Dear all,
I have a strange issue with my redrawn BIOS boot animation for our devices – here is case:
After moving bootanimation.zip to /data/local I have nothing. Absolutely black screen at booting process.
Could someone help me to fix it, please?

Check permissions on the bootanimation.zip.
placing the file in /data/local should work.
I don't see the redraw issue you are talking about. Can you be more specific?

Sorry for my poor English - the problem is that after adding this archive to/data/local, nothing is happens.
After Acer splash screen I saw the black screen for 20 seconds and after that Android just starting.
Can anyone test that bootscreen on own device?
Make sure permissions on the bootanimation.zip is set to read/write for all.
When I get the black screen boot, that is usually the reason.

The problem is that you have zipped the files using compression, android can't read boot animation from compressed files. You have to select the method as "Store" in order to get it working.
Here's a DOS boot I made few days ago, it might be useful.
Hm, now it is working. Maybe you know any HOWTOs, where I will find information about best ways to make custom bootscreens?
Thanks for tip

First time poster here. I am working on a boot animation for the Droid X that features a clip from the 1986 animated movie of Optimus Prime blasting some Decepticons before his battle with Megatron.
Just have to fix a few things before I release it for download. I am trying to add audio but am having a problem. I have tried everything I can think of. Named the file boot.mp3 boot.ogg (changed format of course) I have placed the file in the /system/media/audio/ and /system/media/ directories.
I have edited the build.prop file. When UI do that i get like 1 second of audio after the animation is done and it brings up the lock screen.
I have looked everywhere online. there doesnt seem to be any easy solution or for that matter, any solution. I was hoping someone out there can help. I have a pretty cool boot animation I am working on.
I would like to show it to you.... but I guess my account has to be approved.

boot sound is found in /data/local directory as a mp3 file, try there
also to get ur boot sound working properly, you have to edit desc.txt in the bootanimation.zip file according to all your specification of your bootanimation, good luck on this.

I too am looking for a way to add a sound. You wouldnt happen to have a link to a post to look towards for editing the desc.txt to allow sounds would you?
After days of unsuccessful searching of the forums and also Google and multiple flashes between stock Rom and Th3ory's I have figured out how to add sound to his boot animation or your own custom boot animation in his rom.
NANDROID BACKUP FIRST!! YOU WILL BE EDITING A SYSTEM FILE USED DURING BOOT
1. copy default.xml from /system/customize/CID to /sdcard using Root Explorer or another app.
2. open VZW_bootanimation.zip to see what the name of the folder with your boot png's in it is named. Write that down. If using the boot animation that comes with GINGERTH3ORY the folder will be "part0"
3. open default.xml from your sdcard using a web editor. I use Android Web Editor Lite.
4. on line 120 will be the info for where the phone looks for the boot animation and boot audio. notice that boot animation is VZW_bootanimation.zip and audio is Verizon_Thunderbolt_3sec.mp3
5. on line 120 change audiostart="VZW" to audiostart="part0" or whatever the name of the folder is with your boot animation png's in it
6. save the xml and exit your editor
7. change the name of the original default.xml to default.xml.old
8. using Root Explorer paste the edited default.xml from /sdcard into /system/customize/CID
9. now paste whatever mp3 you want to play at boot into the /system/customize/resource folder and rename it to Verizon_Thunderbolt_3sec.mp3
10. reboot and finally enjoy the audio
If using a custom boot animation simply rename it to VZW_bootanimation.zip and paste it into the /system/customize/resource folder.
Hope this helps those that were having issues!
Kudos man. I can't test tonight, but will test it in the morning.
EDIT: Worked perfectly on Th3ory's v4.5.1 Great work!

Currently making a backup and then I'm going to try this... hope this works for me. Haha.
EDIT: Works great. Thanks so much. I missed my phone coming to life.
THANK YOU!!! This worked great! Now I can apply thunder/heart beat combo as the eye comes to life...lol
@ ILMF - Thanks for keeping a look out.

Excellent tutorial, gave me back my thunder.

Thanks for the thanks everyone.
I don't have the stock animation any more. I inverted the colors on th3ory's stock animation and added the first dozen or so png's (the one's that fade in to "Th3ory" and then fade out, not the eye ones) to the beginning of the white boot ani from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1024038
mp3 of "Bodies" by Drowning Pool plays while those zombie's get shot up and hit the floor.
Hi stoudtlr, I'm trying to do a custom boot animation. I zipped the files and named it VZW_bootanimation.zip but all I get is an empty screen after the white htc screen. Any ideas?
I'm on gingerth3ory and I took the boot animation zip from there and put in my own icons with the same file names and format, but nada.

When you zip the files make sure that compression is set to "store". That's the first thing that comes to mind if you are sure you don't have a typo in the name and you have them in the right location.

They Have come from the Marvel Avengers Sequence rar file and are bootsamsung.qmg, bootsamsungloop.qmg and shutdown.qmg
like I said the Shutdown works but i'll be stuffed if I can get the start up to change
For anyone who wants the new animation
Flashable zip - https://app.box.com/s/yqehpcrzbj8nwh56sw6x73wtnk58n718
Or of course extract it and manually install if you wish

No matter how many times I try this I cannot get it to flash.
I flash it in TWRP and it places it in system/media but the animation just shows the android logo fading from white to grey,
In fact, now I can't get ANY boot animation to flash. Same thing every time. Just the stock android boot animation.
Thoughts?
Use es file explorer and copy and paste the bootanimation.zip to system/media and check permissions of the file afterwards. Es should have automatically set them to rwx rwx rwx. Then reboot.

Copy manually to /system/media/ . The name MUST be bootanimation.zip
Manually set permissions to rw,r,r with ES Explorer or Brown Root Explorer.
If you check my signature, I have a collection listed that also contains this animation, in both manual and flashable configurations. Mine SHOULD work. If they don't, something is amiss.
I'm suspecting it's a permissions issue.

Still no luck. Tried exactly as you described but it just shows the android logo.
Both flashing and manually installing in system/media.
Any other ideas?

You're seeing the framework "bootanimation". It's the default, if nothing else is found.
Something is buggered. My normal recommendation would be to reflash the ROM, but....
With Android M just around the corner, and everything else apparently working on your phone.... would it hurt to leave it alone until the next update?
I'll just leave it.
Weird that it doesn't work. It did previously when I flashed the lollipop one.
Thanks for the help.
Hey there. I have little problem here. I decided to change boot animation. But there is a problem. After replacing bootanimation.zip in /system/media and opening it to be sure its the new one (and yes, every picture is from new animation), it still shows stock samsung animal. What am I doing wrong? Can you guys help me?

Samsung changed the boot animation format.
The boot animation is no longer in zip file format.
They are now QMG files and have been QMG files for almost two years.
...
QMG files are very difficult to work with.
Good luck.. Have a great day.
