I have CM11 on my phone right now, and I think the boot animation is pretty boring, especially compared to the one in CM10. I'm on a LG Optimus G, where the screen resolution is 1280x768. I downloaded the CM10 boot animation files, and it came with a number of versions depending on the resolution of each animation. I picked the 720p by 720p one, zipped the animation folder without compressing, copied it to system/media, fixed permissions, and deleted the previous animation. I followed the instructions I found on various forums to the letter, and yet all I get during boot is a blank black screen. The transition from the black screen to the lock screen is glitchy also, with it showing the homescreen for a few seconds, showing battery icon at -1% (??), then finally getting to the lockscreen. I tried this multiple times, and it doesn't work. I don't know why something so simple is so complicated. I attached the animation zip, also, and it looks like the xda forum uploader automatically renamed it with a [2] at the end. It was bootanimation.zip originally.
Help would be appreciated.
Does anybody have any ideas? I tried ROMToolbox, and nothing in there works.

I need some people to test out an app that previews boot animations on the device. It also can set the boot animation (requires root). This is a complete rewrite of the original version that is currently on the market. This version is using OpenGL to render the animations, which allows for the larger animations to actually work.
As I said, I just want to get an indication of what devices / android versions it is working on, and which ones its not. I still have a bit to do with the OpenGL, as the frames are rendering inverted, but this is just an alpha test
Note: If you are going to test it out, you must have the AndExplorer app installed on your device as well.
If you test it out, please post your device, and if you were able to see the boot animation.
I have attached 3 boot animations, if you do not have any to test with.
Thank you for taking the time test.
question
okay i am running android 2.2 froyo and tested the app out i was able to see the star wars logo one but it didnt take up all of the screen and it was in the bottom left hand corner and was fairly small but i was not able to load the matrix or the other one it just sat there on the white screen and said loading so it seems like some may work and others don't but its a wonderful app if its able to test all boot animations it will save me loads of time cause then i can just preview them instead of having to install them to see what the look like
okay so like i said earlier i have the moto droid running android 2.2 and the matrix boot animation didnt load in it but i also tried some of the added functions in the app such as setting a boot animation from your sd card to be your default boot animation and that didnt work but if you were able to get this app to were you could preview boot animations and then set them to play when your phone boots up i would give you a big kiss lol but i love the idea
i have the samsung moment and when i tried it, the animation showe up on the bottom half of the screen for like 2-3 seconds then went blank.
On Samsung Galaxy Spica 2.1 same problem, animation is displayed normally, but only in the lower left corner.
[BUG] No CRT Lock animation if "Window Transition" in Spare Parts is "Fast"
I don't think I can be much more clear than the title. I just installed Apex 6.4, and went to change the speed of the phone's animations to how I like them using the Spare Parts app. Now, I can set the Transition Animation to however I like with no ill effects. However, changing the "Window Animation" causes the CRT-Off animation to stop working whenever you lock the phone.
I realize this is a terribly minor issue, but I didn't find the Spare Parts thread, and I apologize if this is in the wrong section
and the screen on effect will be affected by the transition speed.....

Your problem is that the animation for screen off only works at one speed. If you change the speed it no longer will work right. That app was made before the animation was added so it might not work with it. So you can either leave them or lose the screen off.
I changed the speeds to "fast" and lost the animation.
I wondered how i lost that feature. Thanks!
Hi everyone. This is a weird thing - I haven't found anyone with a similar issue, either here or with Google-fu.
I successfully rooted my HTC Desire a while ago (S-Off) and was pretty happy with it, the LCARS bootanimation installation also went well. After trying out a lot of apps, finding the best configuration for the phone etc. I decided to format and set up the whole thing again on Monday, to have a clean installation and no more space issues.
Although I went for the CyanogenMod V7.1.0-RC1 this time 'round I somehow doubt that has something to do with it, but who knows. Okay, SD card was set up anew, custom mod got installed, everything went as smoothly as it possibly could. (cool story, bro)
However, after I moved the bootanimation.zip into the system\media folder and rebooted, the animation started, but only at half the size it usually has, in the middle of the screen. I tried another one and it was the same thing. The longer one of the two also broke off in the middle with a brief flash, as if I'd pressed the Power button, then stayed dark until I pressed the Power button twice (turn off/ back on), only then it would show me the pin number display.
Apart from that the phone works perfectly.
It's not an incredibly important issue, just something I find weird and would like to fix, if possible. Does anyone have an idea what could be the source of this?
Doesn't anyone have the slightest idea?
you try flash bootanimation over Android Flasher..
Hi majko11293 - first of all thanks for pointing me to this programm. I'd used it before (worked brilliant with my own custom splash screen), but somehow lost it again.
Anyway, even when flashing it with Android Flasher, the bootanimation stays at half size. The animation itself changes depending on which one I choose, but the size issue remains...
Hi All,
I have looked around for a similar problem but could not find anything.
I have a problem with my screen on my HTC Sensation. I was using Virtuous ROM but when this started happening, I wiped with superscript and switched to Insertcoin ROM and the problem actually became worse.
When I lock my phone with the Power button, instead of the screen turning black instantly, the bottom and top of the screen slide up and meet in the middle (like a transition that you put inbetween chapters in a home made movie).
The same happens when I unlock the phone.. and it's very annoying and of course very slow.
I can't work out if it's hardware or not. I just recently edited the build.prop file (only removed the '#' from the screen capture line- which worked, didn't touch anything else)... and now when I unlock, the font and app icons seem a little enlarged and blurry.. then once I slide between screens and back it goes to normal.
I'm a noobie and would appreciate the help.
Thanks
Ginox
I always thought is was on purpose
No, this is very exaggerated and slow. Usually the phones screen goes off reasonably quick when you lock the phone (and vice versa with unlocking).
It sounds like you are describing the CRT animation for locking and unlocking, like an old TV turning on/off. Some ROMs include this by default. If the phone is running slow/sluggish it can look poor and cause other issues like the funky looking icons.

Hmm, it doesn't seem like that kind of problem... my phone runs reasonable fast.
Here's a video of it:

Yup, thats the CRT animation, that's what its supposed to do. It must have been included with a ROM you installed by default. Like I said, its meant to look like you are turning on or off and old tube type television or computer monitor. Someone might have a flashable file out there for you to remove it, I don't know. At least now you can search "remove CRT animation" or something and see what you can get.
~T.J.
Oh really, thats interesting as I was pretty sure it done something similar on the previous Virtuous Rom.
Does anyone else out there have this feature on their Insertcoin ROM? (I've only ever had stock, Virtuous and Insertcoin).
I will have a search but if anyone knows the fix, please let me know
Hey,
I have a G920F and the boot animation is not working as it should. I'm on 6.0 Beta and don't think the problem is coming from the beta because if I remember correctly, the first time I booted the beta everything went smoothly. I am not rooted and the phone is completely clean.
The problem isn't a big one, but it isn't working normally. When I boot my S6, the 'Galaxy S6' screen comes, then no boot animation is shown, a black screen is shown instead, then after the small vibration, the boot animation is then shown without the sound. (an the phone is not in silent/vibrate mode)
My guess is flashing a new stock ROM fixes the problem, but I don't have enough time to sort the settings and stuff out after flashing.
Someone may be able to help?
Thank you,
I have the same problem. Check Marshmallow thread, quite many people have same problems too. That's why it's called "Beta" . Nothing to worry about.
