I have ICS and sense 4 and I would like to install my own custom boot animation. I have the zip file however I do not know where to put the zip file. The original bootanimation.zip is not in its usual location of data/local. I also did a search on root explorer for bootanimation and it could not come up with any results. So I ask of you, wonderful community, where is the bootanimation.zip located in ICS.
System/customize/resource.

is it possible to pull a boot animation from another Rom? if so how do i do it?
Yes you can do it. I won't get too in depth cause there are several threads explaining how, but copy whatever bootanimation you want to SD card first. Then depending on what ROM you have the bootanimation could either be in /data/local, /system/media, or in stock ROM i believe /system/customize/resource. Rename the stock bootanimation to bootanimation.zip.bak in case you want to revert then copy your new bootanimation to same folder and make sure the filename is bootanimation.zip and the permissions match what the previous one was which is (rw-r--r--). Reboot and your done. Same thing can be done with the downanimation also.
Thanks found an animation from another ROM I liked and wanted to put it on ROM I like using

Take the bootanimation.zip file of the animation you want and place it in /system/media/
Can you point us to some nice boot screens!
If you have Root Explorer then this is one way of doing it:

(it includes having to rename the .zip)
I have installed Kangs CM9 ICS and absolutly love it. Thank you Devo Team for all the work that you all do and definite thumbs up on all.
I would like to change my boot animation and i have followed the directions of some posts and it has not worked.
Applying zip from sdcard in CWM recovery. Renaming the animation to bootanimation.zip and moving to the system folder under media and it wont move or work.
I am using the CWM touch that i have found in the forums and using CM9 like i said.
What can i do to change the animation?
If you have a bootanimationn.zip file just use root explorer and copy it into the /system/media folder just overwrite the existing or rename it prior to copying over the new one. Just make sure you mimic the permissions of the original.
Sent from my MB860(Atrix) Running CM9 and OC'd using xda premium
how do i mimic the permissions
Copy bootanimation.zip with Root Explorer, navigate to system/media, enable read/write with Root Explorer when in system/media, paste the bootanimation.zip into system/media, long press on bootanimation.zip, select permissions from menu, set permissions to RW/R/R, then reboot.

Boot animations must be placed in /system/media and the file must be named bootanimation.zip
Just copy/paste the bootanimation.zip to /system/media using ES File Explorer (make sure Root Explorer is enabled).

What boot animation are you getting on startup? Make sure you delete the existing one(if there is one).

I rename the original to OGbootanimation.zip then I copy the new on into the folder. That way I can delete the experimental file and name the original back if the experimental file won't work. It saves a few steps.
Make sure you're moving the zip file and don't extract it or use CWM on it.
Hm, is it boot animation.zip or sanim.zip?
Have you tried searching the Seraphim thread?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I927 using xda premium
Like others have said, you just need to rename the zip to bootanimation.zip and place it in your system/media folder using ES File Explorer (what I use) or Root Explorer. Then reboot and wallah.
It's never not worked for me. I'm currently running Unofficial CM9, and I replaced the Cyanogen boot with the Galaxy Nexus ICS boot animation, to keep Android tasting Vanilla...
Make sure the permissions are rw-r--r--

make sure u have the correct kernal that allows bootanimation, another is to unzip it and rezip as store, there should not be any compression with a bootanimation.zip., if u want to upload it, i will test it.
i have an 3.0.8-perf-i717uclc5-cl281649 kernel and how can i upload the bootanimation.zip so you can test it??

Wow, that might be the world's most boring animation, but it's still cool to have, so thank you!
Has anybody made the other boot animation with the triangles from Jelly Bean yet? Just watched the video on YouTube about it. Much much better animation!

I did this:
rename to bootanimation.zip
place on your sdcard,
move to /system/media
set permissions to rw--r--r
reboot
Nothing happened. Same old boot screen. Am I supposed to unzip the bootanimation.zip file?

What did you use to move to the /system/media folder?
Is your file system mounted as writable?

Make sure your file system is mounted as writable. I used ES File Explorer and did all the steps, and it didn't work. So I checked the ES settings and it wasn't "Mounted as writable". Once I fixed that, and did the exact same steps, it worked. The animation looks great.

Hi. I just tried that and it didn't work either. Just moving the bootanimation.zip to the \system\media is all I need to do (besides setting the permissions)? There is no other bootanimation.zip file in the media folder. How does the phone know to use the bootanimation.zip file when booting? Thanks.
Guess this will not work on stock OCS.
Does anyone have a bootanimation that is in the default Samsung format

What rom are you on? Custom boot animation may not be supported.
Is your current boot animation the android logo? There was no other bootanimation.zip in the folder for me, until I placed the renamed JB one.
here's my complete list of steps, that produced the desired results for me on Black*STAR IV ics rom:
*dl file to PC, renamed to bootanimation.zip placed in dropbox
*extracted to external sd card from dropbox app on phone
*moved to /system/media/ folder with ES file explorer (with mounted as writable, and all root options enabled)
*set permissions using Rom Toolbox's root browser
*rebooted phone and enjoyed animation
Mine does samsung logo samsung logo, android logo, then booted up.
Permissions set in ROM toolbox. Bootanimation.zip.
Must be my ROM's animation, (the android letters) needs removed?
Permisions is RW-R--R--
