Hey guys, I'm running CM10(stable). i loved the bootani, like seriously, i pretty made out with my phone each time i saw it. Then i went ahead and flashed TRINITY kernel. That completely changed the bootani into something that i just completely hated. I followed a bunch of how to's and copy this file here and delete this one and change permissions. and NONE of that worked for. Instead, when i followed them and delete the old bootani and copy the new one, not only did it not work, I'm now stuck with no animation! I found a tutorial with a .zip that when flashed, allows you to flash any bootani you want and everyone that has used that has had success. but thats not working for me either! Can someone please give me a tutorial or link me to one that can at least give me a bootani, CM10 preferably, but right now, just having a bootani is my main priority.
Thanks to anyone and everyone that at least attempts to help and a BIG thanks to the ones that actually help! :laugh::good:
Once again, Thanks in advance everyone !:good:
Also, i would prefer to not have to do a fresh install of CM10 or have to go back to TW. I would like it to just fix my animation problem without really flashing anything ROMS or doing a reset or stuff like that.
Thanks!
Changing your boot animation is actually not too hard.
Look for a bootanimation that you like and download it. It should be named bootanimation.zip and contain a desc.txt file and a couple folders with images in them. If its named something else rename it to bootanimation.zip
Using root explorer navigate to system/media and rename the current bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip.bak as a backup. you could just delete it if u want.
Then copy the one u downloaded to system/media and change the permissions to rw-r-r
Reboot your phone and enjoy.
I'd avoid using utilities or flashing zips...its easier and safer to do it manually.
BTW here's a pretty cool one that I use:

I don't find any thread regarding bootanimations on Desire Z so I would like to ask some questions as I am new to this.
I managed to successfully root my Desire z and I have installed [ROM][6/5/11] InsertCoin_Vision Sense2.1 + 3.0 (v1.5) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1080999).
Now I would like to know how to change the bootanimations, I did some searching on the site and found the following guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846394).
Problem is there are several method and there's a specific method for Sense ROM. If I am using InserCoin with Vision Sense 2.1, which method should I follow?
Any ideas or advise on this? Thank you.
Easiest way to change boot animations is using something like root explorer. Download the boot animation you want and make sure it is named bootanimation.zip the copy it to system/customize/ resource and set the permissions correctly.
If check the themes and apps sections of other handsets you will find loads of boot animations. So will even be packaged as flashable zips

I tried to wipe all the data in /data/local using root explorer and put the bootanimation.zip. Nothing showed up when I reboot my Z.
I browsed to system/customize/resource and found there's the default bootanimation.zip from HTC. I have backed that up and was going to overwrite it with the new bootanimation.zip but it won't allow me because the file system is read only. I tried to change the permission but no luck.
Any help with this?

top right corner of the screen when you're in root explorer there is a little switch which says r/w. click it then you will be able to back up you original boot animation, and paste a new one in

You can also use the UOT kitchen. It has a lot of bootanimations available and is real simple to use. Here is the link...

This is awesome. Thank you for the link. Can't wait to play around with it.
looks pretty awesome. would like to see it on the evo
http://pocketnow.com/android/first-look-at-the-nexus-prime-boot-animation-video
Boot animations are a series of jpg files put into an uncompressed zip file. The desc.txt file gives a few instructions. You can read up on it and become a master in a few minutes to an hour or so. I googled it and learned enough to make one of my 3 year old playing soccer.
In any case, I successfully loaded it on my evo pretty easily.
http://www.droid-life.com/2011/10/08/download-nexus-prime-boot-animation/
to download a flashable version of it (click on nexus prime boot.zip).
I am not sure if you can just flash this zip file in recovery. Easier for me to just open it up and pull out the bootanimation.zip file.
I placed it on my hard drive, and then copied it over to prior bootanimation file:
/system/customize/resource/spc_bootanimation.zip
I renamed the old one to be safe, rebooted, and it seems to be working.
The desc.txt file may need to be tweaked to make it perfect, but to me it looks fine.
supar awesome. thanks alot! gonna try this out.
Looks really good ill check it out

Does anyone know of a better boot animation for the Blend Rom? Something more like the Caulkin ROMS boot animation.
Will it blend? Yes.

To actually answer your question, yes, you can. I know there is another play where you can put it, but the bootanimation.zip is commonly put in system>media. You'll need to delete the other bootanimation.zip before you do it, but if you put the attached .zip in that folder, it should work just fine. Note, this unlike most things I help with on here, I have not tested myself. I have previous knowledge and know that this works on htc phone. This one is however quite a bit different. The attached file is the bootanimation.zip that has been extracted from Calk's 2.8.1.
I previously had the HTC EVO and that was the method used on that phone if I recall correctly. I searched for the system/media folder and came up with nothing! I also looked in nearly every folder to find a sub folder that might work, but found nothing. Any clues?
I cant be the only guy out here that wants to change the boot animation. Someone has to know how.
Joecr250r
Depending on your kernel (I think its the kernel that decides, may be the ROM, any who), the .zip folder must be named "sanim.zip".
I'm currently running Blend v2.6.1 with Rogue kernel 1.4.0 "Gunslinger" and have changed my boot animation. The .zip must me named "sanim.zip" or it uses a default that's in one of the other /system files.
Still not sure as to where to put the .zip folder. Should I load it thru the Rogue Bootloader?
Found where it needed to go using ES file explorer. The boot animation is under system/media and the sound is system/etc PowerOn.wav for anyone else who wanted to know.
Thanks again for all the help.

Hey guys, I flashed the new Malice Rom (3/20/12), and I was wondering how I can switch the zombie boot animation. I know where to put the zip file, (/system/media) Somehow I cannot seem to get other ones to work. I made sure the replacement files mirror the original. Do I need to flash the entire file as opposed to just replacing the files using root explorer? Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I renamed it to bootanimation.zip, etc.
Copy and then Change permision file in root explorer rw-r-r

Ok, maybe it cause your custom boot animation not valid..

Well, I tried a couple other ones, and no dice. Could it be that the rom itself only allows that one(or none)?
Download rom toolbox and get the boot animations from there. By far the easiest way.

This is how i replaced the tmobile start up and shutdown animations with international version's
Using root explorer or es file manger, navigate to system/media and rename bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg to something else. Then download one of the custom roms from dev section like freegs3 and unzip it. Navigate to same folder in the unzip and copy bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg to your phone.
Repeat the same for system/media/video/shutdown/shutdown.qmg
Thank me if i helped!

He wants to remove them tho, just rename the .qmg files to have .bak at the end. This will stop them from being used and will still be there to rename if you decide you want them back.

I did mean boot hang where after the Samsung logo it just turns to black screen and that's it. No bootloops. It happened to me on my sprint s3 trying to modify build.prop. I haven't rooted my tmo s3 yet though so i don't have a way of backing up yet.

Use Root Explorer and enable R/W to edit system files.
/system/media/audio/ui
poweron.ogg
poweroff.ogg
Just rename those two files by adding a .bak to the end of each one. When the system searches for it at boot or shut down it won't find them since you renamed them. You'll now have a quiet boot and shut down.
If you are paranoid about the system just not finding the file then you can always use the attached file here which I created that's basically a very short silence for the system to play. Also has the backups of the original sounds too. Make sure to pay attention to the permissions and set them (long pressing each file and choosing permissions After you put them into their designated system folder) exactly as the included picture in the zip shows you. That's it.

That's exactly what was missing thanks Mike. I don't mind the animation so much the sound is more of what I mind, being very loud in case I forget to turn the phone in mute.
Edit: I just went and changed the extensions to .bak and there are 3 filed total.

So this all makes sence thanks for the help so far. I'd like to actually replace the bootanimation with a bootanimation.zip that someone made a while back. i renames the two files in system/media, copied the bootanimation.zip into same dir and its not just nothing.
