Go to system/media and delete the bootanimation.zip
Reboot
Enjoy
(i think that this makes it default to a completely.stock android animation, i have never been able to find where that is stored, it just shows the word "android" written in a greenish color,.slightly shimmering, i enjoy it. I usually delete the bootanimation.zip on any ROM i run just so i can have that plain one i mentioned)

Get root explorer and make sure you have root permissions. Also make sure the folder bootanimation.zip is in had RW permissions.

I have lost all boot animations. My phone boots up just fine with the static 'Motorola Dual Core' image. My question is, what should be the contents of the /system/media folder that houses the bootanimation.zip? I have tried installing various animations through CWM to no avail. Any ideas?
I am running 4.1.83 with the latest GladiAtrix P-ROM
Thanks!
Correct..
/system/media/bootanimation.zip
Try this one, I know it works, its just a .zip. NO CWM. rename to bootanimation.zip, place in /system/media/, reboot. If that doesn't work there is a problem.

OMG!...........Is that the file I think it is???.............The one which makes your phone explode???...............Nooooooo!.............Don't do it............!
Your /system/media folder should have a bootanimation.zip file as stated, and will have a .ogg or .mp3 file if there is any audio.
What do you have in your /system/media folder now? Is it empty?
When did you notice that you had no boot animation? Was it after flashing a new one?

Ok, using adb I copied the renamed bootanimation.zip that you linked to in the /system/media and it didn't work. I redid the GladiAtrix install too and it didn't work. In my media folder I cleared out a couple of ogg and mp3 files cluttering it up and besides the animation zip I have a folder called Audio with a few subfolders called things like ringtones and ui.
Do I maybe have the permissions set wrong? What should they be?

Those are all correct files/folders I have even replaced/renamed some of the .ogg, and I have an additional folder stored in /system/media/ where I store all my botanims. So even if you have other files/folders there it shouldnt matter.
Have you installed "live logcat" or "live dmesg" or some other kind of bootanimation app.?

You know that only happens when you place it in the /self/destruct/ folder and say "Steve Jobs" three times.

No, I don't have any other bootanimation apps or the like. I think I'm about to give up until the next sbf flash I do, probably when GB finally makes its way over.

Permissions should be RW/R/R for bootanimation.zip with no special permissions set.
Same for any audio files that accompany boot animations.

Hmm... permissions are correct. Hopefully a sbf flash will fix everything like it always does. Thanks for all your help guys!
Wondering if there is way to change the Cm7 boot animation to some different. Have one downloaded and tried copy it to the system/media location where the original is located but wouldn't allow rename or move.

did you set your file manager to r/w? its probably r/o right now.
if you dont know how to set it, use root explorer (which gives you an option at the top that allows you to toggle between the two)
thanks now if i can only figure out how to get sound to work with it

Hello Y'all!
I've created a bios-like boot animation for our wildfire:
The idea came from frysee (original thread here), but I've build all the files myself.
There are two way's to put it on your phone:
With the use of ADB:
1. place the attached bootanimation.zip in the tools folder of adb
2. open the command prompt and cd to the tools folder
3. type "adb shell" and press enter
4. type "mv <path-to-bootanimation>/bootanimation.zip <path-to-bootanimation>/bootanimation.old" and press enter
for example: mv system/media/bootanimation.zip system/media/bootanimation.old
-> now you have a backup of your original boot animation
5. exit
6. type "adb push bootanimation <path-to-bootanimation>" and press enter
for example: adb push bootanimation system/media
7. type "adb shell bootanimation" and unlock your screen. You should see the new bootanimation. Press ctrl+c to stop.

New to adb -> link!
You can also replace your bootanimation by using a root explorer:
frysee said:
store on root of SD card
open root explorer make sure to make R/W
go to SDCard and copy file
navigate to bootanimation path (*)
rename bootanimation.zip to something else (bootanimation1.zip)
paste file and rename bios_bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip, if necessary
exit root explorer
reboot phone
Profit = Enjoy Bios boot animation!

What is the right path to you bootanimation?
frysee said:
The right path for your bootanimation differs between devices and even ROMs, so it is hard to list the right one for every setup.
However, you should be able to track down the right one by looking for an existing bootanimation.zip using Root Explorer or ADB.
Most likely it will be one of the following:
/system/media (try this first)
/system/customize (some Evo ROMS seem to use this one)
/data/local (should work an nearly all ROMs, as long as there is no bootanimation on /system)

I can only tell that on cyanogenmod 7, the boot animation is indeed stored in system/media.
When you are on a stock rooted Froyo ROM, you can folow the explanation of laraz (thank you for this, laraz!):

open root explorer make sure to make R/W
go to SDCard and copy file hold down on file you wont and choese copy
navigate to bootanimation path (#)froyo system>customize>rescource- paste over exsting bootanimation.zip done
rename bootanimation.zip to something else (bios_bootanimation.zip)
exit root explorer
reboot phone

The speed of the animation is adapted to my phone: normaly I can only see it untill "activation root access SUCCEEDED", then I can enter my pin.
To adapt the speed of the animation to your phone/ROM, you can change the frames per second:
1. extract bootanimation.zip in the attachment
2. open desc.txt in notepath or similar program.
3. you see the folowing
Code:
240 320 4p 1 0 androidp 0 0 part1
the third number (in this case "4") is the frames per second.
4. adapt ONLY the third number to the desired amount of frames and save the file.
5. put android, part1 and desc.txt again in a zip-file. Make sure that YOU DO NOT USE ANY COMPRESION or it will not work!!!! (in WinRAR: use "compresion method: store")!!
6. Now you can try your new bootanimation!

Yes, but only the relevant ones (and they are png's, not jpg's). But I have the original psd photoshop files so it wasn't that hard, 20 min of work, I think.

nice awesome bootanimation
Can you make the boot animation flashable?
I cant replace the bootanimation.zip using rootexplorer.
I did all the steps but whenever I paste it,
it all goes back to the old bootanimation.
Thanks man.
Great bootanimation thanks.

wont be much here and wont be replying as its as simple as it gets.
ripped this out of the 4.1 gnex ota update preview, edited it so it would work with our phone since the ripped version never played when i tried it straight from the ota. desc.txt was all mangled.
**NEW**NEXUS 7 BOOTANIMATION:
rename to bootanimation.zip
place on your sdcard,
move to /system/media
set permissions to rw--r--r

Wow, that might be the world's most boring animation, but it's still cool to have, so thank you!
Has anybody made the other boot animation with the triangles from Jelly Bean yet? Just watched the video on YouTube about it. Much much better animation!

What did you use to move to the /system/media folder?
Is your file system mounted as writable?

Make sure your file system is mounted as writable. I used ES File Explorer and did all the steps, and it didn't work. So I checked the ES settings and it wasn't "Mounted as writable". Once I fixed that, and did the exact same steps, it worked. The animation looks great.

Hi. I just tried that and it didn't work either. Just moving the bootanimation.zip to the \system\media is all I need to do (besides setting the permissions)? There is no other bootanimation.zip file in the media folder. How does the phone know to use the bootanimation.zip file when booting? Thanks.
Guess this will not work on stock OCS.
Does anyone have a bootanimation that is in the default Samsung format

What rom are you on? Custom boot animation may not be supported.
Is your current boot animation the android logo? There was no other bootanimation.zip in the folder for me, until I placed the renamed JB one.
here's my complete list of steps, that produced the desired results for me on Black*STAR IV ics rom:
*dl file to PC, renamed to bootanimation.zip placed in dropbox
*extracted to external sd card from dropbox app on phone
*moved to /system/media/ folder with ES file explorer (with mounted as writable, and all root options enabled)
*set permissions using Rom Toolbox's root browser
*rebooted phone and enjoyed animation
Mine does samsung logo samsung logo, android logo, then booted up.
Permissions set in ROM toolbox. Bootanimation.zip.
Must be my ROM's animation, (the android letters) needs removed?
Permisions is RW-R--R--
if not, can it be replaced with other one shorter? i currenly have the one with the "motorola spinning world" and its like it never ends!!
