How do I change just the Boot-Animation?
I have also installed ROM Toolbox. The app found several install locations where bootanimation.zip files are stored.
data/system/theme
and in
system/media
I never personally used that app. I just put my bootanimation.zip into /system/media or if you want the bootanimation to stick through ROM updates, put it into /data/local/
Or you can change the bootanimation via the built in Theme Manager but it will require a theme with a built in boot animation or a apk that is boot animation only for Theme Manager.

I tried to install a custom boot animation and now I get a black screen until android starts. I've placed 2 separate animations in the /system/media/ folder named bootanimation.zip. The first time there was no file there. If I delete the custom file my original doesn't return. Ideas?
You probably have another file. Correctly removing the userspace bootanim should bring back the original, unless you deleted that or have a non working anim in there.

You can't have two files with the same name in the folder. Also, I think you're supposed to put the .zip in /data/local. The bootanimation.zip in my /system/media folder is the original, the one in /data/local is the one I replace.
The only way i know of in MIUI to change boot animation is by going into themes and customizing the boot animation via downloading random chinese MIUI boot animations online. Say i've got my own bootanimation.zip? How can I make that my current boot animation without MIUI getting in the way? Should i just put it in system/bin? That's it? Or is their something else i have to do? <.< Any help is greatly appreciated
Miui themes (including the bootanimation) are stored in .mtz files. They are just zip archives with specific contents. My suggestion is to download one of the online bootanimaions available for miui and then open it winrar or 7zip and you can see what the contents look like and mirror it to package the bootanimation.zip that you want. Then place it in the miui/theme folder on your sdcard
Hi,
Does anyone know how to add this bootanimation from UOT kitchen and keep the beats animation too for ARHD 6.6.4XE?!
I need to rename the downloaded zip to bootanimation.zip and place in the data/local/ folder and change the permissions to....??? (how do i do this btw?)
Sorry to be a pain.
Thanks for all your help!
You need to use a file manager with root permission, I personally use ES file explorer. You can copy files and change permissions.

What are the permissions needed for each folder/zip? And if I were to replace the .png files within the bootanimation.zip with the ones i dl'd, will it still keep the beats animation that follows?
Here is the default black bootanimation for cm12 instead of the white one, it is kinda silly, with all due respect.
Steps:
rename the default bootanimation.zip to bootanimatio.zip.backup or delete it
download the zip file and place it under /system/media
change the permissions to -rw-r--r--.
reboot to check.
Press thanks please.
Device : Moto e5 running on stock rom.
Animation changing method: File manager(Root) - renaming file to bootanimation.zip & changing permissions to rwrr.
When I was on custom rom, I downloaded flashable zip file of a bootanimation & extracted bootanimation.zip from there. Then followed the written method. It worked perfectly.
But on stock rom, changing the bootanimation causes black screen instead of animation on startup. Only the stock animation works.
So I looked inside the stock bootanimation.zip. There is no folder of frames like the custom animations. Instead there are 2 videos(For normal play & loop), an image, also a desc file. So I made 2 videos from custom bootanimation frames, a png file, and copied the desc file from stock one. Then I renamed everything like the stock zip file & created new zip. Even the video resolutions are same. But still it doesn't work. Why, any solution?
