I tried to flash a formatted Bootanimation.zip file in recovery but it doesn't seem to be working. I have Franco Kernel installed and although I have "custom boot animation" unchecked, it seems to boot his animation anyways. Is this a Franco Kernel bug or a problem on my side? How do I fix this?

Search franco's thread for specific issue; if not found, post it there.
Bootanimation.zip should be under /data/local.

bootanimation.zip isnt a flashable. you have to put it in /system/media/ or /data/local/ with a root file explorer(then reboot for it to take affect).
I wasn't directly flashing the boot animation.zip file, it was in a formatted zip file as I was trying to explain. By I guess I'll just manually insert it like you guys suggested. Thanks!

Hey guys hopefully someone can help me with this issue. I odin'd tp the stock ext4 plus rom in the development forum which works fine however then i flashed genocide 1.0 rom over the top if that to get the OC/UV features and when i booted i got the word "android" in the middle of the sprint boot animation then i flash a custom boot animation now the sprint and custom boot animations are mixed together when booting any suggestions to get rid of sprint animation?
Whenever you have android flashing in the middle, that means you had a bad flash. Just pull the battery and reflash the ROM/kernel in CWM and you should be fine.

Not true when u have the android name flashing it means it supports custom boot animation. Best bet is to get root explore go into system/ media. Look for bootanimation.zip and delete it then flash the new one

Try taking a bootanimation from a rom that u like and push it to system/media. For example download a rom extract it go into the system/media folder look for the bootanimation.zip copy that put it on ur sd card then with root explore take it and copy it to ur system/media then reboot see if that works

Really?? Then I'm confused because the first time I flashed SRF it flashed the android name while trying to boot. Just re-flashing the ROM fixed it. I thought this was the same situation.

just flash this stock boot animation cleaner which deletes the stock animation files so you dont have an overlap...
http://chris41g.users.foss-net.org/epic_stock_boot_cleaner.zip
then flash any bootanimation.zip you want, lots in the theme section.. here is the stock animation in bootanimation.aip form.. or as close as can be to the stock animation anyway...

I have a rooted epic, no roms. Using the genocide kernel. It overlays the android icon over my boot screen. Is there any way to remove this? Thank you.
If you're running a rom... head to the themes and apps section. There you can find boot animations that you can flash through clockwork.

As I just said "no rom" I want to keep the stock boot animation (which I have) but there is a sideways "android"overlay over it, that's what I'm trying to get rid of.

Go to /system/media and delete the file called "bootanim". The only file you should have having to do with boot animations in the media folder, is the file called bootanimation.zip..

I just tried deleting the bootanim using astro, it won't let me.
You have to use root explorer.

Dammit man.. That deleted my factory boot animation, not the annoying android one, which is the only available now... How do I get the factory one back, and get rid of the android overlay
Misinformation in here lol... you would need to delete /system/bin/bootanimation to keep stock and get rid of the ability to use custom boot animations, but you need a copy of the file you deleted back....

Here it is. Just remove the .zip.zip (screwed up the rename) at the end. I had to add that to upload it. Put it back in system\media with root explorer.

I THINK we're misunderstanding what your problem is. Wipe cache/dalvik 3x in CWM and reflax the kernel. It was probably caused by a back flash.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
no its caused by support for custom bootanimation.zip in his kernel but he only wants to run the stock animation, so he needs to del the bootanimation binary from /system/bin/ so that only the /system/bin/playlogos1 binary plays the stock animation...
I don't know if this has been clarified or fixed but he is talking about the kernel splash that comes with Genocide. It appears after the Samsung Mobile screen but before the actual boot animation. I have a custom boot animation and I see it, but only after flashing the genocide kernel. It says: "IAP powered by: Genocide."
Not that I mind that much, I do like the bios boot but I figure I should leave it on there. If nothing else it reminds me to give thanks to me devs!
Pretty sure he's talking about the sideways greenish grey android logo you get if you don't have a bootanimation.zip. its in the bootanimation binary, which is called from the init.rc in the kernel. The stock animation is called by the playlogos1 binary, which is run at the same time, which is why they overlap.. if you have a zip, you don't see the stock animations...

Im curious as how to remove the IAP logo? I love supporting Devs and all but with the Samsung logo, IAP, AND the Boot Animation its just too much. Id prefer just the annoying Samsung logo and my own boot animation (which I already have).

so if I remove the "init.rc", it will remove the splash screen that comes with the genocide rom ??...i have srf and the genocide splash screen appears before the normal bootanimation for my phone..its a bit annoying (just a preference, love his work but i don't like the splash screen)
I just upgraded to JB, and like most of you, I've been adding things to it, mostly through CWM. The problem is, the recovery partition is (kinda) broken. Let me explain.
If I turn off my GNex and reboot it to Fastboot then use Fastboot to go to Recovery mode, or even try to boot to it from ROM manager, I get the "android on his back with his panel open and a <!> floating over him" icon. I have to pull the battery to get past that. From there, if I use the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit to flash a recovery, it will boot to it, but even if I reboot immediately, I get <!> again. If I flash CWM from ROM manager, it will work, but again, only that one time. It's like something in the shutdown process is breaking recovery.
I tried it with CWM, CWM Touch, and TWRP. Same problem.
Am I alone in this?
Is there a fix?
This happened to me after I flashed stock JB. I then flashed bigxie's rooted deodexed Rom and my recovery sticks
I am on Team Liquid vicious v2 w/ franco 200 kernel. it has been very smooth and I have been able to boot into recovery seamlessly.
I am assuming you already have root. Just go to the /system folder then rename recovery-from-boot.p to something else and cwm will stick
I've got the same problem from time to time.
Suddenly CWM is away and I have to reflash it.
Can I fix this by deleting the .p file mentioned?

Kinda weird that it's from "time to time" because if that file is there, then it should bring you back to stock recovery every time after you use your newly flashed temporary recovery. Yes, rename/delete that file and it should stick.

I just installed CWM through SFHub's Autoroot package, and my boot animation changed upon the automatic reboot to the animation that just says "Android". Is that normal, and is it something i should be worried about if its not normal?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
You're fine. As long as it booted, you're fine.
That's a fallback bootanimation when no other one is detected. The same thing would happen if you were using a kernel that used the qmg format over 'bootanimation' but you had a bootanimation zip in /system/media.
The only time you should be worried is when your boot animation is static
That almost never occurs on our phone so your good

Alright. Thanks.
If i wanted to change my boot animation how would I go about doing so? Is there a thread you can point me to?

yup normal, same thing I got until I flashed Blu Kuban
Can't name any threads off the top of my head. Just search 'how to install bootanimation' With Samsung, the type will matter (qmg vs bootanimation) depending on the kernel. As far as I know, most custom kernels support bootanimation zips. just read the OP to check.
Now, most will have a CWM flashable package but if you find one in a ROM you want or it's not wrapped in a nice package:
It goes in /system/media and must be named 'bootanimation.zip' the permissions are rw-r-r (though I'm sure r-r-r works too).
Hey all, I'm new to the Samsung community and my experience with HTC products does not seem to be helping me at all. I am having an issue installing different boot animations. I see the original animation in the /system/media folder, but when i replace it and reboot it is just replaced by a flashing ANDROID. Rooted using FreeGS3 ROM. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

try copying and paste of the same (your custom) bootanimation zip file to the data/local folder. reboot and see if that works
if not, try this...

Thanks for the response! I tried placing my boot animation in that folder, ran that zip, cleared cache and dalvik, still nothing. Does it have to be flashed using cwm for some reason? I'm using twrp.
