Ideally I really want to install the Droid Bionic boot animation but I can't even get rid of the HTC boot screen. Does anyone know how??
What rom are you on? Okay, well anyway, how I did it off the top of my head was to place the bootanimation.zip file from the bionic in system/customize/resource and back up the old file with the same name. I renamed it bootanimation.zap to make in inactive then I pasted the bionic one in that folder. You still have the htc splash screen maybe, but you should at least have the bionic boot screen. Feel free to hit the thanks if it works.

If you're on stock, then it needs to be named Vzw_bootanimation.zip

I have S-OFF and am rooted. I'm running the 1.6Ghz kernel, and the Gingersense ROM. I tried the first method listed here; renaming the old to bootanimation.zap and then copying the Bionic one to the same folder using ES File Explorer and it did not work.
Any other ideas?

Boot/Down Animations by gdi2290
If your apps wont let you write in a read-only you may have to re-Superuser your apps.
EDIT: I'm adding a quick tut in the OP
THANK YOU! In the end, I had to also copy the bootanimation.zip and rename the VZW_bootanimation to .zap, then rename the Bionic one I copied to say VZW_bootanimation.zip.
Still have the cheesy HTC screen, and now I'm going to try and get the audio file you posted in there as well. Can you turn the audio off so that it only makes a boot sound when you want it to?

bootanimation
how come it tells me that I can't rename or move bootanimation in system directory...I don't know how people are changing it. I'm rooted.
Press the button on the top right side of the screen that says rw.....that's if you're using root explorer

I used ES file explorer and in settings choose root explorer and to mount file system.

Try putting it in the system/media folder.
If the data/local folder doesn't exist, create a folder called local and put it in there. That should work.
If you are running on windows, try flashing with our android pc suite>>
You can also backup and reflash your current bootanim easily.
@Six6Sicks: Nice bootanimation

What file explorer are you using?
You need one with root access.
nvm this post...
i got it tnx to che123
i got iti got iti got iti got iti got iti got it
if this works, i dont know what im going to do. i might yell. might scream. i dunno.
So much easier just doing
Adb push (locationofzip)/bootanimation.zip data/local
Its nice . i always wondered if moving jpegs could work as a bootanimation, but i was going to feel stupid to ask lol. This just opened a completely new world of bootanimations now.
Use ES file explorer, go to setting> root options> root explorer. Copy .zip to /data/local
I'm trying to move the boot animation from sdcard to the system. But for some reason I get a message, something to this effect, "this function not allowed by system". I'm doing this through file managers. Don't have adb set up at work (at home either ).
Is there something else I can try. Or a reliable file manager. The one suggested in this thread is not coming up in a search through the market.
When are you going to release full screen animations?
Will they be landscape?
Which ones are you going to make full screen?
Can you make this one full?
So some users asked for my custom boot animations, and then
I had the idea to start a topic where the users show their
created bootanimations!
Bootanimations should work at the CM Nightly Builds too!
Now time to start with my first try!

Yeah right, but today a bit tired, had night shift still friday
are we just supposed to copy the file to /data/local? I did that and I just got a blank screen for the boot animation
To data/local it needs some editing and symlink

Look at the modded framework thread and download "Color Stat"
open with winrar at look at the update script,there is the bootanimation
symlinked to data/local.

Creat right folders,Updat Script,zip the files and sign again.
Difficult to explain for me I´m from germany.
Maybe there are other methods to do this!

once you download the file, extract the bootanimation.zip file to the root of the sd card and then using either rootexplorer or terminal copy to /system/media

PS: Extract attached files with winrar.
I tried it. First downanimation didn't work.
But I changed permissions on it and then everything was fine.
Permissions must be set for bootanimation.zip and downanimation.zip like this :
Owner : Read-Write
Group : Read
Others : Read
Use Root Explorer to change permissions.
Thanks for Black HTC Splashscreen. I love it.
easy replace for Virgin US
Get your favorite bootanimation.zip... Rename it to Sprint_bootanimation.zip... Backup current /system/customize/resource/Sprint_bootanimation.zip [rename it to Sprint_bootanimation_orig.zip or something]... Drop your new boot animation into aforementioned directory [you may need es explorer w root or root explorer to mount rw]... And you're set.
Files to edit:
Sprint_bootanimation.zip ... for boot up
Sprint_downanimation.zip [need to fix permissions] ... for shut down
(Couldn't get the audio files to work right)
No need to flash the P...zip through hboot; sounded risky to me anyway.
I added a marvel boot [but it's way too large to keep] check it out at : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18404109&postcount=1

works great on my htc wildfire s s off virgin mobile....i deleted and backup the boot and down animation from virgin mobile then renamed the new one sprint
I'm currently running cm7 and i really like the boot animation of it.
Can I just flash the downanimation and the PG76IMG.zip for changing the htc screens to black?
Just want to be sure

The PG76IMG.zip takes care of the boot splash.
Could someone probably provide the original boot animation in black?
The other two worked - thanks especially for the boot screen in black. Never seen that before !

For those of you who wish to change the audio - I was able to make a couple of custom mp3's called:
VMU_Power_Down_48_24.mp3
VMU_Power_Up_48_24.mp3
I placed them in the resource directory with the custom:
Sprint_bootanimation.zip
Sprint_bootanimation.zip
...and then changed the permissions -rebooted and had instant relief from the horrid "Virgin Mobile" jingle with the stock boot animation and sounds.
This will only work with Virgin phones, obviously.
I've made a boot animation and LWP based on a boot animation I used to roll on my xoom by jase33 on XDA. The original can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1114948
the boot animation can be downloaded here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7652847/GreenNexusbootanimation.zip md5:BB3E2E4BA5A03AC159C876F12CA5E662

Hmm...
What rom are you running (I'm assuming you're installing this on a nexus 7)?. I'm not sure if it would make a difference (but who knows). I have this bootanimation on my N7 with AOKP 4.2.2, My Xyboard with stock rooted ICS 4.04, and my Razr Maxx HD on stock rooted JB 4.1.1.
I'll do some other testing. I have a few friends with N7's.

Xenon HD, I'll try it again later with a new download. Any chance you'll make a blue version?
Isn't working for me, even though I think it is user error.
Using root explorer I changed the permissions to rw-rw-r. I didn't see a folder named local inside my data folder.
I'm sure I didn't put it in the right place. Also, do we need to install the apk, or just copy/paste/rename/permissions of the zip?

Are you looking in the /data folder in the root of your device?
It's different than /sdcard/data.
So if your rooted, you can use rootexplorer to navigate to the topmost folder using the "parent folder" option at the top of every file/folder directory list until you cant navigate upwards any more. That /data should have a /local folder in it.
The apk is just a download and install process. No copying/pasting/permission changing necessary.
Yeah I tried the apk and all it did was make my auto-brightness go crazy. Dim->bright->dim every few seconds. Had to uninstall with titanium backup and everything is normal again.
