I just was wondering if the ERA Legendary RC 2.2 Rom will allow you to change the boot animation on it. and if so where can i find out where to place my custom one
*already looked in /data/local
and system/media
there was no bootanimation.zip there and even when i tried putting mine in both places (separately) neither worked.
can anyone help?

Check system/media for sanim.zip and rename yours to sanim.zip and delete the old one...

Followed this thread, says you have to add some lines to the "winusb.inf" file after running SDK Manager.

But still nothing but the same boot. I'm running Virtuous2.7 w/ KxKBFS#4 with most bloatware removed but still has Sense btw.
So my question is, when naming and pushing the files, is it bootanimation.zip and android_audio.mp3 + adb push to data/local directory?
Or is VZW_bootanimation.zip and VZW_Droid.mp3 + adb push to system/customize/resource/???
Thanks in advance.
It is VZW_bootanimation.zip and VZW_Droid.mp3 that is what I used when I changed mine.

Place your bootanimation.zip in system/media.
Do not follow the guide as it's outdated.
So you boot bootanimation.zip in /system/media along with VZW_Droid.mp3 ? to get a custom boot animation along with audio?
If you are running a virtuous rom our any rom off the leak for the incredible, the boot animation was moved for whatever reason to system/customize/resource..

That was true in the past, but not with later versions of Virtuous. The location is system/media/bootanimation.zip and system/media/android_audio.mp3

Just did this, thank you. Now I have audio on my bootup. It's so dope! Haha!
So I was screwing around trying to push a boot animation, deleted the bootanimation.zip in system/media and now all I have is the android boot ani.
Anyone know where I can find the bootanimation.zip from system/media, so I can at least flash boot animations again?
Thanks
It'll be in the install zip for whichever ROM you're currently using. Same place /system/media/.

I tried that and also tried one from a theme, no go. In the end I flashed the hc2.0 theme again and that fixed me right up.
Does anyone know of a better boot animation for the Blend Rom? Something more like the Caulkin ROMS boot animation.
Will it blend? Yes.

It's completely irrelevant. I am however relatively surprised that you have never heard of the blender guy... enjoy:http://www.youtube.com/user/Blendtec

To actually answer your question, yes, you can. I know there is another play where you can put it, but the bootanimation.zip is commonly put in system>media. You'll need to delete the other bootanimation.zip before you do it, but if you put the attached .zip in that folder, it should work just fine. Note, this unlike most things I help with on here, I have not tested myself. I have previous knowledge and know that this works on htc phone. This one is however quite a bit different. The attached file is the bootanimation.zip that has been extracted from Calk's 2.8.1.
I previously had the HTC EVO and that was the method used on that phone if I recall correctly. I searched for the system/media folder and came up with nothing! I also looked in nearly every folder to find a sub folder that might work, but found nothing. Any clues?
I cant be the only guy out here that wants to change the boot animation. Someone has to know how.
Joecr250r
Depending on your kernel (I think its the kernel that decides, may be the ROM, any who), the .zip folder must be named "sanim.zip".
I'm currently running Blend v2.6.1 with Rogue kernel 1.4.0 "Gunslinger" and have changed my boot animation. The .zip must me named "sanim.zip" or it uses a default that's in one of the other /system files.
Still not sure as to where to put the .zip folder. Should I load it thru the Rogue Bootloader?
Found where it needed to go using ES file explorer. The boot animation is under system/media and the sound is system/etc PowerOn.wav for anyone else who wanted to know.
Thanks again for all the help.

Hey guys, I flashed the new Malice Rom (3/20/12), and I was wondering how I can switch the zombie boot animation. I know where to put the zip file, (/system/media) Somehow I cannot seem to get other ones to work. I made sure the replacement files mirror the original. Do I need to flash the entire file as opposed to just replacing the files using root explorer? Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I renamed it to bootanimation.zip, etc.
Copy and then Change permision file in root explorer rw-r-r

Ok, maybe it cause your custom boot animation not valid..

Well, I tried a couple other ones, and no dice. Could it be that the rom itself only allows that one(or none)?
Download rom toolbox and get the boot animations from there. By far the easiest way.

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:
