Never installed a boot ani standalone... do you just install from zip while in recovery, or put it in a folder and apply using theme manager?

Any chance we could see a SkyRaider Athena boot ani as well? =]

Depends which type of rom youre using...i cant remember the damn folder for aosp/cm roms but sense/senseless roms is in system/customize/resource...change to VZW_bootanimation.zip. you have to use root explorer to move then restart

Figured it out. After making the previous post, I went through and found some info on it.
First I tried to just install from ZIP via Recovery, didn't work.
Then I used adb push, and on first attempt tried /data/local. This didn't work either.
Finally (and what I do every time now) I did the adb push to the following three directories:
/system/media/bootscreen (I think this one is unnecessary and mainly used for .gif)
/system/media (believe this is the one that worked for the dinc)
/data/local (just in case)
Since figuring this out, I have been playing around with creating boot animations of my own:
1st: sonic the hedgehog rolling, spinning, and then stopping at an android logo.
2nd: a "rick roll" - series of screens of "What Rick Astley will never do" LMAO
3rd: Sonic (2 screens) putting on his glove (better graphic than the 1st)
4th (and current): Guile doing a flashkick followed by Ryu doing hurricane kick.

Rick roll sounds hilarious would love to see that lol

So for aosp Roms just name it bootscreen? Or VZW_bootanimation.zip?
*It's IncREDible*

Any chance on some previews?

Ok first off these should only be named "bootanimation.zip" for the Inc. The only reason this would change is if you have some off beat ROM... but that would be weird and annoying. Next is these should be installed at /system/media for most roms however this can change from rom to rom so its best to ask your roms developer if your not sure. I should have previews as links but I'm not sure cause I am sending this from my phone so i.ll have to check later. This thread will receive an update soon. Btw if you find a good YouTube that would make a good boot ani (no sound) you can post a link to it here. If you can't post links yet put the name of the video and who it was posted by and ill review it and see about making a boot ani from it. Anything that has any inappropriate content such as drugs or sexual content will be ignored all together.

Redemption and Redemption Revolution both have theirs called VZW_bootanimation.zip and VZW_Droid.mp3. They go in the system/customize/resource folder.

Bonestock Bootanimations for the S3 and S4

***LINKS ARE FIXED***
Decided to make a thread for my boot animations for the Bonestock ROM by AndyBones.
Have to give thanks to @andybones (for a kickass ROM) and @gadget! (for the images). Also thanks to my friend Mike for a couple Photoshop pointers.
Below are all the boot animations I have created so far. Need some more ideas and color options!
Currently working on animating the skull.
The pulsing glow animations look better on the phone than they do on here. Apparently the pulsing preview images dont pulse if you are looking at them on tap a talk.
These are tested on both the S3 and S4 (Pre 4.3).
***S3 users are good to go flashing which ever animation you like. S4 users, if you are on a pre 4.3 BoneStock ROM you are good to go. If on the latest 4.3 BoneStock ROM these are not working. I am going to be finding a solution soon. S4 users on a pre 4.3 ROM will also need to download and flash the file in the S4boot folder in my link (if you have already flashed this just download whichever animation you want and flash it).***
***One link will now take you to all the animations.***
Install instructions:
1. Download animation of your choice
2. Move animation you downloaded to /system/media folder. It will probably ask you to replace the existing one. You can do so if you want or before moving new animation add .bak to end of original one.
3. Set permissions of new animation to rw-r--r--
4. Reboot

Something like that is in the works but is going to take a while. Keep an eye out for it in the future.

Nice work!
A firearm is like a parachute. If you need one and don't have one you'll never need one again.

Dude, these are awesome! I'm rockin' the red pulsating one right now, and I love it!

Glad you like them. If there is another color you would like to see let me know.

Wolfballz, first off, many thanks for making and offering these up. One of the few things I didn't like (and admittedly, its a small thing) about BoneStock was the Nexus boot animation ("huh? why Nexus?") so getting to replace that is awesome. I especially like the pulsating animations.
I must not be doing it correctly though, since I am not showing the newly downloaded boot animation. At first, I wasn't getting any change, but I realized I wasn't setting the permissions correctly. But even after changing permissions to RW-R-R I am still not getting the correct boot animation. Weirdly enough, instead I am getting a generic blue Android one (similar to the one from my HP TouchPad running a 10.1 ROM called OaT 10.1).
here's the steps I have been doing:
1. Downloading the Boot animation file from here. It goes to SD card/downloads.
2. Since it is downloading with a (1) after the file name, I rename it to bootanimation.zip (and it asks me if I want to write over existing one... yes)
3. I use Root Explorer to move the file to system/media, it asks if I want to replace existing one, I say yes.
4. I use Root Explorer to confirm the permissions (RW-R-R).
5. I reboot.
I've tried a few times... keep getting the generic boot animation after the Samsung name, then it goes into BoneStock. I also tried downloading a different boot animation, but same result.
I know it must be a step I am doing or not doing... can you point where I am going wrong? Especially confused since it somehow downloaded a different animation. Thanks in advance!

I think the green one should come stock in the ROM now lol. Looks good bud.

What kernel are you using? If I remember correctly some kernels don't support custom boot animations but i may be wrong. You mentioned that when you download the animation you get a (1) after it. Usually that means you have another file named bootanimation.zip in your download folder. I would start by deleting any bootanimation.zip file in your download folder then re-download one from above. Then go into your /system/media folder and add .bak to end of the current bootanimation.zip in there then copy new one from download folder and paste into /system/media and set permissions. Then boot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache and reboot. If that doesnt get it going for you then i'm not sure. You could also try fixing permissions in recovery also. Let me know how it goes and then we can look into it more.

Thanks Wolfballz. I am using the stock kernel that came with BoneStock, so I am guessing its one that does support custom boot animations.
The multiple zips in the download folder may be causing the mixup, so I will try the steps you describe above. Odd though that the stock android animation showed up... is it possible by removing the nexus one included stock in BoneStock it grabbed whatever boot animation it could?
I am guessing worst case I can reflash the ROM one more time, start over with the Nexus boot animation, no?
UPDATE: Success! Thanks for the patient extra instructions. Rocking with the first custom boot animation (Cyan pulsing one).

I would ask Andy if the stock kernel supports custom boot animations. Let me know what he says cause I will update the OP regarding that. I personally have ktoonsez latest kernel for 4.1.2 touchwiz roms. I would try the steps I gave you before going through a whole new reflash.
I PMd andy about the stock kernel

Yup, the first one (cyan, pulsing). I don't know if wiping cache and dalvic cache was needed but I did anyway. As much as I like the new boot animation, I also appreciate the lesson on installing custom boot animations, so thanks again!

No problem. Glad I could help.

These look really nice!
I was thinking about making a bone stock bootani myself but I've just been too damn busy. Let me know if you need any help making flashable .zips or anything.
Another method for installing a "bootanimation.zip " is to put it in data/local. That way you don't have to set permissions and you won't lose the animation when flashing a new ROM version (unless you wipe data)

Thanks. Didnt know about putting it in data/local
I think a lot of people wipe data when flashing unless they dirty flash.

[HD BOOT ANIMATION][SPLASH] Blackout Custom "One" Pack

Blackout One Pack Edited: png-optimized for speed/loading/size and added full preview
The theme is simple enough:
1) White htc "ONE" logo on black bg at splash (splash.zip)
2) fade in white htc "ONE" logo with 8 white loading bubbles transitioning to green before looping x8 until system startup (vzw_bootup.zip)
3) quick green htc "ONE" logo fade-out for shutdown. (hTC_downanimation.zip)
I've included the zip files referenced above as well a an animated .gif preview (full now)
The entire sequence is as follows: fade up white logo, load bubbles, go green, flash three times, repeat loading animation...
For the splash be sure to place in fastboot folder. from the cmd line enter "fastboot oem rebootRUU" and then "fastboot flash zip splash.zip" once the htc logo comes up in RUU mode and then "fastboot reboot" once you're done.
>>>For animations replace the current ones (typically names as per above) in your /system/customize/resource folder and be sure the permissions are set correctly. You'll need root (for animations) and S-OFF (for splash)
Enjoy!

Working good.

do these need to be renamed bootanimation.zip and downanimation.zip to work? i my resource folder i do not have any files in there named like these files.
thanks

if you're running stock, these are the actual conventions. I haven't tried any, but if those are the names of the files in your directory then by all means..

I'm on viper, i tried doing it that way and renaming them to what they were in the resource tab but it didn't work, viper rom thou has a setting in their tweaks to add a boot animation and i did it that way and it worked. great animation by the way really digging it!

Awesome. Glad you liked it! Haven't switched over to a custom ROM just yet as I've heavily modified the stock one.. I suspected it was going to require ROM-specific settings. Liking Viper?

What have you modified about it?!
Yeah I'm really liking it. I never really liked sense or tw that much I'm more of an aosp guy but this rom is pretty bithin. Waiting for cm or slim roms to come out with a build for this phone. Other than that its petty solid. Haven't had any issues with anything and they a have few dark themes which make it really nice

This is actually the first time I've been off cm in a while.. I'm waiting for the lightweights as well.. Sense is definitely better than it was in the past, but I've shut off a lot. Hated tw.. Never ran a galaxy on anything other than aosp.. Really like the latest HTC..
Well if anyone had an animation or a mod question feel free. I swapped out the kernel, enabled all the great settings and froze everything else..

[Q] Shield Tablet Boot Animation

Why has the tablet no boot animation? And is there a way to force the system into using /system/media/bootanimation.zip?
Thanks in advance

If it didn't have boot animation them the device would never run,......... If you look closely, the Nvidia words glow
Sent from my SHIELD Tablet using Tapatalk

How do you figure it wouldn't run without a boot animation?
I don't know what they did to shut it off but I know when I flashed source built kernel or ROM it would use the boot animation. Maybe look into how to shut it off and see if that's what was done.

I searched a bit but it isn't turned off in the build.prop. I think its somewhere in the kernel since the only time I had q boot animation show was with a compiled kernel.

Ok, got bootanimation in landscape to work.
All bootanimations are situated in root/oem/media.
There is one for portrait mode: bootanimation.zip
And one for landscape: bootanimation_land.zip.
Here is a nice Lcars (StarTrek bootanimation) for landscape.
Rename old bootanimation bootanimation_land.zip to bootanimation_land.zip.old.
Copy this file to root/oem/media and rename it to bootanimation_land.zip:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4tNrq8mGo0yT1RmeU5rYktWWlE/view?usp=sharing
Set permissions to rw-r—r—
Now reboot, keep tablet in landscape and enjoy!

[Flashable] Death Note Splash Boot Logo and Boot Animation

Disclaimer
I'm not responsible for any damage that may occur to your device by using the files I provide.
I do not own the copyright for the characters, logos, sounds and images used, I just compiled and created the files to make it work.
Install at your own risk.
I created a Death Note themed Splash Boot Logo and a Boot Animation that fits with it. It also changes the Fastboot background to a cool Ryuk image.
On the zip are also included a couple of Death Note notification sounds and ringtones, after booting those should be available to the system.
If you like Death Note I think you'll enjoy this.
Just flash the attached zip file on custom recovery.

And just in case we want to go back stock without flashing the images then ? :33 BTW can you make a little longer and a bit HD than the current version, it looks so damn cool :33
