[Guest sedj]

From a chinese custom rom , i cant find the thread posted here so here it is for anyone.

Use root explorer or ES file explorer and replace bootanimation.zip with this in system/media directory, it does need renaming and you may wish to make a backup.

no worky brother.

I couldnt find bootanimation.zip or bootanimation in system/media

I did find bootanimation and bootanimationex in system/bin

any clues ??

[Guest Davidoff59]

System/media is probably it. Not sure as there are 4 references to boot animation.

[Guest luvvt]

well lets see if we can nut this out,

In an attempt to change the bootanimation (from the standard andriod lettering), I replaced the bootanimation & bootanimationex from system/bin with copies extracted from earlier cwm backups of previous ics roms.

Do you think that worked ...................Nada

Can somone please enlighten the masses on the guru's secrets

[Guest Davidoff59]

did it still boot though?

[Guest Mtman1]

Try putting it in data\local , some roms are data\local optimised, so it checks there first

[Guest Davidoff59]

done, I just installed it with rom toolbox by jrummy. Its working now

[Guest Davidoff59]

I think Mtman is correct as that's where mine was placed

[Guest Faelon]

yep, /data/local worked for me

[Guest sedj]

Sorry guys, it varies from rom to rom this was the location under B936.

Also you may need to disable fast boot for it to take effect.

just install it with ROM manager.

B934:

Goto: cust/hw/normal/media.

Then backup original and rename the S3bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip and replace the original with the one you just renamed.

Not too bad I like the dancing space robot :D .
