CM 10 Boot Animation, how to install?

I'm sure some of you have seen the video for the new CM10 Boot animation:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogp9f4_yEoU
I WANT IT! But when I try to flash the file found in CM10ZipSaves/Vertical/480 CWM Recovery gives me "Installation Aborted."
Halp anyone?

Not a flashable zip. You have to replace the bootanimation.zip found in /system/media by yours. Be sure to name it the same and overwrite it.
www.google.com is also a very good help source. I used the keywords "replace boot animation android" to find that in 0.21 seconds.

Cool your jets man, it took me a bit longer than that. Plus there's no new thread about the new CM10 boot animation so THERE!

I followed all the instructions and tried with both the 800 and 480 animations, but when the phone boots up it just shows a stock animation of the android logo...
anyone know why this might be?
I replaced both the animation in system/media and data/local

I've never tried putting anything in data/local. Try just system/media.

Yea, at first I tried just system/media and that didn't work and some article said try data/local as a solution - which also did not work :/

Putting the bootanimation.zip in /data/local should work. Be sure to change its permissions to 0755 or rwxr-xr-x.

Ah, perfect! Thank you so much!

fyi i created/(modified) a flashable zip for our ns4(g) works on my crespo4g ymmv no warranties no guarantees

Vertical 480 from the zip file in the youtube video worked for me, just changed permissions. Still using CM9 though, just didn't like the boot animation.

[boot animation] Modded Galaxy Nexus Intro animation with note 10.1 logo

You have probably seen this boot animation before, but this one is made from scratch.
I wasn't satisfied with the image quality of other versions and didn't like the fact that all of them have Nexus logo at the end, so I used original 1080p video as base and added Note 10.1 logo transition at the end.
You can find the original video here.
I converted first part of animation and resided frames to 1280x800 and made custom ending to be more convenient for Note 10.1.
Downloads:
HQ version
jpg quality: 100%
size: 14MB
Optimized version
jpg quality: 80%
size: 7.48MB
Version with original sound coming soon. I need to extract and convert audio first.
Flash over CWM.
If you ROM doesn't support custom boot animation, you need to flash Bootanimation4U form this thread first.
All credits goes to the author(s) of the original animation that I just adopted!
If this violates any copyright of the author(s) of original animation, please let me know and I will remove it.
I used original 1080p video as base and I didn't use any part of any similar boot animation.
Change log:
2013-01-23 - Initial HQ version and optimized version published

So +wrp not ok?

I am not sure how package for TWRP should look since I do not use it. If package format is same I think that there is no reason for this one not to work.
In worst case, you can extract bootanimation.zip from package and put it to your /system/media/. File need to have 644 (rw-r--r--) permissions.

Thanks job well done even without sound.

Hi I installed this over CWM but nothing changed.. Do I have to do something else to work this..?? Iam on TundraRom and it supports custom bootanimations so why it is not working for me..??

If any other custom boot animation work on your device, there is no reason for this one to fail.
I see in list of features of Tundra ROM v.2.0 [UEUCMA3] (which is released today), that it have custom boot animation enabled. I do not know if this is new feature or not.
If you see an original boot animation during boot that is almost sure sign that your ROM do not support custom boot animations.
ROM with support for custom boot animation, when there is no /system/media/bootanimation.zip present, or if that file have wrong permissions (less then 644) you should see default Android animation. To be sure, check if you have /system/bin/bootanimation and /system/bin/samsungani.
If you do not have them, flash Bootanimation4U. Check first post for link to if you need it.
If you have them, check if you have /system/media/bootanimation.zip. It needs to have at least 644 permission (rw-r--r--).

hhmm this is frustrating.. i'm quite sure i enabled custom bootanimation support on dsixda's kitchen... but ValenteL confirmed that he needed to use bootanim4u to make it work.......... darn......... i'll just remove the custom bootanim support in my OP just to avoid confusion... will also check my files here...
and i'll try this bootanim just to make sure..

That is strange. Those permissions are good!
Bootanimation4U puts bootanimation and samsungani from the archive in /system/bin folder and sets permissions to 755.
What is the content of /system/bin/samsungani?
I also hope that you made a typo and that last file is actually /system/media/bootanimation.zip

Now I am starting to suspect that one of those two files (/system/bin/bootanimation or /system/bin/samsungani) is broken in your ROM, since chabasse confirmed that permissions are good.

This starts to be strange even more.
I suggest you to delete /system/media/bootanimation.zip and to reboot your device.
Do you have default Android animation (Android written in green letters) on boot?
If you do not have it, something is wrong with custom boot animation support.

Nope.. Why.. How..??

[Q] Bootanimation isnt working

Hi,
first of all: english is not my main language so pls be gentle! I also hate writing capital letters, so deal with it or gtfo
I'm using a Google Nexus 5 (big surprise) which is rooted. As far as I know boot animations belong into /system/media and are supposed to be an uncompressed zip.
The content should lool like this:
a folder called part0 (and if u want many more part1, part2 etc.) which contains pictures which should be called sth. like 001.png/jpg
a file called "desc.txt" which contains resolution, fps and how often which folder should be played, looks sth like this: "270 480 20p 0 0 part0"
I found a gif on 9gag (9gag.com/gag/azbG7yN) which I tryd getting into a boot animation. I resized all pictures to one size and did everything I could but didnt get it working.
A few hours later i found this Thread on reddit (reddit.com/r/jailbreak/comments/1wc9qw/mutha****in_request_fulfilled_to_whoever_wanted/cf0npe4) where u can find this gif (i.imgur.com/neYbN4t.gif) and even a .zip (dropbox.com/s/8efy1j7hzuzev2s/GlitchyAndroid.zip) which contains alle the single pictures. I tryd again making a working animation but it looks like I'm to damn stupid for it, I will upload my try and hopefilly someone can tell me where my goddamn mistake is.
Sincerly,
DaPutzy
EDIT: I forgot to say that I downloaded other animations which worked correctly, so its definitely my fault!

Did you set the files permissions to rw-r-r
Edit, not sure what the animation is supposed to be bit it's just "Google"

How about this?
EDIT: Now im getting a white screen followed by a black one,.. then booting is done.
PS: Nexus 5 got a 1080x1920 screen, but can I use every pixel while booting?
EDIT: I used Boot Animation Factory (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678540) this time and it says "Your boot animation contains frames that have indexed colors...." I understand the meaning of this but i have to google how I can change this. At least i got a real Error message for the first time
Common mistakes that people make:
-Wrong compression method: you MUST set the compression method to Store!
-Missing empty line at the end of the desc.txt file: an empty line is needed! Otherwise, the boot animation won't work!
-Frames drawn in wrong color mode: you MUST draw your frames in RGB 8bit or RGB 16bit COLOR MODE!

[Q] Why is my boot animation now working?????

hey
so i am trying to create my first boot animation, and have done everything according to the guide, well i think i have at least, and have tried so many different things i am kinda out of ideas. so please if someone can tell me what i am doing wrong i would really appreciate it a lot.
so this is basically what i have tried: tried running only the "part0" folder with one pic inside, it worked but then as soon as added in the "part1" it didnt. also tried using a boot animation that works and putting just my pics in the folders, didnt work. also changed the "c" to "p" and vice versa and it didnt work. so to be honest i have no more ideas:/
i am doing it for my samsung s5830i.
this is the boot animation i made View attachment bootanimation.zip
would really really appreciate it if somone could help.

Don't know what is exactly you problem but here are somethings which you should remeber while creating bootanimation.
1. First and most important, always choose "store" or "none " compression method while which actually means there should be no compression. If you choose even 1% compression you will get error (blank screen )
2. Always remember to leave last line of "desc.txt" blank.
3. P or C doesn't matter. It only tells about instruction.
4. Only 1 part is sufficient but if you have more than 1, dont forget about to give instructions about it in desc.txt
5. Set permission to rw-r-r- of bootanimation.zip
6. in "desc.txt", each instruction should be on new line.
Try these. I will see your bootanimation.zip file and will tell you.

Yes, You have to leave last line blank.
I don't know which file explorer you use. I use root explorer.
When you paste bootanimation.zip in system>media folder, just press on it for 2-3 seconds, menu will appear on which you will see an option named "permissions". Open it and tick as shown in image attached. Then press ok. Done!
Press thank if i helped!

You were correct. Its really pissing me off too!
btw i forgot to mention you one important thing. When you compress all the zip files, choose "store" or "none" compression. It basically means 0% compression. Hope you have done this.
If not, just try with original files as i dont have them. Remember dont use extracted/compressed files, use original size files. Hope you have not deleted them.
If you cant find option of store in your zip archiver, use 7-zip and zip them.
If it still fails, let me know. We will start again from scratch.

Yeah u mentioned about the compression. And yes I have just zipped to store. So it should work. But yes I still have original files. Do u want me to upload the original files to?
Btw I really appreciate your help and effort

IT WORKED BRO! :victory:
I just extracted all your images. Resized all of them to 240x320 (my screen size). Also I replaced c with p in desc.txt (because 'c' only supports for jellybean onwards, I am on gingerbread). Then I compressed them and placed in system > media, and changed permission. And rebooted. And BOOM! It worked.
I saw your image size 321x480. I think you should resize all of them to 320x480. Maybe that is causing problem.
P.S. I used this tool to resize multiple images at once.Online Batch resize

What really!!!! That's so awesome!!!! Ok well I will try it and let u know....I really hope it works.

Last problem is that i dont know how yours does and mine doesnt, the only thing i can think of is the app you used to zip and change permissions. would you mind telling me which one, then i can also make other ones.

Ok so i found the problem. When i was using es viewer for some reason it was changing the format of the .txt file. so i downloaded aonther one and boom it works. so now i have made two bootanimations so far thanks for all the help

[SOLVED] bootanimation replacement results in a blank boot screen, fix?

Update: I found the bootanimation.zip file, and replaced it with a custom animation file. However, that resulted in a blank screen with the Android logo, not the new boot animation.
Then, I tried changing the "desc" text file, the number of frames in the new animation, and the file names to match the old boot animation file, but nothing's working. (Now its just a blank screen on boot, the Android logo is now gone.)
Does anyone have a solution to this?
_________________________________
(Please bear with the long post.)
I'm using the Honor 6x (BLN-L24) running Android 7.0.
So, I'm trying to replace the default bootanimation.zip file with a custom one so that I can have a custom animation on boot.
The problem is, I can't locate where the original bootanimation file is located.
I tried looking where the posts I read about told me to look: "/system/media" but it wasn't there. The only files present in that folder were audio files.
Obviously, moving the custom bootanimation.zip file there (in "/system/media") didn't work.
Then, I tried moving the custom animation file into "/data/local" but that didn't work either.
Finally, I just searched the entire system using root explorer and the only file I found was a "bootanimation" file in "/system/bin" that didn't have any label after it, (ie, ".zip, .png, etc.)
Replacing that file with the custom zip file caused my device to not have a boot animation at all, just a blank screen. It probably wasn't the right file. (I "replaced" that file by renaming it to "bootanimation.bak")
Btw, when I tried opening that file, all I got were a bunch of scrambled symbols and letters.
Does anyone have a solution on how I could possibly change my boot animation/ find the original boot animation file? I think I'm missing something here.
(My phone is rooted.)

I guess it's due to incorrect permissions. You can change the permissions for the zip by long pressing and selecting permissions. Sorry i don't really remember the correct permissions but you can look it up on Google. If that doesn't work either you can use jrummy's bootanimation app from the playstore.

Thank you everyone for your time!

Update: I found the bootanimation.zip file, and replaced it with a custom animation file. However, that resulted in a blank screen with the Android logo, not the new boot animation.
Then, I tried changing the "desc" text file, the number of frames in the new animation, and the file names to match the old boot animation file, but nothing's working. (Now its just a blank screen on boot, the Android logo is now gone.)
Does anyone have a solution to this?
_________________________________
(Please bear with the long post.)
I'm using the Honor 6x (BLN-L24) running Android 7.0.
So, I'm trying to replace the default bootanimation.zip file with a custom one so that I can have a custom animation on boot.
The problem is, I can't locate where the original bootanimation file is located.
I tried looking where the posts I read about told me to look: "/system/media" but it wasn't there. The only files present in that folder were audio files.
Obviously, moving the custom bootanimation.zip file there (in "/system/media") didn't work.
Then, I tried moving the custom animation file into "/data/local" but that didn't work either.
Finally, I just searched the entire system using root explorer and the only file I found was a "bootanimation" file in "/system/bin" that didn't have any label after it, (ie, ".zip, .png, etc.)
Replacing that file with the custom zip file caused my device to not have a boot animation at all, just a blank screen. It probably wasn't the right file. (I "replaced" that file by renaming it to "bootanimation.bak")
Btw, when I tried opening that file, all I got were a bunch of scrambled symbols and letters.
Does anyone have a solution on how I could possibly change my boot animation/ find the original boot animation file? I think I'm missing something here.
(My phone is rooted.)

do u happen to still have the stock bootanimation file? I accidentally deleted it trying to change it... now I'd just be happy to have the original. I've tried the ones for other Huawei versions to no avail.

Yep, I still have it! Hope this is the file you're looking for.
(Just remember to change the name of the file in order for it to work)

I'm not able to paste the custom boot animation in the folder. It says not enough storage! Root browser by jrummy pastes it halfway till 11MB and rest is not pasted there! And if i try to open that zip file, it just doesn't open up!
One more thing, if a boot animation is around 5 to 6 mb in size, it works without any problem!
Plz help me! I want to use watch dogs boot animation but its bigger in size!

That's strange!
I recently rooted my device, and haven't done much! Just installed Dolby Atmos port.. but still it says 0.2GB free out of 2.8GB!

[solved] new boot animation fix
If you encounter the error of having a blank bootscreen and Android logo then you must verify the file that you put in /system/media.
The file should contain different folder starting from part0,part,...
The boot animation file should also contain desc.txt file that contains proper display configuration of your device hardware and name of all part folders followed by c and 2 digit 0s and 1s
After all,
One and last thing every part folder should contain many jpg images of same name followed by sequential numbers.
At last change file permission to rw- r-- r-- using any kind of root explorer.
Permission should look like this
