Hi, simple question and im sure u have heard it a lot
I recently did the whole xrecovery thing and have successful made
a nandroid backup, whoohoo.
Now im trying a simple thing like installing a custom boot animation.
So first i see a animation here on xda tht i like, make sure its for fimware/build number
2.1/2.1.A.0.435 , then download the .zip file. I picked this one:
http://www.4shared.com/file/BJrGIdCY/bootanimation.html
Then place it in the folder i made for boot animations.
Then go in recovery mode and go to "install custom zip",
Select the zip file and confirm installation.
The only thing is, when i then reboot, the stock animation is still there.
AM I DOING SOMETHING WRONG?????
That's not a flashable zip. You have to use root explorer and replace the existing bootanimation.zip located at /system/media or /local/media can't remember exactly since it has been a while. Check this link:

Cool, thx tht works. I can now switch between stock ani and custom ani.
However the two diffrent custom ani i tried, both dont look like they should, all tht comes up on screen after white sony ericsson writing is a blue-ish, geen android word, with a light flashing over it.
The one i want to install is an angry penguin with a gun who shoots holes in the screen.
Suppose im getting closer, smh???

Don't worry about it. At least you know how to do it now and it's just a matter of getting the correct zip. Google XDA BOOT ANIMATION X10 and you should see quite a few xda threads. Happy hunting!!

This means that it didn't work. This is the stock android boot animation. Even if you delete bootanimation.zip it will show this anim. You most probably did not set correct permission. You need to copy the bootanimation.zip to /system/media and change the permissions to:
X X _
X _ _
X _ _
using root explorer or something equivalent.
His last post already confirmed that it worked.

I flashed trigger 3.2 final and love it. However, I'd like to get that nice original Galaxy S boot animation like on stock. Can anyone hook me up with a download that I can flash through cwr?
But.....but.........but.....
But trigger's boot is the best one. I make sure I slap it onto every rom I run. Sorry, if I had it, id post it. Try this. Get root explorer-get odin pit or tar [whichever is 100mb ish]-copy bootanim.zip from sys/media-replace it with the one in trigger. pm me if u need details

Yup that stock "Galaxy S" bootanimation is used in a lot of ROMs, just need to find one and pull the bootanimation.zip also there is a bootanimation thread in the "Themes and apps" Forum that has a bunch of them it might be in there. Good luck!
Could you please tell me of one of those Roms with that boot animation? Because I cant find any...

Ok, looked more in depth and found a nice boot animation that comes with the "Bi-WinningV2_MultiLang_signed" ROM. Although it did not contain a "bootanimation.zip" it did contain two files as a replacement one dubbed "bootsamsung.qmg" and the other "bootsamsungloop.qmg". So, I deleted my "bootanimation.zip" replaced it with the two files and have a nice working boot animation. However, in reveiws of this ROM there is a boot animation sound to go along... my boot doesn't have a sound so I'm guessing there's a sound file for it somewhere... but my question is where?
I can't really remember and my current ROM doesn't have boot sound, but If my memory serves me correctly its in:
/system/media/audio/ui - but that could be the shutdown sound I really can't remember exactly, sorry. Good luck!
Made 540 by 960 CM9 Boot Animation
Unlike others this is true 540 by 960, loops properly, and works. Plus I made it flashable.
To Install
-----------
Simply download and flash
or
do it manual
Downloads
-----------
V3 Boot Animation
New bootanimation, and no this isn't the stock one that comes with the new CM9 ROMs although it is based on it. The stock one has some serious pixelation with the black background but was higher quality after the "burst" effect. So I merged V2 and the stock together making an overall better quality bootanimation. Also the beginning of the boot animation is alot shorter in the stock. Another thing is that the stock bootanim felt quite slow so I sped that up a bit also.
OUTDATED
_______________________
LQ Boot Animation
HQ Boot Animation because of the size and number of pictures, it won't be as smooth as LQ/V2
Reduced and Quicker Animation V2 Smoother, faster frame rate, Medium Quality
if animation speed of V2 is too fast click here to download V2s
Downloading now... Thanks!!
Downloaded LQ and installed... works great. Downloaded HQ, but have not installed. May try it later!
Thanks for the share!
Your welcome, I might release a newer version with lower size while still retaining quality later.

Nice!!! i saw this on youtube yesterday, and was trying to find a file for it somewhere, thank you!
New Boot Animation Version. Resized to QHD and compressed, check OP.
Original File from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22862145&postcount=46
Changes.
Well every 5th picture is removed, making file smaller.
Frame rate is increased to 60 making the animation faster.
Quality is between LQ and HQ versions and the only notable difference is that it's faster and a bit smoother. If you like the slower animation check the OP for slower version.
tried the high quality version and well it looks nice, its just not very smooth kinda laggy/jerky gonna try the reduced one.
thank you
Loving this animation. Was really getting tired of the nexus boot, thanx

Everytime I try to copy the bootanimation.zip file to the /system/media folder, it fails. Other ones work though. I cant figure it out
edit: nvm tried putting it in my /data/local folder and it worked... go figure never had to do that before
Kk the flash works for cm7 and cm9 and also any ex4 rom. Ex3 roms such as stock blur probably wont flash, though its really easy to change update script to ex3.
Anyway the bootanimation.zip should work on all. Did you check permissions? Also try using root explorer and make sure you have enough space in the /system partition (HQ might be too large try LQ)

I have the reduced and quicker installed on my phone. Even with faux's 1.45 kernel it always freezes for one second twice during boot, i've wiped everything and used it on every ics rom out. it doesn't really bother me, it still looks so sweet i don't care. Are people having better luck with a different one? Thanks so much either way.
I've never changed my boot animation before, and I was just wondering if by flash it you mean do as I would do to flash a new rom? Or is there a different process for boot animations?
Thanks in advance and thanks for the great boot animation, this looks so amazing!

This Boot anim flash in which location?
The official cm9 bootanim has a bunch of frames so even with good compression and fast CPU its going to lag. Plus the phone is using most of its resources booting up so there's going to be a bit of lag.

The bootanimation.zip is located in system/media. Get the bootanimation.zip in the flash file, move to system/media, and set permissions if you want manually install. However its much simpler flashing.

THE BEST AND MOST MESMERIZING BOOT ANIMATION FOR XPERIA SP
EDIT : THREAD RE-OPENED (Thanks to El Daddy, The Moderator)
Hello Guys! '
I am here with my creation boot animation for Xperia SP(C5302/C5303/C5306).
This is the Most mesmerizing and beautiful boot animation like cosmos etc. :laugh:
It contains the best boot animation for your device! With sound!
If you own a Xperia SP rooted with original stock rom JB 4.3 any build version (locked or unlocked bootloaders doesn't matter) you have two ways to install the boot animation. In custom roms it will also get installed. This boot animation is for Xperia SP only.
Unfortunately on custom roms I don't know how to add sound I am using Vanir AOSP but no sound is coming during boot If anyone knows hows to fix this then please help
1) Download and save the "bootanimation.zip" folder onto your sd card
2) Open root explorer or root browser (your preference) and migrate to the zip wherever you placed it.
3) Copy it and then go to root folder "/system/media". There you will see a zip named as "bootanimation.zip" if you haven't yet altered it
4) RECOMMENDED BACKUP THE ORIGINAL BOOT ANIMATION IN CASE IF ANYTHINGS GOES WRONG! Simply copy that "bootanimation.zip" which is inside "/system/media" and paste it anywhere safe onto your phone or computer.
5) Paste this downloaded "bootanimation.zip" file and replace it after backing up original animation.
6) MOST IMPORTANT :- Tap and hold the zip file after pasting and open permission option. You will see this (Image attached) Just check the oprions in image and voila! reboot your device
OR
Download Boot Installer from Play Store and migrate to the downloaded "bootanimation.zip" select it and select install :silly:
Do as you wish
Let me know if you like it
It is in landscape mode but I am working on potrait mode and few other things too
Code:
I will not be blamed for any bricked or dead devices try this at your own sole risk.
My Device Sony Xperia C5302 , Unlocked Bootloader , Android 4.4.4 Vanir AOSP
Download here https://app.box.com/s/n4v1impq5r7xn6iqoxwv
For custom ROMs like AOSP, CM11, bootsound have to be in wav file outside the zip. And bootsound option need to be enabled in build.prop.
Dont know where to put it, how to name it, what changes to build.prop you have to do, but I've found a time ago a thread about this on xda or CM forum.

This is the video I made it's boot animation.
You may have a look at the video, I inserted some tweaks more into it that you can see when you flash the boot animation
Why would I want to stare to a 1 minute boot animation?
The faster it boots, the better.

Welcome bro
Any error if you face during installation ask for help straight away
Hello Guys!
I have been working a lot fixing the bugs and the incorrect fonts of the boot animation of the Android BIOS I made.
I apologize for the inconvenience caused.
Many of you loved it though but due to incorrect font it many were disappointed.
Well I have made it a LOT better
Now you can enjoy two bootanimations mixed!
Thanks to @tj_droid for allowing me to port his watchdogs bootanimation into mine.
I have made it a lot better and great for you all
I have made many changes and most importantly fixed the FONT ISSUE!
NOW ENJOY the HD BIOS bootanimation
I have provided 7 screenshots of how the boot animation looks like. Many asked for original one not to be altered so didn't do much change in that but there is much more you can imagine Don't make me kill the suspence Check it out NOW!
Warning Before flashing this zip manually backup your stock bootanimation by going to root directory of your phone via root explorer then go to /system/media and there you will find your current bootanimation.zip file. Just copy it and save it someplace safe in case you want to go back to your stock animation.
I loved your boot animation. How do I install it?
Another great news is that from now on ALL OF MY BOOTANIMATIONS WILL BE FLASHABLE zip's
Just download the bootanimation from the link I provided and then boot into CWM or TWRP locate the file you downloaded and then flash it
Simple no
CHANGELOG V 2.0
Code:
Added new bootanimation screen
Fixed the FONT ERROR
Made the zip Flashable, now no need to do any crappy stuff's like downloading any software to install or locating bootanimation file manually and replacing it. ;)
Now the next thing I want to do is add sound in it But don't have any good sound clips matching this boot animation
If you have any ideas/file to share then please share a mp3 sound file of not more than 30-32 secs
Here is the download link : https://app.box.com/s/fchf9vkeoy4wg7u0q7b5
If you liked it then don't be shy from hitting thanks
EDIT : Please do leave a reply, your opinion it's must..!
Great improvement from the first boot animation! Can really see the change in graphics!

Font fixed? Nope... Still wrong! Everything should be in the font "fixedsys"
The whole idea of the BIOS boot screen you based yourself on is to keep it as original as possible, without all the "bling bling" that you have added.
The original is nice to add a nostalgic touch to your phone. This one just looks amateuristic and non-coherent.
This is how it should look like...
Proper version is attached for those who like the original end 90's - early 2000 look.
You gotta learn dude. I don't copy the bootanimations.
Original 90's is my base if Ii could have wanted I could make this old crap to b in work.
My main aim is to keep the original as BASE and modify it to as better as I can!
Hope you understood.
Creating every frame and designing it takes crap out of you! If you made this original bootanimation then comment here don't just show off on "someone else's" creation

If you had thoroughly looked at the file I attached you would have seen that every frame has been modified!
Totally different from the original file. Not only dimension wise but the text aswell.
And atleast mine has the correct font, unlike what you claim to have...
I was trying to help you when posting mine in your previous thread. Even now, I mentioned the name of the font once again.
Very nice bootanimaton my problem is only showing 4.3 OS when i have 4.4.4
Haha sorry I actually run 4.3 so I made it 4.3
Anyways thanks for your suggestion next of this bootanimation would be 4.4
Hit thanks if u liked this bootanimation
Did you make this bootanimation? If yes then you keep the authoritiy to say you own this. I created this bootanimation and I kept my own font which I preferred. If you want to share your bootanimation start a new thread don't do that here

Very basic, no animations, nothing fancy. It works on H918 but I don't see why it wouldn't work on other variants or any QHD, 2560x1440 phones. Place zip files in system/media. Permissions set to rw-r-r or 644 for each file. Image attached if zip files don't work for your variant/phone.

I've yet to experience any bootloop issues doing it. The original galaxy s/sidekick 4g/epic 4g touch would just go backlit black screen until it went into the homescreen. I think that android logo has kinda been the default impromptu boot screen since ics. Nice thing about your way tho is the ability to customize the colors. I would love a holo blue android boot animation but I suck at making them. I've had one zip I've ever made actually boot lol
