I have searched up and down the net to find exactly how to allow us the ability to customize our boot animations. Finally came across this post here on XDA that made it all possible. Original thread
I have included a flash zip file to allow the ability to add custom boot animations. I will be providing a much robust solution in the near future, but for now I must share what I have. I have tested this and it works. That being said you know the drill, use at your own risk.
Installation instructions:
Download and flash in recovery
Insert your own bootanimation.zip in the system/media folder
Reboot and enjoy!!!
I built this flash tool using Aroma for our Player to allow you to choose from different bootanimations. Please let me know if there are any bootanimations you would like to see. I can also make them, however they are a bit time consuming so let me know what you are thinking and I will determine if it is worth the time and effort. It helps to have either video or gif files to go off of. Anyways this flash tool was originally developed by betoNL here: Original Thread. I had to modify it to be used on our device and changed all the boot animations to fit our screen. I will be doing a lot with this once I find the time. For now please enjoy and feedback is always welcome. Also for the other Galaxy Player owners, please let me know if you want one developed for your devices? I can modify it to work with pretty much any Samsung device.

someone else may enjoy this. this was originally posted by Crackanug: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=904350#.
all i've done is take the Call of Android bootanimation.zip, changed color to green, resized to fit screen and optimized for small size. i'm a noob so don't know yet how to make this flashable but there is some great info out there, if needed.
i tried uploading zip directly but was a bit too big so here it is: http://www.mediafire.com/?p77y8rc07gvw426
use ADB. get to your tools folder the push it to /system/customize/resource/ then reboot.
Every time I flash a new build of CM9... It always writes over my installed font, boot animation, and installs a fresh build prop...
YES, I know how to edit these files prior/post flash, however... it would sure be nice to have an app to edit things such as your build prop, font, and boot animation at download. With a single button push.
Would make lives a lot simpler. - and if I'm not mistaken it could work on more than just CM9/AOSP roms as long as the boot animations and fonts are located in the same place in the file system.
I know there's a dev out there that can accomplish this... even with a script maybe?
If this already exists, please... educate me. =)
Just so you guys know, not all of these were made by me. The ones I didnt make I have tested on my nook too and they look very good. I have increased the resolution to improve quality on a few.
Hey guys, I just wanted to make an official thread so people can post boot animations they have and/or find, that look good on the nook color. Make sure your reply meets the following requirnment if you want to post an animation:
Have Either a short description (e.g. This is the stock nexus s boot animation in portarit format) or a picture or video to look at of the animation.
Other than those your free to post! Cheers!
*Note: Assume that everything on this page requires a rooted nook color. Also note that these files will need to be renamed to bootanimation.zip if you arent using a boot animation changer. I will also Update this thread from time to time to add more boot animations when I finish them. I also will take requests if you have an idea for one Ill give it a try (as long as its more or less appropriate). =P
*Disclaimer: As for this I think cwirl says it best. I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
Install Instructions:
If your using a boot animation changer you may skip these.
1. Plug your nook into your computer and (if you havent already, rename the file bootanimation.zip) place the bootanimation.zip file in the root of your SD card.
2. Using a root explorer (I suggest ES File Explorer) copy the bootanimation.zip file then switch to device storage and go to the file path; data>local or system>media (with system>media it will overwrite your current boot animation).
3. Paste the bootanimation.zip file in here and overwrite the current one.
4. Reboot and enjoy!
What Animations Are Pack #1?
1. Droid.zip: Similar to the droid Eye, but very different at the same time (my personal favorite).
2. ASUS eee pad Boot Animation.zip: Stcok asus transformer prime landscape.
3. Sony S Tablet Boot Animation.zip: Stock Sony S Tablet boot animation
4. android text.zip: Cool green android landscape text (its very hard to explain).
5. autobot blue.zip: Blue autobot symbol
6. autobot.zip: Red autobot symbol
7. decepticon.zip: Decepticon symbol
8. silverdecepticon.zip: Silver version of decepticon.
MORE ANIMATIONS COMING SOON TO A NOOK NEAR YOU!
Latest as of 06/22/2012
-CM9 Custom Bootanimations Added
Instead of putting the animation zip in >system/media, it'd prolly be better to put the animation in >data/local.
The new animation will still take affect, but without overwriting the stock file, making it easier to revert, just in case.
Update: Also, you prolly should add a step to your install instructions - renaming the downloaded file to bootanimation.zip
Thanks I forgot about data>local. I will replace that step in my instructions . At the beginning I stated the animations needed to be renamed, but thanks for reminding me of the other animation location. I use a boot animal changer because its easier.
For anyone still following this thread, I am getting ready to post a bunch more animations soon. In that pack are, custom and stock CM9 animations, custom and stock CM7 animations, and any other requests I get! If you want your own animation made, PM me and I will gladly do yours first! Cheers!
Thanks! Great share!
thx awesome
Its that time of year agan! Summer is here and I am updating all my threads, apps, and ...well... everything! So I decided to kick off with a new ICS CM9 Bootanimation! I will be able to put more time into XDA this summer so I am all ears if you want to request something or get help. Have fun!
Now that the H918 is finally rootable with lafsploit (thanks to @runningnak3d), I thought there may be some interest in themes for TWRP. I was watching this thread when he first created these themes several years ago. They have matured a lot over the last few years. Note that it's none of my work and I don't support any of it, I'm just a very happy user of the themes.
Here is the link to the thread with all of the screenshots, instructions, etc.
Have fun!
I've been using z31s1g's twrp black themes on many devices for years, and now I can't imagine using just the stick layout all that time. His work is where the bar is set for sure.
Theres a must have add-on that you must get separately though, aroma file manager. You can find it in this thread. Look for his github link and download aromafm-2.00b7.zip to your phone. Rename and place the zip file to /sdcard/TWRP/theme/aromafm/aromafm.zip
Now, when you check the box in theme settings to use aroma, it will default to that when you tap file manager. AromaFM is a basic but powerful file manager that is WAY nicer than the default one in TWRP. You can select multiple items, unzip with a long tap, save bookmarked directories, and theres even a terminal emulator with a keyboard that again, is much nicer than default.
Its worth mentioning that you don't need any theme applied to use aromafm, you can flash it like any other zip and that will launch the file manager too.
Last bit of info; to use the image kitchen add-on that let's you change the theme and splash screen you want, and pack it into a custom twrp.recovery.img to make your theme sort of baked in, you can install that by flashing osm0sis's mobile version from this thread. At the time of writing this youre looking for UPDATE-AIK.Mobile.Installer.v3.2-ALL-signed.zip
Lately, I've been using @G.M.L. 's MAT theme, which is based off of that one but he has a bunch of addirional visual customizing you can do. I tried it just to see and haven't wanted to go back.
After writing this that seems like a lot of work to have a nice recovery mode that you can do anything with, but like I said to open, I couldn't go back to not using any theme at all.
This one is probably the best boot animation I have ever used. A combination of Marvel and DC comics characters, it is a must-have for any Marvel or DC fan. It has almost all the popular superheroes like Batman, Superman, Flash, Captain America, Ironman, Hulk, Wolverine and many more. Just try it once and you will never want to switch to any other boot animation ever! It will definitely flaunt your device and set it apart from others. People will start noticing it as soon as you start using it. And they will probably be surprised how did you do this magic! Just kidding! But yeah, you will definitely start getting questions like "How did you do it?" "Please help me getting it" etc. Just smile and make a face like "Hey it's a magic"!! Try it to believe it.
Requirement:
1. A rooted Nokia 7 plus device (International version)
2. The bootanimation zip file given below.
3. Common sense and patience.
Instruction to use:
You don't really need to flash the zip file. I will make it very simple for you. Just download the zip file from the given link. The zip file will be like "bootanimation.zip". Now just open ES file explorer or any file manager with root access. Now locate the downloaded bootanimation.zip file and copy it. Now go to /system/CDA/600WW/Power-on-animation and you will see there is already a bootanimation.zip file. That is your current boot animation zip file. Just rename the current bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip1 for future reference and now paste the downloaded bootanimation.zip file that you copied earlier. Now just restart your device and enjoy all the superheroes on your device. Please note, it won't replace the stock "AndroidOne" splash screen that shows at the beginning. If you want to get rid of the Nokia tune at the starting, just remove the Power-on-Wakeup.wav. Once you set up the new bootanimation, don't forget to give it rw-r-r permission.
If you like the boot animation, don't forget to hit Thanks. It would inspire me to give you more cool boot animations like this.
Note: If you want to see who are all the superheroes there waiting to be unleashed, just download the zip and unzip it to see all the images there.
Disclaimer: Any changes to /system will break OTA update. Hence, you are requested to either take a complete backup of your device or get ready to sideload OTAs manually. I am not responsible for device bricking or bootloop.

U can better make a Magisk module for this to avoid OTA issue
