So I am making a boot animation, a crossover from the origional cm11s bootanimation to the new Cm12 blue guy one.
I think I did everything correctly, because JRummy's Bootanimation app does show it like i wanted, in the "details" overview, when selecting it in the "local" tab.
But when I install it (also using JRummy's app), it does not show and instead (like usual), shows the boot logo, and the lock screen when's it's fully booted.
Now I want to know what I did wrong making this bootanimation. Is it too long? Is the desc file wrong?
The bootanimation is provided below, but please don't republish this, or make an app out of this, since I am planning to do this myself.
Thanks for your help and time,
-JustRamon

A while ago i installed an app called "Boot Animation Lite" and it just swaps the boot animation. I decided i no longer wanted it because it was slowing down my boot time. After deleting it, the animation i installed was still there. I emailed the dev about it and he said to reinstall & put the stock anim back on. I did this, and the mario-bros one i had installed was still there. So i imported a stock one, tried that, with no success. Loaded the "AndroidStock" one from the app menu, and that didnt work.
After becoming furious about it, i applied the stock, then uninstalled the app, used RootExplorer to remove the directory for this app (including the mario-bros boot) and its still F'ING mario!!!!
WTF?
This is irritating as hell, since ive swapped to TelusLite-v4 it takes my phone roughly 20 seconds to complete the boot sequence, but the Mario animation sticks around for about 2-3 minutes. So i want some help removing this, because im bout to pull my hair out over this!
If anyone knows how to restore the stock animation that would be GREAT!
See either /data/local/ or /system/media (look with RootExplorer). There you'll SURELY find a bootanimation.zip, which you can delete
awesome.
deleted both .zip files, then removed the folder as well off the SDcard & it worked.
many thanks!
ROFLMAO you had to see freaking mario for 3 minutes before booting your phone ahahahaha sorry but this made me laugh
i´m glad your problem it´s solved !
Big BIG problem.
Infotmic FlyTouch 3, temporary root using Z4root.
Replaced boot animation using this tutorial:

Used this bootanimation.zip file - AndroidParticles2:

Got it from here:

I put the ZIP file in this folder: /system/media/ - that was probably a very stupid ideea.
Now the tablet is not getting past the boot animation.
In the middle of the animation, there's a 1-2 seconds pause, white screen instead of android robot.
Endless bootanimation loop.
Of course, tried hard reset. Of course, it did not help.
Probably, all my apps and bookmakrs are gone.
Probable solution: flash a custom ROM. But that's really scary.
Any other ideas? Please help, I'm desperate.
Hate to ask, but did you flash Clockwork Mod Recovery before doing this? Any chance you made a nandroid backup (or even titanium) of your data? If not, you may have lost your stuff. I'm not at all familiar with your phone though.
If all else fails, you could try a program like android explorer (or similar...just search around XDA). I had luck with this previously recovering from a bootloop. It will sometimes recognize your phone (even while bootlooping) and you can go into the files and replace the boot animation with the original. I once tried flashing CWM from this program while bootlooping...and it worked!
Good luck!

No backup, no nothing.
Only temporary root using z4root, copy bootanimation.zip to system/media, reboot.
And it's not a phone, it's a tablet.
I dont' care about the apps and data, I already did a hard factory reset and they're gone.
But the system/media folder content is still there.
Fixed it myself.
Flashed Tim ROM
Then fixed 576 resolution. Even tough Elixir and webpage specs say it has 600 resolution !!

I was not satisfied with just the Droid Bionic start up sound file. So I decided to add in the "Droooiiiddd...." sound effect to it.
You may download my start up sound effect from http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10439360/android_audio.mp3
Copy it into your SD card and then use Root Explorer to move/copy it to the /system/media folder.
Remember to change the file permission to rw-r--r--.
Reboot and enjoy the Droid Bionic Boot Animation with sound effects
I know it is an old thread, but i tried to follow the tutorial of vadonka.
Problem:
I do not have the file /system/etc/init.local.rc but init.glodfish.sh in which the bootanimation is mentioned. Some other way to get bootsound running?

You can not change the M logo. The boot animations comes after the M Logo.
My problem is that i do not have the file /system/etc/init.local.rc on my Milestone 2 with GingerBread. Any solution?
Nobody an idea how to get Boot-Sound on a Stock GingerBread Rom?
Why use a stock ROM if you're going to modify it to that extent anyway?

I don't know what are you using, but its not stock gingerbread.
You can try Boot Animation Changer from the market.

The M logo is drawn by the bootloader, which cannot be swapped out on a Milestone due to Motorola's code-signing checks.
While the boot logo is indeed drawn by the bootloader, it's actually stored in mtd block whose signature is not checked.
See this tool by Skrilax_CZ: http://modmymobile.com/forums/555-m...s/559148-tool-milestone-custom-boot-logo.html
The tool and my current bootlogo is attached (a bit morbid, I know - it's a picture of a drowned doll, accidentally found in Terezin after the 2002 floods).
Kabaldan did it for me ;]
you must remeber that the picture must be 480x182.
And first, read more and speak up then
I attached my own bootlogo

As always, you rock. I knew the bootloader couldn't be changed, I didn't know that the boot-logo was stored elsewhere though.
..... I wonder if we can somehow use an "invalid" boot logo to redirect the bootloader into loading unsigned code? Hmm... lol
Before i start i just wanted to let you guys know, i did my best to search around the forum using the search bar and manually, read all of the guides and tut's, read other peoples problems and tried their solutions
nothign seems to be working.
im on a Pantech Sky Vega IM-A650S.
i followed the tutorials located

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27477164#post27477164
but nothing seems to be working. my phone is z4rooted, and now when my phone boots its just black and plays the original boot sounds.
im doing this through the ROOT EXPLORER method,
i was trying to get the alienware boot animation someone created here to work on my phone and it just stays black.
i have stretched the images like in the tutorial, used the "imageresizer/Boot animation Creator"
i place it on my sdcard, then click mount r/w and move it to the media folder where it replaces the original bootanimation.zip
- in an attempt i actually tried renaming it just to "bootanimation" (without the .zip) and placing it in my "bins" folder because i noticed that there was a file there as well. looks like it made my situation worse.
all i really want to do is learn that way i can start making boot animations other people may want to use.
0 i know it was stupid of me not to make a backup of the original bootanimation, but i have the files needed to factory reset this phone.
the resolution is 480 x 800 ( i tried this resolution as well as the others )
Help would be greatly appreciated, i only ever ask a question once and thats when im at a complete loss
Thank You Xda-Developers!
i know its redundant
Up, hope its just something simple im forgetting to do,
this is in the right section right? thanks
try this...
thanks
so it could possibly be due to the program im using? ill go ahead and give it a try right now, thanks for the quick reply
- just installed i see that its kind of a manager for boot animations, but how would i get that specific boot animation to work.?
didnt really like the boot animations on the list, but thanks.
any other suggestions?
would i be making a mistake when stretching the pictures? other than that the program listed in the link above pretty much does everything for you
wonder why it wont work :s
didn't work still displaying black when the phone is booting. even with the program,
Bump, I'm on the same situation. Even the app for the bootanimations wont play the selected animation.
I'm trying via terminal, pushing the zip through the ADB, I've just modified the stock bootanimation images and saved as PNG-8, zipping the folfer with 7-Zip and selecting store instead of compressing...
Thanks for the help!
try flashing another rom, which supposts them
Has anyone figured out a way to replace the stock MetroPCS boot animation?
Although I'm rooted and using the Tried & True method of renaming the stock animation to ".bak" and replacing it with the Nougat (or any other for that matter) animation (as well as setting permissions) does not work.. It's as if MetroPCS has a "fallback" boot animation hidden somewhere..
Even deleting the stock animation does not stop the MetroPCS animation from engaging.
Any Help Would Be Appreciated.
I feel your pain...I have the tmo variant....same issue

And where can you find boot animations to flash for the lg Stylo 3 plus?
Can someone give detailed instructions on how to do this because I've tried myself I went to system/Op but really don't know what to select from there and exactly what to do. I was going to use the Jay rummy app boot animations to change the animation but I keep getting an error. I'm pretty Savvy on most things but this is something I've never done before so I'm definitely a noob to doing this. Thank you and any help would be appreciated.

Making Boot Animations
To create a boot animation for yourself, as I have made them in the paste(around the 4.0 era), after extraction seems to be the same.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642851&nocache=1
Please give thanks
I decided to mess around with this a bit tonight on my MetroPCS Stylo 3 Plus (MP450), i assume the t-mobile version will be same/similar
(Root required, obviously)
Now hop into your root browser (any root browser should be fine)
(Optional but recommended)Firstly, get ROM Toolbox Lite, go to the interface tab, tap the bootanimation button. Go to top right 3 dots for options, create backup. This way if you decide not to use custom anymore youll be able to go back stock without having to reflash firmware and losing root ect..
I found that there are 3 locations for boot animations.
The one most know of is the standard /system/media
Delete the bootanimation.zip out of there.
Then we have another in /system/OP/MPCS_US/poweron
Delete that bootanimation.zip also.
Now with that done, on boot it should default to the 3rd i have not seen mentioned yet, /data/local which will simply display an image of the word android.
Now, get yourself back into ROM Toolbox Lite.
Under the interface tab, you will see boot animations. Go ahead on into that. Now you will have access to many different boot animations. I find the ones labeled with tablet seem to come in best resolution. Click one. Youll see an option to resize. Tap that. Resize to 1080x1789.
Now normally when trying to use this app to load a boot animation, it would default to /system/media, which of course would fail on this phone because of the /system/OP/poweron copy we normally would have to go into a root browser and copy/paste our /system/media bootanimation.zip to the OP/poweron. BUT, we deleted both of those. So now the toolbox app defaults to /data/local, our last remaining location.
Tap install on your 1080x1789 resized choice of boot animation, and after toast for super user permission shows, feel free to reboot.
*note* i have found a few of these boot animations simply do not work. Still working on the why, and work arounds for those ones with issues, but for the most-part you should be all set with this.
This method of deleting both /system bootanimation.zip is merely to force it to boot from /data/local on boot, and to make the toolkit to default to that location, this way you save the step of having to go in root browser and copy/paste every time you change your boot animation.
Hope it helps. Thank me if it works out for you
They probably don't work because of resolution. I used to be mad into this
