[Q] Having trouble setting up boot animations

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?

[Q] MOTO M Logo

I have managed to replace the bootanimation (using instructions in this forum) but the M logo (which is a red one for me - froyo 2.2.2) is still the same.
is this logo replaceable? and how?

that's not bootanimation.zip
bootanimation is after that moto logo.

I have figured it out already. but how to change it?

it's part of the locked bootloader.. if you unpack the SBF and look closely maybe you'll find it somewhere, but you can't change it anyways.

It's possible to change it since Barebones use a different logo (still motorola) from the others ROM's, but i don't know how.

You need to build the logo.bin IMAGE, which contain the logo PICTURE.
Please note, "image" and "picture" have different meaning in this case.
Google a bit, "build logo.bin android".
Then you need to build a flashable zip, place the logo.bin in the root of your zip, then in the updater-script you'll put some code to verify, extract and write the logo.bin raw image:
Code:
assert(package_extract_file("logo.bin", "/tmp/logo.bin),
write_raw_image("/tmp/logo.bin", "logo.bin"),
delete("/tmp/logo.bin"));
Don't forget to sign your zip file. My advice, if you can live with the M logo, just leave it alone!

Motorola Defy Custom boot logo change method..
sorry bad english..

thnx guys, though with every thread some new qestion arises:
How to create a flashable zip file? and How to sign it?
I can live with the the M, however if I change it, my life would be easier!

Generating your update.zip:
- get a update.zip from this forum which is already done.
- Don't extract it, just open it in your favourit zip-tool
- delete all files and folders EXCEPT: META-INF and the suobfolders/subfiles
- place your logo.bin in the root of the zip file
- browse to the META-INF\com\google\android folder
- open the update-script file in a texteditor
- delete all
- place the script xdaid postet above in the file and save it back INTO the zip-file
- rename the whole zip-file to update_unsigned.zip
Sign a update.zip:
- get this: http://www.4shared.com/file/W39CZ9nv/SignApk.html
- extract
- place your update_unsigned.zip in the same folder
- go to the commandline
- browse to that folder
- type the following command:
java -jar signapk.jar certificate.pem key.pk8 update_unsigned.zip update.zip
you'll get a new file called: update.zip and it is signed. You need to sign a zip file each time you'll change the contents. So hopefully your defy still starts after flashing...if not, you can easily fix it with a fixed sbf of your current system.
Tell us if it works

will try it and report back, thnx guys

[Q] How to change Bootanimation in Kyrillo's ROM v10.4

Hey, I'd like to know how to change the bootanimation in Kyrillo's ROM as ive already tried BootAni and some other apps and even tried manually changing the Bootanimation in "data" and "system/media"...didnt work.... it'd be great if i could get some help and if possible in a step by step manner...

1. Find a suitable replacement in bootanimation.zip format.
2.check to make sure this isnt an update zip. (do this by exploring the file, it should consist of only files names "part0" and "desc.txt" and maybe "part1")
3.If it is a update zip, unzip it and extract the bootanimationzip inside it.
4. place this onto sd card
5. use root explorer or similar to move the file to system/media, making sure it is named "bootanimation.zip" it should say something like "file exists, replace it?". say yes.
6. now long press the new file and open up permissions in the menu. set these as rw-r--r--
7. reboot phone and enjoy!
bear in mind that kyrillos 10.4 is based on open fimg, so you may have white patched in the boot animation, just like the one preloaded onto it.

In 10.4, Kyrillos has fixed the white patches in SOME bootanimation, like the stock one.

I did ..
On an extra note:
If you want to avoid having white flashes in your bootanimations on any rom with openFIMG you should look for one with less than 75 frames in the part1 folder. Any frames past that turn white...

Tried didnt work!!....

Hii
Note - your device must be rooted to change your boot animation
1)To do so you need a root explorer (like es file explorer)
2)Download boot animation that u like .
3) open root explorer and Grant root permission
4) now go to device (simply slide from left side )
5) search for system > media > u will see that there's already a bootanimation.zip simply rename it . (Don't delete it )
6) and move the zip file to media that you've downloaded and rename it to bootanimation.zip ...
Now you've changed ur boot animation .....u can check it just reboot ur device..???..

Yes, But You must be rooted but since you asked about it I assume u already did that. So just head over to "Play Store" and search for app named Boot animation changer "Developer""Jrummy", And U can easily change the boot animation.
There is also one other method go to System/media and replace bootanimation. zip file with the one you wanna change your animation to and reboot.But this process is big. So just try the app.There is also a thread for changing the boot logos n recovery log.

Download The Required File.
1-Make sure your device is rooted
2-Download the boot animation file
3-Get into the recovery or flash it using Flashify
4-Install the zip
5-Reboot
6-Enjoy
Warning--------
1-Please do not download the boot animation zip provided in the forum which is posted by (idoit) He just bricked my phone when I flashed It. It just hard brickes the phone and the preloader gets corrupt.
2-Its best to Flash the zip file with TWRP Recovery (Assuming your using Letv 1s)
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE/BRICK, ETC.
I hope my post helps any query please ping me.
