[Q] Droid 2 Boot Animation

Hello everyone,
I have recently been messing around with my droid 2 and was able to change the boot screen successfully by doing the following commands:
PHP:
adb push bootanimation.zip system/media/
After running this command I had the new animation and that works great. My question is if anyone know how to incorporate a boot up sound with this. I have tried creating a bootscreen folder and having the boot_animation.xml in both the system/media path and the system/media/bootscreen path, however to no success. It is to be noted that when I removed the bootanimation.zip from the system/media folder, it defaults to the original blue android loading animation as if it were not seeing a bootscreen folder.

What is the boot animation that you used and is is just as simple as removing the boot animation that is in the system media file and replacing it with another boot animation like what was done with the D1?

Yes it was pretty simple just do the following
PHP:
adb pull system/media/bootanimation.zip
This will pull you current boot animation. Move it somewhere to keep as a backup.
PHP:
adb push bootanimation.zip system/media/
This is assuming bootanimation.zip is located in you android sdk's tools folder. You can use any of the bootanimations that are an assortment of pngs.

I wonder what would happen if you had one in data/local

Anyone have any further info on this? I would really like a startup sound again.

Ok if the boot animation is on the system media file like the D1 why cant we just take a boot animation and delete it out of the system media and replace it with a new one? Do you have to ADB push it?

The boot animation is kept in the system/media folder. If you can replace this by another means, it will work. I chose to use adb push as I was already in my command line due to an application i was writing.

hey guys, sorry for the noob question, but what r u guys using to zip your finnished product? (not a flashable zip) just the zip u can push or use root expor to just place in correct spot. i know you cant use anycompression, but ive tryed everything and i must be doing something wrong. to make sure my zip methods are not adding any compression, i pulled my orig bootanimation, which zipped is 6114kb, i unzipped, then rezipped, and i keep getting dif sized zip files.. if done right it should be the exact same size right?
using the following this is what i get
ok oring is 6114kb, heres what the others do, 7zip 6124kb(bigger) PC zip client 6086kb and winrar is the closest at 6119kb
any advice would be greatly apr

Does doing ADB push require you to plug the phone into the computer in PC mode?
Also, can you change boot animations on stock ROM, or only on custom ROM?
I downloaded a bootanimation.zip file that's 480x854 pixels, the same as the D2's screen. I also looked at the default bootanimation.zip file, which is 480x480. Does the resolution matter at all, or can the phone display it either way?

No need, you can download Super Manager from Market, using file manager function and get root access to copy directly.
Have fun.

Since this is bumped anyway, for whatever reason sounds will not work on boot with the default Rom. MIUI and other Roms are necessary for this mod.

Custom Boot Animation for Non-Rooted X Users?

So I'm confused. On previous phones such as the Droid Eris and Droid 1, users were able to use custom boot animations without being rooted. All you had to do was push the new file to the boot animation location and it would over ride the old one. I really want custom boot animations on my X but am not rooted. Does anyone know a solution to this other than rooting and how to install without being rooted?
Thanks in advance,
IRM

Its really easy just put the bootanimation.zip in the tools folder in android sdk folder and then type in-
:adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
:adb reboot

Can anyone vouch for this? I don't want to brick my phone as I just received my replacement. This works for NON-ROOTED stock right?
Thanks again,
IRM

/system/media ??? really i thought its was on /data/local

Its in system/media
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

putting it in /data/local works on the X, and I read somewhere that it looks there first for the boot animation before grabbing the one in /system/media. plus to push it to /system/media you would have to mount it rw first, which would require su...

[REQUEST] Stock Nexus 4 boot animation

I failed to copy the stock one before flashing a custom ROM with a different boot animation. Would someone on the stock ROM mind pulling their bootanimation.zip from /system/media/bootanimation.zip and hosting it?
I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!

Same way you replace this one with a custom animation.
See below or download FLASHABLE ZIP at BOTTOM
Code:
Windows
Assuming you've added the android sdk platform tools to your path and you just downloaded the file
C:\Users\xxx>cd downloads
C:\Users\xxx\downloads>adb remount
remount succeeded
C:\Users\xxx\Downloads>adb shell
$ su
# mv /system/media/bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.bak
# exit
C:\Users\xxx\Downloads>adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
3327 KB/s (3557385 bytes in 1.044s)
C:\Users\xxx\Downloads>adb shell
$ su
# chmod 0644 /system/media/bootanimation.zip
Or download this CWM / TWRP zip I made and flash it.
Download flashable zip here

Could someone host the KitKat stock one here?

Bootanimation Location?? 4.4 Kitkat

i checked in System/media but there is no bootanimation.zip
i wanna change boot animation please tell me the location
THanks

I don't believe there is a boot animation included, beyond the built in AOSP "android" one.
In previous android versions you could simply drop your bootanimation.zip into /data/local and as long as the permissions are set correctly then you're good to go. Back up and give it a try.
Although if /system/media is void of a bootanimation.zip then it should work there alternately. The /data/local folder I prefer because the boot animation will persist if an update is flashed.

can`t change bootanimation on my S4 :(

hey!
I got a S4 i9515
I think its nearly the same as i9505 (LTE/4G)
ROOTED 5.0.1 + TWRP 3.0.2.0
I made myself a boot animation and it works fine, I tested it on my Xperia Z5 but the S4 doesnt accept it
the resoluion is correct
720x1280 30FPS loop
normally you have to replace the bootanimation.zip and give the permissions -rw --- ---
I did that but there was no bootanimation zip before pasting it into /system/media
there are only these files:
audio (folder)
video (folder)
battery_cover.spi
batter_error.spi
battery_low.sp
battery_temperature_error.spi
battery_temperature_limit.spi
bootsamsung.qmg
bootsamsungloop.qmg
bootsamsungminiloop.qmg
dock_error.spi
incompatible_charger.spi
lcd_density.txt
particle_intro.spi
particle_loop.spi
percentage.spi
shutdown.qmg
shutdown.qmg.cover
wave_loop.spi
wireless_left.spi
wireless_right.spi

I also tried installing the bootanimation with this app, which I always use for my Z5
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.boot.animations&hl=de
didn`t work
some people wrote that I should paste the zip into /data/local but this did not work
and changing permissions didn`t work as well
then I tried this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/themes-apps/homemade-bootanimations-collection-how-t1897969
I flashed the custom_bootanimation_44.enable zip but now the normal samung boot animation is gone and the screen is black till the S4 fully booted up

First of all, the resolution of the S4 is 1080x1920 (Full HD).
Second, TouchWiz uses a different kind of format for the boot animation, which is why yours doesn't work.
It will work on any other custom ROM based on AOSP or Lineage/CM, but no on TouchWiz.

Plus, you need to convert boot animations to Samsung's .qmg format if you want to use it on TouchWiz.
