I have an unlocked xt1225 quark with twrp on CM13. I am trying to (unsuccessfully) install a boot animation and I cant get it to load. The previous theme I had installed the PitchBlack theme and its corresponding bootanimation. I removed that theme recently and changed it to deep darkness. The bootanimation remained as PitchBlack. I then tried to install a droid bootanimation, downloaded the apk, installed it and applied the annimation via themes. Unfortunately, the pitchblack animation will not overwrite.
can someone point me in the right direction how to change it and or remove pitchblack totally?
update but without results:
I reinstalled stock theme again but still the pitchblack bootanimation remains in place.
How can I do this manually?
Thanks

It's an apk or a zipped file? If a zipped file is it TWRP flashable?
If TWRP flashable zip, then boot into recovery and flash...
If it's not a TWRP flashable zip file (some zip are not), then you have to manually move it in the system/media folder and it has to be named exactly what the other animation is named, usually bootanimation.zip.
There's also an app that can help...
See here for instructions:

I tried every which way, even the boot app. That Damn pitch black always is the boot animation. I tried manually to change name, the app, had the app use a different location, lol it's just become one of those annoyin things because I can't do it. ..

Hi bigjailerman. I had the same issue as you. Installed the pitch black theme sometime ago, and have been stuck with the boot screen ever since. I have a samsung galaxy s5.
The usual place for the boot animation is /system/media correct?
Check if theres a boot animation.zip in /data/system/theme
And paste the .zip you want in there. It worked for me . and no more ****ty pitch black boot animation.
Hope it works for you. Cheers.

Hello everyone!
I've made my first boot animation for MDPI devices. I tried to made nice-looking light boot animation to some older devices as my Xperia X8 or LG GT-540. The result isn't great but it looks nice
There are two versions:
bootanimation.zip - copy this file to system/media and replace current bootanimation
update-CM9-Bootanimation-320x480.zip - ClockworkMod update (much easier to apply)
Remember to copy old one! And this might brick your device. as all stuff here
Here's the look of official boot animation.

I think that I put this in wrong section. Sorry for that ;] Could someone move this to correct one?

Hi there: silly question: can i use it if i don't have CyanogenMod? am using my stock rom (am waiting for the stable CM9 release for my phone )
*UPDATED*
I think i don't even have a bootanimation.zip in my phone... i searched in the entire root and nothing...
I've never changed a boot animation in any of my phones, so i'm kind of lost here
Look's good! But on LG-P500 it small lagging)
copied the zip to the sdcard, flashed it with cwm recovery but I still have the normal android boot animation...

The zip it's no to be flashed... you have to put it in your phone inner memory "/system/media" folder (if you haver another bootanimation.zip there, rename it just in case)
And that's it
There are 2 archives in the first post - one to be flashed with cwm recovery and one to be put directly in /system/media , none of them worked until I copied the bootanimation.zip in /data/local also. Now it works, but the quality of the gif is very very bad..much wore than the old cm7 animation.
NEW Added a couple Ani's 12-25-14
Greetings Sprint GN4 Users, a little candy.
First off, credit for creating these animations goes to HanneMaster (And Others). All I did was make changes to the Flashable ZIP'z so they would work for the Sprint Variant Note 4.
Some of these were not flashable so I put them in flashable Zip format.
The Files are below.
How to:
Place the zip either on your internal or external sdcard
Boot into recovery
Locate the file & flash it
Reboot your device and enjoy!
The first one is an Android L Boot Animation.
-------------------------------
Android L Boot Animation
preview:
-------------------------------
The second is very cool. It comes in this green preview and also Red.
Also on the list is a nice Shutdown Animation and the Stock Sprint Animations.
I will be updating the list as often as possible. Frequently I hope.
-------------------------------
Matrix bootanimation for note 4.
preview:
-------------------------------
For those who would like to do this manually through a file explorer do this:
** extract the Boot Animation file ("SPR_bootsamsung.qmg") from the ZIP (system/media). Place it on your EXT SDcard.
** Using your favorite root explorer, (I use es file explorer with root enabled) Go to system/media and find "SPR_bootsamsung.qmg". Select it, Rename it to something like "SPR_bootsamsung_ORIG.qmg".
-
** Copy the "SPR_bootsamsung.qmg" file that you placed on your EXT sdcard and paste it in the /system/media folder.
-
** Now you need to change the permissions. Select the "SPR_bootsamsung.qmg" file you pasted and from the More/properties menu (es file explorer) set the permissions to: rw-r-r.
-
** Repeat the same procedure for "SPR_bootsamsungloop.qmg" not forgetting to rename the original "SPR_bootsamsungloop.qmg" to something like "SPR_bootsamsungloop_ORIG.qmg"
-
** Re-boot...
REMEMBER... These are for the Sprint variant NOTE 4 but can be re-named to work with other variants. Look in your system/media folder to try and determine the correct naming for your variant.
The Stock Sprint Animations are also on the list of downloads...

Updated List: The Gecko Full HD Boot Animation
With all props to hannemaster. Thanks dude!
Formatted for the Sprint GN4. Due to size restrictions, this boot animation is stored at Google drive.
Here:
Nature Themed HD Boot animation
And at the top of the list...
I flashed matrix red boot animation and crt shutdown and it didn't work. Flashed together, separate, wiped caches, didn't wipe caches, and it never worked and until I flashed the stock ones back the phone would reboot after the screen would turn off. I'll try the manual way and see if that works.
Edit: manual way didn't work either. I'll try green matrix now.
Edit: flashed green, didn't work. Am I missing something? I'm I devdigitel 2.0 with twisted's kernel. Should those really effect this?
Green Matrix worked for me. Very nice BTW. But Nature HD seems to flash but effects nothing.
Epic Blue Splash. Loving it.
Not working for me...tried flashing a few of them. It just boots stock

Well, what the flashable zip does is overwrite the existing bootanimation files (2). If your stock rooted the files will be named: SPR_bootsamsung. qmg and SPR_bootsamsungloop.qmg. Confirm they are there and permissions are set to rw - r - r. Make sure you can write to the device internally and get back to me. Sounds like it could be a write problem. Although the flash should have handled it.

Which root Explorer are you using. You renamed existing boot files then you copied over the new files and then changed the permissions then hit refresh to make sure it stuck.

So got mine to work. I removed the original two files and extracted the boot I needed files. Then placed them under system/media. When I deleted SPR and changed the permission to rw--r--r. It finally worked.
When I go into system/bin all I had was 1 bootanimation file that I renamed to bootanimation.off2 and then I tried flashing my boot animation butt it's just black after the boot logo, any suggestions please, system/media has alot of files, but now I have in-system Ben a boot Checker that appeared out of nowhere it's a file in his right next to the bootanimation file I renamed to bootanimation.off2

I think you deal with wrong folder.
Boot animation is in system/ media
Name is bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg
Shut animation is shutdown.qmg
No touch in bin.
Which boot animation you want to flash?

You should know diffwrent about boot logo (splash screen) which dark bg and write samsung galaxy ....
If you want to change this you need to search for original splash flash zip because after change it . It can only change back by flash original one. It not change though you change rom or factory reset.
Boot animation is easier to change. Just go to thread that share boot animation downliad flash zip and flash it. If you nandroid backup your rom first , you can always restore . Or you may copy original qmg file to somewhere.

Hi
I managed to modify my Bootlogo to a black one and want to share how I have done it
Do this on your own risk, I'm in no way responsible for damage you do on your device!!!
1. Backup the logo partition from your device
You can use adb or a terminal shell for this
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/logo of=/sdcard/logo.bin
2. copy the logo.bin to your pc or pull it via adb
3. download Motorola Bootloader Maker
4. Within the program, open the logo.bin
5. Extract the existing images to edit them if you like
6. Replace the Images you want with a modified or newly created one
I created one with the red Lenovo logo on a black backround
and saved it as a 8bit color png with a resolution of 1080x1920.
7. Save the new logo as a .bin or .zip file as you like,
I attached my flashable zip to this post.
8. If you choose zip, you have to modify the script, as the included one does not work with our device.
Change all the partition paths to /dev/block/bootdevice/....
You can use the script from the attached zip or replace the included logo.bin with yours.
Use twrp to flash the Zip.
9. If you choose .bin flash it via fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
Enjoy your new bootlogo

Ähm, I still don't get your point.
Boot animations don't need to be made for a certain device.
Just use the one from your thread if you like
Nevertheless I made one matching my boot logo.
Copy it to /system/media and modify permission to how they where set before.
Isn't the stock logo some kind of a precaution measure? The lock/unlock symbol shows whether the phone gets permission to boot. When I was experimenting with Magisk I noticed the phone wouldn't boot. It had something to do with dm-verity, but I wouldn't been able to tell that easily if I had replaced the boot logo.
Of course you only have to worry about this when you're messing with files which have an impact on verified boot.
No, it's just an indicator if the bootloader is locked or unlocked.
You can change both images independently.
If you want, just use a different one for each.
Took a look inside the Zip to see what the boot animation looks like. Great job.
Thanks a lot for this. That blinding white was really annoying.
Thanks a lot for this zip, Perfect...
That blinding white was really unbearable.
This seems to be done for an amoled.
Better than Lenovo.
Can anyone elaborate backup process?
Thanks

Is there any way to flash stock splash screen
Got a problem!
I'm unable to change my logo It says the produced file is too large everytime. Please get me clear out of this.
Haaaa my eyes say thank you

use a smaller picture file to modify bootlogo. you are not allowed to use a file larger than stock logo file
I just came across this thread.
I made an proper replacement for the Lenovo splash logo on start-up. You can find the logo.bin and post here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77096272&postcount=376
Custom Boot Animation
Change the bootanimation that shows AFTER the boot logo.
This has only been tested on the T285, but should work on the T280.
This app does make a backup of the original bootanimation and the bootanimation.zip and stores it on your /sdcard as bootanimation.bak and bootanimation.zip.bak
MAKE SURE YOUR SDCARD IS MOUNTED WHEN YOU GET INTO TWRP or CWM.
(Have NOT tested in CWM as I have TWRP installed).
To change the bootanimation, replace the system/media/bootanimation.zip in the .zip file with your own bootanimatio.zip file.
Remember the Galaxy TAB A (SM-T285) display is 720x1280.
NOTE: The bootanimation.zip MUST NOT be compressed when creating the bootanimation.zip. Under 'compression method' select 'store'.
Steps to install:
- Reboot into recovery
- Select Install from recovery menu
- Select TAB-A-T285-Custom_Bootanimation.zip
- Follow recovery install prompts
- Reboot and enjoy!
If you need a restore script, please contact me or post a message.

For some reason the tablet doesn't want to restore, reinstalling the custom boot animation also doesn't work.
I have the boot splash screen for +/- 30 seconds and then the OS is booted.. No boot animation

Could be that other bootanimations over-wrote the saved, original bootanimation files.
Original bootanimation files were saved on internal sdcard as *.bak files.
Best way to learn to create a bootanimation is to unzip one and look at the file structure. They are very easy to create. Also, "Google Search" is your friend. You need to make sure you are using a bootanimation (in /system/bin) file that is compatible with the O/S you are using. Otherwise, you will get a blank screen.
