HiJust thought i would post this up for everyone to see.. I take no credit.. But it does work on our phones..
All credit to tntdroid from android central forums..
Also Big thanks to irieme for fixing it to work at 480x800, it looks perfect now thx!
bootanimation.zip for adding to system/media or data/local
and CWM flashable zip which will add it to system/media for you...
Make sure you have moved/deleted any other custom boot animation you had on your phone before..
If you want to go back to stock then just delete/move the bootanimation.zip file from the folder you put it in and you will be back at stock.
Simples!
how about posting a video or GIF how it looks ?

Like that but on our phones. ;-)
Also if you don't like it you can always delete the bootanimation.zip and return to samsung default boot screen.

no copy to system/media or data/local with root explorer..
if you want to flash it with cwm you need to make the update.zip using one you already have.. and replace the file that it was previously used for with the bootanimation.zip in either the system/media folder or data/local.
Make sense?
Works like a charm. Thank you very much-

He may have put his own one in data/local if you see a bootanimation.zip in there move it to your SD card incase you want to use it again.
Then the honey one in system/media should work hopefully.

In /data/local there's a "tmp" named folder and inside it there's a .lck file.
In /system/media there's also the shutdown animation in a folder, but it shouldn't affect this boot animation I think, or does it?
It's so wonderful !!!

Now it works.. it just had something to do with me moving the bootanimation.zip to /system/media in the first place.
Maybe because it didn't replace the excisting file but it renamed itself.
Then I deleted the old bootanimation and renamed the new one.
Now that I deleted all the zip's and then moved the animation, it works perfectly, thanks!

Putting the file in that location should do the trick IF you are running a kernel that has boot animations enabled. Samsung uses some .qmg format for their boot animations but thankfully the wonderful devs here have enabled the use of bootanimation.zip to work.
@dddsj, you might not have the right kind of kernel.
@rsegura77, I thought Synergy had this enabled so I don't know what to tell you. Was there and existing bootanimation.zip in that folder and if so did you rename it or move it to another lcoation prior to copying the new zip there?

You need a kernel that supports bootanimation.zip. Using root explorer, go to system/media and move old bootanimation.zip to sd card. Place new file in system/media and reboot. That's it! Just make sure that any boot animation you try is renamed to bootanimation.zip or it won't work

Not sure if Bullet supports it but there is no harm in trying. Don't replace the existing .qmg files. Just copy bootanimation.zip to that directory. If bullet supports it then you'll have a new animation and if not then you'll see the one you currently have. It shouldn't hurt anything to put the zip in there even if your kernel doesn't support it.
All I did was delete the old bootanimation.zip and pasted the new file in the same place but the only boot, animation I see is the default that comes with zombie rom I did notice I have the following files bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.any

I honestly don't understand why Android "kills" the Apple? I could understand Android to WM, but iOS and Android are derived from unix, which technically makes them "cousin" OS's.

Hey guys, I flashed the new Malice Rom (3/20/12), and I was wondering how I can switch the zombie boot animation. I know where to put the zip file, (/system/media) Somehow I cannot seem to get other ones to work. I made sure the replacement files mirror the original. Do I need to flash the entire file as opposed to just replacing the files using root explorer? Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I renamed it to bootanimation.zip, etc.
Copy and then Change permision file in root explorer rw-r-r

Well, I tried a couple other ones, and no dice. Could it be that the rom itself only allows that one(or none)?
Download rom toolbox and get the boot animations from there. By far the easiest way.

Hi All,
Here's how to change the boot animation for the device. Do at your own risk. I've attached the Cyanogenmod boot animation for starters.
Boot Animation
1. Using your file manager browse to system > media
2. You will see a file called bootanimation.zip and varients. Rename it to bootanimation.bak and add .bak to all the others as well.
3. Browse to your sdcard to the location of your new boot animation
4. Rename your new boot animation to bootanimation.zip if it isn't already
5. Copy the new boot animation to system > media
6. Give the new boot animate all the permissions.
7. Reboot and Enjoy
Cyanogenmod boot animation
Anyone tried it out yet?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
There's a few apps in the market that have a bunch of boot animation options. They're all sort of consolidated, I wonder if they're safe
Do you have to be rooted or unlocked to attempt?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
You will have to be rooted, not sure about unlocked. I"m guessing OP didn't actually bother to look at the files though. There are 3 boot animations in the folder. Assuming you are on sprint, you can delete bootanimation_boost.zip. The bootanimation.zip runs before the bootanimation_sprint.zip runs. I don't know if deleting one would cause it to revert to running the other one twice or longer but it probably wouldn't hurt anything to test. The bootanimation.zip is the LG logo animation and the bootanimation_sprint.zip is the sprint logo animation. I would guess that you could customize each of these if you gave them the same name, or maybe if you deleted the sprint one, the other bootanimation.zip would run longer. I don't have time to test it now...
Are the third party boot animation apps safe?

If by safe you mean it won't brick it, then yes they are. They should work too.

Tried a few of those boot animation switchers. No dice
Just fyi for anyone who tried flash this, it isn't flashable, it just contains all the different dimensions.
Ok so I see the boost file. The sprint file. And the regular one. I changed it to .Bak and pasted the new one. But no dice
This will not work for the sprint att and boost versions i will use sprint for example...
You're mostly right however if you on one of the named providers above you must rename the old boot animation from bootanimation_sprint.zip to
bootanimation_sprint.bak then rename the file bootanimation.zip to bootanimation_sprint.zip i did this to restore the stock lg boot animation that was in there already i don't see why this would not work with other boot animation files
Enjoy

The "boot animations" application from play store works perfectly if you change "install location" in preferences to system/media and the preset file name in preferences to "bootanimation_sprint.zip". You can then just click install on any animation you like.

Not working for me, for whatever reason. Trying to use my own boot animation, and all I get is a black screen.This is my animation if perhaps you want to test if I've done something wrong. All I did was rename the bootanimation_sprint.zip into .bak and place that file in there instead. It should work, but it isn't.
just loaded yours up and just got a black screen, so i think its the actual animation thats messed up
I cannot get it to work either

Hmm, guess I'll look into why the animation isn't working. Even made it from scratch and then using boot animation factory.
Epic has a guide that works better.
Also, to make it work you need to change the permissions of the new file.

Tried it with his guide and changed the permissions as well. I'm able to get stock JB to load on mine, it's just my boot animation that fails to work for some reason. I recreated it again from scratch and still don't really know what's wrong with it. Using 8bit color, stock compression, everything seems just fine; and yet it isn't. Maybe I'll take this up to the boot animation tutorial thread to see if anyone there can help me.
Edit: Nevermind, it was something extremely trivial that I should have noticed that just slipped by me. The folder name had a space in it, which pretty much made it useless. Fixed by removing the spaces.
So I may be completely blind but I've been looking around and can't seem to find a thread that works for changing bootanimation on the htc one. I've tried replacing bootanimation and also bootanimation and downanimation but I never have permissions to do so even with root access. I'm currently on EclipticOne 4.4. I appreciate any help or direction to the proper thread, thanks!

Not sure if this is what your looking for, but I use this Matrix themed one sometimes. You can just flash the zip in recovery. The one you download depends on how you bootanimation file is named, but the instructions explain that.

2.Go to the root of your system files.
3.Look for folder labeled "System" go into that.
4.Find folder labeled "customize" go into that

For the Verizon One the file name will actually be either hTC_bootup_one.zip or bootanimation.zip depending on the ROM (one of those two will be in that location). EclipticOne 4.4 uses the filename bootanimation.zip.
Edit: If the ROM you're using still has the stock Verizon boot animation running, vzw_bootup would be in there.

Try using Root Browser. You should be able to with that.
And just to be safe, just add .bak to the current boot animation.zip. That way you can simply revert back in case the one you choose doesn't work.
