Hello XDA! I was surprised to find out no one has ripped the boot animation from KITKAT yet. So I downloaded the Nexus 5 System Dump (posted by Android Central member Jerry Hildenbrand. Thanks Jerry :laugh: ) And ripped the bootanimation.zip from the system/media folder. Tested and works just fine on Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime TF201, stock ROM, rooted (I installed it using JRummy's ROM Toolbox Lite app. I know there are other ways but this one is the easiest.), but it SHOULD WORK ON ALMOST ANYTHiNG (if it doesnt, plz tell me) WARNING: THIS IS NOT A FLASHABLE .ZIP SO DO NOT FLASH IT IN RECOVERY. If you dunno how to install boot animations, just use JRummy's ROM Toolbox app. So yeah. if you wanna know what it looks like it's almost exactly the same as the Google Edition phone boot animation (Google logo shows up, then goes away, then 4 circles crash together and then continuosly spin. It's awesome.) but this one does NOT have Google logo in the beginning. And of course the post wouldn't be complete w/o the usual warning that If something gets screwed up, it's not my fault or XDA's fault.
DOWNLOAD the bootanimation.zip file by clicking here.
Thanks but there are many threads with the boot animation on XDA. I got it on the first day in the Apps section.
Sent from my 4X HD via XDA Premium
now i want to try it.
but how to change it back to stock animation?
do i have to search for my current rom's bootanimation.zip?

For those who might like to revert to the original/stock boot animation on their Samsung Galaxy Tab, here is a flashable zip patch
Quite straightforward...
Copy the zip file to your device
Boot into CWM Recovery
Install zip from wherever you placed it
Reboot
The patch has been repaired and now has no known side effects so flash away if you prefer to stock boot animation
Thanks to alterbridge86 for the hard work

File updated.
Please check and let us know
Nope still black screen. Problem is prolly in my tab. Something got messed up maybe?
EDIT pushing the bootanimation the thread i posted gives me android animation and no problem. Flashable zip gives me blackscreen after samsung splash. Is it cause i removed the previous bootanimation?
To add. I tested after another fresh flash of overcome.
Updated
The file in the first post has been updated.
It now works without the blank screen
Thanks to alterbridge86 for his help
Thank you and alterbridge86 for the great work.
Thx MK and Alterbridge86 to.
Stock in the beginning and stock at the end.
In between runs the great Overcome...
Haha... Great indeed!

Maybe it is coincidence but after flashing the bootscreen via CWM my wifi stop working.
It stays at waiting for ip-adress and all my apps which needs root access could'nt get root access any more.
While Superuser has granted them the access.
btw i did also wipe my cache.
Just to play with my luck i flashed the 1.6.4 update file.
After flashing the updater Wifi works again and all my superuser works again also.
@ MK
I will report my finding on converting the notification sounds to you this evening.
To be sure i restocked and flashed the restock-bootscreen again.
Same thing happens as written above.
Yes I can report the same. I did a fresh flash though after to get things working. Guess its weird samsung engineering like camera app related to the email lol.

Yes a few of us are having the Wifi problem...
Not sure if it's related to flashing the bootanimation but it is being studied to death as we speak
I dunno if its bootanimation. Adb push like you described when you first started this thread causes no issues. But an extra step is to delete bootanimation.
I have removed the file as it apparently breaks Wifi and causes some instability with root privileges...
Another update will be posted with a fix later tonight
Edit: First post updated with ADB commands and a working .zip that has no negative side affects. I will flash a CWM flashable zip once issues are resolved
Original post updated with a repaired CWM flashable zip
Thanks
Thanks, this is just what I was looking for. Worked perfectly for me.
Yep worked great here on overcome gold rom
Thanks a ton for the stock bootanimation I always prefer it over custom ones Had a request if its possible...I notice that the sound is missing from the start up...there was a nice tune to the new gingerbread stock animation in the stock rom...is it possible to get a version with sound up? Hope its not a big bother!
Thanks & Cheers!
Hi, I'm new here.
So I've got kind of a funny problem.
It involves my root system folder.
I neglected to make a back-up in my haste to make a custom boot animation for my Samsung Galaxy Rush.
It had .qmg format for the files so I flashed a zip that I believed would allow me to easily install a new boot animation.
But something kind of strange happened. The mod worked, but not in the way you'd expect. A few hours before I installed the mod I purchased Rom Toolbox Pro that has Boot Animations included with it. I tried to install one that I thought was nice before I realized that it was specifically for an HTC Eris. Luckily for me, the install failed from the app, so I was left with the same old Boost Mobile animation on start-up. Funny thing though, is I found a few more appropriate boot animations in the same app that I'd prefer and they also failed to install. Although I believe the Eris one was my first attempt.
So then I install bootanimation4U, from a developer on this site, and much to my chagrin, instead of the bootanimation.zip I put into my system > media folder, the HTC Eris boot animation showed up upon restart instead.
Can anyone explain this?
Or at least inform me on how to return my boot animation back to normal?
just flash the stockrom to return to the normal boot animatian

I don't have a stock rom. Samsung Galaxy Rush is kind of obscure. I don't think there's anything about them on this site.
I'm kind of a noob. Could you explain how I could manage this?
Well. Actually. I do have a stock rom I could flash. But I'm not sure I trust the source exactly. It's not from xda.
I suppose I could make a back-up.
-------------------------------------------------------
Okay. I flashed the only stock rom I could find and it wont load past the samsung screen.
------------------------------------------------------
Problem solved, but I flashed a custom ROM. Boot animation still gone.
Hey everyone. The old flash CWM_CustomBootanimation_44_Enable.zip that worked with 4.4.2 no longer
works with 4.4.4. Just shows a blank screen.
I've been unable to find a working confirmed flashable that can renable boot animation zip functionality
for 4.4.4 and above. Does anyone have any idea how i can modify the old mod or know of a already existing fix?

You could try the bootanimation fix I posted for android L, but backup first.

Probably worse case scenario is this will kill your bootanimations but its worth a try.
Only flash the 5.0 bootanimation file from the bottom of the post.
THIS GUIDE IS TESTED WORKING ON CYANOGENMOD 12 WITH THEME ENGINE ONLY.
Please do not post that this isn't working for you unless you have a ROM which has the CyanogenMod 12 theme engine installed.
It should theoretically work on all ROMs based off CM12 like CyanogenMod 12, GearCM12, AICP, Vanir, BlissPop, CyanideL, Candy5, Euphoria, Temasek, Resurrection Remix, Screw'd, Validus, Team UB, Dirty Unicorns and many more!
I recently posted a thread on changing the lock screen wallpaper on CM12 (which got featured on the portal ). And now, I'm gonna share another way of customizing the CM12 on your phone. As you know, you can't apply custom boot animations except through the theme engine- until now. Some people did figure this out, but I couldn't find a thread anywhere that listed the steps to do this clearly. So I thought I'd post one. Devs probably already know how to do this, but I'm hoping this helps some newbies out there.
Please follow this carefully step by step or this may not work for you. If you ARE on a ROM based off of CyanogenMod 12, and you did these steps correctly and it still didn't work (I don't see why it wouldn't), post your device information and ROM details and I'll look into it.
What boot animations will work?
Try to do this only with a boot animation that was meant for CM12, with the correct resolution of your phone. Pay attention to the dpi when downloading your boot animation. Most devs will provide boot animations for different resolutions. Make sure to download the correct one. If you try to do this with an incompatible boot animation, mess up your phone then point your finger at me, I will laugh at you. This is relatively easy, and if you followed the steps correctly, you will not go wrong. Pay attention.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU READ THE F.A.Q. BEFORE DOING THIS.
Now that that's out of the way, let's get started.
Things you'll need:
A ROM based off of CM12 (duh)
Root access.
A root file explorer.
Here's a video tutorial I made to make things easier to understand:
Here are the steps:
Download/place the boot animation you want to apply in your internal/external storage and remember it's location. THIS HAS TO BE A .ZIP FILE.
Go to theme manager, and apply the boot animation of the stock theme. <-- IMPORTANT. Or the new boot animation will NOT work.
Download, install and open a root file browser. (ES File Explorer recommended)
Grant the file explorer root access.
Go into the root directory and then go to system/media.
Scroll down till you find a file named "bootanimation.zip". Rename that to "bootanimationOLD.bak" to keep it as a backup.
Now navigate to where you saved your new boot animation, and rename it to "bootanimation.zip" ONCE AGAIN. THIS HAS TO BE .ZIP FILE..
Now move this file to the location mentioned above (system/media).
Change permissions to -rwx r-- r--
Reboot the phone now, and watch your new boot animation.
F.A.Q.
Q: How do I revert to the old boot animation?
A: Simple. Just delete the new one, and rename the backed-up boot animation.
Q: Will this work on ROMs other than the ones based off of CM12?
A: I do not know. I've only tested this on Resurrection Remix 5.3.1 which is based off of CM12 on a S4 GT-i9500. Give it a shot, and if it worked, let me know so I can update the OP.
Q: Will this cause any bricks or bootloops if I mis-rename the files?
A: Theoretically, no. If something isn't right, the phone should just start up, but without any boot animations. I've never had any other problems with this. But if you DO get stuck in a bootloop or anything like that, rename the files back from the recovery. Make sure to have a backup so you can revert changes from the recovery. But if you followed the steps EXACTLY like I mentioned and set the right permissions, then this WILL work. Watch the video for proof. A few other XDA members have already tried this method and it works just fine.
Q: What happens if I just rename the existing one and don't replace it with anything?
A: You might possibly end up with a bootloop, a soft brick, or no boot animation during boot. Revert changes through recovery to get out of this.
Q: What boot animations will work?
A: Try to do this only with a boot animation that was meant for CM12, with the correct resolution of your phone. Pay attention to the dpi when downloading your boot animation. Most devs will provide boot animations for different resolutions. Make sure to download the correct one. If you try to do this with an incompatible boot animation, mess up your phone then point your finger at me, I will laugh at you. This is relatively easy, and if you followed the steps correctly, you will not go wrong. Pay attention.
Q: I did this, and I see a boot animation, but it's not the one I downloaded and applied.
A: Go to theme manager, and go into boot animations. Select the system (default) and apply it. It should work. (You should have done this in the first place.)
Q: I did everything right, and it still doesn't work!
A: Please make sure you did everything correctly again. Redo all the steps. Watch the video for more help. Verify that you've set the permissions right, renamed it properly,set the stock theme's boot animation. If it still doesn't work, then it means your ROM just doesn't support it. Ask the dev for help.
Watch the video if the steps seem complicated to you. If you're gonna tell other people about this, please link back to this thread.
Enjoy your new CM12 boot animation. :good:

Oneplus One, CM 12 (Sabermod by RobbieL811), and this boot animation from here. Gets stuck at boot animation. I tried five different boot animations (all for CM 12) and they all get stuck. Only one that boots is the stock boot animation.

Just tried that exact same animation on my Galaxy S4 i9500 to test it. It works flawlessly using the same method.. Using CM12 (Euphoria OS by BlaqueDroid). See attached screenshots!
I have a feeling that THIS is your problem.

I'm aware of that issue, but tbf, I don't think that's the issue in my case. I have to get into recovery and delete the Theme folder in /data/system and then it boots fine. This has something to do with the CM12 theme engine. Pretty buggy still.

I have no idea then :/ I've tried various boot animations using this method on my phone, and about five other friend's phones including the Nexus 5 and Galaxy S5.. They all worked fine.
I downloaded a custom boot animation ( the stock Android Lollipop one) but when I installed it (using ROM Toolbox Pro) , it was blank. I previewed the animation in the app and got "Failed loading the animation. " How do I make it work?
Device: LG Optimus L70 D321
Carrier:Cricket
It is rooted.
Android version: 4.4.2
Stock ROM.
The boot animation is probably broken, maybe due to a bad download.
Just try this one and give me feedback
Don't forget to hit the 'thank' if I was helpful!
