Did you compress the zip? You have to create it as "store" files and not compress.
It should remain a zip file

Someone has been doing the work to port the animation to multiple devices. I haven't tried it to see if it works, but here's the link. He's taken out the Star Wars and Droid logo part.

I spent like 3 hours creating a boot animation for my xoom and can't get the thing to work. I sent the stock one to my comp and altered only the images and nothing more. I left the notepad info in there and zipped to a file and put back in the directory on my xoom that it started in. Using the same permissions as the stock animation and giving it the exact same name and moving the stock one out of there rebooted and now it goes from the stock dual core screen, to home page. No boot animation at all.
The only difference between the one that I made and the stock one is the file size. Mine is just over 9mb and stock is just over 2mb. Will this make the difference?
any help is appreciated.

Where are you pushing it to. ? And and dimesions on desc.txt file should match the img's dimensions

Putting it into system/media which is where stock boot animation is and I used the notepad info from original boot animation and kept pics the same height and width, they are just larger files...

Has anyone figured out how to change the boot animations yet and add a custom animation? I haven't had much chance to look too far into it yet, but I see that it is different than what I am used to.
No recovery yet so no one is willing to screw around with boot

I am working on it right now. Was able to convert to .rle in photoshop. I am having an issue with extracting the boot.img to edit the files within the ramdisk (if that is where they are stored), because simply editing the files in system/media does not work.

Ok I must be a little stupid today. I am trying to replace our D3 boot animation with the Bionic animation. I have dropped both the new bootanimation.zip and ogg file into SYSTEM/MEDIA but it never activates?
Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Steve
Name the new boot animation bootanimation.zip take the old one out rename it whatever you want. I always put my old one in data/local, don't think that really matters but it works for me

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

works perfectly. is it too much to ask to add here the Official Nexus Prime boot animation...in the same file format..in order to collect all working options?

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.

Just downloaded the razr bootanimation and put it in data/local. I shut my phone off and started and didn't get it to work
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
Put it in the system/media folder. Be sure to rename the boot animation that's already there.

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.

That link no longer works. I found the the blue animation deeper in that thread, and have attached it to this post. The blue animation is working fine on my XT862 / XT883.
