The only way i know of in MIUI to change boot animation is by going into themes and customizing the boot animation via downloading random chinese MIUI boot animations online. Say i've got my own bootanimation.zip? How can I make that my current boot animation without MIUI getting in the way? Should i just put it in system/bin? That's it? Or is their something else i have to do? <.< Any help is greatly appreciated
Miui themes (including the bootanimation) are stored in .mtz files. They are just zip archives with specific contents. My suggestion is to download one of the online bootanimaions available for miui and then open it winrar or 7zip and you can see what the contents look like and mirror it to package the bootanimation.zip that you want. Then place it in the miui/theme folder on your sdcard

Does anyone know how to change the boot animation on the gingerbread infinity rom? I tried using rom toolbox app to change the boot animation. It succesfully installs it but the animation never changes. Any clues on how to fix it or other methods?
yes you can download a different boot animation and rename it to bootanimation.zip
Then with root explorer move the file to system/media.Replace the original one (remeber to back it up) and just reboot

Hey, I'd like to know how to change the bootanimation in Kyrillo's ROM as ive already tried BootAni and some other apps and even tried manually changing the Bootanimation in "data" and "system/media"...didnt work.... it'd be great if i could get some help and if possible in a step by step manner...
1. Find a suitable replacement in bootanimation.zip format.
2.check to make sure this isnt an update zip. (do this by exploring the file, it should consist of only files names "part0" and "desc.txt" and maybe "part1")
3.If it is a update zip, unzip it and extract the bootanimationzip inside it.
4. place this onto sd card
5. use root explorer or similar to move the file to system/media, making sure it is named "bootanimation.zip" it should say something like "file exists, replace it?". say yes.
6. now long press the new file and open up permissions in the menu. set these as rw-r--r--
7. reboot phone and enjoy!
bear in mind that kyrillos 10.4 is based on open fimg, so you may have white patched in the boot animation, just like the one preloaded onto it.
In 10.4, Kyrillos has fixed the white patches in SOME bootanimation, like the stock one.

I did ..
On an extra note:
If you want to avoid having white flashes in your bootanimations on any rom with openFIMG you should look for one with less than 75 frames in the part1 folder. Any frames past that turn white...
Tried didnt work!!....

Hi, I've a (probably silly) question. I'm using the last paranoid version for nexus 5. I'd like to change the bootanimation but only have the bootloader.zip (not the apk for theme engine). I tried to put the zip in system/media but it doesn't work, on boot I get a plain "android" text.
Anybody knows how to solve? Thanks in advance
You mean bootanimation.zip, right? Putting a zip file of a bootloader isn't going to do anything. If it's a custom made that you did yourself, make sure when compressing it to a zip file, you select 'store' as opposed to 'normal' for the compression level or it will show the stock Android BA that you're seeing. You can't just install the apk of the theme and open theme engine and only select bootanimation?
Ops, my bad. Yes, I meant bootanimation.zip
The animation is an already made one which I downloaded from an xda thread, there is only the zip version, not the apk unfortunately
Thanks for the advice about the compression, I'll try to extract and compress it again
Thank you very much, it worked!!! :good:
Glad I could help.
You can find some bootanimation in apk format here which you can apply via theme chooser.
Hey, I want to start off by noting that I don't have a clue where I got the original bootanimation from. I've had it on my computer for a week or so and I just cannot recall where I downloaded it from... So unfortunately I cannot credit anyone with the original.
Anyways, I wanted to see this bootanimation for myself so I modified it to fit our phones. Here's a preview of the animation:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NIsv0aHbOw
And below is a download link of said animation.
Edit: I want to note this is just the animation. This is not a flashable .zip. I'm assuming if you're interested in this animation you're using cyanogenmod... Your bootamination.zip is in /system/media just replace/copy/delete the current bootanim in there and copy this one to that folder.
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!

Here ya go!
Let me know if you have any problems with this.
The app assumes you still have the original bootanimation.bak and bootanimation.zip.bak on your sdcard.

Thanks for the quick reply,
For some reason the tablet doesn't want to restore, reinstalling the custom boot animation also doesn't work.
I have the boot splash screen for +/- 30 seconds and then the OS is booted.. No boot animation
What can I do to get the standard Gray Android Boot animation?

Have you installed a custom operating system? If yes, which one?
Do you have the original, saved .bak files on your SDCard?

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.
