[Q] How do i reinstall BootAnimation on CM7 Nightly?

I managed to make a mess..
While flashing the new "Beats" mod today on my WFS, i thought id go one beter and change the boot animation. The result being, i have no boot animation at all now; I made a mistake in root manager when swapping & renaming files.
Can anyone help? Ideally on how to install any bootanimation at all...i tried to reverse what i did, to re do what what suggested, but all i have is black screen boot animation!! Thats no fun :-(

It's in /system/media and maybe also /data/local. It's named bootanimation.zip. ideally u can swap it out with any mpdi bootanimation.zip. change permissions to rw- r- r-. There are also cwm flashable zip files out there or u can make one in uot kitchen

Yea tried to swap,but one thing I didn't do was look at permissions. I "think", they are in either /system/media or /data/local, and I put it in wrong place! A flashable one would be real handy,but would it work after my tampering with root manager?
Its all good...Much thanks for taking the time..

It should work
Download beatsbootanimation.zip from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531999
1.Rename beatsbootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip (or beatsbootanimation to bootanimation if the extension is hidden)
2.Copy bootanimation.zip to sdcard
3.Open root explorer and browse to where you copied bootanimation.zip and select "Copy"
4.Browse to system/media -> Press Mount R/W(upper right corner) and select "Paste", if it ask to overwrite select "Yes"
5.Reboot your phone.

Download the attachments and extract the two files out then put them under /system/bin (replace the original two files there)
Get bootanimation.zip from ROMtoolbox and rename the zip into sanim.zip. Put sanim.zip under /system/media
DONE.

Awesome

[Q] How to put new bootanim or/and downanim?

I know it's a stupid question :silly:
but how to put boot/down animations on HTC One X with Jelly Bean ARHD v21.0 installed?
i just don't know the directory AND the steps to do it..
here's the bootanim i want to use:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737369
also, is it possible to use the same animation for downanim too?
please kindly help this little noob ._.

The bootanimation and downanimation path differs from ROM to rom.. so if it's a flashable zip, Make sure the path is set right! Usually it's under /system/media
If it's not a flashable zip, then mount the system as R/W and put the bootanimation.zip file in the respective path and change permissions to rw-r--r-- and then reboot!
If you ask ROM related things in the ROM thread, you will get a fast and accurate reply!
PS: There's a chance that you might not be able to boot into OS if something goes wrong, so it's better you make a nandroid backup before doing anything!

You need to be rooted... and use Root Explorer and navigate to that path... Rename the old bootanimation.zip to something else and follow the steps above...
Don't forget to make a nandroid backup! It's better to be safe than sorry

So i've installed Root Browser app from Google Play..
and i check around the internet to see tips for installing new boot animations
Found this:
"Installation using Root Explorer or any File Explorer:
* Change r/o to r/w (FileSystem as writable)
* Copy the boot & downanimation.zip to /system/customize/resource (or the directory where original files is)
* Change animation permisions to rw-,r--,r--
* Reboot and Enjoy"
i don't get how to change the file system to writable or to change animation permissions
is there someone that would like to explain to me how? thanks!

Open Root Explorer... Navigate to /system/media or whichever is your path for the bootanimation.zip
On the upper part of the screen your will this : Mounted as R/O... Just beside this there will be a button which says "Mount as R/W"..
Select that and then copy paste the new zip there...
To change permissions, press and hold the file in root exploer and click on change permissions and set the correct permission...

OH MEN ITS AWESOME!!1!
-Thanks-

Great! Enjoy the Bootanim!

[Watch dogs boot animation][New version][All devices]

New Watch dogs Boot animation
For Roms with CM theming
1.Download the apk from the link
2.Install that app
3.Go to settings>themes>boot animation>select watchdogs boot animation and apply
4.Reboot and enjoy
For Roms without CM theming[Root Needed]
1) Download the Apo from the link.
2) Download any root explorer of your choice.( I prefer Es file explorer)
3) Navigate to the downloaded apk and long press it.
4) Under the 3 dot menu select extract to and extract the apk.
5) Now you will find the bootanimatio.zip file in assets folder.
6) Now go to the root folder and navigate through system>media. Once there locate your current bootanimation.zip file
7) Long-press your current bootanimation.zip file, and click copy, as we'll want to have a backup just in case. Paste it wherever convenient for you OR simply change the extension from .zip to .bak
8) Once your new bootanimation.zip has been selected for moving, navigate back to system > media and paste it there. You'll have to overwrite your current animation zip, but that's fine since you have a backup in case something goes wrong. Go for it.
9) For many of you, the previous step will be the last step. But, if for any reason you're still stuck with you old animation, you can try aligning the permissions of your newly-copied bootanimation.zip file with the permissions in the system/media folder. In our case, those were rw-r-r. Just long-press your new bootanimation.zip file and click Permissions and change them until they fit.
10)Reboot and enjoy.:good:

Unfortunately that won't help.

[Boot Animation] [TW] [SAMSUNG] Change Boot Animation and Sound

Hi, Many of you curious about changing boot animation in samsung mobile. You know samsung uses qmg like boot animations. So it is complex to create own boot animation than creating zip boot animation.In this tutorial I have replaced the qmg files with zip boot animations.
I have tested on my Samsung Galaxy Core Prime. It should work on any Samsung Kitkat Variants mobile. Please test and report here.
Please make a NANDROID BACKUP before modifying the system files
For that just download the files from here and place it right folder and set the PERMISSIONS.
1. Place this file in system/bin folder and set the permission -rwxr-xr-x (See other files permissions system/bin folder)
Please note it disables qmg boot animations and enable zip boot animations.
[[ https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3-NCstEO255cVM1b0xpejd3Nmc/view?usp=docslist_api ]]
2. Download the bootanimation.zip and place it system/media folder and set the permission -rw-r--r-- (see other files permissions in system/media folder)
[[ https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3-NCstEO255VktzQU9MTGlSRVU/view?usp=docslist_api ]]
Or you can download any custom zip boot animations. Just google and download and place them in right place
3. To change boot sound just create a ogg file naming PowerOn.ogg (don't much than 20s) and place it in system/media/audio/ui and set permissions -rw-r--r-- (see other files' permission in the same folder)
To disable boot sound rename the PowerOn.ogg file as you wish like PowerOn.ogg.bak
Here the screen shots for the permissions

Pls note. In samsung zip animations are not supported. They are placed in system/media in the name of samsungboot.qmg blah blah. If you want to replaced the qmg bootanimation with zip bootanimation you have to read the whole the thread pls. Again. I am busy in studies now. So I can not make a video for you. Anyway In this thread just change your bootanimation with custom zip animation.
If you want to change bootanimation (qmg format) (mine trick is zip bootanimation on samsung device which is easy to create). Follow this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2611682
Hope u understand qmg & zip like bootanimations
