Hey guys I am running cyanogenmod and other then some small issues it runs great. I have made a theme for myself using android studio and the boot animation worked fine on my nexus 5 but on my nexus 5x the boot animation doesn't work. I have tried other themes and those boot animations don't work either it just uses the default cyanogen boot animation. I am not sure what's going on. I'll attach my theme if anyone wants to try it for themself.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks
Nobody else had this issue? I have tried flashing back to stock then back to cyanogenmod with no luck?
Try manually installing the bootanimation.zip with a root file explorer and setting the correct permissions.

Doing it manually does work. But I can't get it to work via the cyanogenmod theme settings which I would much prefer. Any idea why?

Not sure, maybe try rebuilding the bootanimation with these instructions, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60085282&postcount=4

I have tried other boot animations with no luck either so I doubt its my boot animation. Also that animation worked on my neuxs 5. Maybe if someone reading this with a nexus 5x on cyanogenmod can try my theme and see if the boot animation works.?

Hi All,
I am having trouble finding a solution to fixing a boot animation issue. I've searched the forums here and the solutions I've tried haven't worked thus far.
I have a DHD running CM 7.0.2 and a black screen where the boot animation should be.
I've ensured there is "bootanimation.zip" in /system/media and /data/local with permissions rw-r-r on the file.
Can anyone suggest something else to check please?
(I have tried multiple bootanimation files in multiple locations).
Thanks!
Dan.
The location of the boot animation & permissions are correct.
Have you modified the boot animation in any way?

Thanks for the reply, Andy. No, I haven't stuffed around with the zip file. The only thing I have done is rename the originals to "bootanimation.zip". I find it bizarre that this is happening with several different boot animations.
What were the original file names?

One example is "HQ_bootanimation.zip".
Have you tried re-flashing CM7? There is no need to perform a wipe.

I have not, been flashing myself silly lately (so to speak).
I assume I'll have to re-install all apps again if I do that without Titanium Backup etc...?
No no, all your data and apps will not be touched. Just flash it without wiping anything.

thanks mate! ill give it a shot.
Andy, thanks for this. I reflashed cm7 and as it booted up the animation worked straight away!

No problem.
So I was screwing around trying to push a boot animation, deleted the bootanimation.zip in system/media and now all I have is the android boot ani.
Anyone know where I can find the bootanimation.zip from system/media, so I can at least flash boot animations again?
Thanks
It'll be in the install zip for whichever ROM you're currently using. Same place /system/media/.

I tried that and also tried one from a theme, no go. In the end I flashed the hc2.0 theme again and that fixed me right up.
Hi,
I'm messing with boot and down animations. I stole the file from Robocik's ROM (which I'm using and love) and created my own images for it and what have you and have a working bootanimation of my own. I'm very happy with it.
However, the attached down animation doesn't work at all. It stops my phone from rebooting properly and instead of rebooting, it blacks the screen to the bootanimation and then boots again. This isn't a full reboot (no splash1 logo then haptic vibrate).
If I log into adb shell and navigate to the system/customize/resource/ folder and rm downanimation.zip this deletes the animation and restores a proper reboot.
Could someone download the animation and help me figure out why it doesn't work? I've included the Robocik one for comparison, as that one does work properly.
Thanks in advance
Bump
Any ideas anyone?
I'm thinking of renaming the files to 0001-0025.jpg and seeing if that works.
Just bumping my thread. Surely someone knows what's going on here?
I can't understand why the Original works, and all I've done in my modification is change the images. I've kept the same format and filenames.

Good luck

Kryten2k35 said:
Thanks, but, how do I check permissions? I'm not that adept with Linux, so I'm very new to the adb shell.
Also, I threw this into /data/local/ where I think the downanimations and such should be (I think they start in system/customize/resource/ and then get moved on install) but it still didn't work. I'm going to try the resource folder and see where that gets me, but it could be that I didn't manually change permissions. I can't see my data/local/ folder in ASTRO.

Which rom (LeeDroid, Baadnewz, Robocik, Coolexe...) and which hboot (a2sd, cm7...) you use?

I'm using Robocik's RCMix S v2.0, but I'm using the wmjam's modded version which gives D2EXT. As far as I know it's the stock hboot version. I am S-OFF'd using Alpha-rev, but again, I went stock.
Thanks
Hey guys, I flashed the new Malice Rom (3/20/12), and I was wondering how I can switch the zombie boot animation. I know where to put the zip file, (/system/media) Somehow I cannot seem to get other ones to work. I made sure the replacement files mirror the original. Do I need to flash the entire file as opposed to just replacing the files using root explorer? Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I renamed it to bootanimation.zip, etc.
Copy and then Change permision file in root explorer rw-r-r

Ok, maybe it cause your custom boot animation not valid..

Well, I tried a couple other ones, and no dice. Could it be that the rom itself only allows that one(or none)?
Download rom toolbox and get the boot animations from there. By far the easiest way.

I recently flashed the AOSP 4.4 "Taste of Kitkat" [Alpha Build], on to my Samsung Galaxy Nexus Meguro, and it is working great with some of my own tweaks so there is no more random shutdowns or the device lag that accompanies this rom. However it is not allowing me to flash any boot animations, as I tried flashing the newest Google Edition animation, for the full experience, and it does successfully flash but does t show up. Or it doesn't flash at all. I also tried manually but I cannot find the original boot animation.zip anywhere. I was wondering how to approach this minor issue. Any help is appreciated!

If you have the bootanimation.zip you want to use, use a file explorer app that's working with 4.4 to push it to system/media, set permissions to rw-r-r and it should work perfectly fine. Root Explorer and File Manager HD are apparently both working with Kit Kat, so try one of them.
Rather, don't mess with /system, just push your bootanimation.zip to /data/local/
OK I'll try
