Hello world,
This seems to be a common problem when googling it. But non of the solutions helped me.
My problem is as following:
I'm a huge fan of the movie "Her". And I've been playing around with Sense 6 and After Effects to costumize my One M8 to look like OS1.
Lockscreen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The background is moving the like in the movie and all sounds are identical.
However, I miss one thing. The Bootanimation. (And Scarlett Johanson as Text-to-speech )
I've given the bootanimation folder permission to be written in, and I replaced the old zip file with a new bootanimation, but it doesn't change anything. Then I've tried with BootBox but it doesn't change anything!
The One M8 is ofcourse rooted, bootloaded and S-Off. Also stock Sense 6.
I've changed bootanimations before on my old One X+, where I didn't have any problems.
Any idea?

Yea. I replaced it with Root Explorer and it gets replaced succesfully, but it's still showing the old one. Even when I open the zip folder inside system/media it doesn't show the old one. So I have no clue on why its loading the old one, when its replaced correctly with a new one.
What permission had the original file, and did you change the permissions for the new one? With ES File Explorer I'm able to write to the system partition, but it never seems to copy over the correct permissions as well (drwxr-xr-x on system partition and bootanimation if I'm correct). So just askin'
I've found out that when I set S-Off the directory changes apparently. The new directory is: system/customize/resource

I don't mind donating to someone who can help either, but, basically, here's my theme/setup:

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
What I want to do, is change the color of the inside of the boxes behind the numbers to red, and leave the rims around them black/gray.
Is there anyway to edit the apk to do this? If so, could anoyne guide me through it? I would love help, because I think that that would just put my setup towards perfect for me.
well, usually what I do in this situation is first copy the apk to a working directory. Then extract the apk in the working directory, and look in one of the drawable folders for the image. Edit the image to your liking. Then when you are done, replace the original image inside the untouched apk you kept in your working directory. You should then be able to either push that apk back onto the phone, install it, or package it in the rom and reflash.

Ya know, I've been looking for the Apk file in my phone, and I have no idea where it's at (using sdk tools to search through my phone), because I was thinking just with common sense, that what you said would be the way to go about it.
here's the dev. site:
http://www.davidgoemans.com/mainsite/node/13
It looks like there's no apk to dload to the computer first... is there anyway you can help me with where to look on my phone for the file?
It is probably in /system/framework
Either com.htc.resources.apk
or
framework-res.apk
Well, I went ahead and found it, but, now it's not letting me install the apk for some reason. It's saiying that it's replacing the old digiclock even though I removed that one.
Here's the apk file I created. All I did was rename it to a zip, replace the files, and rename it back to apk.
Can anyone help?
Ok, I got it. I ended up getting the apk manager 4.8 from here, and it took seconds to run through that.
Here's the updated clock.
Looks very good

Hey, thanks!
After messing around with this for ages to get it resized and booted, I finally got there and figured I'd share it here for the rest of you to use if you wish.
I can't seem to get this in landscape but it still looks fine in portrait anyway
Download link - http://d-h.st/61Q
*NOTE* This isn't a flashable zip.
Instructions
*Download above file.
*Delete the current bootanimation (Can be found in system/customize/resource but may be different dependant on what ROM you're using)
*OPTIONAL - You can delete the boot up noise aswell if you wish.
*Put this in it's place.
*Reboot and it should be all good.
You may wanna do a backup first incase you don't like it and want to revert back.
EDIT - As the preview didn't want to show up, check out this video to see it in action.
I tried but I did not have the directory system/customize/resource but instead system/media/bootanimation/bootanimation.zip..
I renamed the file to bootanimation.zip and moved my old file out of the directory and replaced with new file. I still got my OPPO kernel splash but the bootani was blank. Dark screen and I could see my capacitive keys light up like it was going though the animation but there was nothing there.. just black on the screen :-/
Not sure what I did wrong

Try doing a backup and then deleting the current boot animation and try it again. It might be conflicting with the default animation.
I'll try at some point. I'm only stock rooted right now so my recovery is pretty limited but that'll change soon!

Bump.
Anyone other than me tried this yet?
Sent from my HTC One via XDA Premium
I installed it today. Looks pretty good, and very appropriate for the first custom boot animation to be installed on my phone.
Put this into landscape mode for you....
XDA Tv zip (rename to hTC_bootup_one or whatever your animation is named and replace the current file with this.
XDA Tv flashable (Flashable .zip for roms with hTC_bootup_one in /system/customize/resource)

Check your permissions are set to rw-r-r on the file. I also believe the bootanimation folder is unecessary as the bootanimation.zip should be in the /system/media folder.
Inspired by the sexy new GE bootsplash, I've made this HTC One branded version.
Simply flash via recovery as per normal.
Tested and works on ARHD, other ROMs may need to rename the bootanimation.zip to suit.
I also have an ARHD branded version here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43007646&postcount=29487

Check /system/customize/resource and see what the animation filenames are. The zip flashes bootanimation.zip, but not all roms use that filename. It's really better to extract the animation file and move it over manually, and set permissions. That way you can make sure the filenames are correct and backup your stock animation.
had to rename to hTC_bootup.one.zip on TRICKDROID

I wasn't sure how to extract and move it manually, so I checked that folder and found the files named htc_bootup_one.zip and htc_downanimation.zip. So I replaced both of them with the bootanimation.zip file. The bootup works perfectly, but the bootdown for some reason is at the very top of the screen instead of in the middle. Is there any way to fix this?
tnks that looks beatiful , but how is the quality in 5" 1080P
Revamped boot animation
Love the GE boot animation, but it was too short for my stock AT&T rom; i got the 'Android is starting' screen. So I did a quick touch up from the original animation the OP posted. Colors will loop around correctly. And a bonus for AT&T users, the startup music matches up nicely.
Depending on the ROM, you'll have to rename the zip to the correct name the ROM uses for boot animation.
For Samsung Galaxy Note 3
I've taken the liberty of creating the .qmg version of the cyan nexus boot animation since Samsung decided to pull a douche bag move by creating their own boot animation setup. It is very cumbersome, to say the least, to get custom boot animations without the standard "bootanimation.zip". The stock boot animation annoys me with the bright white Verizon splash in it.
Keep in mind these are based off the original so it will be stretched (and a tad grainy) to fit the Note 3's resolution. I've had to edit each and every individual frame in Photoshop to give it a 16:9 aspect ratio so that it doesn't become distorted and stretched out of it's proper parameters. It's not completely awful but it's not super crisp either. Now that I've figured out how to do it I'll be moving on to boot animations made for higher resolution phones so they look crisp. But this is the first time converting one for me.
1. First and foremost obviously you must be rooted and have root explorer.
2. Download and extract the zip in the attachments to your phone or push them through from the computer. It contains the 2 files needed for a bootanimation.
3. It is also always good practice to backup your phone in safestrap made possible by Hascode, MANY thanks for that.
4. Once you have everything, open root explorer and navigate to system/media and backup two files "bootsamsung.qmg" AND "bootsamsungloop.qmg".
5. After backing them up to another location on your internal or external storage, delete them from system/media and replace them with the 2 files that you extracted from the zip. Reboot and enjoy a non-stock Verizon-Free bootanimation.
Of course this is at your own risk, but it worked for me.

Now that I have CM7 on my Incredible, I'd like to potentially change the boot animation to the CM10 animation.
1. Am I correct that if I rename the bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.bak and then push the new animation to the system\media folder, it should work with animation and sound? Or do I also need to push a separate sound file as well?
2. I actually liked the stock boot animation. Can I open PG32IMG.zip, extract just the stock animation and return it to the phone like I described above? Or, once again, do I also need to push a separate sound file (for the drooooiiiiiiiiiiiid sound)?
Thanks in advance,
CheapDad
P.S. Bonus Question: The link for the NTSense theme is dead. Does anyone know where I can obtain a copy of the file? Google did not reveal any working results.
PPS Found this link, which may give me the stock boot animation. Would love for someone to confirm that as accurate.

Well, I just realized I never pasted the link in. Not very helpful.
In any event, I figured I couldn't goof this up too much. I found the file, copied it to /system/media since there is nothing in data. That didn't work, even with the correct file permissions. I entered recovery through CWM and installed zip from sdcard. (I placed another copy there.) That worked. Now I've got a CM10 boot animation for my CM7 phone!

Great news!
There's also splash screens that you can change. I've been rocking this one since 2011 :laugh:
