Rooted-Yes, Im running task650's AOKP 4.2.2 ROM with the stock kernel.....i.e. i haven't flashed another kernel, using the one which is there by default in the rom

You need a root explorer. Pick the bootanimation.zip that you want. Go in system/media folder...find the bootanimation.zip there...back it up. Move the bootanimation.zip that you want into the system/media folder....change permissions to rw/r/r. Reboot phone.
Edit: Make sure it is not a flashable bootanimation...if it is, to do the steps above...you must first extract the bootanimation.zip from the flashable file. Enjoy!

If you're using task's ROM go to settings/ ROM control/ general ui/ custom boot animation/ and choose the boot animation that you downloaded. Its that easy.....you should research a little more....enjoy

Stock bootanimation

Hey I wanna ask if you guys can provide me with stock bootanimation? Since I just flashed CF-Root (after flashing XXKPH) and it replaced my stock bootanimation with its own. So yeah, thanks in advance who can provide me with it.

CF-root IS supposed to replace your stock bootanim . I'm sorry but there is NO way to go back to stock .
I am asking for stock "bootanimation.zip". I know IT is supposed to change my bootanimation.

Your bootanimation.zip = bootanimation.qmg
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA App
You both are wrong.
What I did was that I copied "bootsamsung.qmg" from "/system/media/" to "/data/local/" and deleted "bootanimation.zip" from there and it worked.

[How To] Enable Custom Boot Animation (1.4.0 +1.4.1)

Here is a simple fix to enable custom bootanimation
Steps:
1. flash the attached zip using CWM
2. copy your favorite bootanimation.zip to /system/media folder and set permission to 644 (all read, top write)
3. reboot
Notes:
1. Make sure you use the correct zip or you'll end up in bootloop
2. 1.4.1 fix requires change to the kernel (boot.img), so please do a CWM backup first and do it at your own risk

I have succesfully changed boot animation in CM7 alpha with rom toolkit from Google Market. There are over 50 animations to choose from. Maybe you can figure out a script to add these to stock rom or will they flash over wifhout bootloop?

Thanks but this Rom Manager I can find from market.
I'm referring to the Rom Toolkit that c64 mentioned which has 50 bootanimations. That I can't find.

Ok, yall, just flash in CWM.... no bug questions cause you extracted them and tried to manually put them in your rom...

Im on electrons stock and my phone went into boot loop. had to reflash rom with just a delvik/cache wipe and all is back to normal.
what does this do?
I have only noticed subtle or slight differences. Such as brightness upon opening some things starting off dim then getting brighter and some windows slowly increasing in size after opening.

Changing Boot Animation with Stock ICS

I have a rooted galaxy tab 10.1 wifi using stock ics and the A1 kernel v2.1, is their a way to change the boot animation? I've tried installing it to /data/local/ with no luck and even tried /system/media/ but nothing worked. Can anybody help? Thanks in advance!

Its not that easy some times. The system that handles the bootanim is stock and there for not easy at all to change. Its some strange file standard. If you look in the system/media you find some files related to bootanim the file ending is sonething like qmd. You can google on that and try to mod it.
The easy way is to wait for some poor rom cook to change system.

I did a search on what you said and came across this link:
Code:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/15962-ei2romodincwmtweakstock-v14-updated-2712/
. If you checkout the changelog, it says that it changes the /system/media/ directory to where you can just name it a certain thing and it'll work and for this, all you have to do is flash it using CWM recovery. What do you think about this? Do you think it's safe?

Hi
No that rom is for an other unit. Its important to not flach wrong rom.
It need to be supported by the kernel. The creator of kernel A1 knows about this problem with bootanim. And its a hard to fix.

There's no need to flash another ROM,and any ROM contains it's kernel in it's own package,you can go to this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709693
Here you'll see some bootanimations made for gtab 10.1...
Note that flashing these packages doesn't harm you device but may cause issues if they're not made for your version,for example cm9 went into a bootloop or didn't show the bootanimation when I flashed a bootanim...

Galaxy S4 CWMBoot custom Boot Animation

Had this custom boot animation for the Galaxy S4 made from JaeKar99 over at DroidRzr.com >> http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/user/35656-jaekar99/
This is all his work, I just asked for something and he made it. All credit goes to him.
Installation:
Must be rooted
Download the CWMBoot.zip attached
Unzip and extract files.
Using a root explorer, navigate to />system>media and rename bootsamsungloop.qmg and bootsamsung.qmg by placing .bak on the end.
Copy bootsamsungloop.qmg and bootsamsung.qmg that you previously extracted and place in />system>media
Reboot and enjoy your new animation.
An image of what the boot looks like is attached.
Love this!
Thanks!
Will it work on ANY ROM?

No; the CWM in the file name stands for clockworkmod recovery not cyanogenmod. If you ever used Clockworkmod recovery its the progress animation that is depicted in this boot animation.
