Can anyone suggest a good link to find a veriety of bootanimation zip files? Thank you!
(btw, before I get flamed for not searching... I did use the search function on the xda mobile app... It is practically useless)

also, in a few hours (whenever the pull request goes through) i should have a section up in ROM Manager with custom bootanimations.
Would that come through as an update on the market? Or will we have to update rom manager ourselves?

Found the Galaxy S bootanimation i was looking for! Thanks.
But, when i put it in the \system\media folder, and reboot, all i get is a black screen? Any ideas as to why? does it need to be in a different folder? (and yes i renamed the file to bootanimation.zip)

As long as the kernel you've got installed supports bootanimation.zip files it should work. However, I placed my zip in the /data/local folder. Either should work though, I think.

Using Macnut R13 w/ JK6 modem. Was working fine with his bootanimation... but with mine even in the data/local folder, all iget is a black screen? any other ideas?
did you edit the desc.txt file? and how did you zip the file? using store?
also if you can upload the bootanimation.zip I can look at it and see if it works.

No i didnt edit anything.
Here is the file attached, that i renamed to bootanimation.zip on my phone.
Doesn't work. I had the same issue and yes I know how to change bootanimation.zip because I've just done it three times prior to trying this file.
Great list, thank you.
Would you happen to know if there's any way to preview these before use?
Also, I've never changed my boot animation before, I've read elsewhere in this thread that you have to have a kernel that supports it.
I'm currently running 2.1 Vibrant stock, only thing I've done is rooted it so I could have access to things I wanted like tethering, screenshots, etc.
Would you happen to know if I can change the boot animation through Clockwork Rom Manager the way my phone is right now?
I'm running Axura 2.1, does anyone know if I'm able to change the boot animation on this? I've tried it already using root explorer to transfer the file but when I do it gives me an error that says the file is only read only.
Is it the ROM or something I need to do to transfer the file properly?

Right on, glad it worked man.
So are you gonna share or what?

Moving with root explorer did the trick, wicked wallpaper

For future reference, this probably belongs in themes and apps.
Anyways, you can probably pull it from the system dump. Is there one for somewhere?
Here it is. Havent tested on a Fascinate yet though. http://www.droid-life.com/2011/01/10/download-droid-thunderbolt-boot-animation-for-droid-x-and-2/
Ok installed and works. Well copied the bootanimation.zip over anyways. Didnt cwm install it.
Thanks. When you installed the bootanimation.zip, how did you do it? Better yet, where did you place it?

You put it in system/media. Should replace the one that is already there. Check your system folder and put it wherever your current one is. You'll need to rename it bootanimation.zip.
Thanks!!!!

Sure thing. Post your results if you would. And also which ROM you're currenlty running?
I tried Rom SC2.6, Stock Eb01 Deodexed, and SC 2.7.1. All I get is a blank screen during boot up.
Edit: n00b mistake....I got it to work now! Works on all three roms I mentioned above.
Can anyone post the download for the animation and pretty much how to make it my boot animation? I'm alright with reflashing a rom, currently on Bionix 1.3.1 by Team Whiskey.
Thanks!
Don't expect others to just give you things.
Just so you learn...
Download one of the NERO roms ( i'm guessing nero is where this boot animation is )
Then extract it on your computer
then go to system/media on the files
take out
bootanimation.zip
and put that on your SD CARD on phone
now replace the bootanimation.zip from the nero to w/e you want.
Just make sure your rom supports boot animations some don't.
PM me if you have trouble following his steps.
You will have to use Root Explorer from the market to move the bootanimation.zip file from your sd card to the system/media folder.

Correct, but Root Explorer is paid only.
Use ASTRO if you want a free and same-as-root-explorer-way i use root explorer, tbh it looks and is simpler.
Scratch that last post. I just figured it out.

Here's a little boot animation I threw together from the Movie Alien's Teaser Trailer.
I installed using absolute system root tools.
using root explorer rename attached alien.zip to bootanimation.zip and move it to /system/media folder.

Note quite sure how to make a flashable .zip, so if anyone has any info on how to do that, I would appreciate it.

No package manager. You just have to zip/unzip correctly including update binary and script. If you unzip the one I uploaded you will see the folder structure. If you open the update script with notepad, you will see how that works.
The CWM zips are different for Froyo and Gingerbread, and that is why I tend to name them with 2.3.4 in there.
It's really straight forward. You can pretty much figure them out just by unzipping and analyzing one. I included the audio folder in this zip even though there is no audio, but if you wanted to add audio you would modify desc.txt appropriately, and drop the audio file into system/media/audio/notifications before zipping again.
If you download a couple of animations from here -----> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15529644&postcount=1, you can unzip them and examine the structure. They are almost identical.

The instructions in the post indicated here for update scripts will not work on Gingerbread, (2.3.4/4.5.91). This works with Froyo.
Also, the audio location changed from /system/media to /system/media/audio/notifications with Gingerbread.
wow i flashed this its cool can i make just one request that you take a look at the alienv3 and can u make the text in this animation like a neon green color it will go perfict with that rom and theme thank you??!!
beemed up useing an alienv3 s-off, bootloader unlocked!! /overclocked /faux123(thanks)for all the great development on these awsome devises!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll take a look, the animation is direct from clips from the original trailer, so I don't know how good edits will turn out...

Simply replace and set permissions.

unzipped the file myself and replaced bootanimation.zip in /system/media/ and it worked flawlessly (changed permissions to rw-r--r--)
good job nottach!

I hate to be a noob, but I just want to be safe. Can you change boot animations on stock rooted or do you need to have a custom rom flashed. Is it really as easy as copy and pasting. Along with renaming your old animation.zip

Yup, it's that easy. This was one of the first things I tried after rooting. Just make sure the file permission are set correctly on the new bootanimation.zip folder or you will get a default "android" bootanimation.

Do you still have the captivate? If so I may be able to fix it for you and if I can't I know Josh from mobiletechreviews.com probably can. I would try for the cost of shipping with no guarantees, Josh charges a reasonable fee but it would be worth it to have it working for a backup. Have you tried using a jig on it to get into download mode?
You can pm me and hopefully if you still have it we can get it running for you again.

Sorry I'm a little confused on how to get this working. I'm on CM7. Downloaded it. Went to root explorer and cord and pasted it to system/media and set permission but when I rebooted it was standard CM7 boot up. Did I need to extract the zip to media folder? Sorry for the confusion never messed with boot img before
Edit. Ok I tried extracting and I got a folder named bootanimation and I fixed permissions on that one also and rebooted but no luck :-\
