Here is my own bootanimation. >Salsa Bootanimation
Its pre named so all u gotta do is download and copy direct into the

Please dont leave bad feedback on this..took me 2 days to figure this out lmao....and it is my first ever!

theres loads available but i use BAC Lite from the market. use the app to get the bootanimation.zip on your sd card, once you have it, change the name to htc_bootanimation.zip using root explorer, copy the zip and paste into >system/customize/resource/
reboot the phone and voila! new animation and no sound!
~few queries~
1.for 1st bootup it takes more time than it used earlier.is it normal?
2.can your bootanimation be used along with custom sound? when i used custom sound with some other bootanim last nyt,it gave me FCs on major apps so all i had to do was restore a nandroid bckup.
3.does the sound size or boot anim size matter?

tried using bootanimation.1st startup was delayed but phone worked properly.
2 nd boot was delayed just like the 1st boot.moreover i got plenty of FCs when phone started.all major autostartup processes gave FCs while others like Andross (screenshooter) failed to launch and eventually gave FCs.the app data was reset by which i mean i lost downloaded data for games,saved passwords and login id s on apps like xda and dolphin browser.the most frequent FC was for betterkeyboard app.
finally i had to restore from nandroid backup.all in all m pissed off with FCs and hence no more bootanims for me :-D
BUT-
the boot animation is cool.needs few edits like
1.change the font type to plain blocks(capital letters).the C and S of salsa look larger in size than 'alsa' of salsa.
2.the text shud be centre aligned so that HTC SALSA occupies 90% of the screen width..
~the wave that flashes before displaying logo is awesome~

Hi
I'm really sorry that I have ask so many questions lately, but I rooted 2 days ago and dont understand few things. I just ipdated from RCMix S v1.72 to RCMix S v1.8 and everything is ok, so I have one more question. How to cahnge Boot animation, I really dont like that when I turn my device on it shows joker with card s-off and then this firing up animation, how can I replace those two with something more interesting and cooler?
Thanks
To change the joker thing, just read the FAQs at the bottom of AlphaRev's site.
The boot animation afterwards is rom specific, ask your rom developer where these animation files are stored. Not easy to change.
I do not know how to changee this joker thing. For the other (following) bootanimation:
Download a fitting bootanimation-file (bootanimation.zip) for your os. Copy this zip-file to /system/media and replace the current bootanimation.zip with root explorer or any explorer which has root rights (like super manager; just activate root option in its settings). Now reboot and you should see the new bootanimation. But make a nandroid backup first, just in case.

I am trying to change my boot animation on cm7 and have tried to change it to a pc36img file and it says parsing file. I also have tried to move it into the systems media folder using rootexplorer but I get a message stating its a read only file. I tried changing the permissions and still nothing. Any help would be appreciated. Im sure Im missing something here.
On root explorer, press on the top right where it says "mount" before you paste, it'll let you paste it.
Then just set permissions.

You have to make sure that you moved the file to the correct place, that the permissions match the original's, and that the boot animation was built properly. Try another and see if you get the same result. If you do, you're doing something wrong. If it works, there's something wrong with the boot animation you're trying to use.
You said it was a PC36IMG, so I'm thinking that it's the file. Usually boot animations are either moved manually or made into a flashable zip - splashscreens come as PC36IMGs. If you can attach the file, I'll take a look at it for you.
Sent from my Evo + MIUI using Tapatalk!
If you're manually placing it in the /system/media/ folder, which is what I recommend doing, then the file needs to be named bootanimation.zip and contain ONLY the png files and the required txt info file.
As plainjane said, splash screens are usually what are flashed via PC36IMG.zip files.
disk space?
it keeps tellin me i dont have enough disk space to copy and paste? i deleted the old boot anime, so how could i possibly not have enough??

I had memory problems as well my first time applying a boot animation. I suggest using root explorer to delete some system wallpapers that you don't use. Should free up enough space for your big bootanimation

FYI, NEVER delete anything from your system folders that is currently working until you have a replacement that you know for a fact works. I usually rename the file with (backup) appended to the file name. That way I can go back if the file I am replacing it with is junk.
It dosent matter if its just a boot animation... I cut my phone back on before i got it workin

Uhh.....what?
1. Place the bootanimation.zip file below into /system/media/
2. DO NOT change the name at all.
3. Move preexisting bootanimation file somewhere into your SD card so that you don't lose it.
4. Then reboot your phone.
I know for a fact that the file is a good file because I've used it before. If your phone still screws up then you're most likely not putting it in the right location. The zip file size is just under 5MB. So make sure you have at least that much space free in your phone's internal storage.
I included thumbnail previews of the bootanimation. (I don't remember who created this bootanimation but it was not I.)
Edit: I think it was Dysgenic, or something like that, that created this bootanimation.
What i was saying is it doesent matter if you delete all boot animations and cut your phone on. It just defaults to a very simple android one... And that i had got it workin.

Oh ok. Glad to hear it.
hi everyone im new to the forum and wanted to say my god i love this forum ,all you guys help each other and im glad to be part of this forum .=) i have the htc evo 4g and its rooted .i just flashed miui rom and love it ,however,i wanted to know how i can load the call of duty bootanimation to this rom if possible .and i have 3 roms backed up that are all 3 the same how can i delete 2 of them thanks
1. Download the animation, re-name it to bootanimation
2. Place it on the root of your sd card, using a root file explorer [es file explorer, root explorer, ect] move it to /system/media and overwrite the existing one
3. Use a file manager to explore your sd card. You'll see a folder called clockwork if on cwm recovery, or nandroid if on amon ra. Open then folder and you'll see all your backups. Simply delete the ones you don't want
i have the miui rom .i have done this before and still wont work .can i delete everything i see with bootanimation? and just download a link with bootanimation and put it on my sd card ? and i figured out how to delete the back ups i did not want anymore thanks a bunch .i am using nandroid back up

Check for the /data/local folder for the bootanimation.zip [ I haven't used MIUI, but its either in /system/media or /data/local]
i went to date /local/using root explorer and get 3 folders one folder says parent folder second folder says download third folder says tmp now i go to systems and i see a folder called bootanimation.zip is that the folder im doing it as i type to you
You're in /system/media? What is the path exactly?
root eplorere its mounted as r/o i go to system and i see bootanimation .zip and i scroll down to media and if i open media i see audio bootanimation than bootanimation.zip than cod-bootanimation-aosp which is the bootanimation i want on my evo than gadget than lockscreen and so on

You need to delete the original bootanimation.zip, then rename cod-bootanimation-aosp to bootanimation [should still be .zip], reboot, and you should be good.
the cod bootanimation-aosp does not say zip next to it .does that mean its not zipped ? how do i know the bootanimation.zip is the original one ?
looking at the bootanimation folders i have about 3 folders with the name bootanimation if i long press the folder it saids i can zip the folder

Also make sure you're mounted as r/w. Long press it and hit rename, it should still be .zip, just doesn't show on the preview. Then do what I said previously.
i just switched it to r/w and i can only find the bootanimation file under s/d card and when i open the folder this is what it shows five files 1 file is parent folder 2 folder DS-STORE THIRD FILE ANDROID FOURTH FILE BOOTANIMATION.ZIP FIFTH FILE DESC.TXT WHEN I CLICK ON FOURTH FILE WHICH IS BOOTANIMATION.ZIP I GET THIS PARENT FOLDER TWO DS-STORE FOLDERS THAT HAVE A LITTLE YELLOW STAR ON THEM .NEXT FOLDER META-NF AND SYSTEM HOW CAN I START THE PROCESS FROM SCRATCH
I was following some guy called zeromax on youtube .i did what he said to do and still not worked
Well you saw all those folders because you opened the bootanimation.zip zip, which you don't need to.
1. from the sd card, copy the renamed cod bootanimation, that has been renamed to bootanimation.zip
2. go to /system/media, delete the bootanimation.zip in there
3. paste your bootanimation.zip in its place, done.

My post 2 above is the 'restart' from the beginning.
On MIUI you apply boot animations through the Theme Manager. You can either pm me a link to the animation and I'll make you a mtz to apply through theme manager, or you can follow the normal directions. If you do it the same way you would do it on any other rom, you have to go into theme manager afterwards and reapply the default animation. You would do so by going to customize at the bottom of the main screen, then choose boot animation and select the default one. You may need to choose another before you're given the option to apply the default. If you don't have one then youcan download one from the theme manager.
MIUI is different from other roms in many ways, but theming is much easier as well. If you ever need help getting certain things working on MIUI, feel free to pm me. I've been running it for over six months and know it better than I know stock Android or Sense.
Edit: You can also place the boot animation in /data/system/theme/boots, name it bootanimation.zip, set permissions to rw-r--r--, and reboot. Applying through theme manager is easiest if you're not familiar with modifying system files. As I already mentioned, I'd be happy to make an mtz for you.

You can add the boot sound through the Theme Manager. If you have the mp3, open theme manager. Select customize at the bottom, select boot sound, then choose the music app to find the sound.
I replied to your pm, do you still need me to make the theme? It's best to have the theme on hand. It'll take less than 15 minutes for me to make it, so if you want it just respond to my pm. I get notification that way, I might forget to check the thread.

so i went to replace the boot animation on the stock gb rom (before the late 2011 update) and it just shows up with the stock android boot. i went to system/customize/resources and pushed the animation there via root explorer. I then renamed it to bootanimation.zip which is the name of the stock boot animation. then i deleted the original stock boot from the system. after that i rebooted to check it out and it showed up with the android one. any ideas?
When using a stock rom based off of vow, you need to go to system/customize/resource and not replace bootanimation.zip, but instead VZW_bootanimation.zip.

You replaced and renamed it VZW_bootanimation.zip and still nothing? That is odd because that is where VZW made the change to their stock ROM.
The key is to make sure it is named VZW_bootanimation.zip.

i got it working now using your method thanks. It didnt work at first but after reinstalling the rom and ONLY replacing the VZW one it worked.
EDIT: i was 100% sure i renamed it exactly right i copied and pasted the name of the file to the new boot and didnt work but like i said after a fresh reinstall i got it working.
awesome. +10
a side note....
congrats on a success!!! i have an evo 4g on sprint running shooter v5.3 and have been toying around with some ideas that worked out for me. My car charger took my internal connector out so i cant plug into a computer to adb blah blah blah....I use root explorer...
i opened up root explorer and on the phones files i went to;
data...
drm... (change ".zip" to ".bak" on original files to protect after extraction.)
The hTC_downanimation.zip that was the stock downanimation eventually became "hTC_downanimation.bak"
but before that i extracted the zip to play with the desc. and to have a copy of a working model. Then i have the boot animation app from the market, i dunno pick one, got an animation that had png files because thats what the original had... it wound up "android scribble". I wanted to mix it with the existing old school tv turning off animation so folder was pasted in with the original of the droid scribble so i had ;
desc
andriod
part01
in the desc it had :
800x480 60
p10 android
so i opened up the desc. in text editor( by long press-> text editor) changed it to read;
800x480 60
p10 android00
p00 android01
and saved it... so i had my fresh new desc. file and 2 part animation and i zipped it up renamed it "hTC_downanimation.zip" copy and pasted to the data/drm closed the app and rebooted... ahhh bang head .... nuthin no nothin stupid evo waste of life and time and i FORGOT to double check the permissions!!!!!!! so i am sitting through a reboot... nst... no rules fire grrrrrr get me back in root explorer stupid permission ... perm was stupid "rwe-r-e"... bang head !!!! Set permissions at rw-r-r !!!.... no fkn "e" close app reboot normal... success !!!! custom activity to impress my friends and family lmao.....It plays out the droid gets scribbled in a blue light blows out behind and then the tv shuts off... ahhh it flows ok just kool to be able to mix it up a bit with out plugging in.
Hello all,
I was looking for the original n1 bootanimation that had been rotated to vertical and resized for our beloved N7 but the only post I found had a bad download link....so I did it myself.
I downloaded the stock N1 rom and extracted the bootanimation.zip. I've resized every image to the full resolution 800 x 1280 and rotated it so it fits our screen correctly.
It is this animation but rotated 90 degrees clockwise (portrait to fill the screen) http://youtu.be/lAFSEsEZnnE
If your ROM supports it, just rename the attached to bootanimation.zip and place it in the /data/local folder otherwise you may have to replace the existing bootanimation.zip which I believe you will find in /system/media.
You will need a root explorer to access these folders (you can always use aroma file manager from within recovery mode) and it may be required that you set appropriate permissions but again this can be done via recovery if required.
Enjoy a bit of pseudo retroness on our nice new device
actually its available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1926227
