when copying the bootanimation.zip file from the sd card, into system/media, it copies fine. however, when i click on the copied zip in the system/media folder, it shows this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

when i open it from the sd card, it shows the contents of the zip fine. when i look at the properties of the zip in the system/media folder, it shows this:
so, when i check as follows, i can see the contents of the zip in the system/media folder, and the animation works on boot:
running rooted htc m8 with google play edition kk 4.4.4
i've ensured supersu has granted permissions to es file explorer, that root explorer is enabled, and that system is mounted as r/w (http://i.imgur.com/utozFep.png) and done soft and normal reboot, as well as have wipe cache, and have fixed permissions via recovery to no avail.
i recall in the past, i never had to go through these extra steps.
Your system is not writable. Flash a writable kernal or Rom.

any way to make system writeable? isn't that part of the reason for granting su and mounting system as r/w?

Not sure what file expert is but have you checked the permissions?
If you have root explorer or es file explorer you long press on your animation and goto properties and it should say "permissions. Rw-- r- r" if not you have to change them to match
Like this

Your supposed to move the file to system/data/local for mikg
Also the boot animation should be named bootanimation.zip, hopefully this helps....

Also make sure it has the right desc file, ect inside the zip.
Thanks for the help guys. I figured it out while at work, the permissions were off.
When I browse my sd card, and try to open a specific folder using Root Explorer or the "Root Browser" tool in Rom Toolbox, the folder appears empty. However when I browse my sd card on my PC while connected to USB in disk mode, or with the Script Manager app, or while in recovery, the folder contains all the files I have placed there previously that I would expect to see. Permissions for the folder are set to "--xrwxr-x" just as all my other folders on the sd card are set to. I am rooted (obviously), running Deck's 1.3d with Tiamat 3.3.7, and using DarkTremors a2sd.
Any ideas why the files are not visible in certain apps?
Edit: see attached screenshots.

If you are connected to pc in sd card mode, you will not be able to see sd card contents

You can always backup the contents, format the card, then move what you need back.
It might not fix it, but it definitely shouldn't hurt.

Thanks, plainjane. I will give that a try in the next couple days and let you know how it works out.
Problem solved: renamed the folder in question. Must have been a bad character that the explorer didn't like.

So upon plugging in my phone (newest iteration of clean rom) windows takes me into and lets me access the sdcard/ extension. I am trying to install an app by copy/pasting into the system/app directory but am unable to navigate to it via my computer. I'm unable to access it via root explorer because it says the folder is read only. anyone able to shed some insight into this situation?

In root explorer when you nav to /system, at the top you'll see a button that changes it from read only to read/write(see pic). If you wanna access /system from your computer you have to do it with adb.

Airdroid will also allow you to access the system folder from pc. Good luck
In cleanrom you can choose your file manager, each one has a different way of allowing your pc to write to storage, mount, umount, etc. Go through the settings and you will find what you are looking for.

Use Root Explorer.
Enable R/W
Go to /etc/permissions
Edit platform.xml as the bottom of the picture (add "media_rw" line).
Save and reboot

This is the only way it should be done.
Thanks all for the suggestions - I tried the geeksoft apk and it did the trick. Actually, the first one I tried probably worked also, but the app I was using wouldn't work (iTag)...but i switched to another (Mp3Edit) and that worked like a charm!
Incidentally, I opened that permission xml file to look at any changes, and it appears the line was added just as it should.
Thanks again!
