You should ask this in the correct area for your phone. I have no knowledge of any other phones but Magic.
Still, see if this helps. When I change my boot animation I put it to system/media/bootanimation.zip.
Why can't you get to recovery?

I checked there i couldnt find anything.
There is no recovery for my phone yet.
Yeah ill ask in the correct forums.

It's either /system/media, /system/customize/resource or /data/local, or more than one of them.

1st off I love how you bump your own thread lol.
2nd, If you phone is rooted install 'root explorer' or simular and search for bootanimation.zip, this will show you where your current animation is stored.
3rd. Remember the directory & copy the bootanimation.zip you want into that folder & overwrite, reboot.
4th. Hope that helps, enjoy !

Try to push it to /data/local/ with adb.

Changing the Boot Animation

For those wanting to change the boot animation on your Thunderbolt, here is a quick tutorial. Remember that you do this at your own risk- I take no responsibility. It is fairly simple though.
1. Download your preferred bootanimation and place on the root of your sd card.
2. Rename to "bootanimation.zip" (without the quotes of course)
3. use root explorer and navigate to the /system/media folder OR /system/customize/resource folder for VirusROM (I think)
4. rename the "bootanimation.zip" to "bootanimation.zip.old" and "Finalthunder.mp3" to "Finalthunder.mp3.old"
5. Next navigate to your sdcard, and find the bootanimation.zip file that you downloaded and renamed.
6. long press and choose copy
7. now navigate to the /system/media folder on your phone and toggle to mount R/W
8. Then just paste the bootanimation and done!
9. Reboot to check out your new boot animation
I will be trying to reach out to several devs who have made boot animations and see if they will let me post a link to them here so we can have a centralized place to get anims from. Will update as soon as I start hearing back from those devs.

How do you change the boot sound?
I was able to change this right after root by using the same methods as I used on my DINC. But I want to replace the boot sound as well. I have tried renaiming to thunderfinal.mp3, android_audio.mp3, and (VZW_) something .mp3 to no avail. Any suggestions or success?

rename it to:
thunderfinal.mp3.old
and it "should" work. at least it worked for me. if you change the bootanimation, just add ".old" after .zip

FYI - I don't think that is the correct location - at least it's not on my Thunderbolt. Check here: /system/customize/resource and find the VZW_bootanimation.zip.
I replaced that with one of my choice and it's working fine. The sound is there as well: FinalThunder.mp3.

It depends what rom you are using. The debloated rom has those files placed in media. I am running the debloated rom now.

Where can I download other boot animations?

In xda there are a ton of boot animations. Just use the search. I put "boot animation" in the search tab and got a ton of results.

If you are running Debloat then its in the /system/media folder.

The stock rom is:
/system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
Same as EVO not DINC, DINC called it VZW_bootanimation.zip

I've been working on a few of my own boot animations. The problem I found is that when I dropped in my own boot animation and left the finalthunder.mp3 right where it was. It no longer played the thunder sound?? I assumed that changing the name of finalthunder would make it go away otherwise it would play no matter what.
So why did it stop playing when I didn't touch it?

**EDIT
Duplicate post. Sorry!

Maybe the sound is tied to the original boot animation through a script or other file...not really sure. I am going to play around with it this week and see if I can get the sound working as I have a couple ideas myself. If I find something that works I will be sure to post back and let you know.

changing Stock animation
I'd like to know as well. I can't see anywhere in the VZW_bootanimation.zip where that file is even referenced...
Of course, I'm not exactly a scholar in this area. I just want to use a custom sound with my custom boot ani.
Thanks!

*UPDATE*
I extracted all the stock folders from the zip, I changed 1 PNG (the quietly brilliant splash in the 'android' folder), rezipped it and put it back on the bolt. When I rebooted the screen was blank BUT the finalthunder.mp3 STILL played... and there was no animation.
I kept the PNG file name that I changed the same as the original... not sure why it stopped working tho. {Note - I rename the zip (attached) after I have it on my SD card. then move it to the system/customize/resource.}

hey guys, having some problems making mine
i was able to make everything but i get no image. I made 120 jpg files for the VZW folder and placed them in their.
I then customized the HTC screenie for the android folder, and finally in the progress folder i placed a .gif (which i didn't think was a problem).
I also placed the desc.txt file as well, zipped it up and placed in in /system/media. No dice...
Anyone else having an issue or has had this issue and knows what i need to do??

edited because

Anybody got any cool boot animations running on their Tbolts yet?

Awesome this worked great. Thinks for the instructions.

okay, i need some assistance, I'm trying to make a fairly simple boot animation, but NONE of the animations ive used have worked I am obviously not doing something right, but not sure what

I can't get this to work either... I'm running DaBamf ROM and put these files in the system/media folder to replace what was there and all I get is a black screen and no sound at all... I haven't messed with the stock location of these files yet, so we'll see...

Ok this is a weird solution but it has worked for me.
1. down load the link below and flash it. When it boots up you will get the famous rick roll bootanimation that jcase put up on April 1st.
2. Go to /system/media/ and replace the bootanimation.zip with whatever bootanimation.zip you want.
3. If you want to add custom boot sound you have to name it android_audio.mp3 to replace what is there. If you don't want any sound delete the existing android_audio.mp3 or you will get Rick Astley every time you boot.
That has allowed me to change bootanimation and get custom sound each time I have replaced the ROM. If that works for you thank me and enjoy.

[Q] Boot Animation

Ok as some of you know i have started work on a pre dev'd rom and things are going ok with it.. But my question is... Boot Animation?? A friend and I have tried all different methods trying to get this thing working but just no luck at all..
Here's the details...
Rom: SenseLX v2.02
Firmware: 2.1 Sense
Radio: 2.22.28.25
Hboot: 1.33.0013d
Boot Screen: Stock HTC (Quietly Brilliant) screen with little green loading bar at bottom..
also has a boot sound which i can get working so thats not an issue..
Ok so now i have tried the custom boot screen i want on a different Sense rom and it worked fine!! i made no changes to anything in the bootanimatin.zip than placed it in my SenseLX rom in system/media. Now after flashing the rom, the custom boot screen and audio i chose work for about 2 seconds than the whole screen turns green... untill rom has fully booted.
A. im doing something wrong and it can be something stupid...
B. that little green loading bar on stock boot is causing me some serious problems!!!
(i unzipped the stock bootanimation.zip and seen there was NO green bar image on the .png files for the boot screen)
so is there something in the files for this rom to possibly turn that little green loading bar off??
Or does anyone know what it might bee?????
Thank you, sorry if i didn't provide enough details just ask and i will give..

nobody knows anything?

It didn't work?

naa sorry man lol we tried tho.. im thinking its that stupid green loading bar thats screwing with it.. thats why the screen turns green for the rest of the boot lol

PM me the bootanimation, i will try something.

hey ldrifta when you rezipped the bootanimation zip in back into the rom zip file, did u use the store compression method in winrar? Boot animations wont work if you store them compressed. when rezipping,all you have to do is right click on the bootanimation.zip, click add to archive, go to browse and look for the rom.zip file whereever you have it, and then look for where it says "compression method" and choose the "Store option", then reflash and see if it works.

also rename the bootanimation to what yours is named either ATT_bootanimation.zip or bootanimation.zip

Here is how I did it.
1. Download the .zip to your desktop and rename this file to the file that your device uses. (I use ATT, so I navigated to system, customize, resource, and that's where I saw my boot animation and it was, ATT_bootanimation.zip
2. Mount the disk so you can open the external sd drive on your computer
3. Moved the .zip file from the desktop to the external sd drive
4. I use Rom Toolbox, but use a root explorer and copy the bootanimation zip file from your external sd card, to your devices bootanimation file, It will ask if you want to overwrite or keep both files, but you MUST overwrite. Reboot phone and it should work. If that doesn't then try and install it from your recovery and you might have to delete the cache, but try that.
I do recommend backing up the phone and the current rom though...Just incase

Is there a specific place to go where i can download different boot animations for the vivid as well as preview them before downloading?

There are boot animation threads...
Trial and error as far as what works...
Our screen is 960x540
Anything smaller COULD work

You can always try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678540&highlight=sense
You have to download them first but it lets you see what it will look like.

Don't overwrite your ATT_bootanimation.zip file just rename it ATT_bootanimation.bak (or just bootanimation.bak if your original bootanimation file is named just bootanimation). This way if you can't get it to work then you can delete the file that dosen't work and go back to your original file by putting the .zip back.

Try install boot animation factory
HTC VIVID 4.0.4 SENSE 4.1

I'd love to try Annimation Factory but it requires Win SP3. I only have/use the laptop my company gives me and they control what SP are installed with an iron fist and we are only on SP1. I really need to build a new box. I"m still working on doing it the old fashion way as discribed in the OP's document.
EDIT - FYI - I installed Annimation Factory and it works just fine on SP1. One thing that I have noticed every time I open it it prompts me there is a new version even when turning off the check for updates in settings. When I try to download the new version it gives a downloader error. I don't think this is related to SP1. The AF version I have works good though. I'll go and get the new version manually.

OP is for 551 version, are you sure you don't mean 550?
EDIT: Never mind, I looked through the files and saw they were 1080p versus OP's 820*520 pixels. Thanks.

Is it just me or is it pretty slow? Maybe the phone can't keep up with 1080 at boot?

Thanks for giving me credit! I appreciate it! I'm Dustin.

fall in love with this new boot animation

Hy guys!
I'm currently using a Nexus 5 and i really love the Nexus Root Toolkit ( NRT). It's a software that allows you to flash an image, root, etc, with just a few clicks.
Is there anything like this available for the Asus Zenfone 2?
Thanks!

you need to flash it through recovery or extract the bootanimation file from the zip and do you processure

Can i flash in my 550ML?

Gidday
I have tried to flash this file in recovery mode but I cant see where to select "install zip" as it was titled in Android on my Samsung S3 in recovery mode...
I have also tried to copy the file across using X-plore but am getting an error message regarding permissions...
Apologies if this seems simple to tech heads...am a middle aged dufus attempting to get used to this new phone...
