Don't feel stupid. I was working with my Nook Color, last night and had a hard time too. The OP bootable version has a script that is too old.

Run Superuser or get it and then run it.

Start "File Expert" (get it from the market, it is free.) it may force closed once, that is fine just restart it that is just Superuser kicking in.

From Local use the back "arrow" button to browse to the root, not /mnt/ but to "/"

Browse to System (not Sys), then to Media.

Check mark the Bootanimation.zip file.

Press the "Menu" button below, then "More", then "Mount."

Once the file is mounted you can change its properties to include writing, I checked them all. Rename it Bootanimation.OLD if you like and then copy in a copy of the new file. Then change the properties of the new file to match what the old one was. Exit. Shut down and restart and enjoy the show. Hopefully.

Bye the way I posted this elsewhere last night:

I spent way too much time getting this going. But now I have a sparkly green booting Android to match my Ballistic green Trident case. http://www.meritline.com/trident-ag-...--p-66846.aspx

Here is the thread for a few colors of the animation and hints to how to install it. I failed to extract it from Racks 6.2 ROM, couldn't see it. So I had to do some digging.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=985251

His flashing versions are too old. But the straight animations work. The hard part for me was getting the file system to let me change the attributes on the original. Superuser, mount the file?..sounds dirty. I used the free File Expert, from the Android Market. I am up waaaay to late. Sure there are easier ways to do it. But I can be pretty dense even on a good day.

I really need some help guys.. I've already spent too many hours stuck on this.. I'm running a gingerbread ROM, it's rooted and I have samsung galaxy S.. I tried to place bootanimation.zip in \system\media and it went into a boot loop. Restored via CWM. Tried \data\local and boot loop again! please! HELP! I want this boot so much!!!

P.S. - First post here, hello to everyone!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nvmedjpain:
aph and ilhe1s, i installed the Verizon/Droid RED you posted using Root Explorer and added my own custom mp3 to go with it.

just wanted to say thanks for your work on these boot animations
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Verdammt:
Just curious how the purple one was coming along?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ilhe1s:
I apologize. I started it and got busy with work. I will hopefully have it up by this weekend at the latest.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Verdammt:
No big hurry. I just flashed a purple theme and need a cool boot animation to go with it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mbrulla:
Someone posted a request for a white one earlier, was that ever posted?

I just read through the thread, but I didn't see it.

For some reason I remember having a white one, but now I can't find the .zip file anywhere...quite frustrating...

Anyway, if you could upload one that would be absolutely amazing (for those of us with minimalistic homescreens/themes). Also, possibly update the OP with the newest additions (Pink/Orange) for those lazies who don't want to read through the whole thread). Or make them work for it, I'm ok with either one. :-)

Every single one of these is a masterpiece in and of itself. Wonderful work to you and the original designers.

Applied the animations via explorer, the start up boot animation is fine but when I apply the same for the down animation, the size is all messed up, it's about 1/8th the size on the top left of the screen, someone please help.

Are you talking about the power down animation on the Sensation and Evo 3D?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ArmedandDangerous:
I can't get it to work too. Overwriting my current boot animation from Root Explorer, installing from SD from Terminal Emulator, doesn't work. Recovery aborts installation of ZIP too.

Even after deleting the file for my previous boot animation, it still launches during boot, and the Verizon one doesn't make an appearance at all ):

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ArmedandDangerous:
I can install it through recovery, it even says I've installed a sweet animation, but then I reboot and my old boot animation still plays! Even after I've deleting it from system/media >.<

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dased14:
Are you using that app? If so that may change things a little i'll have to look in to the app and see what it changes and i'll look at the bootanimation zip ( I didn't open it just zipped into a flashable) it see if that has a problem.

brought to you by the little voices in my head
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ArmedandDangerous:
Yeah, I just downloaded it and installed Boing from Terminal Emulator. I did a search on Root Explorer for boot and .zip and came up empty looking for where the anim goes so I can delete it and install the Verizon one >.< I installed logcat, and I can replace the boot anim with the logcat anim, but then when I uninstall that, it goes back to Boing ):

Thanks for looking into it!

EDIT 1 : Does it make a difference that I am using a DZ instead of an EVO?

I'm running FEARde's B7 rom, 2.3.5, sense 3.5

I can't get the boot anim to work by flashing or copy and paste via root explorer. What could be the problem? I still just get the "HTC quietly brilliant" boot screen that came with the rom which is BOOORRINGG lol.

Oh well, I can't figure it out..
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dased14:
ok try this resized and changed the desc to wildfire size.(not flashable you must use root explorer
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dased14:
when you used root explorer where did you put the new bootanimation?

spot on mate thanks and i am asuming i can use the txt file for any boot animation.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dased14:
Should be ok as long as it only has that set amount of files, if not edit with notepad++. just make sure you use store(0 compression) when you zip it up

I been using the green one for awhile :) As soon as I got my phone I wanted to get rid of the AT&T logo, learned to root, got yellow triangle, learned the proper way (no count or triangle) bought a JIG and all is well.

I got an SGP neo hybrid case (reventon yellow) and I was wonderin how to get or make this animation in yellow or orange?

I'm usin lite'ning rom 6.1 right now, and I was wonderin if there's any orange or yellow themes out there. (boot anim on my phone takes 15 seconds)

I just noticed this is evo 4g forum, I got SGS II at&t i777 Not sure how much different our phones operate but this worked in seconds for me.

cd c:/asdk/platform-tools
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media

make sure bootanimation.zip is in c:/asdk/platform-tools folder.

SGS II boot anim is 15 seconds long.

Also note I had no bootanimation.zip in /system/media to begin with. Otherwise:

adb shell
cd /system/media
mv bootanimation.zip bootanimation.bak
exit
adb pull /system/media/bootanimation.zip c:\
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/

mv bootanimation.zip bootanimation.bak renames the .zip to .bak so you can restore it by just renaming it to .zip if you want.

However:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Lacedaemon:
[SOLVED] "Read-Only System File"

I can't seem to copy the given .zip to the specified directory because overwriting or merely touching the existing "bootanimation.zip" would raise a bunch of alarms, in particular whining about the existing "bootanimation.zip" being a "read-only system file". Tried using numerous programs and also tried the flashable version, but nothing's working. Can I get some help, please? :confused:

EDIT: I was able to get the .zip into /system/media/ using Root Explorer, but when I reboot, it's still the default MIUI boot animation! What did I do wrong? :confused:

EDIT 2: Success! Turns out, MIUI has a different directory you have to put the .zip in. :D I especially owe my success to this post:

I also put the .zip in the /system/media/ folder just in case. Thanks for nothing, I guess, guys! :o
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dased14:
did you get it to work cause if your using miui you to have it in a mtz for it to been seen and to work. if you still need it i will put it into a mtz, you place that on sdcard and go to theme manger and you look for it there.

which one do you want?

But i`ve always to restore a backup when I want to change the bootani...is that the "normal" way to do it???
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] CamoGeko:
Bootanimation on SGS2 is located at /system/media/, all you have to do to back it up is rename the file to .bak. Afterwards you can just change it back and that's it. You will need to use a root explorer like Super Manager for example to be able to browse system and change contents.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] radicspeter:
hi all!

I have got 2.3.6 jvu Galaxs S stock odex with semaphore 2.5

So how can i change the bootanimation...

I dont find my original bootanimation.zip...so where have i put this animation?

Thanks yours reply!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] CamoGeko:
There is no original bootanimation.zip, just place this one into system/media with a root explorer. When you want to go back to stock animation, just delete the custom zip from the same place.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] aph:
Had the same problem too at first. Use 7-Zip (by far the best zipping program anyway) and set the compression level to "Store" (no compression.) Give that a shot and I'll make the change if it doesn't work for you.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MadDogMaddux:
As noted below, it needs to go into /system/customize/resource.

I've updated it in the attached .zip file, tried to copy the structure from another boot animation I use, by Luniz. Also, I signed it, which should help.

I just got it working. The above attached file should work now.

Added credit to the OP. Still working on the cyan version, trying to get the color as close to CM's as possible. It seemed to pop a little too much just adding a color filter but I think I have it nailed down with some saturation and curves.

Here are some stills while I work on the rest:

I really think this should be the CM7 default but what do I know. :)

I think I'll also be making a blue Honeycomb version since I use the Honeybread theme (see my sig) and the native HC boot animation just doesn't look right in portrait on our Evos.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] KLLSWITCH:
that looks awesome man good work!

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] aph:
Thanks for making this. As I mentioned in the PM I was about to replace the original one with yours, but looked on my phone and don't even have a /system/customize/ folder...

Are you running Sense or CM? That might explain the difference and help me differentiate between the versions.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] aph:
Link to it, I'd love to try it. Unfortunately the 480x800 original stutters on my phone for the first couple of seconds before it gets smooth.

I'll love to try yours though and I'd gladly replace what's posted with it if it really is smooth.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MadDogMaddux:
Good clarification!

I'm using a sense based ROM, Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo RLS5. The .zip should work with any Sense based ROM.

Sorry, I forget that other platforms use a different file structure.

Maybe I'll do white after the blue Honeycomb version for myself. :)

Each one takes about an hour and I only have a few hours free every day.

What do you guys think of this color matching for Honeycomb blue? I am trying to match the theme at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=943423:
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] o0adam0o:
Yeah i understand. The green one looks awesome. Thanks for the hard work!

I was also wondering what it would look like to have a similar splash-screen but without the particle ring around the android. Then this boot-screen would come up after it. Not sure what effect it would produce. But it could be good!

Thanks again!

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pinghsien422:
I was dis-satisfied with the 256 x 256 resolution, since it showed up quite fuzzy on my galaxy s2. So i downloaded the original 480 x 480 version, and went ahead to make my own modification. It came out AMAZING:

I kept the image sizes at 480p, on the SGS2, it's MUCH MUCH more crisp compare to the 256p. Also, the initial choppiness issue is resolved as well.

(On SGS2, if you pay close attention, you may notice *very minor* choppiness for like a fraction of a second when the animation appears, but it's mostly non-noticible since the image was still in the process of fading in :p)

Here's what I did:

- Changing hue: The hue is now changing constantly, instead of one single color.

- Size: Cropped the original 480x800 to 480x480, getting rid of some unless black area.

- Image format and quality: Used JPG instead of GIF, since jpg files are smaller compare to gif, this allows me to keep the image resolution at 480p. Down-graded the jpg quality to get the file size down. The resulting zip file at 480p is now even smaller compare to the one at 256p posted by the OP. Doing so drastically decreased both the choppiness magnitude and the duration. Making this virtually butter smooth

- Frame rate: Kept at 30fps instead of 24fps since i was happy with the smoothness already.

Disclaimer: I only tested this on my sgs2, so i'm not sure how well it'll come out on the Evo. Also, i'm not responsible for any damage to your phone, so use it at your discretion.

The attached zip file is CWM flashable zip file, not sure if it works with evo, but the bootanimation.zip can be extracted from it, just look into the data folder inside the zip and you'll find it.

Anyone who tried this please let me know how it came for them :D

SPECIAL THANKS to aph for his work and the inspiration, as well as Dysgenic for making the original animation.

If it's too big you can just edit the desc.txt and change 480 480 to something like 416 416 and copy back over.

Do you think you could ever look into making a red ring'd one? I think that'd look sick :) Red is such a great color, red on black... that's the ONE reason I liked The Ultimate Droid Rom... the redness he had in it. But his CM7/GB version doesn't have the red love like the Froyo version did... boo
