Can anyone make, please, this (attached) boot animation flashable?
Everytime I install a new rom I have to install root explorer, copy the file, rename the old one, rename the new one, reboot, and uninstall root explorer.
With a flashable boot animation this will turn out a lot easier
Please!!!
Thanks

Im trying to install the custom boot animation found here called "call of android"
Im trying to install it on my desire z on virtuous unity 1.31.0 and its coming up with the following;
-- installing: /sdcard/virtous unity rom/CoD-Bootanimation-W-sound.zip
Finding update package...
opening update package...
installing update...
amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported.
amend scripting was deprecated by google in android 1.5.
it was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the clockworkmod 3.0 gingerbread based recovery.
please switch to edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.
installation aborted.
No idea's what this means as ive installed zip all the time and had no problems?
you need to rename the file to bootanimation.zip and using root explorer (or any similar file manager) u need to copy and replace it to:
/system/customize/resource
now reboot and enjoy

Only works sometimes when putting into system folder. Will work EVERYTIME if you put the bootanimation.zip file in data/local/ Also you are extracting the bootanimation.zip out of whatever file it is you were using to try to flash in recovery i hope?

Ive tried that too and it doesnt work either it comes up with the same problem? Ive tried to install the zip in cwm the way i downloaded it?
first locate the directory your bootanimation.zip is in then you can use root explorer and after renaming the custom one to bootanimation.zip cut and paste it to the location this worked for me as well as using an application called absolute system which you can download custom boot and fonts and it installs them in the right locations after you set those locations up in its setup (with virtuous unity the absolute system app worked every time just use the evo4g set up)
cant get this working either,change permissions have the custom animation in the right location and reboot ....... no change
What gives??????
*EDIT* Been using a bootanimation from UOT Kitchen which seems to be compressed, unpack the files then using WinRAR change the compression method to STORE repack as a zip copy to /system/customize change permission,reboot and hay presto new boot animation working.
Glad it worked

Some ROMs disable boot animations
Different ROMs store boot animations in different locations
Different phones have different screen sizes, the boot animation needs to be made for your exact screen size (wrong size may work, but not always).)
I was wondering whether or not it was possible to change the boot animation of MIUI with the animation of your choice. I know you can get MIUI boot animations from what I would assume "MIUI store". I wanted to put a boot animation that I have(Barbershop Android/Apple thing). I know you can do it on normal android by replacing it in /System/Media/ but that does not work in MIUI. I really don't like the boot animations from MIUI.
i'm showing thats where it goes is system/media named bootanimation, thats in 1.8.5.
try using root explorer to move the animation that you want to that location and check that the permissions are set to rw-r-r.
Make sure the boot animation is in the /system/media folder, and the name is bootanimation, so the total name will be bootanimation.zip; also make sure all the correct files are inside the zip.
For MIUI, you have to add it into your theme mtz or make an mtz with the boot animation and select it from theme manager. MIUI doesn't use the bootanimation in /system/media unless you select the "default" boot animation in theme manager. I'm not sure if you could simply replace the bootanimation.zip and then reapply the default theme boot animation. Try that out, if it doesn't work I'll explain how to make an mtz with the boot animation or if you want I can make it for you.

Thanks jane. I replaced the boot animation in /System/Media/ and switched it to default, i tried that before but i didn't realize that you had to change it to default.
Thanks a lot.
The miui boot ani's are in mtz format correct? How would I go about making that into a bootanimation.zip?

If you have an mtz with a boot animation that you want to use for another rom, change the mtz extension to .zip. Extract the zip file and you'll see a folder named "boots", inside that folder is the bootanimation.zip
The boot animation itself is not in mtz format, it's still your normal "bootanimation.zip", but if it's a part of a theme then the theme will be in mtz format.

i was on Huawei x6 variant and while changing the boot animation from theme i ended up putting a corrupt (i guess so) android 4 bootanimation and it was stuck at the boot animation screen.
i was searching google and ended up here which i found useful. thanks
but it didnt help me to resolve .. but shed some light.
luckily i had access to the phone with QtADB
the active boot animation MIUI rom uses is located in the /data/system/theme/boots/
the theme folder itself is the whole modded theme of yours.
so changing the animation (zip file) here will be as good as changing from theme edit option . just wanted to share this
so then how would you go around converting a .zip boot ani to .mtz?
if you have an mtz(have to have the folders right), so use an old one and replace the bootanimation.zip with the one you want to use and when zipping it up(normal in 7zip)
type xxxxx(name you want to call it).mtz and 7zip will make it a mtz that you place on sdcard and then open theme changer and it should be there
Running latest MIUI I have .mtz files for Boot Animations, Fonts, Icon Sets etc in /sdcard/MIUI/theme/ and then go into Settings/Themes and manage it all there with Customize function.
It is hit or miss simply renaming a .zip to .mtz but have found it to work but if it doesn't I have had some serious FC issues and had to restore from last CW backup. I use Boot Manager if I want a virtual ROM I can mess up and restore on the fly without rebooting.
this is how I able to change my boot animation on my galaxy s gti9000 it might help u. (please note me using different phone)
steps
1. take any bootanimation.zip of your choice download it in your pc.
2. In your pc create one folder called boots.
3. put bootanimation.zip in boots folder.
4. take any .mtz file and open it (using win.rar)
5. delete the data of .mtz file keep any 1 file because if you delete everything windows will delete .mtz file it self.
6. now put the boot folder in .mtz file
7. delete remaining 1 file which you kept as it is in step 5.
8. rename the .mtz file as 1bootanimation.mtz (or u can give any name but remember it)
9. now take your phone and connect it to your pc
10. open file explorer in your mobile
11. paste the 1bootanimation.mtz into sdcard/miui/theme
12. now go to theme apps and select 1.bootanimation and apply it
it should change your boot animation and this way you can have multiple bootanimation and apply it whenever you like it.

Hi Could you please temme how to make a mtz bootanimation or is there a tutorial anywhere ....thanks
Hey all,
I've created a boot animation with the Nexus "X" logo and the stock ICS animation in the background if anyone's interested. Here's a video demo of it. Sorry for the video being in portrait. I took it landscape, but YouTube decided to rotate it.
How to install
This is not a flashable zip, and you need to be rooted to install.
Get a file explorer and navigate to /system/media
Rename "botanimation.zip" to "1bootanimation.zip1"
Place the attached bootanimation.zip into /system/media
Reboot. Enjoy.
Download the file from here.
To revert back to whatever boot animation you had before this one, just delete the new bootanimation.zip and restore the name of the renamed one.
I've successfully created a QMG version of the Droid Razr M's boot animation using Samsung Theme Designer. It runs smoothly and doesn't lag. I'd like to thank XDA member @Nonta72 for creating a guide on how to convert zip files to qmg for noobs like me
***Requirements***
Backup of your stock boot animations just in case the new one doesn't work
Rooted device
File Explorer (Make sure that you've given it proper root permissions)
***Instructions***
Step 1: Download the attached zip below and extract it to your SD card (or your device storage).
Step 2: Go to your file explorer app and navigate to /system/media, scroll down and you should see three QMG files: bootsamsung.qmg, bootsamsungloop.qmg, and shutdown.qmg. Delete them after you've backed them up.
Step 3: In your file explorer app copy both of the extracted bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg files from your SD card/device storage and then navigate to /system/media. Paste both of these files in this location. Warning! Your phone will boot loop if you don't use the bootsamsungloop.qmg file!
Step 4: While in the file explorer go back to your SD card/device storage and copy the PowerOn.ogg sound file. Put this in /system/media/audio/ui.
Step 5: Reboot your phone. The Droid Razr boot animation should play as normal. If it doesn't check to make sure that you've followed the above instructions and try again, and post here if you need help with anything.

Here's the stock animation. Which version of the Galaxy Core Prime do you have? Did you delete the old qmg files before you put the new qmg files in /system/media?

Hello
I would like to install custom bootanimation in my 5.1.1 stock rooted deodex firmware but all my searches spoke about bootanimation.zip to backup in system/media or in other folders but I don't have any bootanimation.zip to backup so my question is how can I install bootanimation.zip in this case ? Is there a mod to install before ?
Thanks
Edit :
I found bootanimation in system/bin so I replaced it with the one from another boot animation and put bootanimation.zip to system/media
but when I rebooted, I only had a black screen with sound without bootloop.
Please help
OK Thanks Me,
I found the solution, I replaced bootanimation in system/bin by myself directly then placed bootanimation.zip in system /media via TWRP file manager then reboot and now it works
