I recently created a nice boot animation for the Honor 8, but I don't have an Honor 8. In fact, I have a Samsung, so I'm unable to test it since the formats are different. I just need someone with an Honor 8(1080x1920 display) who can test this for me and let me know if it plays properly(ie. the timing is right, etc.) before I post it.
To test YOU MUST HAVE ROOT, a custom recovery like TWRP installed & some experience with flashing zips and backing up your device in case you need to restore. Much appreciated. Thank you!

Oh I wish I could help mate. I'm keeping my phone as stock for now but I'm sure that I will root before long.
When I do I will help with all the testing that you need.
I'm sure you will soon have a line of people ready to test.
Thanks for putting the effort into our phone.
Just one question.
Why the Honor 8 if you don't own one ?.

Good choice mate.
This is gonna be some phone in the future.
They seam to have made it to play with.
From what I have read it's gonna be very hard to brick.
I will definitely help you in the future.
At the mo I'm needing good reasons to start rooting this phone.
I used to get a phone out the box and root straight away but not with this one (so far)
I do have other phones to play with though ( nexus 5)

Hey Friend! I dont got the Honor 8, but I got the Honor 7, with twrp, root, and modded rom.. i would gladly test your boot Animation i thinks its roughly the same system on 7 and 8.. and my 7 got 1080x1920 screen?

Yeah you really only need a device with the same screen resolution to test this. I sent you the link in a PM. Thank you!
Ok. Does anyone know why you can't change the boot animation on the Honor 8 and Honor 7? It seems that even with root and TWRP it's still preventing this rather simple change. I had someone test my animation on their device and it flashes fine, but it doesn't change the animation for them, even when replacing the bootanimation.zip file with the proper permissions manually. I make animations all the time, so it should work just fine, but what could it be that's not allowing the change? Any ideas? :/
UPDATE: The person testing for me just tried deleting his bootanimation.zip completely and rebooting and it still shows the stock boot animation on boot, so there must be a master copy that it keeps copying from somewhere that's writing over my animation on boot. Any help? Ideas? :/

The boot animation on the Honor 8 is located in the following directories depending on the device:
/version/special_cust/FRD-L04/hw/usa/media
/version/special_cust/FRD-L09/hw/usa/media
/version/special_cust/FRD-L14/hw/usa/media
If you remove the bootanimation.zip located there it seems to default again to /system/media/
So if you're making a twrp script, you may want to try having it remove the bootanimation.zip located in /version/special_cust/FRD-L04/hw/usa/media

I wonder if I can just have it replace the animation in both locations, making a zip for each(L04, L09, L14, etc.) If I could identify which variants have which FRD folder, then maybe I could just list the files as such.

It really isn't that complicated. Huawei ignored using /system/media and instead made their own directory (aka special_cust) which contains bootanimations. Each device has a product name/number (aka FRD-L04, FRD-L14, FRD-L09, etc). The folders in there correspond with the product name/number of each region specific device. So, I have a FRD-L04, so my folder is /version/special_cust/FRD-L04/
My suggestion however was to simply remove the FRD-L## folder inside /special_cust/, then just apply your bootanimation to /system/media. This way it'll work on any device.

The guy who was testing for me actually had an Honor 7, but said he tried replacing my animation with the Huawei folder one and ended up in a bootloop. His folders were a little different though. I think his was in the "etc" folder, but it kind of had me wondering if those folders maybe need to be there. Maybe I just need to replace the one in special_ cust. If I made you one that just replaces the L04 one could you maybe test it for me?

Still need someone to test it before I upload it for everyone. I already made the file. I can PM you the link if you don't mind doing it. I just want to make sure that it works and that the animation runs smoothly.

Does anyone have a working bootanimation.zip without the AT&T logo? I tried editing the original one but I ended up with a blank boot animation screen.
you should be able to search the forum for whatever boot animation you want. Granted they won't be the proper resolution if you pick one with black edges you will be fine. I was using one on a previous flash just fine.
I'll try to find the thread where I found mine

I tried those animations and they worked fine, but I still wish I could keep the original animation.
Boot Animations, while can be tricky and a headache, are customizable if you can adjust the image sizes, etc.
For example, the Motorola Atrix can use up to 540x960 for the resolution. You can also add custom sounds at load by saving an OGG audio file to /system/media (same location as the bootanimation.zip) and adding it accordingly to the desc.txt file. Below is an example.
Code:
540 960 1
p 1 10 part0
s autodestruct.ogg
p 0 0 part1
The first line is the resolution and the frames per second.
Code:
"540 960" Resolution "1" Frames Per Second (each individual image)
The second line defines a Part. For example, the first animation you want to play. So far for me, this is the animation AFTER the Dual Core logo that plays when I've made mine.
Code:
"p" Depicts this is a Part "1" Repeat this many times (0 is infinite) "10" is the delay in frames before the next Part "part0" is the directory within the zip to load this part from
So far easy right? The next line, is for the audio file. If the OGG has a loop point, the audio will loop until the Part is over that it plays within.
Code:
"s" Depicts a sound "autodestruct.ogg" The filename to load from /system/media
A few more examples of loading parts............
To load a Part that is a single image, that loops till boot is done, use this
Code:
p 0 0 "directory_name_here"
I'll try to post some example bootanimation.zip files with explanations if I get time. I've only made a couple so far for my company out of boredom.

So this doesn't break anything? Will I be able to update my phone when an update is out, without having to restore the original bootanimation.zip?

I recommend using your file explorer to rename the original bootanimation.zip on your phone to something like bootanimation_original.zip then put in your custom if you have any worries.
That way, if you go to update just rename custom to bootanimation_custom.zip and restore the original.
Personally, I do not know if the boot animation file will affect updates, but that is a failsafe for you just in case.

Ohh, so what you want is the default bootanimation without the ATT part!
I've personally never worked with bootanimations before, but using MrSER's guide above, i'll try to do that for you.
EDIT: yea... I only get the blackscreen too, really weird...
EDIT 2: figured it out. if you're using WinRAR, when you go to make a .zip, choose "store" instead of "normal" compression, and it should work just fine. I have attached the Default bootanimation.zip without the ATT part

My bad mate, forgot to mention that. I make mine with Winzip 15 Pro and set it to No Compression (from my experience, no compression is a requirement).
I may end up doing a tutorial on all this on my blog. If I do, I'll post a copy here and link as well (I like screenshots on my blog, lol).

thanks for the bootanimation.zip, i did chmod 644 it before cp to /system/media to match the perms on the original bootanimation.zip, but i did a reboot and it worked fine. it's nice not having the att logo during boot, and having att removed from the notification bar with the ginerblur mod too. feels good man!

Just find a boot animation that you like, download the zip file, rename it to bootanimation.zip and then go into your system/media folder and change the name of the current bootanimation to anything you want like bootanimationold.zip. Then put the new zip file in the system/media folder and there you go. You do not need to move the old boot animation file as long as you change the name.
of course, the method I'm describing is relevant if you have rooted your phone and you have something like Root Explorer, otherwise you will need to use adb, but still you need root.

im having a similiar problem on my rooted atrix. I tried to change my bootanim and just gives me a black screen, so i tried to change it back to the orignal and nothing. I checked if the zip was compressed and it isnt. i dont know what i did wrong, i didnt touch anything but the zip
This is just a quick and easy way to download and set your bootanimation. I didn't make these so credits go to them I just created the video and links to some of the better threads here on XDA. Some are Galaxy Nexus animations but look quite good on the Transformer.

INSTEAD of putting it in /system/media/ and deleting and/or backing up your old bootanimation as talked about, just put your new one into /data/local/ and presto.... done. No delete, no backup and when your done with it just delete yours from that location and the stock bootanimation kicks back in as /data/local just overrides the stock location of /system/media/ much easier, faster and less effort and no chance of ooops

noob question alert
Hi ppls, sorry in advance for my noobishness...
I'm just looking for one small straight answer about loading boot animations:
Do you have to root a Transformer Prime with ICS to replace the boot animation in either location? I was under the impression that the data/local/ folder didn't require rooting - am I incorrect in this assumption? I just keep getting 'permission denied' messages when attempting to alter the data folder... if it is possible can someone tell me what the heck I am doing wrong??
To stop you all foaming at the mouth at my obviously stupid noobish question, here's a Portal/Aperture Science PC retro boot animation I made for myself based off the ascii art in the credits of Portal 1:

mine is stuck on the boot animation. Any suggestions?
If anyone is looking for anything custom boot animation wise for the prime send me a PM and we can hash out what you want to do. I have been building them for the primalicious rom if at all interested. Props to the OP for compiling the list.

I haven't seen anyone mention of it yet. Does anyone know how to get custom boot animations in the bootanimation.zip format working? I've already tried all posted fixes for other Samsung note devices with no success. Best I've gotten was a blank screen during boot. Any suggestions?

I haven't seen anyone mention of it yet. Does anyone know how to get custom boot animations in the bootanimation.zip format working? I've already tried all posted fixes for other Samsung note devices with no success. Best I've gotten was a blank screen during boot. Any suggestions?

There a few custom bootanimation threads - I believe you need a .bin file from one of these and you should be able to use it for other .zip files...
Look for lion king bootanimation in this forum, you might need to go back a little while though....

furst make sure busybox is installed correctly on you're device.
then flash: bootanimationON
download here:

this will make a backup from you're system/bin/bootanimation and make a bootanimation.bak file
and replace with mod bootanimation file to use bootanimation.zip
this is to restore: to go back to standard qmg

you also need you're bootanimation.zip you want to use
this zip needs to be placed in system/media.
"AFTER" you put this bootanimation.zip in system/media "THEN" flash bootanimationON
works 100.1% sure
enjoy
Ill give it a shot later. I tried the files for the note 3 without success.
Update- thanks for the file. Works great. Custom animation worked immediately after flashing.

I modified this one from another zip I found online to not "loop" and drop the framerate to 30fps. Backup your bootanimation and shutdownanimation zip files in /system/media and replace with these, set permissions, and reboot.

I swear I'm not just trying to be ignorant or beat you up here by saying this, but I just thought it was kind of funny because you basically just asked a question and then answered yourself all in one sentence. Anyway to answer your question (again lol) though, yes you do need to have root in order to do this because without it the directory where the files need to be pasted will be "read only", and you will not the have the access needed in order to change it. Hope it helps [emoji106].

Boot splash needed to hide the orange triangle.
I came from the note 5 and the were severeral roms and an aroma zip that totally modded the way androids looked just starting up. No lg. no t mobile. no triangle. I wish i even knew how to start out or who to pass the information along to. To have some overall pleasant experience.

Needs to be rooted. After you back up and replace the files, you need to reboot into TWRP, find the files, hit chmod and set to 644

you could. but make sure it has the right resolution for your phone. Not quite sure what happens when you used low or oversized res bootanims. and make sure its named bottanimation.zip
System is write protected. we can only read or delete files on system but won't replace ir change it. Maybe your device not boot if you do this.
If you just remove the animation from the system, the system will boot as Android.
Definitely don't try to replace the animation with another one when the system is running. If there was a bootlop, you would have no way to fix it.
You can safely replace the animation only in recovery, in case of a bootlop you can put it back in recovery. If recovery allows you to exchange.

maybe thats why when I tried to copy the new animation inside root folder I couldnt paste it there...yeah I dont think I will do any animation replace as I am very new at this and this is my first time flashing a rom even... I'll just wait for any pros to do it first... Thanks a lot for your warning.

Yes, sadly Magisk is the only feasible way to do it with A/B device, or build the rom, at least the /system image, by ourself with other bootanim
the bootanimation.zip file is present at system/product/media
also, you will find another bootanimation.zip in product/media
