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
Sent From My Sweet Ass EVO LTE
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.

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.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance!
(do I need to convert the mp3 to an OGG file?)
I'm pretty sure it takes an mp3 file? Just put your mp3 file at /system/media/ and name it "boot_audio.mp3"
The instructions are repeated under Rom Control > General UI (they're greyed out under "disable call volume")
Ahhhhh I made a folder boot_audio.mp3, lol. Now the only system/media folder I have is in the ROM zip itself. Is that the one I put it in and reflash?

Well I thought I had it but when I was checking my failed work I noticed that my" boot_audio.mp3" is now a " boot_audio.mp3.ogg". I used Ghost Commander to move the file.
Just to clarify it isn't or is the system/media from the ROMs zip itself?
Thanks again, this battle is now a personal challenge, lol.
Ok, this is what you do.
1. Find an mp3 file you like (MP3 file, not an Ogg Vorbis file)
2. Name it "boot_audio.mp3" (case-sensitive)
3. Copy it into /system/media/ on your actual phone (NOT in the ROM zip unless you want to have to reflash your zip)
4. Change the permissions of the file to rw-r--r--.
5. Go to Settings > ROM Control > General UI and make sure that "Disable Boot Audio" is UNCHECKED
6. Reboot.
Thanks for the total walk through. Got it working this morning!

Is there a way to increase the volume of the boot_audio.mp3? Mine is playing ridiculously low for some reason.

I think the boot sound volume fix is already been applyed,the best fix is in the build prop: persist.sys.boot_volume=100. that's the loudest i, think it can get until the AOKPs find a way to increase it some other way. But as far as my understanding of this its a temporary hit and miss kinda deal. I maybe wrong here,if I am I'm sorry for the missleading post and will remove and or edit with correct info...(if needed but I think I'm right...lol..lol )

Not on the phone. You would have to load that mp3 into an audio editing program on a computer and increase the volume of the file itself.
HI, I'm also looking into increasing my boot audio volume I took a look at the build prop. But I can't find this line (persist.sys.boot_volume=100) anywhere do I just edit the file and write it into there? I'm running AOKP 7.3 also. PS I have used sound forge and Increased my Volume 1000% I only here a little Difference. Sorry If this Isn't the right place to ask this.

Download the zip file extract the files from it.
using software like root explorer copy the files from the folder in which they are saved to system/media/audio/ui replacing the old files and change their permissions to rw-r-r reboot enjoy
Or use the flashable zip and flash it using CWM...

If your rooted, in root explorer you'll see the option in top right corner to change from read only.

For ES File Explorer - Press Menu button, Settings, scroll down and tick "Mount File System" (mount /system as writable) option. Then you can edit the /system folder.

So, long story short I rooted my phone with the sole intention of getting rid of bloatware... I did that, and along with it deleted something I now regret. I deleted the file that allows you to choose live wallpapers(along with the wallpapers themselves.) Is there anyway for me to get this back without having to lose my phones current state? Thank you in advance.

If you are trying to replace a system app, you probably need to push it to system and set permissions as rw- r-- r--. Many system apps will not install.

You need a root level file browser app like ES File Explorer or Root Explorer. Navigate to where you have the file on your phone (I recommend putting it somewhere easy to find like Downloads folder), copy the apk (long press, select Copy). Go to the root of your phone. It's named / just that symbol. Then scroll down to system, tap that. Then tap app. Inside the /system/app folder paste the apk. Depending on which file browser you have, you change permissions differently.

Guys,
I can't post in the official thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/guide-headphone-speaker-volume-booster-t2819821
But I just wanted to confirm that if you root your device and follow the directions here, I've got confirmed working on the Sprint LS990 variant of this phone. The thread mentions nothing of this on Sprint or the LS990 but I can confirm that it is indeed working.
You'll need to:
1. Have root with SuperSU installed
2. Install Root Browser and 920 Text Editor (Available in market for free)
3. Navigate to system/etc and then mixer_paths.xml
4. Change file permissions to rw-r-r
5. Save to your downloads folder just in case you trash your phone or something
6. Navigate to markers mentioned in thread link above. The LS990 variant will have aforementioned markers listed approximately 15 lines later in the code. Edit them to your liking.
7. Save, reboot, pray not to get caught in limbo.
8. Enjoy having better sound than everyone else with a phone.
Just an FYI anyone attempting this: If you do not edit the permissions correctly when overwriting the file the phone will not boot. It will get stuck at the yellow sprint screen and you will have to preform a reset.
Root browser did not allow me to change permissions correctly and when going quickly I did not notice it when overwriting.
However, second attempt after recovery it worked great.
Thanks for the info TROPhouse
So i havnt edited yet but permissions look right here. Will they change after I edit and save. And then change them back right. I don't wanna get stuck since we have no custom recovery yet.
Did it. It was way worth sweatin through the reboot process. Haha.

I did 69 which seems perfect to be honest... I mainly hear music at the gym and usually use soundcloud... at 69, I don't even get close to full volume on the phone now. Its perfect
it seems like there are another few steps in this process that aren't being mentioned, like how to save the mixer_paths file because following the instructions and updating the lines I want to update then trying to save with 920 text editor ends with the message that it's a read only system file.

Don't know if this is too late to help, but...
I don't use 920, but my guess is there's an option somewhere (probably in settings for the app) to switch the file system to read - write mode, instead of read-only. I use the FX app, and that's what I had to do with it. Be sure to set it back to read-only when you're done.

SUCCESS!
So you need to download an app that will mount your system, I used an app called mount/system. You launch it then select Mount r/w. Once you do that you have the needed access to edit the files as listed. I used this guide as well and had success....hope this helps others!
copy the original mixer_paths to your memory by ES file
edit it by notepad++ on windows and put it again in your memory
copy it from internal to your /system
highlight it and set permissions rw r r
move it from /system to /system/etc/
reboot and enjoy
Has anyone tryied playing with bluetooth volume i cant find where to change it any sugestions?
Nice, I haven't had any issues with my phone being too quiet, but I also came from a Verizon G2. Those were noticeably horrible for volume levels, so the G3 is a welcome change.
In regards to all the questions about which app to use for which function:
You could use Root Explorer, or any other file explorer that has root capabilities (ES File Explorer, Total Commander). You do NOT need to use a specific app set and if your file explorer can't mount/unmount the system partition with root permissions, try a new one because that one sucks.
You also should not be downloading three separate apps to accomplish this. It's kind of overkill to have a file explorer, a text editor, and a system partition mounter when any decent file explorer has all three of those built in. I think ROM Toolbox even has all those capabilities in the free version.

Nice, I haven't had any issues with my phone being too quiet, but I also came from a Verizon G2. Those were noticeably horrible for volume levels, so the G3 is a welcome change.
In regards to all the questions about which app to use for which function:

Agreed but I downloaded ES File Explorer and several others and I was unable to find the ability to mount as r/w. If the option is in those apps, it's very much hidden so an app to mount your file system then an editor was what I needed and it worked.

ES's current interface does hide a lot, and is in almost every way inferior to the original interface. But the option is there. It's also in FX (File Explorer) which is my root editor of choice.
the pursuit of sound quality! bullet for my valentine cant be heard on stock!!!!!!!
tried this. guess i messed up. stuck on spark screen. sat and read through the pages here. gotta fix my phone when i get home tonight.
what did you change you volume levels to?
So can those who have successfully made the edits share what volume levels you changed and what are the new numbers? I've made the change to mine and even with my $100 earphones there's distortion at what I feel is a low level. I'm thinking maybe there's a balance among these that I need to achieve?
thanks!
