Why do boot animation zip only work if the file name is bootanimation.zip versus something like bootanimation_droid_eye.zip. It makes it hard to tell which one your putting to use
Anyone ???

because thats what the system is looking for when booting (bootanimation.zip) so without modifying how the system works its best to just rename whatever bootanimation you dl'd to bootanimation.zip

I have tried to add numerous different boot animation on my phone. From my understanding you place them in the system/media folder and replace the existing bootanimation.zip with the custom animation and reboot. However I have tried with 4 different animations and only got a black screen. I tried to unizip them and rezip them using 7.z and making sure I zip it with "store" to no avail. Any help is greatly appreciated here. Also does it matter it Im using Supermanager to move and rename the zips, or does it strictly have to be thru adb. (Though I have tried both)
Im running gingerblur 1.3 with honey glow theme and boot animation.
Dont unzip it. Put the bootanimation.zip in the system/media. I use Root Explorer.

Oh. You asked how to install you should ask how to create, or how to zip.
I said in my original post that I have tried just placing it in the folder, and that I have tried to rezip them. My question was why it wasnt working, or what I was doing wrong.
is it possible to pull a boot animation from another Rom? if so how do i do it?
Yes you can do it. I won't get too in depth cause there are several threads explaining how, but copy whatever bootanimation you want to SD card first. Then depending on what ROM you have the bootanimation could either be in /data/local, /system/media, or in stock ROM i believe /system/customize/resource. Rename the stock bootanimation to bootanimation.zip.bak in case you want to revert then copy your new bootanimation to same folder and make sure the filename is bootanimation.zip and the permissions match what the previous one was which is (rw-r--r--). Reboot and your done. Same thing can be done with the downanimation also.
Thanks found an animation from another ROM I liked and wanted to put it on ROM I like using

Thank you! worked perfectly. other than verizons bootanimation is named VZW_bootanimation.zip. worked great!
I need help with restoring the stock Galaxy S2 boot animation.
This was what happened. I installed jrummy's Root Tools.
In my eagerness, I replaced the original boot animation without backing up!
Now when I want to undo the changes that has been done, many an online search suggested going to system/media and removing bootanimation.zip so that bootsamsung and bootsamsungloop can work their magic...
And here is where the problem is, bootanimation.zip is nowhere to be found!
I wonder if Root Tools had totally overwritten bootsamsung and bootsamsungloop.
All I want is to get back the original bootanimation sequence.
Can anyone help with this? TIA!!!
Here is the original bootanimation
Just unzip the attached zip file and copy and paste the attached bootsamsung.qmp and bootsamsungloop.qmg to system/media and you are done..
BTW is your poweron sound intact??
Thanks bro! The poweron sound is still present.
I have resolved the problem. Apparently, I have been going at it wrongly.
I had been using Astro as file manager but it didn't allow me to access data/local where bootanimations.zip was.
After I switched to RootExplorer and removed the offending file, voila!

So lets say I like the boot animation from one rom, can I install a specific boot animation from one rom and replace another rom's boot animation with the one i like? Btw, I am S-On
Yup.
Just copy the zip of the animation and replace the existing one.

I'm assuming its the bootanimation.zip? And how would i replace the existing one? just put the zip file on the sd card and flash it?
oh nvm i got it, theres a custom boot animation option in ROM control.
Well you would have to use an app like Root explorer to replace the current one with the new one.
If you are on a sense ROM it will be named something like vigorbootanimation.zip
Iv been trying to change the boot animation but doesn't seem like any methods work for me. I tried going to system/media but there's no bootanimation.zip there and the boot animation changer app doesn't work. My phone is also rooted

It's a locked file system by design. There's a module for magisk that allows you to change it.
