Okay, let's go straight..I've been flashed two ROMs from eugene's Macnut R12 and Team Whiskeys' Obsidian V3, which are both roms competible to change bootanimation.zip. So, i found the .zip that i want and just place it under the /system/media/bootanimation.zip and reboot.
Not work and instead of Not shown any log, it boot into Stock Android.
Please...Can anyone help me to solve it, i just want to change a bootanimation into something i like??
i cant find bootanimation.zip inside media.i can see bootani.qwg file. how to replace it??
Might seem like a simple question but did you take out the original bootanimation.zip before you put the new one in? Also you have to set the permissions correctly. Try again and pull original out and put on sdcard. Put new one in and check permissions. Then reboot. I've done this many times, so not sure why it didn't work for you.
If you don't see bootanimation.zip in /system/media but rather a bunch of bootani.qwg files, your kernel doesn't support it. I know the Bali kernals do, as most Voodoo injected ones do too.

I have been looking for the last couple days for this...
I want to simply flash a Kernel that will allow me to load my custom "bootanimation.zip" file into system/media and it show on boot-up. The catch is, I don't care to do this by flashing a custom ROM. Don't get me wrong, I really like some of the ROM's that these guys have created, I just don't want to go crazy with them. I want to make my own mix of greatness!
I did the update over Kies Mini, but then flashed the deodexed KA7 stock ROM from the Bible (In development). So it's the stock kernel that came with the KA7 build that I'm running.
I need to know what Kernel is compatible with the KA7 ROM
OR
how do i modify the system myself to make it work with custom bootanimation.zip files??
Any help is appreciated!!!

you can use any 2.2. kernel (most, if not all, support bootanimation.zip) with any 2.2 firmware/ROM. just keep a heads up because a lot of kernels flash their own modem. So if you flash a kernel that flashes a modem besides KA7, you would have to reflash KA7 manually if you want to keep it.
I would PERSONALLY recommend Eugene's Dead Horse kernel....just read before you flash!!!

I've flashed the deodexed KB1 ROM as well as the new KB1 Kernel + Voodoo by supercurio. I have his kernel specifically because it says in the main post "Also supported: custom boot animation, init.d scripts and an improved adb shell (new!)"
I love voodoo... but that's beside the point!
I've copied my bootanimation.zip folder (zipped using store mode, uncompressed) into the system/media folder on my phone and deleted the two samsungbootloop files in there. The damn thing still doesn't play the animation! I only have a 'part0' folder which houses all images labeled 'welcomanimation_0000' with progressing numbering. Permissions set are RWXRWXRW- as they are on most the custom ROM bootanimations I see around.
My 'desc' file has EXACTLY THIS in it:
480 800 30
p 0 0 part0
which was pulled straight from another ROM's bootanimation files!
I don't get it! What in the world am I missing??
It's irritating seeing all of these great boot animations and I can't get my own one working... anyone know what I'm screwing up?
Edit: I'm going to try flashing a custom bootanimation file and simply replacing their file with my file and see if there is something in their script in the flashing process that get's modified that I'm not doing myself through root explorer. Respond and let me know if that is a bad idea... I plan on trying it in about an hour after getting some crap done around the house.
Well... for anyone else that has had this issue...
Downloading an already packaged bootanimation file from one of these lovely moders... replacing their bootanimation.zip file in the media folder and packaging it all back up in a flashable zip folder worked like a charm! Thank you to whomever it was I took the file from... if I knew how to package a file to be flashable, I probably would have done it myself, but I didn't want to go through the hassle of learning.
Problem Solved!
is it possible to pull a boot animation from another Rom? if so how do i do it?
Yes you can do it. I won't get too in depth cause there are several threads explaining how, but copy whatever bootanimation you want to SD card first. Then depending on what ROM you have the bootanimation could either be in /data/local, /system/media, or in stock ROM i believe /system/customize/resource. Rename the stock bootanimation to bootanimation.zip.bak in case you want to revert then copy your new bootanimation to same folder and make sure the filename is bootanimation.zip and the permissions match what the previous one was which is (rw-r--r--). Reboot and your done. Same thing can be done with the downanimation also.
Thanks found an animation from another ROM I liked and wanted to put it on ROM I like using

Thank you! worked perfectly. other than verizons bootanimation is named VZW_bootanimation.zip. worked great!
So i have been attempting to create a battery mod using some of the ones for the i9100 and i have been failing. I'm currently running Cognition V2. I only want the battery icon to change. and i know the files are in the framework-res.apk in the drawable-hdpi. I was told i can put all the image files in a modified Framework-res.apk and put in the framework folder. then rename the one the phone is using and then rename the modified one to exactly what it is suppose to be. It works for him but when i do it i instantly get FC when i change the name of the file. then after a reboot the correct battery icon is there but i get lots of FC's including the all important android.phone.com. So i must be doing something wrong. i was conversing in the Cognition section but since its off topic i moved it here. any help and tips are appreciated.

The key is to move the modified framework-res apk (correctly named and ready to move) into system (not in a subfolder), change the permissions to the appropriate ones there (sd card won't let you do them). I'm pretty sure the permissions are rw-r-r. They have to match the permissions of the file it's replacing. This is why you get the FCs. From here, move it into the framework folder, it'll prompt if you want to replace, hit yes or ok. Reboot.
Took me hours of reading to figure out something extremely simple. But, hopefully this will save some of the smart people here from having to expend energy belittliing retarded noobs like me.
When I flashed to SHOstock's ICS 2.2.6 I missed the droid animation he had with his GB 1.9.4. So I went searching on how to change it back.
It's pretty simple. All you have to do is.....
1. Get a file explorer with root access. I use ES File Explorer
2. Download any of the custom ROMs in GSII Development
3. Unzip the ROM, open System>media folder. Find the bootanimation zip file and copy that to a folder of your choice on your phone.
4. On your phone, open your file explorer and allow it root folder read/write access
5. Navigate to System>media folder and backup the original bootanimation zip, in case you ever want to replace it.
6. Navigate back to where you put the custom bootanimation zip and copy and replace that zip into the media folder on your phone.
You're done.
If there was audio to the bootanimation it's the same copy and paste process. The .wav file should be located in System>etc. It's named "PowerOn". Once you move that over you may have to change the file permissions to RW--R--R.
To change permissions in ES File Explorer you long press the icon. It'll pull up an "Operations" drop down. Scroll to "Properties". Click "Change". Then make sure User: read/write is checked. Group: read. Other: read Then click ok.
If the sound doesn't work you may have to rename the PowerOn.wav to "PowerOn.ogg"
I'll try and answer any questions you may have but keep in mind i've only had this phone for less than two weeks. I've been lurking and studying on XDA for even less. But i'll do my best.
Remember, before asking questions, searching/reading the forums is your best option. I'm still a total novice but because of this wonderful place i've managed to root my phone, installed several different kernels and themes and flashed two different ROMS
You can also put the bootanimation.zip file in data/local. This way you will preserve your stock bootanimation file.

Hey I'm not sure if this is recommended but I didn't see any instructions specifically for disabling the bootsound. I did find the location of it in this post so I just removed it and my phone stopped making noises when it boot up. I'll report back if any weird issues start happening.

Should be ok. Because if the animation didn't have sound to begin with the .wav file wouldn't be there.
Props to chetan_mohanty for the bootanimations.
Most of the links to the ba's are down but the MassEffect one is still active.

CM10 Bootanimation
Just downloaded the latest nightly, has the new bootanimation that fits perfectly on our device, thought I'd share it for anyone that wants it but doesn't want to download the whole ROM or update for some reason or aren't even running CM10!
Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?2o06igj8pcc0wzk
Note: This is not a flashable, push/pull/punch/kick it to system/media.

Dude!! THATS SICK!! also diggin the background beat. what's it called?
Just an FYI. Instead of pushing to /system/media you can push it to /data/local and set permissions correctly and viola!! you have your CM10 (or any BA) to test out whether or not you like it. This leaves your original Bootanimation safe and unadulterated in /system/media.
Don't like the CM10 one and want to put a new one on your phone. Just delete the one in /data/local and either replace it with a new one or leave empty, as your original in /system/media will still be where it should be.
setting permissions
May I ask . . .
How do I correctly set permissions??
Thanks!

This is a great animation The slight problem I have is that when it is installed (as stated) on my Htc dhd the phone does not automatically reboot.
Pls let me know what the correct permissions are, in case that might be the problem.
I'm running CM V11-20140619-Unofficial-ace
4EXTRecovery touch v1.0.0.6 rc3
and update the rom quite often.
If I use CMRecovery there are no problems but I prefer to use 4EXT. Any help would be appreciated.

They are 644.
Just open something like Root Explorer and give Owner, Group, Other all Read permissions and then just Owner: Write and Execute permissions. Basically the whole first column down and the whole top row across need to be checked.
One thing that you might want to make sure you are doing is to extract the zip down and find the bootanimation.zip. That is the one that you want to push to /data/local and not the entire downloaded zip file. If you push it to /data/local, you should not need to flash anything in recovery.

Many thanks Woody,
I had assumed that the zip was just to be placed in /data/local. Not realizing one has to extract the outer zip.
