How do I change the boot screen without flashing a new one using Root Explorer?
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
are you on hboot 1.4 or 1.5...
and by the way, not a good idea. how much longer does it take to edit the name of a .zip, move it to the root of your SD and boot to bootloader?
Maybe I asked the wrong question. What's the easiest way to change the boot animation and how do I do it? I'm on 1.5 BTW.

boot screen or boot animation... big difference between the two.
and you cannot change the boot logo (boot screen, splash screen, whatever you wanna call it) unless you are s-off (NAND unlocked)
boot animations are easy, just a matter of replacing a file in root explorer.
Yeah I'm talking about the animation. Where is the correct file located?

it dependa on the ROM and/or theme you're running, post that info, I think I know the answer for most
Ok, I'll bite. I've got the stock 2.17.651.5 rooted ROM. Where's it located, and where can I find new boot animations?
well, since you had root explorer, run a file search from root...
search for "bootanimation.zip" or i think some of them are even called "sprint_bootanimation.zip"
is that correct duce? been a long time since i have played with a boot anim...
also, your custom animation needs to be renamed to match the name of the one that came with your ROM, and placed in the same location.

I'm running MeanROM with the Area 51 theme on top. I just don't like the boot animation for Mean.

stock should be:
/system/customize/resource/Sprint_Bootanimation.zip
as for finding new ones, there's zillions, some in the market, some one xda, other forums, etc.

so long as the bootanim wasn't changed when you applied area51, it should be the same as listed above, although it's possible it's in /data/local/bootanimation.zip as suggested above.

Do I just extract the animation file I want from the ROM zip and place it in the appropriate location?

Petitdroid resized
Hi there, the petitdroid animation is stretched because the size in "desc.txt" is set to 480x800, it should be 320x480. I had troubles to install ist as a ROM, so I just included the file "bootanimation.zip" which contains the animation itself. It has to be placed into /data/local, root needed.

Of course I am referring to the thread you just mentioned. However, I can't post to dev forums yet. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705279
I designed a custom boot animation, but I need some help to get it up and running.
Can someone take a look here please: Why is my custom boot animation not working?
Is it possible for one of the devs to port this to the fascinate? I'm not sure if this has been asked but it would be nice.

For future reference, this probably belongs in themes and apps.
Anyways, you can probably pull it from the system dump. Is there one for somewhere?
Here it is. Havent tested on a Fascinate yet though. http://www.droid-life.com/2011/01/10/download-droid-thunderbolt-boot-animation-for-droid-x-and-2/
Ok installed and works. Well copied the bootanimation.zip over anyways. Didnt cwm install it.
Thanks. When you installed the bootanimation.zip, how did you do it? Better yet, where did you place it?

You put it in system/media. Should replace the one that is already there. Check your system folder and put it wherever your current one is. You'll need to rename it bootanimation.zip.
Thanks!!!!

Sure thing. Post your results if you would. And also which ROM you're currenlty running?
I tried Rom SC2.6, Stock Eb01 Deodexed, and SC 2.7.1. All I get is a blank screen during boot up.
Edit: n00b mistake....I got it to work now! Works on all three roms I mentioned above.
Can anyone post the download for the animation and pretty much how to make it my boot animation? I'm alright with reflashing a rom, currently on Bionix 1.3.1 by Team Whiskey.
Thanks!
Don't expect others to just give you things.
Just so you learn...
Download one of the NERO roms ( i'm guessing nero is where this boot animation is )
Then extract it on your computer
then go to system/media on the files
take out
bootanimation.zip
and put that on your SD CARD on phone
now replace the bootanimation.zip from the nero to w/e you want.
Just make sure your rom supports boot animations some don't.
PM me if you have trouble following his steps.
You will have to use Root Explorer from the market to move the bootanimation.zip file from your sd card to the system/media folder.

Correct, but Root Explorer is paid only.
Use ASTRO if you want a free and same-as-root-explorer-way i use root explorer, tbh it looks and is simpler.
Scratch that last post. I just figured it out.

Simply replace and set permissions.
cwm zip file does not work on cm7
unzipped the file myself and replaced bootanimation.zip in /system/media/ and it worked flawlessly (changed permissions to rw-r--r--)
good job nottach!

I hate to be a noob, but I just want to be safe. Can you change boot animations on stock rooted or do you need to have a custom rom flashed. Is it really as easy as copy and pasting. Along with renaming your old animation.zip

Yup, it's that easy. This was one of the first things I tried after rooting. Just make sure the file permission are set correctly on the new bootanimation.zip folder or you will get a default "android" bootanimation.
Should be:

Thanks a bunch. Just don't want anything bad happening since my Captivate bricked

Love this boot animation. Best one I've seen by a phone builder.
Any way to make this a live wallpaper? Can't find where the foldr is in root explorer.

Do you still have the captivate? If so I may be able to fix it for you and if I can't I know Josh from mobiletechreviews.com probably can. I would try for the cost of shipping with no guarantees, Josh charges a reasonable fee but it would be worth it to have it working for a backup. Have you tried using a jig on it to get into download mode?
You can pm me and hopefully if you still have it we can get it running for you again.

Sorry I'm a little confused on how to get this working. I'm on CM7. Downloaded it. Went to root explorer and cord and pasted it to system/media and set permission but when I rebooted it was standard CM7 boot up. Did I need to extract the zip to media folder? Sorry for the confusion never messed with boot img before
Edit. Ok I tried extracting and I got a folder named bootanimation and I fixed permissions on that one also and rebooted but no luck :-\

So, I take it the only way to get it is to:

Copy off the zip
Install the custom ROM
Then replace the boot animation with the one copied from the RUU?
Hey download powerISO or powerarchiver from Google
Than open that IMG file in it and extract the files you want.

Well I have no idea why you like the Stock boot animation it's kind of irritating and loud but whatever.
You can also change the bootanimation by going into customize > resource > then finding the TMOUS_bootanimation.zip
Find a bootanimation you like and rename it to TMOUS_bootanimation.zip
You can also change the downanimation (the boot for when it get turned off.) Do the same thing except rename it back to TMOUS_downanimation.zip . :good:

Using my daughter's words "it's so cute!" lol.
I've used MANY custom ROMs (as well as the stock ones, obviously) across a few different android devices, and I've never really liked any of the boot animations that much, but for some reason I just really like the little android rocket! I'll probably get sick of it after a while, but I plan to upgrade phones as soon as the new Xperia 1l comes out (hopefully T-Mo will carry it because I kinda need the wifi calling).
I'm still trying to find a downanimation I like... So far the one that's on your latest ROM is pretty cool.
