Does anyone have a working bootanimation.zip without the AT&T logo? I tried editing the original one but I ended up with a blank boot animation screen.
you should be able to search the forum for whatever boot animation you want. Granted they won't be the proper resolution if you pick one with black edges you will be fine. I was using one on a previous flash just fine.
I'll try to find the thread where I found mine

sweet, so exisiting bootanimations work, I can use my old one again haha.

I tried those animations and they worked fine, but I still wish I could keep the original animation.
Boot Animations, while can be tricky and a headache, are customizable if you can adjust the image sizes, etc.
For example, the Motorola Atrix can use up to 540x960 for the resolution. You can also add custom sounds at load by saving an OGG audio file to /system/media (same location as the bootanimation.zip) and adding it accordingly to the desc.txt file. Below is an example.
Code:
540 960 1
p 1 10 part0
s autodestruct.ogg
p 0 0 part1
The first line is the resolution and the frames per second.
Code:
"540 960" Resolution "1" Frames Per Second (each individual image)
The second line defines a Part. For example, the first animation you want to play. So far for me, this is the animation AFTER the Dual Core logo that plays when I've made mine.
Code:
"p" Depicts this is a Part "1" Repeat this many times (0 is infinite) "10" is the delay in frames before the next Part "part0" is the directory within the zip to load this part from
So far easy right? The next line, is for the audio file. If the OGG has a loop point, the audio will loop until the Part is over that it plays within.
Code:
"s" Depicts a sound "autodestruct.ogg" The filename to load from /system/media
A few more examples of loading parts............
To load a Part that is a single image, that loops till boot is done, use this
Code:
p 0 0 "directory_name_here"
I'll try to post some example bootanimation.zip files with explanations if I get time. I've only made a couple so far for my company out of boredom.

So this doesn't break anything? Will I be able to update my phone when an update is out, without having to restore the original bootanimation.zip?

I recommend using your file explorer to rename the original bootanimation.zip on your phone to something like bootanimation_original.zip then put in your custom if you have any worries.
That way, if you go to update just rename custom to bootanimation_custom.zip and restore the original.
Personally, I do not know if the boot animation file will affect updates, but that is a failsafe for you just in case.

Ohh, so what you want is the default bootanimation without the ATT part!
I've personally never worked with bootanimations before, but using MrSER's guide above, i'll try to do that for you.
EDIT: yea... I only get the blackscreen too, really weird...
EDIT 2: figured it out. if you're using WinRAR, when you go to make a .zip, choose "store" instead of "normal" compression, and it should work just fine. I have attached the Default bootanimation.zip without the ATT part

My bad mate, forgot to mention that. I make mine with Winzip 15 Pro and set it to No Compression (from my experience, no compression is a requirement).
I may end up doing a tutorial on all this on my blog. If I do, I'll post a copy here and link as well (I like screenshots on my blog, lol).

thanks for the bootanimation.zip, i did chmod 644 it before cp to /system/media to match the perms on the original bootanimation.zip, but i did a reboot and it worked fine. it's nice not having the att logo during boot, and having att removed from the notification bar with the ginerblur mod too. feels good man!
What folder do you put the animation in?

I know this is a really newb question but I am a newb when it comes to android... I've owned my Atrix for about a week. Anyway, how do I replace this file and where do I find it?

Just find a boot animation that you like, download the zip file, rename it to bootanimation.zip and then go into your system/media folder and change the name of the current bootanimation to anything you want like bootanimationold.zip. Then put the new zip file in the system/media folder and there you go. You do not need to move the old boot animation file as long as you change the name.
of course, the method I'm describing is relevant if you have rooted your phone and you have something like Root Explorer, otherwise you will need to use adb, but still you need root.

Thank you so much man I really wanted to remove this AT&T animation
im having a similiar problem on my rooted atrix. I tried to change my bootanim and just gives me a black screen, so i tried to change it back to the orignal and nothing. I checked if the zip was compressed and it isnt. i dont know what i did wrong, i didnt touch anything but the zip
I have the Call of Duty boot animation, but for some reason the audio wont work. I also have tried the Xbox 360 boot animation. Even that, will not play the audio. but the FinalThunder.mp3 still plays fine.
Ive checked permissions, file names...rhetorically everything. Anyone got an idea what i might be doing wrong?
which rom are you using.....I'm finding the same problem using CM7 and the Bios boot animation. Haven't really looked into it yet though as I just loaded it this morning.
Will post back if I find anything.........
Stock. I rooted fully. Rootchecker says im fine, and the animation works, but no sound
What I have found that works is you have to have the folders within bootanimation.zip set up the same way as the stock one: android, progress and VZW. I haven't look that far into but it seems like the boot sound is triggered when a certain folder is started. If this is so, replacing the boot animation with another one that isn't structured the same and renaming the mp3 to FinalThunder won't work.
Like, wat do you mean? only thing i got is the bootanimation.zip and FinalThunder.mp3, and its int he same place, as in /system/customize/resource/

There's a folder structure inside bootanimation.zip. I'm not talking about where the zip file stored on the phone. More than like the Call of Duty zip has two folders in it, android and part2. Link me to where you got the boot animation and I'll fix it for you.

Ill try to attach the ones i have.
Looking inside them both, stock bootanim has no folders. But the COD one does. As for the audio, FinaltHUNDER works but cod-finalthunder wont. (no, i didnt name it that lol)
As i said before, the boot animation works PERFECTLY, just the audio is not working
Try this. Works with sound on my phone. http://www.mediafire.com/?2fvuc65eqdcfdp3
testing. will post with results.
Also, could you maybe tell me what you did? I really want to learn. I have some others i'd like to get working, as well as some ideas I am building with some friends. They know the stuff, but they are in classes and doing finals..I don't have the luxury of college.
Also, is there a way i can adb into my phone and auto-achieve r/w on my system folder? Right now, i have to use RootExplorer and mount as R/W since adb always tells me "unable to push, blah blah, read only filesystem"
It works. Perfectly. Cept the audio is unsynched but that will be easy for me to fix. Thank you so much. What did you change, my awesome savior?

All I did was set the folder structure the same way the stock one is, with android, progress and VZW and made sure desc.txt was formatted properly.
If you are using adb, instead of using Root Explorer to mount system, try command
Code:
adb shell sysrw
Of course this command all depends on how the ROM is set up that you are using.
So, say im using a new bootanimation. Copy/pasta the desc text file, and make sure the structure inside is the same way?
adb shell sysrw says permission denied. im using rooted stock.

Simple break down: android folder contains the first image of the boot animation; the one some people thinks is a second splash screen. VZW folder contains the actually boot animation images and progress is the last image display at the phone is booting. Place your boot animation images in these folders accordingly. I would suggest just putting a plain black image in the android folder and name the image the same as the stock "second splash" screen.
Use the desc.txt file from the boot that I sent you. The only thing you will need to change is the frame rate to make it work with other boot animations. So if a boot is supposed to be displayed at 10 fps, change the 30 to 10 and save.
Once you have everything the way you want it, zip all three folders and desc.txt using the store, or no compression, option. Now you are ready to go. Like you mentioned earlier, you may need to edit FinalThunder.mp3 to make it sync correctly.
About adb sysrw command; stock RUU is not up for that command. Not sure what the syntax would be for stock root or if you can even mount the system as R/W through adb.
dont think i can. and i thnk i gotta lower the fps a little ont he animation

Did you open it from within the zip file and save it? If so, when you saved it, the zip was updated and probably changed the compression ratio to the default of whatever program you are using.

Hey guys, I'm looking for and audio thread that would help with a GB lockscreen, I have ran across one or know if there is one but I found this one and may one of you could help me?
I want to change or I should say make an audio sound for when I unlock my GB Rom. Is that possible? I also wanted to combined in two audio sounds. Any help would be great and appreciated. Thanks

Hey everyone, I'm posting this so you all can see if Bootanimations work on the nook tablet *aside from that abysmal stock animation* so let's move on, shall we?
Instructions:
What you need to do is just download,rename to bootanimation.zip and push to /data/local/
you can do this by either using adb
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/
or by using a file explorer.
Bootanimation
There are 2 choices.
Code:
Thundercats
Transformers (decepticon)

Added a second bootanimation to the thread.
I tried, but no luck. A couple things i noticed. One, my bootanimation file lives in /system/bin, second, i'm not sure how to match the permissions. The original file's permissions are rwxr-xr-x, third(ly) i also tried dropping the .zip extension as it's not on the original file.
Let me know what i'm doing wrong, or anything else you'd like me to try. Thanks indirect, for all your work!

WHATEVER YOU DO DO NOT TOUCH THE bootanimation Binary File in /system/bin!!! This is the Executable that RUNS a boot animation.... copy over that file and boot animations will cease to function until it is restored to the original file.
Yeah, i realized what it was after some experimenting. So i restored it, and tried indirect's instructions exactly, but no luck.

Just tried it as well and no luck.
You know on my phone, the location of the bootanimation.zip is in the /system/media folder. Maybe try dropping it there?
Yeah, try pushing it to system/media
We might need to put it in the framework-res if this doesnt work. :/
Sent by breaking the sound barrier
Put it in system/media and i got NO starting animation at all (which gave me a bit of a scare for a moment until the unlock screen came on) . But by having NO animation, that means its doing SOMETHING.

Hi, is there a way to turn off boot animation...I it takes about 5 minutes for my nook tablet to load...kind of annoying when you need to do something quickly.
Thanks so much!

I have the ROM toolbox app which has the ability to automatically change the boot animation, but I am not sure if I can use the application without messing up the tablet.

The 5 minute bootup is not affected by the bootanimation at all. The boot animation actually completes fairly early, and becomes a static image until the end of the bootup.
Also, the Nook Tablet uses a special /system/bin/bootanimation which, while recognizing custom bootanimations, fails to actually draw them to the screen. Thus, you end up with a black screen for those ~5 minutes while the boot process is going. It took me a long time to realize that I hadn't bricked my nook to figure that out.
The only bootanimation that works is stored in the /system/framework/framework-res.apk file, which can be tricky to modify, and update correctly. The snowball-mod root that I wrote has a custom bootanimation, but that's just more a side effect of fixing the white-on-white problem, (if you've already hacked one PNG in the file, hacking a few more isn't particularly hard.)
Oh ok thank you for the info. I appreciate it

Was anyone able to get their boot animation changed from stock at this time. It would be nice to have something that doesn't promote BN. This thread just kind of fell to the wayside.
Thanks...
Gave it a try. It did something. Went from the Read Forever screen to black untill it finished booting. I think its a start. Tried the Thunder Cats file.

anyone try using 7-ZIP to drag/drop/replace similar-sized images into the original bootanimatoon.zip? I had some luck doing that on my intercept. I guess it preserves the original sig/align or something.
You have to change the animation in framework-res.apk since that's where B&N use theirs. The normal android way won't work here.

I also want to change my boot animation back to the stock sgs2, I tried putting the qmg files in system/media and removing the boot animation.unicorn file, but that didn't work. did you do it manually? Or does anyone know how to on this rom?
you need to push the zip file "bootanimation.zip" into /system/media.
You need to do it with some file explorer like 'Root Explorer' when you are on /system remember set the press the button R/W on the top to give the permissions for writing on this folder
Yep, done all that, but unfortunately the rom doesn't read the stock .qmg files so ended up making a bootanimation.zip from scratch. Now just to get the audio running... I have the PowerOn.ogg file, does anyone know where to put it? Doesn't seem to work in usual system/etc folder

my guess would be a particular app, probably an mp3 downloader or something that has adds. take a look at the clippings and see if you recognize them from somewhere. find out what app is doing it and shut it down (clear data and force close) in applications manager, and delete the pics. or just delete the app/ find a similar one or pay for the add free version if there is one and see how you go

So I wanted an appropriately shiny boot animation for my newly Fresh-rommed Evo, and I found this page:
http://droidmodderx.com/galaxynexus/how-to-install-100s-of-bootanimations-for-your-galaxy-nexus (Full of previews, will bog your computer down!)
That phone has the same screen resolution, 720 x 1280, so most of these seem to work for me. I didn't bother with flashing them from recovery, as the bootanimation.zip file can be easily extracted and placed in /system/media using Root Explorer. Your mileage may vary. I am using Spyro at the moment, nice ICS-ish colors.
SOME of them did not work, or rather they worked, with intermittent flashes of a white screen..I am not sure but suspect it's something to do with frame rate? Anyone?
Updates.................
Directories: Your individual rom maker may have put the animation package in one of several locations. These include:
/system/media
/system/customize/resource
/data/local
I have seen still other locations used on my old EVO 4G (and new roms are coming out all the time), so if you just cannot find anything, try doing a search for 'animation.zip' from the root level, with your file browser.
Filenames: Your rom maker may have used one of several slightly different name variants for the bootanimation.zip package; it really depends on what they started out with as a base. Sense-based roms, for example, will tend to change things up. You might have an 'HTC_bootup_one.zip' instead of a 'bootanimation.zip'. You can't go wrong by naming your new package the exact same thing, and putting it in the same folder. (BUT you also have the option of deleting all oddly named animation packages you find in odd locations on your phone, and just using the standard 'bootanimation.zip' and putting it in /system/media. This is the Android standard location, and it will almost certainly look there if it can't find it elsewhere. Note that if you do this and fail to find and delete the other package, it will still use the other instead.)
Permissions: You shouldn't need to change permissions on the package file, at least that's never been an issue for me. If you are having problems there, I'd suggest trying the standard 644 setting one usually finds in the system folder, or RW-R--R--. (As long as the file is Readable by the owner, I would think that it would work.)
I can't delete or change these files! You may be using ES File Explorer, which is not the easiest app to drive. It requires root permission being set in its settings, and if you don't do that, hilarity can ensue. (I again recommend Root Explorer by Speed Software, which is not free but gives the most straightforward file browsing experience you can imagine, a big plus if you're new to rummaging around in your phone's innards!)
You absolutely cannot play with this stuff without root, so don't even try, okay? And when you want to change anything in a root-level folder, you will need to remember to set that folder RW (read/write), and then remember to set it back to RO (read only) when you are done, yes? You smart folks already know these things, I just want to make this post as complete as possible.
But I need MORE animations! I found the link above by googling 'bootanimation.zip 720x1280' so have at it!
If you've any more questions, please ask..
Worked great for me, thanks!

What about activating sound?

Well, if you want sound and the animation doesn't include it, it is possible to add any fairly short sound in .ogg format to the same /system/media folder, and call it with an edit to the bootanimation.zip file. (You'll need to call it from the desc.txt file inside the zip.)
Say you have a sound picked out and converted, and it's called evoboot.ogg. Your desc.txt will need to include the line:
s evoboot.ogg
There are some tutorials on building these animations from scratch, if you look around on here, like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420991

I have been wanting to change Boot Animations - and I have done it on other phones and ROMS I have used - but I am a little confused - I went to my system/media folder and there isn't a boot anmiation file in that folder now - The Rom I am using (Charmeleon or something like that) has a boot animation of some kind - but it must be in a different folder - any suggestions?

I use the same rom. The file is in system/customize/resource. You have to rename the bootanimation to hTC_bootup_one.zip. Also don't forget to make the permissions match.
I am very much looking forward to trying some of these out tomorrow when I get off of work!! I've read through the two guides on making your own and implementing your own sound files. These sound very exciting as well, but I feel they are over my head still. I am going to pace myself a bit and wait to try them.. but soon I will try.. But for now there are just so many to choose from.

Could you expand on how to make permissions match. I found two files in that directory that has me confused. One is hTC_bootup.zip and one is SPC_bootanimation.zip. Which do I change? Also it seems that I can't delete the spc one to put the zip I downloaded in its place. Am I making this harder than it really is?

Got what? Can anyone elaborate?
I'm wanting to know this too, because I tried some other boot animations from an HTC ONE series phone, and it didn't work.
These were mentioned here on the boards earlier, and I tried to use a flashable "beats" BA, but it did not work. Also tried the "suckerpunch" BA manually by going into system/customize/resource, and THAT did not work either.
A guide would be greatly appreciated, and a sticky should be made for boot animations, as well as splash screens.

Where did those animations come from that you mentioned? Cause i doubt the names are correct for this phone

Okay. First go download the boot animation that you like from:
http://tinyurl.com/co9ulfv Not sure if you can post the full links here but at least this one is clickable?
(One of the bootanimations I clicked on was bogus so use your brain. The next three brought me right to the file download without visiting a website first.) Then go into ES file explorer and go into settings and make it writable by placing a check next to Root Explorer and Mount File System. Next I found the downloaded file and clicked into it and clicked Data then local and found the actual boot animation zip and copied it to the root of the SD card so it would be easy to find. After that I renamed that file to SPC_bootanimation.zip. Now you go into system/customize/resource and delete the file labeled as SPC_bootanimation.(I saved a copy first and this must be done before you copy the file you're pasting in there. Don't know why but once I copied I couldn't delete the stock _bootanimation.zip file). Then I went back to the sd card and copied the renamed SPC_bootanimation file and pasted it in the resource directory where i deleted the original. Bingo, reboot and you will see your new animation. I did all of these steps in ES File Explorer.
Your folder may be in system/media depending on which rom you're using. I am on stock/ ultra smooth lscape Rosie by flex360.
P.S. the way I was messing up first was I was trying to rename the file I downloaded to spc_bootanimation not the bootanimation.zip file located inside of that original download in the Data/Local directory.
Also, I'm not an English major by any means, so if something is spelled incorrectly or the proper grammar wasn't used, sorry. I'm not looking for a lesson just looking to help out. heck if it's bad enough, just click on the donation tab next to my name and maybe I can afford some classes.
I'm using the bluplazmall boot animation. Looks really good.

I updated my post, does it answer your questions? If not, or if you would like to correct a point, let me know.

they are correct when your running a one x rom port. thats what hes referring to joelz rom.
thanks, I can't stand the stock animation and haven't found much so far for the EVO LTE. Lots of stuff out there for the G Nex!!
what you looking for?
Ok maybe I'm just retarded, or just a little rusty on my adb. Tried this in RootExplorer, didn't work. Tried it using adb, didn't work either. It's saying /system is mounted as Read-Only. I tried an app called SUFBS and made sure that it was mounted as Read-Write, and it failed. In adb, I'm navigating to the correct folder, "adb devices" to make sure it's showing up, "adb remount" which is succeeding, then "adb push SPC_bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource/" and it's giving the Read-only error. I'm running ViperRom 1.2.1 and am S-Off. Anybody got any pointers? Oh and btw, I did extract the bootanimation.zip from the .zip file I downloaded from the website in the op.
I am curious what root explorer is saying when in that directory..does the button at the top allow you to set it RW?
It's not showing an icon for rw or anything. May be a different, crappier version? It's the one that came with ViperROM. That SUFBS app is very similar, and I chose rw in it, found the bootanimation.zip file on my sd card, moved it to /system/customize/resource, and it showed it moving the file, but it never showed up.
Edit: It's RootBrowser. Nonetheless, SUFBS is essentially the same thing. I'm curious though why I can mount as read-write in that app, yet adb says its read-only.
