Hey guys,
I'm so sorry if this is a topic which has been resolved before but I am kinda new at all this (this is my first post) , I was on YouTube and came across some videos of how to apply custom boot animation on an HTC desire WITHOUT ROOT.
I didn't fully understand the procedure and was wondering if this is possible on an un-rooted wildfire as well. And if yes, then how?
I am currently running the official android 2.2.1 update, obviously without ROOT.
Thanks in advance

Right, I would also love to know.
After searching about on Astro I found the picture files for the boot animation. There was also a very short script. I worked out which bit told the device the screen resolution and fps but the rest was gobbledy gook

Sorry accidently pressed send too soon...
....to me. The filepath to the folder was:
\system\customize\resource\bootanimation.zip
Can't access it? Try downloading Astro file manager from the Market.

Alright, i have access to the folder, now what?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
do u have write permission on that folder???
If so, then you have to replace the bootanimation.zip with the bootanimation u want..
You can find the custom bootanimation in the same forum..
So basically, I access the folder with boot animation, and replace it with the custom boot animation i want right? This is all through the computer right?
I'm so sorry if I'm asking obvious stuff but I'm new at all this
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
yeah thats right... have you rooted the phone???
You cannot modify the system folder without root. I wasn't even aware that it was possible to change bootanimation without root. Ill check that video out and try to help you.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Alright. The video showed a Droid incredible and the person used a Mac and entered some code into the terminal, that is basically command prompt on windows.
So yeah check it out and see if you understand it.
Thanks in advance

You need root access to change the system zip I showed earlier. Put the animation in separate folders in the zip folder eg:
HTC
TMOB
I recommend you use a simple name for the folder.
Then you need to rename the image files to:
Foldername_240x320_15fps_0001
Foldername_240x320_15fps_0002
Foldername_240x320_15fps_0003
Etc...
This isn't essential but is good practice. You must include the 0001 at the end though so the animation images are in the right order.
REMEMBER THOSE SPECS ARE FOR HTC BUZZ WILDFIRE.
Now you need to edit the desc.txt script.
***FROM HERE ON I AM NOT 100% SURE AND DO NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE***
desc.txt:
240 320 15
p
p
Now I figured what the top line is; resolution and fps. But the lines with p on confuse me. They have some numbers after and the the folder name.
Will update later when I find out.
Hope this helps.

Please thank if you found this helpful.

[[UPDATE:]]
Right guys, I think I found out somit...
First I need to correct a mistake from earlier, when I said to rename the pic files, it seems you need to start from 0000 not 0001:
Foldername_240x320_15fps_0000
Foldername_240x320_15fps_0001
Foldername_240x320_15fps_0002
Next, I'd like to say what I found out about the desc.txt file.
Mine looks like this...
240 320 15
p 1 45 android
p 1 1 TMI
I explained the first line earlier. Now look where it says "p 1 45 android".
The p is absolutely necessary, I don't know what it stands for, maybe play?
The "1 45" were the question. I think they tell the phone how many frames there are. But the thing that confused me is that the android folder has 1 file and the TMO folder has 45. But the script says the opposite. Can you make any sense of this?
And last but not least, the "android" at the end of the line is the name of the folders holding the different animations.
Did that make sense?
Alright, thanks man
Will try it out in a few days, got exams

Good luck with those. I think I'm on to something with the script... will update previous post shortly.

Oh, how are you going to try it out when you are running 2.2.1 and don't have root access? I did mention you need root access to modify bootanimation.zip as it is a system folder
I know its annoying.... i'm just starting to get the full grips of all this rooting malarky a couple of months ago and guess what I did before I knew about not being able to root Android 2.2.1.... yes I updated
So now I cant test any of my new ROM's, Hacks and Tweaks until unrEVOked get a move on
I will try and make a website with help on in the future as I am now making quite a few tweaks and people need to know this stuff! Will post full instructions for bootanimation tweak in the coming future....
Good Luck to anyone who does try anything!

Yeah, even I didnt know that the official 2.2.1 for wildfire for not rootable I got an alert for the official update and installed immediately without any research.
So yeah im stuck too
Anyways thanks for the reply

I made this boot animation for my phone because i hated the sprint portion of it.
I left the motorola aspect in place but changed the ending.
ROOT IS REQUIRED
i just used root explorer to copy the zip to system/media
Make sure it is named bootanimation.zip after downloading
Boot animation Motorola/Nvidia #1
Video
Download
Boot animation Motorola/Nvidia #2
No video of this animation yet make sure to rename to bootanimation.zip
Download
I will be adding more as time permits
Very nice, smooth and much better than stock. I like it better than the new roms that have come out also. Thanks for the post. This is a keeper.
I'm still only 3 weeks into android from blackberry but I love being ably modify everything!! Better than hybrids.

Just want to add, I modified the first Animation to have the Nvidia piece kick in a litter faster. As my phone starts pretty quick, and having the Motorola animation run 4-5 times before the Nvidia animation, my phone would start before I saw the Nvidia tegra animation.
Either way, this works for me

Hi, I am new to android. My MoPho is rooted, i tried to copy bootanimation.zip to location specified using File Expert, it will not allow me to write to any system directories or files. I installed Root Explorer but get a FC message everytime I attempt to load it. Any suggestions?

You have to Root your Photon 4g 1st...
Just follow this site and follow the steps to Root your Phone..
Its so Simple... Just a Click of a button you have your Photon Rooted..
Make sure you enable Android Debugging and Allow Unknown Source in Apps settings..
Root
After than, Just paste the Bootanimation.zip folder in your sd card or internal storage.
( You have to Rename it to bootanimation.zip )
Then Use Root Explorer and go into System/media and paste it over there..
When you get Permission Request on Superuser click Allow..
Thats all..
Reboot and Enjoy your New Boot Animation.

That would be simple if it were not already rooted. (Root checker verified)
I recently discovered how to mount directories with read/write permissions, I did so and it worked like a charm. Great animation BTW. Anyone have others they find interesting?
Can someone please upload the stock boot animation for those of us who needed to restore their devices to stick and lost the original animation?
This looks easy and awesome!
Thanks so much.

After installing your animation I found another I wanted to try out, however yours seems to be here for the long haul.
I've even gone as far as deleting the animation zip entirely and then rebooting, with no luck. Is there some back up that it draws from in the case that the files are not present?
Honestly I keep expecting your animation to say " Resistance is futile".. Any ideas?
The early bird may get the worm but the second mouse gets the cheese...
Have you tried just replacing it with the other boot animation your wanting to use and changing permissions using root explorer. I never had any issues changing the animation

Good job on this man. I was reading thru the posts and saw some were having issues with permissions so before I copied over the new Boot Animation .zip file, I checked the permissions of the original and after copying over I made sure the new one had the same.
Worked without an issue and looks great!!

Hey Guys,
I wanted to offer this to anyone who didn't know how to do it. I can create custom boot animations for you from .avi or flash video formats.
Also, if you see one for another device anywhere and would like it modified for our device resolution, let me know and I will convert it.
I have tested all of these on my device, so they are confirmed working. If not let me know and I will fix it. I am not responsible for any problems caused by you doing something wrong in the flashing process.
Simply post post a url to your video. That's it. YouTube is a good source.
I will do them according to post order.
Here is where the ones I've done will be listed. They are all flashable in CWM recovery
Credit for Call of Android goes to this thread. All i did was make it flashable and optimize the resolution for our device.

Hi, I would love to have the "glowing S" boot animation that is used with the Perception and Cognition 777 roms to use with Unnamed 1.3.1 ...Forgive my ignorance if this isn't possible to flash over or simply isn't cool to the dev. I'm new to the community and still learning the do's and don'ts. Either way THANKS!
I don't have a video of a specific one but would it be possible to make one resemble the old SEGA or Nintendo animations? Maybe even change it to say Android or SGSII in that font?
I made some crude animations of what I have in mind, if anyone is more animation savvy and willing to play with it please feel free to do so. These are very basic so please don't hate on them haha

Here is the file for that animation that you need to place in your system/media folder. Use root explorer and copy and paste. Be sure to rename original bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.bak.
I tested it and it does work, however it doesnt have the sound, which I would rather not have anyway personally, but if you do want the sound let me know and I will work it up to.

Stock AT&T boot animation?
I know, I know...why, why, why?
I'm looking for a way to reinstate the stock AT&T boot animation. Any ideas?
My reason is to give the appearance of stock bootup even though I am running root and Zedomax OC kernel. I already have my jig to reset the flash count (lost the yellow ! triangle - - YAY!!)

Found your problem I think, you have a command named wrong, its supposed to be "package_extract_file", also I recommend adding a set permissions line to the file to ensure it doesn't brick from bad permissions. You can use the tablet ui zip in my signature for reference if you need to.

Dl'ing, and flashing... hang tight.
Flash was successful... but it's still laggy on my device. After looking at the boot animation closer, I realized what might be the issue. There's only 25 images in there and when it goes from 1 through 25 all seems fluid. It's when it goes from 25 back to 1 that the lag happens. At least that's what I think. Food for thought.
Keep up the good work!
