Rename downloaded file bootanimation-N7.zip to bootanimation.zip, push to system/media, set permission to rw-r-r then reboot. Remember to back-up your current bootanimation by just renaming it to bootanimation.zip.bak.

Anyone know of a kernel I can use with my AT&T S3 - UCDLK3/Jelly Bean. I am looking for one that doesn't have modifications to WiFi/Bluetooth, and pretty much only allows for Boot Animations. I am using the latest Stock/Rooted ROM.

Unless you really just want a new kernel, the stock ATT kernel will allow custom boot animations with a few minor edits... this works for JB or ICS. Make backup copies of files just in case, or Nandroid but this is simple change, really.
in /system/bin, do the following:
1. delete samsungani
2. rename bootanimation to samsungani (the file, not a zip file)
You will need to edit the boot animation zip you want to use. Open with archiver of choice and navigate to the desc.txt file.
Change the 0 after the p in the second line to a 1. Here's an example in bold:
720 1280 30
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
change to:
720 1280 30
p 1 0 part0
p 1 0 part1
Save, and place in /system/media. Reboot. Profit.
Oh yeah, make sure perms are set (644) or it won't work.

Worked thanks Now need to change the startup audio.
Well I thought it worked, but I don't get the Animation I was expecting, but just a multi colored "X" which I think is the default Nexus boot animation?
Found the PowerOn.ogg file in /system/media/audio/ui folder. Renamed that to PowerOn.old and copied a wav file to same folder as PowerOn.ogg, works. Just can't get the bootanimation.zip file to load. Just the glowing "X" loads as the animation.
EDIT:
Using the above method just prevents the AT&T logo boot animation from running, and it defaults to /data/local/bootanimation.zip. I tried renaming that file, and copying the custom bootanimation.zip to /data/local, but that seemed to mess up my phone. It would boot, but the screen was blank, and then parts would become visible. Had to restore from a backup to get phone working again.
EDIT AGAIN:
Looks like one particular Boot Animation ZIP file is the culprit. I tried another and placed it in /data/local and it worked.
This mess up my phone all i get it is black screen even after i wait good 10 min. I had to restore nandroid backup..

Just saw this...black screen after boot is usually a perms issue. Double check all file perms before rebooting.
I was getting bored of the stock Sony boot animation on my XZ and decided it was time for a change!
So I took the boot animation from the Galaxy S4 Google Edition and replaced the Google logo with the Xperia logo using Photoshop
Hope you like it!
It works on any firmware on the Z, ZL and ZU.
Installation using CWM/TWRP (ROOT IS REQUIRED!):
Download and flash the XperiaGoogleBootAnimation.zip file from the bottom of this post, simples.
Or if you don't have a custom recovery (AGAIN ROOT IS REQUIRED!):
Download bootanimation.zip from the bottom of this post
Copy it to your SD card (internal or external)
Using Root Explorer or ES File Explorer, move the downloaded bootanimation.zip to /system/media and overwrite when prompted.
Make sure the permissions are set to rw- r-- r--
Reboot and enjoy!
To revert to the stock boot animation:
Flash the StockXperiaBootAnimation.zip file from the bottom of this post using CWM or TWRP.
Please ask me first if you want to use it in your ROM.

Problems with re-sizing boot animation to full Note 2 resolution using Boot Animation Manager.
Used Boot Animations Manager, same developer from RomToolbox to Re-size the boot animation which results in Black Screen of Death.

This did not load boot animations from any directory I've found.
1. Place the bootanimation.zip file of your choice in /system /media
2. Still in /system /media , backup and then delete bootsamsungloop.qmg and bootsamsung.qmg files
EDIT: Deleting these qmg files is OPTIONAL ( I always delete stuff I am not using, to create more space in /system , but that's up to the user )
3. Then go to /system /bin , backup and then delete samsungani (This one you have to delete no optional, not optional cause....see step 4 )
4. Still in system /bin rename the file bootanimation to samsungani ( yes there is also in /system /bin a file called bootanimation but without .zip)

Custom Boot Animation (TWRP ZIP INSTALL)
Boots animations loaded from /data/local/bootanimation.zip
? Sources state that /system/media/bootanimation.zip should be default location
! I get /data/local/bootanimation.zip as default location.
If I re-size the animation, I get black screen boot.
The screen never gets to android's X Window Manager.

Anyone know how I can re-size full screen boot animations to 720/[email protected]?

If solution is found, will be posted here.
My solution so far is to download HD 1280x720 boot animations.
I really like the "Space Tease" boot animation from

-Probably there's a way to create custom boot animations.
GOOD NEWS!
You can now use .mp4 video files as your boot animations (if you didn't see it on the portal). You can follow the directions here (you must be rooted for the new method to work):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-university/guide-set-video-bootanimationtesters-t2915445
Also, because I was testing to see if things would work I whipped up a new animation for everyone. Nothing fancy, just a good old timely classic from my childhood. A custom (orginal) Playstation boot screen re-worked with a new 3d logo, etc. etc.
I will be giving directions for the new video method, but I am also uploading files if you want to do it the old way.
PREVIEW:
FLASHABLE ZIPS NOTE:
The first flashable zip replaces ONLY the boot animation in the "/system/media" directory and is the video type. It makes no other changes.
The second flashable zip is intended for Sprint stock based sense roms and is also the video type. The zip not only contains the bootanimation, but also a backup of the original "default.xml" file in "/system/customize/CID" and the original "bootanimation" binary in the "/system/bin" directory. This is in case you would like to go back to the old image sequence based bootanimations.
DIRECTIONS:
VIDEO:
First, download the "bootanimation" binary from the link above. Make a backup of your current "bootanimation" binary in the directory "/system/bin" and then copy the new binary you downloaded into that same directory. Change the permission of the binary file to 0755 and you are done with that.
Next, copy whichever video "bootanimation.zip" file you want into the "/system/media" directory and change the files permissions to 0644 / rw-r-r.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
For Sprint stock users you need to do one more thing. Get a file manager for android and edit the "default.xml" file located in the directory "/system/customize/CID". Open the file to edit and scroll down till you see this sequence:
Code:
<BootConfiguration>
<BootAnimation animation="/system/customize/resource/***whateverbootanimation.zip***" />
and change it to this:
Code:
<BootConfiguration>
<BootAnimation animation="/system/media/bootanimation.zip" />
reboot and enjoy!
Questions, problems, further clarification... I'm happy to help. Just leave a comment.
If you want to use any of the bootanimations I have created, go right ahead. You have permission. All I ask is that you make mention of where you got the animation and that I created it. Pretty simple. :good:
Hold on, shouldn't boot animations be in picture format? Last time I tried flashing an mp4, my boot animation wouldn't play. Now no other boot animations play no matter how I change it. How can this be possible?

not working
i use this method not only didnt it work, like an idiot i didnt backup my bootanimation bin file and now i just see a blank screen:crying:
The archive shutdown.qmg put in system /media/video/shutdown will replace for the new ( remember first install via TWRP and later descomprime the bootanimation.zip the archive SHUTDOWN.QMG move to this folderSteps
Download the zip and install via TWRP
It's very beautiful and ORIGINAL :good:
