Running Android Revolution HD 5.1.6 by mike1986So I downloaded the Call of Android boot animation using the Absolute System app. I copy/pasted into the /system/media/ where it should be using Root Explorer (File Manager) app. So after I pasted it in there, I rebooted and it didn't work.My question: Is this boot animation compatible with my phone? If it's not, oh well. If it is, did I do something wrong or is there something I didn't do?
Thanks in advance.

Check the android revolution thread and see what it says about boot animation. Make sure that's where its supposed to be for that rom. Also did you rename it to whatever its supposed to be named for that rom. I'm not sure if its bootanimation.whatever but look into that too (rename it to whatever the name of the file was you replaced).
You can replace HTC boot animation with any custom boot animation. Just replace bootanimation.zip in data/local

So I put it in /data/local and restarted. Nothing :/

My bootanimation.zip file needs to be located in system/customize/resource for the ROM in my sig. Dig around for where the file is supposed to be located for your ROM.
Edit: Also what the file name needs to be.
Well mine is in system/media/ and it's bootanimation.zip. I even tried installing it in clockwork recovery.

Just copy the file there using a file manager and re-boot. I don't think you need to flash a boot splash. That's all I do in my ROM. Just make sure the file is named correctly.
Well I put it in there, reboot and after it shows HTC, it goes black until sense loads

Found this over on the DHD forums. Put in /system/customize/resource with either Root Explorer or adb push. Make sure you set the directory to read/write mode and backup the existing one if you want to put it back
can i have it on Live Wallpaper
I do not have a bootanimation.zip file in that directory. I have a couple other *animation.zip files though. I'm running Android Revolution ROM (Sense UI).
Any ideas?
I have downanimation.zip and shutdown.zip
What gives?
It just means that that rom doesn't have a bootanimation.zip.

Try putting it in /data/local. That's where mine is and works fine.
I've done a few boot animations this way.. put the bootanimation.zip on the root of your SD card, and go into Terminal Emulator (you can download one from the Market for free) and type the following, hitting enter after each line:
su
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local/
reboot
note that when you hit enter after the 2nd line, it may take a few secons before you get the # sign again. once you see it, type reboot and enter. and you're all set!
Thats freaky!! Awesome, but freaky!

In stock ROMs, the bootanimation will be located in /system/customize/resource. Other ROMs, including Revolution, you will find it in /data/local.
The animations you're seeing in the resource folder is the shutdown animation
I flashed Humble 4.22 and I really don't like the animation. I would also like that robotic DRROID sound back. Does someone have the original files with instructions on how to change it?

First,
download the boot animation from here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/43901231/bootanimation.zip
and the bootup sound from http://dl.dropbox.com/u/43901231/PowerOn.wav and place them on your sd card.
Next, use root explorer and go to SYSTEM/media and rename the"bootanimation.zip" that is in there to "bootanimation.zip.bak" then copy the stock animation from your sd card to the system/media directory.
For the sound file, copy the "poweron.wav" from your sdcard to SYSTEM/etc using root explorer. Reboot and enjoy. =)

On ES file explorer the file in /system/bin/ is "bootanimation"
I can rename it to "bootanimation.bak"
Then I can paste your file, which shows up as "bootanimation.zip"
Will this work? I am afraid to reboot and try

Sorry, good catch. bootanimation.zip needs to go in system/media. I'll edit my previous post.

May have been a bad download. Try downloading the one from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1247131
And trying again.
Well it looks like the bootanimation in that thread only contains a black frame. So unless you can find another source or someone who knows more than me replies you're stuck with the humble animation (Unless you want to just keep the black screen). Sorry.
To go back to the humble animation just delete the new bootanimation.zip from system/media and remove the .bak from the original humble animation.

How can I do this? I want to get the Android eating the Apple boot on my phone. Is it just a simple flash in CWM?

no you will need to find that boot animation (or create it using this guide) then you will need use a file explorer to navigate to system/resources/customize and change bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.,zip.bak.
then place the new boot animation you found (android eating an apple) and place it in the system/resources/cuustomize folder. reboot and you will see it.
So, I would have to re-flash the current ROM?

No, no, no.... In my sig you have all info what you need.
With RootExplorer or EStrong file manager you only replace a boot & downanimation.
And you must change a permits for the new file (rw-,r--,r--)

I have ES Explorer, yet can't find a way to it. U went into settings and checked off root explorer.
I downloaded Root Explorer, and got it to work. Thanks guys!
I'm becoming less of a newb!!!
Im trying to install a custom boot animation on the recently-developed Cyanogenmod 9 ICS beta ROM (4.0.3) by Lupohirp (for my Optimus T) and I used ES file explorer to navigate to the either the /system/media directory or the /data/local directory and are having problems getting it to work.
Is it a ROM dependant issue why it won't show the custom boot animation?
Because when I put the bootanimation.zip file in the /system/media folder, it still defaults to the vanilla Android flashy logo.
If I try to paste it to the /data/local folder, it will come up with an error saying "bootanimation.zip paste failed!"

you need to make sure it's going in the right folder, some ROMs point to different places.
you also need to make sure you've given ES root and r/w mount privilege so it can paste stuff where you want.

It'll take me a bit to ask the creator of the rom since i need 10 posts, but I thought it could be a reason for where the ROM looks for the boot animation.
As for the root and read/write privlieges, i have set ES to request root from SuperUser and know which privileges i need to set (rw-r--r--) as informed by the creator of the boot animation.
Have you tried a boot anim utility?

No, but as soon as you posted that, i googled it and its an actually app. thats pretty cool ill try that.
Note: i tried again yesterday to get a boot animation to work and finally got it to paste into /data/local with rw-r--r-- permissions and even tried pasting it into /system/bin, but it wont work. Just boots up with the white LG logo on a black background, then to the lockscreen.
EDIT: Apparently there is no support for boot animation in this ROM for now, and its clear why it doesn't show one anymore at start up. i guess it did before, but now it doesn't.
Ill just wait to see how its updated in the future, but for now, thread resolved.

First of all, you should have a "bootanimation.zip" in root\system\media. You need to just start over. First download an animation you like on here, just to be able to start over fresh. Once you've got a good animation from here, ur good to go. Ok, so next you wanna open up ROOT EXPLORER and first set the system to R/W, then go into system\media and set it the same. So now that we got write capabilities, first just go into the system\media folder and pick a file that's always in there, long press on the file, and look at it's permissions, remember which boxes are checked. Then go back to where you downloaded your new animation file, and just simply copy it to the root\system folder for now. Next, long press, change owner to Root / Root on your file. Then long press again and hit permissions, check all the exact permissions boxes checked on that file from inside the media folder. Finally, rename the new boot animation you want to just "bootanimation". it'll be a zip. now hit ok to save all changes. Now, simply either delete the qmg file, or rename it bootanimation.zip, then move your bootanimation.zip file into system/media and if you opted to keep and rename the qmg, now that you simply named it the same, it will ask you if the want to overwrite the file, click yes. done. then to change, simply repeat. to switch it all the time
