I'm using the newest CyanogenMod (I think) 7.1.0 on BL 1.1.
I'm trying to change the boot animation by finding the bootanimation.zip file in the media folder and replacing it with one I like better, a process I saw on androidpolice.com. It's not working--the animation is the same. The only way I've been able to change it is by using a flashable animation.
Can anyone help with tips or just telling me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
HoneyComb boot animation
I'm also very curious on how to do this right, as we're using HoneyComb on our very budget Gtab, which works amazingly well (minus the lack of hardware support/features) but as like many, the 'Boot Animation' is awful!

Step 3 looks like what I've been doing. I'll try it again anyway. Thanks.

Hello,
What i am looking for is the Stock Bootanimation.zip file that comes with fascinate. What i wanna do is get the PNG files that make up the verizon boot logo. I want to take this and use it to make a boot animation for a diff device.
All i have is the bootanimation.qmg but i have searched and have not been able to find a way to get the images out fo htat compressed format.
Thanks for all your assistance in advance.
The stock boot animation isn't a zip file, it's a .qmg file...
stock kernels for fascinate don't support bootanimation.zip files. The .qmg is a proprietary format chosen by Samsung (shock!) and developed for them by the QURAM Corp. However, many custom roms DO support bootanimation.zip startup logos. (SuperClean 2.92 is a superb example)
The shutdown sequence however, is in .png format, although it also comes with a .cfg configuration file. Its located in /system/media/video/shutdown
Hope this helps.
Any way to get that boot animation? When I rooted my gf's fascinate, it replaced the verizon one with the default "android" in landscape mode.
Little off topic but similiar (not trying to hijack post), can you get the orignal backgound back after changing it to something else? It's not listed in the wallpaper choices.
I'm not sure specifically, but it seems that it depends on the kernel you have if you can install custom boot animations, since the Fascinate (and probably other Galaxy phones) don't really have the .zip support (i'm guess on what i've read).
I'm sure someone will correct me, lol

Are you referring to the background that looked like water? I believe it's been replaced by a different water one and that one is listed under live wallpapers.

No the rock formation background/wallpaper when you first bootup after installing 2.0.
Hey there,
I really like the newest Gingeritis ROM , for me it has been relatively stable with just a few spontaneous reboots and an occasional FC.
I am trying to change the boot animation from the one that comes with the ROM. I found the ability to do this in the Spare Parts app, but no matter which I choose, none actually changes from that original "computer boot" looking opening screen. Can anyone help me?
Thanks!

Not sure what file Spare Parts is changing, but I found that I needed to change /system/customize/resource/VZW_bootanimation.zip in order to change my boot animation on Gingeritis VIII. I was getting a little mad too, until I realized the boot animation file was the original Verizon name/location.
I thought it might be something like this. Can you describe the procedure exactly? Thanks!

First, I'll start with something maybe a little harsh, but I feel it's true. If you don't know what you're doing already, chances are you should not do it.
Download the boot animation you want, put it on your SD card. Open root explorer (or other file explorer that can mount directories r/w), find the boot animation file you just put on your SD card and copy it. Navigate to /system/customize/resource and rename VZW_bootanimation.zip to something else and paste the file you have copied. Rename the file you just copied to VZW_bootanimation.zip.
I appreciate the response and the explanation. Thanks.
I've just updated to the new Gingertis and was able to get my favorite boot screen back. However, I cannot seem to get the thunder sound. Where is the proper place to put the thunder.mp3? THANKS!

Hi, The animation looks great on youtube.
I have no idea how to use the zip file (I downloaded the nook version of animation).
Can you enlighten me? (on how to install the boot animation)
Thanks.
I dont have a nook, but on phones Zip file needs to be pushed to system/media or data/local, according to the rom. I guess it's the same for nook, if you have root.
You should hit nook thread of the rom you are rocking and ask there.

I found a how-to on changing the boot animation, which worked under Phiremod 6.3, but for some reason didn't work in CM7, unless I did something wrong. Which is WAY possible.

I guess for cm7 boot goes to system/media. Use a file browser to search for bootanimation.zip and replace it.

ATTENTION: THIS MOD IS FOR DELL VENUE PHONE ONLY, NOT FOR VENUE TABLETS
I just tested this boot animation that was written for Dell Streak on my Venue, and...it works!
I know we are about to get some custom ROMs thanks to Manii and whoever else can cook custom ROMS but I got tired of looking at the Olleh logo and wanted to try. So glad it worked!
Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1309941
If your Venue is rooted, first move the zip file to your SD card. After that move that file to /data/local folder using Root Explorer or similar app and reboot. Enjoy!
Majority of the flashable stuff on the s5 will work fine on the V, only issue is safely flashing it.
A lot of it can be manually copied over though.
Cool, I was hoping that was the case. Looking forward to your new ROM. Already using the rooted deodexed one.
you don't really need to get bootanimation from Streak 5 to make it work on Venue though, I tried with some bootanimation of my Glacier and they work just fine on Venue. We just need to adjust the speed in desc.txt

does this work with CM 7 rom installed?
I like best MIUI theme, It has more optional for you choose!
Alright, thanks for the link OP I rooted the V just to get that boot animation. I wanted it bigger and better definition so I remade the animation with a better source. I have made successful animations before so it was no big deal, but this one has caused a bootloop and seems to have corrupted my recovery as well. Any ideas on a fix? been trying adb pull with no success as of yet.
Hello fellow Rezounders
Not being satisfied with current boot animation offerings, I fired up Adobe Flash and got to making a new, simple boot animation. It isn't labeled "CyanogenMod" or "Super Ultra Special Hax ROM 8.3". Just the one thing we all use in common: HTC Rezound.
Previews
v1 Black
v1 White
v2 Black
Instructions
First, you'll want to choose which version you want. v1 is larger, but stutters a little (like most boot animations) on the first loop through due to its size. v2 is a lot smaller so it doesn't stutter.
AOSP ROMs (CyanogenMod, AOKP):
1. download file
2. put it on your SD Card
3. copy it to /data/local/ using ES File Explorer or another file manager.
Sense 3.6 ROMs:
1. download Vigor_VZW_bootanimation.zip
3. put it on your SD Card
4. copy it to /system/customize/resource/
5. rename hTC_bootanimation.zip, found in /system/customize/resource/ to hTC_bootanimation.zip.bak
Sense 4.x ROMs:
MaartenXDA said:
@OP, for Sense 4.0+,
Rename the file as hTC_bootup.zip.
Copy it to /system/customize/resource. That should work.

Re: ROM-agnostic boot animation
Didn't work for me on Nils Business ICS ROM.
The default boot animation is Vigor_VZW_bootanimation.zip. I renamed it and it didn't work. I also tried without renaming it and it didn't work.
Oh well.

Vigor_VZW_bootanimation was in /system/customize/resource/ right? I don't use a Sense ROM so it's kinda hard for me to troubleshoot this issue.
EDIT: I looked into it a little more (read: googled it) and came across this post. I've made the corrections to the zip, please try Vigor_VZW_bootanimation.zip which I just attached to my first post. Also, rename/remove "HTC_bootanimation.zip" from the /system/customize/resource/ directory
Re: ROM-agnostic Boot Animation
Wow.
I didn't even ask you to look into it and you did! You're awesome.
I appreciate the effort, but it still didn't work. I haven't had any luck with any boot animation I've tried on this phone. Either I'm doing something wrong, or my phone doesn't like cooperating.
Again, thanks for trying, sir!

I want people to use it, that's why I shared it.
Are you on Business Sense with Sense 4.0 or 3.6? I didn't realize there were two different versions. I have no idea how to change the boot animation on Sense 4.0. I can't find any relevant information at all.
If anyone wandering by this thread knows how, feel free to drop a note.
Re: ROM-agnostic Boot Animation (now with Black!)
I'm on 3.6.
Downloaded the new files. Followed your exact instructions, still doesn't work. I think it's just something wrong with the phone or the ROM. This is a fresh flash, too.
Could it be because I don't have an SDcard? My phone doesn't read SDcards anymore, so I'm using only the internal storage.
Thanks again!
Re: ROM-agnostic Boot Animation (now with Black!)
I probably have incorrect instructions, I'm not able to test them on my phone

Re: ROM-agnostic Boot Animation (now with Black!)
Downloaded the file again. I made the permissions match exactly, used Root Explorer. Renamed the file. Removed the default files. Still didn't work.
I'll post a comment over in Nils thread to see what I can find out.
Thanks.
Re: ROM-agnostic Boot Animation (now with Black!)
@OP, for Sense 4.0+,
Rename the file as hTC_bootup.zip.
Copy it to /system/customize/resource. That should work.

new version is up that loads a bit faster so you don't have that stuttering on the first run-through.

Yeah I caught this error earlier and didn't re-up the new zip. Dimensions were set to 1024x768 instead of 420x240, so it's fixed now.
Very nice...very clean. I like this a lot.
