I'm posting this to see if anyone has tried changing the boot animation on this ROM. I've tried to use the apps on the market and I grabbed a few from blackmart too, but I couldn't get the boot animation to change. I grabbed root explorer and moved files. I used android sdk and tried pushing them into the system folder. I can't get the damn boot animation to change. I'm using the filename "bootanimation.zip" correctly. Ummm at the moment that's all I can think of that I've tried. If anyone has any valuable input that might help me out, I'd really appreciate it. Once the revolution tool came out, I've become a flashaholic haha. I really like this evolved ROM. Mainly because of all the green in it everywhere. ....I'm straying from my point, Boot animation. Posted a shootme shot of my ROM and kernel that I flashed.
Anyone?
Thank you

Via root explorer:
Copy the boot animation you have selected to data/drm. I could be wrong since I flashed out of that rom already but I think that is where it goes. Leave it as is once pasted there. Remember the name of the old one in there, delete it, then rename the new one with the old one's name. I did because I liked this one I found of android man wearing a circus like jacket that snags the Apple logo with a cane and then he comes back on dancing. If data/drm doesn't work, do system/customize/resource.
The boot animation goes in data/local, make sure you give it full permissions also just to make sure it sticks

What do you mean give it full permission?
and I haven't touched that data/drm folder yet, so maybe that's it. I wanted to put the dancing android guy as the boot animation and the party rock anthem ringtone mp3 that I grabbed. I want that song to play while the boot animation is goin. So its like the android guy is dancing to the party rock anthem hahaha. Do I put the mp3 in that data/drm folder as well?

Well I've cleared out all the bootanimation.zip files from the phone to try and get no boot animation so I can start from there. I'm still getting the "EVOlvedRoms" boot animation.

Gahhhhhhhhh I'm getting ready to pull my hair out with this boot animation stuff. Where's this hidden "EVOlvedROM" bootanimation file???? I can have no bootanimation.zip files on the phone at all, and it still loads that boot animation for the ROM. I've put mine in...I've changed permissions ....I've done everything I can think to do. I've taken all the suggestions on this thread so far, and I still see "EVOlvedROMS" when I boot the phone up. It's a nice animation, BUT I wanna figure out how to change it and I can't. It's been days now ....any new suggestions out there? I even sent a message to the guy who posted the ROM, and he hasn't messaged me back at all

this is from that roms default.xml that is how its suppose to be named and where it goes. when using root explorer you have to make sure the permissions are rw-r-r

Please no fanboy or anything comments. I have been looking for some good animated wallpaper, but I can't find any.
If anyone is good at making them, I'd really appreciate help in contructing an animated wallpaper.
I know it requires multiple images, but this would be my first time and I wouldn't know where to start.
Maybe the COG on this site: http://scathingaccuracy.com/article.asp?guide/2008.09.22-Shepton
You could take away the skull, and edit the cog so it spins clockwise?
Ideas are welcome, maybe we can get a group of people and make a totally amazing wallpaper.
I am also up for for helping make XBOX 360, PS3, Wii, or any video game themes as well.
this would be awesome,, imagine a gears of war boot animation, or better yet a 3.0 sense lock screen,, this would be super sick,,, I've seen quit a few over at the sensation forum but none here.
I have a gow3 bootanimation that I made for the 3d I can port over and i can make a lockring if you want
now the voices are in 3d
oh heck yes,, that would be awesome,,, I will be the envy at my job,,, with gears release right around the corner this is going to be super sick...
thanks
Ok I'll port it over tonight and hook up a gears lockring
now the voices are in 3d
here is the lock ring and bootanimation.

I tried to install it with armon and rom manager and no dice.. when I try it with armon it says that no script was found and when I flash with rom manager it hangs up of about a min then it goes through the process of flashing but nothing happens when I boot up..
I like the music you put on it,, I was able to open up the zip with esfile manager and the mp3 is totally awesome , can't wait to see the video..
hope you can help me flash the boot animation file..
I am using mikroms as my custom rom hope this helps.

My rice krispies told me what to say
I did some searching on the forums. I didn't find anything, but I may have overlooked it as I'm not sure of the exact name of the splash. Does anyone happen to have it on hand? It happens to be the splash that comes on the current Sprint Lovers ROM. Its a simple "HTC quietly brilliant" animation, and I think also quite attractive.
Pointing me in the right direction is greatly appreciated.
Thanks ahead of time.

I'll link it when I get home
i want this as well. it's far better than the Sprint 4G boot splash.
is this the one your looking for, it has the HTC with the android peeking out then goes to just plain HTC with quietly brilliant under it ... check the png's inside ... this is the boot animation though not the splash ... maybe not what you are looking for ...

You need to replace the boot animation in system/media using a program like root explorer or the root option in es file explorer. You may have to search in order to find the existing file because there are a couple of other places it could be in the system.

Mine is in /system/customize/resource ... I think in CM it might be in /system/media ... correct instructions though, just use root explorere to copy and paste it. For the other question about the mp3 with the sound SPC_animation_final.mp3 is in the same folder, you can make any 20 second mp3 then remane it to the above and put that in with root explorer and poof you have sound, sorry I dont have the one that came with this. just replacing the bootanimation will leave you with the stock sprint sound. You can also delete the spc_animation. mp3 and get the animation without sound.

Hi all,
I looked and tried for a while now, but I'm not able to change my boot animation on the COS ICS by roalex. A bootanimation.zip stored in system/media and/or in data/local doesn't work for me. I'm shure it changed in general in ICS. Can anybody help me please to find a way to change my boot animation?
Some ICS threads recommend to store in system/customize/resource, but I don't have a customize file.
For all changes I use root explorer.
Thanks and have a nice day!
What do you mean with "does not work"? Is any bootanimation shown or do you just get a black screen? Did you make your named it correctly and really replaced the old bootanimation?
Thanks for your answer
The bootscreen in general works. In settings I can enable and disable boot animation. When I enable boot, then the old school android boot animation is showed. I think this is maybe a fallback mode, when there is no bootanimation.zip. But I don't know.
When I look into /system/media and /data/local after a fresh installation, then there is no bootanimation.zip. Maybe the builder of this ROM has diasabled custom boot images to speed up the device (it is indeed very fast).
And because he has disabled boot animation per default, I'm not able to set up my own.
It's not the first time I created my own animation, so I'm shure it works at least in gingerbread.
My new question should be now, how to enable bootanimation in this special case, when it is disabled by default?
I suggest, that this is no big deal, when this doesn't work on this rom. I can live without a nice boot animation. It's more for my general comprehension, how android is working.

I know the issue......install disk usage and tell me size of your system partition free space, then tell the size of bootanimation.....it always happens when space not enough.....Android tries to write your file, and if no space, it just shows.that file is written.....please check free space and tell.....

Yeah, you can do this. I use the Google Edition HTC One boot animation. Just Google it and you can find the file. Simply rename it bootanimation.zip and place it in /system/media. Make sure you replace the bootanimation.zip currently in there to something else such as bootanimation.bak. You might have to change permissions to rw-r-r as well.
my /system/media doesn't have an existing bootanimation.zip. Nevertheless I placed that file in that location, set permissions and the stock Verizon animation still showed. Now I'm stumped. Pulled the file from HERE, trying both a manual addition as well as flashing the flashable zip provided.

Are you running a Sense rom? If so, the boot animations are located in System-Customize-Resource. There are two that you need to replace, one for booting up, vzw_bootup.zip, and one for shutting down, hTC_downamination.zip.

Hmm... I did this and for some reason the boot animation wasn't replaced but the down animation works fine. Side note, does the boot sound in that folder play for anyone else?
HTC One s-off
On the stock HTC ROM, to change the boot animation, you have to change two files in 'system/customize/resource/' : "htc_bootup_one.zip" and "vzw_bootup.zip" (capitalization matters). They both have to be replaced with fully functional boot animations. When I changed mine, it wouldn't work if I just changed one or the other, I had to change both.
On the stock HTC ROM, to change your down animation, you have to replace "hTC_downanimation.zip" (capitalization matters) in '/system/customize/resource/' with a functioning down animation.
On custom ROMS, you have to look to find where it's at. Sometimes it's in 'system/media' named "bootanimation.zip", sometimes it's not. Remember, it has to be a functioning replacement, otherwise it will show the stock ANDROID boot animation.

Actually, you don't have to replace the htc_bootup_one.zip. You can rename it to .bak and replace or do the same to the vzw_bootup.zip and it will work. I actually removed my htc_bootup_one.zip and replaced the vzw one and everything works fine. Probably helps that the boot up animation I use was made for the One variants that don't have anything to do with Verizon

That's very odd. Now that I try it without the "htc_bootup_one.zip", it works, but it didn't when I originally replaced it. Very, very odd.
I grabbed a flashable boot animation (including audio) from the HTC One section and was finally able to get the animation to work after messing with the .xml file. Tried to throw the audio in with it and couldn't get it to work...I'm on Bonestock and noticed there wasn't any audio with the regular boot animation...could it be the Rom? Volume is up btw.
To get a better idea of what I did I'll include the tread. I wasn't able to flash, so I had to manually replace/rename the files in my system/customize/resource folder and then change the name for the boot animation in the .xml file. I tried to follow the steps to get the audio file included as well, but it just reverted to a basic android boot animation when I attempted that.

If I recall correctly, there is an option in the XML file that tells it not to play audio when it's not the first time you set up the phone, meaning it only plays on initial setup. You need to change that setting to play every time. I don't want audio on my boot animations, so I leave it alone.

Add this code to the XML file.
Code:
audio="/system/customize/resource/MP3_file_name_here.mp3"
This is assuming the sound you want is located in the 'resource' folder. If not, give the correct path and filename. Hope this works for you.

I had tried that like it said in the OP, but for some reason when I added that in there it changed the boot animation completely and still with no audio. Ah well, it's probably more convenient with out it.

One last question, if you don't mind. I recreated the whole thing so that it'd be the resolution of the phone. The only thing I changed was the pixel dimensions in your txt file. Now, however, the boot up is just a blank screen. Any chance you may know what's wrong with the attached one? Is 1.83mb to big for a boot animation?
You zipped the whole folder... As in when I open the zip there is a folder called bootanimation... The part0 folder and the desc.txt should be at the root of the zip
