Is there any way to modify the boot animations for S-ON devices? Is it possible to make a zip file like the SuperClean from ARHD we can execute with ClockworkMod?
Boot animation or splash.img?

Derp. I figured this out myself. I used ES File Explorer mount /system R/W and was able to copy the file into /system/media. That didn't work for some reason, but putting the file in /data/local did.

tried changing boot animation with adb, pushboot, flashable signed zips.
new files get pushed/flashed to right location system/customize/resources but I'm still stuck with 'Quietly Brilliant' boot.
I was able to change my splash screen, but not the boot animation
What am I missing, or doing wrong.
Suggestions, Please help

I usually leave the original where it is but rename it to bootanimation.old then paste the new one in there. Then if you want the original back you just delete the new one and rename the original back to bootanimation.zip.

I usually use Root Explorer (found on market) to copy/paste the bootanimation. Couple thing you may want to check:
Is the bootanimation.zip compressed? If so the extract the files and re-zip using "store" as the compression setting.
Is the animation meant to be flashed or put in manually? Check this by opening the zip... if you see two folders: System, META-INF then its meant to be flashed... check the path to be sure its going to the right location. If you see 1or2 folders named part0, part1 etc accompanied by a TXT file called desc.txt, that is meant to be put in manually
Try the animations listed in my thread and if that doesnt work then post the animation your trying to load on my thread and ill look at it and see what i can do
This should come in handy. Thx!
Title. Nothing will update, nothing will install. I'm afraid to reboot. What can I do?
Device -- Xperia Play R800X
Adb push or root explorer the folder to /system from the unzipped rom
what device?
Whole folder at once would be easier but doesn't matter just make sure permission are rwxr-xr-x
Easiest way to change perms is with a root file explorer, I use es explorer in settings enable root then mount system as write, long hold the file, goto properties then change permission. Or adb remount chmod not sure of the actual perm set you'll have to search.

Never figured out how to change perms. Should I download source and do it like that?
Okay, now where can I get the bin folder? Should I factory reset? Would that work?

Fixed it! Thanks sammael.
I managed to make a mess..
While flashing the new "Beats" mod today on my WFS, i thought id go one beter and change the boot animation. The result being, i have no boot animation at all now; I made a mistake in root manager when swapping & renaming files.
Can anyone help? Ideally on how to install any bootanimation at all...i tried to reverse what i did, to re do what what suggested, but all i have is black screen boot animation!! Thats no fun :-(
It's in /system/media and maybe also /data/local. It's named bootanimation.zip. ideally u can swap it out with any mpdi bootanimation.zip. change permissions to rw- r- r-. There are also cwm flashable zip files out there or u can make one in uot kitchen

Yea tried to swap,but one thing I didn't do was look at permissions. I "think", they are in either /system/media or /data/local, and I put it in wrong place! A flashable one would be real handy,but would it work after my tampering with root manager?
Its all good...Much thanks for taking the time..

It should work
Download beatsbootanimation.zip from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531999
1.Rename beatsbootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip (or beatsbootanimation to bootanimation if the extension is hidden)
2.Copy bootanimation.zip to sdcard
3.Open root explorer and browse to where you copied bootanimation.zip and select "Copy"
4.Browse to system/media -> Press Mount R/W(upper right corner) and select "Paste", if it ask to overwrite select "Yes"
5.Reboot your phone.
Hey guys,
I'm hoping I have placed this question in its correct location(If not please excuse my mistake) but on my one x I'm having troubles with my ES file explorer. It came with the viper 3.7.4 that I'm now on. I have been wanting to change the boot animation zip with this program but I cannot delete or rename anything. I have superuser set. If I long press the file and click on properties I have read and write enabled. I also changed the home directory to /. The only thing I was successful in was cut and paste(I took the original boot/down animations and placed them in the newly created folder on my SD.
I also deleted and re downloaded ES file explorer but that did nothing
Even in my file explorer app I cannot delete files. It's like this phone is not letting me change anything. Is their something I have missed. I can only imagine its something simple that was overlooked but for the life of me I cannot figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
In the app, press menu, then root explorer, then mount r/w

Manually place the desired boot ani where the old one is. Make sure you give desired boot ani the default file name.

Yep do it manually. Use root explorer or ES file explorer to move the new one to system/media. Rename the original bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.bak. Then rename the new one that you moved to bootanimation.zip and set the permissions to RW-R--R.
