How to Change Android Boot Animation

Customizing your Android device can be a fun and rewarding experience. One way to personalize your device is by changing the boot animation - the animation that plays when you turn on your device. In this guide, I'll walk you through the process of changing your Android boot animation using ADB (Android Debug Bridge).

Required Tools and Setup

1. First, you need to install ADB and Fastboot on your computer. You can download them from the link below:

2. Enable Developer Mode on your Android device by going to Settings, then scroll down to "About phone/tablet". Find "Build Number" and tap it 7 times until you see a message that developer mode has been enabled.

3. You'll need to root your Android device. You can use KingRoot APK for this purpose:

Connecting to Your Device

Connect to your Android device from the computer using command prompt:

Use the appropriate IP address for your device:

adb connect 192.111.1.1

Verify the connection by typing:

adb devices

If you see your device listed with "device" next to it, you've successfully connected.

ADB Connection

Transferring the Boot Animation

Now let's transfer the bootanimation.zip file to your device using the push command. The exact command will depend on where your bootanimation.zip is located on your computer:

adb push C:\user\bootanimation.zip /data/local

ADB Push Command

Note: The C:\user\bootanimation.zip part will vary depending on where your boot animation file is located on your computer.

The /data/local/ is the destination on your Android device where the boot animation file will be placed. Sometimes you may need to push it to /system/media instead.

Rebooting Your Device

After successfully transferring the bootanimation.zip file, reboot your device with:

adb reboot

Your device will restart, and you should see your new boot animation when it powers on!

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during this process:

  • Make sure your bootanimation.zip has the correct format
  • Verify that your device is properly rooted
  • Try pushing the file to /system/media instead of /data/local
  • Ensure you have the proper permissions set on the target folder
