Boot animation help

Hey all i just finished my first boot animation and i went to go put it in what i thought was the right folder...rebooted and nothing...any help?
I did recently flash a theme and it changed the animation, do themes store them somewhere else?
Thanks as always

Should i go in and find the theme zip and replace the animation with mine?

what rom are you using, themes shouldnt effect the bootanimation.
where did you put it, what did you name it and did you check the permissions(rw-r-r is what they should be) did you use root explorer or es file explorer or did you try and flash it. did you make sure when you zipped it up that it had 0 compression(store on 7zip)

I used boot animation creator

Mik 2.59. Es file explorer, didnt do anything with permissions dpnt know how to,
Thanks
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

ok that thing sometimes doesnt zip it right,try 7zip and zip on store
well if you use any root or es file explorer you long press on the your bootanimation.zip
go to props and press permissions and it needs to have read and write checked in user
read on group and other(rw-r-r)
look in data/local and the bootanimation is named hTC_bootanimation i think

Did you get it, if not send me the zip and I'll take a look at it for you
now the voices are in 3D

I got it but now i think id like someone to tweak it make it faster and smooth it out

ok i have it wheres image 00000 to 000149.
folder part1 was empty, that thing was hugh(64mb and it only had 1 folder in it) if you are going to use png's you need to
a)cut the size in half(240x400)
b) use pngopitimzer
2)you cant have 2 folders in the desc as loops
your desc looked like this
480 800 400 < no need for it that high i have it at 35 runs nice
p 0 0 part0 < should be p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1

I have 000_140, you need them?

when and if i post ii i will give you credit as well, obviously

How many would you say..

How many nand writes does the epic have roughly.. and what would happen if you stumbled across the last write and then tried to flash it again
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA

Probably in the thousands (or 10s of thousands). It should also have wear leveling which means that you would actually have to write the entire 1GB NAND 10s of thousands of times to 'wear it out'. 10,000 writes would mean writing 10TB to the NAND memory, accounting for wear leveling. There is not a specific limit, it will just start to have corrupted data. There is also some unused (spare, if you will) memory that can be used to replace bad spots as they come up.
Remember, everytime you download an app, or anything that writes to the /data directory, you are writing to the NAND memory.
Long story short, I highly doubt you will ever start to wear out the NAND memory of the phone. If the average ROM is 130MB, 10TB / 130 MB = 77,000 ROM flashes.

Take it account that their 130 mb compressed..

True. So might take a few off my initial estimate.

Setting swap space

Hi everyone.
My main question is should set swap space to 0 or other number. If I'm not mistaking new Android phones come with swap space not set to 0. I always heard when I use Linux as my main OS that u should set swap space the same or twice of ur ram memory value. I'm asking this coz everyone says to set swap space 0 but ics uses swap space by default and in Linux OS u should never set swap as 0 unless u have enough memory ram(6 or 8gb of ram) and still is not recommend. Anyone who has a better idea of how this works, please explain. I'm very confuse here.. ;(

Then what is the point in set a swap space if the value is 0. The OS is not gonna use it, right???

If the kernel you are using supports swap, then set it

Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Its quite common for manufacturers to split partition
You will probably be defaulting onto your d:/ drive
Just type c:
That should change drive
Then CD to directory
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Cd c: is the command you have to use to change the drive.
And just use cd desktop or anything to navigate further .

Where does twrp store nandroids?

I can't for the life of me find this directory. When I last installed a nandroid it showed /media but it's not there. I have looked in almost every folder. Before flashing to 4.3 my nandroid was in sdcard/twrp but not anymore.
Also is there a difference between sdcard0 and emulated?? I swear I should have a lot more space then I do. Was wondering with these two directories are the files doubled or are they in fact just mirrored.

The 0 folder gets created when any CM based Rom is installed. Just copy the contents of your SD to the 0 folder and keep both.
There is a logcat file that grows each time you install a CM ROM. It's in /root on stock, and in /mnt/shell/emulated in CM Rom's.
TWRP looks in the 0 folder or /data/media/0
Edit: Ooops forgot to say you can delete that logcat

Thanks for the quick reply! The log cat is only 10mb so no biggie. I still can't find my backups though looking where you said. I tried to delete my old nandroids with rom toolbox but they didn't delete.

You sure you didn't delete them too?
Try /mnt/sdcard, or /mnt/shell/emulated.
If you still can't find them, reboot to TWRP, see if they show, then boot up ROM
Use a rooted explorer on your phone to find them. Your computer my not show them yet....but eventually. Sometimes its a bugger to get the files to show up.

Wow. Finally found it. Swear I looked here a million times but it was in /data/media/twrp/backups
Root browser in rom toolbox wouldn't delete them but es file Explorer did. Got 1.7gb back. I only need one nandroid!
Still would love to know where the rest of my space is though. May have to do a full wipe at some point.
Thanks for the help engine!!

Lol I had the same problem. Ended up just backing up my efs backups to the computer then installing chameleon OS and wiped everything because it ended up mirroring everything 4 times and filled up my storage haha...

Yeah i was wondering if all those mirrors are taking up extra space. I have the same folders in like 4 different places all with different dates on them. I have only 8gbs free. Pics are like 1.5gbs and music is 8gbs. My backups and old rom downloads are about 4gbs. No way my apps take up the rest of the space. I don't even have any games installed right now.

I think that's what happened to me. I bounced between stock, nexogen, cm 10.1 and all the 4.3 roms.
Downloaded a disk usage app and honestly with their breakdown it actually adds up. I also didn't take into account system data. I takes up 2gbs on its own. I thought that would have been included in the 7gb unusable we have.
Plus i guess there are some residual cache issues. Those 0 folders have cache files from old programs. I found 500mb cache file from spotify and I haven't had that installed for a few weeks. Plus i found a 500mb logcat file.
I guess i'll do more digging and clean it up. I don't feel like wiping internal right now.

Could just hook it up to a computer, open the storage then right click and arrange icons by size so you can see the big folders first. Faster than just going folder to folder
