stumped: boot animations--SOLVED

I have juggs 5.0 installed with synergy's kernel. I have tried changing my boot animation but for one reason or another it is not working. I have tried using flashable zips and have also tried copy/paste with root explorer. When it boots I get synergy kernel splash screen and then a black screen until the phone has completed booting. Is there something I am missing?

try putting the bootanimation.zip (rename it that) in /data/local/

Can you be more specific on what I should be changing the permissions on? If its the file explorer I have root access and can modify items in the system folder.
Attached is the bootanimation I am trying for. I don't care so much about the sound.

LOL the bootanimation.zip is of a single black picture... there is your issue. get a bootanimation that is more than 1 black image

Anyone ?

I'm no Dev, but maybe if you provided someone with a jpeg, they might be able to work with it.
Also, I think there's a way that the user can edit the boot animation through system files, search the forum a bit, and you may find.

same way i described just rename to bootanimation.zip first

Android actually keeps*two*copies of the animation file. One is stored at*/data/local*and the other at*/system/media. The difference between these locations is minor.
The /data/local copy does not require root access. The phone also uses this animation before the other.
The other one in /system/media does require root. However, installing a new animation to /system/media means that it will survive a factory reset. It’s a trade-off.

buddy, just look into /system/media. There would be a bootanimation.zip. just have a copy of that first & then follow the process below:
Extract the above given file after downloading
in System/media folder there might be bootanimation.zip file
replace it with your mobile /system/media/
Give right of -rw-r--r--
Reboot. Enjoy..
For safety purpose, take backup first.

Sprint Spark Bootlogo/Bootanimation

Hi all! Here I have posted the Sprint Spark bootanimation used on the new ZVA update . You can download it here. AOSP ROMs: You can use it on your LG G2 or other devices running an AOSP ROM by downloading Root Browser (or some equivalent) and going into system then media and then placing the bootanimation_sprint.zip in there. Then rename the bootanimation.zip file already in there to something like bootanimation_old.zip and rename the new bootanimation_sprint.zip to bootanimation.zip. Then reboot, and if done correctly you should see the sprint spark boot logo Good luck! Comment if you need any help or if I confused you in any way
Also, on CM 10.2 when you update it would change back the boot animation to the stock one. Not sure if it still does this, but let me know if it does .

Yeah. The Google Edition S4 bootlogo I used to use on my S4 before getting the G2. This bootlogo just looks really nice and all of the old Sprint bootlogos really sucked haha. If you're interested I can add some other bootlogos I have saved from some ROMs, they look pretty cool.

These are instructions for aosp based roms.

You can also install it using romtoolbox by going to boot animations and selecting it from "local" this way it changes the permissions for you, took me like 2 seconds to install this way, worked perfectly!
I actually used rom toolbox pro... not sure if that makes a difference.

I'm not using an AOSP based ROM, but I'd really like to have a more stock boot animation. Can anyone provide the directions for using this with a stock based ROM?

It still should be in system/media and the directions will be the same(just rename to whatever the rom has the bootani named

ROM toolbox didn't work for me because it looks like it couldn't overwrite the file that was there.
The directions didn't work either until I figured out how to change the permissions using ES File Explorer. Got it working. Beautiful work people.
Now, my only question is... I've found a bunch of cool looking generic animations. They all have different sizes/resolutions. Which one does the LG G2 use?

Theoretically a 1080p+ boot logo should be fine, however, it varies. So the best thing to do is try the one you like and see if it looks right. At worst it'll just look out of res and you could replace it.

[REQ] Flashable Android L Bootanimation that works on Galaxy Nexus

Hey guys, I've tried to flash and/or manually install every iteration of the new Android L bootanimation onto the Gnex with either the result of a black bootscreen or the phone simply does not boot at all until I return the current bootanimation I have. I don't know what the issue is or what I have done wrong, I've tried modifying the dimensions with no resolution either.
So I humbly ask, could someone get a working version of the new Android L Bootanimation in flashable form for the Galaxy Nexus? Please.

I just transfered the bootabimation.zip to the correct folder while backing up the old.
I went the old fashioned way without using a flashable zip

Still doesn't work. I even did a fresh install with the bootanimation added to system/media where it's supposed to go and all I get after the Google splash is one little green pixel and then the screen stays black until the phone is booted. I have done no modifications to the bootanimation.zip on this or any of the others I have tried, I simply delete the bootanimation.zip already in system/media and then add the Android L bootanimation. It simply does not work at all. I really don't understand what the problem is. Every other bootanimation I've tried out works fine.

I have no idea then. I literally just changed the old one to bootanimation.zip.old and copied the new one over.

@Nephilim
Did you try to move it to data/local ?

I'll also mention that for me it worked on Omni FML. So unless you're using OMNI FML it could be something rom specific.

Putting the bootanimation.zip in data/local? I don't understand, I've always put it in system/media. Could you explain? I don't see a bootanimation.zip in data/local currently.

Trust me! I always do it that way. I don't remember why (some guy mentioned it in a bootanination thread), but it works for me without an issue... You may even leave the system animation, it gets ignored...

Didn't break my device but still doesn't work, I get a black screen during boot with one single green pixel. Must not work with Liquid smooth ROM. Kinda strange since the Google Play Edition bootanimation works fine.

try this: View attachment bootanimation.zip
I opened the original bootanimation.zip file and edited the images for the gnex resolution.
Copy the file in /system/media, replace the old one and set the permissions to -rw-r--r--
I tried on cm11 and works well!

This works flawlessly.. Really beautiful animation, thanks!

what you needed to do after pushing the zip to either data/local OR system/media was set permissions on the file correctly
rw-r--r--
THEN reboot
just for future info
