Hi All,
I am having trouble finding a solution to fixing a boot animation issue. I've searched the forums here and the solutions I've tried haven't worked thus far.
I have a DHD running CM 7.0.2 and a black screen where the boot animation should be.
I've ensured there is "bootanimation.zip" in /system/media and /data/local with permissions rw-r-r on the file.
Can anyone suggest something else to check please?
(I have tried multiple bootanimation files in multiple locations).
Thanks!
Dan.
The location of the boot animation & permissions are correct.
Have you modified the boot animation in any way?

Thanks for the reply, Andy. No, I haven't stuffed around with the zip file. The only thing I have done is rename the originals to "bootanimation.zip". I find it bizarre that this is happening with several different boot animations.
What were the original file names?

One example is "HQ_bootanimation.zip".
Have you tried re-flashing CM7? There is no need to perform a wipe.

I have not, been flashing myself silly lately (so to speak).
I assume I'll have to re-install all apps again if I do that without Titanium Backup etc...?
No no, all your data and apps will not be touched. Just flash it without wiping anything.

Andy, thanks for this. I reflashed cm7 and as it booted up the animation worked straight away!

So I was screwing around trying to push a boot animation, deleted the bootanimation.zip in system/media and now all I have is the android boot ani.
Anyone know where I can find the bootanimation.zip from system/media, so I can at least flash boot animations again?
Thanks
It'll be in the install zip for whichever ROM you're currently using. Same place /system/media/.

I tried that and also tried one from a theme, no go. In the end I flashed the hc2.0 theme again and that fixed me right up.
Hi,
I'm messing with boot and down animations. I stole the file from Robocik's ROM (which I'm using and love) and created my own images for it and what have you and have a working bootanimation of my own. I'm very happy with it.
However, the attached down animation doesn't work at all. It stops my phone from rebooting properly and instead of rebooting, it blacks the screen to the bootanimation and then boots again. This isn't a full reboot (no splash1 logo then haptic vibrate).
If I log into adb shell and navigate to the system/customize/resource/ folder and rm downanimation.zip this deletes the animation and restores a proper reboot.
Could someone download the animation and help me figure out why it doesn't work? I've included the Robocik one for comparison, as that one does work properly.
Thanks in advance
Bump
Any ideas anyone?
I'm thinking of renaming the files to 0001-0025.jpg and seeing if that works.
Just bumping my thread. Surely someone knows what's going on here?
I can't understand why the Original works, and all I've done in my modification is change the images. I've kept the same format and filenames.

Your downanimation.zip is here.
Good luck

Kryten2k35 said:
Thanks, but, how do I check permissions? I'm not that adept with Linux, so I'm very new to the adb shell.
Also, I threw this into /data/local/ where I think the downanimations and such should be (I think they start in system/customize/resource/ and then get moved on install) but it still didn't work. I'm going to try the resource folder and see where that gets me, but it could be that I didn't manually change permissions. I can't see my data/local/ folder in ASTRO.

Which rom (LeeDroid, Baadnewz, Robocik, Coolexe...) and which hboot (a2sd, cm7...) you use?

I'm using Robocik's RCMix S v2.0, but I'm using the wmjam's modded version which gives D2EXT. As far as I know it's the stock hboot version. I am S-OFF'd using Alpha-rev, but again, I went stock.
Thanks
Hey guys, I flashed the new Malice Rom (3/20/12), and I was wondering how I can switch the zombie boot animation. I know where to put the zip file, (/system/media) Somehow I cannot seem to get other ones to work. I made sure the replacement files mirror the original. Do I need to flash the entire file as opposed to just replacing the files using root explorer? Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I renamed it to bootanimation.zip, etc.
Copy and then Change permision file in root explorer rw-r-r

Ok, maybe it cause your custom boot animation not valid..

Well, I tried a couple other ones, and no dice. Could it be that the rom itself only allows that one(or none)?
Download rom toolbox and get the boot animations from there. By far the easiest way.

when i add my themed/modded apks to my ROM.zip and flash,it bootloops...when i flash them in a zip via recovery the apks work fine. but if i put them into the rom and flash the rom,it bootloops...ive tried copying the original resources.arsc file to modified apks but still same result...i made sure they kept the original META-INF folder when compiling with apk-multi-tool....any ideas on how i can get this sucker to boot correctly?? im tired of taking my otterbox off to pull the battery.lol any help would be MUCH appreciated..
meta-inf was my first question, updater script ok???

There's got to be something in the zip with the apps that your missing?
What os are you using and what method are you using to unzip and zip the rom

Also did you try fixing permissions after boot loop?

WEAPON OF CHOICE-apk multi-tool
TEAR DOWN MODE-decompile/recompile
i always keep original META-INF since theyre system apps..
just simple theming and a couple minor mods added.recompile.Done.
like i said before,it works 100% when flashing in Theme.zip, but if i add it to a ROM.zip it loops.. it makes ZERO sense that it isnt working.even after copying over the original Resources.arse to modified apk. the Meta-Inf is already the original so i didnt try copying over from the original. i figured that if it works when flashing in recovery,it should work when inserting into ROM.....could be wrong though.

i didnt try fixing permissions after flshing..i went into a bootloop so i had to pull battery...Or are you asking if i fixed permissions IMMEDIATELY after flashing ROM, BEFORE booting into the rom? not exactly sure how you meant it.

Right, fix permissions in recovery after flashing but before restarting.

Has nothing to do with permissions or recovery...
And I did not see this mentioned so I assume this is the problem...
You are including Meta-Inf but that is also directly tied to android manifest.xml
So make sure you are dragging the old meta-inf and manifest as they must match. Thats what forms the signature.
On a dirty flash the signatures were already matched in the ROM so they were not checked again.
On a clean flash the signatures are not matching hence system apps not loading causing bootloops or constant boot animation.....

Hey guys I am running cyanogenmod and other then some small issues it runs great. I have made a theme for myself using android studio and the boot animation worked fine on my nexus 5 but on my nexus 5x the boot animation doesn't work. I have tried other themes and those boot animations don't work either it just uses the default cyanogen boot animation. I am not sure what's going on. I'll attach my theme if anyone wants to try it for themself.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks
Nobody else had this issue? I have tried flashing back to stock then back to cyanogenmod with no luck?
Try manually installing the bootanimation.zip with a root file explorer and setting the correct permissions.

Doing it manually does work. But I can't get it to work via the cyanogenmod theme settings which I would much prefer. Any idea why?

I have tried other boot animations with no luck either so I doubt its my boot animation. Also that animation worked on my neuxs 5. Maybe if someone reading this with a nexus 5x on cyanogenmod can try my theme and see if the boot animation works.?
