Hello guys,
I haven't found BIOS boot animation for Sony Xperia S so I made one.
ROOT NEEDED!
How to install using Root Explorer:
Download the bootanimation.zip
Using Root Explorer, copy bootanimation.zip to /system/media ** Delete what is there. **
Reboot
Enjoy

OR you can flash the BIOS-bootanimation(flashable zip).zip into recovery.

Look nice and vintage, thanks!
I can't get this working
Renamed to bootanimation.zip, tried it in both locations, even in both at the same time, no joy. Even tried changing permissions, still no joy :'(
I just get a blank screen.
Are you sure the resolution is right?

Hope so, I still think it might have something to do with resolution? I've changed bootanimations before by just pasting it into system/media, and they've always worked, unless res is wrong.

HiJust thought i would post this up for everyone to see.. I take no credit.. But it does work on our phones..
All credit to tntdroid from android central forums..
Also Big thanks to irieme for fixing it to work at 480x800, it looks perfect now thx!
bootanimation.zip for adding to system/media or data/local
and CWM flashable zip which will add it to system/media for you...
Make sure you have moved/deleted any other custom boot animation you had on your phone before..
If you want to go back to stock then just delete/move the bootanimation.zip file from the folder you put it in and you will be back at stock.
Simples!
how about posting a video or GIF how it looks ?

Like that but on our phones. ;-)
Also if you don't like it you can always delete the bootanimation.zip and return to samsung default boot screen.

no copy to system/media or data/local with root explorer..
if you want to flash it with cwm you need to make the update.zip using one you already have.. and replace the file that it was previously used for with the bootanimation.zip in either the system/media folder or data/local.
Make sense?
Works like a charm. Thank you very much-

He may have put his own one in data/local if you see a bootanimation.zip in there move it to your SD card incase you want to use it again.
Then the honey one in system/media should work hopefully.

In /data/local there's a "tmp" named folder and inside it there's a .lck file.
In /system/media there's also the shutdown animation in a folder, but it shouldn't affect this boot animation I think, or does it?
It's so wonderful !!!

Now it works.. it just had something to do with me moving the bootanimation.zip to /system/media in the first place.
Maybe because it didn't replace the excisting file but it renamed itself.
Then I deleted the old bootanimation and renamed the new one.
Now that I deleted all the zip's and then moved the animation, it works perfectly, thanks!
Hey everyone, every time I try to change my boot animation it never works and gives me the stock AOSP android screen. It doesn't matter which ROM or boot animation OR method of adding it. I can be in CM10 or paranoid android and it won't work. It can be any animation and it won't work. I can adb push, use ROM toolbox, or copy manually and it won't work. Any help is needed please.

Changing permission !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've never done that !!!!!!!!!!!!
And, what are right permissions.
Posted from a smartphone which is my Note(memo)Pad thats why everybody says it Galaxy "Note"
bootanimation.zip copy paste to system/media and reboot. That's how I always do it and never had issues.

The same for moving apps to the system. The bootanimation.zip has to be rw-r--r--
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Place the file in /system/media/bootanimation.zip. It will get wiped when performing ROM upgrades. I've read that also placing the file in /data/local/bootanimation.zip will overwrite what's placed in /system/media/bootanimation.zip but I haven't tried it.
BTW, I user ROM Toolbox and AniBoot to download and install boot animations.

Yep, putting boot animation.zip in /data/local is much easier and safer. You don't have to bother setting permissions there. It doesn't delete the one in /system/media, it just takes precedence over it. The system looks in /data/local first, and if no boot animation is there it runs the one in /system/media instead.
Thanks guys

NO!
1st:- download root explorer from play store.
2nd:-download the above file bootanimation.zip to any location on your SD card.
3rd:-then using root explorer copy the file bootanimation.zip and paste and overright it inside system/media/(folder).. or delete the bootanimation.zip file there and then paste it..(!!! also u can copy the original bootanimation.zip form the media folder to your sdcard as a backup.
4th:-after pasting the file at the location just restart the phone Woo..la..la.. your are done...:victory:
You can just save the bootanimation.zip file to your /data/local folder. That doesn't require root and also you won't have to redo it every time you update to a new nightly, for example.
I just flashed the latest nightly and the new boot animation has been added to it.

How is that rom? Just want to know since I am considering buying a nitro, I am in need of an LTE phone (not really wanting to that much though).
tiny but more awsome than cm9 version^^
So I may be completely blind but I've been looking around and can't seem to find a thread that works for changing bootanimation on the htc one. I've tried replacing bootanimation and also bootanimation and downanimation but I never have permissions to do so even with root access. I'm currently on EclipticOne 4.4. I appreciate any help or direction to the proper thread, thanks!

Not sure if this is what your looking for, but I use this Matrix themed one sometimes. You can just flash the zip in recovery. The one you download depends on how you bootanimation file is named, but the instructions explain that.

1. Find preferred boot animation.
2.Go to the root of your system files.
3.Look for folder labeled "System" go into that.
4.Find folder labeled "customize" go into that
5.Lastly look for "resource" Folder go into that
6.Get preferred boot animation Rename it to "vzw_bootup"

For the Verizon One the file name will actually be either hTC_bootup_one.zip or bootanimation.zip depending on the ROM (one of those two will be in that location). EclipticOne 4.4 uses the filename bootanimation.zip.
Edit: If the ROM you're using still has the stock Verizon boot animation running, vzw_bootup would be in there.

Try using Root Browser. You should be able to with that.
And just to be safe, just add .bak to the current boot animation.zip. That way you can simply revert back in case the one you choose doesn't work.

OK I have changed my bootanimation many times with many roms. I cannot get it to work with my SIII using C-Rom. It's 4.4.2 (and an awesome rom btw). I placed the new bootanimation.zip in the system/media directory using root explorer just like always and I used one that I know for sure works because I have used it before. But instead of the new boot animation it just shows the image I attached and it kind of shimmers. I tried putting the original bootanimation.zip back in place and it still is this stupid picture. Any ideas?

A long time ago...
I had a problem like that sometime ago,but i just resolved the situation by using a program (.apk) such as rom toolbox.Did you try that already???
Please make sure the permissions are set correctly on the new bootanimation. (rw_r_r )

In Root Explorer, under properties of the file, you can change permissions. The Animation won't work fine unless you set the right permissions.
Glad its worked out.
