[HOWTO]Change boot animation - Huawei Ascend Mate 2

This is a short simple guide to changing your boot animation. It requires root, and an OEM version the Huawei Ascend Mate 2. You can do this on other versions of the phone, but the directories are different.
The best part about changing your boot animation is that it gets rid of the sound that I am always afraid I am going to hear in the middle of a movie theater randomly.
Personally I am using the stock Lollipop boot animation here:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You can use other 720p animations. Beware, a few different ones have given me bootloops on Lollipop. The one I have provided should be safe.
Using the root explorer of your choice, navigate to "root/cust/normal/us/media/" you should see a file there called "bootanimation.zip", rename this to "bootanimation.zip.orig".
Copy this file here to the same directory as "bootanimation.zip.orig" and rename it to "bootanimation.zip"
Change the file attributes to match the original file. It should look something like this:
At this point you should be done. Reboot and check it out.

I have had trouble in the past with boot loops after changing the boot animation. As in, a one time thing, some boot animations just don't work for whatever reason. If you can't boot after the above steps...
To revert to stock:
Boot into TWRP, go to Mount>Enable Cust or Custom Storage(if you don't have the "cust" partition as an option, you will need to flash this version of TWRP through fastboot
Go to Home>Advanced>File Manager
Locate the directory root/cust/normal/us/media/
Delete "bootanimation.zip"
Rename "bootanimation.zip.orig" to "bootanimation.zip"
Reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

Tool band Salival boot animation

hey there people.
before i get started please BACK UP your phone! just in case YOU screw up.
so i decided to make myself a boot animation w/ sound based on the Salival DVD that the Tool Band released some years ago. This is my first attempt (hopefully not my last) at making an animation. so i have tested the animation and it works perfecty fine on my HTC AMAZE. It is not a flashable zip, so please do not flash. please unzip and place both files in their boot animation folders. i believe that particular folder is rom specific. (Please excuse me as i am noobsome). however i am running NRGZ28 latest ICS Energy rom and the boot animation folder location is under:
system/customize/resource<----place bootanimation.zip and android_audio.mp3 files here!
Too NRGZ28 rom was missing the some coding to allow the sound file to play at startup.
Go to: system/customize/CID and find the default.xml file.
open the defualt.xml file and on the lower half of the file you will see this as the default settigns:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Please make the change as follows:
add in: "system/customize/resource/android_audio.mp3"
dont forget to save.
I hope those of you who like Tool will enjoy this animation.
Please view my youtube video on the animation prior to downloading (i dont want to waste your time)

Awesome boot animation

Official and Custom Wear OS Boot Animation [Root] - Tested on Wear24

I don't want to take responsibility for any bootloops so make sure you have a backup of your original boot animation before replacing it. I imagine it will only work on watches with a 400x400 resolution, but I'm sure it could be scaled down or up easily. Let me know if you need any help.
This isn't the official Wear OS boot animation. Just something I made myself for fun. I'm not even sure if one exists, but if anyone has it, I would like it .
[Edit]
I downloaded the latest Wear OS preview emulator and got the official boot animation from that, but your welcome to the old one if you prefer it.
Download
Old loop with custom animation
Official boot animation
What does the custom one do
Removes Verizon Logo animation from boot for Wear 24
Leaves the default animating color loop animation
Replaces the Android Wear logo with the Wear OS logo
How to
Download the latest NavExplorer from the play store. https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.turndapage.navexplorer
Open settings from the navigation drawer
Toggle the Root switch
Start a Wireless transfer
Paste the zip over the old one in Media
Reboot and you should see the new animation
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
also you will probably need to chmod the zip file when you replace it. this can be accomplished in TWRP recovery

Pixel Style Boot Animation

Pixel devices have boot animations specifically made for them, that is why each and every boot animation from Pixel Ports or ROMS has the google logo on the start. However, Pocophone isn't made by google, but rather powered by their software. So what I did is take their concept of boot animation and apply it on our device, and so I made this boot animation to mimic Google.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Maybe I'll do the G logo next time (If I have the time).
I used the old boot logo as a reference starting point of the boot animation, because it works best on copying Google Pixel's boot animation. So if you are planning to use this on your device then I recommend using the old boot logo. You can achieve this by flashing old firmwares.
But how do I go back to old boot logo without flashing new firmware?
Head over to Telegram Group: Poco Vendor Firmware and search for "POCOF1_Splash_POCOPHONE.zip" and flash it on your device.
See attached file to download the boot animation
NOTE: The zip file is not a flashable zip
Installation guide
1. Extract the "bootanimation.zip"
2. Replace/Delete exisiting "bootanimation.zip" on your device.
3. Set permissions for the "bootanimation.zip" to 0644 (rw-r--r--)
The common locations of bootanimation.zip can be found on:
/system/media/
/system/product/media/
/system/media/theme/cust_config/global/
However, some ROMS refused to play the boot animation, specifically those that are placed inside /system/product/media.
So the recommended way is to place the custom bootanimation.zip on /system/media/ folder.
