[Q] need help please

hi everyone im new to the forum and wanted to say my god i love this forum ,all you guys help each other and im glad to be part of this forum .=) i have the htc evo 4g and its rooted .i just flashed miui rom and love it ,however,i wanted to know how i can load the call of duty bootanimation to this rom if possible .and i have 3 roms backed up that are all 3 the same how can i delete 2 of them thanks

1. Download the animation, re-name it to bootanimation
2. Place it on the root of your sd card, using a root file explorer [es file explorer, root explorer, ect] move it to /system/media and overwrite the existing one
3. Use a file manager to explore your sd card. You'll see a folder called clockwork if on cwm recovery, or nandroid if on amon ra. Open then folder and you'll see all your backups. Simply delete the ones you don't want

i have the miui rom .i have done this before and still wont work .can i delete everything i see with bootanimation? and just download a link with bootanimation and put it on my sd card ? and i figured out how to delete the back ups i did not want anymore thanks a bunch .i am using nandroid back up

Check for the /data/local folder for the bootanimation.zip [ I haven't used MIUI, but its either in /system/media or /data/local]

i went to date /local/using root explorer and get 3 folders one folder says parent folder second folder says download third folder says tmp now i go to systems and i see a folder called bootanimation.zip is that the folder im doing it as i type to you

You're in /system/media? What is the path exactly?

root eplorere its mounted as r/o i go to system and i see bootanimation .zip and i scroll down to media and if i open media i see audio bootanimation than bootanimation.zip than cod-bootanimation-aosp which is the bootanimation i want on my evo than gadget than lockscreen and so on

You need to delete the original bootanimation.zip, then rename cod-bootanimation-aosp to bootanimation [should still be .zip], reboot, and you should be good.

the cod bootanimation-aosp does not say zip next to it .does that mean its not zipped ? how do i know the bootanimation.zip is the original one ?

looking at the bootanimation folders i have about 3 folders with the name bootanimation if i long press the folder it saids i can zip the folder

Also make sure you're mounted as r/w. Long press it and hit rename, it should still be .zip, just doesn't show on the preview. Then do what I said previously.

i just switched it to r/w and i can only find the bootanimation file under s/d card and when i open the folder this is what it shows five files 1 file is parent folder 2 folder DS-STORE THIRD FILE ANDROID FOURTH FILE BOOTANIMATION.ZIP FIFTH FILE DESC.TXT WHEN I CLICK ON FOURTH FILE WHICH IS BOOTANIMATION.ZIP I GET THIS PARENT FOLDER TWO DS-STORE FOLDERS THAT HAVE A LITTLE YELLOW STAR ON THEM .NEXT FOLDER META-NF AND SYSTEM HOW CAN I START THE PROCESS FROM SCRATCH

I was following some guy called zeromax on youtube .i did what he said to do and still not worked

Well you saw all those folders because you opened the bootanimation.zip zip, which you don't need to.
1. from the sd card, copy the renamed cod bootanimation, that has been renamed to bootanimation.zip
2. go to /system/media, delete the bootanimation.zip in there
3. paste your bootanimation.zip in its place, done.

My post 2 above is the 'restart' from the beginning.

On MIUI you apply boot animations through the Theme Manager. You can either pm me a link to the animation and I'll make you a mtz to apply through theme manager, or you can follow the normal directions. If you do it the same way you would do it on any other rom, you have to go into theme manager afterwards and reapply the default animation. You would do so by going to customize at the bottom of the main screen, then choose boot animation and select the default one. You may need to choose another before you're given the option to apply the default. If you don't have one then youcan download one from the theme manager.
MIUI is different from other roms in many ways, but theming is much easier as well. If you ever need help getting certain things working on MIUI, feel free to pm me. I've been running it for over six months and know it better than I know stock Android or Sense.
Edit: You can also place the boot animation in /data/system/theme/boots, name it bootanimation.zip, set permissions to rw-r--r--, and reboot. Applying through theme manager is easiest if you're not familiar with modifying system files. As I already mentioned, I'd be happy to make an mtz for you.

You can add the boot sound through the Theme Manager. If you have the mp3, open theme manager. Select customize at the bottom, select boot sound, then choose the music app to find the sound.
I replied to your pm, do you still need me to make the theme? It's best to have the theme on hand. It'll take less than 15 minutes for me to make it, so if you want it just respond to my pm. I get notification that way, I might forget to check the thread.

[Q] How to put new bootanim or/and downanim?

I know it's a stupid question :silly:
but how to put boot/down animations on HTC One X with Jelly Bean ARHD v21.0 installed?
i just don't know the directory AND the steps to do it..
here's the bootanim i want to use:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737369
also, is it possible to use the same animation for downanim too?
please kindly help this little noob ._.

The bootanimation and downanimation path differs from ROM to rom.. so if it's a flashable zip, Make sure the path is set right! Usually it's under /system/media
If it's not a flashable zip, then mount the system as R/W and put the bootanimation.zip file in the respective path and change permissions to rw-r--r-- and then reboot!
If you ask ROM related things in the ROM thread, you will get a fast and accurate reply!
PS: There's a chance that you might not be able to boot into OS if something goes wrong, so it's better you make a nandroid backup before doing anything!

You need to be rooted... and use Root Explorer and navigate to that path... Rename the old bootanimation.zip to something else and follow the steps above...

So i've installed Root Browser app from Google Play..
and i check around the internet to see tips for installing new boot animations
Found this:
"Installation using Root Explorer or any File Explorer:
* Change r/o to r/w (FileSystem as writable)
* Copy the boot & downanimation.zip to /system/customize/resource (or the directory where original files is)
* Change animation permisions to rw-,r--,r--
* Reboot and Enjoy"
i don't get how to change the file system to writable or to change animation permissions
is there someone that would like to explain to me how? thanks!

DC-MARVEL Bootanimation.zip [720p ]

British graphic designer Christian Tailor created this awesome animation of stylized Marvel and DC Comics heroes and villains, and now you can use it as the boot animation on your Android device.
It was later turned into default start up animation by Brian Roberts
HTML:
https://plus.google.com/+BrianRoberts
and later into a flashable zip by Ronald Valdes
HTML:
https://plus.google.com/+RonaldValdes
.
Now all I did was I took Christian Tailor's bootanimation which was 1080p and converted it into 720p which will fit perfectly on S3 or any 720p devices.
Here is the link to download,
MEGA LINK

DROPBOX LINK
HTML:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/bm6xfg1doitjslv/dcmarvel720pbootanimation.zip
Install Instructions:
1. Your device need to be rooted. It won't work if your device is not rooted. How to root? Please check online. I hope samsung device users have custom rom with root and not stock rom with root. I have no idea how it works in other brand android devices, so proceed only if it is similar process as you find below.
2. This is not a flashable file, so you have to copy it into your system/media .
3. Use X-plore, make sure you have root access. To get root access, press configuration. Under Root access, select superuser + mount writable. I only know how to do this in xplore, i don't know how it works in other apps. So sorry. I will let you know how it works in other apps.
4. Now go to root/system/media and you will find bootanimation.zip . Copy it to your internal/external memory.
5. Delete the bootanimation.zip from system/media.
6. Now copy the dcmarvel720pbootanimation.zip to system/media and rename it to bootanimation.zip .
7. Now reboot your device.
8. Now Enjoy.
[By the way, I really don't know if I was allowed to post this or not. If I was not allowed, please comment here, and also I am sorry, I will remove it as soon as possible. If I am allowed then thank you. Please support the original people who did it.]

Hi. Good job bro. But, Can you tell how to install this? I tried via recovery and it failed... Tried putting in system/media and rebooted but the previous boot animation is still showing. I renamed the old bootanimation.zip first before trying.
Thanks

In system/media, remove the previous boot animation. Either delete it or just copy it to your internal memory, but you will have to delete it in your system/media. Now save the dc-marvel bootanimation zip to system/media and rename it to bootanimation.zip
Now try rebooting. Hope it worked.

Update : was using Cm11 theme before and this seemed to be the cause.restored the theme to default and placed the boot animation to system/media and it worked like a charm.
Thank you again

Hmmm, when I replace the original bootanimation.zip with the Superhero one and restart, I only get flashing "android" text in the middle of the screen, it's animated so something is happening... but no heroes. Curious. Any ideas?
Thanks for bringing this to the forums btw and resizing it
EDIT: Found out why, I needed to change the permissions to rw-r-r

It did yes, I used ES file explorer (make it have root permissions) and if you go to more > properties permissions > change and set it to rw-r-r, the bootanimation then works

Haha, it's awesome! The size is a bit big, but that's not a problem. Thanks! :victory:

are you rooted? also are you using a custom rom?
it only works if you use both root and a custom rom,
as said in the instructions, make sure you have given superuser mount writable permissiom. Either delete the bootanimation.zip from you system/media or copy the bootanimation.zip to your internal memory or external memory if available.
now copy paste the dcmarvelbootanimation.zip to system/media and rename it to bootanimation [make sure it is still in zip format which means it is .zip]
now try rebooting.

[Boot Animation] [TW] [SAMSUNG] Change Boot Animation and Sound

Hi, Many of you curious about changing boot animation in samsung mobile. You know samsung uses qmg like boot animations. So it is complex to create own boot animation than creating zip boot animation.In this tutorial I have replaced the qmg files with zip boot animations.
I have tested on my Samsung Galaxy Core Prime. It should work on any Samsung Kitkat Variants mobile. Please test and report here.
Please make a NANDROID BACKUP before modifying the system files
For that just download the files from here and place it right folder and set the PERMISSIONS.
1. Place this file in system/bin folder and set the permission -rwxr-xr-x (See other files permissions system/bin folder)
Please note it disables qmg boot animations and enable zip boot animations.
[[ https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3-NCstEO255cVM1b0xpejd3Nmc/view?usp=docslist_api ]]
2. Download the bootanimation.zip and place it system/media folder and set the permission -rw-r--r-- (see other files permissions in system/media folder)
[[ https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3-NCstEO255VktzQU9MTGlSRVU/view?usp=docslist_api ]]
Or you can download any custom zip boot animations. Just google and download and place them in right place
3. To change boot sound just create a ogg file naming PowerOn.ogg (don't much than 20s) and place it in system/media/audio/ui and set permissions -rw-r--r-- (see other files' permission in the same folder)
To disable boot sound rename the PowerOn.ogg file as you wish like PowerOn.ogg.bak
Here the screen shots for the permissions

Pls note. In samsung zip animations are not supported. They are placed in system/media in the name of samsungboot.qmg blah blah. If you want to replaced the qmg bootanimation with zip bootanimation you have to read the whole the thread pls. Again. I am busy in studies now. So I can not make a video for you. Anyway In this thread just change your bootanimation with custom zip animation.
If you want to change bootanimation (qmg format) (mine trick is zip bootanimation on samsung device which is easy to create). Follow this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2611682
Hope u understand qmg & zip like bootanimations
