[Q] Missing boot animation

So I've been using gtg's infused 2.2.3 with bedwa's infusion kernel and mattedblues theme when one day I reboot my phone and no boot animation. All I get is the initial Samsung splash screen and lockscreen.
I've navigated to /system/media using root explorer and see the "bootanimation.zip" there and I even tried changing it to "sanim.zip" and still no boot animation either way.
I think I may be missing a file in /system/media but I can't figure out what it might be.
Any ideas?

Change the file permissions to rwr-r-
Meaning read/write for owner, and read only for group and everyone

Changed permissions but still no boot animation.

Certain kernels have it disabled. Try reflashing bedwa's kernel.

Maybe your bootanimation binary has been corrupted. Have you tried flashing Hellraiser(I know you dont need it for the rom ur on). It worked for me,when mine went bye-bye. My 2 cents.
Keep the change.Lol
I'm not a developer but I try to play one on XDA. DlevROM Yo!

Does Infusion-GB have bootanim support? I'm not sure if it does.

I have the Infusion GB kernel and I have bootanimation on DlevROM.

Why do you even want one? It just lengthens your boot time.
I remove mine on purpose.

FALSE. It starts and runs in the background as other services are loading. Once the last service is started, it then exits. It does nothing to add to your boot time. You will have to wait for all those services to start to have a working phone in the first place anyway, why not make the time go by with some animation?

I have the same issue. Infused 2.2.3 with infusion gb kernel. Otherwise phone is unstoppable and amazingly badass...want a bootanimation though.

May be a silly question but have you recently installed any init.d scripts that disable the bootanimation? I know one version of the 99tweaks is specifically no bootanimation and others may do so as well without calling them out. You might check the files in your init.d for anything that mentions "boot animation" or "bootanimation". See if something has forced it off.

Custom boot animations?

How.does.one go about changing the boot animations on the skyrocket?
On my last device (atrix ) it was as simple as dropping your bootanimation.zip in /system/media and rebooting.
Will someone please enlighten me here?

Really no one??
I see that custom kernels have custom animations. Surely someone around here knows.

you are rite its system>media and paste it there. But the file name should be sanim.zip unless u are using cm7.

Thanks appdroid. I looked in /system/media again and all I see area bunch of .qmg files
The only relevant one I see is bootsamsung.qmg
I'm confused since I don't see sanim.zip
I'm using faux.kernel which has a custom boot animation so wouldn't I see sanim.zip there??
I'm on quickwiz rom btw but it was the same on stock
Edit....
NM it worked! Thx appdroid

Faux Kernel supports custom bootanimation, which means if you go and download a bootanimation from somewhere, rename it sanim.zip, and put it in system/media then your skyrocket will boot with that animation.

Will this kernel support changing boot animation?
Hey appdroid,
After reading a ton of your posts re: rooting guides, I upgraded to ICS and rooted my skyrocket. THANKS A MILLION!! BTW, I'm a very green noob, so...
Anyhow,
My kernel says: 3.0.8-perf-i727UCALC4-CL240689 [email protected] #1
Do not have any idea what exactly that means, but I rooted using CWM and superuser.
I would love to get rid of the AT&T boot animation. I downloaded ES File Explorer and am unable to find the media folder?
Off the top of your head, will my kernel supposrt changing the boot animation
and
What am I missing re: file manager finding the media folder?
Thanks

kinda on topic here, does the skyrocket have the att bootloader and kernel splashes like the cappy did? i ask because i just ordered a skyrocket and want to do as much research as possible and felt like piggy backing off his post since my question isnt worthy of its own thread lol.

You can change the bootanimation if you have flashed mohan or romracers ics kernel.
And my kernel info says the same(im on romracer) but romracers kernel is basically stock with a few tweaks so make sure you flash kernel before trying

Yes it does but its easily changed. I usually just find a bootanimation that is cwm flashable. Thats the easy way for me. As i said before one of the two kernels need to be flashed

# Plagiarizing due to crappy writing ability, Thanks in advance, Mohan!
STANDARD DISCLAIMER
As usual, not responsible if flashing this causes any issues. All I can say is I have verified it to be working on my device running the new leak.
Thanks to DesignGears and the "Unknown Source" of course for the leak, this obviously wouldn't be possible without them.
Here is the stock boot.img that is CWM flashable. Usual things that are done:

Seanszcreams' newest sky ics no flash/Java

I used to be on NexusMod GB 2.3.6 and i could watch flash videos fine on the browser.
Just today i flashed sean's new sky ics ROM and all flash videos are replaced by the blue Lego-looking thing identifying no flash support.
Anyone else using his ROM having this problem?

depending of the browser you are using you need to active the option in settings. If you use chrome Flash is not supported :-(

Make sure adobe flashplayer is installed

I usually use dolphin browser and it still didn't work after I checked that flash was on.
Then I went to the stock browser, still no flash.

Do you have adobe flash installed?

+1 (or 2) to making sure flash is installed. Whenever I flash it shows up as an update in the store. Happens even if I run a batch restore from TiBu.

That fixed the issue, thanks a bunch guys! however, I just discovered another problem I have with the ROM and that is having no data >_>.
Just great.

Access Point Names - Tells your phone how to access data.
You really have to read Sean's post carefully to install the rom correctly. ...It's all there, so you might want to read up.
I'm a noob too but it's like you're following a recipe to bake a cake but didn't read the part about putting it into the oven. Then you question why the cake isn't cooked.

The way you related flashing a ROM to baking a cake. Genius. Absolutely genius.
Alright will do, and I'll let you know how the cake turns out.

Just follow the directions to letter, and you have no problems.

Update:
Both the flash video and the data problem are both fixed, thanks a bunch you guys.

* The stock kernel from Rogers Official Release UXUMA7 Samsung TouchWiz (4.1.2) which is "secured", which mean certain adb operations will not be accessible. This boot image has the ramdisk changes to allow such privileged functions.
* Added init script support. Scripts must be placed in "/system/etc/init.d" and have execute
permissions and owned by root. NOTE: this requires busybox to be installed.
* ro.debuggable is enabled by default.
* devs: The ROMS post qcom boot script is disabled (as it is incorporated in the ramdisk)

It is not hard. Once, you figure out the workflow (which has been pretty much the same), you automate it (of course once in a while sammy throws in a monkey wrench)...
