Im s-off and rooted but cant seem to find the bootanimation.zip in /system/media. Where is it hiding?
You need to do a couple of things, provided this is a T-Mobile Sensation.
1. Open up something like Root Explorer and navigate to where you put the bootanimation.zip you want to use.
2. Copy it from there then go to /system/customize/resource.
3. If using Root Explorer, then make sure to click the "Mount R/W" button.
4. Paste it there.
5. Find the file "TMOUS_bootanimation.zip" and rename it to "TMOUS_bootanimation.zip.bak" or something of the like.
6. Rename the file you pasted to "TMOUS_bootanimation.zip" and reboot.
Thanks bro...I just couldnt find the damn thing

I was messing around with root explorer and noticed that i was able to delete my boot animation with it when i was mounted as R/W so i thought i would try to copy one and it also works... so no need to push with adb shell.. here are the steps
1. take the boot animation make sure it is named bootanimation.zip and copy it to your SD card
2. then open root explore and mount R/W and then navigate to the file and press on file till the menu comes up and select copy
3. then navigate to data/local and paste the file in the local directory
and you are done, this can be done with the android_audio.mp3 file as well just paste it to the same place.
just thought this would make it easier for people instead of using adb shell

Exactly what I was looking for, I'll give it a try, thanks.
The Animation worked but the Audio didn't, do you also need to put the Audio in a zip file?
I didn't think that you needed root to access /data/
So in that case, would need Root Explorer? Wouldn't any file manager do?
Yeah, you dont need root access at all for this.
just adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/

need to look at the text file in your bootanimations.zip and add the words android to the front of the text in that file
Hello everybody, can we have this awesome bootanimation ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11879611#post11879611
If yes, wich file must we download and how apply it? I'm on 2.2 CM 6.1.3
I just tried it... and it works on the X10i. But it is rather very slow and laggy.
I downloaded the one with the black background instead of grey.
1. Once downloaded, rename the file to bootanimation.zip
2. Install Root Explorer if you dont have it.
3. Mount your sdcard and copy bootanimation.zip onto it and then unmount.
4. Open root explorer.
5. Copy the bootanimation.zip file from your sdcard and then go to /system/media.
6. Paste bootanimation.zip in /system/media. Make sure you have r/w mounted in order to paste/overwrite the default boot animation.
7. You are done. Reboot phone to see.
Hi,
Can anyone point me in the right direction.
I am looking for the default Inspire 4G at&t boot animation. Would like to put that on my Inspire.
I am currently running CM7 Gingerbread and I'm just not fond of that boot animation.
Thanks in advance.
Search in these threads. I have already posted it for someone else.
Edit: I actually found it quickly so here is the link.

Thanks for the reply.
I have actually downloaded yours and tried to flash it in CWM. It didn't work. Maybe because I'm on Gingerbread. Any suggestions?
It will not flash through CWM. You need to use a program such as Root Explorer to copy and paste it into the default location which is usually System/Customize/Resource.

I found big lou's guide and it worked.
Just used the command: adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
You can change the bootanimation anytime you like. First, the file has to actually *be* a bootanimation. All you do is place the bootanimation.zip - it must read EXACTLY that way, bootanimation.zip - onto the root of your SD Card. That means, it shouldn't be in a folder or anything. Next using Root Explorer (make sure you have read/write ability (there's a button at the top of the display, when you first open Root Explorer which reads R/O. Push it once, and it changes to R/W, meaning that you have Read/Write permissions). Next go to the SD Card, find the bootanimation.zip that you placed there earlier and long-press on it. This brings up a menu with several choices, I always choose Copy. That copies the bootanimation, and you then back up one level to the first screen you saw, when you chose R/W. Scroll down a little until you find "data", and click on it to open it. Scroll down again until you come to a file called "local", and open it. There should be two or three things in view (a largely empty folder) and that is the place that you push the button saying "Paste". Once it pastes the bootanimation there, back out of Root Explorer, reboot your phone and you should now have your new bootanimation displaying.

Thanks for the response, I'll keep that in mind to try next time. I did get it to work without going into root explorer.

yesssss Thank you..!! XD
Simple as that.
Goes for HTC EVO 3D too, as well as any 540×960 android phone.
Animation ported from "Google齿轮" MIUI theme.
Make it:
/system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip, or
/system/customize/resource/TMOUS_bootanimation.zip, if you have a T-Mobile Sensation, or
/system/customize/resource/VF_bootanimation.zip, if you have a Vodafone Sensation.
nice one.... thanks
Thanks a lot for this.
Just renamed the current bootanimation.zip file, copied this one into its place, rebooted and it's working fine.
Cheers!
Seems i can't copy the zip file to the system folder.
Got an error about "read only"!
What am i doing wrong?
(sorry about bad english, i'm dutch!)

permissions?
Yeah i think it has something to do with permissions but I don't know how I can change this.
Tried to Google it but couldn't find it.
Ps. Using ASTRO to copy the files.

Use es file explorer from market (better than astro imho). Put on root option and mount system as writable. Then you can rename original bootanimation.zip and place new as bootanimation.zip. if you don't like new one, delete bootanimation.zip and rename original to bootanimation.zip

Thanks for the info m_speksnijder, with ES Explorer it works!
New bootscreen looks great!
I think I am going mad I have flashed 4.1.7 and cant seem to find where to put the boot amimation? I thought I would have to replace one that is already there? sorry if a stupid question but if you can help it would be great
I have something caled downanimation in system/customize/resource but that is the only zip file in there, do I just to copy this file to this directory and reboot?
EDIT its ok it is in data/local if anybody else needs the file location
cheers for a great boot animation

Using ES file explorer. Put on root? Do you mean root your device? If that case, I am rooted, and all that.
But I can't find System folder :S
Open ES, hit menu button, scroll down to "root options" section, turn on both options (root explorer and mount file system), exit menu, klik on the blue star on the left in de topbar and click on the "phone" icon. Then navigate to "system/customize/resource" or "data/local" (depends on the rom your using). than follow my earlier post. If you're done, turn of the option "mount file system" just to be sure you do not delete anything when scrolling around in your system partitions.

Thx! Now, just download bootanimation/downanimation and rename the new one? Then restart the device and all done?
And what happens if I accedentaly delete something when scrolling down?
Thanks works like a charm. I change permissions just in case.
Nice work...
I like it! Clean, simple... very nice.
Hi could some please post the att mms.apk and tw launcher from the att skyrocket in a zip format so i can flash them to my rogers phone. Thanks very much
This is not.the place to have this.

download ANY ROM and extract it. it is located in /system/app. Use rootexplorer to replace the file and reboot... done!
thanks but how exactly do i do that i found them in file exploer but did not know what to do from their
download any ROM to a PC,
extract the files,
hook ur phone up to the PC and drag them over to a storage area,
purchase rootexplorer from the market,
launch root explorer and grant root access,
use rootexplorer to locate the files in the storage area,
Once found do a long tap and select "copy",
go back to /system/app via RE and hit the little "mount r/w" radio button,
choose paste at the bottom...
when i try to open system app for the rom it gives me the option to oper with zip viewer apk handler text etc which one do i use
also when i press mount rw i dont see a paste option

And u wont until u have the file to copy/replace the one in system/app like the Guy above said u can use root explorer EXTRACT the rom then go to the extracted folder it will ask u to do so. Navigate to the system/app copy whatever files u need and paste them into the system app folder of ur phone and reboot
And ur done

Here you go!
wow thanks guys one last noob question, where is the thank you buttom
never mind found it
Sorry when i paste the apk into system/ app then reboot it dosnt work so when i try long pressing then install it says problem parshing package
I never had much luck extracting on the device which is why I say do it on a PC. Drop the APKs on your desktop and then transfer them to your device. The use RE to copy/paste them in /system/app.
i downloaded the apk mms and tw launcher from a previous post and it still didnt work
when i paste the in system app it shows the name but no icon and they just stay at the top also when i reboot their is no change
and you are using rootexplorer, not some other program? at the top does it say "mount r/w" or "mount r/o"?
i press the button so it says rw then the other option comes up. when i paste the apk it shows up but no icon and when i reboot nothing.
im in rw mode when i paste mms.apk it shows up at the top but it dosnt have the icon then when i reboot no changes are made
