I've been googling the hell out of this and can't find a solution. I have the bootanimation.zip that I want, but I can't find a way to move it into system/media. I tried root explorer and that didn't work.
are you using a kernel that supports bootanimation.zip?
try rom manager,download rom and sonfskywalker3

I'm not sure. I'm kind of a noob at all of this. I flashed Axura 2.0.6 to my Vibrant today. The systems/media folder does have a bootanimation.zip in it though.
You can change them with axura just get root explorer and place your bootanimation.zip in system/media

rename your original bootabimation to like something else and then use root explorer to move the bootanimation to the system/media/
Besure its a zip and spelled correctly or it wont work.
Axura supports bootanimation.
After u move REBOOT so your system knows it's changed then watch if it worked.
Just tried it and got this:
Paste Failure
There was not enough free disk space to complete the paste operation.
Edit: Nevermind, got it to work using Super Manager instead of Root Explorer.
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 installed Kangs CM9 ICS and absolutly love it. Thank you Devo Team for all the work that you all do and definite thumbs up on all.
I would like to change my boot animation and i have followed the directions of some posts and it has not worked.
Applying zip from sdcard in CWM recovery. Renaming the animation to bootanimation.zip and moving to the system folder under media and it wont move or work.
I am using the CWM touch that i have found in the forums and using CM9 like i said.
What can i do to change the animation?
If you have a bootanimationn.zip file just use root explorer and copy it into the /system/media folder just overwrite the existing or rename it prior to copying over the new one. Just make sure you mimic the permissions of the original.
Sent from my MB860(Atrix) Running CM9 and OC'd using xda premium
how do i mimic the permissions
Copy bootanimation.zip with Root Explorer, navigate to system/media, enable read/write with Root Explorer when in system/media, paste the bootanimation.zip into system/media, long press on bootanimation.zip, select permissions from menu, set permissions to RW/R/R, then reboot.
wont be much here and wont be replying as its as simple as it gets.
ripped this out of the 4.1 gnex ota update preview, edited it so it would work with our phone since the ripped version never played when i tried it straight from the ota. desc.txt was all mangled.

Wow, that might be the world's most boring animation, but it's still cool to have, so thank you!
Has anybody made the other boot animation with the triangles from Jelly Bean yet? Just watched the video on YouTube about it. Much much better animation!

I did this:
rename to bootanimation.zip
place on your sdcard,
move to /system/media
set permissions to rw--r--r
reboot
Nothing happened. Same old boot screen. Am I supposed to unzip the bootanimation.zip file?

What did you use to move to the /system/media folder?
Is your file system mounted as writable?

Make sure your file system is mounted as writable. I used ES File Explorer and did all the steps, and it didn't work. So I checked the ES settings and it wasn't "Mounted as writable". Once I fixed that, and did the exact same steps, it worked. The animation looks great.

Hi. I just tried that and it didn't work either. Just moving the bootanimation.zip to the \system\media is all I need to do (besides setting the permissions)? There is no other bootanimation.zip file in the media folder. How does the phone know to use the bootanimation.zip file when booting? Thanks.
Guess this will not work on stock OCS.
Does anyone have a bootanimation that is in the default Samsung format

What rom are you on? Custom boot animation may not be supported.
Is your current boot animation the android logo? There was no other bootanimation.zip in the folder for me, until I placed the renamed JB one.
here's my complete list of steps, that produced the desired results for me on Black*STAR IV ics rom:
*dl file to PC, renamed to bootanimation.zip placed in dropbox
*extracted to external sd card from dropbox app on phone
*moved to /system/media/ folder with ES file explorer (with mounted as writable, and all root options enabled)
*set permissions using Rom Toolbox's root browser
*rebooted phone and enjoyed animation
Mine does samsung logo samsung logo, android logo, then booted up.
Permissions set in ROM toolbox. Bootanimation.zip.
Must be my ROM's animation, (the android letters) needs removed?
Permisions is RW-R--R--
Dear friends
Gotta bored with regular bootanimation
I have some good boot animations which I change time to time you can download them from this linkhttps://www.box.com/bootanimations
In this folder you will find some of boot animations which are having bak extension just rename them ti zip and enjoy
For newbees, the boot animation is the series of images which forms animated shape when mobile boots up
Process to change boot animation
First use root explorer or es file explorer and gain superuser permission to rw system files there go to system/media there you will see a bootanimation.zip file rename it to bootanimation.bak and paste the zip file which you have downloaded from above link
Reboot and feel the change

You mentioned that we must move the bootanimation to system/media but you must also mention that after doing that we must change the bootanimation permission to 0644 or rw-r--r-- or else it won't show any bootanimation....
