Here is the full screen honeycomb boot animation. I noticed people were having problems with one that wasn't filling up the whole screen.
I have tested this on my Droid X running Liberty 1.5. Not sure if it's universal so if someone could comment on if this is working on other phones that would be great. I am not responsible for any damages to your phone.

Thanks for doing this it looks great!
I don't have liberty, can you flash this via clockwork?
Works on Rubix focused, thanks! Didn't flash via clockwork.
Used root explorer to copy the zip to system/media and rebooted, started right up. The animation almost gave me a seizure though...
been looking for a nice animation this one will do thanks alot
I'm glad you all like this!

Honeycomb boot animation
Save bootanimation.zip to root of sd card
Using root explorer or something similar, go to data/local and delete the current file named bootanimation.zip
Now go to the SD card and then copy the file bootanimation.zip and go back to data/local and paste the file there
restart phone and enjoy new animation
Very nice, this even works on the stock rom that's been deodexed.
Thank you sir!
Glad to hear it. Hoping I can get this working on gingerbread since they decided not to change the boot animation

Hey guys, I have been told to post this here as I have not made enough posts..
I tried to change my boot animation, by placing the bootanimation.zip file in both /system/media and /data/local and all still plays the Samsung boot logo although with no sound.. So searched through the forums here and everyone tells you that you need a custom rom to get it to work if your phone has the /system/media/bootsamsung.qmg file...
I then cooked a package from romkitchen and installed that but have the same issue, even though I can see the bootanimation.zip file in /system/media/ I can also still see the bootsamsung.qmg as well.
I have only just got this phone about a week ago, so have searched thoroughly, in case I was missing something but i don't think I am..
Can someone help me with what’s going on?
No one able to help me with this one?
Hm you should easily be able to change bootanimation with the rom kitchen.
Remember that you can not change the white text at the beginning of the boot.
I think the files stay there, they dont get removed, just another one gets used if its present, if not the stock animation will be used.

Thanks for the reply,
I'm not sure if this helps, I have cooked a new one today and applied and it said to keep this log incase I have issues.
http://romkitchen.org/logs/G0ceUf3inJ.txt
I can see the file is in the folder, it just does not seem to take affect.
I am assuming that people have got these working on i9000's before and it's just me..
I still have not managed to get this working, starting to think that I am tripping..
All it seems to do is kill the samsung boot sound.
Anyone else got any ideas?

Do you use a stock rom?
This probably doesn't work because your android is not looking for the bootanimation.zip.
Custom ROMs have a modded start up script which tells the system to look for the .zip file.
I am using a rom from rom kitchen..
I have changed it again since I made post above but still a custom rom..

Yes, wipe rom, Hardcore's Kernel, boot animation, and everything else is prittly much the default setting in rom kitchen

Did you delete the boot animation file out of system/media,&put the new animation zip AND rename it to the same name as the one you deleted?
Sent from my EVO 4G using XDA Premium App
I have tried selecting the bootanimation from RK, and also downloading one from elsewhere and replacing the one that is there.
Both have the same effect..
Weird,I had trouble switching mine too. The only way I've been able to do it is using the app called File Explorer. It's like 10 dollars on the market, but I found it for free. I put the new zip on my card, then file explorer/system/media, delete the boot animation zip,paste the new zip & rename it to the name of the zip that was there. It's worked every time. Flashing a new splash screen is a little different....

I will try this again now and see how i go..
Just to clarify the splash screen is the white text right?
I am not trying to change that just the colored samsung animation.
The splash screen is the first screen you see when you turn your phone on. It doesn't move, & most often just says the name of the phone. Then the boot animation comes on, it moves & plays some kind of music. Do you have file explorer? If not, don't buy it,I can help you get it for free.

I have Root Explorer that I use to access that location.
I have tried another bootanimation from this spot -http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905538
I tried both of the sizes for the AndroidParticles2 and set the permissions to rw-r-r
(Renaming to bootanimations.zip and placing in system\media)
but still the samething happens.
Yeah, my bad,I meant Root Explorer. But it had to be bootanimation.zip take the s off
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Sorry typo, I don't have the s on my i9000.
Well that's how I change mine. I did download a particle ring android (blue) and couldn't get it to work right. Seems to me like you're doing everything right. There's one other option I know of. Download a free program called android flasher.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794638
You should be able to flash boot animations & splash screens with no problem. It is a .rar, so if you don't have the program you'll need to download winrar or something similar to extract & install the files. Google it, the program is free.

Thanks for your help today, at least I know now that I wasn't just doing something stupid.
Wondering if anyone can help...I love the Trinity kernel but I really don't like the splash screen and boot image it installs, and when I try to go into themes and select another boot sequence it doesnt override the Trinity one. Any ideas or help??
I am running MIUI with Trinity
Just a question but do you mean you download the boot animation and flash it through clockwork.

Download the bootanimation you want and drag the bootanimation.zip into /system/media. The splash screen i dont know how to change but i would also like to know...
using application such as Root Explorer
find or make an animation file (format ZIP) I can provide one
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7B5J2XBE
copy or paste it to /system/media , replace the old one , and set permission , i don't remember exactly what permission , but i am using 777
this is my current boot amination from cartoon "Neon Genesis Evangelion", of course you can find other ones you like, this is just for you to know it and comprehend it
remember , most important is SET PERMISSION
if you DO NOT set permission , you will be experience unstoppable reboot loop , you just keep rebooting ...only way to recover is using recovery to restore your backup or flash new ROM, maybe you can fix it via ADB in bootloader, but i don't know
any way , you better back your system up by recovery

be careful with MIUI , specially when you apply theme , if theme contains boot sound or boot animation , it may replace and overrun the default
there's also an app call ROM toolbox ( i have the paid app ) and there's many different options, one being the ability to change the boot animation ( with around 150 options ). i would definitely check it out.
sounds nice , but it will makes you feel more sense of fulfillment if you get it done by you own, don't you think
You can't lose the Trinity splash screen unless you compile the kernel yourself without it.

getting confused about which method to use.
in the OP of Viper OneS ROM, it says to use the Aroma tool, but there's a boot animation change option within the Venom Tweak app.
and this thread talks about different methods entirely, and mentions CWM flasher, but doesn't mention TWRP.
wat 2 do, wat 2 do.....

You can change your boot animation on any hboot, bc its located in the system partition. You just need root. You only need a lower hboot to change the bootsplash (ie the non animated logo before the animation).
The boot animation files depend on the ROM you are using.I think for viper its /system/customize/resources/bootanimation.zip
Just replace that file with the .zip of the bootanimation of your choice (also make sure to fix the file permissions to what they were in the original file).
RomToolbox on the PlayStore has a good BootAnimation feature (as well as many other features, a download I would recomend for any root user) and can often find the Boot animation file for you and has a lot of additional bootanimations too. Its a good tool to switch boot animations automatically (and can back up your current boot animation too)

You're on a One S device I'm assuming right cuzI've played with 4 of them with absolutely no issues?? Do NOT edit them just put them on ur sd than move them to 'System/Media' but (DO) save the original one in that area so u have it to go back to and write down the original ones 'Permissions' so u can check the proper ones off on the one u replace it with.

Hello, I would like to install a new boot animation.
I rooted my S3, installed Rom toolbox pro and went through the different boot animations. I previewed several of them. Installed the one I liked (actually changed the size to the max size as well, hopefully this isn't the cause of the issue I'm having). and even viewed the current animation (which it actually showed the one I choose).
I then rebooted as I couldn't find any other options for confirming that I selected a new animation. However my phones original animation continues to show.
With this I did a little digging and on a youtube video someone eluded to having to move the animation to another file, but gave no direction on how to perform this task.
I can't seem to get the animation to actually install or become my boot animation. What am I doing wrong? Please help
Edit: I've looked through similar threads on this forum and while at least 1 of them had the same issue, I couldn't find a solution that fixes this issue. (unless I just completely missed it of course and in that case please just point me in the right direction)
Thank you for taking the time to look and any help you can provide
Ok, I'm really pulling my hair out here. All of the videos and instructions I have found have looked really simple (just click this button "install" and it works) whereas when I follow their "insturctions" nothing happens.
I know this is a simple process here but I am missing something.

in system/media there should be a file named bootanimation.zip overwrite it. fix permissions to match the folder/old one :good:
so the easiest way to get them from romtoolbox would be to download and move like i said. not the safest to let it install on its own.
also, half of the boot animations on there are not even in the correct dimensions. there are plenty of places on XDA and other sites where you can find WAY more , and probably in the correct size. hope this helps.
another thing : in the themes and apps section, there are even flashable boot animations. saves some of the hassle.

Thank you so much for the reply, however (as I am newer) I am stuck.
I went into system > Media and found no such file as bootanimation.zip.
I have seen this solution before, so I know others have had success with it. However it isn't there.
I have root access and I'm access this file system through rom toolbox, root browser.
There are no .zip files in that folder at all. The closest I came to is bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg
Now, I did check out the theme and app section but couldn't find this same issue there.
Thank you for your assistance.
Update:
I downloaded Root Explorer and found the file you were referring to. Another thread suggested to rename the file bootanimation_bak.zip. I thought that route was a little less evasive as it didn't really get rid of the old boot animation. However, when I did that and copied the new animation in it still registered the original animation.
So, with that said, should I follow your first instructions as to overwrite the original file or is there something else here that I'm missing?

Try renaming the original bootanimation file to bootanimation.zip.bak then move the boot animation you want to system/media and name it bootanimation.zip. If that doesn't work it might be that the rom/kernel doesn't support custom boot animations.

No dice.
I thought you were on to something here as I found the system/media folder and had to change the permission to r/w and placed the boot animation.zip into it. However my old persistent one keeps popping up.
Now maybe I'm totally skipping a whole step here that everyone is assuming I'm taking. Do I have to have a custom Rom installed? I haven't done that yet, as none of the videos I've watched had instructed to do so. I'm rooted, that's it at this point.

Yes, the issue is the kernel not the rom. Your stock kernel is overwriting the boot animation. Considering you did do everything as the other user instructed you to do. You renamed the stock boot animation to .Bak and you renamed the one you want to play bootanimation.zip and placed it in the same folder?

Ok here are a couple screen shots of what I'm working with. I have followed every instruction through this thread.
This first shot is of the System/media folder. I pasted my new bootanimation.zip file here. Originally there was not a Bootanimation file here at all.
View attachment 2181932
This second screenshot of the Data/local folder. This is where the orginal bootanimation.zip file was located. I was instructed to rename it as Bootanimation_bak.zip and paste my new Bootanimation.zip file here. Then was suggested that I change it from "_bak.zip" to ."zip.bak". Neither suggestion worked. Then it was suggested to move my new bootanimation.zip from the Data/local folder to the system/media folder. I did so and I changed the original name back to bootanimation_bak.zip. And this is where I currently am stuck at.

Now, I haven't done anything with my bootloader. I'm wondering if that is my issue, if I need to unlock my bootloader. I didn't want to get to involved with things that I didn't understand to fast and felt that replacing my boot animation seemed simple enough. So, do I need to unlock my boot loader?
Thanks so much for all of the time and effort.
As another user mentioned the stock kernel you are using doesn't allow you to use a custom boot animation. You will have to unlock your boot loader in order to flash a custom kernel that allows you to change the boot animation.

Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Just make sure the kernel you flash is for your carrier and either touch wiz or aosp. If you're stock rooted it will be touch wiz. Just look through the development forums and find what works best for you. Right now I'm on bonestock rom with stock kernel but I really like Zeus kernel as well.
