So I am running CROMI and I want to try some different boot animations. I found a few of them embedded in the ROM zip as zip files themselves. Can I just extract these to a directory and install the directly through TWRP? If not, are there any custom boot animation out there that can be flashed?
Thanks

Even easier, just copy the bootanimation.zip you want into /data/local.

Try the ROM Toolbox Lite app. You need your phone to be rooted (a custom ROM will have your phone already rooted for you), and this app makes it a breeze to install a new boot animation. The app has a collection of boot animations ready to install, or you can make your own and use this app to install it.

You don't extract the zip file, you place the full bootanimation.zip file in /system/media or /data/local

you probably didn't remove/rename the original boot animation files

You don't have to remove or rename the originals. The binary to use is specified in the kernel, and /system/bin/samsungani will only play the stock boot animation, and /system/bin/bootanimation will only play Android bootanimation.zip files.
When you downloaded the boot animation, did you download a CWM flashable zip file, or was it a stock bootanimation.zip file?

Downloaded flashable zip. I did remove the original files. Extracted and Put bootanimation.zip in its place.
When that didn't work I put the original files back.

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

Is there any way to change boot animation on Samsung Galaxy R ICS 4.0.4? I tried something i found here on forum and now i dont have any boot animation and i wanted a ICS stock animation :crying:
Not stock ICS, but this is greatest boot animation I saw so far, and SGS3 shut down animation, so first U must be rooted to do this or any system modification...
Those are just files in .rar archive, so not for flashing with CWM or something similar. Just decompress-copy-paste files in their respectiv system folders.
First unpack, now Boot archive contains two files and you should place them in SYSTEM/MEDIA folder, second one is shut down animation and place this file in
SYSTEM/MEDIA/VIDEO/SHUTDOWN folder, use root explorer (paid but great), or solid explorer (free) or any other explorer with root permissions :victory:
Liked the shut down animation very much.
Is there any other boot animation available?
I'm already having the boot animation provided here as i'm in Neo Rom v3. Need a change

3) Copy the downloaded bootanimation.zip to system/media
4) Give rights to the file of -rw--r--r
5) reboot your Phone.
But for safely purpose, take the backup first.
Thanks & have a nice weekend buddies.

Procedure for changing Bootanimation in any ROM
Hi Friends,
Below is the procedure for changing the Boot animation in any ICS ROM. But it has one limitation. You have to be in the below attached ardatdat 4.1 kernel to have the Boot animation working. Thanks to wanamsmile
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 attached samsungani and bootanimation (Unzip the package) and paste it into /system/bin. It will overwrite the existing files
You can get any of the custom bootanimation file. The name shud be bootanimation.zip. One custom bootanimation file is given here
Place the file in /system/media
Download the attached ardatdat 4.1 (modified) and place it in ur sdcard
Reboot to CWM and flash the kernel
Reboot the mobile. Now u will have new custom bootanimation
Is it possible to do it with ardatdat's 4.2 b6 kernel?

Hi guys, I was able to extract system.new.dat from a rom (purity lollipop) and now I have the old good system with folders, so I can change whatever I want. But I tried to flash the zip and only the boot.img gets installed, the rest seems to be ignored.. What should I change in the zip on order to get it to install correctly?

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!
If you need a restore script, please contact me or post a message.

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.
