[FROYO]Original Android Boot logo

Here is a simple tweak for your phone for having the "ANDROID" logo at boot:
get bootanimation from emulator
push it to sdcard (adb push bootanimation /sdcard/)
mount system read-write (mount -o remount,rw /dev/stl6 /system)
copy bootanimation (cp /sdcard/bootanimation /system/bin)
chmod bootanimation (chmod 777 /system/bin/bootanimation)
Change playlogo (or samsunglogo if you have lagfix) to something with nothing but header on it (like #!/system/bin/sh).

Will the trick work on 2.1 ?

Maybe, maybe not. It will work if you get a bootanimation from 2.1 .

Work on gt-i5500?
copy bootanimation (cp /sdcard/bootanimation /system/bin)

works well, thank you
@marcioddf type in cmd adb shell and then type the commands
if you have rooted your phone, you also should type su

Hello,
Thank you for your work!

Awesome it work but....
Can we have more different boot animations, other than these two (Samsung & android).

of course you can use custom bootanimation.
search for bootanimation.zip files on google for android and copy the file to
/system/media/ or /data/local/ you can also create your own animations, or just a picture.

When replacing this file in system/bin/
in your Clean JPA ROM it shows that there is insufficient space to carry out the paste.
It worked fine in JPF, but since I wanted the lock screen I reverted to JPA.
Help, please?

Did you remount /system rw ?

Yes.
I followed all your instructions, let me try it once more...
Oh, damn, flashed the phone to JPF clean.
Alright will do it in the near future.
EDIT: Tried it in JPF, and it did not work.
Weird, I had it work just a few hours ago on the same firmware...

it works for me without problems on JPF

don't understand where should i write this commands? can i do something with root explorer? or should i write all commands in emulator in my phone?
EDIT:
So i copied bootanimation to system/bin, then removed original bootanimation, then renamed downloaded bootanimation from bootanimation.bin to bootanimation and now everything is working. All done with rootexplorer.

WTH? you are copying tje file, and deleting it then? take a screenshot pls

i am deleting stock bootanimation and copying new one to same direction. only bootanimation name witch i downloaded was bootanimation.bin so i had to rename it to bootanimation without bin words.
So what we need to do is (all this i did with rootexplorer):
1) download new bootanimation to sdcard
2)rename bootanimation.bin to bootanimation
3)copy new bootanimation to directory where is our stock bootanimation (don't remember now), and that's all. When you are copying new bootanimation you must get message do you want to replace bootanimation file, if you will get this message it means that everything is ok. restart phone and you should get stock android bootanimation.
sorry for my english

and that worked?

yes it worked for me.

are you using JPF? where did you copied the file?
comes the samsung logo at startup?

[Boot Animation] Nexus Prime Official adjusted for the Note

Didn't notice anyone's uploaded this for the Note so here it is. I just adjusted the leak boot animation from this thread to fit the fullscreen of the Note (instead of 720x1280 of the Prime). Check the thread to see a low-quality preview of how the boot animation looks like
Credits go to febycv
YOUR NOTE MUST HAVE ROOT (and CWM) TO USE THIS Get both from the CF ROOT thread or any kernel with CWM.
Instructions (modified from febycv's thread):
1. Download the required file to your sdcard
2. Use root explorer or equivalent to go to /data/local and place the bootanimation.zip there (if it doesn't work, try /system/media/).
4. Reboot
Download Here
EDIT: To get rid of / replace the Power On sound, delete/rename/replace /system/etc/1_Power_On.ogg (or something similar). The Power Off sound file is also in the same folder...

Thanks.
It works like a charm.

i dont kbow why. But i placed the file in data/local . But it didnt change anything. Hmm
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App

You could try just placing it under /system/media/ also.

Brilliant can't wait to try it out when I go home.

Thanks!!It work very well!!

And it looks beautiful, worked just by placing it in /data/local.
Thanking you very much.

i have the hong kong 2.3.6 and it threw me into bootloop

Thks. Will try.

WOW, thanks!
I put it under /system/media/

You need to have a kernel with CWM to use this without flashing. You would have lost that when you flashed the (stock) KKA firmware. Get the latest CFRoot KKA kernel from Chainfire's thread

Great !!!
Just changed my bootanimation - put it into: data/local -> workes fine !
THX very much !

Hi All
I downloaded the boot animation, its folder on my mac after the download and when i transfer it on my note, it says boot animation.zip
I took this and pasted it in the local folder, nothing happened... then i pasted it in media and still nothing happens !!!
I sure that the boot animation for my note is in the media folder since i can see many things in that folder and there is nothing in the local folder...
I am on the KKA firmware with the CF-rooted kernel which i downloaded from the chain fire's thread and its perfectly installed
But till now I have not been able to make this work...
Is there step i am missing??? do i need to tale some files out of the boot animation.zip and place it in the folders or just download the .zip from this thread and then move it to the folder on my note?? (this what i have been doing till now)

Changing boot animations

I have read the information on manually changing the boot animations, but has anyone used a tool to do it? Rom Tool Box and a slew of other apps have change boot animation functions. I was just wondering if anyone has successfully used any stand alone app to accomplish this? also boot logos?

I tried Rom Toolbox but it doesn't chance animation on mine. I don't know nor can find where the settings or the directory is on the tf700 is to change it in Rom toolbox. If you know... please share it or a link to the answer. Thanks
Ice, rooted and unlocked. NVflash backup

Boot Animations works fine.

Apparemtly tf700 users can't get this to work either. just need to know which dir tf700 actually uses.

How To Change, Customize & Create Android Boot Animation [Guide]
So you have found a boot animation that you want to install on your phone? Created one of your own and can’t wait to see it in action on your device? All you have to do is copy it at a certain location on your device. There are two locations you can copy it: /data/local and /system/media, and both have their advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages of copying it to /data/local is that you will not require root access for it and it should work for all non-rooted devices without running the risk of changing anything in the /system partition. Furthermore, if a bootanimation.zip file is found in both locations, Android ignores the one found in /system/media and gives priority to the one in /data/local. A disadvantage of this method is that upon a hard reset (also called a full data wipe or a factory reset), the new boot animation will be lost.
Copying the boot animation to /system/media/ is possible only if your device is rooted and you have read+write access to the /system partition. An advantage of this method is that upon a hard reset, the new boot animation will still remain and there will be no need to apply it again. A disadvantage is that it requires ADB or a root level file browser such as Root Explorer or Super Manager.

Thanks for the info. I saw that and tried it but no luck. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Tried to change it with ROM Toolbox pro also an doesn't work. Am rooted and unlock but no JOY. I did find the /system/media/bootanimation.zip file but it just doesn't load.
Update: I copied the animation.zip files to both /system/media and also data/local. The only thing that loads is the White Asus sign for about 5 sec then a Black screen for about 20 sec then boots normally. Theres got to be a setting that directs the bootanimation file to load but can't find what file the boot looks for to load where to find bootanimation.zip.

This, to me, looks like the animation is corrupt or is not a boot animation. Check out this tool. Restore the original animation to /system/media and then use the one in the link of my previous post and put that in /data/local.

Thanks. I checked out the program and tried it but got errors pushing the file. to /media but it worked going to /local. tried previewing with romtools pro but not working. I'm stumped. Found a bunch of treads for this problem but nothing. files are not corrupted. I can get the boot animation files to run outside of android on a pc ect but not while trying to get them to animate inside there folders.... /local or /media. Somewhere in the boot process it's not loading. Need to find out why the White Asus animation works for a few seconds and where it is. It used to turn Brown/ Goldish and rotate but no longer. Anyone else with any guess's?
Also: Forgot to mention am using the JB bootloader.

That is not the boot animation of Asus, it's a still image embedded in either the bootloader or something close to it. It's not mean to be customized, the metallic ASUS logo with the light effect and then the circular progress indicator are part of the default bootanimation.zip

Yes of Course I'd be willing to share it. As I said I can view it outside of the floders on a Windows PC running the boot animtion progam. The one I was tring to install comes with RomToolbox Pro. The droid Peeing on an APPLE... need a few hours sleep as am to tied to keep messin with this. will get back to you... OH... I deleted all animation zip files also and still get the ASUS screen. non animated. whereever that file is it's corrupted I think.

Sorry for the wait. I have no way of uploading the animation file in question here. Looking for somewhere to upload it so you can look at it but as I said the file is not the problem. I need to reinstall the bootloader which is 9.4.5.30r01 Not sure how to just do that as I haven't looked into it. The 9.4.5.30r01 came from the nvflash tread in this forum. I need to research if I install a jb bootloader if I still have nvflash "JUST IN CASE" Have a nice day.

No problem, I have ROM Toolbox myself and got the animation. While playing around (copying animations to my tablet from my NAS) I figured out what might be wrong on your side.
Make sure your bootanimation.zip is in /data/local and set the file permissions to rw-r--r--.

Thanks I already tried that. I found that in a post days ago but no luck. permissions where set right. Since my last post I updated to the 10.4.4.18 the odex version and I got bootanimation back. I backed it up using trwp 2.3.1.0 and tried changing it with Rom toolbox again. I set the paths to data/local in the settings. I installed the new bootanimation.zip file and rebooted. It would not boot up at all. Got past the white asus and went blank and I waited 10-15 min but noting. I rebooted by holding down power button for like 10-15sec and still would not boot up. Had to go back to trwp and reinstall my .18 backup and it started right up. Am going to give up for now till I can find out what is causing this for me and not others. Theres just something I'm missing and haven't pinned it down. Thanks for your time and effort. really appreciate it.
Update: 10-22 @11:34 pm. I got it working... Installed CleanRom 2.3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919851
Not even sure what I did other than flashed, wiped and reset. I checked the location of the bootanimation directory in this rom and it was only in /system/media. I read all the treads and info I could find. I used Rom Toolbox pro https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolboxpro&feature=search_result and changed settings to install it in /data/local as everywhere I read suggested that directory. If you've read what I've tried in the past I already did that over and over. Checked the permissions of the file and all. the one thing I didn't do was remount the zip file after copying to the directory. I didn't think I would have needed to since toolbox would have handled that... I though. Thats the only thing I can think of why it wouldn't load on boot is because it wasn't remounting. Anyways. I got it working but to be honest I still don't know why and I actually wanted to know why... A learning experiance if you want. One more time... Thanks a million for your time.

The reason why it don´t work is that Asus maybe has integrated a check of system files in some asus app or in the kernel (don´t now)
Changing Bootanimation does only work for me with a cleanrom and cm10.
as you sad when you change it in the stock rom it wont boot anymore.
So Asus dont want that someone removes their bootanimation i think

You don't have to remove/replace the Asus bootanimation. Just place your own in /data/local set the correct permissions and you're good to go.

[APP] [T285] [2017/12/11] Add Custom Bootanimation

Custom Boot Animation
Change the bootanimation that shows AFTER the boot logo.
This has only been tested on the T285, but should work on the T280.
This app does make a backup of the original bootanimation and the bootanimation.zip and stores it on your /sdcard as bootanimation.bak and bootanimation.zip.bak
MAKE SURE YOUR SDCARD IS MOUNTED WHEN YOU GET INTO TWRP or CWM.
(Have NOT tested in CWM as I have TWRP installed).
To change the bootanimation, replace the system/media/bootanimation.zip in the .zip file with your own bootanimatio.zip file.
Remember the Galaxy TAB A (SM-T285) display is 720x1280.
NOTE: The bootanimation.zip MUST NOT be compressed when creating the bootanimation.zip. Under 'compression method' select 'store'.
Steps to install:
- Reboot into recovery
- Select Install from recovery menu
- Select TAB-A-T285-Custom_Bootanimation.zip
- Follow recovery install prompts
- Reboot and enjoy!
If you need a restore script, please contact me or post a message.

Could be that other bootanimations over-wrote the saved, original bootanimation files.
Original bootanimation files were saved on internal sdcard as *.bak files.
Best way to learn to create a bootanimation is to unzip one and look at the file structure. They are very easy to create. Also, "Google Search" is your friend. You need to make sure you are using a bootanimation (in /system/bin) file that is compatible with the O/S you are using. Otherwise, you will get a blank screen.

[ROOT] [HD 10] Customize your boot animation

I finally figured out what was stopping a custom boot animation from being installed onto the HD 10 running stock FireOS. This guide will show you how to replace the boot animation, to just about anything you want. For reference, we are using my favorite Android boot animation from Marshmallow, but there is Lollipop boot animation as well. You need to be rooted in order to complete this guide.
****THIS MAY NOT WORK FOR YOUR TABLET. RESULTS CAN VARY. YOU ARE PERFORMING THIS GUIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK. WORST CASE SCENERIO: NO BOOT ANIMATION (MUST REFLASH YOUR CURRENT VERSION OF FIRE OS TO RESTORE IT)****
1. Download the Marshmallow boot animation zip from this thread (1080p is perfect) to your internal storage. Using a root explorer, open the zip file and tap system then media and extract 'bootanimation.zip' to your internal storage.
2. Download 'bootanimation.zip' at the end of this post and extract the 'bootanimation' file to your desktop PC or the internal storage of your tablet. (THIS IS NOT A FLASHABLE ZIP FILE)
3. Again, using a root explorer, navigate to /system/bin and make a copy the 'bootanimation' file and back it up to a folder in your storage. Now copy the 'bootanimation' file you downloaded in step 2 and paste it in /system/bin, overwriting the existing one. Make sure to set the permissions of the file to rwxr-xr-x
4. Using a root explorer again, go back to your internal storage and copy the 'bootanimation.zip' you extracted earlier in step 1. Then navigate to /system/media and paste 'bootanimation.zip'. Set the permissions to rw-r--r--
5. Reboot and watch your animation. See video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lmNGAn_YIY
HOW?
The answer was in /system/bin. Amazon modified the 'bootanimation' file in /system/bin so only their boot animation is the one used. If you had only placed the zip in /system/media, the animation would animate for a few seconds, freeze and just before the end of booting, would start to animate again. I tried portrait and landscape. I tried different resolutions. I tried different animations and every one of the animations would freeze. I opened up the ROM for the Fire 7 (Fire Nexus ROM by @ggow) and copied the 'bootanimation' file from /system/bin over to the stock FireOS ROM on the HD 10, and set the proper permissions. Problem solved!
Updates:
January 11, 2019: The bootanimation-STOCK.zip attached below, contains the stock FireOS bootanimation. Simply delete the bootanimation.zip in /system/media (if there is one). Extract/unzip the bootanimation-STOCK.zip into internal storage and copy/paste the bootanimation file to /system/bin, overwriting the one there.

Awesome post, as always, Mr. DragonFire1024

Heads up. If you simply overwrite the file in /system/bin with the bootanimation file (not the zip) and reboot, you get a surprise. I don't want to ruin it With that said, if someone could extend that animation a little...

Should be able to copy the .zip from /system/media to the same folder on the HD 10. The worst that can happen is it won't work (but won't break anything. You may get a black screen until the booting finishes) or the graphics will be too small.
Edit: still need to overwrite the bootanimation file in system/bin no matter what animation you want to use. It just needs to be done once

I cannot, regardless of what I do, get this to work.
I have followed the instructions - exactly - multiple times now.
I have tried numerous bootanimation.zip, including the one linked to in OP.
Files are in the proper locations, file permissions are set as specified.
It doesn't matter if I have the zip in /system/media or not, I get a black screen until UI loads.
Power on --> amazon logo --> black screen --> UI, no matter what I seem to do.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is driving me nuts, I just don't understand what I'm missing or doing wrong.

Yeah, I followed all the directions and still cant get it to work nor can I get the original boot animation to work.

I can't either. I tried after reading your comment.
No zip in /media, restored bootanimation in /bin to the original, still just a black screen during boot.
So this broke the bootanimation altogether.
Edit: I will add that my stock OS was 5.6.0.1. I suspect something has changed from previous versions, what was your stock version? What was OP's?

You have to place the bootanimation.zip in /system/media after overwriting the file in /system/bin. Unzip the animation in the link in OP. There will be another zip inside it. that's the zip you use.

Yeah I follow, and I did so several times. I can't even revert to having the stock "fire" boot animation.
Following the guide effectively broke my boot animation altogether. Again, I cannot even go back to having the original boot animation. Same thing the guy who replied after me reported as well.

Make sure the permissions are set correctly. .bin file: rwxr-xr-x and the .zip: rw-r--r--

Yes, I have, numerous times. As I have said.
I'm going to flash my system.img backup and see if that restores the stock boot animation, because nothing else has.
Edit: dd-ing my system.img of my post-root supersu backup restored my boot animation to stock.
Final Edit/Update:
Confirming that this does indeed work. I'm not sure what exactly I did the first time, but it completely botched the boot animation.
dd'd system.img (I had other compelling reasons to anyway), followed the instructions again, exactly as they are written.
I didn't even extract the zip on PC and then push, I did it all in ES.
The first time I did this I think I had some sort of permission issues (had to delete bootanimation and then paste the replacement, couldn't overwrite), and I suspect that combined with a little user error ruined boot animation. Anyway, thank you for the guide @DragonFire1024. This is a little thing, but completely worth it, imo.

Very strange but glad it worked. You can now have just about any boot animation you can find. Simply replace the zip in /system/media, give permissions, reboot. Just make sure to have the right resolution ?

I still have no idea where I messed it up. It seems like ES wasn't actually in Root Explorer, it showed the permissions as being set, but they definitely weren't.
Was weird that I could delete then paste bootanimation in /bin but not overwrite.
Of course, right after I got this working I used a boot animation that wasn't the right resolution.
I thought 1440p would just look better, not give me a bootloop
I've spent way too much time on merely changing the boot animation. :laugh:
