Does anyone know how I can fix the animation for downloading and uploading?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Or know what file/jar I need to edit to get it to work?

That's usually within the framework-res.apk. Without knowing what ROM or anything your using, nobody can really help you.
Its a rooted stock ota.

Update: The installing side animation works but the downloading side doesnt. Ive tried looking at it after decompiling it and I still cant see anything wrong, im just not sure what to look for.

It's not just you... I'm using MikG's rom and having the same issue.
I verified the data in stat_sys_download.xml and stat_sys_upload.xml and everything is fine.
Also like you, the animation seems to stay on anim0 the entire download, but will suddenly animate when at the 'install' phase of something.
For Reference, the files TYPICALLY are in the framework-res file. At least they were in Froyo and the files seem to still be there... maybe they are no longer used and there's an alternate xml controling things?
I'm assuming so, just don't know where to look.

Hello, I have been able to change on every other ROM i have used, but unable to here. Tried pushing using adb, tried using root explorer, and as of just now, I have reloaded the rom with the new bootanimation in it. Sad to say, I looked at the one that was preloaded in the rom, and that isnt even the bootanimation that shows. Ughhh, just getting frustrated, hope someone else knows. And yes, I even tried renaming it sanim.zip.

Boot animations are handled differently on ICS. Instead of bootanimation.zip it uses another format (I tried to look it up but I'm currently running AOKP which uses another format). I myself haven't seen any way to change it yet.
Sorry!

Yeah, I figured that much out. I was hoping I was wrong in my searches, but handled by a .qmg file. I just don't know how to edit to point in the right direction or even know how to read one yet. I was hoping someone out there could point me in the right direction. I have found a forum which explains how it is handled, just doesnt tell me how to read/edit the file. Still searching......

Okay, so an update is required here. Aftery research, all things point to samsung changing to bootani.qmg during froyo rollout. I can find several other threads with .qmg files in them for boot, but nothing with custom boots due to the .qmg software being too mich $$$$. Will keep this ipdated as much as I can. Seems that there is a hex editor that can read them??? But I am at work, so cant try until tonight.
EDIT: This software appears to be unobtainable. You can look at the .qmg file via hex editor, but after reading all day long, these types of files are a waste of time to try and change, and have been a dead topic here on xda for quite some time. It boils down to the kernel whether it will support a different boot animation or not. So.... Now you know how much a dev has to work in order to make us all happy, because believe me, kernels are not easy, nor creating a custom rom in order to match and flow smoothly with it.
MOD: Close this thread if deemed necessary, was just hoping for a good answer, finally found it myself...

so i have for the first time rooted my phone... its a basic root nothing special but im finding that roomtoolbox wont allow me to upload new roms or to alter font or anything really for that matter.
ive heard that a stock roms wont allow you to alter anything such as roms themselves, themses or fonts ect..
being that i am new at this and ive honestly bricked my phone about 14 times and have the method of basic rooting down... anyone care to enlighten me? some pointers in the right direction?

Coming from the HTC evo, I'm disappointed at the lack of both animations for the RAZR m.
Can boot animations made for other phones be used in the RAZR m?

Look in the Android General section of XDA. You'll find tons of animations, but look for ones that fit your device's resolution (960x540, qHD for RAZR M)
You can use any animation that suites you, but those not fit for qHD screens will either be shrunk or too large.

Good advice man thank you! I've tried a couple out and the ones I snagged from the evo forum seem to be working okay but I can't seem to incorporate the audio.
Any ideas? I know it has to be an .oog file yeah?

Thank you so much. Found some really cool ones on that link. I'm still not getting any audio though. Am I doing something wrong? Boot animation flashes and works perfectly fine with the exception of audio.

i don't think any of them contain audio. for some reason, DEVs seem to dislike audio for boot animations. I enjoy them, but given that I rarely reboot my phone now (going on 234 hours since last reboot...I know, I know...I should reboot twice a week, but I'm testing to see how long I can go, and my phone still performs better than ever!), I just don't see the need to add audio. if you wanted to add audio, then you could by inserting a wav file (I think save it as *.ogg or something like that) in the system/media folder (or some place similar to that).
I believe I read that only some kernels allow the sound to be changed on boot animations. So animation creators don't include it in the file normally.

if you can save the file as *.ogg, save it as "PowerOn.ogg" (without quotations, of course), and save it to your /system/media/ui folder

I cant seem to be able to write to that folder using Astro. Says Error: Could not write file.
Do I need to change the folder permissions? If so, how do I go about doing that.

You need root access. Try root explorer

Okay I was able to test out that method and it didn't work for me. Got the oog move to the ui folder and named it powerone.
No dice. Anyone got a different way to make an audio file work for boot up sound?
Sent from my XT907 using xda app-developers app
I have been trying to get boot sound for the longest and it wont work for any rom that is based of cyanogen cause they have remove the option for it. I read it on there web site and said that they think it is annoying and will not put it back in. Only way to get it back is use a rom not based off cyanogen. Here is the link to there answer on there website. https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse...ira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel

Did you name it powerone or poweron? If you added "e" at the end, maybe that's why it didn't work.
OK, so just to start, I'm still new to rooting, adb, roms, and all this fun stuff. I rooted my Nexus 5 six months ago because I got bored and just finished rooting my Ouya and putting cm11 on it. I'm not the greatest at this, but I can follow a good tutorial. Which is why, up until now, I've had little to no problems.
My wife has an LG G2 with my super awesome service provider, Sprint... Sprint wants to charge me $150 for this repair. I know it does not cost that much, and my wife does not want to give up her phone.
I'm sure you are all familiar with this problem. There is a section of the screen, about the shape and size of a search box in the top half of the screen, that since the last update, does not function properly, and *knock on* no longer works. I read all over the web, to access the hidden menu by dialing 5689#*980# . Which I did. But there is no option for touch screen test, or update touch screen firmware. LG is no help. Sprint is no help. XDA is my only option. Don't fail me guys and gals.
Oh, and my wife WILL NOT let me root her phone. She has a fully stock LG G2 for Sprint, and after this will hopefully have a fully functional LG G2.
Without root, you won't be able to replace the hidden menu with the Verizon one that does have the proper section to fix that. You may be able to root try the fix and unroot. This way she doesn't know.

Can you believe, after reading this, I thought hmmm, run it by her. I'd have to unlock the bootloader wouldn't I? And unlocking the bootloader wipes the phone. Can't really hide a brand new used phone from her.
I'd have used towelroot while the exploit was still available but alas, the problem wasn't here while towelroot was an option, but with a patch, came a hole.

OK, so I am a fool. I looked up the root method. I never bother before because she had always said "NO!" No matter how much I begged. So using Stump Root, does that reset the device? I feel like a real butt right now.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
Lol, she caved. I used stump, and hey, nothing deleted. So her phone is now rooted (surprisingly easy to get her to cave), I download the hiddenmenu.APK and moved it over to the app folder and ran the required adb command in terminal emulator. It did its duty. Nothing changed. When I access the hidden menu, its still the sprint one. Help?

Good news, got it to work. Here is what you need to do.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001613264
Here is the hidden menu I used.
From play store grab root browser.
Use it to go to system/app directory. Find hiddenmenu.apk and the .Odex file.
Rename both of the files by putting a 1 at the end. This way you don't lose the original. Now paste the file which is above in the same directory.
Fix permissions to read, write, read, read.
It will look like this.

Save.
Reboot, system upgrading.
Phone, dial 5689#*980#
Go to hw device test
Touch test
Bottom of menu will be touch firmware upgrade
