Thank you very much, however, do you think you can edit the picture a little bit? It seems just a touch grainy, is that because of a size restriction? Either way, thank you very much. Could you make a version without "Rooted" at the bottom?

try this ryan-ur pic

how do you install this?

I would like help installing this as well. I have no folder on my sdcard for root. In my sdcard folder I do have a zip file called PG05img.zip. That is the same name as this file I just downloaded. If I put the downloaded file into the same folder as the other one wont it completely erase the other file?

Guys, the root just means not in any folder. Their are instructions in the OP and in another post on page 1.
Btw, chas, you want to remove the original PG05IMG.zip from your SD card. Every time you boot into hboot that will try and update on your phone. Best to remove it asap to avoid problems

named PG05IMG so bootloader sees it. U just put on root of sdcard not in any folder, ifu have another file with same name it won't work.

also rename the bootanimation to what yours is named either ATT_bootanimation.zip or bootanimation.zip

Here is how I did it.
1. Download the .zip to your desktop and rename this file to the file that your device uses. (I use ATT, so I navigated to system, customize, resource, and that's where I saw my boot animation and it was, ATT_bootanimation.zip
2. Mount the disk so you can open the external sd drive on your computer
3. Moved the .zip file from the desktop to the external sd drive
4. I use Rom Toolbox, but use a root explorer and copy the bootanimation zip file from your external sd card, to your devices bootanimation file, It will ask if you want to overwrite or keep both files, but you MUST overwrite. Reboot phone and it should work. If that doesn't then try and install it from your recovery and you might have to delete the cache, but try that.
I do recommend backing up the phone and the current rom though...Just incase

Is there a specific place to go where i can download different boot animations for the vivid as well as preview them before downloading?

There are boot animation threads...
Trial and error as far as what works...
Our screen is 960x540
Anything smaller COULD work

You can always try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678540&highlight=sense
You have to download them first but it lets you see what it will look like.

Don't overwrite your ATT_bootanimation.zip file just rename it ATT_bootanimation.bak (or just bootanimation.bak if your original bootanimation file is named just bootanimation). This way if you can't get it to work then you can delete the file that dosen't work and go back to your original file by putting the .zip back.

Try install boot animation factory
HTC VIVID 4.0.4 SENSE 4.1

I'd love to try Annimation Factory but it requires Win SP3. I only have/use the laptop my company gives me and they control what SP are installed with an iron fist and we are only on SP1. I really need to build a new box. I"m still working on doing it the old fashion way as discribed in the OP's document.
EDIT - FYI - I installed Annimation Factory and it works just fine on SP1. One thing that I have noticed every time I open it it prompts me there is a new version even when turning off the check for updates in settings. When I try to download the new version it gives a downloader error. I don't think this is related to SP1. The AF version I have works good though. I'll go and get the new version manually.

[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?

Thanks a lot. Just flash and good to go. I wonder if this will work on the htc m8?

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.

That's a great idea! I went ahead and started looking into making CM11 Theme Apps, so once I've made one for the bootanimation I'll put the Google Play link here.

This is epic, I love it. :good:

Thanks for de-mystifying this for us.
I wanted the stock CyanogenMod "cid" animation on my One, and your explanation made it dead easy to accomplish.

Very nice. Thank you.
Looking forward to more!

Very very nice ... Love it

The stock bootanimation + ctOS style has to be something awesome. Can you do it?
Thanks for your work!
Enviado desde mi OnePlus One usando Tapatalk

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 ?

If you're referring to the stock Android L boot animation, then yes, I'm already working on it! Classes just started for me, so I may be a bit busy for a while, but I'll work on this as much as I can.

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

So sorry it couldn't work for you! It looks like Mahdi ROM may not be working with any custom boot animations right now, so I've added that to the OP. I've also contacted the dev to let me know when that's been resolved, so we'll just have to sit tight and wait until that's working again....

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?

Click to expand...

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.

[SOLVED] How to change Boot animation of Huawei P8 Lite (ALE-L21)

Hello buddies,
Today I wanna share a little thing to you.. I always want to change the boot animation of my phone. when I bought Huawei P8 lite I had tried to do so. But I failed because like other previous version of Android (ICS,JB,KK) I didn't find the /media folder in root/system.. That's way flashble zip files of boot animation don't work if you flash them via custom recovery
I searched in google for a solution. I didn't find nothing new there. I also tried some apps like Bootanimation.apk. But the result was same. :crying: :crying:
Finally I solved this problem with my own effort and successfully changed the boot animation..
To change boot animation first of all you must root your device.. if you have a rooted device then download Root Explorer/ Es File Explorer or Something like these.
1. Launch the application which you installed and go to /root folder of your device.
2. Find /cust folder and Click on it.
3. Here you will see some folders. Just click on preinstalled folder.
4. Then go to /public/media folder and you will get a zip named bootanimation.zip. Just delete it or rename it like bootanimation.zip.bak.
5. Now just put your boot animation file in that folder and Reboot your device.
THAT'S ALL
CAUTIONS:
1. Download the boot animation file according to your disply resolution [P8 Lite (ALE-L21) Resolution is 720x1280 ]. Boot animation of other resolution won't work at all.
2. If you download a flashable zip file then extract it and use the bootanimation.zip file which you get inside it.

i can’t confirm that! I have F. v3.3 on my G5 too and had changed the both animations several times in the last few days. No problem at every try!!!
No matter witch solution i have tried.
Maybe you should try a boot logging app! I have installed LogCat for it.

I thought so, fulmics rom is awesome in every way .. Still, i dont really know why this is going on )

use LogCat as suggested!
BTW: You can try to rename the bootanimation.zip to bootanimation_ori.zip.
In this case, you should see the LG logo for 2 sec. followed by the small android logo!
If you see this android logo, the folder you have used was proper!

Ok so.. This is the solution.
Since my previos stock rom was from TIM, i was plaging a liitle bit and found a bootanimation.zip in root/OT and changed it to this one. All working now, no errors or the old boot animation !

lookin good
