you could. but make sure it has the right resolution for your phone. Not quite sure what happens when you used low or oversized res bootanims. and make sure its named bottanimation.zip
System is write protected. we can only read or delete files on system but won't replace ir change it. Maybe your device not boot if you do this.
If you just remove the animation from the system, the system will boot as Android.
Definitely don't try to replace the animation with another one when the system is running. If there was a bootlop, you would have no way to fix it.
You can safely replace the animation only in recovery, in case of a bootlop you can put it back in recovery. If recovery allows you to exchange.

maybe thats why when I tried to copy the new animation inside root folder I couldnt paste it there...yeah I dont think I will do any animation replace as I am very new at this and this is my first time flashing a rom even... I'll just wait for any pros to do it first... Thanks a lot for your warning.

We can change boot animation with magisk if you want to try.

Yes, sadly Magisk is the only feasible way to do it with A/B device, or build the rom, at least the /system image, by ourself with other bootanim
the bootanimation.zip file is present at system/product/media
also, you will find another bootanimation.zip in product/media

For anyone wondering how to replace your bootanimation, just mount your system partition either with Clockwork Recovery or root explorer and push a bootanimation.zip to /system/customize/resource/TMUS_bootanimation.zip
Here are a couple you can use:
My Evo 4g Bootanimation Thread - Sorry some say Evo 4g.
SamJamz BootAnimation Thread
Basically any bootanimation from a phone that is 480x800 should fit just fine.

Do you push the file while in recovery mode? Kinda confused about that part.
Edit: Got it, yep, you have to be in recovery to accomplish this.
Can this be done on non rooted phones? I know it was done on the nexus

Our phones are a little bit different... our bootanimation is located at system/customize/resource and renamed bootanimation.zip to TMUS_bootanimation.zip I did all this thru root explorer no adb required!
just incase, I also copied the original file I was replacing to my sdcard (if ever I wanted to go back)
Hope this helps
Here's one of my favs, R2d2 boot animation. It's already named correctly, just use root explorer, and make sure the permission is right. Ahh, can't upload zip from the app, I will when I get to my cpu
Thanks for this!
I now have a sweet Android (Cyanogen theme - in prep for CM release ) boot animation in place of the lame stock "my" scribble.
Now all I'd like to do for boot is change the stock splash screen. I've found one to use, but the instructions for applying are for the Evo and not sure I want to risk jacking something up if it's not right. It states to use fastboot to flash the splash screen onto the phone, replacing the stock. To those who know - does that sound right? Where is the stock splash located so I can back it up to my sdcard first?
Any pointers appreciated!
it looks like it u have to be permarooted for the changes to stick :-\
can anyone else confirm??

Maybe I'm stupid, but I couldn't get system to mount through Clockwork, so just copied the zip to my sd card and replaced the stock file using Root Explorer.
Worked fine, though I backed up the stock one first.

I am also in root explorer and went thru the needed folders till I got to bootanimation folder. How do you paste the renamed animation into that folder? (don't want to screw it up) copy from my sd card and paste it into the folder? Do i paste it into the folder and then tap on (mount rw)? Or do I tap on (mount rw) then hit paste. Rookie worried I might screw it up if do it wrong.

This contains a qmg file. If i rename the zip to bootanimation.zip it should work?
In case you were still waiting for a reply, no it should not work. A qmg file is a compressed video file using some proprietary format that gets played. Bootanimation.zips contain a series of images that are linked together to create an animation.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

check untermensch thread of the i9000 boot and shutdown animation. i have steps on what i did to get it to work on a rom modified for bootanimations.zip
whats happening is the zip you're flashing, isnt installing the qmg files to the system/media. so you'll have to push them manually with root explorer

If you move the samsungalaxy.zip file (unless that's just a flashable zip), make sure you rename it to bootanimation.zip
All it does when you move it is replace the existing one.

for some reason I cannot drag and drop the file into the system/media folder. I am using Root Explorer. Is there something else I should know?

Wht's funny is that Moto didn't even bother to add the audio file to the system/media/audio/notification folder. It is still as 2.2.2.
This just goes to show how lazy they are when they can't even update this simple thing. It may be a very minor detail, but it's the small details that make the difference.
OP, if you use the boot animation from the GB ROM and you want the boot animation audio, move att_power_opt.ogg to system/media/audio/notifications.

Maybe Motorola realized that the att_power_opt.ogg is annoying. And maybe opt stands for optional?

Yeah, guess it's optional since you need root and a file manager like Root Explorer to move it? If Moto wanted to make it optional to the general public, there would be an "option" to use it or not.

it works, but it doesn't repeat the animation. How would I make it repeat that? Also, any possible way to add unlocked to the boot animation so it doesn't just disappear when it boots?
You will need to set permissions!

Has anyone got a custom made or downloaded boot animation for their Z3 working? Because I can't get mines to work at all and then when I placed the original bootanimation.zip back, the original boot animation no longer works either.
I use this one! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.liveboot
It's pretty cool! GIve it a shot!

That looks pretty cool. But does it work on your Z3, I'm assuming it does because you said you're using it. But I would more like to use my own that I made myself and I just can't get it to work at all. I know how to make boot animations and how to ZIP them up as Store and what the values in the desc.txt mean. I just don't understand why it won't work. And even after putting back the original bootanimation.zip, I no longer have a boot animation at all.
Idk man :|
Have you tried editing an already existing one?

Yeah I actually edited a copy of the original which has the exact same number or images that I replaced in it even saved them all in the exact same image format. But what's weird is that after I realized that the one I made was no good, I placed the original back. But even after doing that I now don't have a boot animation at all.
So no one knows why custom made boot animations won't work with the Z3? I've made my own custom boot animations for both of my previous Android devices, Xperia PLAY and Xperia Z Ultra and I've never had any issues when doing it.

I recently created a nice boot animation for the Honor 8, but I don't have an Honor 8. In fact, I have a Samsung, so I'm unable to test it since the formats are different. I just need someone with an Honor 8(1080x1920 display) who can test this for me and let me know if it plays properly(ie. the timing is right, etc.) before I post it.
To test YOU MUST HAVE ROOT, a custom recovery like TWRP installed & some experience with flashing zips and backing up your device in case you need to restore. Much appreciated. Thank you!

Ok. Does anyone know why you can't change the boot animation on the Honor 8 and Honor 7? It seems that even with root and TWRP it's still preventing this rather simple change. I had someone test my animation on their device and it flashes fine, but it doesn't change the animation for them, even when replacing the bootanimation.zip file with the proper permissions manually. I make animations all the time, so it should work just fine, but what could it be that's not allowing the change? Any ideas? :/
UPDATE: The person testing for me just tried deleting his bootanimation.zip completely and rebooting and it still shows the stock boot animation on boot, so there must be a master copy that it keeps copying from somewhere that's writing over my animation on boot. Any help? Ideas? :/

The boot animation on the Honor 8 is located in the following directories depending on the device:
/version/special_cust/FRD-L04/hw/usa/media
/version/special_cust/FRD-L09/hw/usa/media
/version/special_cust/FRD-L14/hw/usa/media
If you remove the bootanimation.zip located there it seems to default again to /system/media/
So if you're making a twrp script, you may want to try having it remove the bootanimation.zip located in /version/special_cust/FRD-L04/hw/usa/media

I wonder if I can just have it replace the animation in both locations, making a zip for each(L04, L09, L14, etc.) If I could identify which variants have which FRD folder, then maybe I could just list the files as such.

It really isn't that complicated. Huawei ignored using /system/media and instead made their own directory (aka special_cust) which contains bootanimations. Each device has a product name/number (aka FRD-L04, FRD-L14, FRD-L09, etc). The folders in there correspond with the product name/number of each region specific device. So, I have a FRD-L04, so my folder is /version/special_cust/FRD-L04/
My suggestion however was to simply remove the FRD-L## folder inside /special_cust/, then just apply your bootanimation to /system/media. This way it'll work on any device.

The guy who was testing for me actually had an Honor 7, but said he tried replacing my animation with the Huawei folder one and ended up in a bootloop. His folders were a little different though. I think his was in the "etc" folder, but it kind of had me wondering if those folders maybe need to be there. Maybe I just need to replace the one in special_ cust. If I made you one that just replaces the L04 one could you maybe test it for me?

I replaced my bootanimation.zip in special_cust with a Pixel Bootanimation and it worked fine.

Still need someone to test it before I upload it for everyone. I already made the file. I can PM you the link if you don't mind doing it. I just want to make sure that it works and that the animation runs smoothly.
