Sprint has the stock Sprint boot animation and shut down animation in /carrier/cust/poweron and /carrier/cust/power off, along with the boot and shut down sounds. These are the yellow spark animations. They also have the stock unbranded LG boot and shut down animations in /system/media.
To get rid of the yellow ones, just delete or rename the Zips and sounds(the ogg files) from /carrier/cust. This will leave you booting the stock LG animations, which have sound built in to the zip Im assuming because I don't have any sounds in there. LG Stock unbranded animations are in /system/media and you can change these to anything you like. Keep in mind, the bigger the animation the longer your boot up will take.
Deleting or disabling(rename with .bak on the end of the stock bootanimation.zip(like so, bootanimation.zip.bak)) the stock yellow animations in /carrier/cust decreases boot time significantly. The phone boots 3-4 times faster without those huge ugly yellow things.
I've seen a lot of questions about the initial LG screen with "Powered by Android" on it, the one that comes up as soon as you power on. That IS NOT a boot animation, it is the splash screen and part of the kernel. You can not change this(for now).
I made the mistake of pasting a boot animation in a random folder during a move of a few different files and forgot to move it to its proper place. I forget the exact folder it was in but it wasn't the right one(s) and it caused my animations in /system/media to stop working. So be careful. Make sure everything is named right, with the right permissions(rw-r-r), and in the right place, /system/media.
You should not have to deal with /carrier/cust after deleting the ugly yellow spark anis. All other boots and shut downs go in /system/media.
There seemed to be a ton of confusion on this and I am by no means an expert, if anyone has anything to add, feel free. I also had to write this up on Tapatalk so, sorry for that.

The boot sounds are also found in system/media/audio/ui just like on my lg optimus g. I deleted the carrier/cust/poweron and then replaced the ogg files in the audio/ui folder for my doctor who bootani.
Also the phone will boot up slower with bigger files in the bootanimation however the biggest difference is in how the bootanimation is made. What I mean specifically is the desc.txt in the bootani. Usually it looks something like
2560 1440 30
p 1 0 part0
p 1 0 part1
Top line is the resolution and fps.
second and third lines are telling it which folder to play and how(play once or loop until phone boots, etc)
BUT if the desc.txt has a 'c' instead of a 'p' before the second or third line, it forces the bootanimation to play thru its entirety before going to the home/lockscreen. So the desc.txt file above on a long bootani, the bootani would actually get cut off if it were longer than the time it takes to boot.
That's more in depth then you probably need to know unless you're making your own bootanimations(which there are already
numerous guides on xda to help you do so) but thought I'd just add it for good measure.
My cust/carrier/poweron amd poweroff folders are empty. I do see the various carrier animations in the /system/media folder though. Should we be able to simply rename the bootanimation_sprint.zip and the shutdownanimation_sprint.zip to *.bak?
Did you restore a tot?

Thanks for this. Was trying to get a boat animation to work and I couldn't. I deleted the Sprint ones and voila the boot animation worked no problem.
I literally couldn't understand why the boot animation I had wouldn't work... but you solved it. For that, thanks man!

Greetings,
I was wondering if someone could post the default splash screen for the thunderbolt. I have a boot animation that I really enjoy but would love to have the default splash screen back

I am interested in this as well...
You can always use an RUU to restore it, but it wipes the phone.
I wish i had that just to restore in case i had to go to VZW for something, but if i was, i would prob do an RUU anyway.
You might be able to extract it from a RUU... idk how though.
Well if someone could find the default image used as the splash screen then we could use this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928657&highlight=splash
Actually I think that program has the default splash included if you just click push without changing the image in the program.
If i remember right, the default screen is in the splash sticky in the theme section

I believe you guys are referring to the boot animation not the splash screen. The splash screen is the first thing you see. It says HTC. The boot animation and the accompanying mp3 are located in System/Media and the files you need are bootanimation.zip and FinalThunder.mp3
Try this... I just threw it together.
Thread moved to q&a.
Stock Thunderbolt splash screen
If you are truly looking for the splash screen, and not the boot animation, then you can find the stock Thunderbolt here, at the end of the first post > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1006999
I had this on my T-Bolt and I missed it. I had to make it 720 to fit our phones. I added a few extra frames since it renders faster now. This is the CRT shutdown animation upon restart or reboot, aka shutdown. This replaces the white and green HTC shut down screen. The download link file is named correctly (hTC_downanimation) for stock locations to replace the current in system/customize/resource. Your location and file name may vary pending your Rom. Make sure permissions are marked correctly. Backup or rename your current file so you can restore. If you wish to use in your rom or reduce file size please give thanks for my initial work. The screen shots are example not sequence shots. Use root explorer to replace the file.

Haha, that was pretty cool. Had to rename mine because it was simply downanimation.zip in the first place. Nice job though
I'm unable to get this working, sadly. I set permissions correctly and the filename is exactly the same as the original but I can't seem to get the effect to work at all. Any other suggestions?
EDIT: Would it be because I used root browser instead of your suggested program?
File explorer program won't make a difference. Did you rename the original one or try to copy over it?

Worked perfectly for me with Root Browser. Anyone who's having problems should double-check to make sure they have the new file named correctly.
I'm running Chubbz-Gruesome's Sense 4.1, It's a lovely ROM and the boot animation is cool because it was clearly build from scratch, But there are much better one's that I'd love to be running on my daily driver.
I've done the file explorer and it failed and made my phone spaz out and I had to reflash the rom, that sucked...
I really want to change it. It's the only thing bothering me with the rom.
Just checked a suggested threah, should I have to rename it to the same thing after I put it in?
Solved.
ALRIGHT! Figured it out, It has to be named the same thing as the original on your rom.
Good to know that you resolved it.
Have you tried the 3D Boot Animation? It's pretty cool.

I've ran it from Paranoid android and another one, I think MIUI and it is awesome, Once I found out how to do it i SWEAR I've changed it to 15 different one's I've upzipped my entire "ROM list" which is a real folder on my C drive haha. I have around 30 roms I keep them all. For things like this.
I have a few more questions, I'm trying to find a downanimation
I wanna take an bootanimation and rename is to down and see if it'll work... Think it will?? Does anyone have any education in this area? Or maybe editing a bootanimation to make it shorter and turning it into a downanimation, I wanna take the one from "Jelly-Belly" it's the nexus thing, which is awesome, and use it as my down. Hope it'll work.
NEXT QUESTION, The rom I'm running had a .mp3 in the folder with the bootanimation, It was some transformery sound, I deleted it haha, BUT! Can I find a sound snippet of something I want, Name it the same thing, and then reboot and enjoy my awesome booy animation along with my awesome sound!!! Please tell me I can!!!

Success With the sound, Coolest phone boot EVER!! haha, Now if I only had a downanimation, Mine is just a black screen for about 5 seconds.
Can I go even further to put sound on my downanimation once I get there? I wouldn't know what to name it is the only problem there if it is doable.

Here is an idea, instead of renaming the files every time, I just put all the files where I want them.
There should be a file called default.xml in the /system/customize/CID/ directory. Open this with a text editor and you can find the sections for boot animation and shutdown animation. Here you can just insert the names and locations of the files you want to launch for bootup or shutdown.
Hope this helps.

So you're talking about this portion of the xml right?
<BootAnimation animation="/data/local/bootanimation.zip" audio="/data/local/htc_boot.mp3" />
</BootConfiguration>
<ShutdownConfiguration>
<ShutdownAnimation image_png="/system/customize/resource/hTC_downanimation.zip" image="" fps="10" />
So theoreticly I can add audio="/data/local/htc_boot_2.mp3"/> between downanimation.zip" and image ""fps="10"/>
And if can I change the downanimations name to simply "downanimation.zip" and then put a custom there named simply "downanimation.zip" would that work? or does it need to be hTC_downanimation?

Can you flash Venom tweaks over any rom? I'm running a rom with Nocturnal Tweaks, I'm not sure if you can have more than one That'd be cool though.
And I've changed my boot, Trying to change my down, And add sound to the down.
So I tried making a custom boot animation for this thing and dropping it in /system/customize/resource/vzw_boot.zip where the stock boot animation is and it doesn't want to play. It just shows a black screen until it loads up the home screen. This is my first attempt at this and I looked up some information and looked at existing ones on the phone and I don't see what's different, though I'm sure it's a simple oversight on my part.
Anyway, here's the zip. It's just a goofy Windows 95 style bootanimation, modernized for Android. The low color kind of gives it a nice look for the era it's trying to imitate but also prevents the animation from being enormous.
try this one use root explorer or es file explorer to place in correct location and to set the permissions (rw r r)
or you can try this one
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9628638/dna/vzw_bootup.zip
let me know with one works for you
How do you change the boot animation for the G3? I tried the standard way of replacing the bootanimation.zip file in system/media, then changing the permissions, but it doesn't seem to be working. When I reboot the system, there is only a black screen while booting. Also, does anyone have a backup of the original boot animation? I forgot to make a backup while playing around with it.
I have had that some problem before also I just kept trying others until one worked. As far as the stock one I just renamed mine, I try not to delete that stuff. If no one helps you out I can get you a link when I get home tonight.

Which one were you trying to use, the desc file could have been incorrect or something with the images could be causing it
naming/placement
heres a stock one
when copying a new one over, just rename the stock one to bootanimation.bak & leave it in the media folder

Well i tried multiple edits of the desc file and it seems to be the pictures themselves
they're 480x800, i swear i remember being able to use lower resolution images for a bootanimation and it would still work but i think im mistaken
so request a 1440x2560 version
i have a batch file somewhere to automatically resize a list of images but i feel like it would stretch the images and make them look horrible

Darn. Thanks for trying!
Was doing it manually but too much work, now I just use Boot Animations app.. Much quicker
So not sure if this has been figured out or not but I was playing around with this last night. I attempted to use the Red Helix boot animation from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002893
I pulled the boot .zip file out of the flashable zip and downloaded it to my phone and moved it over with Root Explorer, changing the permissions to match the original file (which I saved and appended with .bak). Upon boot however, only the repeating portion plays.
As you all know the stock boot animation is four different sets of files, two for the Quick Circle case and two for the full screen. Each is the loading animation (plays once) and then the waiting animation (repeating until the home screen is ready). In the new boot animation I tried it's just a full screen loading and a full screen waiting animation in two folders. However as I stated above only the repeating portion plays for both the loading and waiting periods (I can tell when it switches as the screen flashes black in between). I tried matching the folder structure in my zip file to the stock animation (four folders and associated config file) but that resulted in the phone staying on the LG screen until the home screen was ready. I can't figure out how to get the actual loading portion of the animation to play. I don't mind just the repeating portion playing (it's a red Android mascot with a white/red light going in a circle underneath and looks pretty cool) but I'd still like to see the full animation.
Any ideas? Might it be related to the desired frame rate (45 vice stock 30)?

Bump! I've tried changing the desc file for the boot animation I'm using from say p 1 0 part0 to p 2 0 part0 for a maybe lucky fix, but no dice. I'd also really like to know what's going on with this.
I know it's an old thread, but I have an old school BIOS boot animation that does this too, only the repeating part of the animation shows up. I don't use the circle case and the option is switched off in the Display menu. Did you ever get a fix for this? Thanks.
