[Q] Boot Animation Modificiation?

Can someone direct me to a tutorial on how to change the boot animation either from modifiying the .zip file ROM or just doing it after installing the ROM?

Instructions are available for nearly every phone if you search your device's specific forum. This one is for the (g2 and desire z) basic idea. I'd do some searching in your thread though.
**ROOT Is Required**
For BootAnimations:
The usual notice i am not repsonsible if you brick your device but this is pretty easy to do... follow the instructions below:
1. Follow the link to download.
2. Download and rename the file to bootanimation.zip
3. Put it on your sdcard
4. Open terminal enter these commands: (for Cyanogen and Stock Rom)
su
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local/
For those of you who have it the root explorer.apk also works to install
1. Same as above
2. Same as above
3. Same as above
4. Open Root explorer
5. Select bootanimation.zip from sdcard
6. Select move
7. Find Data folder
8. Find Local folder
9. Paste into Local folder
SENSE Roms Instructions: (Absolute System.apk Needed)
1. Download and install Absolute System.apk
2. Select download bootanimations
3. Press Menu
4. Change Install Location
5. Select EVO4G
6. Download Bootanimation
7. Use a File Manager to move Bootanimation into sdcard/goodies/bootanimations
8. Open Absolute System.apk
9. Select Downloaded Bootanimations
10. Select the Bootanimation you just placed in the file

HEY GUYS WATS UP??? HOWS YOUR NINJA 4. :victory:
IF YOU GET BORED OF SAME BOOT ANIMATION AND NO SOUND and WANT TO CHANGE IT :cyclops: , THEN YOU REACHED AT CORRECT CORNER . IF NOT GO SOMEWHERE ELSE :good:.
REQUIREMENTS -
1. ROOTED
2. APP- ROOT BROWSER , TERMINAL EMULATER.
3. SCRIPT - bootsnd.sh
4. FILES - bootanimation.zip , boot.wav , android_audio.mp3 :: LINUX IS CASE SENSITIVE SO FILE NAME SHOULD lowercase :: :angel:
STEPS -
1. Download bootsnd.sh.txt ( rename it to bootsnd.sh ) , bootanimation.zip , bootsound.zip and put it on root of your sdcard. "/sdcard", now extract " bootsound.zip " in sdcard. NOW YOU HAVE THREE FILES - bootanimation.zip , boot.wav , android_audio.mp3.
2. open terminal emulator (download from google play store, its free) , and type following code -
su
cd /sdcard
sh bootsnd.sh
> if everything will be fine it will not show any output, if error coming or showing message -
" no such user root:shell "
IT IS FINE NOW, CLOSE TERMINAL.
3. OPEN ROOT BROWSER (R/W) THEN CHECK FOLLOWING FILES & make sure the file has transfered over-
1. init.local.rc | /system/etc/init.local.rc
2. bootsound | /system/bin
4. If files are present then it means script run successfully. otherwise run it again.
5. now copy the bootanimation.zip (replace the old one) , boot.wav , android_audio.mp3 from your sdcard to /system/media .
6. reboot and watch.. :laugh:
NOTE -
1. bootsound depends upon boot animation , if bootanimation is of 15sec, then boot.wav , and android_audio.mp3 sholud be of 15 sec.
2. if you want to change sound then boot.wav , android_audio.mp3 should be of same sound file.
for example - i want to make smackthat.mp3 to boot sound then
smackthat.mp3 = android_audio.mp3 (rename)
smackthat.mp3 = boot.wav (convert .mp3 to .wav usin converter tool, and name it to boot)
I HOPE YOU ALL UNDERSTAND.
I DON'T CARE FOR THANKS BUTTON, IF LIKED HIT IT OTHERWISE ITS OK. :good::laugh:
I JUST WANT TO HEP YOU GUYS, THAT'S MY MAIN MOTTO. :victory:

Thanks....looking awesome

Hey sorry to say but its good to have some low size bootanimation.zip and shutdownanimation.zip files there in system/media/ folder.
Because they takes about 14mb of space.

Thanks to this post i was able to unbrick, however there are a few steps that i would like to add to make it more clear.
at Step 4: After pressing the power button ten times, you will see that a pop up comes tellinga new hardware found and will ask to locate the drivers, now click continue to automatically update the driver. it will fail and then an option to browse and locate the driver will pop up. Now browse to the folder where you extracted live suit pack and choose the USB driver folder to install the driver. Next it will come up with two pop ups press Yes both the times
Step 6 Download ES File Explorer then open it then press the three dots on bottom then go to settings then root settings and then check all check boxes then go back to main screen of es file explorer
Step 7 is the same
Whilst putting the backup file on the tab create a clockworkmod folder in the root of the tab create another folder called backup and extract the backup file downloaded onto it.

It worked
All the steps work perfectly..I was able to unbrick the device with touch using first Livewire image .. Thanks a ton developer..

Hi,
First of all Thanks alot. With these steps, I was unable to unbrick my tab.
But I have tried to do CWM backup recovery alot. It shows md5 Mismatch everytime. I tried fixing md5 mismatch by different ways availalbe, but none of them works.
Also the FTP link that you have given... it doesnt log you in with the ID and password provided.
Any suggestions on how to make the touch work?
Thanks and regards,
Lalit

It looks like there is an issue with CMW installation. Follow rooting and other steps all over. Restoring backup of 26 should be good enough

Amazing!! works for Pie as well!

Tried it with the File Explorer i have and my device is rooted so no need for Recovery, so i just modified the .xml and yeah i got the Dark Mode but if I exit and then reopen the app it defaults back to normal theme.
But the option remains in the settings.

It is better to delete the old file.
U can keep the both the files but make sure the modified file name is same as old [ It should not be like filename(1).xml]. rename the old file to something else.

I tired this working fine , but after after sometime the theme gets back to white , please get me a solution to this

Is dark mode on in system settings?
