Clean install of Whitehawkx MIUI 9.23.
Found online boot animation to my liking and applied it.
Reboot and it worked fine.
Installed Trinity ELP kernel and with installation a new boot animation comes with.
So question is how do I get the MIUI boot animation back instead of Trinity kernel boot animiation? I tried to re-apply MIUI boot animation but it doesn't work.
Thanks guys. I'm sure it's a simple fix.
Are you putting the zip in /system/media or /local/data?

Try manually changing the .zip file with Root Explorer.

When you install Morfic's kernel, it overwrites 2 files that are needed by miui to change the boot animation. You need to change them back. Files are:
/system/bin/bootanimation
/system/media/bootanimation.zip
If you've already flashed morfic's kernel, and didn't backup these files first, I'd suggest grabbing them out of the original cwm zip from miui that you installed, and putting them back.
For future reference, if you install morfic's kernel on miui and want to be able to change bootanimations in the themes section, just (before flashing the new kernel) edit the cwm zip from morfic and remove the following directories:
/system/media
/system/bin
(and everything in them).
Then flash, you get the kernel without overwriting the bootanimation files.

Thanks. Your later half advice solved it. I get a bit of Morfic's Trinity Boot for about a second then the rest is all MIUI.

Yes. The part you're still seeing is the kernel splash screen. That's part of the ramdisk. That won't affect miui's bootanimations, because it's the screen you see when the kernel is loading before miui or any other rom starts. (On CM based roms you see the lg logo at that point.)

Hey all. I have a galaxy S 4G and I already rooted it. Am currently trying to install the Bionix Frost ROM. Also some lock screens. The problem is every time I try to reboot to recovery it says installation aborted. I don't know what to do. Can someone please help me. Thank you.

Are you trying to use the stock recovery or cwm recovery

You need to use krylons final cwm. Also, to make your life easier, push the tweaks into the zip file prior to flashing. Init.d. Kg6 fugu. Updated builds prop...or just flash icbinb.

How do you push tweaks into a zip file prior to flashing?

are you trying to install lock screens from the vibrant if so it wont work
as the vibrant uses amand scripting and sgs4g uses edify
hince why your getting installation aborted
the bionix frost rom zip file. open up the cwm flashable for the tweaks and you will notice they are in a specific folder structure. the rom has the same folder structure. move the file from the cwm flashable to the rom zip file following the same folder structure and replace the file in the rom zip file. for example, if the cwm flashable has folders system/app, then move the file to the system/app folder in the rom.

that works to but i was wondering what he was trying to replace lol
so he doesnt soft brick
o i was just going to say build.prop, fugu from kg6, bootanimations and sounds, perhaps the launchers, he can build in his apps via the data folders all prior to flashing, the icbinb init.d/ext4 optimizations and so forth. nothing too crazy.
I've been trying to load a custom boot animation from Rom toolbox. Not having any luck. It has an install option that doesn't seem to work. I've gone into system media file and there are no signs of any bootanimation.zip. I've copied the custom ba into the system bin and replaced the existing file with it and all I managed to do was get a black screen rather than the stock ba. As far as I can tell I have full r/w permissions. Am I going about it wrong or is Rom toolboxes boot animation not compatible with inspire?
Thanks

After replacing bootanimation.zip are you changing permissions to R/W, R, R? Don't know if it's necessary, but I always do it that way and have never had a problem.
If you don't see bootanimation.zip in /system/media/, do you see it in /system/customize/resource? If so, put it here
Youre the man. I didn't even think to look in there. Thank you

I'm using rooted samsung galaxy s advance with DDLD4 gingerbread. The custom font instaler from ROM toolbox works but the booranim. doesn't. And where can I get a custom ROM for my phone. Please help.

Wondering if anyone can help...I love the Trinity kernel but I really don't like the splash screen and boot image it installs, and when I try to go into themes and select another boot sequence it doesnt override the Trinity one. Any ideas or help??
I am running MIUI with Trinity
Just a question but do you mean you download the boot animation and flash it through clockwork.

Download the bootanimation you want and drag the bootanimation.zip into /system/media. The splash screen i dont know how to change but i would also like to know...
using application such as Root Explorer
find or make an animation file (format ZIP) I can provide one
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7B5J2XBE
copy or paste it to /system/media , replace the old one , and set permission , i don't remember exactly what permission , but i am using 777
this is my current boot amination from cartoon "Neon Genesis Evangelion", of course you can find other ones you like, this is just for you to know it and comprehend it
remember , most important is SET PERMISSION
if you DO NOT set permission , you will be experience unstoppable reboot loop , you just keep rebooting ...only way to recover is using recovery to restore your backup or flash new ROM, maybe you can fix it via ADB in bootloader, but i don't know
any way , you better back your system up by recovery

be careful with MIUI , specially when you apply theme , if theme contains boot sound or boot animation , it may replace and overrun the default
there's also an app call ROM toolbox ( i have the paid app ) and there's many different options, one being the ability to change the boot animation ( with around 150 options ). i would definitely check it out.
sounds nice , but it will makes you feel more sense of fulfillment if you get it done by you own, don't you think
You can't lose the Trinity splash screen unless you compile the kernel yourself without it.

getting confused about which method to use.
in the OP of Viper OneS ROM, it says to use the Aroma tool, but there's a boot animation change option within the Venom Tweak app.
and this thread talks about different methods entirely, and mentions CWM flasher, but doesn't mention TWRP.
wat 2 do, wat 2 do.....

You can change your boot animation on any hboot, bc its located in the system partition. You just need root. You only need a lower hboot to change the bootsplash (ie the non animated logo before the animation).
The boot animation files depend on the ROM you are using.I think for viper its /system/customize/resources/bootanimation.zip
Just replace that file with the .zip of the bootanimation of your choice (also make sure to fix the file permissions to what they were in the original file).
RomToolbox on the PlayStore has a good BootAnimation feature (as well as many other features, a download I would recomend for any root user) and can often find the Boot animation file for you and has a lot of additional bootanimations too. Its a good tool to switch boot animations automatically (and can back up your current boot animation too)
sound bootanimation

You're on a One S device I'm assuming right cuzI've played with 4 of them with absolutely no issues?? Do NOT edit them just put them on ur sd than move them to 'System/Media' but (DO) save the original one in that area so u have it to go back to and write down the original ones 'Permissions' so u can check the proper ones off on the one u replace it with.

Should be checked off like this and best to use 'Root Explorer'

Hey all,
Long time follower but first post! Im running synergy r326 with ktoonz kernel and everything has been running mostly excellent until I did a nandroid backup from clockwork last night. All I did was the back up and now my boot animation is gone. I also tried manually putting one by renaming the zip file "bootanimation.zip" (only one .zip) and putting it in /data/local/ but no dice. Plus there isn't any file in there named bootanimation to begin with. Any ideas? Thanks eveyone!
Try looking in System/Media. That's where it is in Beans rom so maybe it's there for Synergy. Make sure you add ".bak" to the preexisting boot animation if it's there and set permissions for your new boot animation.
