[HOWTO!] Edit/Change Boot Animations For Dummies - LG Optimus Black

Great! So this will be a brief info about how to install custom boot animations.
Basically, if you are on CM7, and when you boot, it shows LG, then it brings you to CM7's boot animation. You are basically changing CM7's boot animation to whatever you like.
Firstly, there are 3 methods you can use (Some pros and cons will be stated for each method)
1 - Flash the bootanimation.zip from CWM Recovery (Pros: Fast and quick Cons: Sometimes might not work. And zip requires itself to be flashable.)
2 - Download ROM Toolbox from Play Store (RECOMMENDED)(Pros. EASY. Cons: Limited Boot animations available.)
Steps: install the app. Slide to the interface tab and click boot animations. Install the one you like. PLEASE HAVE A NETWORK OR INTERNET)
3 - Manual Installation (HIGH RISK LEVEL)(Should it fail, something bad happens.) Copy the downloaded .zip to your /system/media. Replace the bootanimation.zip, means that the downloaded zip must be renamed to bootanimation.zip) (REBOOT AFTER REPLACE)
Thank me if you have read this

False advertising-_- did not teach me how to edit an animation, changing/installing was already known but thanks for the contribution.

[AUDIO][CWM3][01/21/11] Custom Boot/Shutdown Sounds - Edify/Amend

[01/21/11] These new .zip files are updated to work with all versions of CWM, the scripts are both Edify and Amend friendly. Enjoy!
Previews:
Startup
Shutdown
Shutdown 2
Shutdown 3
There are 6 files attached here, all flashable through ClockworkMod. The titles of the files should be self-explanatory. You'll notice that one of the .zip's will flash you back to the stock Epic boot and shutdown sounds.
I've confirmed that they work with DI18 stock (rooted), DK28 stock (rooted), and Bonsai 1.1.4, so I don't see why they wouldn't work on any ROM.
Your phone must be rooted and have ClockworkMod Recovery (any version).
*I suppose I must do the obligatory I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU JACK YOUR PHONE UP*
Instructions:
- download flashable .zip and flash through clockwork.
That's it, reboot and enjoy!

No, the sound effect is a portion of (what I believe to be) the Droid Incredible boot sound; I created the "epic" and associated sound processing.

Pretty sweet! It does kind of remind me of the first time I saw Optimus Prime transform in the live action move. The "Epic" part is a nice touch.
Need help getting this to work. I have done every step to the T, and still no avail. I have custom boot animations as well as custom boot sounds but, for some reason this one file just says unsupported file type after clicking on it in /system/etc folder. It plays while on the sdcard itself. So if you know a work around that would be great cause this boot sounds is awesome.

This is probably a dumb question, but did you unzip the .wav first? Assuming that you did, you should have a file on your sd card with the name "PowerOn.wav"; if you copy that file into /system/etc you should have no problem. Verify that you have a file in that folder with that exact name, not just the "PowerOn.bak" that you may have created in backup up your original boot sound.
What file manager are you using? I've done this using both Astro and Root Explorer and am able to select the file in /system/etc and it plays on the built in music player.
Added the option to flash through clockwork, updated OP with options.
very nice I will install this
reminds me of transformers or THX
Just flashed the CWM zip and dangit still nothing. I must have changed something in that folder. Im going to reinstall my rom and see if that fixes my prob. I really want this boot sound.

His ROM is exactly why I created this in the first place! Didn't care much for the one he included, but I love his ROM and the boot animation!

You read my mind! I've been learning about how to make one today. The only catch is, it will only work on a ROM with a custom kernel, or a kernel that has been modified and re-compiled. Currently the only Froyo ROM that I know of that this might be an option with is Mammon's Bonsai ROM (which is what I run).
I'll keep fiddling and see what I can come up with.

{MOD} Animated Pulldown Bar

If you have made a Animated Pulldown Bar animation post it and i will upload it into the OP. I will also be making some when i get time im very busy trying to get work things together but i will work on what i can but please share your work i will give full credit and show it off thank you.
Video of what this looks like
If you wish to try this your self look HERE for that info.
Made by notta:
It will work much like the multi-anim zip I did "if familiar with it" by means of renaming a file inside a folder called notta on your sdcard to the animation of your choice. Then just reboot to recovery and flash the same zip you downloaded. Thats it!
Hopefully one zip, 15 different anims, working on CM7 and MIUI.
Instructions copied from the file you will rename (sdcard/notta/green-lightning)
Open as text such as with Root Explorer to view
Instructions for use:
Simply rename this file, the one you are reading to the pulldown animation of your choice. Reboot to recovery and reflash the original zip you downloaded. It will identify your choice by the file and patch that set. Be advised if you mispell your choice, nothing will be flashed and error.txt will reside in /sdcard/notta. NOTE: A dalvik wipe should be performed on the first initial flash, it should not be necessary after that.
So far the pulldown animations to rename default to are:
Please rename exactly as shown:
green-lightning
green-lightning2
blue-lightning
blue-lightning2
blue-lightning3
blue-lightning4
nerve
nerve2
pixel
pink-bounce
orange-bounce
blue-cosmic
apparition
red-plasma
cosmic-string
Consider it a beta zip & Again let me know how things work or give feedback. I have tested this but not extensively, It works by identifying whether ThemeChooser.apk (CM7) or ThemeEngine.apk (MIUI) resides in the system/app folder. If one or the other is not there, it won't flash anything!
I figure being able to theme on the fly is one of the reasons people run these roms, so it was a quick and easy solution to combine both in one zip.
The status bar may take a moment to set back in between animation choices. Also the animation never works on the first pulldown, just pull down a second time and it works great from then on out.
Also makes an undo flashable backup for both CM7 & MIUI!

To install the boot animation,File browser method (Rooted devices only)
Connect your phone to your computer via USB and mount the storage card for file transfer.
Copy the bootanimation.zip file that you want to install, to your SD card.
Unmount USB storage and launch the root explorer of your choice on your phone.
With root explorer or any other app that allows you to get to /system/media copy the bootanimation .zip into /system/media (remember to mount R/W)
Rename to bootanimation.zip and set permissions to rw--r--r--
Should Look something like this

[Q] New Motorola Boot Animation on Razr i ???

Hello guys,
Is possible to change the current XT890 boot animation for the new one (MotoX and MotoG)?
I think the new boot animation is awesome!
Yes it is easy to do. Replace the bootanimation.zip in the system/media folder with the one u like. It is possible that u need to resize all the pictures in the zip to the format of our phone to get it nice on the screen.
