changed every image name but still nothing.
Can someone that knows how to make boot animations look at it and let me now what I did wrong ? I will thank you.....

It sounds like you just didnt zip it up correctly. The Bootanimation file has to be zipped with the "STORE" option.... as in NO compression.
try zipping it with the "store" option and copy/flash it over.
i will try that but i even just copied the images into the stock boot animation and didn't work also tried just couple images over the stock once and the when i ran it the stock once worked just not mine not sure if the images have to be in some kinda formate
Zipped it using STORE and the first folder works now thanks getting close just have to see whats going on in folder 2 thank for your help
i have it working for you. flashable zip.
looks cool even without 3d
thanks man you rock what did i do wrong

I have read the posts on here but I still cannot seem to get mine to work. This is a multi-part question.
I have tried to mimic the file names, sizes of the images, made sure they were in PNG format, and used the text file and directory structure of a few different working boot animations. When I try and use it with my ROM, all it does is show a black screen where the boot animation should be.
I think I have an idea of what is wrong, does a boot nimation have to be signed before it is usable (like most other zip files do) or can you just make the folder and text file, zip it using 7-Zip and you are good to go?
I have no idea what I am doing wrong. That is about the only thing I can think of. I have tried different sized images, renaming my files different, and I still get the same results.
Any help greatly appreciated greatly!
(Before anyone says anything, I did a search and tried finding my answers and I am still stumped.)

can't help you with the issue itself, but you should drop a quick post linking to this thread in the Custom Boot Animations and Splash Screens sticky (in themes & apps), and ask someone there to take a look. Pseudoremora's a genius with this stuff.
Send me what you have (pm or post here doesnt matter) and I can take a look at it.
I edited a couple of bootanimations to my liking and I have a decent handle on how they work.
Thank you lovethyevo, I will attach it to this thread. Thank you very much and if you can help me, I will be most grateful!
Is this for sense based or cm? I can probably get it to work for sense based but cm places the files in a different area if I remember correctly.

Yes, this is a Sense based ROM, I do not use CM and think I read the same (that CM stores it in a different place).

Thank you, I will see what LovethyEVO comes up with and then ask there if he cannot get it. I wasn't sure if it was better to post here or there.
Update: Got about 98% of the animation to play. For some reason it's not playing the images that spell out the rom name.
Working on it though just letting you know.
100% working on my evo. All images play correctly. Enjoy.
would you guys be able to post the animation. I love looking at this kind of stuff.
I think the most important thing is to make sure that you have no compression for your zip file. I would set my pngs to 480x480 at 24 bit-depth and reuse the desc.txt files from other working boot animations.
nice one, lovethyevo - hey, have you guys had luck with something other than after effects to make the png's?

Pngs for the evo can be 480x800 but at that size it would look better in 32 bit.

I use and used gimp to fix the pngs on this animation. Very nice program but like everything else it takes a while to learn the basic stuff.
How do I go about changing my boot animation for rooted OTA update. I've tried changing the boot animation.zip in /data/local.
If anyone could boint me in the right direction would be most appreciated.
have you tried pasting the bootanimation zip inside system/media.
P.s. you will see a folder named audio, DONT touch it
Tried the one in media with no success. :/
Try /data/animations ?

What's the exact name of the Rom your using might help find the right spot for it. Who built it (virus,myn,mik,ect....) every bit of info helps.

From his first post it is HTC's 4.22.651.? OTA update and it seems to have been moved entirely as I tried while I was playing around with it to change the boot animation and it would not work for me either

glad you got it to work
so i gave this a shot, i used the 720 vertical bootanimation. it lets the phone boot but the whole rom has gone black. i cant see anything but the phone still works.
here is a link to the download thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1845579
I had the exact same thing happen. Used adb to delete the file and everything works again. I got mine from a link from Android Police, and in the desc.txt, it says it's 720x720.. might have something to do with it, but I'm not sure. I'll try changing the numbers around and report back.
*Update
Tried changing the resolution to 720 x 1280 and the same thing happens. Putting it in /data/loca/ or /system/media gives the same result.
It's the same one as cyanogen9?? Or did they make a new one for 10?

A new one was just released for CM10. A nice change I think.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogp9f4_yEoU&feature=player_embedded
I see that the bootanimation from the AT&T nightly is still the CM9 version.
The file from the experimental for the International GS3 has the right graphics.
That works nicely for me
Course I'm on the International GS3 but only CM9.
It's because whoever created the bootanimation.zip file used an actual compressed .zip file instead of just using the extension as a wrapper.
Below is a fixed version that actually has the correct black for the background so that it doesn't look like a hackjob on AMOLED screens.

Yeah, you can do this. I use the Google Edition HTC One boot animation. Just Google it and you can find the file. Simply rename it bootanimation.zip and place it in /system/media. Make sure you replace the bootanimation.zip currently in there to something else such as bootanimation.bak. You might have to change permissions to rw-r-r as well.
my /system/media doesn't have an existing bootanimation.zip. Nevertheless I placed that file in that location, set permissions and the stock Verizon animation still showed. Now I'm stumped. Pulled the file from HERE, trying both a manual addition as well as flashing the flashable zip provided.

Are you running a Sense rom? If so, the boot animations are located in System-Customize-Resource. There are two that you need to replace, one for booting up, vzw_bootup.zip, and one for shutting down, hTC_downamination.zip.

Hmm... I did this and for some reason the boot animation wasn't replaced but the down animation works fine. Side note, does the boot sound in that folder play for anyone else?
HTC One s-off
On the stock HTC ROM, to change the boot animation, you have to change two files in 'system/customize/resource/' : "htc_bootup_one.zip" and "vzw_bootup.zip" (capitalization matters). They both have to be replaced with fully functional boot animations. When I changed mine, it wouldn't work if I just changed one or the other, I had to change both.
On the stock HTC ROM, to change your down animation, you have to replace "hTC_downanimation.zip" (capitalization matters) in '/system/customize/resource/' with a functioning down animation.
On custom ROMS, you have to look to find where it's at. Sometimes it's in 'system/media' named "bootanimation.zip", sometimes it's not. Remember, it has to be a functioning replacement, otherwise it will show the stock ANDROID boot animation.

Actually, you don't have to replace the htc_bootup_one.zip. You can rename it to .bak and replace or do the same to the vzw_bootup.zip and it will work. I actually removed my htc_bootup_one.zip and replaced the vzw one and everything works fine. Probably helps that the boot up animation I use was made for the One variants that don't have anything to do with Verizon

That's very odd. Now that I try it without the "htc_bootup_one.zip", it works, but it didn't when I originally replaced it. Very, very odd.
I grabbed a flashable boot animation (including audio) from the HTC One section and was finally able to get the animation to work after messing with the .xml file. Tried to throw the audio in with it and couldn't get it to work...I'm on Bonestock and noticed there wasn't any audio with the regular boot animation...could it be the Rom? Volume is up btw.
To get a better idea of what I did I'll include the tread. I wasn't able to flash, so I had to manually replace/rename the files in my system/customize/resource folder and then change the name for the boot animation in the .xml file. I tried to follow the steps to get the audio file included as well, but it just reverted to a basic android boot animation when I attempted that.

If I recall correctly, there is an option in the XML file that tells it not to play audio when it's not the first time you set up the phone, meaning it only plays on initial setup. You need to change that setting to play every time. I don't want audio on my boot animations, so I leave it alone.

Add this code to the XML file.
Code:
audio="/system/customize/resource/MP3_file_name_here.mp3"
This is assuming the sound you want is located in the 'resource' folder. If not, give the correct path and filename. Hope this works for you.

I had tried that like it said in the OP, but for some reason when I added that in there it changed the boot animation completely and still with no audio. Ah well, it's probably more convenient with out it.

Try this... at 30fps with only 20 images and 2 cycles it would've lasted a whole 1.33 seconds... I slowed it to 10fps and loop till boot is complete.. Don't forget to set permissions to rw-r--r-- as well
Still no luck. I have my entire system rw in es file Explorer. The zip over wrote the one I had in there. Still didn't work. Just getting the generic android name glimmering thing.

One last question, if you don't mind. I recreated the whole thing so that it'd be the resolution of the phone. The only thing I changed was the pixel dimensions in your txt file. Now, however, the boot up is just a blank screen. Any chance you may know what's wrong with the attached one? Is 1.83mb to big for a boot animation?
You zipped the whole folder... As in when I open the zip there is a folder called bootanimation... The part0 folder and the desc.txt should be at the root of the zip
