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...

Hello. I have a GSM Telstra Next G Desire.
My phone is rooted with official Telstra FroYo and S-OFF.
I have been able to change the splash screen but not my boot animation. I have tried many things; Boot animation changer app, Dropping the bootanimation.zip into data/local and system/media and used Android Flasher 1.5 to try and change the boot animation. None of these things have worked and i keep seeing the telstra Next G boot animation. I am thinking that maybe the boot animation is stored in another place? but i am new to this and not sure if that is possible.
If you know anything about this, please post
Any information is appreciated
Thanks Heaps.
On some roms it is located in the resource folder. Doesn't remember where it is, but lurk in the /system folder.

Use root tools to change your bootanimation. Drop the one you want in mem card root thalen go to root tools extra apps ( if I recall correctly) and select swap bootanimation from sd

Different roms place this file in different locations.
You could use some explorer with root capabilities and search for the term "bootanimation.zip".
Alternatively you could search for it via adb using "adb shell find / -name bootanimation.zip"
I've got it in /system/customize/resources

Still dont know.
I have used the search function on root explorer to find all the bootanimation.zip files on my phone and have replaced them with my custom one. Although the old boot animation is still playing at startup! Is it possible that it could be named something else?
I'm looking to get rid of the "DROIIIIIIIIDDD" sound on the boot animation. It's very loud in the morning when I turn my phone on. My incredible is rooted and I'm using the regular sense that came with the phone. No custom rom. Is it possible?
Thanks!
It is possible with root explorer if you have it..... what you do is open root explorer mount RW..... then you want to go into system/customize/res find the bootanimation click on it and inside you will see an mp3 file delete that and that's it.....
If I helped hit that thanks button

Instead of deleting it's best to rename this file.
Custom Rom
Many rock solid custom roms, such as Virtuous and Magnolia (my favorite) have already done the service of removing that horrid noise.
Otherwise, I second the advice about renaming instead of deleting.
Thanks everyone! I'll give it a shot!
Hey Guys. Here is the boot animation extracted from the Destroyed ROM which, to the best of my knowledge, was only available for the EVO. I I thought it looked pretty cool so I had my friend extract it for me and I thought I'd share it with you guys. I hope you like it!
Installing:
I'm not sure how other people like to install their boot animations, however if you don't know how here is how I do it:
*Must have super user permissions
1.Download and Open Terminal Emulator from the android market
2.Download bootanimation.zip from this thread and put it on your sd card
3.Enter this code into Terminal Emulator:
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
cp /locationOfFile/bootanimation.zip /system/media
where the /locationOfFile/bootanimation.zip would just be the directory where you have the zip file. if you just put it on the root of your sd card it would be /sdcard/bootanimation.zip and if you downloaded it using your phone it would probably be under /sdcard/download/bootanimation.zip
restart your phone and it should work. Hope this helps!
Edit:
*Be sure to backup your old bootanimation.zip if you think you may ever want to go back to it!
How do you go about reversing this to the previous boot animation? I'm running Virtuous 1.0.1 that has the HTC boot animation, and I don't see any files sitting under /system/media.
Thanks.

Hmmmm do you mean that you changed it to this one and you now are wanting to change it back to the old one? you would have to have backed up the old one probably... I have never gone back to the old boot animation I just keep finding new ones that I enjoy and switching it. I'm currently using the Honeycomb boot animation
Edit:
Found this thread with the stock G2 boot animation:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838258
I keep a folder on /sdcard for boot animations, since I change them so often, and use Gscript to swap them around.
Aside from that, this ani is great. Thanks for sharing it.

Wow, thanks for this awesome boot animation. This is so cool, I wish I could see it more often.
Makes me wants to reflash one of the old CM nightlies which rebooted all the time.

Do you know how to change the first picture when it starts up? So it isn't the white screen that says HTC but maybe something else?

Hey guys, I'm running CM10(stable). i loved the bootani, like seriously, i pretty made out with my phone each time i saw it. Then i went ahead and flashed TRINITY kernel. That completely changed the bootani into something that i just completely hated. I followed a bunch of how to's and copy this file here and delete this one and change permissions. and NONE of that worked for. Instead, when i followed them and delete the old bootani and copy the new one, not only did it not work, I'm now stuck with no animation! I found a tutorial with a .zip that when flashed, allows you to flash any bootani you want and everyone that has used that has had success. but thats not working for me either! Can someone please give me a tutorial or link me to one that can at least give me a bootani, CM10 preferably, but right now, just having a bootani is my main priority.
Thanks to anyone and everyone that at least attempts to help and a BIG thanks to the ones that actually help! :laugh::good:
Once again, Thanks in advance everyone !:good:
Also, i would prefer to not have to do a fresh install of CM10 or have to go back to TW. I would like it to just fix my animation problem without really flashing anything ROMS or doing a reset or stuff like that.
Thanks!
Changing your boot animation is actually not too hard.
Look for a bootanimation that you like and download it. It should be named bootanimation.zip and contain a desc.txt file and a couple folders with images in them. If its named something else rename it to bootanimation.zip
Using root explorer navigate to system/media and rename the current bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip.bak as a backup. you could just delete it if u want.
Then copy the one u downloaded to system/media and change the permissions to rw-r-r
Reboot your phone and enjoy.
I'd avoid using utilities or flashing zips...its easier and safer to do it manually.
BTW here's a pretty cool one that I use:

Hey! Thanks so F**king MUCH! This method actually finally worked for me! The only thing that has me confused is that what you told me to do was exactly what i doing before, i just did it with the links you gave me. So im guessing it was just the files i had before. Anyways, thanks so much, and by the way, i might use the one you use just because my mom and sister both own iPhones
Thanks once again!:good:

So I may be completely blind but I've been looking around and can't seem to find a thread that works for changing bootanimation on the htc one. I've tried replacing bootanimation and also bootanimation and downanimation but I never have permissions to do so even with root access. I'm currently on EclipticOne 4.4. I appreciate any help or direction to the proper thread, thanks!

Not sure if this is what your looking for, but I use this Matrix themed one sometimes. You can just flash the zip in recovery. The one you download depends on how you bootanimation file is named, but the instructions explain that.

1. Find preferred boot animation.
2.Go to the root of your system files.
3.Look for folder labeled "System" go into that.
4.Find folder labeled "customize" go into that
5.Lastly look for "resource" Folder go into that
6.Get preferred boot animation Rename it to "vzw_bootup"

For the Verizon One the file name will actually be either hTC_bootup_one.zip or bootanimation.zip depending on the ROM (one of those two will be in that location). EclipticOne 4.4 uses the filename bootanimation.zip.
Edit: If the ROM you're using still has the stock Verizon boot animation running, vzw_bootup would be in there.

Try using Root Browser. You should be able to with that.
And just to be safe, just add .bak to the current boot animation.zip. That way you can simply revert back in case the one you choose doesn't work.
