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.

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!
For starters I've been trying to change my boot animation, something I put together myself. Tool used to swap the repacked bootanimation.zip was Root Explorer and I do have Superuser/ root permissions and it all appeared to swap over without fuss but somehow doesn't show booting the phone. While I successfully killed off the old animation. mine is not appearing. The bootanimation file being used is .pngs with the original file structure, all I did was overwrite existing ones on my pc with my preferred images so no need to overwrite the existing desc.txt file. Any suggestions on where I boofed things?
The shutdown animation I can't find, browsed the system/media and data folders without joy. Could any of the learned members here be able to direct me to where the shutdown animation is hiding as I so hate telco provider logos left on phones not tied to contracts?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.
This little tool did the trick for the boot animation and should work for the shutdown animation when I find the little sod.

Shut down animation is in the power off apk I believe I made it black and white in my theme back in the day
Thanks for the tip there Samno, looks I'm off googling now to see how to recompile Apks.
You can just drag and drop in winrar just don't change the compression settings should work as long as there named the same and in the right format, won't hurt for you to learn though
Learning by my errors by the looks of things, unpacked and repacked with Winrar and a rename to apk utility found here after doing my file swap and now getting reboots instead of shutdowns.
I should have kept an eye on this thread before charging off like a nutter.
Thanks again Samnos.
Sorted the reboot issues as I hadn't dumped off the original APK and just edited the archive to replace my ingloriously modified version..
It's pretty straight forward about how to change boot animation on the OPO and other android phones. Done it on the OPO's we have and G3. Animations and boot sounds play on G3, but only boot animation on OPO's. The boot sound will not play on the OPOs. I'm using the same sound file, PowerOn.ogg, for the G3 and OnePlus.
I've read many other posts, and specifically one where the boot animation creator put the PowerOn.ogg file into system/sounds and or system/sounds/poweron On my OPO's, stock 44s rooted, the system/sound directory did not exist, so I created it and those placements do not work. Permissions of the directories are correct. I've tried using the same directory as the G3, system/media/audio/ui, and permissions to 644. Does not work.
Can someone please advise where to put the sound file/how to get it going?
Thank you.
So, I'm attempting to edit the boot animation on my HTC U12+. My phone is rooted using Magisk. The boot animation zip is located here on the phone:
/system/customize/resource/hTC_bootup_U_QCT_2880.zip
I copied the zip using Root Explorer to my PC. Extracting the zip, it contains PNG files in five different folders, some text files that contain the file names of the PNG files, and a WAV file for the boot up animation. I created my own PNG's with the exact same file names, removed the WAV file, and replaced the PNG's inside the zip file. I copied it back to the phone and replaced the old boot animation zip. I set the permissions on the file to be the same as the original.
Then, I powered off the phone, and powered it back on. The phone boots up but no boot animation is shown.
Has anyone else with a U11 or U12+ tried to do this and got it working? I've attached my edited boot zip.
