Anyone had any luck changing the boot animations? It has been a while since I've rooted and messed around with a phone, so I'm not up to date as to how/if this is possible nowadays.

You can goto root/product/etc/media and replace the bootanimation.zip to your desire boot animation. I have no problem in changing it. Make sure you change the permission to 644.

How do I change permission to 644?

You can use ES file explorer. Select the file. From the "three dot", choose "Properties". Click on change permission. On the permission grid. Check "Owner", "Group", and "Other" for Read. Check "Owner" for Write. Uncheck all others. Click "OK" then click "Cancel". If you do it correctly you should see -rw-r-r- next to the file. Remember you need to get out of the editing mode by click on the back key a few time , get out of the media folder and back in before you can see the change.

I changed the bootanimation.zip file both in systwm/media and product/etc/media, but the boot animation doesn't change. I set permissions on both files to 644. Anyone have any idea why I'm not having any luck?
Has anyone successfully managed to do this?

I have no issues placing the file in the correct path and changing permission to 644. However when booting the screen is just black. Tried different files with same, or slightly different but equally disappointing, result.
So, no need for general instructions on how to do this but rather proof of concept.
Thank you.

Where is my boot animation located on my SD card?
Help appreciated!
It is under /system/media/bootanimation.zip
You won't find it on your SDcard. You'll need an app like Root Explorer to access the file system.
You could also use ADB to push the files there if you're familiar with ADB.
dont have that.. i replace the ones in Bamf_Extras.. but it didnt work
Are you familiar with ADB?
honestly, no. I one click rooted. what can I do?
can i push using clockwork recovery?

I believe there is a free alternative to Root Explorer in Super Manager. It contains File Explorer (Root). It may allow you to copy the bootanimation.zip and mp3 file into the directory. I also am unsure if it will let you set the correct permissions on the files once they are copied. It may be something you can try.

I went ahead and installed Super Manager. It will allow you to do what you need. You'll find the permissions button on the bottom menu bar if you scroll to the right.
You dont need any apps to do it for you, the bootanimation is in system/customize/resource folder you name it the name as the one in the folder and copy over it. Most if not all the developers name it bootanimation.zip the default Verizon is named VZW_bootanimation.zip I have helped people add sound to their boot animations as well this can be edited in the system/customize/CID folder in the file default. Must be edited with notepad++ or wordpad++ its one of those look near the bottom of the file for boot animation. I have become quite good at doing this by breaking it and fixing it. Things like this need to be learned the hard way.

The correct file path is for BAMF Forever 1.0.6 is system/media/bootanimation.zip
There is also an audio file that you can replace in the same location.
I edited my CID file so it where I want it to be. I am used to default setting. Also you can copy over audio but you still need to change desc file and CID so it starts with correct animation. Should I roll my eyes back? Plus I never even said anything about BAMF forever....

I assumed you were attempting to address the original posters questions about changing his boot animation on BAMF Forever 1.0.6. I didn't understand that you were merely randomly posting about how you like to edit this and that. You can roll your eyes back now!
Hi. I tried changing the boot up (and down) animation on my One S (S3). And it just doesn't seem to work. I don't get how. Here's all the things I did:
1. Copied the zip file to my phone, through USB. Renamed it to hTC_bootup_one.zip (as mentioned here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1637870). Then moved it to /system/customize/resource using ES file manager.
2. Copied it to my phone. Booted into TWRP recovery. Moved the file from there.
3. Tried replacing the bootanimation.zip and hTC_downanimation.zp with the same zip file.
All three times, it moved the file just fine. ES asked me everytime if I wanted to replace the original file. And after I replaced it, I went into the zip file with the archive viewer, and checked the files, and they were the right ones.
But every time I shut down and restart, I still get the original animation. What am I doing wrong? Is it the wrong location? Please, please help!
I'm running TrickDroid v5.0.0. Could this be the issue?
Finally, this is the file I'm trying to use: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1732732
Did you set the permission correctly?

Sorry, but what exactly do you mean? Permission for the zip file? Or permission to write onto the system folders? I've got the latter covered. I do have permission to write in the root folders. But if you're talking about permission for the zip file itself, I'm not sure how to do that!
Im talking about the step "- Set permissions to rw-r--r--"
Its done through a terminal or adb shell witrh the command 'chmod'. Im not sure what number rw-r--r-- translated to though, maybe 766 or something.

I just checked that. And yep, it's set to the correct permissions. rw-r-r. The odd thing is though, the original boot animations aren't even there anymore. Since I replaced them with the new one. So how it it even showing me the original one still? Am I doing this in the right location for the One S (S3)? /system/customize/resource?
No idea where its located actually... Try a search for the file and see if it pops up elsewhere (ES Fileexplorer can search, other explorers can probably too)

Right so I gave up, relocked, reflashed stock recovery, got the official JB update, unlocked, flashed TWRP, and viola, boot animation works. So basically the problem was with TrickDroid. I'm not sure what. But, there you go. Thanks anyway.
i got a problem, that's i can't change the file's permission.
I changed the permission of a file called "core" to rw-r--r--. bBut after reboot,the permission will change back to rwxrwxrwx.
anyone can help me?please.

Does anyone know how to change the boot animation on the Mediapad X2?
I've tried putting the custom bootanimation.zip file in all these locations but no luck:
/system/media/
/system/app
/data/cust/media/
/data/local

It's in the Cust/Preinstalled/Public/Media folder in the root directory I believe. If not it's either the one in the cmcc or dualcu folder.

Did you change the permissions of the zip after you put it in the Data/Cust/Media folder? Don't forget we have an odd resolution for our X2's. The 16:10 aspect ratio makes it hard to find things like boot animations that scale properly.

There is probably an XML file in one of the cust folders that has an option to disable the boot animation changing, and you probably have to find it and change it to a 1 or something lol.....I know, a real pain in the a**.
Cust/dualcu/cn/media/
don't forget to set your permissions
I put the zip file in all the media folders inside cust but not working at all. Do you have a working bootanimation.zip i can try? Maybe there's something wrong in my file

Use esexplorer to set permissions for bootanimation.zip -rw-r-r (owner, group, other can read - Owner can write - none can execute) for the file or it will not work.-
If you have moved the media directory set the permission for the directory to drwxr-xr-x(owner, group, other can read - Owner can write - owner, group, other can execute)

I tried changing the powering on logo as well, but that was unsuccessful. I changed the file logo.bmp in four different places and I changed the permissions as well, but the Honor screen always came up anyhow.

If you are talking about changing the splash screen then load_OEM.mbn is the file. But I have tried to flash another. I did on my ascend mate 2 cc version, to get rid of the orange splash screen. But when I try on lollipop 5.1.1 or 5.0.1 , It has security protection that halts it on flash. Some one has to come up with another way than what I was using.

I tried to change the stock boot animation through qmg files After that the screen was blank. So I copied back the old files I backed up. But even then it remains blank. I checked for videos on YouTube but they're showing stock rom flashing. Is there any other way to getting back? Will installing a custom rom have the solution? If there is no other way, I'm not able to download via sammobile site. Pls help buddies
Try checking the permissions if they are set to rw-r-r

I have three permissions in Es file explorer, I've set it to rww-rww-rww. What should I change it to?
