[Q] Trouble Changing Boot Animation

Im running CM 6.1.1-Stable with pershoots kernel (rooted via gfree method) and I am trying to use the Droid X boot animation on my phone. However, I keep getting the default android bootanimation with silver text with the word "android" and some intermittent shining of the text.
I downloaded the bootanimation from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=710204
I copied both the audio and the bootanimation.zip files to /system/media according to these instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9118652&postcount=12
It erases the cyanogenmod boot animation, but instead i get the default silver android text bootanimation. I tried deleting the system/media/bootanimation.zip file and placing the new bootanimation.zip and audio in /data/local but this resulted in the same default bootanimation.
Am I missing something here? Most people seem to be able to easily change their bootanimation by pushing the file to /data/local, but for me, the cyanogenmod bootanimation in /system/media seems to take priority. Either way, pushing the bootanimation to either /system/media or /data/local is not working. Any ideas?
Also, do I need to do anything special to get the droid sound to work besides pushing it along with the bootanimation.zip file?

Anyone? Id really appreciate any insight that can be offered!

it's because the first link is for changing the boot animation
the second link is for changing the splash image
you need to find the directions for overwriting the bootanimation, not the splash image.
fwiw, i was looking for the instructions when i found this thread

here's the instructions you're looking for
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10230516&postcount=26

Are you doing an ADB Remount? Try this:
Code:
adb devices
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
If it doesn't work for the /data/local then do the following:
Code:
adb devices
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
NOTE: I put it in the code box because essentially that's what it is. Make sure when you do the ADB Push you put the full file path where the bootanimation.zip is located
Reboot the phone to see if it takes the change. Either that, or you can always try an ADB Shell > bootanimation. This will show the boot animation, and then just CTRL + C to stop it. But if the ADB shell doesn't show it, definitely try a reboot and let us know.
Good luck

Still the same

I have exactly the same problem with my desire S. Nothing seems to be working apart from the regular android animation (not even the original rom animation which i re copied). Was this ever solved?

[Q] coredroid 5.3 downanimation

Alright starting to get a bit frustrated while trying to put a downanimation on my DHD. I know in Sergio stated in his FAQ that the downanimation and bootanimation can now be found in /data/local and I really liked the coredroid bootanimation but wanted to use my bios one to go with my windows troll splash img.
Anyway I have converted the coredroid boot into a downanimation by changing images from jpg to png and then using the method found in Monx®'s thread to make sure it was zipped properly. But just comes up with a blank screen on reboot or shutdown.
Tried a couple of others and still get a blank screen, so just wondering if any1 else has the same problem?

it comes blank because zip file aint properly zipped... did u changed compression method to store in winrar ? or just send me the stuff and i will get it done for you and save u the hassel
Edit : oh snapp.. just noticed.. the file you pushed to data/local is it named bootanimation or downanimation ? if its downanimation.. then rename it to bootanimation... downanimations are not in data/loca

Thanks for the quick reply. I have attached my coredroid downanimation.zip which I had renamed to downanimation.zip before pushing it. As i said, I made sure compression was set to store.
I first pushed this to /data/local as it says to in Scabes' Coredroid FAQ

Where is Boot Animation, Boot Sound and Shutdown Animation Located?
Since V1.1, they are now located in DATA\LOCAL\...

Then got a blank screen with both the coredroid downanimation and some other shutdown animations I have found in the DHD theme and apps section.
Then tried the chmod 777 to /system/customize/resource and was getting a blank screen and now cant turn the phone off, just keeps rebooting
EDIT:
couldnt attach downanimation haha

Not a reboot cycle, just wont turn off. I can use the phone but when I try to turn off the phone with power button to either shutdown or reboot, I get blank screen where down animation should b, give it a few seconds and straight away bootanimation comes up with out my splash image.
Used recovery and I'm back to my last backup before I started playing around with with boot/down animations and circle battery mod. Then push bootanimation back now that works.
Have yet to retry the downanimation yet.
Also just wondering does downanimation images have to be .png? or can they be jpg

i wanted to do it for ya but too many pics in the zip.. gona take me long time but im really busy sorry... but lemme make you a quick guide...
1. change all the pics to .png format
2. rename the pics to the name of the folder.. in ur case folder is coredroid so name the pics to coredroid_01.png to everyone just change the numbers to the count of the pics
3. after u do that put coredroid folder and desc.txt in one folder.. now zip these two files.. tip zip and compression to store in winrar ... then do the same again tip zip. then chagne to store.. but then in the uper tabs click on files.. and then below see file paths.. change it to donot store file paths..
4. now double click the zip file to open with winrar... and delete all the pics except coredroid folder and desc.txt.. make sure .zip is renamed to downanimation.zip if it isnt already
5. get root explorer and paste it to where ever ur downanimation.zip is and Hoalah!!! Njoy

Custom Boot Animation Question

OK, so I just downloaded and installed Sinister's latest ROM, if you haven't checked it out it is awesome. The only problem I am having is that I can not get my boot animation to install. Is there a new way with the latest updates to install the boot animations (I have the Android pissing on the Apple Logo)???

Have you tried using adb to push the bootanimation.zip? May want to check with the ROM dev on the proper name for bootanimation.zip (I know it is different on Sense 1.0 roms) as well as the proper location to push to.
See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Nexus_One/Guides_&_Tutorials#Updating_boot_animation

The file will be in either /system/customize/resource or /data/local. Rename your bootanimation.zip to the name of the previous one and you should be good to go.

Is not the bootanimation that has the problem not installing its the rom that has a bug and it wont let you mount system as writable but i believe hes working on a fix

Change boot animation on Oppo Find7

Hi,
I'm trying to change my Oppo Find 7's bootanimation but I haven't never succeed, I have the root and I've verificated it, and I tried this ways:
- I put the bootanimation.zip in the folder system/media but it didn't work.
- I put the bootanimation.zip in the folder data/local but it didn't work.
- I tried to flash the bootanimation by the gummy twrp but it didn't work.
- I tried some (like 5 apps) apps from the playstore but all of them says '' Installing done'' but I rebooted the oppo and I always viewed the Oppo's bootanimation.
Who can help me?
ps.: I'm italian so correct me if I did some mistakes, and I tried all this ways also with other downloaded bootanimation but it always didn't work.
Thank you so much

Hope you like it..

Thanks man!!

Clean awesome bootanimations works fine with our Lenovo A6000
First of all, credit goes to KonradIC13, he has made all these boot animation, I am just sharing them here..
These all are Boot Animation not boot logo.
These are not meant to be flashed.
Do not try to flash these from recovery
Rename the zip file to bootanimation.zip ( Remove/delete it's serial no eg. bootanimation1.zip rename to : bootanimation.zip)
Using root explore or other app that can browse file ( like ES explorer or X-plore)
Access folder: root\system\media\ and
simply copy and paste the renamed zip bootanimation.zip to folder root\system\media\ where original bootanimation.zip is stored
(backup your old boot animation zip and then overwrite the new is recommended if want your previous boot animation in future ).
Reboot, you've new boot animation , Enjoy :good:

How to flash please ... instruct me in Detail

Do not Flash. It's not a flashable zip.

then tick all RW radio botton > OK )
and copy and paste the zip file in folder root\system\media\ and Replace
Reboot...... Done :good:
