Hi guys,
Is it easy to change the boot animation? I have root and all that and would like to change the 02 boot animation.
Is there a guide anywhere or would someone be so kind to type up a quick how to?

yes it is very easy to change the boot animation
but do not change anything else as it could brick your device
1.download the zip of the animation that you need & put it on your sd card
2.get es explorer or any other file manager(root explorer)
3.rename the zip file as bootanimation.zip
4.if you are using es file explorer press menu button>settings
select root explorer & mount file system
5.click on the first button on the top(it looks like a sd card)
6.go to system/customize/resource
7.delete the boot animation.zip file in there & replace it with the copied zip(the one that you put on the sd)
thats it,now you have a new boot animation
please use the search function next time

Thanks for that.
But it didnt work - I got the stock one from another thread but the o2 animation remains!

thanks a lot for these

Are you definitely asking for help with the boot animation or do you want to change the white splash screen ?

There are guides already in themes and applications forum

Ok, then ben_pyett has a point: theme & app section is your goal

I fugured it out. there was a zip file called 02_Ul_Boot.zip or something like that. I replaced that with the one I wanted and it worked a treat

[Q] Removing Boot Logo/Slash Screen

How do I remove the boot logo or splash screen? I am not sure the proper term for it.
When I turn my phone on I see the standard logo followed by another lg logo which came with the rom I installed. These two logos seem to be delaying my custom boot animation. The boot animation only gets half way before going to the lock screen.
tldr; How do I remove the splash screens that come before the boot animation?
Love you xda you are are amazing.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=753788 Go to this link

I would like to completely remove the splash screens not change them. The splash screens seem to be delaying the start of my bootanimation.

Yes ofcourse! System is preparing to extract bootanimation.zip!!
If you change the 'splash' to the first frame of your bootanim it will be the best thing for you!

I am referring to an image that is appearing which is separate from the boot animation. I want to disable that image.

Ya, that makes sense. But I'm referring to the second splash screen which seems to be ROM specific.
Sent from my LG-VM670

you'll have to split the boot.img, remove the file initlogo.rle from the ramdisk (that's the second splash,) and recombine the boot.img
not for the faint of heart.

Open framework-res.apk. Look in assets\images. Those are the bootscreen images. If you wish to turn off the animation you'll have to edit the corresponding .xml (I don't remember off hand what or where it is). This will require you to decompile framework-res.apk edit and recompile.
Or like others have said use a bootanimation.zip with a static image, like in devoid froyo.

Even if i use a bootanimation with a static image the other splash screen will appear. Thanks for the info it should help point me in the right direction. I was looking at init.rc, initimage.rle or something along those lines.

The first bootscreen is in boot.img the second is in framework-res.apk.

Would boot.img be the location of the ROM specific splash screen?
I technically have 3 boot type things.
lg boot logo
rom specific boot logo
bootanimation
The bootanimation is easy enough to change. Where is the first one located? You said the second is in boot.img correct?

the first silver lg is supposed to be in the 'splash' MTD partition (mtd3 on the Optimus V,) but I couldn't ever get it to flash anything different with fastboot, or get its contents with dump_image either.

There is another one after that they came with my ROM is that on boot.img and how do I disable it?

Can this be done from with in windows? The guides I have found on messing with boot.img use linux commands for messing with the ramdisk.

I've read you can use cygwin to do linux stuff on windows without a virtual machine.
It's fun to set up, though. I used it some years ago for something or another.
Only use windoze for phone PSTs anymore... can't help you much.

boot animation change. which method???

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.

[GUIDE] Modify Boot Logo

Hi
I managed to modify my Bootlogo to a black one and want to share how I have done it
Do this on your own risk, I'm in no way responsible for damage you do on your device!!!
1. Backup the logo partition from your device
You can use adb or a terminal shell for this
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/logo of=/sdcard/logo.bin
2. copy the logo.bin to your pc or pull it via adb
3. download Motorola Bootloader Maker
4. Within the program, open the logo.bin
5. Extract the existing images to edit them if you like
6. Replace the Images you want with a modified or newly created one
I created one with the red Lenovo logo on a black backround
and saved it as a 8bit color png with a resolution of 1080x1920.
7. Save the new logo as a .bin or .zip file as you like,
I attached my flashable zip to this post.
8. If you choose zip, you have to modify the script, as the included one does not work with our device.
Change all the partition paths to /dev/block/bootdevice/....
You can use the script from the attached zip or replace the included logo.bin with yours.
Use twrp to flash the Zip.
9. If you choose .bin flash it via fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
Enjoy your new bootlogo

Ähm, I still don't get your point.
Boot animations don't need to be made for a certain device.
Just use the one from your thread if you like
Nevertheless I made one matching my boot logo.
Copy it to /system/media and modify permission to how they where set before.

Isn't the stock logo some kind of a precaution measure? The lock/unlock symbol shows whether the phone gets permission to boot. When I was experimenting with Magisk I noticed the phone wouldn't boot. It had something to do with dm-verity, but I wouldn't been able to tell that easily if I had replaced the boot logo.
Of course you only have to worry about this when you're messing with files which have an impact on verified boot.

No, it's just an indicator if the bootloader is locked or unlocked.
You can change both images independently.
If you want, just use a different one for each.

Took a look inside the Zip to see what the boot animation looks like. Great job.

Thanks a lot for this. That blinding white was really annoying.

Thanks a lot for this zip, Perfect...
That blinding white was really unbearable.
This seems to be done for an amoled.
Better than Lenovo.

Can anyone elaborate backup process?
Thanks

use a smaller picture file to modify bootlogo. you are not allowed to use a file larger than stock logo file

[SOLVED] bootanimation replacement results in a blank boot screen, fix?

Update: I found the bootanimation.zip file, and replaced it with a custom animation file. However, that resulted in a blank screen with the Android logo, not the new boot animation.
Then, I tried changing the "desc" text file, the number of frames in the new animation, and the file names to match the old boot animation file, but nothing's working. (Now its just a blank screen on boot, the Android logo is now gone.)
Does anyone have a solution to this?
_________________________________
(Please bear with the long post.)
I'm using the Honor 6x (BLN-L24) running Android 7.0.
So, I'm trying to replace the default bootanimation.zip file with a custom one so that I can have a custom animation on boot.
The problem is, I can't locate where the original bootanimation file is located.
I tried looking where the posts I read about told me to look: "/system/media" but it wasn't there. The only files present in that folder were audio files.
Obviously, moving the custom bootanimation.zip file there (in "/system/media") didn't work.
Then, I tried moving the custom animation file into "/data/local" but that didn't work either.
Finally, I just searched the entire system using root explorer and the only file I found was a "bootanimation" file in "/system/bin" that didn't have any label after it, (ie, ".zip, .png, etc.)
Replacing that file with the custom zip file caused my device to not have a boot animation at all, just a blank screen. It probably wasn't the right file. (I "replaced" that file by renaming it to "bootanimation.bak")
Btw, when I tried opening that file, all I got were a bunch of scrambled symbols and letters.
Does anyone have a solution on how I could possibly change my boot animation/ find the original boot animation file? I think I'm missing something here.

I guess it's due to incorrect permissions. You can change the permissions for the zip by long pressing and selecting permissions. Sorry i don't really remember the correct permissions but you can look it up on Google. If that doesn't work either you can use jrummy's bootanimation app from the playstore.

[solved] new boot animation fix
If you encounter the error of having a blank bootscreen and Android logo then you must verify the file that you put in /system/media.
The file should contain different folder starting from part0,part,...
The boot animation file should also contain desc.txt file that contains proper display configuration of your device hardware and name of all part folders followed by c and 2 digit 0s and 1s
After all,
One and last thing every part folder should contain many jpg images of same name followed by sequential numbers.
At last change file permission to rw- r-- r-- using any kind of root explorer.
Permission should look like this
