[Q] coredroid 5.3 downanimation

Alright starting to get a bit frustrated while trying to put a downanimation on my DHD. I know in Sergio stated in his FAQ that the downanimation and bootanimation can now be found in /data/local and I really liked the coredroid bootanimation but wanted to use my bios one to go with my windows troll splash img.
Anyway I have converted the coredroid boot into a downanimation by changing images from jpg to png and then using the method found in Monx®'s thread to make sure it was zipped properly. But just comes up with a blank screen on reboot or shutdown.
Tried a couple of others and still get a blank screen, so just wondering if any1 else has the same problem?

it comes blank because zip file aint properly zipped... did u changed compression method to store in winrar ? or just send me the stuff and i will get it done for you and save u the hassel
Edit : oh snapp.. just noticed.. the file you pushed to data/local is it named bootanimation or downanimation ? if its downanimation.. then rename it to bootanimation... downanimations are not in data/loca

Thanks for the quick reply. I have attached my coredroid downanimation.zip which I had renamed to downanimation.zip before pushing it. As i said, I made sure compression was set to store.
I first pushed this to /data/local as it says to in Scabes' Coredroid FAQ

Then got a blank screen with both the coredroid downanimation and some other shutdown animations I have found in the DHD theme and apps section.
Then tried the chmod 777 to /system/customize/resource and was getting a blank screen and now cant turn the phone off, just keeps rebooting
EDIT:
couldnt attach downanimation haha

Not a reboot cycle, just wont turn off. I can use the phone but when I try to turn off the phone with power button to either shutdown or reboot, I get blank screen where down animation should b, give it a few seconds and straight away bootanimation comes up with out my splash image.
Used recovery and I'm back to my last backup before I started playing around with with boot/down animations and circle battery mod. Then push bootanimation back now that works.
Have yet to retry the downanimation yet.
Also just wondering does downanimation images have to be .png? or can they be jpg

3. after u do that put coredroid folder and desc.txt in one folder.. now zip these two files.. tip zip and compression to store in winrar ... then do the same again tip zip. then chagne to store.. but then in the uper tabs click on files.. and then below see file paths.. change it to donot store file paths..
4. now double click the zip file to open with winrar... and delete all the pics except coredroid folder and desc.txt.. make sure .zip is renamed to downanimation.zip if it isnt already

okay. Different method. Download this (rename it to splash1.img for simplicity) and put in c: and download the fastboot.exe attached and put it in c: (remember to unzip it)
boot into fastboot mode (power off, hold back + power) and plug in via usb
open cmd and type:
Code:
cd\
fastboot flash slpash1 slpash1.img

uhm, you do realize, that kuljit55 wants to change the bootanimation, not the splash-screen?
Can't help you with your question tho.
Edit: I'm having the suspicion, that you just need to drop the zip-file into /data/local .

crap, my bad got confused (that's why I gave android flasher in the first place).. lol sorry ^_^

In /data/local or /system/media you should find a file called bootanimation.zip. Replace this file with yours and reboot. Now you should see the new bootanimation.

Nope, not in Oxygen. I think the oxy-bootanimation is in the framework-file, but if you put a bootanimation.zip into /data/local, your phone should show this animation during bootup instead of the original one

Yeah, that's right. Had a bootanimation.zip file in /data/local from old theme there. I just deleted it, rebooted and the original bootanimation is shown. By implication this means, when you put a bootanimation.zip in /data/local, this one should be shown.

hello, i already followed your guide without error, but i still couldn't get any sound when booting, im using cm7 kaang beta2,
i also changed my boot animation from THIS thread.
should i change the bootanimation back to the stock animation from cm7?
oh yeah, i also tested it by putting mp3 files in the /system/media where the bootanimation also exists, still,no luck so far,
don't know where it go wrong, since i didn't get any error when running the command in terminal, and when installing the soundaboot.zip, i didn't get any error message either in the cmw

I tried many time but feel its not work without shutdown animation though if i get ill share

So, I tried everything you said. First time I did it, I had that bollywood boot sound. I then change it to one of my own, a .mp3 file I had converted from a .wav file; 160 kB.
But nothing happens, no sound at all. I even tried doing the whole process from scratch, including the script part. Any thoughts on this?

You tried other sounds of mp3 formate?
And changed permissions to rw-r-r ?
If doing this nothing happen just extract that zip file and put your sound in media folder then again zip and install then

How to change bootanimation runnig stock.

Hi, I am currently using stock JB with a couple of mods/extras i managed to link in via the kitchen. But frustratingly so I cannot change the boot image and are hoping with appreciation someone in here can direct me. So far I have tried everything I am capable of. That is from within the kitchen enabling the function which is suppose to allow you to change your boot animation. Although it gives you the tick and creates a different directory for your boot animation this still doesn't work. I have tried replacing hTC_boot_one.zip file but does not work. Whenever i do replace or alter that file the boot starts as normal with white htc and then goes to black with android with a back light rolling from side to side, like kit in night rider. I also have tried flashing Mattmans-Boot-Animation which uses aroma installer. Still didnt work and as far as I know it just added the file in system/customize/resource/. There appears to be a command file preventing any changes internally in stock. Really appreciate and hope someone can help. Thanks in advance......happy new years.....:good:

Did you root the rom ?
You need root acces to write in the system directory's ......

You need SU

Have you mounted system as rw? In root explorer you just press the button, not sure on other apps, and have you set the right permissions? rw-r--r-- to match everything else in system/customize/resource.

Thanks for your help. Not sure what you mean by mount the system as rw. The permissions - yes always changed permissions when trying to replace the hTC_bootup_one.zip file. Cheers...

If system is mounted as ro (read only) you can't change anything in the folder, this is the default setting I think and it needs to be mounted as rw to allow changes.
You could try to rename something in the system directory and if it doesn't actually change then you need to change it, or check if the filesize of the boot animation you replace changes.
Like I said, rootexplorer app changes it with a tap of the button, not sure what else to use

Thanks again. No problem renaming any file within system so I guess it is mounted as rw. As to file size, i have tried different file sizes and identical file sizes to the hTC_boot_one.zip file. I have even tried using the same Zip file and just replacing with different images. Making sure to end up with the same values. Nothing seems to work.

Strange, I had rooted stock Rom and it worked fine, maybe you have the wrong format of files or haven't zipped as store only, no compression. I assume it is a sense one x Rom?
Maybe try this one I made for the Rom I use

Changing Boot Animation?

Hey, guys! I haven't really posted on here yet. Though once I got my Pixel 2 XL and root was achieved I immediately got to work on modding. I hadn't ever rooted a device before and it took so much trial and error. But I've gotten to a point where I'm relatively comfortable with my device except for one issue: restarting my phone causes that AWFUL bright, max brightness screen to be displayed. Most of my apps and such are dark if I can help it.
I've been trying to flash/move the file/alter my boot animation using substratum, system/media/ in solid explorer, etc. No dice thus far! Substratum just gives me an error.
I'm not able to modify/rename things in system/media/ and have only managed thus far to copy/paste a .zip renamed to "bootanimation.zip" into the folder and overwrite the original. It definitely overwrote it. But now I just get a black screen with Android across it for an animation. I assume that's the OS fallback.
Is it just not possible yet in Oreo? I can deal with it. But it's bugging me and I don't know if I'm just missing something.

No need to flash a new boot animation, just take whatever boot animation zip file you want to change it to and replace the original one. The location is in system/media, the name you need to use for the zip is bootanimation, and once your new boot animation is in the system/media folder, change the permissions of the file so that it reads rw-r-r-
The boot animations in substratum themes often do not work, but any properly assembled bootanimation of the appropriate size will work when replaced in the above described method.

Definitely sounds like a permissions issue. Make sure you change the permissions for the zip file when it is in the system/media folder other wise any file you paste into that folder will just revert back to -rw-rw---- which of course will not play during the boot and you will experience the black screen.

This might help also. But what he said too.

I just checked and it appears I do have the right permissions. Could it be the permissive thing, as mentioned below?

I have it set for rw-r-r- and it is still just the black "Android" animation.

Finally got it fixed! Ultimately I found that setting permissions in solid explorer wasn't enough. I downloaded Root toolkit by cpu82 on here, mounted system r/w, then I moved things around.
Renamed original bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip.bak, moved the new "bootanimation.zip" to the /system/media folder, set the permissions (as suggested on this post), then rebooted to test.
Other than the REALLY white Google splash screen with the unlocked lock icon, the boot animation is dark! I'm very pleased with it, as it now matches my system. Thanks for the help, guys! I just needed another way to make the system folder writable.

Thank you both for confirming. I had been waiting for someone to confirm, as I hadn't seen any information whether or not it would trip SafetyNet.
