Thanks for the location, now since I have it and gonna do up my own bootscreen how do I go about pushing it back to my phone?
I think I found out how.
Remount the system partition read-write: adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
Push the file across to your device: adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
At least something to try when i get it done.

I have been using Droid Explorer (free program for your computer) to do this stuff and it seems to work well. Most people seem to use Root Explorer (paid app) on most of the Boot Screen threads.

Has anyone got any boot screens to share? Or show off?

I have one I'm working on all it is is the one file but haven't figured out the desc.txt file to get it right just yet all I get right now is a black screen after the Sony Ericsson screen. After I get it figured out I'll be dropping more bootscreens for everyone.

cool

I have an animation of a fine lady lifting her top as my bootanimation. I was surpriced how easy it is to make your own organisations so i am going to make a few and maybe share them if i find them good enough :-D unfortunately i cant upload a picture showing my animation because i am a new user, and therefore aparantly not allowed to post links...

Found these desc.txt info somewhere in XDA forum.
480 854 = (W x H) Animation size
12 = fps
p = pointer (don't change)
1 = no. of times to play, 0= loop
ani1, ani2, ani3 = folder containing png files (animation)
24 = freeze on last frame in each folder (fps)
Hope that helps..

desc.txt is used by the phone for timing purposes i think.
I used root explorer to import my boot animation, its very easy.

Custom bootlogo jerpelea used this in his custom 2.1
Works also on Se 2.1 just overwrite the bootanimation.zip (located /system/media) with this one

Bootanimations are located in
/system/media/bootanimation.zip
or
/data/local
On most devices it will be the first location, but one devices with smaller ROM sizes, like prev gen phones, it will be in the local folder instead. Bootanimations are contained in zip file bootanimation.zip, you can use a file manager with root access like root explorer and change the animation with a new one.

[MOD]Bootanimation4U - Add custom bootanimation to any rom

This will add the ability to use a custom bootanimation on any rom with any kernel and probably any samsung device.
It has been tested on the Note II but should work with any samsung device that uses samsungani to load boot animations. If it doesn't work for you please post here.
Uses the typical settings bootanimation is at /system/media/bootanimation.zip, this is for those using a stock rom or a rom the dev didn't add it in.
I included the Google Gears bootanimation too. Flash the file in recovery. The attachment is a flashable zip not bootanimation.zip.
The updater-script uses busybox to mount the partitions, so if it doesn't flash correctly install busybox from an app on the play store then try again.
Edited the attachment, now includes the bootanimation binary just in case in bootanimation4u.zip, there is also another one named Bootanimation4U.Samsungani.Only that only edits samsungani.
If /system/bin/bootanimation exists flash the Bootanimation4U.Samsungani.Only.zip
How to use:
Add bootanimation.zip to /system/media
Flash Bootanimation4U.zip in recovery
If you want sound add an ogg file named PowerOn.ogg to /system/media/audio/ui, if sound doesn't work be sure /system/bin/samsungpowersoundplay exists if its there it will play sound if not its not included in your rom download it HERE then put it where it belongs and fix the perms which should be rwxr-xr-x
Reboot...Enjoy
Here is a method to get some bootanimations thanks to ReelFiles:
ReelFiles said:
Awesome!
1. Make a backup just in case.
2. Flash bootanimation4u.zip from recovery (I use TWRP).
3. Reboot and install Boot Animations Root from the Play Store.
4. Go into the app's preferences and change install location to /system/media/ and leave the default filename (bootanimation.zip) and go back to the main screen.
5. Select any bootanimation from the Server tab and hit Install. (Tablet ones at the bottom of the list look best.)
6. Select the installed bootanimation again and hit Resize. Set it to 720x1280 30FPS.
7. Tap the options key and select "Preview current" Make sure you like it and reboot.
I use the Tablet - Shatter one, it looks like the one from the Jedi Roms, but higher quality.
If you Preview a few different ones and then decide to use one you downloaded earlier, delete it first then install and resize it again, or the preview will just be a black screen and might not work at all.
I believe you can preview before installing the animation if you buy the Pro version.

Does flashing this effect anything else? Since your flashing partitions?

No it only uses busybox to mount system to copy files. It makes it flashable on most devices without using specific blocks. Ie. Mmcblk0p13

Ok, so this will prevent the boot loop caused by adding bootanimation.zip's manually on samsung devices? (vzw gs3 running aosp).
Does the flash of your mod stick between rom flashes, or flash each time?

I don't thing it belongs to development, since the mod is already known and that's why i already posted something like this on General with both methods (manual and CWM)

after flashing bootanimation4u should i see an app in my app tray upon boot up? i don't see an app by that name
I'm using busybox v1.20.2 and it's installed in system/xbin
(i used jrummy's busybox installer app)

No app, what rom are you using and what kernel ? Sounds rom/kernel related this should work with no problems. Is there a file called samsungani and bootanimation in system/bin ? And lastly what does it do when it boots ? Black ? Samsung logo ?

Changing CM10.1 bootanimation

Hello guys,
I want to change the Andromadus CM10.1 (build 12) bootanimation with the R2D2 bootanimation in this link (http://androidbootanimation.com/category/800x480-boot-animations/page/2/)
I have renominated the stock bootanimation.zip in bootanimation_old.zip and copied the one from the site in /system/media and renominated bootanimation.zip
Although it seems I have done something wrong because when i reboot the phone I get stock "Android" bootanimation in boot. I have read many threads but it seems that apart from sense rom, the procedure is just the same.
Is there anyone that can help sort it out?
Thank you

Use a file explorer (such as ES) select the file's "Properties" and change the Permissions to RW-R-R

Haven't seen very many bootlogos here so I thought I'd share one I created.
Just flash it through recovery.

Edit: There's also a ton of custom Bootlogo's and bootanimations in the Moto G forum. Both the 2013 moto G and X have the same resolutions so they all work just perfectly on either device.

I've got a flashable Custom Bootanimation that i posted yesterday here:,
If you don't have custom recovery, or want to do it manually: extract the .zip file and go to system>media and copy the bootanimation.zip file to your phone and then use root explorer to move it to system>media. Then change the permissions to rw-r-r.
That's probably not a very good epxlanation, so here's a guide with pictures that explains it really well
I'll add more custom bootaniomations the next few days in the thread as I create them so keep checking back

Sadly no, there's no way that I know of moving the files to the system file on the phone without root or a custom recovery.
