I'm running synergy rom 7/21 nightly and I'm not sure on how to install a boot animation can someone help?

Take the bootanimation.zip file of the animation you want and place it in /system/media/
Can you point us to some nice boot screens!
If you have Root Explorer then this is one way of doing it:

(it includes having to rename the .zip)
I have Cherrykang installed and so far I am pleased with the performance. But I really like the boot screen animation.
I realize though that with the changes that are most likely coming with Touchpad Android development and me being a flahoholic, I won't be on Cherrykang for too long.
How can I keep the boot animation no matter what rom I flash. In root explorer how can I find it and use it for other roms?
Thanks

The boot animation will be under /system/media as a zip file.

Found it! OK now if.....when I flash another rom I'll copy and paste this one.
Is it possible to add your own boot sounds by renaming any audio "htc_boot.mp3" and placing it in this folder "system/customize/resource" via Root explorer?
Thanks
I think you can. But you also have to change permissions on the file to rw-r-r ... I think. Theres as good how to for making your own boot animations in the themes and apps section by racinwarrior...check it out.

Boot animations must be placed in /system/media and the file must be named bootanimation.zip
Just copy/paste the bootanimation.zip to /system/media using ES File Explorer (make sure Root Explorer is enabled).

What boot animation are you getting on startup? Make sure you delete the existing one(if there is one).

I rename the original to OGbootanimation.zip then I copy the new on into the folder. That way I can delete the experimental file and name the original back if the experimental file won't work. It saves a few steps.
Make sure you're moving the zip file and don't extract it or use CWM on it.
Hm, is it boot animation.zip or sanim.zip?
Have you tried searching the Seraphim thread?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I927 using xda premium
Like others have said, you just need to rename the zip to bootanimation.zip and place it in your system/media folder using ES File Explorer (what I use) or Root Explorer. Then reboot and wallah.
It's never not worked for me. I'm currently running Unofficial CM9, and I replaced the Cyanogen boot with the Galaxy Nexus ICS boot animation, to keep Android tasting Vanilla...
Make sure the permissions are rw-r--r--
it whont worck by anyway man i deleted the samsung boot animation from the seraphim rom and tryed all the methods you guys sayd and still nothing now im only geting the original samsung boot sound

make sure u have the correct kernal that allows bootanimation, another is to unzip it and rezip as store, there should not be any compression with a bootanimation.zip., if u want to upload it, i will test it.
i have an 3.0.8-perf-i717uclc5-cl281649 kernel and how can i upload the bootanimation.zip so you can test it??

Here. This recovery flashable zip can be used for multi purpose. In this instance It's packaged with the Droid DNA boot animations including the HTC bootdown. If you want to remove the HTC bootdown then you can simply "open" the zip I have provided (open not extract) by using 7zip which is free to download while you're inside the zip, navigate to system/customize/resource and you will see both animations in there. Delete downanimation.zip if all you want is the Droid bootanimation.
From here if you do get bored of the Droid animation then you could put any other compatible bootanimation.zip and it will change it as long as you don't change the spelling. It has to be bootanimation.zip you can also add any apk file (apps) you have by navigating to system/app placing the apk file in this loacation. Saves a lot of time if you don't want to stuff around with a root explorer. Close the zip after you're done and there you have it.

Nevermind, I got it from a system dump. Here you go OP drop these in the SYSTEM->CUSTOMIZE->RESOURCE folder and change permissions
You will have to rename the txt to mp3 before you move it on the device

I still am not getting sound on my Droid DNA with the files. Is there anything we have to do special with the sound file other than change it to mp3 before putting it in the same folder as the bootanimation?

Glad u got that corrected and no on the sound cuz that's the one and only issue I still have, I've renamed it android_audio.mp3 also android_boot.mp3 and even what it's actually named under scripts using Root Explorer (htc_boot.mp3) with no luck plus have been all over this forum asking the same question about sound with no conclusive reasoning?:thumbdown: sorry

I think it's going to depend on which ROM you're running as to what sound file is needed. For Viper ROM it is the system/customize/resource/htc_boot.mp3. I would suggest looking at the Permissions of the mp3 file. start out setting them to rw- r-- r--.
Let me know if this works out for you. I've thought about doing some boot ani's with sound, but haven't had time to try yet.

Actually it looks like it may have more to do with the naming of the folders within the boot animation. I'm downloading Virtuous ROM now to take a look at how their boot animation is setup.
If you have an XML Editor you can look in /system/customize/CID/default.xml. about 3/4 of the way through the file there is a section that lists which files are used for boot up and boot down.
For instance here is what it says in the default.xml from the stock rooted dna rom:
-<BootConfiguration><BootAnimation audiostart="vzw" audio="/system/customize/resource/Droid_DLX_Eye_Animation_Sound_Design_9.21.12.mp3" animation="/system/customize/resource/vzw_bootup.zip"/></BootConfiguration>-<ShutdownConfiguration><ShutdownAnimation fps="10" image="" image_png="/system/customize/resource/hTC_downanimation.zip"/></ShutdownConfiguration>
Notice the audiostart="vzw". If you look in the desc.txt file within the stock boot animation file it looks like this:
1080 1920 30
p 1 15 android
p 1 30 vzw
Here is a quick description of each row in the desc.txt file:
1080 1920 30 >> 1080x1920 Resolution, 30 Frames p/Sec as Default
p 1 15 android >> 1st part uses the images in the android folder and repeats them 1 time, then pauses for 15 seconds
p 1 30 vzw >> 2nd part uses the images in the vzw folder and repeats them 1 time, then pauses for 30 seconds. The folder vzw also triggers the boot animation sound as noted in the default.xml snippet above.
I hope this helps.

In Viper ROM it lists the audio file, but there is no audiostart tag, so I wonder if it just starts playing audio when the boot animation begins
Here is the default.xml snippet from Viper ROM:
-<BootConfiguration><BootAnimation audio="/system/customize/resource/htc_boot.mp3" animation="/system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip"/></BootConfiguration>-<ShutdownConfiguration><ShutdownAnimation fps="10" image="" image_png="/system/customize/resource/downanimation.zip"/></ShutdownConfiguration>
