My custom bootanimation is now complete and ready. Sorry if you want to see it you will have to go to youtube and search android animation as I can't post links.
How about a GIF?
Will do when i get a chance bit busy at the mo.
Changed the loop at the end to a colour mix of droid.
You install this how?
The method I use is with root explorer on the android market as it gives you the freedom to change system files. What I do is download a bootanimation.zip to my sdcard then I open up root explorer and find the bootanimation.zip. Once I've found the zip I copy it and move it to system /media. I paste the zip overriding the old one that's it all is left to reboot there are other ways with emulator and sdk but I find root explorer easyest.

after trying several bootanimations i liked this the most...
see video
ww.youtube.com/watch?v=OgcfgvdzSso
download file
instructions:
1) download the bootanimation.zip file to your sd card.
2) use root explore (android market) as this can write to the system
top of screen, tap the mount button to r/w
then replace by copy/paste bootanimation.zip to /system/customize/resource
there is ur original bootanimation.zip file.
it will ask to overwrite the bootanimation select yes
then hightlight new bootanimation select permissions
user needs to be ticked as read and write
group needs to be ticked as read
others also ticked as read
press ok
reboot
these folder locations are for the sense based roms or stock
for cyanogen/aosp just need to place the bootanimation in /data/local/
people who cant buy the app root explorer because of recession ( but can buy DHD ) just use super manager ( download from market ) . you have to enable root in settings and enable r/w when asked.
enjoy
thanks - this is cool
I like it a lot
Have installed it
Android Flashed tool is great for this
But you do need to remove battery to reboot or is is stuck with the animation running.
i still don't understand how to install it. Where do i copy and paste the animation from. Because root explorer doesn't explore the sd card does it?
copy it from the location you downloaded it. ( if you are not familiar with root explorer try super manager )
paste to the location
/data/local/ ( since you have cm rom )
for sence rom paste it to location
/system/customize/resource

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Root explorer explores ALL spheres of your phone... Scroll down after you press root explorer. You should see " sdcard ".. Hope this helps ;o)

AS ALWAYS...
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE AS A RESULT OF USING THIS CONTENT, JUST AS IT IS NO ONE ELSES FAULT FOR ANY DAMAGE I MIGHT DO TO MINE. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW THE RISKS INVOLVED, YA MIGHT JUST BE BETTER OFF STICKING WITH STOCK. It's not that complicated, just do a little research. Plenty of knowledge floating around XDA...
Simple enough:
1:: download the .zip
2:: rename it (using ES File Explorer or Astro or any ROOT EXPLORER that will allow you to MOUNT SYSTEM AS WRITABLE) by simply cutting out the description so that it is just bootanimation.zip
3:: copy or cut the bootanimation.zip and paste it in the system/media folder
4:: you will be warned that the merge will overwrite the existing file and that the world will end (not really, just accept the merge)
REBOOT
CAUTION: DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE ECLIPSE WITHOUT PROPER EYEWEAR

Imagine it works on V2
Hey folks,
just a quick one for those who are interested. You can set a custom Bootup Animation. Most/All Animations you find online will work. Mind though, with the Mate 7 you won't be able to use provided flushable Zip files. So here's a short how-to
1. Download the Animation you want
1.1 Determine if the zip is a flashable file or the Animation itself (both are zip files)
If you don't now, unpack the file. If its folders named "Part1, Part2,..." You have the Animation. If you see a "System" folder, it's flashable.
1.2 in case of flushable: Browse to "\System\Media" and save the zip file on your PC
2. Push the Zip File to your Phone (Anywhere you are able to find it again )
3. Use a Root Explorer on your Phone (i like ES Explorer) and mount your "root" as RW (google the exact steps for your chosen Explorer)
4. Copy the "boot animation.zip" to "\cust\preinstalled\pubilc\media"
5. Reboot and Enjoy
Just for you, i'll add the Stock Android L Bootanimation:

Hello People,
Today i am going to show you how to extract bootanimation.zip from apk. So lets begin,
You would want to apply custom boot animation like the CM theme engine but as the animations in cyanogenmod are in apk format, you cannnot apply them on other Roms. But now don't worry now i have got a way to apply them to non-cyanogenmod devices.
Requirements :
Boot animation apk. I will use the one given below.
File explorer (I would use Es file explorer)
Steps :
Navigate to the downloaded apk and long press it.
Under the 3 dot menu select extract to and extract the apk.*
Now you will find the bootanimatio.zip file in assets folder.*
Now*go to the root folder and navigate through system>media.**Once there locate your current bootanimation.zip file
Long-press your current bootanimation.zip file, and click copy, as we'll want to have a backup just in case. Paste it wherever convenient for you OR simply change the extension from .zip to .bak
Once your new bootanimation.zip has been selected for moving, navigate back to system > media and paste it there. You'll have to overwrite your current animation zip, but that's fine since you have a backup in case something goes wrong. Go for it.
For many of you, the previous step will be the last step. But, if for any reason you're still stuck with you old animation, you can try aligning the permissions of your newly-copied bootanimation.zip file with the permissions in the system/media folder. In our case, those were rw-r-r. Just long-press your new bootanimation.zip file and click Permissions and change them until they fit. The logic behind these abbreviations goes like this: Owner - Group - Other. Read for 'r', Write for 'w', and Execute for 'x'. Save the changes and restart...
Done, Show this awesome boot animation to your friends.*
Note :
You are choosing to make these modifications, and dont point the finger at me for messing up your device.

Nubia Z17 Lite boot animation different
The Z17 Lite may be different than most phones in that it uses some more sub directories.
Load you zip file to System/media/theme/bootup instead of system/media.
I also cut all the picture and txt files and moved them to system/media/theme so the media manage would not find them.
