Hi there ppl, here I post you a link to a lil modified version of the original honeycomb rip boot animation that will work in our Arias fullscreen. Is just the dimensions changed in the desc.txt file but it'll save you sometime (as I had to go all the way to get how boot animation worked q: )
Here how it looks on a Nexus S: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrAoqgAzKyQ
If you're running CM7 it should be as simply as replacing the bootanimation.zip located in /data/local/ with this one (use root explorer or ES file explorer with root explorer option to navigate there). If you're running another ROM (and you dont have a bootanimation at /data/local/) take the second version and flash it in recovery. Not sure if that would work (havent tried) but it'll replace the animation found at /system/media/ folder as our Arias are s-on still.
Bare Version (just drop it in /data/local/)
Recovery Flasheable Version (replaces bootanimation found at /system/media/)
Neither way works breh
Edit: CM 7rc

There's really no science to have it, you just need to replace the bootanimation.zip in /data/local/ (that folder is hidden, you need root explorer to get in there, is in the phone memory, not the sdcard)

The original is in /system/media. Putting a bootanimation.zip in /data/local will supercede the original. It looks great on the aria. Thanks for the port.
It should work on any rooted phone, CM or not.
Also, there's no need to use root explorer. Just place bootanimation.zip on your sdcard root and open Terminal Emulator:
su
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local/
reboot

Works like a charm.
Some of the versions floating around have white flashes between the loops - this one fixes that:

Perhaps I did it wrong, but the image appears rather pixelated to me during load up.
Awesome. Cheers!

The white flashes happens when there are foreign files inside the folder with the PNGs. In most case, a certain thumb.db hidden file I think we all have meet before

Thanks this is awesome. Took me a while to install it. Running liberated 2.2 based on the gratia release and none of the above methods worked. Finally replaced the boot file in system/customize/resource with this one and flashed the whole Rom thru recovery no wipes. Worked perfectly.

Wow, it looks great and the install was a piece of cake. I don't really spend much time watching the phone boot, but it's cool anyway.
awesome boot animation, but i'm curious about changing the boot image like the one in the video to like a picture in my gallery?
thanks for this!! worked like a charm.
can't get it working, running FR008.
HTC White-screen
I used Root Explorer to drop the file into the right folder, and when I rebooted the phone (multiple times), it got stuck at the HTC Screen.
Not worth the hassle...at least for something that lasts less than a minute.
Did it wow for a complete noob, if no one doesn't know how to do this shouldn't be rooted at all lol.
1. Get root explorer
2. Download his bare version and put it right on ur sd card so u can find it
3. Then go to phone on root explorer go out of where it first takes u via back button
4. Copy the bootanimation.zip
5. Then it'll have a option to paste hit back button it will take u back to where u were
6. Go to data/local/ and hit paste
7. Reboot and watch the awesome boot!

Better yet:
Copy the bootanimation.zip file to the ROM zip file (system/media folder) and THEN copy the ROM file to your device using your choice of file exchange.
The first thing I do with new ROMs is to delete the files I don't want or need (like the language files) and add those I want to have (e.g., the original CM7 email app that supports color-coding accounts).
You can also replace the ROMs bootanimation the same way.
I've significantly reduced the size of the ROM by getting rid of unnecessary ring tones (who needs 50 of them?), programs (e.g., ROM Manager), and wallpapers (e.g., smoke, other useless ones).
I can shave typically 5-7 MB off the size, which may not seem like a lot, but helps.
Sometime I forget there is a main page on xda. That is a sweet bootup animation, but when I put the .zip onto my card and try to flash it I get a fail message. Can anybody make this flashable for the epic?

You need to take the bootanimation.zip and replace the one in data/system using a file browser that allows r/w permissions.

The animation looks great! I was wondering how to add a sound to the bootup. I've read to just throw an audio_android.mp3 into /system/media, but that isn't doing anything for me.

i broke down and bought root explorer and did what they said. there is a toggle in root explorer that does R/O and R/W and if you long press a file (like .zip or .apk) permissions will be in the sub menu select it (permissions isn't in the free version) there is a 3x3 grid of check boxes and most of them are selected, select them all. then long press the item and select move.
the boot zip goes to system/media paste it asks if you're sure say yes, if it says it's read only toggle that little button on the right hand corner to r/w and try paste again.
to change the MMS to black and bubbless (iphone esh) same thing only paste it in the system/apps and paste
reboot, look at your new splash screen and minimal MMS
i tried the free stuff but having to toggle between two apps was a pain and I've been using root explorer for installing transparent .apk and moving files around so it's paid for it's self. Even though i tried to buy it / refund it after i was done with it.

Where did you obtain the files to work on the boot up screen? How well is yours still working? (This next one is a bum questuon) any chance of providing your end product? I'm curious to what this boot screen looks like and couldn't find anything on the article about it.
Thanks for the reply!!!

I find using adb while hooked to a computer is the easiest for filesystem modifications. That's mainly because I'm really used to linux in general though, command lines are fairly easy for me to use

Yeah, im also wondering bout that cuz ive been trying to figure out how to implement sound on my boot but had no success! ill try that but is their any method to implent sound on there, or do i just rename the mp3 file i want in there with poweron.wave? or how do i do that? and for flashing boot animation with sound? how can i go bout that?
Im currently on the CWM 3 with SyndicateRom Twilight 1.1.0 on my Epic 4G
Best Choice ive ever made, Epic has never been so smoothly and super fast
Do you have to be running a modded kernel or something to get this working? I looked in /data/system and /system/media and don't have a bootanimation.zip to overwrite. I am stock rom and kernel with root.

Hi all, ive just upgrade my optimus 2x to V10b, the bootanimation now is not the original LG bootanimation but it is a starhub bootanimation, then ive changed the bootanimation at /system /media by replacing the bootanimation.zip with a new one, it is a success but the shut down animation still shows starhub animation, can anyone show me how to replace the starhub shut down animation??
check in /system/app/PowerOff.apk the shutdown animation should be there..
ok, how do i edit it??
besides that, can anyone upload the stock power_off.apk file and stock bootanimation.zip file??
Here is PowerOff.apk, dunno about the bootanimation

Hey everyone, sorry if this is a "hijack", i'll try to stay within the borders...
OK, just to start off these are my stats:
Android Version 2.3.7
Mod Version CyanogenMod-7-10132011-Nightly
Build GWK74
Baseband: 1035.21_20110720
My question is, i've seen mentioned to go look in the /system/media for the bootanimation.zip. When i peek in that directory i see a bootanimation.bak
I can't seem to find a .zip.
I'm still new at all this, so be gentle

.bak is just a backup file from something ...
use root explorer for example to display system directories correctly ...

There won't be any differences between the files displayed with root explorer... ES file explorer is really very good.
If you have a boot animation during start of the phone there must be a zip file somewhere..
I've read that an alternative place for the zip file was somewhere in data, data/local I think? This is to enable non root phone to be customized.. There's a thread about this in this section.

OK, so it's good to know i wasn't missing anything eith ES. Even tho, i still cannot seem to find a bootanimation.zip anywhere
So far i've looked in:
/system/media/ only had a bootanimation.bak
...i've tried all others mention, and nada.
But i do have a bootanimation.zip there somewhere... and have been able to change it using BAC LITE. Could it be that maybe Rom Toolbox (having the option to diable boot animations) placed it somewhere else?
But just as a catch up, when i boot (with the option all boot animation disabled in RT) i get the plain white LG logo, then switches to a fancier coloured LG logo (and then a skateboarding Android or simple "Android" if enabled in RT).
Again, thanks got the helps guys...
Hey Everyone,
Just wanted to let everybody know that replacing the bootanimation.zip file with the DROID RAZR in the /system/media folder works with the XT860. I know it's a minor thing, but I thought it was cool.
For updatability (and because we don't have an SBF for the XT860) I recommend to rename the original bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip.orig and then copy a new bootanimation.zip in there.
if you dump the new animation to data/local it will boot up and you can leave system/media alone. either way. at least you renamed it instead of deleting. just an fyi
It would be even better if you can upload it for us
Even though I backed my original boot ani I somehow still lost it. Would someone be so kind as to upload it so I can have it just in case. Thanks
Sent from my rooted xt860
perhaps a good idea will be to upload here both animations...
As requested...
both animations!
The file should only be named bootanimation.zip and has the permissions of 644 (but it doesn't matter really) and the owner/group is 0/0 (root/root).
I know how to change permissions but what's the command for.changing owners
Sent from my rooted xt860
Change owner is chown, or it's the 2nd last option in root explorer's long click.
Sent from my XT860 using XDA App
So chown 00 or chown 11 etc

I can't find a Galaxy Nexus system dump, they seem to all be removed. If you have one PM me with a link and I'll see what I can do.
do these have the boot sound as well?
I have the Galaxy Nexus boot animation, and I'll post it a little later today. If anyone is losing original boot animations, use Root Explorer, go into System Media, and rename the existing boot animation to something like "d3bootanimation.zip" (that's exactly what I did). If you're simply renaming old animations as "bootanimation.bak" or something similar, you'll end up overwriting a few from time to time, depending on how many boot animations you have on your SD. Just use a more specific label for backups, and you should be fine.

Here's the boot animation for Galaxy Nexus. Rename this file to bootanimation.zip and place it in /data/local OR /system/media (if placing the file into /system/media, rename the original bootanimation.zip file to something different so you can restore if required).
for the ones who want smth different, here is a link to a blue bootanimation.

Yes,...
As long as you installed AOKP SGT7 or CM9 correctly you shoul have root access.
1. Download Root Explorer from Google Play store if you don't have one yet.
2. Download the bootanimation zip file and rename it to bootanimation.zip
3. Using Root Explorer, go to /system/media folder. Change access to R/W by click the R/W button on the top.
4. Find and rename the original bootanimation.zip to origboot.zip.bak.
5. Move the new downloaded bootanimation.zip to /system/media
if still not clear,
Follow my signature.
ok. What about the logo before that.
