[bootanimation] Stewie's Sexy Party (Family Guy)

[fish1552]

I always tell people to never use /system/media for boot animations. This is something that was taught to me a long while back by a guy MotoCache1 on Droid forums. The reason is because the Android system looks in 2 places for animations - 1) /data/local and if it doesn't see anything there, it defaults to the /system/media where the original one is placed.
He suggested using the /data/local one for custom ones because then all you need to do to go back to "stock" is delete the ones in /data/local and you are G2G - it defaults back to /system/media. Otherwise, you have a large number of people bombarding forums asking the inevitable question: "Oh, HELP! I need the original/stock boot animation, so I can return my <insert device here>. I did a factory reset but it didn't change the boot animation."

Not sure why it stays stock for you, but I can guarantee if you put it in /data/local, it won't be an issue.

[Pizentu]

File Manager HD

If you open up file manager, it should default to the "/" folder where you can see:
acct
cache
config
d
data
dev
etc
...
sbin
sdcard
sys
system

Just open the data folder, then inside that, open up local. The /data/local is the path. Sort of like "C:/program files/Microsoft/Office 11/"

[Pharoah]

es file explorer can work like root explorer if you need one.

[Pizentu]

I figured it out. I had to allow root explorer in the settings of File Manager HD.

[Sardo Numspa]

yeah, /data/local is the place to be for bootanimations.
