find and download that animation (if you have not already)
It should be called animation.zip, open it to see if it contains a folder or several folders and a txt file,
if it does you're good to go.
then using es file explorer or some file manager with root access, navigate to /system/media/
you'll see a boot animation.zip in there, rename it .bak or something else, then copy your animation.zip
there and set the permissions to rw-- r--- r---
reboot your tab and it should play.
I just changed my nook hd+ boot animation to the jellybean animated X.

Somehow my Boot Animation disappeared? I'm running sense virus rom. I deleted all my boot animation. zips to try to get everything off the device and then I downloaded the stock animation and put it in the media file and the system custom resource file and it goes to my splash screen, then goes black, and then the phone comes on. Any idea how to fix this so I don't have just a black boot animation? Is there a stock boot animation around? What are the steps to properly installing it?
Didu name it right? Some have to b VZW_bootanimation. Others just bootanimation
inc
try this name it bootanimation i think thats what virus needs not VZW_bootanimation and pretty sure ur right about location(sys/customize/resource/)
still savin fora TB so dont have one to test
Downloaded it and renamed it bootanimation.zip then copied it from my SD card in root explorer and placed it into my system/customize/resource folder along with my system/media folder.
Restarted my phone. Got my splash screen, then screen went black. No animation.
Then I tried it using VZW_Bootanimation.zip
No luck. WTF!!!!!

have stock virus animation but too big to uplaod.......virus bootanimation is a bit dif from stock
Extract all the files from the zip on your CPU.....hilight all the files and right click, select archive, when the window appears select zip, and from the drop menu select store....mine was doing this also if I just zip it.....hope this isn't too confusing

I like it! Nice work.
That is FANTASTIC...most creative I have seen. Better yet it looks like it belongs with the device from stock. Great use of the Moto logo.
I like it. Not going to use it quite yet though.
Love it installing right now thanks alot

@jase33
Looks really good! I love how u got the logo on the planet
I have some constructive criticism...
Have you thought about or tried removing the end of animation/loading loop that says "XOOM" to... keeping the planet on screen after it rotated to reveal the moto logo then glow and/or loop the clouds/mist atmosphere moving a bit? while everything loads...
Still an awesome job!

Will this work with the Tiamat ROM?
Sick animation.
well after doing it your way the system wont accept the boot animation for some odd reason and just went back to the stock hc animation is this because maybe im using a custom rom ?
oh nvm i guess its only a problem when i reboot using vol up + power as it just bootloops 2 time then shows animation which is kinda annoying
Hey guys!
I tried to find a nice working HD version of the stock Galaxy Nexus boot animation, but I couldn't find any for our Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. I found ones that people had for the Kindle Fire, but those were 640x360 pictures and looked grainy to me on the WSVGA 1024x600 screen. I eventually found a nice high-res 1280x720 version of the animation but when I tried that on the GT2, it just couldn't handle the scaling and froze. Therefore I decided to make my own. I took those and made each picture a native size for the screen (came out to 1024x576) and I have to say, it looks nice. After some personal trial and error, I settled on 21 frames per second, as it seem neither too fast or too slow (but you are free to change it if you choose).
Here it is to share, I hope you enjoy!
how install ?

You need a rooted phone, then with root permission you have to copy this file inside the folder /system/media

Don't unzip the file. Drop the bootanimation.zip file as is in the system/media folder and you are all set. You'll need your phone to be rooted because you have to make sure to make the system/media file rewritable instead of read-only (I personally use Root Explorer, you can find it in the store).
Just installed it, rebooted, and it seems to freeze up two or three times before it boots.
Don't work!

Guys, tell me please how to set my own .gif as boot animation on MIUI. Or how to do boot animation and send it to MI servers for able to download and apply it.
BTW. What are the best boot animations you know? Especially dedicated for MIUI.

i didnt try yet, but go to root folder in android with any root explorer (7zip for example) system-media-bootanimation.zip.
just copy to pc, edit the single pictures and put the single gif pics in there, maybe Photoshop?. just save the single pics. (didn't try it yet, or have a look here http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/change-android-boot-animation/)
I know how to make a boot animation. But I can't replace new boot animation with the old one. I have root and file explorer with root access but I still can't replace or remove anything from "/" folder.
Whatever. Tell me how to send any theme to MIUI Theme Market to make it possible to download by anyone.
Hi All,
Back again to share my latest work. I have taken the Google Pixel XL boot animation and converted it to have a black background. Its 1440p resolution.
I spent a lot of time learning to make python plugin for use with GIMP image editor to apply a number of image processing procedures and then batch process all the boot animation files. The result is I can quickly do this conversion now in less than 5min! This plugin does not simply do background paint bucket fills. The problem I found with this is you are left with intermediate colours remaining on the edge of the google letters from the white background. You might be able to solve that by increasing the threshold but then you are left with pixel, jagged edges which also sux! Instead I played with RGB modes, selective selection by colour, alpha colour, etc, etc. The result is a black background, with nice edges of the coloured google letters, and I think i did a good job to keep original colours. Someone with a trained photoshop'd eye may beg to differ but I think its ok for now.
Only thing I ask for in return is give credit where credit is due if you include this in your work/projects.
If anyone is interested in have the Pixel boot animation for devices of other resolutions (e.g. Nexus 5X) let me know and send the original boot animation and I'll convert.
Paul.
Oh! And as always - DO A NANDROID BACKUP!!! I will take not responsibility.
God bless you developers and XDA

Thanks man
Please. Can you make Pixel device style BootLogo (logo.bin)?
How to apply this? When i try to flash it using boot animations app by jrummy then it shows error "please select a valid file" even though i select the correct zip, is there any other way to flash ? Can i directly flash it using twrp ?
yeah i also tried to put the zip in system/media and replaced the old bootanimation.zip with the new one and put the permissions the same octal 644 still didn't work.
Looks much better than the white version. I didn't flash it though. Just extracted zip and placed the bootanimation file in system/media and set permissions to rw/r/r

I downloaded the zip then extracted it then found the boot animation.zip then went to system/media then renamed the original bootanimation.zip to .zip.bak then pasted the copied zip and made sure permissions was rw/r/r
Rebooted works great

From what I understand this is not possible on our device, or at least no one has figured how to do it yet.

Hmm I tried this. Not working for some reason. The zip has the right permissions and its in the right folder and I used the extracted zip as well. I'm on 6.0, do I need to be on nougat?
I'm getting a small lag spike right before it goes into the final G at the end. It freezes for a second and then finishes the animation. Any fixes?
i also made this for personal use but i simply used gimp to batch edit invert all whit eto black...retaining original rgb

No. Boot animations are in no way whatsoever OS dependent. I have literally been using the same boot animation since Ice Cream Sandwich. It's been the exact install method since that time as well.
Download your boot animation. Use a file explorer to take a peek inside it. Do you see a "META-INF" folder inside? If yes, that's a flashable zip and you will be installing it via recovery.
If no, then you should see several folders named 'part0, part1, part2, part3, etc., along with a desc.txt. Inside each folder is a picture. Together they all make up the entire animation. The desc.txt tells it how to play. The speed, resolution & order of the animation. If that's what you see then that's the actual boot animation itself and in that case;
Use a file explorer with root permissions. Navigate to /system/media and you will see the stock 'bootanimation.zip'
If you're never going to use it again and you know it, you can delete it. Otherwise you can rename it exactly 'bootanimation.zip.bak' and just delete the .bak extension you added if you ever wish to revert (after deleting the custom boot animation you installed).
Another thing to note is that the new boot animation you're downloading here (or anywhere) must always be named exactly the same as stock. So say you download a Spiderman themed boot animation named "spidey_BA.zip" you will need to rename it "bootanimation.zip".
So once your old boot animation is either changed to bootanimation.zip.bak or deleted, move the file of your choice into /system/media. Once the new animation is there make sure you're setting the correct permissions. They should be exactly -rw-r--r-- (644).
That's it. Reboot. Enjoy your new boot animation.
So remember, if your zip has a "META-INF" folder inside of it, that is meant to be flashed in recovery. If it only has folders named part0, part1 part2...in that fashion + a desc.txt, that is the actual boot animation which needs to go to /system/media and have its permissions granted to 644. That's been the case for changing boot animations since I got on Android in 2010, probably longer than that, I'd imagine. Every single phone. Not trying to bash or anything just help you understand. If you followed these steps and you don't see a new boot animation then you are in fact doing something wrong.
It's pretty straightforward. You shouldn't have any trouble or mess anything up. Worst thing you could probably do is just delete any animations. That wouldn't even boot loop you. You'd either end up with a black screen or the old default 'Android' still image until your phone booted. Let me know if you need more help.
Just wow. The black is just immaculate.
Works great on my 7.1 ROM thanks!
Is there a white version for ROMs that don't already have it too please?
