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

A LLOOONNNGG time ago I used a more primitive method and ADBed a boot animation, it never worked, just a black screen. Since the I could never get a boot animation working with SlideMeRoot5r.
When I flash other ROMs the animations work fine. I just flashed the simple droid boot and nothing. Any help?

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.

CDMA Galaxy Nexus 4.0.2 James Bond Kernel, stock ROM.
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.
I have been racking my brain and almost destroying my phone trying to change the boot animation. I have stock ROM nothing different with the factor setting with the exception I have rooted the phone. A number of ROM and animation i have tried have said they are not compatible but I go to YouTube and see videos of flashing being done so I know its out there. Any suggestion on how to fix this problem.
The last animation I was trying to flash was the Android peeing on the apple logo.... That's a must have
I'm wondering if there's a nice animation to replace the ugly warning on a rooted device?
I'd like that too
Even with a boot animation that won't be removed, it's not part of the boot animation sequence
Thank Google, it was their idea a couple of iterations ago, all unlocked phones do it now.
Well, that sucks.
