Just wondering, i pushed a bootanimation.zip to /system/media/ but when the phone boots up, just same old animation.
Also noticed that there is a bootanimation.zip folder in /system/customize/resource/, would this not be the place to put the bootanimation.zip?
Thanks

I always use root explorer to push the bootanimation and audio file...
Using the computer boot up animation at the moment..
The one that my phone uses is in /system/customize/resource/, but no matter what I try I cant get the /system/ folder to be rw ?
I am per-rooted, S-OFF, reinstall Root Explorer etc. Nothing seems to work for me

There are some command line tools you can use to mount and make it read and write instead of rea only, i dont know them though

Normally you will need to navigate to /system in Root Explorer, then click the 'Mount R/W' button at top right to mount the system partition as read / write, after which root explorer will be able to write new files to it.
Your boot animation might be in a different folder. Try data/local or like you said system/customize/resource

I know where it is, ive seen it in system/customize/resource but ive read guides of people telling me to put it in system/media which didnt work unless im doing something wrong.
Edit: Also i dont see a bootanimation.zip in data/local
I had the same problem to switch to r-w... You need to use the latest version of root explorer...go download the latest version...

I am looking to back up my default bootanimation, but I can't find it in /data/local.
Can I still push it to /data/local without worry?

Default bootanimation is in /system/media. If there is a bootanimation in /data/local, it gets displayed first. If there are no bootanimation zip files in both The folders, it displays the default android logo animation.

In /data/local, all I see is a folder called tmp;
In /system/media, all there is is a folder called audio;
I don't see any bootanimation.zip at all :/
I'm running Cronos 1.2.0, so I know it isn't the stock Android logo animation.

Cronos does not have a bootanimation.zip file. Just put the bootanimation file to data/local and reboot.
The cronos bootanimation logo is inside the framework-res.apk file, in the assets/images folder.

Thanks! That worked for me. I imagine if I delete bootanimation.zip, it'll revert to the default Cronos boot animation?

Hi sileshn,
Moto APAC leak-25*1 from you can use this animation? If can, how?

I tried doing the above instruction but cant able to succeed. No boot animation is playing after the brand logo and my phone’s touch is not working…do anyone face this error?
help me out of this….
regards
what about a red version of it instead of a violet / pink one?
but very nice work!
Thx, worked great with liquid ROM.
Rename it bootanimation.zip push with root explorer to system/media, and change permissions to 2-1-1
That's what I did. U should .bak any other bootanimations in media folder. Hope this helps

How do I flash my bootanimation.zip file through terminal emulator?
Just use root explorer or any other file manager with root rights and copy it. No need to flash.

What of I want to revert? How would I do that through terminal emulator?
what rom are you using? Depending on the ROM, you navigate to where it is with a file explorer, rename the stock to whatever, copy the animation .zip that you want to the same folder (renaming it what the stock was, exactly) and you're done.
Royal Ginger 1.5
So I download the stock boot animation and put the files into the bootanimation.zip file I already have?
I'm assuming you've downloaded a zip file from somewhere. Do not unzip it, just rename it to "bootanimation.zip" and place it in the directory that holds the original bootanimation.zip file. You can always make a backup of the original first.
This may depend on the rom, but usually you can put your new bootanimation.zip file in the /data/local/ directory, and the phone will use that without you having to disturb the original.

I'm trying to change my boot animation also. I changed the zipped file to bootanimation.zip. How do I access System/media ? When I mount, it just opens the sd drive on my computer.

You need to be rooted and you need to do it with your device with some kind of file manager like root explorer.

Once ur rooted u could just go into recovery and install the zip manually that's usually how I do it or download the bootloader changer app either requires root

wtf, i can't change the bootanimation... whats wrong?
I used the OTA app to chance the bootanimation, nothing...
I've tried to replace the bootanimation in system/media .. nothing still the "S"
Then I copied the bootanimation.zip into date/local ... nothing
I've deleted the bootanimation in system/media ... STILL the S..
Where is the bootanimation?? Ive installed SpeedMod kernel K2-21 ..
With supercore, I had no problems.
Please help

What from you using and what animation you trying to add?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
I just dont understand what you mean with: "What from you using"
I tried the SGS2 Bios from OTA app. Before flashing Speedmodkernel, it worked great.
Then I tried to replace the Bootanimation with any other.. I found that thread:
Bootanimation
I downdloaded bootanimation_v2.zip and renamed it into bootanimation.zip, then replaced it like i said in the post before..

My bad, I meant to type rom. Auto correct is killing me. Anyways, depending on the rom you're in, you will have to name the boot animation differently and place it in a specific place also depending on the rom.
If the rom you're in is aosp, then you're naming it right but it will go in system/media.
For sense roms, you will have to rename the boot animation to htc_bootanimation.zip and place it in system/customize/resource.
EDIT: I actually downloaded the boot animation myself, and I think I found the reason probably why is not working. In the desc.txt file, the screen res is wrong for our device. That boot animations res is 480x115, our supposed to be 480x800.
So do this,
Extract the bootanimation.zip you downloaded
Open and edit the desc.txt file with your file managers text editor
Change the res from 480x115 to 480x800 save and exit
Zip back the file, name it correctly, fix permissions and move it to its correctsponding place and reboot. See if that works.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
Thanks for your help. But I think this is the SpeedMod Kernel blocking everything...
I tried that bootanimation which I attached just now. The desc.txt file is correct, placed in system/media but it doesn't work.
I am on darkys HD rom. Without the Speedmodkernel everything is fine. to change my THEME I had to flash the supercore kernel and then back to SpeedMod, because when I try it with the Speedmod kernel, nothing happens. Just like the bootanimation, when I try it zu replace and reboot, nothing happens xD
It has to be the Speedmod Kernel. What else?
Hello, does anyone know where to find MIUI Multilingual's bootanimation and bootaudio, and the .xml file so i can edit them?
In system/media there is bootanimation.zip and bootaudio.mp3. If you want to edit the bootanimation look at desc.txt.
Thank you, however it seems that my phone still uses the IDEOS logo as bootanimation, and that one is located in "pink-screen" mode, is it okay to delete it?
You mean the splashscreen? I believe that is located in the kernel, and not easy to edit.

Well, when i boot, it doesn't use the MIUI bootanimation, it still uses stock Ideos animation, and i think that one is located in pinkscreen-mode.
Try placing the bootanimation.zip in /data/local on your phone with root explorer. Then reboot, it should work

Hmm, it didn't work, and i even tried replacing the bootanimation.zip in cust/Dialect/SE/media (which is where i go when i go into pinkscreen-mode) with the MIUI one, still nothing.
Sorry, I see no reason why it won't work.. You can try to delete the whole cust folder (in pink screen), it that don't work preform a full wipe.
What ROM version are you talking about? If latest, then you should pay more attention to rom changelog. retart said there, that he turned off bootanimation for faster boot.

I found the debug.hw.bootanimation set to 1, changed it to 0, and BAM!

Hey anyone know of an awesome looking jarvis boot animation, ive got my phne set up like jarvis and this is the last step im issing the one i saw for the s4 wasnt as nice as i hoped. there is a nice one for S3 but does anyoine know of one i missed anuwhere
Why don't you try and make one yourself. They're not that hard, especially if you can find the animation you like. Just download a bootanimation.zip, extract it and see what's inside. It'll be pretty self explanatory what you need to do. If you have questions I can help you.
Edit, if you have a link to the s3 one you like let me know. I'll download and let you know what you need to get it to work on the s4.

Instructions for manual installation :
(Take a backup , just in case , not needed actually, ive tested all files) (Make sure you have enabled custom bootanimations , IF not go here - Enable Custom Bootanimations Hit thanks to the dev there)
1.Download manual installation files, rename file to bootanimation.zip
2.Copy files to phone.
3.Backup your current bootanimation from system/media folder and your Poweron.ogg file from system/audio/ui using Root Explorer or other root file managers ,
4.Copy the bootanimation.zip to /system/media folder and Poweron.ogg file to system/audio/ui folder , Mount R/W (make it writable) , overwrite the files, set permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot and Enjoy !
5.Dont forget to hit the thanks button !

Do you have a file manger like root explorer ot anything? You'll need to change the permissions to rw-r-r of the zip file you put in /system/media
Just put the *.ogg file in, not sure the sound will work or not on the s4
Edit, also make sure the file you copied to /system/media is re-named bootanimation.zip
