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.

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.

Please help getting boot animation working on Cyanogen Mod 7 on a HERO...

Hi all,
I have a CDMA Hero and was trying to get this boot animation working:
The Event Android boot animation by zul8er:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092177
I installed it but get a black screen when the device is booting up. I am running Cyanogen Mod 7 and the animation that came with it worked fine. If you guys could help me out on getting this to work I would appreciate it.
Attached is the animation file that was created by the original author (resized for the Hero):
It is 320X480 and the permissions are set per the link above.
Thanks guys.

You posted this in development, which it is not. I would say read the OP of that thread. I just read it and it says it's 480*800 and if you have a diff screen res (heroC is 320*480) you need to change the desc.txt. Also, depending on what ROM you are running bootanim lives in different folders. Try putting it in data/local
EDIT: just saw you have the 320*480 one.
EDIT2: at least it's not in dev anymore

Yeah, I posted it to the wrong forum. My fault. Thanks mods for correcting that.

did you flash out, or move it yourself? I see a flashable version and one that is installed manually.

I tried the flashable version but Recovery game me an error, so the creator of the animation made me a non flashable one. I moved it with root explorer and set the permissions correctly per the creator's instructions.

Here's a thread for how-to make your own
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1096068

I have tried putting bootanimation.zip in /system/media and /data/local and neither method works for me. I get a black screen instead of the boot animation. I've tried changing the animation multiple times with a few different versions of AOSP and CM7. I've even tried to find the stock bootanimation.zip in /system/media from a newly flashed ROM before adding a new one, and I cannot ever seem to see that file, either.
I keep reading threads with instructions to put the bootanimation.zip in either location with Root Explorer or through Terminal Emulator, with /data/local being preferred), and I keep doing exactly the same steps, but I seem to have no success. I've tried various boot animations from this section of the forums, I've edited the desc.txt file to make sure things are the correct size, etc. I managed to get the Pac Man boot animation to run once (placed in /data/local), edited the desc.txt to have the animation loop, and got the black screen after that. I have not gotten any boot animation to work since then (other than the stock CM7 and AOSP animations for the ROM I'm using). I've even tried using bootanimationutility.apk, but it also cannot find any bootanimation.zip when run it, so it won't change anything for me.
I've brought my Hero back to stock since then, and have flashed Evolvr (I love it, but no Music prevents it from being ROM of choice), CM 7.0.3, and AOSP 5/23. I'm still getting the same results. I wipe everything make sure I start clean, and I still can't change my boot animation.
I've got just enough familiarity with working on this phone to get myself into trouble if I'm not thinking, and barely enough patience to keep myself from running into that problem sometimes. Can anyone help me figure this out? I know my Hero might be getting a little long in the tooth, but I'm getting married in the fall, and my money is a bit tied up in that for a while, so no new Evo 3D for me just yet.

Are you trying to get a boot animation you made to work or just a boot zip period to work??
#Root/Hack-Mod_Always*

any boot animation at all.
EDIT: hmmm... now I just got the broken glass boot animation from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1096068) to work correctly from /data/local. Maybe my luck has changed.
I guess this is what I get for deciding to stop lurking and start learning.

Another update. I tried to change some of the previous boot animation to have the droid pulse instead of just remain lit. I added the duplicate png files, renamed them in order, and made a new zip. I'm back to a black screen. I'm guessing there's something that I messed up when I created the new zip file. I was able to switch back to the unmodified version, and it worked just fine. Anyone got any tips for editing other non-flashable .zip's? I've got a few that I'd like to try out and tweak a little, but I can't ever get them to properly load when I put them in /data/local, just like what happened here.
It's nice to know people will try to help instead of just ignoring those of us who don't know a ton about all of this.

When you zip up your boot animations you have to zip them with no compression. You have to select add to archive and store (using 7 zip). After you zip your folder, you have to go back into it (open archive) and make sure you don't have any thumbs.db files that got added when you zipped up the folder. With CM7 / Aosp roms your bootanimation.zip should go in /system/media. I struggled with this for a couple of days before I got everything working smoothly. Good luck.

Boot Animations

So I was trying to tweak some boot animations and they weren't showing... now, I tried to go back to my original bootanimation.zip, and it's not showing either....
Should I need to clear my cache or something? I know the file I have loaded now was fine, and the permissions are correct... but now it's not displaying...
Any ideas?

You need to follow the directions, HERE. The most important part is to NOT COMPRESS the zip file. If using 7-zip, set the compression level to "store." If you compress the zip file, you end up with you have now, a boot animation that does not show.

haha good to know.
I just kept leaving 7zip at it's default settings. Doesn't really explain why the original zip that worked stopped working though.
I'll give it a try with 7zip set to store.
Thanks

Well, not compressing it definitely worked...
http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/q232f/created_a_bootanimation_for_cyanogenmod9_what_do/
I took the one located here, and resized it for the NC.
I didn't bother making it flashable, but just drop it into /system/media and change permissions to rw-r--r-- and it should be fine
Actually... The upload keeps failing.... not sure why though, it doesnt exceed the file size.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1659941/bootanimation.zip
Here's a link to it on my dropbox though.

Try putting the new boot animation zip in data/local. That way you won't need to backup the original that is in system/media in case you want it back. Data/local simply preempts the one that is in media upon flash.
Also, if you decide you like the newer animation, then you won't have to replace it every time you flash an update, as data isn't touched by any of the cache wipes or flashes.

Thanks man, that's really good to know.

[Boot Animation] ctOS Boot Animation

Hello!
So I've been playing a bit of Watch Dogs as of late, and decided that I wanted to go ahead and make a ctOS-style boot animation, emulating the geometric hacker-looking loading animation you see in the game;
I went ahead and found this video of the animation I was looking for, and formatted it into a 1080p boot animation for my OnePlus One, and any other 1080x1920 resolution phones.
Click Here To Download The CM11/CM12 Version From Google Play!
OTHER LINKS ARE DOWN THIS WEEK UNTIL MY GOOGLE DRIVE IS UPDATED
I've attached the two ZIP installers to this OP in the meantime:
Installation Instructions:
The first download link is the Google Play link for my CM11/CM12 version, it works with any ROM that supports both the CM11 Theme Engine, and the new CM12 Theme Engine!
The other 2 attachments are flashable ZIP files - one for 1080p phones, and the other for 720p phones - just reboot to your recovery (TWRP or CWM), and flash away! The installer backs up your previous boot animation, and applies mine. It's that simple.
A huge thanks to Flashalot for making the ZIP for me, and now thanks to exxxistent for making a 720p version installer too!
ATTENTION -- for any ROMs using the CM11 or CM12 Theme Engine, use the Google Play link above; any of the following methods will only replace the stock boot animation for the ROM with the one you install. Therefore, any themes you apply other than the stock ROM theme will supersede my boot animation and use the theme's instead.
To install via your phone:
Download the bootanimation.zip file, and open up a root file explorer to find where you downloaded it to
Now go ahead and navigate to your /system/media folder (you may need to allow your file explorer to mount system as read/write for the next step)
Find your current bootanimation.zip, and rename it to bootanimation.zip.bak (just backin' up your original one)
Now copy the downloaded bootanimation.zip into /system/media, and make sure the permissions for the zip are RW-R-R (octal 644)
And it's installed!
To install via ADB:
Download the bootanimation.zip file from the download link above, and find the file in your computer's file manager
Open up the folder where you have your ADB binary, and copy the bootanimation.zip file into that folder
Connect your phone to your computer via USB, and make sure USB Debugging is enabled on your phone
Open up Command Prompt (PC) or Terminal (Mac), and type:
Code:
cd [THE FOLDER ADB IS IN]
** For Mac users, you may need to type in ./adb instead of just adb, if you get a "command not found" error
Now, type in the following, hitting enter after every line:
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /sdcard/bootanimation.zip
adb shell
su
mount -o remount rw /system
mv /system/media/bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip.bak
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /system/media
chmod 644 /system/media/bootanimation.zip
And you're good to go!

I'm currently working on a variant of this animation, in which the beginning part loops and then the animation ends on the ctOS icon, like it does if you are waiting for the game to load. I've figured out how the Android L and M boot animations implement a closing animation, so it shouldn't take long to recreate the 1080p version to start with.
Enjoy!

hey bro!!
I like this bootanimation.
my mobile doesn't supports the .gif format, so can u make this .zip for me?

Do you want the previews I made in a zip format? Because the bootanimation itself is in a JPEG series format that should work for any 1080p phone.

Very nice!
Is this just download and flash via twrp?

It is not. It's to push to /system/media and to set permissions to at least rw-r-r.

That is a great idea for a boot animation, but wouldn't it be nicer to make it an apk instead of zip and use the CyanogenMod theme engine to set it as boot animation?
Is it possible, can you make it or perhaps someone here who knows how can help you?

It should work on any 1080x1920 resolution screen, so you should be good to go. As far as the installer goes, just make sure your bootanimation for your ROM is being loaded
from /system/media, and you should be fine using it with your m8.

The stock bootanimation + ctOS style has to be something awesome. Can you do it?
Thanks for your work!

you know what, you may as well copy the "bootanimation.zip" file to the /data/local/ directory, change permissions to rw-r-r and then reboot. you get the same effect without renaming any file at all. for me it's cleaner and may not break future OTAs.

Did not work on Mahdi rom flashed via TWRP
Edit: Also tried with adb shell... the file is copied correctly but boot animation is still stock !! how is this possible ?

That's true, it's definitely easier... I prefer doing everything manually if I'm going to do anything manually at all, so I guess that's why I like renaming files and working in the /system/media/ directory

Got it working !! apparently the issue is themesshowcase App ... If you set a different bootanimation from stock , the .zip file is picked up from local folder of the theme. so even though i copied the file to correct location , it was the stock location. i.e what you have mentioned in OP. After i switched to stock bootanimation via Themesshowcase app , it loaded ctOS animation very nice animation !! thanks for the work !

Perfect, thanks for letting me know! I'll go add that to the installation instructions, and remove that Mahdi ROM is incompatible. The dev actually just got back to me and told me boot animations work fine with the ROM, so it's good to hear there's just a workaround required for manual insertion via my flashable zip. Otherwise that would've sucked for everyone using the CM11 Theme Engine...

If I want to switch back to stock can I change it from the theme manager or do I have to reflash the stock animation as well?

I'm going to add all of this to the OP when I get a free minute here, but the CM11 Theme Manager will see my installed boot animation as the stock one that comes with the ROM, so you will have to manually restore the old one before seeing it in your default theme again. You can change to another boot animation via the Theme Manager, but the stock one will stay as mine until you either flash the "undo" zip file or manually replace the backed-up stock boot animation.

Just replace your original from system/media ( make sure you keep the original in a safe place) change permission to rw-r--r--.
Hit like if you like. Hit donate if you want too. The attached .gif is not the actual boot animation just a preview made for this post.

Would you like the stock boot back? ( ALWAYS KEEP IT IN A SAFE PLACE) I'll post it below . I just noticed theres an Error in the flashable.Zip. (To add sound to your bootanimation you must save an .ogg file in the same folder and code it into the animation) .Use root explorer to replace whatever boot animation you have in the SYSTEM>MEDIA folder and edit permission to rwxr--r--

Thanks, I appreciate you helping me with the stock animation.

Ate you setting the right permissions? Rwxr--r-- and if that isn't working try rw-r--r--

I'm trying to create an iron man boot animation with audio. I included the audio file inside the zip file for you to see.
I hadn't thought about the permissions so I'll go check those out.

Yes permissions must be set in root explorer for the manual method to work. I will check yours out

after my initial research your png files in each folder must be consecutive i.e P1 000.png-070.png P2 071.png - 139.png Etc..... they must be consecutive. you started from zero in each Part. 70 .png per folder

If you send me your original image files ill compile them for you i just dont want to go back through and rename all your files since you already have them. ship it to me in one bulk folder

I've attached a zip file with all of the images. I renamed each one to be in exact numerical order starting at 000 and going in increments of 001.
I placed that zip file with the desc.txt file into system/media and set the permissions at 0744(rxwr--r--).
It still didn't work.... Is there a limit to how many images can be in one folder?
I attached the zip in question to this post so you can see.

I also tried setting the permissions to 0644(rw-r--r--) and that didn't work either
