I installed Boot Animation Changer and i have checked the other 4 posts. But i un-installed it and went back to changing the boot animation manually. Except the /system/media/bootanimation.zip is not been used upon booting. i think the program has told the phone to look elsewhere for the animation file and i cannot find where the phone is looking for the animation file. Any help will be great.

I cannot for the life of me get custom boot animations to work. I'm rooted. using root explorer i've used every tutorial on the internet! i'm on an Motorola Milestone running GOT 2.2 rom.
I put the "bootanimation.zip" on my SD card, i then move it to system/BIN and replace my original boot animation. Reboot the phone and nothing. just about 10 seconds or so of the Motorola "M" logo. I've tried everything. putting the files in there unzipped. The only thing that looks a bit odd to me is that the original "bootanimation" file's icon is just a plain white icon. but when ever i move the new bootanimation file over it shows up as a zip file. this has to have something to do with it? i also screwed around with the permissions so that the new bootanimations permissions matched the old one. anyone have any idea what i'm doing wrong here?
I cannot find an answer regarding this and I think my post was deleted from another thread regarding the boot animation.
Does anybody know if we can disable the boot animation on the Droid Charge?
I was easily able to disable the boot sound by renaming the poweron.wav sound file to poweron.wav.bak with Root Explorer, and it worked like a charm.
I noticed the .qmg files for the boot animation but I didn't want to bootloop the phone by renaming them because I don't really know what I'm doing.
Does anybody know a safe way to disabling the boot animation?
Thanks!
As far as I know, deleting the boot ani qmg file won't bootloop the phone and it will just stop the animation from happening. The bootanimation binary will run, not find the file, and exit, but the boot process should continue normally. It'd be the same as if you were using bootanimation.zip files and just removed the zip, you'd get basically nothing.
Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a go and report back!
EDIT: Renaming bootsamsung.qmg to bootsamsung.qmg.bak in sytem/media with rootexplorer worked perfectly. Maybe I'm tripping, but it seems like it boots up faster. Nice!
Hi - newbie UOT Kitchen cook here. I tried to bake a replacement boot animation (to go along with the tiny battery icon I made when is in the themes forum), but I don't think I selected boot animation location correctly. Suggestions, please? Thanks.
The stock kernel has /system/bin/bootanimation disabled, instead using samsungani. You would need to re-pack the kernel initramfs to use bootanimation -
However, the bootanimation binary on AT&T Skyrocket does not stop the animation after the boot completes, looping forever instead. This is on my to-do list to fix.
Also, the bootanimation binary was modified by samsung - it looks in /system/media/sanim.zip rather than /system/media/bootanimation.zip
Yipes - OK, think I'll stay away from this mod then for the time being. Thanks!
Yeah, I'd really like to get rid of the Rogers animations too. The shutdown one was easy (it's in /system/media/video/shutdown/), but the startup animation is a little more challenging.
I have the Nexus 5, running CyanogenMod
I was trying to replace the boot animation, which I've done before, but the animation I made won't load whenever I boot the phone
I exported the animation into part0 and part1 as numbered .png files, and the desc.txt file contains the correct dimensions and instructions to play the animation
Whenever I load it into the system/media directory and edit the permissions to allow the phone to read the file, it doesn't work. I've tried everything I could think of, but I was wondering if anybody had any ideas for what could be wrong here that's preventing the phone from reading the boot animation
Thanks!
try sticking it into /data/local/ with and without changing permissions.
Hello! Earlier I installed the Xperia X boot animation by replacing the original bootanimation.zip with it, I also put the permissions to rw r r, however the boot animation didn't change at all! The file has been replaced but when I reboot, the phone shows the original one.
Any idea about that?
