Hey, I was wondering how one would create my own boot animation, I have my own splash screen (link in my signature), but I was wondering if the boot animation was just a GIF that has been converted or what? Any help would be appreciated.

You can open up a boot animation zip and see its a series of png images in order in a folder. There is a file that then dictates the speed of the animation and can also run multiple folders of images so that the first folder is run once and then the second folder is looped, etc. I'm sure if you created the series of images someone could help with the rest.
Ill have to take a look into that, thank you

My friend has the HTC evo which is the same screen size as the DX, and I noticed he had a sick boot animation from the Virus rom. I had him send me the bootanimation.zip file.
Would this work if I replace my current bootanimation with it?
I am just worried about whether or not it will boot. I know how to do everything else
Give it a try. Your phone will still boot if it doesn't work.

Yea all that will happen if it doesnt work is ull have a black screen while it boots up instead of an animation... Even if it wasnt sized right as long as u put it in data/local in its zipped form it should work

/data/local? In all of my experiences it has only worked in /system/media, which is where my current one is and there is nothing in /data/local. I will try both I guess.
And yes I will post the file here, just after I test it
Well apparently data/local is the default for any rom... (it would override system/media if there was somthing there.) Let us know how it works for you.

I just tried it, and it worked perfectly. I copied the file into /system/media where my old bootanimation.zip was, and rebooted, and it worked. There was no boot animation in /data/local, and when I put it there in the past, it didn't work, so I did not try it in there.
I have attached the file with my post if anyone else would like to try it out.
Hmmmm..... Never mind my computer is not allowing me to upload the file, I will do it in an hour or two with my phone.

Here it is... Credit goes to the creator of virusROM - XxXViRuSXxX (or whoever created the boot animation for his ROM).
Rename to bootanimation.zip and copy to /data/local/ (for me it did not work in /system/media/ where I usually put it, but try it in either one).
virusROM bootanimation.zip
Thanks for posting. Sorry everybody, my computer was being gay last night.
Please nobody try to flash this in CWM, it will not work

Hi guys I extracted the CyanogenMod boot animation from the ROM itself, and my oh my it looks wonderful! I attached it below. To install, simply after downloading it and placing it in a comfortable location, copy it, go to system>media, and paste it there It should overwrite your current boot animation and replace it but if it does not, simply just paste the CM9 boot animation there and delete the old one I tested it only on my Samsung Galaxy S2. Works perfect. Enjoy! And remember this is made by the CM9 team not me, so give them the credit. I'm only sharing their awesome boot animation to the community and not stealing their work
Edit: OH YES I recommend that you guys use Root Explorer to copy and paste the boot animation! Cause that what I used But if you have any other alternatives that you think might be better or you are more comfortable with, please share it or use it at your own risk
you might wanna see what ive done see in my signiture at the buttom click > bootanimation< ull gonna like it 100% sure

Hi!
I changed the boot animation of my Galaxy S i9000 using the app "Boot Animations * root" from the Play Store.
I took a very cool one but its getting really nasty after a while and I want to rechange it to the default animation but don't know how . Already tried what you wrote: place the .zip in the media folder and I deinstalled the app because I didn't know where to find the boot animations. Then I restardet my phone but it still didn't change the boot animation.
sry for using the word 'boot animation' that often
Hope you can help me

Try looking in /data/local
If there's a bootanimation.zip in there it'll override the one in /system/media (which is kinda useful for keeping animations across upgrades when no data wipe is involved.)

pull it out of a stock or aosp rom, then copy/paste it into /data/local/ or /system/media/. its easier than putting together a zip to flash.
Here you go http://db.tt/FZXC70fK. Note I make no guarantees as to how long the link will be available as I tend to delete files from Dropbox after some time.
It is really easy to create your own zip files. All you need is ES File Explorer or Solid Explorer to extract and pack zip files. And use ZipSigner to sign the zip file. It's a useful skill to learn.

Here ya go, drop in /system/media
For the record almost any boot animation changer on the market will work with The rooted nexus..
I have one very serious.. well maybe not serious just more of WHY does the boot animation matter so much to people.. I never reboot my tablet enough to really care.
anyone know???
I am trying to change the boot animation on my S4 but it seems that Samsung devices use a different file for the boot animation rather than bootanimation.zip. Can anybody help me changing it to Jellybean's standard booting animation?

whit a root explorer go to system/media changMount as R/W and paste there a bootanimation.zip file reboot and done.. ( phone will read the zip file first when it boot ).
Or go Here and flash it through recovery
Doesn't work. It seem that this phone (or ROM) is reading from a "bootsamsung.qmg". I don't know this format so better ask first before doing anything.

Check in the themes&apps section, there was a thread dedicated to that.
Also, if you are interest in making .qmg files, you are free to make one with Samsung Themer (or something, I forgot the name xD)
