Please forgive my noobishness. I've been reading and learning and reading and learning and just when I think I learn how to do something it doesn't work at all. I guess that just goes with the territory.
Anyway, I was running the Blazer ICS rom but I recently flashed the Blazer 4.0 to check it out (it is AMAZING). I wanted to see if I could change to boot animation. The rom came with the generic Galaxy S2 animation. I have the jellybean animation and a transformer animation on my sd.
I flashed the jellybean animation in recovery and when I rebooted it showed a split second of it and then was just a black screen until the phone booted. Unhappy with that, I flashed the transformer animation and then when I rebooted it showed the same split second of the jellybean animation and then was a black screen until the phone booted.
At this point I decided to just screw it and attempted to go back to the generic animation that came with the rom. I went into system/media/ and in there was a zip of the JB animation and a zip of the Transformer animation. I deleted them both and rebooted my device.
This time the phone booted with an animation I'd never seen before. It was just a basic android logo that shimmered left to right. Where in the heck did that come from? Can someone please enlighten me on how to get an animation file working properly?
I thought I read somewhere that you can place an animation file in media/ and rename it, or something along those lines. Should it be a zip file? Should I delete one of the two "samsung boot" files? Which one?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Update: I figured it out. There was an extra boot animation zip in media/ that I didn't see. I deleted that and dropped the Transformer one in there and renamed it "sanim.zip". Works perfectly now. Thanks.

For replacing bootanimations yes you are correct, just rename the animation.zip to sanima.zip and delete the other boot animations that are there. And Blazer does have custom boot animation support so, you should be fine. That android logo you saw is a default boot animation when you don't have a custom one installed.
awesome glad you got it working.

Hello,
I am having trouble switching boot animations. I have tried flashing the zips from recovery, from rom manager, renaming the desired boot animation bootanimation.zip in both of the common places (Data/local & system/media), and all of those methods resulted in a blank (black) boot screen. From the blank boot screen I've not even been able to get back to the stock one. I finally got one to work using jrummy's ROM Toolbox (free), but it is incredibly reluctant to even change to another animation from said toolbox. This would not be such an issue if these animations were properly formatted for the GNex.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I found a mod what changed my boot animation to a custom one. Anyway, I done loads and they all worked great. However one of them made my phone soft bricked. It had no animation and I had a blank screen for hours. I flashed stock and it got stuck on the blue glow Samsung logo. I got it working after a while but I want to know what actually happened because I thought that if the boot didn't work, it would just boot without a animation.

Is...
it in the right place?
the desc.txt set up correctly?
it named correclty?
bootanimation.zip support enabled in your rom?
Yes it is in the right spot. I am running The People's Rom which does have a boot animation and I did change it already several times already.

Yes I think the desc.txt is right. I looked at several other boot animations and followed the instructions on how to make an animation as well as let Boot Animation Factory build it and they both failed.
Hey everyone I'm @ my wits end here, changing it boot animation has never been THIS complicated for me . I'm trying to change the boot up animation to the Digital Rain Matrix Animation w/ Boot up Sounds. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43437133
And I spent over 4 hours trying recommended methods and install locations for the sound and animation, well eventually it got to the point of me losing BOTH the stock HTC AND Verizon animations, and phone started booting stock android animation... Eventually I got lazy and used Rom Toolbox Pros boot animation feature to overwrite the stock animation in system/media, but now I have no shutdown animation so. I'm probably gonna restart with my newest nandroid. My question is , has anybody with our phones (Verizon) figured out exactly how to get the Boot up music to play correctly? ANY help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED
Hello guys.
I have a tiny problem on my G3.
My G3 is rooted and running a custom rom, it runs perfectly.
The problem is somehow my boot animation and brand logo have vanished. My phone boots with a black screen, therefore i cant go in my TWRP recovery. The boot is completely black, after that the OS runs without any problems.
I think something happened after i installed a custom theme on cyanogenmod and it replaced my boot animation, but i don't know why the brand logo doesn't appear. I ended up deleting the whole boot animation.zip on system/media tho the problem still consists.
If anyone could give me an insight that would be wonderful. Cheers. :good:
