Since there isn't an "official" section for the kyocera rise, I hope that this is an appropriate place to put this post.
Anyway, I was able to create two android boot animations for the kyocera rise. Both of them are vocaloid and I will also attach a copy of the original boot animation and audio as a backup.
NOTE! YOU MUST BE ROOTED IN ORDER TO CHANGE YOUR BOOT ANIMATION!
NOTE! These boot animations will work on other devices but it will only show the animation at a resolution of 340x480. Meaning if the screen resolution is bigger than the animation resolution, it will center the image and it will have a black border around the animation. The opposite is also true, if the screen resolution is smaller than the animation resolution, it will crop out the image.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR DEFAULT BOOTLOADER
Original Virgin Mobile Boot Animation
Note! To remove the default boot animation audio, go into "/system/media/audio/boot" and find "BoltAnimations.mp3". Delete or change the extension to remove the boot animation audio.
