Friends,
This thread guides about the process of Changing the boot animation in ICS.
STEP 1
Make a backup of bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg from /system/media and remove them.
Now make a backup of samsungani and bootanimation from /system/bin
Download the modded samsungani and bootanimation files from this LINK.
Copy these files and paste it into /system/bin. It will overwrite the existing files.
Change the permission of both these files to rwx r-x r-x
STEP 2
Now you can get any of the custom bootanimation file. The name shud be bootanimation.zip.
Place the file in /system/media
A Collection of Boot Animations will be made available in the second post. You can download them and use it.
STEP 3
Download and Flash Ardatdat's kernel (either 4.1 or 4.2 beta 6) from this LINK
These kernels are modded to support Custom Boot animation
Reboot to CWM and flash the kernel
Reboot the mobile. Now u will have new custom bootanimation
Wanna Create your Own Bootanimation ??? -------------------> Check it out Here
P.S. For those who are in Angeek rom, you can skip STEP1 and directly go to STEP2.
Thanks to wanamsmile, Cooleagle, Kataria.Vikesh and off-course Ardatdat

Man I am unlucky. Last night I spend 3 hrs getting this done and today I find a tutorial. Damn!!
But good job Selva. :good::good: Tutorial like this are very helpful.
Hey btw, I found an article last night on SIII forum where the developer(freeza) says that interchanging bootanimation and samsungani(I am guessing wanansmile used this hack) had a side effect, atleast in SIII. His solution seems a lot better and cleaner. It doesn't require any changes to bootanimation or samsungani. He just handles it with init script changes. I tested it last night, it works perfect on MIUI rom. Ofcourse we need to add 'stop bootanimation service on boot_complete' to the init script. He did not mention that in his guide but maybe its not required for SIII.
Here the guide for reference. I hope this helps.

Thanks for the info buddy. Yeah i added stop boot animation service in init.rc script for preventing the infinite boot loop. Was going thru wanamsmile's modded kernel and checking for mods he done and finally found that he used the stop service to make it work. I will try with the above suggested method too buddy. :highfive:

[GUIDE] How to make your Own Custom Bootanimation
Hey Selva Buddy,
Please add this one in OP & if possible please change it to HOW TO make your own custom boot animation.
This is tutorial of HOW TO make your own Custom boot Animations:
Making Android open-source is probably the smartest thing Google has ever done with their platform. Putting control in the hands of thousands of dedicated developers has left us with some fairly spectacular results. If you know what you’re doing, there’s a way to customize just about every part of Android.
Even the boot animation can be changed if you know how. If you’re tired of that boring start-up that came with stock, fret not because it can be changed. This isn’t the most complex hack (we’re not changing how Android handles multitasking). However, it is a nice option to customize another part of your phone. On a purely practical level, we’re a little sick of hearing the noisy boot-up noise for MIUI. This guide can help you change your animation so it’s exactly what you want.
The Android boot animation is stored within one very special file named bootanimation.zip inside the phone’s memory. Change the .zip, change the animation. It’s as simple as that.
What’s not simple is how Android stores bootanimation.zip. For some unknown reason, Android actually keeps two copies of the animation file. One is stored at /data/local and the other at /system/media.
The difference between these locations is minor. The /data/local copy does not require root access. The phone also uses this animation before the other. The other one in /system/media does require root. However, installing a new animation to /system/media means that it will survive a factory reset. It’s a trade-off.
Regardless of which location you decide to use for your new boot animation, be absolutely sure to back up the original files. When replacing bootanimation.zip, keep a copy of the original .zip file saved to your computer. To be absolutely sure, you may want to make a Nandroid backup before doing any modifications.
How It Works
This section is intended to inform those who might wish to make their own start-up animation. If you have no interest in doing so, feel free to skip ahead. Understanding exactly how bootanimation.zip works is not necessary to install a new one.
If you copy bootanimation.zip to your computer and unzip it, inside will be a collection of files. There will be folders labeled part0, part1, part2 and so on. Also included will be desc.txt.
For our MIUI ROM, the boot animation was split into two parts. Part 0 had a huge list of image files which it used for the animation. Part 1 simply held the final screen at the end of the animation.
Desc.txt contains extremely simple instructions telling the phone how to run the animation. The first line lists the width, height, and frame rate of the animation. So 480 800 24 means to run the animation at 480×800 resolution and 24 frames per second.
The next two lines refer to the animation files. “P” invokes a part folder. The next number tells the phone how many times to play that part of the animation. So our second line “p 1 0 part0” means that the animation files in the part0 folder will play once. If we put zero, then the animation will loop until fully booted. The most notable use of looping animations is CyanogenMod 7’s spinning blue arrow.
The second number in that line is the pause time. This tells the phone how long it should pause DURING/BEFORE/AFTER/ the animation. Pause time is measured in frames, so 24 would be 24 frames of pause at 24 frames per second. Thus it pauses for one second. Our 0 means the phone pauses for zero frames (no time).
Creating Your Own Boot Animation
The first step is drawing the animation. Create a series of images which form one continuous animation. The frames must be labeled by increasing numbers, e.g. 000.png and 001.png and so on. Each part of the animation goes into a separate folder, starting with part0 and part1 and so on.
Finally open Notepad and write out a few lines of instructions. The first line should be the resolution and frame rate of the animation. The resolution must match that of your device. If you don’t know what that resolution is, see this page. The frame rate should match the one in the original desc.txt.
The next lines dictate the parts. Each part folder requires one line of instruction. Write out the numbers for each part of the animation. Once finished, save the file as desc.txt.
The final step is creating the .zip file. Select all the part folders and desc.txt. Right click on the files and select Send To > Compressed folder. Windows should quickly create the new file. Be sure to name it bootanimation.zip and nothing else.
Various Methods of Changing the Boot Animation:
1) Installation by ROM
Although there is a universal procedure for changing the animation, certain ROMs and themes come with their own rules for flashing. The MIUI ROM lets you change the boot animation within its Themes app. You can download custom animations within the app, no modifications needed.
2) Installation by Flashing
Other themes come as .zip files which can be flashed within ClockworkMod. This is much easier and definitely recommended. When downloading a theme from XDA or elsewhere, be sure to check the page. It might be a flashable .zip.
To flash a .zip file, simply copy it to the SD card.
Reboot into recovery mode.
Now go to “Install .zip” and choose the file from your card. CWM should run the file.
Reboot once finished.
3) Installation via ADB
Obviously, this method assumes that you have the Android SDK installed. It’s sort of necessary. If you feel the need to change the boot animation in a really cool programmer way, here’s how.
3.1) Download an animation and rename it to bootanimation.zip.
3.2) Copy the .zip file to the directory where the SDK is installed and within the platform-tools folder. So it’s (installation directory)android-sdkplatform-tools. Paste the file here.
3.3) Plug in the phone and turn on USB debugging.
3.4) Open Command Prompt and type “cd (installation directory)android-sdkplatform-tools“.
3.5) Type “adb remount” to mount /system as read-write. You should get a success message.
3.6) Enter in “adb shell” then “su” to double-check that you’re in root mode.
3.7) Navigate to the animation folder by typing “cd /system/customize/resource“.
3.8) Rename the original to the PC by entering “mv bootanimation.zip bootanimation.bak”. Now the original is there if you want to restore it, but the system won’t use it.
3.9) Type “adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource” to copy the file over. That’s it!
Note: Here we are assuming that the file bootanimation.zip is located at “/system/customize/resource“. In case the file is located at some other location on your phone, replace “/system/customize/resource” by that specific file path.
To change the boot audio:
1) Find an mp3. It should be relatively short as most phones don’t take much time to turn on.
2) Rename the mp3 to bootaudio.mp3.
3) Copy it to the SD card.
4) Now open Super Manager and copy the mp3 to /system/media.
TADAAAAAAAAAAA...now you can make your own bootanimation.zip file.:good:

These bootanimations are for hdpi screens only buddy. Poor quality is because in some bootanimations, the pictures used are not of high clarity. Thats why u may find it bit pixelated in some animations. Will update some more high quailty pic contained boot animations.
Are you sure you didn't missed any step? I did all as in your tutorial, tried Nexus ICS boot animation...it did change to Nexus ICS boot animation but got stuck in boot loop... actually i can hear sounds by pressing on my display and have vibrations but animation is still playing over...

Yeah, I'm already on Ardatdat's 4.2 beta 6 (1GHz) since it came...lucky for me i made cwm backup... can it be because i'm on TheFrankenstain^MOD 4.0.2? Or is the kernel that Selva supplied modified?

These Are Bootanimations which are little videos that play when your phone is turning on.. You can also add some of the poweron.mp3 files I've listed to replace the stock boot up sound.
Instructions:
FYI... You may want to save your stock bootanimation and poweron before overwriting them...
You can download these bootanimations using the XDA app (Easiest Way). It will store them on your sdcard/download (folder) Or you can download them to your computer.. (you have to download the PowerOn files using your PC as of now)
Move/Copy bootanimation.zip to /system/media (using Root Explorer make sure to click R/W at the top right corner so you can paste)
Move/Copy poweron.mp3 to /system/etc (Your poweron.mp3 may be named something different, check your stock first and see, if it's different than what I have, simply rename the file to what yours is)
Then Reboot.. you should see your new bootanimation and hear your new poweron right after the SAMSUNG text...
I'm open for request, no promises!!!!

Not bad as a first design. Especially thinking that just a couple of days ago you were asking how to just change the boot animation. I hope my little tutorial helped you out. Give it a week or so more and you'll have a whole series coming out!!
ha.. we'll see. I have lots in my head, but i think there's more settings that I'm not aware of. I see those choppy blocks in it. I think it may have something to do with Frame Per Second, but not sure how to change that.
here's my 2nd one.. Getting better!!!
I figured out the Frames Per Second it's in the text file right after resolution..

The animation is the beginning of the 11th Doctors Episodes. It displays the TARDIS swirling through a vortex of time and space. In fact, I took the snapshots during the newest "A Christmas Carol" Episode that aired on Christmas day of this year.

(EDIT) ALSO, Expect a newer SMALLER (in a day)(8MB) .zip. (this will be the flashable one).---DONE
If running AOSP Roms the Location should be: /system/media
If running Sense Roms the Location should be: /system/customize/resource
If running Other Roms the Location MAY be: /data/local
To TEST the bootanimation
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BASE FILES:
bootanimation.zip<------------11th Doctor Version
SPC_animation_final.mp3 <----------10th Doctor Theme Sound (lower volume).
SPC_animation_final.mp3 <--------NEW 11th Doctor Theme Sound. (CLICKY)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Code:
Connect USB > Copy and Paste bootanimation.zip (and/or SPC_animation_final.mp3) to your android-sdk-windows\tools directory. > Click start > run > cmd *enter*
Type: cd (directory of your android-sdk-windows\tools directory) *enter*
adb remount *enter*
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media *enter* (AOSP/CM6.1.1)
adb push SPC_animation_final.mp3 /system/media *enter* (AOSP/CM6.1.1)
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource *enter* (Sense)
adb push SPC_animation_final.mp3 /system/customize/resource *enter* (Sense)
adb shell bootanimation *enter
Make sure your screen is on when you do this to watch the animation.
To get out of the preview Hold CTRL then hit C.
This DOES overwrite your current bootanimation when testing it.
Comment it. Please no bashing Doctor Who or my work. This is my first release.
I do take constructive criticism though. Bring It.
I am on irc #htc-evo, and #htc-evo-theming. SO comment here or there.
Thanks
BTW, I will take a few requests for bootanimations pertaining to Doctor Who. The reason is because I have every episode in existence (that I know of). So if you want a bootanimation from the startup of any of the doctor whos, you have to give me the episode name. For instance, you could say "I want Tom Baker's startup" But he has at least two different beginnings. So you need to specify from which episode, or describe the animation.
MANY Thanks to Raiden89 aka Dr`Ryder from the #htc-evo-theming for the tips on testing bootanimations, and bootanimation structure...etc

Doctor Who Boot Sound
I am attaching a couple of MP3 that can be used as boot sounds or ring tones to go with your Doctor Who boot animation
to use as boot sounds put the file in
adb remount
adb push Doctor_Who.mp3 /system/customize/resource/SPC_animation_final.mp3
for ringtone
adb mkdir /sdcard/ringtones
adb push tardis.mp3 /sdcard/ringtones/tardis.mp3

Well our screens are 480 x 800 and I could resize the images smaller but they are already at 624 x 352. I know with an older boot animation I had the animation was choppy and blurry if I resized them down. I heard .jpgs should work...and they are smaller sized then pngs but I heard some phones are picky.

I know, dont get me wrong. The animation is crazy, would love to see it happen in my phone, but compared to CM boot-animation which is less that 2mb, this is a huge jump. This would take 20mb of my internal memory.
I mean just look at the attached file. That is the Droid. It barely reaches 1mb.
Anyways, good job with this new style. I was asking around if that was part of a movie. Is it??

Excellent work!
I would like to see a Doctor Who theme for our Evos. I build a WM6.1 Rom based of the 10th Doctor Who and Rose, but i have no clue where to start with Android (or time for that matter).
Now all we need is an app that will flash the LEDS when you get a notification, just like a Tardis. Possibly with an adjustable amount of flashes, like a text is a simple flash or two and several for a call.
Anyways great work, look forward to updates.

I like this. Landscape makes it look so much better. Like the boot sound and everything.
However is seems that I'm stuck in a bootloop. I flashed the .zip, cleared the delv-cache, and cache............nvm it just loaded. Its possible that it was due to Fresh 3.5xx, after wiping his roms seem to take longer to load.. No worries..
Also if you need a beta/update tester I would be more than willing. Im not a developer but I can test the crap out of something to find any bugs.

You must have flashed the audio file.zip posted for CM roms. I just opened it and only found the sound files. I will update it WITH the bootanimation here in the next hour or two.

I will try rezipping the audio for CM and Bootanimation (I have to add that) and sign/flash myself. UNLESS you are talking about the Sense version which I did make.
FYI: IF I adb push the SPC_animation_final.mp3 to the resource folder...I do get horribly loud sound. The Sense flashable zip that I created myself with Script Maker isn't nearly as loud. I think it is because Script Maker compresses it when you make the flashable zip. I will try ripping the audio from the previous CM audio link, add the boot animation, rezip/sign/test and if I get it in the next hour ill update the link. It is my fault...I didn't read the post enough I just updated the OP to reflect a flashable zip for Animation WITH sound...only to find out its sound only....This is my current project. Hold onto your butts (Yes, Jurassic Park).
(EDIT): I tested my bootanimation with sound for CM....really loud sound. Will try with the new boot animation sound with lower volume and if it is right for me, ill upload it.
(EDIT): I tried with the lower volume .mp3 version and I still get the loud volume. I don't get it to be honest.
Would this work with an Incredible? I don't really see a reason as to why it wouldn't, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

Be specific. Do you want the bootanimation AND sound? Do you want it in a flashable.zip to flash in recovery? I have no idea what recovery your phone uses, but i could find the Incredibles screen res, then resize or change the .desc file then post it in the Incredible theme section for you. BTW next time, pm me to try to keep it on topic for the EVO. I can make it work for the Incredible as long as the incredibles boot animation contains a part0, part1 folders and a desc.txt file. I'm sure we could work it out.
(EDIT):The screen res are the same between the Evo and Incredible. Assuming in your rooted Incredible you put the bootanimation.zip in /system/customize/resource (SENSE rom), or /system/media (AOSP/Cyanogenmod rom). I will post it in the incredible section in a few.
Hello everyone!
Here is the official CM10 boot animation that many of us have been waiting for! I've tested it and it works beautifully on the Infuse.

Instructions:
1. Download to your phone's SD card
2. Flash in recovery
3. Allow the device to reboot itself. It will reboot back into recovery (this is normal)
4. Reboot manually from recovery. The Samsung and CyanogenMod boot logos may seem to appear longer than usual. This is normal when you change the boot animation and adds only a couple of extra seconds. Please be patient.
5. Behold the glory of the official CM10 boot animation
Please note: I take no responsibility for the work done on this animation. I'm just simply passing it down to the Infuse community. All credit goes to the CyanogenMod team and Cameron Behzadpour. This is the 480x800 version that is compatible with our device.
thanx dude.itz superb.
Thanks... love it ...
Pretty nice, may want to say the reboot back to recovery can take a while, i almost thought my phone was bricked lol

You should be able to but I haven't tested it. Make sure you download the zip. Extract bootanimation.zip from /system/media/. Copy the file then mount /system as writable. Finally go to /data/local and paste. (Can anyone confirm this? I haven't done it in a long time)
The boot animation zip on my phone is in system/media. The reason I ask is because the cm9 one is like 200 JPEG split between the 2 folders an the new cm10 one is like 100. I was nervous something might look for those other files.

Ah this was useful "In ALL versions of Android since version 2.0, the use of /data/local is recommended as it is the first place the OS looks for the animation. If it cannot find one there, it defaults to /system/media. /data/local has at least 2 advantages: 1) the file size is not as limited as s/m allowing for larger animations or larger image sizes in them & 2) if you put it there and it is a bad download or any other reason it may boot loop, it is easier to remove from /data/local with a simple adb line and your device defaults back to the default one in /system/media."
Thanks to moderator fish1552 at xoomforums.com for this.

Nice! For me, I found that clearing the caches, flashing the boot animation, then fixing permissions just to be safe made the boot-up process faster, for those of you who are impatient like me.
I like it also but is there a way to add a Flashing 10 in the Center for the CM 10

There is definitely a way to add a flashing 10. I have a lot of work to do now that I'm back at school, but you can find custom numbers and use Paint.NET as a substitute for Photoshop, and it's free.

Secondly make sure you have Boot Animation factory.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678540
This process is not as hard as it seems. Download the zip in the OP and extract it. In the extracted folder, you'll navigate to system>media>bootanimation where you'll find yet ANOTHER zip. Extract that and inside is the magic of the boot animation. About 100 different pictures in two folders that make up the boot animation. Edit each one to your liking in Paint.NET and add whatever effects you want. Repackage the boot animation zip file with the program of your choice, then repackage the WHOLE thing so that it can be flashed within recovery.
Use Boot Animation factory to preview your new boot animation and make it usable on your phone. It's just a tedious process. When editing the images, just make sure that you don't change the size of the image on accident.
Thanks for sharing. It worked just as explained
It's a nice change until I find a good Fallout startup to go with my phone's theme...or until I get bored with the whole HEY! Shiny object!

Kudos for having the patience! I'm glad it turned out for you. If you want to really get adventurous you can make your boot animation completely custom with that method. Maybe you can start making a glowing Fallout logo boot animation for multiple devices and post.

Hmm...good idea. I made up a quick & dirty Aperture Laboratories (from Portal) startup screen a while back, so I know I can pull off at least SOMETHING...assuming I can stick with a ROM for more than a day
This is what I do for bootanimations, j use gimp (free...but you can use,any software...paint-lol, or just any image) to get the basic single image made at,480x800
Then I get a video editor...I use one on linux called lives (free)
I create a clip using the picture...usually picking 100-150 frames...at 25fps that's 4-6 seconds
I then mess around with the video effects...add swirls, spins, color changes, zooming in/out...etc
When done all the images are kept ins folder so I take that folder and copy it to windows...I boot into windows and use bootanimation factory to turn it into a proper bootanimation zip (can never get it when I do it myself)
If you can't locate the folder the images are saved you can save it into a video...you can then use software to extract the frames...anyways that's just a quick way to make boot animations instead of manually changing each image...

This is tutorial of HOW TO make your own Custom boot Animations:
First you must know, is your phone allow you to change bootanimation.?
If yes then go further & if NO then just follow this - Link
You need to flash CWM_CustomBootanimation_421_Enable.zip first to enable it from above links thread.:good:
Now, Read the below contents carefully.
Making Android open-source is probably the smartest thing Google has ever done with their platform. Putting control in the hands of thousands of dedicated developers has left us with some fairly spectacular results. If you know what you’re doing, there’s a way to customize just about every part of Android.
Even the boot animation can be changed if you know how. If you’re tired of that boring start-up that came with stock, fret not because it can be changed. This isn’t the most complex hack (we’re not changing how Android handles multitasking). However, it is a nice option to customize another part of your phone. On a purely practical level, we’re a little sick of hearing the noisy boot-up noise for MIUI. This guide can help you change your animation so it’s exactly what you want.
The Android boot animation is stored within one very special file named bootanimation.zip inside the phone’s memory. Change the .zip, change the animation. It’s as simple as that.
What’s not simple is how Android stores bootanimation.zip. For some unknown reason, Android actually keeps two copies of the animation file. One is stored at /data/local and the other at /system/media.
The difference between these locations is minor. The /data/local copy does not require root access in many mobile, but our S4 need root access. The phone also uses this animation before the other. The other one in /system/media does require root. However, installing a new animation to /system/media means that it will survive a factory reset. It’s a trade-off.
Regardless of which location you decide to use for your new boot animation, be absolutely sure to back up the original files. When replacing bootanimation.zip, keep a copy of the original .zip file saved to your computer. To be absolutely sure, you may want to make a Nandroid backup before doing any modifications.
How It Works
This section is intended to inform those who might wish to make their own start-up animation. If you have no interest in doing so, feel free to skip ahead. Understanding exactly how bootanimation.zip works is not necessary to install a new one.
If you copy bootanimation.zip to your computer and unzip it, inside will be a collection of files. There will be folders labeled part0, part1, part2 and so on. Also included will be desc.txt.
For our MIUI ROM, the boot animation was split into two parts. Part 0 had a huge list of image files which it used for the animation. Part 1 simply held the final screen at the end of the animation.
Desc.txt contains extremely simple instructions telling the phone how to run the animation. The first line lists the width, height, and frame rate of the animation. An Example: 480 800 24 means to run the animation at 480×800 resolution and 24 frames per second.
The next two lines refer to the animation files. “P” invokes a part folder. The next number tells the phone how many times to play that part of the animation. So our second line “p 1 0 part0” means that the animation files in the part0 folder will play once. If we put zero, then the animation will loop until fully booted. The most notable use of looping animations is CyanogenMod 7’s spinning blue arrow.
The second number in that line is the pause time. This tells the phone how long it should pause DURING/BEFORE/AFTER/ the animation. Pause time is measured in frames, so 24 would be 24 frames of pause at 24 frames per second. Thus it pauses for one second. Our 0 means the phone pauses for zero frames (no time).
Creating Your Own Boot Animation
The first step is drawing the animation. Create a series of images which form one continuous animation. The frames must be labeled by increasing numbers, e.g. 000.png and 001.png and so on. Each part of the animation goes into a separate folder, starting with part0 and part1 and so on.
Finally open Notepad and write out a few lines of instructions. The first line should be the resolution and frame rate of the animation. The resolution must match that of your device. If you don’t know what that resolution is, see this page. The frame rate should match the one in the original desc.txt.
The next lines dictate the parts. Each part folder requires one line of instruction. Write out the numbers for each part of the animation. Once finished, save the file as desc.txt.
The final step is creating the .zip file. Select all the part folders and desc.txt. Right click on the files and select Send To > Compressed folder. Windows should quickly create the new file. Be sure to name it bootanimation.zip and nothing else.
Various Methods of Changing the Boot Animation:
1) Installation by ROM
Although there is a universal procedure for changing the animation, certain ROMs and themes come with their own rules for flashing. The MIUI ROM lets you change the boot animation within its Themes app. You can download custom animations within the app, no modifications needed.
2) Installation by Flashing
Other themes come as .zip files which can be flashed within ClockworkMod. This is much easier and definitely recommended. When downloading a theme from XDA or elsewhere, be sure to check the page. It might be a flashable .zip.
To flash a .zip file, simply copy it to the SD card.
Reboot into recovery mode.
Now go to “Install .zip” and choose the file from your card. CWM should run the file.
Reboot once finished.
3) Installation via ADB
Obviously, this method assumes that you have the Android SDK installed. It’s sort of necessary. If you feel the need to change the boot animation in a really cool programmer way, here’s how.
3.1) Download an animation and rename it to bootanimation.zip.
3.2) Copy the .zip file to the directory where the SDK is installed and within the platform-tools folder. So it’s (installation directory)android-sdkplatform-tools. Paste the file here.
3.3) Plug in the phone and turn on USB debugging.
3.4) Open Command Prompt and type “cd (installation directory)android-sdkplatform-tools“.
3.5) Type “adb remount” to mount /system as read-write. You should get a success message.
3.6) Enter in “adb shell” then “su” to double-check that you’re in root mode.
3.7) Navigate to the animation folder by typing “cd /system/customize/resource“.
3.8) Rename the original to the PC by entering “mv bootanimation.zip bootanimation.bak”. Now the original is there if you want to restore it, but the system won’t use it.
3.9) Type “adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource” to copy the file over. That’s it!
Note: Here we are assuming that the file bootanimation.zip is located at “/system/customize/resource“. In case the file is located at some other location on your phone, replace “/system/customize/resource” by that specific file path.
To change the boot audio:
1) Find an mp3. It should be relatively short as most phones don’t take much time to turn on.
2) Rename the mp3 to bootaudio.mp3.
3) Copy it to the SD card.
4) Now open Super Manager and copy the mp3 to /system/media.
TADAAAAAAAAAAA...now you can make your own bootanimation.zip file.:good:

thx.
i flash the CWM_CustomBootanimation_43_Enable.zip and CWM_CustomBootanimation_Test.zip, now i can see the test bootanimation. But when i tried to flash the custom zip( follow your tutorial about how to make a own zip step by step), it said" aborted",strange. So i replaced bootanimation.zip in CWM_CustomBootanimation_Test.zip with my custom zip, and flashed it. It worked, though the resolution wasn't concise. i changed the resolution (1080 1920) and flashed it again,this time, there was nothing during the device booting( totally dark).

For abort - Please check your Zip package or mention what error (i.e. status 0 or status 7 )
Have you made image of size 1080*1920.?
Thanks for this guide

sounds to me that youve might have compressed the zip.. thats a "no-go" on bootanimation.zip-files..
if thats not the case, then just parse me your animation, and i will take a look at it..

Well, as long as my test animation works, then we can conclude that the custom bootanimations feature work, and therefore must be the animation itself that is somewhat messed up.. Will look into it later tonight when my son is sleeping..
EDIT:
i get this message when clicking on either of your links:
{"error_code":31064,"error_msg":"expire time out error","request_id":2752005932}

okay, ive had a look at it.. and i was guessing right.. its compressed.. extract all the folders and files, then pack the extracted content down again, but make sure its with "save and replace only"-method.. that should do it
and to be honest, you might want to shorten down the animation.. there is lots of files that wont be showed.. for instance, the last Generic2 folder will never be showed.. just saying
cheers
Here are a couple of alternative boot animations for the L-24 5X. Like all things with the 5X OS they are completely different to any animations I have made for any other device I have owned and I have only tried them using the install method I will describe.
Although I suggest you adopt my method I do not take any responsibility for any ills that may befall your device.
1) Copy the downloaded animation file to whatever folder you wish on your Ext SD card.
2) Using a File Manager navigate to the folder .... /system/media .... there you will find a file named bootanimation.zip ...... Either delete this file or rename it. You will not be using this file again.
3) Again using a File Manager move the new animation file you have downloaded to the folder .... /cust/hw/usa/media .... there you will find another file named bootanimation.zip, rename this file in case you wish to use it in the future.
4) Rename the new file you have moved there to ...... bootanimation.zip ...... Reboot and you will see your new animation.
IMPORTANT NOTE ::::::: THESE ZIP FILES ARE NOT FLASHABLE ZIPS, DO NOT TRY TO INSTALL BY FLASHING - DO NOT TRY TO INSTALL BY EXTRACTING THE CONTENTS OF THE ZIP FILE - ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS MOVE THE ZIP FILE TO THE FOLDER INDICATED
Please don't ask if they will work with L-21/L-22 variants - I don't have those devices so I am unable to test with them - however if you have "large, round, golden ones" and are willing to try, please help out others by informing us if they do or don't.
When you have renamed your new file to bootanimation.zip change the permissions to what the original one has.
I have included animated GIF's so you can have some idea as to what they look like. I would welcome others to build and publish other anims on this thread, when I have time I hope to add a couple more.
I am on rooted L-22 variant.
there is no folder in root with name "/cust/hw/usa/media".

@subodhverma21 ... If you had bothered to read my post #1 you would have seen that I specifically asked for no questions in respect of the L-21 & L-22 variants because I had no way to test those devices. However if you wish to purchase an L-22 for me so that I can test it, then by all means let me know and I will give you the address where to send it.
L21 is using /cust/preinstalled/public/media/bootanimation.zip

Was the process of creating the bootanimation.zip different from the usual method or just the installation? I have made several before (although it's been a while). Just wondering if it's the same procedure.

@wickedesires ... I found virtually everything to be different and gave up trying to understand the method used and just copied the format of the original animation. To give you a brief and quick breakdown, the "desc.txt" file takes on a different format - each "part" file is named differently and when previously making animations for other devices I have always placed it in .... /system/media .... as I've said above this is not the case with the 5X. My advice to you is to download the original animation, break it open and amend it by keeping the original format and just replacing the ".jpg" files.
I would strongly advise testing any you make on your own device before publishing on a thread.

Deleted - Sorry guys/gals for last 3 posts. I had problems in the early morning with both my browsers, hopefully they are resolved now. Will load the new anim in next post.
Back for another attempt...Post#1 applies, don't forget to adjust Permissions. NOTE..... If you are using CyanMod Beta Rom then you may have to place anim in ..... /system/media .

My good friend @clsA ... I was betting my bottom dollar that you would come up with a request like this :laugh: :good:
The attached is one I made for my moto G and I've hacked it about a bit and made adjustments, so count this as my first effort. I do have some other ideas which might work but will need a bit of work.
To any one who downloads it, I would remind you that all the previous strictures apply and please note that if you are on the BETA CM ROM or it fails to run, then put it in ...../system/media
As usual the GIF gives you an idea.
OK here is my 2nd "Ghostie" one...... The usual...rhubarb...rhubarb...rhubard apply.

When I get some time to sit and fool with it I'm going to make a few more splash screens and some boot animations to go with them. It's just been hectic the last few days for my personal life lol. @metpolds I dig the new 1s bout to set Mona as mine until I can do those
Red skull bootanimation
Here's my first boot animation. It's stretched vertically to be 1080x1920 full-screen, the original was 1080x608. I also made a matching red version of the skull splash screen (which is in the boot logo thread).
Red skull bootanimation
Here is a less stretched/windowed 1080x1080 version of the same animation.

@wickedesires ... Congrats on the anims, its good to see you won the battle against the 5X's os.
I made a couple more, but due to file size restrictions I can't upload them directly to this post. They are full HD so they are about 30mb each. They can be found here. I cannot guarantee that they will remain there a year from now but I will leave them unless I need the space. As always refer to OP for how/where to install.
