Hello, does anyone know what format is used for the animated logo of the Dasaita units PX5 android 8 Oreo? There is an option that allows you to load an animated logo but I do not know what format this radio uses. I have tried to place a zip file called bootanimation_dancing_droids.zip from the costum file selector, but it does not recognize it. There is some specific file format that this unit uses for the animated logos?.

You can’t use files downloaded from that thread for Custom animation.
You have to be rooted and put bootanimation_dancing_droids.zip in /system/media and chose “Dancing droids…….” in the dropdown menu in Factory settings/Car Logo. Don’t forget to rename or take a copy of original bootanimation_dancing_droids.zip before doing that, if you want to restore original. Reboot and you have a new animation.
I have used all Toyota animations from the thread you mentioned and they are just fine. I’ve created a couple of animations of my own, they are also just fine.
When it comes to Custom animation, I wouldn’t call that animation. You can use jpg files and then a dark shadow will move slowly over the screen, it’s a “cheap” animation imo.

The Dasaita PX5 that I Have, has an option to charge a costum JPG, PNG, and animation without root, but I do not know the file extension of that animation.

How do you get to the root?

this is a boot animation that i converted from the intro of matrix 1 movie. I do not own this animation the owners are the owners of the matrix movie.
i simply converted it to animation and formatted it for 1280 x 720 screens
it starts with matrix code then says "the matrix" and after that you get the green cursor blinking.
this took hours to do so thank me if you are thankful.
to make this your shutdown animation, name the zip "shutdownanimation.zip" (no caps) and drop and replace any existing file in /system/media/
if you want to save your old animation just rename it before you drop the file there. ( youll need to use a program like ES file explorder with root access and mount system directory in order for this to work ) then unmount after, and reboot.
same goes for bootanimation the file name is bootanimation.zip sometimes this goes in /system/media/ but more likely then not the boot animation goes in /data/local/ if you want to be safe just copy it to both locations. again ES file explorer is capable of accessing your data folder.
(root required)
any damage done to your phone is your own fault, only use this file if your phone has a screen resolution of 1280x720
if you have another resolution phone you can open the desc.txt file in notepad++ and change the resolution and it should work, just make sure you use the right resolution and you change the smaller number with the smaller number and larger with larger or else your image will be distorted.
note: this method can change most animation resolutions as long as the dimensions are somewhat similar. android will scale the files, if not you'll see distorted images or nothing.
SIDE NOTE: i recommend testing all animations with shutdownanimation.zip FIRST. this way if there is an issue you can pull your battery and boot into your phone and fix it, if you create a problem with bootanimation it could be a little harder to fix, although most of the time a faulty animation will be skipped by the system rather than causing boot loops (most of the time, i have heard of problems thats why i recomend trying any animation not verified working with your phone as a shutdownanimation first)
note on some custom roms like Cyanogenmod you don't want to use a shutdownanimation. because it's shutdown process is like 2 seconds, stock roms do alot of reflashing during shutdown (or something to that nature) and its more like an 8 second shutdown, in this case you'll see "phone shutting down" dialogue for 4-5 seconds" if you are getting that i would recommend using an animation as its much more pleasant to look at.
by the way this animation would look GREAT on a tablet, anything that's 1280x720 should be able to use the file straight up and any other resolution tablet just change the desc.txt file like i described above

another note is that if you unpack the zip at any time and have to repack it, use winrar and make sure you use compression method: STORE and not normal compression (this will cause black screen because the program expects a uncompressed zip file)
here is a matrix code animation that is portrait style instead of landscape with no "the matrix" words just the matrix code. i didn't make this one i just formatted it for 1280x720, i got it off the app "bootanimations root" and reformatted it.
if anyone is having trouble resizing an animation they like, post the animations .zip file here that you download for any other android phone or tablets animation that you want to use with your phone, give me the dimensions of your phone (this can be found by good your phones name and "specs" for instance for this phone lg p930 specs, youll get lists of specs for the phone, and it'll tell you this phone is 1280x720. so give me the zip from the animation you want to use and your phones resolution and i'll make the changes and repack the file for you. (if you dont use the right zip app and text editor it won't work)
Unable to flash it. Says invalid zip
TWRP latest
My phone is 720 p it is sure
Can u still help me?
This is my current boot animation

I m on android 7.1.2 nougat
Mi REDME 3s prime
Custom rom RR 5.8.5
Firstly - hello, my name is Patrick and I'm not-so-much-newly registered user, but this is my first post.
And now I go to my question - how to change bootanimation in CyanogenMod 11 by Maclaw? I tried to do it in such a way, as it's written in the guides, I used Root Explorer to copy bootanimation.zip from SDCard to /system/media, I uploaded everything as described, and after restarting the phone instead of animation I have modified the default android logo. Was this version of the system has some protection against the change? If so, is it possible to somehow disable it?
Can you upload what bootanimation.zip you put instead of original one
I wouldn't upload anything, because I have no longer any of these files on disk, but I can explain what I tried to do. Well - I tried to use that animation, but it had a built-in sound and all this before I did, I was playing with this for too long. So first I commented out using the # line in the file.txt responsible for downloading music and I switched the file again. Unfortunately - appeared on the default android animation. In the end I gave up and made the next step - changed the size of all images - still I had the default bootanim, so I removed that file to recycle bin.
Even when I install this thing, I have an original bootanim of CyanogenMod - nothing is changed.
Ok so after some brainstorming and a LOT rebooting, I finally figured out how the boot animation works on stock G3 ROMs.
I took the animation from the Nexus 9 factory image (which is the same exact one on the Nexus 6) and made some modifications so it runs like its supposed to. It would not finish before the boot has ended, neither will it be incomplete. No matter what you boot time is
(I tried it on d851 but should work on any variant with LG based ROM. Also should work on the LG based Lollipop ROM, but you tell me...)
Instructions: (you must be rooted)
-Download
-go to /system/media folder and rename bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip.bak
-move downloaded zip to /system/media folder and set 644 (rw-r--r--) permisions (no sticky permission needed)
-reboot and enjoy!
Let me know if there's anything going wrong or right...
So now for some technical explanation
It turns out that the ROM uses the first half of the folders in the bootanimation.zip for a different animation when booting with the Quickcircle case. No matter what they are named or the files, or what is in them; it will always do this. So I went ahead and created 6 more folders to the start of the list (part0_0 to part0_5) and just added an only image from the stock LG Quickcircle animation (if you use quickcircle case you would notice when booting up with the case).
After that I noticed that on the description file (desc.txt) you have to leave the way it is on the nexus devices: (c 1 0 part1_2) instead of (p 1 0 part1_2); because the way the Lollipop notification works is that it loops the folder "part1_3" in this case, so you see the particles until boot is complete and then it shows the "android" word and fade away before getting to the lockscreen. If I change it to (p 1 0 part1_2) it would never show the android word and would get to the lockscreen as soon as it finishes boot. If I use the "c" it tells it to complete the animation before getting to lockscreen. This is why the animation is not humongus in size, compared to other Lollipop animations for the G3 (no offense)
Next thing I did was to up the resolution, but I don't have to do it to every single image, I just set the resolution that I want in the description file, and that's it. I didn't set it to take the whole screen (side to side) because for me it didn't look that good, but if you want I can make it for you, and even set it to the stock Nexus resolution.
Also, if you want a different quickcircle animation, just send me the file and I'll see what I can do
Thanks for the great looking Lollipop Boot Animation! I tried it on the LG G3 vs985 Stock KitKat Rom and it works 100%.
Working great on D855 thanks.
My boot takes EXACTLY 1min and 20 sec every time why?
I had some good ideas of creating boot animations and so I looked up how to create one which led me to this guide. Before creating of my own, I had installed Android Wear boot animation from Boot animations app (Playstore) and I wanted to add some more frames after the boot-up completes. I copied and extracted it, added few frames to it, zipped it and replaced the one I had in system/media. The animation did not work. I had the warning sign till my phone booted. Help.

looks like you made 2 mistakes, 1st it's bootanimation, not bootlogo, those 2 are different. 2nd, the tutorial you use is for older version of Android. Started from lollipop, the loop parts was changed.
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.
