custom bootanimation

My custom bootanimation is now complete and ready. Sorry if you want to see it you will have to go to youtube and search android animation as I can't post links.

How about a GIF?

Will do when i get a chance bit busy at the mo.

Changed the loop at the end to a colour mix of droid.

You install this how?

The method I use is with root explorer on the android market as it gives you the freedom to change system files. What I do is download a bootanimation.zip to my sdcard then I open up root explorer and find the bootanimation.zip. Once I've found the zip I copy it and move it to system /media. I paste the zip overriding the old one that's it all is left to reboot there are other ways with emulator and sdk but I find root explorer easyest.

Changing Bootanimation/Startup sound

Hi I have a rooted Nexus One FRF91 Build
I want to change the bootanimation and startupsound
I was able to change the bootanimation through ADB because the ROOT version was not working.
Same with the startup sound, is it even possible to have a startup sound on a nexus one?
Guide would be nice, also is there some secret thing I need to know, I am rooted tried the guides but it did not work.

Take whatever bootanimation you want, copy to /system/media/bootanimation.zip (overwrite the system one).
If you want to retain system bootanimation but still overwrite it - copy to /data/local/bootanimation.zip instead (might not work - I'm not sure if it's ROM-specific).
Don't know about the startup sound, living perfectly without one.

My inquiry was based of this (from adroidfourms .com)
I bolded the part I didn't understand/possible reason it is not working for me
PLEASE NOTE: You must be rooted. You must reboot in order for these changes to take effect. You should have Root Explorer (although I am sure there is a way with ADB commands as well though). You may want to create a backup (CWM or the like), just in case. Also, most of the people I have seen do this are running a version of Dirrk's/jt's kernel, which allow boot/shutdown animations to be changed. The kernel you are currently using when attempting to change the animations must allow for them to be changed for this to work.
The file needed to change your boot-up animation should be a .zip file.
I successfully changed my bootup animation by doing the following:
Boot-up animation:
1) download a new boot animation .zip file (I put mine in /sdcard/downloads)
2) open Root Explorer
3) navigate to where you put the new .zip
4) copy the new .zip
5) paste it into /data/local
6) rename it "bootanimation.zip." (if it isn't already)
Also, if you want to change the startup/shutdown sounds:
Startup sound:
1) DL a new sound file
2) convert to a .wav file (using Winamp+.wav converter/iTunes)
3) put on SD card
4) open Root Explorer
5) navigate to /system/etc
6) rename "PowerOn.wav" to "PowerOn.wav.old"
7) navigate to where you placed the DL'ed .wav file
8) copy
9) paste into /system/etc
10) rename it "PowerOn.wav"
Shutdown sound:
1) DL a new sound file
2) convert to .ogg file (I used Winamp+.ogg converter)
3) put on SD card
4) open Root Explorer
5) navigate to /system/media/audio/ui
6) rename "shutdown.ogg" to "shutdown.ogg.old"
7) navigate to the DL'ed .ogg file
8) copy
9) paste into /system/media/audio/ui
10) rename it "shutdown.ogg"

[Q] Cannot push file to system folder via adb

I am running the cyanogenmod 6.1.1 alpha 8.3 and I want to replace the bootanimation.zip in the folder system/media with a custom one.
I already have the custom bootanimation.zip but when I tried to push it to the folder it says:
Cannot stat 'bootanimation.zip' : No such file or directory
Yes, I have my files in the tools folder and I've checked (with astro file manager) that the folder exist.
Any help?
and btw I'm new to this and this is what I type to push the file:
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media

1. This can't be done on running system unless /system was remounted RW but it will work if you are in recovery (and /system is mounted)
2. Add full path to bootanimation.zip

You can use a root file manager.

Setting a custom Bootanimation

Hey folks,
just a quick one for those who are interested. You can set a custom Bootup Animation. Most/All Animations you find online will work. Mind though, with the Mate 7 you won't be able to use provided flushable Zip files. So here's a short how-to
1. Download the Animation you want
1.1 Determine if the zip is a flashable file or the Animation itself (both are zip files)
If you don't now, unpack the file. If its folders named "Part1, Part2,..." You have the Animation. If you see a "System" folder, it's flashable.
1.2 in case of flushable: Browse to "\System\Media" and save the zip file on your PC
2. Push the Zip File to your Phone (Anywhere you are able to find it again )
3. Use a Root Explorer on your Phone (i like ES Explorer) and mount your "root" as RW (google the exact steps for your chosen Explorer)
4. Copy the "boot animation.zip" to "\cust\preinstalled\pubilc\media"
5. Reboot and Enjoy
Just for you, i'll add the Stock Android L Bootanimation:
