Stumbled upon a really nice app today while rummaging around the play store. Basically, you can change your boot animations on the fly by downloading various zip files through this app, re-sizing them, and that's it. It allows you to modify your desc.txt file through the UI for the image to screen sizing. Please be aware that if you do not check to resize the image, you will likely go into a boot loop. Know what you are doing when you do it to avoid issues, and any bootanimation.zip you download and install, check it's resolution.
Here is a direct link to the play store. Highly recommend the paid version of this as it allows previews to the boot ani.
Have fun
App is by jrummy, same guy who does ROM toolbox.

I was going to try to remove them with NinjaMorph from Stericson, but the phone just reboots during initial checks. I am running slidemeroot2.
Its in the htc resources apk ..you have to be rooted because its a system file
or you can edit one of the themes, resign the apk and install on your phone

they are called Containers. they are located in themes under drawable-land and drawable-port
3 files in each folder
Dude you mind posting the signed apk with out them? I can't find my folder with my signing tool. I'm searching for what I used to use on the forums. Also I'm guessing to install you did it with adb install (or did you push) to system/app? ..mounted in recovery of course
you can download slidemeroot5 from eugene. her already removed bubbls in this build
I'd say your best bet without root would be to try adw launcher or launcher pro. probably the easiest route, anyway.
Like Mayormullet said, LauncherPro will do just want you want and give you a more useful menu bar. I can't live without it.
ADW will too, but I didn't like it as much.
So first off I know that the smasumg decided to turn all the boot animations from zips to qmgs. Which has made it impossible to install custom boot animations.
I also know that qmg files are owned by some company, I forget there name, and I assume that its a very expensive program because they don't list the price of this program on there site.
I assume that qmgs are compressed archive file of some sort and it contains all the pngs of the boot animation.
Then I got to thinking. That there has to be some decompiler or emulator of some sort in android or dalvik. Can this be?
Has anybody been able to hack or decompile/decompress these qmgs yet?

No

Thats exactly what I was thinking, that Android must have a decompiler or a way to read these QMG files.
Unfortunately, if you wanna decompile the qmg files, you'll have to buy a program that does it, and it's not cheap.
Good Luck

We've all looked for it. It's available at a corporate level, for purchase. Not a single program known to end-users have the qmg format. I've looked all over for it. Most people replace qmg for a kernel that supports bootanimation.zip
I'm guessing this program doesn't work then?

One year later but here it is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189934
Hi there,
Recentley I dived in the rom world. First to try out was CM but somewhere I read that Xylon is a nice and stable rom as well so I went and tryed it. I love it specially that dark background I noticed CM didnt have it, for my screen is specially good cause I have for some reason burn ins. But. I want to make 2 small modifications in it and I havent figured out how:
1. I'd like to change the loading animation which I find boring to say at least.
2. I cant make the desktop to rotate.
If someones knows and has the time to help me out I'd apreaciate it.
Thank you.
Theres a tutorial here on XDA for changing boot animations. Pretty sure it's just a matter of switching out the file with a file manager. Desktop rotation would be enabled in the launcher settings. If the one you have doesn't allow for desktop rotation there are a bunch of them available through the Play Store. Nova is a good one. Just search for "launcher replacements".
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
That's the thing. I know of 2 places where loading animation must be placed but in Xylon I didnt have bootanimation.zip there and the one I placed didnt got loaded.
I installed Nova on Xylon and activated the option(s) to rotate desktop but it doesnt work, it works on CM however. With Xylon I can only rotate the lockscreen, not much use of it tough.

Maybe you didn't find the animation because the default Android boot logo files (2 .png files in framework-res.apk) are replaced with the custom ones....
Just flash one boot animation into /system/media/ and that's it.
Check rotation settings... there may also be tweak for JB 4.2.2 launcher to enable rotation (build.prop).. I'm not using Xylon ROM so I don't know which launcher it is using..
I managed with Nova Launcher to fix the desktop rotation. However, Xylon is a bit defferent then the rest of the rom's out there. The loading animation is located in the system/bin directory and is named bootanimation only, without .zip. Looks like it's out of the question to load an animation on Xylon.

No no no...
It's an Bin file that is needed and it have been in Android maybe since Android 1.5... It's not the file you are looking for! DO NOT touch that file if you don't want mess up anything!
open the ROM .zip file and go to this folder: /system/frameworks/ and open framework-res.apk and then locate to /assets/images/ check: android-logo-mask and -shine.png then you'll find that what you are looking for!
Nothing bad happened when I removed it but in the meantime I reinstalled the rom for other reasons. I managed to succesfully install other loading animations from recovery but the cyanogenmod loading animation still eludes me somehow. I can't get that working

Just download one flashable boot animation .zip (not bootanimation.zip) then open the flashable .zip and replace bootaniamtion.zip with CM's bootanimation.zip and flash the boot aniamtion.
Should be in either /system/media or /data/local

Well, I tried just now. I copied the bootanimation.zip into a working file and flashed it but the loader returns to the Xylon loading animation. I can flash any loading animation but the one from CM not.
Hello everyone,
I previously had the Oneplus 3 and I upgraded to the 6T. But from the OP3 I had the blue Oneplus Colette boot animation. I haven't found a viable replacement for my 6T. So I have done it myself. I modified the boot animation to a medium blue (#0073ff). I hope you guys enjoy it.
I attached a gif of the boot animation below.
Installation Method:
This process requires root
If you have magisk installed
Go into magisk manager, magisk modules
Install from storage
Choose zip and flash
Reboot and enjoy!
Any feedback is welcome
Important
The boot animation has the old OnePlus logo. I don't have the 8/ 8 Pro, so I can't make one with the new logo
This is no longer the case. I have both boot animations with the old and new OnePlus logo.
Don't extract the bootanimation.zip to change the desc.txt file! And install that as the new bootanimation! IT WON'T WORK! Best way to change the position of the boot animation is in the Issues section
Issues
If you got into any issues, just remove the magisk module.
If the position is wrong... Sorry for that as the desc/ positioning is set for the OP6T.
No worries tho as you can fix it yourself!
Uninstall the magisk module!
And as u have ROOT, go and find your original bootanimation.
Copy and it to back it up into your internal storage and rename it with something like original_bootanimation.zip
Go into the .zip file, open the desc.txt, find what are the numbers on the first line! Take a note of it!
Then reinstall the magisk module
After rebooting, install the Jrummy bootanimation app (Bootanimations for superuser) from the play store
Then go into manage current bootanimation and tweak the bootanimation to same the numbers as your original bootanimation first line in the desc.txt
Reboot and check.
If it went well then well done! U can stop here or continue. Up to you
The new issues is that u should back up and tweak the magisk module, so that u got a copy of that bootanimation with that position and don't have to keep tweaking the bootanimation every time u switch to a ROM or phone.
So, go into system and find the new bootanimation (still bootanimation.zip)
Copy and paste to internal storage. Because u renamed the original bootanimation zip file, both zip files should be there and not replaced.
Then extract the boot animation magisk module
Go into system -> media
Delete that bootanimation.zip file and copy + paste the one u just copied into internal storage
Then go back till u have the module files and folders
Select all and compress/archive them into a zip file
Take a copy and backup that zip file! You now made ur own magisk module
Now uninstall the bootanimation magisk module in magisk manager
Reboot system and then install the magisk module u made
Done, u got your own magisk module and can keep reusing it with the exact position u want
If you're having issues installing both the magisk module and the bootanimation .zip files.
The is a last resort, which is to install Boot Animations for Superuser app from the play store and it does need root, here's the link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.boot.animations
Before going through with this way of installation, make sure u have a copy of the desc.txt files/values as we need them later on.
Open the app
Press the plus symbol
Find the bootanimation.zip file u want to install
Press install
Once it has installed
Go back to the home menu of the app
Press plus symbol
Choose manage current animation
Using the saved copy of the desc.txt file, open the file
Now change the width and height (only one of them as the other changes accordingly) to match the values in the desc.txt file
Press apply
Now reboot to check the bootanimation looks right
Done, you now got your new bootanimation with the exact width and height
You can go back and change the FPS, but idk if it'll work correctly. Also, u can go and find this modified bootanimation .zip file and use it for your own magisk module!
Updates
27/1/21 I have created a Magisk module for this and it works great in my experience
29/09/21 I have previously got the new OP bootanimation for OOS 11 and it has the new OP logo. I did tweak it with the blue and have successfully made a magisk module for it. It works perfectly! Ps. the desc/prefs are set for the OP6T!
I have also renamed the files and put [MAGISK], to make it obvs that these are magisk modules and people don't flash the actual boot animation!
I have now attached magisk modules and just bootanimation zip files for:
Stock OP boot animation with old + new OP logo
OP boot animation in NASA colours (only old OP logo)
Blue OP bootanimation with old + new OP logo
13/10/21 I have added a additional method in issues section for users who've been unable to install the bootanimation for both magisk module and manually changing it in system/media
Enjoy
Thanks allot for the reminder, I completely forgot I bought jrummys rom toolbox years ago, worked fantastic for both fonts and boot animation.
Damn JRummy! This was like gingerbread days wasn't it? Those were the days for Android modding. Nothing like cyanogenmod, running init.d scripts,and endless overclocking lol
... Can we just make this an android nastalgia thread?

Nice one dude! Can you make another color? Anyway, I like your choice for using JRummy, what a nostalgia lol

I have been continuing the project. But I have to reassure you that this will take time as this is for free and I am using my free time to do this. I have another question. Because you want the white blue do you want that for the OnePlus logo as well? I was thinking of using the red and blue you given to make it look more like the NASA logo. As that is your theme. But it will be quite weird during boot, where the Oneplus logo is white, then it changes to blue and red suddenly for the boot animation. Let me know if you want this change, otherwise, I'll just keep it white. But that will be weird as well as the white transitions to blue
Here's my idea. Reply pls

No. You just follow the method at the start of the thread. I said I tried, but it didn't work. The zip only contains the bootanimation

I stumbled across this thread while hunting for a simple livewire-like boot animation for oneplus 6t. I never found one, but I gotta say man, you did great with that oneplus logo.
has anyone messed with or changed their boot animation? looking to change mine to something but wasnt sure where to start
I don't think there's much happening, at least when asked differently before:
Any cool boot animations out there?
I'm wondering if there's a nice animation to replace the ugly warning on a rooted device?
forum.xda-developers.com
Maybe a custom ROM or Magisk module has something...

yeah, it looks like flashing through magisk might be the only way, for some reason you cant change the root directory files manually, so i guess i gotta figure out how to make a magisk module
Push it thru fastboot is probably the way to do it.

Downloaded and wanted to make a backup of my stock bootanimation but the backup function doesn't seem to work. Any hints?
Edit: Figured it out, needed to browse to root/product/media for installation location and give the app root access. Gonna give it a shot now.
Edit 2: was able to make a backup but app is unable to install new bootanimation.zip no specifics
