I am trying to enable the boot animation on my One Touch Evolve. I have located the bootanimation.zip (custpack/JDR_custres/media), but the animation never happens when I start the phone. Is there something I need to add to the build.prop to get it going? I am running Android 4.1.2
The same for shut down...the animation file is there, but I see no animation.
I even tried putting the bootanimation.zip in the /system/media folder...doesn't work either...
boooooot animation
if your are rooted goto system\media\paste your zip file as bootanimation.zip
and reboot enjoy

Thanks for the reply...yes, I'm rooted, but that didn't work either. Is there something with the permissions maybe? When I first got the phone, the original boot animation didn't even work. That's why I was wondering if there was something in the build.prop that told it not to, or maybe there is a line I can add?

I cannot find an answer regarding this and I think my post was deleted from another thread regarding the boot animation.
Does anybody know if we can disable the boot animation on the Droid Charge?
I was easily able to disable the boot sound by renaming the poweron.wav sound file to poweron.wav.bak with Root Explorer, and it worked like a charm.
I noticed the .qmg files for the boot animation but I didn't want to bootloop the phone by renaming them because I don't really know what I'm doing.
Does anybody know a safe way to disabling the boot animation?
Thanks!
As far as I know, deleting the boot ani qmg file won't bootloop the phone and it will just stop the animation from happening. The bootanimation binary will run, not find the file, and exit, but the boot process should continue normally. It'd be the same as if you were using bootanimation.zip files and just removed the zip, you'd get basically nothing.
Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a go and report back!
EDIT: Renaming bootsamsung.qmg to bootsamsung.qmg.bak in sytem/media with rootexplorer worked perfectly. Maybe I'm tripping, but it seems like it boots up faster. Nice!
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

search in the internet for a bootanimation of your choice (or extract it from another rom)
on your phone go to: system/media/bootanimation.zip,
(rename "bootanimation.zip"to whatever.zip).

make sure is .zip and named bootanimation ,reboot your phone Enjoy.

I WANT IT! But when I try to flash the file found in CM10ZipSaves/Vertical/480 CWM Recovery gives me "Installation Aborted."
Halp anyone?

Not a flashable zip. You have to replace the bootanimation.zip found in /system/media by yours. Be sure to name it the same and overwrite it.
www.google.com is also a very good help source. I used the keywords "replace boot animation android" to find that in 0.21 seconds.
Cool your jets man, it took me a bit longer than that. Plus there's no new thread about the new CM10 boot animation so THERE!
I followed all the instructions and tried with both the 800 and 480 animations, but when the phone boots up it just shows a stock animation of the android logo...
anyone know why this might be?
I replaced both the animation in system/media and data/local

I've never tried putting anything in data/local. Try just system/media.

Yea, at first I tried just system/media and that didn't work and some article said try data/local as a solution - which also did not work :/
Putting the bootanimation.zip in /data/local should work. Be sure to change its permissions to 0755 or rwxr-xr-x.

Ah, perfect! Thank you so much!
fyi i created/(modified) a flashable zip for our ns4(g) works on my crespo4g ymmv no warranties no guarantees
3q~
Vertical 480 from the zip file in the youtube video worked for me, just changed permissions. Still using CM9 though, just didn't like the boot animation.
..
Came across a real neat boot animation but it just wouldn't come up.
I changed the name to bootanimation.zip and the stock one to: bootanimationstock.zip
placed it in system/media with system on r\w.
Also checked the config file which says to load file system/media/bootanimation04.zip
Tried renaming the boot animation i wanted to bootanimation04.zip
All i get now is this minimalistic bootanimation where the small letters : ''Android'' are flashing.
I'm on rooted JB 4.2.1
Any suggestions?

This is how I change the boot animation: using Root Browser, I put the bootanimation.zip file inside /data/local.
Not sure about the minimalistic bootanimation you're getting, but that kinda sounds cool! (I like minimalistic designs)

Put it in /data/local and name it bootanimation.zip - it will be preferred to the one in the ROM.

I don't really like it haha, it seems like this is a backup animation. Can't get the stock animation to stick anymore
Update: pretty sure I put it in the right folder now but it didn't work.
Thanks anyway
"System\media\" and "data\local\" not working. I tried...
I've tried it. Copied my bootanimation.zip file to that 2 folder. But not working. My phone starts no boot animations. Just blank dark screen. My bootanimation.zip was working few months ago the system was Android 4.4.4 (i think that was 1 year ago). But now that is not working, what will i do ?
My Bootanimation video is here -> My Video
Thanks.

You should know diffwrent about boot logo (splash screen) which dark bg and write samsung galaxy ....
If you want to change this you need to search for original splash flash zip because after change it . It can only change back by flash original one. It not change though you change rom or factory reset.
Boot animation is easier to change. Just go to thread that share boot animation downliad flash zip and flash it. If you nandroid backup your rom first , you can always restore . Or you may copy original qmg file to somewhere.
