Rooted Evo 4g - Boot Animations not seeming to work, black screen result.

Hey guys. I am quite new at the forums and I currently own an EVO 4G which I recently rooted with S-Off and also have Root Explorer installed.
I seem to be having an issue with replacing my Boot Animation. I have searched google far and wide and tried different methods of replacing the animation and have had no luck. I see the EVO 4G HTC white screen and then either a blank black screen or the default flashing "Android" symbol until my phone finishes booting up and Im sent to my main page.
I have tried placing files initially into my Data/Local page but then realized that my boot animation files are located in my system/customize/resource file under the name "spc_bootanimation.zip. The first time, I renamed the original file, but then replaced it when the new zip file did not work. I have tried replacing that file countless times with three to four different renamed boot animation zips with turning "write" and "read only" settings on and off, changing all sorts of capitalizations, ect. None have had any luck. They replace just fine, but have no effect on the phone's animation. Ive also deleted the "Final" mp3 and one of the jpg backgrounds that were in that folder. I also adjusted the permissions to what they need to be and still no luck.
These are the current animations Ive tried.

The last played the audio but nothing else happened.
Any help on this matter would be appriciated. Im hoping it is just something simple I overlooked.

Put this in the search box...."custom boot help"
It explains in this page on how I successfully booted up a boot animation. If I helped you hit the thanks button

Im going to try putting the spc_bootanimation.zip in my data/local folder and the SPC_animation_final.mp3 file in the system/customize/resource folder. This is what you did, right? Just to make sure?
Also, did you change the permission on the bootanimation file? Thank you again. I really want to get this working.
Update: I tried the above instructions and it still didnt work. Instead of the black screen, im getting the stock flashing android one. Also, the sound effect cut out. When I put both back into the system/customize/resource folder, I get the blank black screen and the sound cuts back on. I still dont know how to get the animation to work though. Any ideas?

if using root explorer
you need to unzip it and take out the bootanimation.zip and android_audio.mp3, the mp3 file gets move with root explorer to system/customize/resource and the Htc_bootanimation file gets moved to data/local.

Permissions permissions permissions... rw-r--r--

My files are named a bit different but I did as you did putting the spc_bootanimation.zip in the data/ local folder and the mp3 in the system/ customize/ resource folder and still nothing. I get three flashing android symbol meaning it does not recognizea replacement file at all. .
I did play with the permissions and used the same pattern everyone else has been using. It is all three in the first Collum checked and then the next one to the right on the "user" tab. Is that right?

all i did was put bootanimation.zip into /system/customize/resource/ and it worked fine

That was the first thing I tried.. sadly it didn't work. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong as I've tried it quite a few different ways. I either get the blank black screen or three android flashing screen

What Rom are you using ? Or is it stock ? I have it under data/local named hTC_bootanimation.zip the other Rom I used I had it under system/custumize/resource named just bootanimation.zip. notice that spelling and caps count.
I can't post pictures but the permissions should look like an upside Down "L" or a flip flopped "7"
Hopes this helps. Don't know what else to say

Rename the file to the bootanimation. Use es file manager [make sure r/w is enabled from the settings menu] or root explorer [enable r/w from the button at the top], then reboot. You may have bad files, because I know that one works, as I'm currently using it.

I'm currently using s-off. I made sure to keep the permissions in that order. I've also tried renaming files and nothing works even after checking spelling and case. My stock boot animation was listed under "spc_bootanimation.zip". I renamed each of my downloaded ones that and replaced. I have tried all case of 'spc'. . I've even taken "spc" out of the name completely. Was I supposed to rename the zip something else?. Also, the desc file is supposed to be in the zip file right. Mine all are but I wanted to check

Once u download the zip file, extract it and take out the bootanimation file place it in data/local and then take the audio clip out and make sure to change the last letters to mp3 and set that into the system/customize/resource. That should do it. And make sure those permissions are set to what it needs to be. Let me know if that works.

And you deleted the the other bootanimation file right? or named it differently so it won't read the current bootanimation.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

Yes indeed, sure did. I did this yesterday as well and it no longer recognizes my bootanimation file in the data/local folder, which is why I think the stock android one comes up. It only seems to recognize it in the system/customize/resources folder. Maybe it is specifically for the EVO. Im not sure.

Try a different file to download. Maybe its not meant for the EVO. If it was it could be a bad download file. But i am running out of ideas. For sure it has to be the file.

I just downloaded another boot animation specifically meant for the evo and it came with a folder called META-INF that you are supposed to put into the root of your SD card. I did that and it worked! The animation I am trying to use though does not include this and maybe that's why it wont work.
I wanted to know if anyone has an EVO 4g and can see if this boot animation works for you.....This is the animation that does not work that I am trying to use. It is the animation that would not work for me. Maybe someone can see why it wont work for the EVO.

Where in the hell did you get that it has trafficview.apk in it and an mp3 file and a desc but no Bootanimation.zip

Yikes, I must have forgotten to put the bootanimation in the zip. This is ALL that came with the download. I zipped it into the spc_bootanimation.zip. It came with a desc, part0 folder, and traffic app file.
Let me know if anything can be altered to make it work on the EVO. Thanks again.

here try this i resized them, ran through pngoptimizer and fixed the desc.

[MOD][THEME][APP]Original Samsung Galaxy S II Boot Animation and Shutdown

This is the boot animation with audio and shutdown with audio from the original samsung galaxy s II. in my opinion they are much cleaner, and classier than some of the others... I like a simple clean look.

Sorry Guys, I thought they were done uploading, apparently not...
I love the power on and power off animations, clean, simple, and no carrier branding...

Thanks was really looking for a replacement to Sprints splash during shutdown.

Thanks will try these when I get home.

There is no bootanimation.zip or sanim.zip in this folder currently. Does that matter? If you have it installed how do you not know which name is correct for it to work?
Also, there is a bootsamsung.qmg file in here, I would think that is the animation file?

I am running Midnight ROM 2.2, with Kernal that came with it...
What Rom are you on? - I guess I should have been more clear... If you are stock rooted, this may not work, depending on what kernal you are running. the Kernal needs to support boot animation. Unfortunately I dont have the original Galaxy S II qmg files. I am sure they are out there, but the only way to test them is to install the bootsamsung.qmg from a GSII in the same location, and overwrite the existing. do you have cwm on your phone? can you make a backup first? I highly recomend you do that!~
As far as power on, just replace the poweron.ogg file, or you can convert the wav file i included to an ogg file with a converter, I dont think that will matter. the sound should work either way.
as far as the shutdown animation and sound...
I am updating the OP Now~ sorry for the confussion...

Do you have any shutdown animation currently? or does it just say powering down when you turn it off? if it just says powering down or off... then you dont have a shutdown animation, which is why it isnt there...
Post Back your results!!!
All I can say is try it, if it doesnt work delete it. just remember, these are the locations...
Video Shutdown:shutdown.qmg - Paste in system/media/video/shutdown folder
Audio Shutdown: PowerOff.wav - paste in system/media/audio/ folder

Thanks for the shutdown animation Op.

Okay, thanks for some clarification. I am on Stock Pulled kernel with CWM5. I was able to get it working with a minor change to your steps.
Here is what I did to get it to work:
1) Download Original SGSII without boot animation support.zip file in OP
2) Unzip contents to location on phone (internal or external is fine)
3) Nandroid backup in CWM5 just in case
4) Using Root Explorer, copy bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg to system/media. Fix permissions to be like other files.
5) Copy PowerOn.wav to system/etc. Fix permissions
6) Copy shutdown.qmg to system/media/video/shutdown. Fix permissions
7) Copy PowerOff.wav to system/media/audio/ui (this is different than stated in OP) Fix permissions
8) Reboot and should be good to go.
Also, just a note, the PowerOn.wav file is exactly the same as the one that already exists on the stock rom. It is already the Samsung sound so no need to really copy that file if you are on stock.
Thanks for helping us get rid of the ugly Sprint boot animation!!

Awesome... Glad you got it working!
I wish I knew how to compile a flashable zip for CWM. It would be easier for others if they could just flash the corresponding zip for the ROM they were on...

Thanks for the modified install procedure. Works for me now.
I replaced the PowerOn.wav with a .wav file I found at freesounds.org. It's quite different and fresh/new!
Let me know if you want the file, ahhhh screw it, I included it here for you...
Just rename it PowerOn.wav of course...

That's exactly what I am looking for since wiped rom a long time ago.Thanks a lot for sharing.

Thanks for posting this and working on it! Working great on stock rooted ROM and stock kernel.

I tried the steps outlined by satur9ine, but wasn't able to successfully change the boot/shutdown animation. I'm using root explorer; and copying the files over to the named locations but still no dice. My current boot animation (android) remains. Any suggestions?

Followed these steps, mainly the Audio Shutdown directions and now I have the shutdown audio.

I created a flashable for stock roms and I can post if someone needs it. I can make one for modded roms but I need to know what the difference is and what files aren't required.
---------- Post added at 12:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:55 AM ----------
OK OP if these flashables work for everyone, feel free to add to the OP.
Ok here is the boot animation. I have tested and it works for stock roms, custom roms version was tested and works. I did not create this animation, I just zipped it for flashing.

[TEAM REJECTZ][How to ]6/14/2012[BOOT ANIMATIONS] SMALLVILLE "kick ace"

UPDATE 4th POST
This is just a start of some of my favorite boot animations. These boot animations are raw. I did not make them flashable because CWM zips are kernel sensitive and this way everyone with a kernel that has added boot support can use them. The PLAYSTATION boot animation has power on sound too!!!! Great for the new FF11 kernel (thanks Agat63, sfhub) and for Mijjahz new Blend No Name (FF11) AND the (el29) version of Mijjahz Blend 3.0. * Thanks goes out to mijjahz for helping me out, and for his awsome ROMS. Of course as long as your kernel provides boot animation support these will work. I've tested all the boot animations here and that I will post later. Also this is just the start to a collection that I've gained from everywhere on the net so I'm not sure who made all these. Thanks goes out to all the animators who made these as well. Also, some of these I HAVE made, so thanks to me as well lol. Ok so here we go.
Devs: I don't mind if you want to use one of my boot animations, just let me know first and give me credit on your thread.
1. download zip to your sd card
2. Make nandroid back up
3. push to /system/media with root explorer or ES file exporer. (if its the PowerOn .wav for boot anim push to /system/etc. edit:For ICS PowerOn.wav and PowerOn.ogg are required! Just make a copy of the wave file and rename the extention to .ogg and place in </system/etc> with the PowerOn.wav)
4. Delete old boot animation.zip and sanim.zip.
5. Rename your boot animation.zip of choice to "bootanimation.zip"
6. Make a copy of your new "bootanimation.zip" and paste there in /system/media. Rename the copy "bootanmimation_copy.zip" to sanim.zip
7. Reboot.- enjoy
Always make a nandroid backup when working with the system files and bootloader. I am not responsible for what you do.. laddie dah.. you know the drill.

UPDATE 5/16/12 MORE KICK ACE BOOT ANIMATIONS
Here are a few more boot animations. I got some poweron sound wav files for fun. Its like they forgot about them or something. Anyway, to change your BOOT SOUND..
DIRECTIONS:
make sure you mount your sd card in root explorer as read/write
1. Download wav file to your sd with your boot animation. after pushing boot animation as described in the above post, go to the folder that the wave file is in. Copy paste into "/system/etc."edit:For ICS PowerOn.wav and PowerOn.ogg are required! Just make a copy of the wave file and rename the extention to .ogg and place in </system/etc> with the PowerOn.wav)
2. delete old "PowerOn.zip"/"PowerOn.ogg". Paste wav file of your boot animation.
3.Hard press on the wav file and rename it to "PowerOn.zip/.ogg". If you don't rename it exactly with the capital "P" and"O", then it WONT WORK.
4.Reboot. ENJOY

Coming Soon!! "DC Comics themed" bootanimations!!
I made this from the official movie trailor. I also rotated it 90 degrees so it would have that widescreen look to it.So when you boot up with this boot animation, rotate the screen. Now without further babbling from me......
Here is The Hunger Games
Dont forget boot sound-->HungerGames_PowerON

Update!! 6/14/2012
This update is one that I've always wanted to do. Also if you love it let me know. I've scaled it like the Hunger games in the 90degree rotation like a wide screen. So for all you SUPERMAN fans out there..I present..

The.wav file is pushed to "/system/etc". Just copy paste the file there and then hard press and change file permissions to that of all the other system files. If you already have sound at boot up then delete that wav. File and replace it. Also make sure to rename to "PowerOn.zip" I'm pretty sure blazer 4.1 doesn't have a sound file so just paste it in /system/etc. Also if my memory serves blazer 4.1 supports boot animation unless you flashed a stock kernel or other kernel that doesn't support boot animation over the kernel provided in blazer, so to answer your question, yes all the boot animations will work no matter what ROM you are on providing that you have a kernel that supports boot animation, from ICS to GB. Just as long as you're not on a stock kernel. Im using rogue 1.4.1... gunslinger I believe. The only stock kernel I know of that supports boot animation is the new (ICS ) FE10 modified kernel with UN-Locked recovery.(thanks sfhub) Give me thanks if I helped you out.

Thanks Timmetal bout to try it now..

I appreciate the support.

I just get a black screen and no sound. I've tried sound file as PowerOn.zip and PowerOn.ogg. If I flash another boot ani from one made to be kernel flashable they work. I'm baffled.

I made the instructions in the op pretty specific I thouht, but it still might be confusing. Ok as for three black screen. Means it wasnt installed incorrectly. Make sure you delete both of the original files in/system media. BOTH the bootanimation.zip and the sanim.zip file. Now you need to replace those files. take your new boot animation and rename it to "bootanimation.zip" with out the quotes. Now copy paste it /system/media. Now take that same file you just copied and copy it again to same location. rename the second bootanimation.zip to"sanim.zip". Now hard press on both of your newly renamed files and set the permeissions to that of the rest of the system folders. . ..
Reboot...
Now for sound. You had it named right. PowerOn.wav but it needs tho be pushed to /system/etc. Reboot. You good buddy. Now if it still doesn't work and you followed this specifically, then you need a kernel that supports boot animation. I would tell you how tho hack a stock kernel but its a little complicated i think. Hope this works out for you man.

Can't get sound to work on CM9.
Named right. Permissions set.

Honestly, I felt your instructions were very clear as well.
I'm using sfhub's "plus" kernel, which supports boot animation, I can flash a few other animations that were packaged for for install from recovery. I definitely had the PowerOn.zip(.ogg) file in /system/etc, and verified it would play as a .ogg using vlc.
One little deviation that I did have to apply - it is the death star ani that I want to use, but it's several MB to large for my stock el16 + ICS theme, so I removed about half the frames, but renumbered them all meticulously. Maybe I screwed the pooch there but I didn't see anything about the file structure that would indicate that. I'm going to try it all again. My best guess is that I have the permissions wrong. I even tried packaging them for recovery flash, but I fear I'm reaching there.. it flashed but still no go.
Could it because I'm manipulating the zip contents and re-zipping from windows?
Thanks for your help, these anis are awesome.

It seems like you are putting too much into it. If you are trying to rebuild the animation you may have to edit the script file associated with it to compensate for frame speed. Tell me how that turns out. There are several online converters to help with a project like that. I will not write a whole tutorial on how to make a boot animation at this time. Maybe a future post. There is a nice batch file you can use called boot animation creator. You can find it by using the xda search tool.

I've tried 2 different kernels that have boot animation support and it's not working any way I try to update it. I follow your instructions exactly. I use Explorer ES, I copy the file twice renaming bootanimation.zip and sanim.zip in the system/media folder after deleting the old ones and it's just the stock SG2 boot load screen. What am I doing wrong? I'm definitely rooted, I've tried 3 different permissions settings from different folders in the area. Everything else is still fine I just can't change my boot screen, any tips?
Specifically I'm on FE16 Repack with ACS recovery. I also tried FD26 one with rogue and it didn't work either. Same stock boot screen.
Second edit - I thought I could extract the zip and use that bootanimation.zip but I still get the same stock animation.

OK, firstly, let me suggest to try and use root explorer instead of ES file explorer. Es file explorer its a good program, but ive had issues while trying to over write files with it. Make sure that r/w is mounted on the sd. Also ensure that it has super user permissions prior to attempting to over write. You can check if your file explorer has su/permissions by looking in your app drawer and clicking on super user. This will bring up a list of apps that have su enabled. If your file explorer doesn't have super user permissions it will look like its over writing the file when its not. Finally if none of that works, try going into /system/bin/samsungani and rename toto something else... (i.e. samsungani.old)then rename /system/bin/bootanimation to /system/bin/samsungani.
Then it should change the boot animation kernel settings and load whatever bootanimation is at /system/media/sanim.zip, unless the kernel wasn't built from source. (some ICS leaks, AOKP/AOSP/CM9). You can also try running Calkins modified format to wipe your dalvik cashe after installing a new boot animation but PRIOR to rebooting. Some times data has a way of Swyping through from one ROM to the next while flashing. Hopefully one of these suggestions will get your boot animation up and running. Lemme know how it goes and gimme thanks if I helped you out.

Custom Boots

Have a nandroid backup just in case something goes wrong, Ive softbricked before many times actually just for trying to change a bootanimation. It can happen.
If you already have been using data/local for install location and its working for you great. I just noticed that i used my steps below but left out changing installation directory, so ive been installing to my data/local and my changes have been taking effect. After installing bootanimations i noticed my location was data/local then i went to change it to system/media and install a animation and nothing changes. So i am using data/local now as my target, im guessing if i were just to delete the boot zip from data/local my system/media bootzip will play only because i have a bootanimation.zip already installed to that directory as well, im not going to try it yet but maybe on a rainy day with downtime on my hands ill try it. But after all said the locations of install are working just fine, in the OP instructions are just one way of setting a valid default installation. Im guessing which ever location you started using first is the location you should continue to use.

you can download xxxxxxxxxxGIF.zip and rename the extension to .gif and then use RomToolBox to Automate the install. You need help just ask ill do my best.
INSTRUCTIONS BELOW
NOTE:"Before using romtoolbox"Open romtoolbox go to bootanimations, press your menu softkey, press install location, change common locatioms value to /system/media/ select ok. Now If you are using a stock rom but a kernel that supports boot animation (and you are rooted), using rootexplorer or a similiar app go into system/bin. Find samsungani and rename it to samsungani.bak. Now find bootanimation in system/bin and rename bootanimation to samsungani. Thats it. Now all bootanimations correctly placed in the system/media will work upon boot... "
After the above has been setup on your device you can now navigate to your gif file in a file explorer app. Once you click the gif file window pops up and use gif to bootanimation, then choose to install..
or
ONLY IF YOU ALREADY COMPLETED THE STEPS ABOVE;
If you already completed the above steps with naming samsungai to samsungani.bak, and bootanimation to samsungani in the /system/bin, and changed location install to /system/media/ then you can download the bootanimation.zip and manually copy paste it into /system/media/ via root explorer or you could even open romtoolbox goto bootanimations then choose local tab then find the bootanimation.zip click it then choose install, then reboot your phone.
Because this site has bugs when uploading i have to name bootanimations over and over again (they get overwritten) so you have to rename the bootanimation after downloading to bootanimation.zip

All I get is a black screen with the original boot sound. I am using AGATS recovery

how did you install it what did you do exactly? Are u still able to boot your phone or is it stuck?

DC-MARVEL Bootanimation.zip [720p ]

British graphic designer Christian Tailor created this awesome animation of stylized Marvel and DC Comics heroes and villains, and now you can use it as the boot animation on your Android device.
It was later turned into default start up animation by Brian Roberts
HTML:
https://plus.google.com/+BrianRoberts
and later into a flashable zip by Ronald Valdes
HTML:
https://plus.google.com/+RonaldValdes
.
Now all I did was I took Christian Tailor's bootanimation which was 1080p and converted it into 720p which will fit perfectly on S3 or any 720p devices.
Here is the link to download,

Install Instructions:
1. Your device need to be rooted. It won't work if your device is not rooted. How to root? Please check online. I hope samsung device users have custom rom with root and not stock rom with root. I have no idea how it works in other brand android devices, so proceed only if it is similar process as you find below.
2. This is not a flashable file, so you have to copy it into your system/media .
3. Use X-plore, make sure you have root access. To get root access, press configuration. Under Root access, select superuser + mount writable. I only know how to do this in xplore, i don't know how it works in other apps. So sorry. I will let you know how it works in other apps.
4. Now go to root/system/media and you will find bootanimation.zip . Copy it to your internal/external memory.
5. Delete the bootanimation.zip from system/media.
6. Now copy the dcmarvel720pbootanimation.zip to system/media and rename it to bootanimation.zip .
7. Now reboot your device.
8. Now Enjoy.
[By the way, I really don't know if I was allowed to post this or not. If I was not allowed, please comment here, and also I am sorry, I will remove it as soon as possible. If I am allowed then thank you. Please support the original people who did it.]

Hi. Good job bro. But, Can you tell how to install this? I tried via recovery and it failed... Tried putting in system/media and rebooted but the previous boot animation is still showing. I renamed the old bootanimation.zip first before trying.
Thanks

In system/media, remove the previous boot animation. Either delete it or just copy it to your internal memory, but you will have to delete it in your system/media. Now save the dc-marvel bootanimation zip to system/media and rename it to bootanimation.zip
Now try rebooting. Hope it worked.

Hmmm, when I replace the original bootanimation.zip with the Superhero one and restart, I only get flashing "android" text in the middle of the screen, it's animated so something is happening... but no heroes. Curious. Any ideas?

are you rooted? also are you using a custom rom?
it only works if you use both root and a custom rom,
as said in the instructions, make sure you have given superuser mount writable permissiom. Either delete the bootanimation.zip from you system/media or copy the bootanimation.zip to your internal memory or external memory if available.
now copy paste the dcmarvelbootanimation.zip to system/media and rename it to bootanimation [make sure it is still in zip format which means it is .zip]
now try rebooting.
