so i gave this a shot, i used the 720 vertical bootanimation. it lets the phone boot but the whole rom has gone black. i cant see anything but the phone still works.
here is a link to the download thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1845579
I had the exact same thing happen. Used adb to delete the file and everything works again. I got mine from a link from Android Police, and in the desc.txt, it says it's 720x720.. might have something to do with it, but I'm not sure. I'll try changing the numbers around and report back.
*Update
Tried changing the resolution to 720 x 1280 and the same thing happens. Putting it in /data/loca/ or /system/media gives the same result.
It's the same one as cyanogen9?? Or did they make a new one for 10?

A new one was just released for CM10. A nice change I think.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogp9f4_yEoU&feature=player_embedded
I see that the bootanimation from the AT&T nightly is still the CM9 version.
The file from the experimental for the International GS3 has the right graphics.
That works nicely for me
Course I'm on the International GS3 but only CM9.
It's because whoever created the bootanimation.zip file used an actual compressed .zip file instead of just using the extension as a wrapper.
Below is a fixed version that actually has the correct black for the background so that it doesn't look like a hackjob on AMOLED screens.

Would this work on the AOKP JB ROM?

LoL. Same thing happened to me this morning. The phone booted up but screen stayed black no matter what. I did a battery pull, booted into CWM and restored my nandroid. Then I made a request thread in the apps/themes forum and zmore hooked me up with a CWM flashable zip of that animation and it works like a charm. Here ya go.

I changed all the colors in the 3D bootanimation that came out. When I run it. It only stays black I changes sizes of the images and everything. Also replaced the files in the stock bootanimation file. Also changed every image name but still nothing.
Can someone that knows how to make boot animations look at it and let me now what I did wrong ? I will thank you.....

It sounds like you just didnt zip it up correctly. The Bootanimation file has to be zipped with the "STORE" option.... as in NO compression.
try zipping it with the "store" option and copy/flash it over.
i will try that but i even just copied the images into the stock boot animation and didn't work also tried just couple images over the stock once and the when i ran it the stock once worked just not mine not sure if the images have to be in some kinda formate
Zipped it using STORE and the first folder works now thanks getting close just have to see whats going on in folder 2 thank for your help
i have it working for you. flashable zip.
looks cool even without 3d
thanks man you rock what did i do wrong

hell i dont remember now what i fixed in it, did it work for you and which did you use(might help me remember)one labeled media or the sense one(just says zip)
No they didn't work. the folder with the 3d images in don't load but thank for trying
That's what i can't get working
Sorry the one in the 3d-system-media folder worked look sweet thanks

I used those pics,I changed the desc,and the folder names and the one labeled media was signed
So the media one works fine for you, cause I tested the one for sense on mine
i already made the raw image file i want to install i just dont know how to do it, there is a /bootimages/ folder that contains a boot logo file, and 4 progress bar files with the .rle extension, i replaced the original boot logo.rle file with mine but the original image still came up after booting, and when i checked the file, the old file was back and my file was gone. so i'm asuming this is because the phone is reflashing the files during boot, but i'm not sure, anyone have any insight as to where the original files are so i can replace them? and if that would even work.
btw i'm refering to the splash art not the boot animation that happens between the splash art and the actual device being booted.
i decided i would share my custom screen i don't own these images they are taken from google images search, and put together onto a 1280x720 backdrop (nitro resolution) i also have the .rle file but its not verified working yet, i found the tool with a google search which seems to work but haven't gotten a test as the original image keeps coming back.
i think the rte file has to be build into the rom or a flashable zip that will patch the rom, if only i knew how to do that
This might help good luck

If you are talking about the original LG logo, i think it is built into the kernal, maybe trying to modify the kernal will let you apply it.

Yeah, you can do this. I use the Google Edition HTC One boot animation. Just Google it and you can find the file. Simply rename it bootanimation.zip and place it in /system/media. Make sure you replace the bootanimation.zip currently in there to something else such as bootanimation.bak. You might have to change permissions to rw-r-r as well.
my /system/media doesn't have an existing bootanimation.zip. Nevertheless I placed that file in that location, set permissions and the stock Verizon animation still showed. Now I'm stumped. Pulled the file from HERE, trying both a manual addition as well as flashing the flashable zip provided.

Are you running a Sense rom? If so, the boot animations are located in System-Customize-Resource. There are two that you need to replace, one for booting up, vzw_bootup.zip, and one for shutting down, hTC_downamination.zip.

Hmm... I did this and for some reason the boot animation wasn't replaced but the down animation works fine. Side note, does the boot sound in that folder play for anyone else?
HTC One s-off
On the stock HTC ROM, to change the boot animation, you have to change two files in 'system/customize/resource/' : "htc_bootup_one.zip" and "vzw_bootup.zip" (capitalization matters). They both have to be replaced with fully functional boot animations. When I changed mine, it wouldn't work if I just changed one or the other, I had to change both.
On the stock HTC ROM, to change your down animation, you have to replace "hTC_downanimation.zip" (capitalization matters) in '/system/customize/resource/' with a functioning down animation.
On custom ROMS, you have to look to find where it's at. Sometimes it's in 'system/media' named "bootanimation.zip", sometimes it's not. Remember, it has to be a functioning replacement, otherwise it will show the stock ANDROID boot animation.

Actually, you don't have to replace the htc_bootup_one.zip. You can rename it to .bak and replace or do the same to the vzw_bootup.zip and it will work. I actually removed my htc_bootup_one.zip and replaced the vzw one and everything works fine. Probably helps that the boot up animation I use was made for the One variants that don't have anything to do with Verizon

That's very odd. Now that I try it without the "htc_bootup_one.zip", it works, but it didn't when I originally replaced it. Very, very odd.
I grabbed a flashable boot animation (including audio) from the HTC One section and was finally able to get the animation to work after messing with the .xml file. Tried to throw the audio in with it and couldn't get it to work...I'm on Bonestock and noticed there wasn't any audio with the regular boot animation...could it be the Rom? Volume is up btw.
To get a better idea of what I did I'll include the tread. I wasn't able to flash, so I had to manually replace/rename the files in my system/customize/resource folder and then change the name for the boot animation in the .xml file. I tried to follow the steps to get the audio file included as well, but it just reverted to a basic android boot animation when I attempted that.

If I recall correctly, there is an option in the XML file that tells it not to play audio when it's not the first time you set up the phone, meaning it only plays on initial setup. You need to change that setting to play every time. I don't want audio on my boot animations, so I leave it alone.

Add this code to the XML file.
Code:
audio="/system/customize/resource/MP3_file_name_here.mp3"
This is assuming the sound you want is located in the 'resource' folder. If not, give the correct path and filename. Hope this works for you.

I had tried that like it said in the OP, but for some reason when I added that in there it changed the boot animation completely and still with no audio. Ah well, it's probably more convenient with out it.

Also here is where the Boot Animations lie:
Stock ROMS use /system/customize/resource/hTC_bootup_one.zip
CM/AOSP ROMS use /system/media/bootanimation.zip
Google Edition ROMS that use /system/customize/resource/Google_bootanimation.zip

I am having a hard time copying the file into the right folder, I get an error message about permissions but the folders are RW, using ES file explorer
I've been trying to create a boot animation for CM11 using the attached file, but it's not working no matter what I try. Anyone have any ideas?
I've put the file in both data/local and system/media and neither is working.
Running CM 11 M8 on an i747.
Also, I am aware that the image quality is low. I'm just trying things out for now. Thanks!

Try this... at 30fps with only 20 images and 2 cycles it would've lasted a whole 1.33 seconds... I slowed it to 10fps and loop till boot is complete.. Don't forget to set permissions to rw-r--r-- as well
Still no luck. I have my entire system rw in es file Explorer. The zip over wrote the one I had in there. Still didn't work. Just getting the generic android name glimmering thing.

Needs to be rw-r--r-- on the zip itself ... Just rw on the directory won't suffice... I always get that android logo when I forget to fix the permissions and es always changes them when I overwrite

Groovy. Thanks again for all your help!
One last question, if you don't mind. I recreated the whole thing so that it'd be the resolution of the phone. The only thing I changed was the pixel dimensions in your txt file. Now, however, the boot up is just a blank screen. Any chance you may know what's wrong with the attached one? Is 1.83mb to big for a boot animation?
You zipped the whole folder... As in when I open the zip there is a folder called bootanimation... The part0 folder and the desc.txt should be at the root of the zip

Still just a black screen. I give up. It was purely a vanity thing. New band logo and all.
What's weird is when I use the bootbox app to view it, it loads perfectly. Just doesn't load when I boot the phone.

Nice! It's a bit skewed, but **** it! Hahaha. You kick ass! What did you do to fix it?
Idk.. I re-edited the desc.txt in an app that I know works without jacking up the encoding (droidedit free) and zipped it up with an app that I know works (rar for android)... I had the same issues the other day trying to zip one up with ES file Explorer, rom toolbox, and 7zipper, all with compression set to 'store only' ... Only rar for android would work

Dope. I'll get both those apps.
As much as I like the stock white, or even some of the custom boot animations on some Roms...I really like a stock Black Google or White one.
But, can't find any flashable zip that will run/work on the Pixel 2 properly.
Update:
I decided to pull the dark bootanimation.zip out of the debloater/bootanimation thread, then just copied/pasted it to the system/media folder and renamed the old file. Booted and worked fine.
Agreed. I'd like the stock one with a black background and not white. I have almost no white in apps on my phone now.
