Can anyone be really kind and tell me how to customize boot animation within the boot image. I have extacted the boot image within the the kitchen but are a bit lost looking at the files. .... Advice appreciated...
Boot animation isn't located in boot.img.
On aosp roms it is at /system/media/
Not too surr about sense roms.

In sense based roms its located in system/customize/resource/
Just replace the existing 'bootanimation.zip' with the one that you want.

Hi if you are still there. Have tried replacing with renaming to the same as files in rom. When that didnt work I replaced with stock and tried editing original files. Nothing seems to work. Once edited boot up is black. Now i get the normal htc white and then it goes to black with android in the centre. Where that came from I have no idea. Appreciate any advice. Cheers....

No you don't. The reason he is only seeing a black screen is because when he made his bootanimation.zip he compressed the zip file.
The animation cannot be compressed.
Use a program like 7zip to make the zip file and use store as the compression type. Then it will work

Thx for your help....The files I have been using are from the Ultimate_HOX_Bootanimation collection. They have already been created. Have tried altering so the same value is on the txt file within the zip but nothing is working. I am lost...Cheers

and the bootanimation.zip need to be renamed same as the original zip name in resource folder. e.g. hTC_bootup_one.zip for my HOX

Yeah tried all of that. No go and think it's because from stock Rom its not enabled to change the boot animation. Even tho I've gained root access via the kitchen I can't find how to enable it. Cheers anyway and if u known more about the kitchen. Advice welcomed. Cheeeers

ok so this is the stock android boot image where ANDROID in android font flashes across the screen. there is no lag and looks very nice. follow the steps bellow to install.
WARNING - ANYTHING THAT MODIFIES THE FILES ON YOUR PHONE MAY DAMAGE IT. ONLY FOLLOW THE STEPD BELLOW IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!
To be able to do this you will need root explorer.
you can buy this off the android market or find it online
1 - install root explorer onto your phone trough some sort of file manager
2 - download the bootanimation.zip file from the link below
3 - place it in the root of your sd card ( if on the xda app it will be in your downloads folder)
4 - open root explorer and switch to be able to write
5 - copy the boot.img file from your sd card to system/media and delete the boot image or animation already there( if that doesnt work try data/local )
6 - reboot your phone to make sure the boot animation is working properly

I didn't know it could boot from a .img file. I thought only zips would work.
I might have to give this a try just to see.

Unfortunately I have to disagree. This is the stock built in bootanimation. You don't need any special files to envoke it.
If you simply remove the /system/media/bootanimation.zip you get the same results.
Don't take it the wrong way, perhaps you were just miss informed.

didnt know that
So I found this fantastic boot animation, and decided I wanted to change. I searched around, and found a method where you replaced 'bootanimation' in system/bin and changed permissions to 777. It did not work. Then I tried the old, Samsung firmware method and it worked!
Here are the steps (using Root Explorer):
1. Find a suitable bootanimation.zip
2. Place it in data/local
3. Reboot!
You can of course place it there using any other method. No need to modify any permissions. It should work.
Thanks dude

Ah.. So it is basically like a 'clean slate'. You mod it the way you want. Plus if you're okay with having the stock thingy, as rebooting phones is a very rare activity in daily, normal usage, it saves at least an MB of space.

And this works with CM7 too, right? Needs root?
EDIT: Checked the app. Nice alternative, if you want to avoid the hassles of manually changing bootanimation.zip.

Didnt work out for me. Using Gingercrutz ROM and did as per the instruction . Am i missing something?
ok,
so i have followed all the tutorials on how to add a custom boot animation to the droid incredible. all atempts have failed and i have tried a variation of ways.
could this be that the custom rom i have wont allow it.
The custom rom i have right now is the Liberated v3.0 custom rom
and my kernal is 2.6.35.13
how come i cant load a custom boot animation.
the only other thing to try would be flashing the .zip file but i dont no if that will hurt the phone like all my data?
Could try rom toolbox.

Boot animations are named and stored in different places on different roms. Could be in /system/customize/resource, or /system/media, or somewhere else. If you have a file explorer like root explorer you can do a search for "bootanimation" and it should find the original lacation of the bootanimation and then just replace it with the one you want. Make sure the new one is named exactly like the original one, and that you set the correct permissioms, owner, and group.

Replace the /system/customize/resourve/VZW_bootanimation.zip. just rename the old one to VZW_bootanimation.zip.bak and then take the new bootanimation name it VZW_bootanimation.zip. also change permissions to the same as the old file, and change owner and group to root.

Well you should rename the original one in /system/customize/resource to VZW_bootanimation.zip.bak, and then copy your new bootanimation to the same directory and give it the same name VZW_bootanimation.zip and set the correct permissions.

That is actually pretty easy. They are PB31IMG.zip files flashed thru hboot. You just have to search for one you like thats compatible with the incredible. I believe there is a huge thread on them in the themes section.

You dont flash it thru recovery you do it in hboot. When you enter hboot, (vol down +power while the phone is off) a white screen will pop up it should automaticly find the PB31IMG.zip and prompt you to press vol up to update. The PB31IMG.zip file has to be on the root of your sdcard meaning in no folders, and named exactly that caps and all.
I have Liquidsmooth v2.2 rom installed and I went through replacing the boot animation.zip with a different custom .zip but all it did was erase the Liquidsmooth animation and it boots first with the Samsung logo then galaxy s III logo and then its a black screen for the rest of the boot up. I'm not sure how to fix it at this point. I also flashed the samsung4u.zip using recovery...not sure if that's what messed it up but I would really appreciate some knowledge.

Your bootanimation.zip permission is wrong. It would be -rw-r--r--. then reboot
Was it even flashable ZIP file or was it meant to be copied and renamed? None of the ones I have used were flashable. As the previous person mentioned you need to correct the file permissions.

Buddy, these are Bootanimations files which are not flash able zip files. so as per OP Screen shot, permission is incorrect.

I'm fully aware that the ones that I have used (and the one I created) are not flashable however I was under the impression that they can be packaged into a flashable ZIP. I have not attempted because I just copy it and set the permissions. As far as the permissions on the OPs screenshot I was agreeing with your assessment that the permissions on the file are incorrect.

The samsung4u.zip is a Samsung animation bin file...which I realize I didn't need...but I think I just need to reflash my rom and start over...I wasnt paying the best attention to where the bootanimation.zip should be stored and whatenot before, nor did I really research how to do it. hah

This isn't working on the Verizon RUU. I don't think this is where the boot animation is saved...
@JFLiPped i have the carbon grey unlocked with the verizon RUU. It is definitely working. Did you rename the zip or place the contents in this folder?
the zip should be renamed to bootanimation.zip and place in the /system/media folder with write privileges.
It's working!Thank you!(Zenfone 2)
