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
Hey guys.. so i'm running ViperXL 3.0 JB.. and i was searching to replace the bootanimation, and couldn't find a file named bootanimation.zip.. all i could find was HTC_bootup_one.zip and htc_downanimation.zip in system/customize/resource
so.. can anyone point it to me?
Also.. since i'm running JB from asia (ViperXL), is there a way to flash a mod to get the CTR Screen Off Animation?
thanks guys! appreciate it

That is indeed the boot animation file, unzip it and you can see the individual images.
The problem I ran into here was replacing it with a new boot animation of the same name somehow broke the startup animation altogether and all I got was the blue android animation, even after putting the original file back. I did a nand restore to get the original back and am now waiting for someone to figure out how to do this the right way or start making flashable zips.
I was doing this through es file explorer on viper xl 3.0. Did it the same way many times before on ice with no issues.

I set the system partition to write and then back to read once the files were moved, but I don't think I can change file permissions with es and I don't have root explorer. Eventually I will quit being lazy and try replacing the files through adb with proper permissions like I had to on my evo.

Hi All,
I have Sabsa prime 15.0 on my saga and I want to change my bootanimation.
Usually I see people doing that by moving a bootanimation.zip to either /data/local or /system/customize/resource
My original bootanimation was in /system/customize/resource, so I replaced that one with my new bootanimation.
System was mounted as writable, and permissions are set.
However, my bootanimation is not showing up. I have no bootanimation at all.
What am I doing wrong here? Does the new bootanimation need to be in another location?

You cannot change the ba just like that, you need a third party app like boot animations or rom toolbox to change the files etc. I'm not sure I'm right but it works for me on all roms I use
I see only a way to enable/disable boot animation. Not flash a new one. Is that correct?

No, there should be different bootanimations to choose from and install or an option to choose the zip file of a custom bootanimation on this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...mNvbS5qcnVtbXkuYXBwcy5ib290LmFuaW1hdGlvbnMiXQ..
Ok that one works indd Thx for your help ifti768!

Hello all,
it's possible to partially deodex my phone to add a custom Bootanimation? (Of course ".QMG" format)
If yes, what files I need to modify to work?
PS: I have already replaced the bootanimation of my odexed phone and as a result, the bootscreen went white during boot. No animation at all. There must be a file that I need to modify, but I don't know which...
Thanks
Hi Guys,
Need some assistance here.
I want to customize the pre-install apps on my device (Meaning adding another)
I noticed there is already a DIR (/vendor/operator/app ) where facebook, twitter and all other .apk files is.
If I add another .apk file there, where is the script where I should state that it must also install the new .apk's?
Also selinux... if I change the bootanimation.zip in /system/media it default back to the standard Android bootscreen.
How do I further check my permissions? I did a getfacl on the original bootanimation.zip and a setfacl on new bootanimation.zip (permissions is the same)
What am I missing?
Is there some sort of basic guide for customizing the basics in Android 5.1?
Thanks
