Acer Iconia A100 3.2 honeycomb bootanimation location

can someone please tell me where the bootanimation.zip folder is? I've looked in data/ but no local folder? Ive found one in system/bin? I've tried esrooted explorer and adb pull/push to data/loca and it saya no such file or directory? I cant seem to replace the one i found in system/bin. My tab is rooted and im no newb but thisone has me stumped. I might try adb for the system/bin but i thought I'd ask first. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Just place it in data/local and change the permissions.. There is no boot animation file there to replace.
No idea how to add sound to it, found a bootsound.wav file and replaced it but no go

The file you are looking for is android_audio.mp3 ... rename that... your boot sound will go.. or put in the file you want renamed as android_audio.mp3 and you will have your boot sound

im using es root explorer and data /local is blacked out? Copied there but see nothing? This is really making me want to get my old tab back. Anyone ideas??????? Anyone? Bueller?

That's the sound file i looked for that's the standard file you would change for the boot sound. The only sound file i found was bootaudio.wav, but that didn't work. Do you know where to find that, where is it located?

What will you copy?
The common method is to use a root explorer(ES or any root explorer)
Give root access to the app.
Copy and head to system/app/, then paste.
Change permissions to rw-r--r--.
Then reboot.

Hello, just like what @erljayp said.
If you're confused about changing permissions, i recommend using root explorer, go to ROOT and Then System and then App and paste the thing u want there.. once u press paste, root explorer will ask smthing about permissions, press yes.
Btw how did u get aircommand? Did u flash the Note 3 Apps MOD ROM? Or did u get it sepperately? If u succeed in getting aircommand please share.
Give me a thanks button if i helped!

es explorer
to do that you need to root your device and then use root explorer or es explorer..es explorer is free,just download it from playstore..open es explorer.then press the icon on the upper left,then press the root explorer,press the mount r/w..set the value to rw both path and system then you're ready to copy or paste any files in the system

DC-MARVEL Bootanimation.zip [720p ]

British graphic designer Christian Tailor created this awesome animation of stylized Marvel and DC Comics heroes and villains, and now you can use it as the boot animation on your Android device.
It was later turned into default start up animation by Brian Roberts
HTML:
https://plus.google.com/+BrianRoberts
and later into a flashable zip by Ronald Valdes
HTML:
https://plus.google.com/+RonaldValdes
.
Now all I did was I took Christian Tailor's bootanimation which was 1080p and converted it into 720p which will fit perfectly on S3 or any 720p devices.
Here is the link to download,

DROPBOX LINK
HTML:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/bm6xfg1doitjslv/dcmarvel720pbootanimation.zip
Install Instructions:
1. Your device need to be rooted. It won't work if your device is not rooted. How to root? Please check online. I hope samsung device users have custom rom with root and not stock rom with root. I have no idea how it works in other brand android devices, so proceed only if it is similar process as you find below.
2. This is not a flashable file, so you have to copy it into your system/media .
3. Use X-plore, make sure you have root access. To get root access, press configuration. Under Root access, select superuser + mount writable. I only know how to do this in xplore, i don't know how it works in other apps. So sorry. I will let you know how it works in other apps.
4. Now go to root/system/media and you will find bootanimation.zip . Copy it to your internal/external memory.
5. Delete the bootanimation.zip from system/media.
6. Now copy the dcmarvel720pbootanimation.zip to system/media and rename it to bootanimation.zip .
7. Now reboot your device.
8. Now Enjoy.
[By the way, I really don't know if I was allowed to post this or not. If I was not allowed, please comment here, and also I am sorry, I will remove it as soon as possible. If I am allowed then thank you. Please support the original people who did it.]

Hi. Good job bro. But, Can you tell how to install this? I tried via recovery and it failed... Tried putting in system/media and rebooted but the previous boot animation is still showing. I renamed the old bootanimation.zip first before trying.
Thanks

In system/media, remove the previous boot animation. Either delete it or just copy it to your internal memory, but you will have to delete it in your system/media. Now save the dc-marvel bootanimation zip to system/media and rename it to bootanimation.zip
Now try rebooting. Hope it worked.

Update : was using Cm11 theme before and this seemed to be the cause.restored the theme to default and placed the boot animation to system/media and it worked like a charm.
Thank you again

Very cool, but why must it call me a mother****er when I install it?

Hmmm, when I replace the original bootanimation.zip with the Superhero one and restart, I only get flashing "android" text in the middle of the screen, it's animated so something is happening... but no heroes. Curious. Any ideas?
Thanks for bringing this to the forums btw and resizing it
EDIT: Found out why, I needed to change the permissions to rw-r-r

It did yes, I used ES file explorer (make it have root permissions) and if you go to more > properties permissions > change and set it to rw-r-r, the bootanimation then works

Haha, it's awesome! The size is a bit big, but that's not a problem. Thanks! :victory:

are you rooted? also are you using a custom rom?
it only works if you use both root and a custom rom,
as said in the instructions, make sure you have given superuser mount writable permissiom. Either delete the bootanimation.zip from you system/media or copy the bootanimation.zip to your internal memory or external memory if available.
now copy paste the dcmarvelbootanimation.zip to system/media and rename it to bootanimation [make sure it is still in zip format which means it is .zip]
now try rebooting.

I renamed the zip to bootanimation.zip and copied it to root/system/media.
but I am only getting an android logo as the boot animation, nothing like the stuff shown here.
I am rooted and unofficial cm12.

Kindly explain to me with thanks.

su
insmod /system/lib/modules/wp_mod.ko
it can't find this file... Any solutions?

App not able to write
i followed the instruction here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53823856&postcount=42
and successfully got the result and can write on sd card or delete using es file explorer (or other file manager)
but still most of the other app cant write to sd card like titanium backup or nandroid backup
i also tired the /system/etc/permission/platform.xml and tried edditing it but it causes my phone to go in boot loop

Unfortunately, it doesn't solve the problem. Now I haven't this phone, I've bought G4 last month. Thanks for all replies and no hating me for my little knowledge in this thread.
BTW 816 is very nice phone, it was two years with me.
