just like the title says, boot animations dont work. Since i loaded the 1.3 rom into my phone, no boot animations have shown up. My phone would load from the Vibrant screen, into a completely black screen that lasts about 5 seconds, into the home screen. I then tried to load a different boot animation and nothing happens, just the same black screen. So i guess my questions are 1) why wont the other boot animations i loaded work? and 2) is the black screen the stock bionix boot animation?

try re-flashing the ROM
what kernel are you running? it must be a kernel that supports bootanimation.zip.
stock kernel does not, fyi
also make sure that the bootanimation.zip is tailored for the vibrant (.png resolution), and that images are named correctly, and that the folder structure is accurate if you made changes. the desc.txt file inside the zip calls for a certain number of images that have a certain name.
if that confuses you^^^ then just remember this: if you make changes to a bootanimation.zip, always make sure your changes mirror the original setup (image size, name, type, folder structure, same desc.txt file, etc.)
check on this stuff and then post back with what you find

arrrghh...this and "ODIN back to stock" have become everyones answer to every problem!!!!
there are plenty of other steps he can take before going through the trouble of reflashing the ROM.....people will never learn anything if they just reflash or ODIN everytime something happens

what does the stock bionix boot animation look like? And to make it clear... the stock kernel that came with bionix doesnt support bootanimations? i have loaded different ones (boot animations) before on Nero, and they worked perfectly. I grabbed them right here on xda. So i somewhat have an idea of what im doing. But i havent messed with any kernels since i loaded this rom, maybe i need to flash a different one? any suggestions?

The stock Bionix-V boot animation is black w/ "Team Whiskey" appearing in white letters repeating....the kernel that Bionix-V comes with DOES support bootanimation.zip....cuz i'm using my Matrix Red one now.....if it didn't have a bootnaimation.zip then it would just show the stock "Android" boot screen....so its is something that you're doing wrong....are you grabbing some that are from other phone forums on XDA or are you getting them from Vibrant section of XDA?

im getting them from right here in the vibrant section. and theres no way i did anything wrong because i havent seen a boot animation since the FIRST flash (1.3) it has always gone VIBRANT > BLACK SCREEN > UI. No stock android bootscreen no nothing! when i originally loaded bionix V, the TW boot animations worked and showed up. But it hasnt since i updated to 1.3....
go into system/media with root explorer or super manager and rename bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip.bak then use it to move your bootanimation.zip you want to use into system/media and make sure you set permissions to rw--r--r--

i have the same problem!!
i have the same problem, no matter which boot animation i put - it doesnt work.
it shows the original android boot animation.
the thing is that team whiskey's boot animation DOES works..
** UPDATE **
I found the solution!!
I used ES File manager to copy the file, but this app doesnt has CHMOD changing.
you need to give the .zip file CHMOD 777 (read/write/execute permissions) in order it to work.
Try using "Absolute System" from the android market I'm running bionix as well and it works perfect for me, and it is SUPER easy to use

I see. Just rebooted. Only changed shutdown animation. Nice. Do you have a bootup animation that is similar. Otherwise ill just keep the nexus boot up.

i pushed them through with root explorer. works fine
I haven't tried it yet but I just looked it. It's a .qmg, not the bootanimation.zip that a lot of ROMs use. The shutdown should work fine, but the boot animation won't on ROMs that use bootanimation.zip (including Nero). It can be converted, I've never done it before but I'll check it out. If anyone knows what they're doing and could probably beat me to it, please do!

Shouldn't matter what recovery you use. As long as the update.zip is signed properly, it will do what it's supposed to do either way. But like I said, not compatible with all ROMs in this format.
no bootanimation.zip to push
i agree that it doeant work on all roms. i deleted the bootanimation amd now i have a android logo across the new bootup image.

I attempted to flash Simple Honey 4.0 (was using Bionix prevoiusly) via Odin and once the phone rebooted I saw a strange screen issue after it rebooted.
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
The screen looks like this before the boot animation kicks in. It also appears like this if I attempt to go into CWM. It also happens with RevolutionRom. Other than that the roms "seem" to work fine but I can't navigate through CWM because the screen is wonky. I tried searching for this issue but I'm not even sure what search terms to use. Any help would be greatly appreciate.

\\-----[Boot Logo+Animation] M-Atrix-----//
I havent tested the Ext3 since im on a Ext4 ROM but should be working fine. tell me if there not!
\\-----NEW - - NEW - - NEW -----// Animation is 540x960 at 25fps.
Version 3 - HAVING PROBLEMS UPLOADING!***
Looping & Optimized PNGs for a faster boot time, smaller file size and faster install but image quality suffers a little but @25fps hardly noticeable.
ADDING NEW COLORS - GREEN - B&W - RED - BLUE* - CYAN ... I might slow down the animation back to 15fps.
blue kinda came out more of a blue'ish Purple might not upload it.
Im still working on RED, dont want it to be PINK'ish.
Ext3:
"M-Atrix-v3-Black&White-Ext3-CWM.zip" B&W uses the Green BootLogo
"M-Atrix-v3-Cyan-Ext3-CWM.zip"
"M-Atrix-v3-Green-Ext3-CWM.zip"
Ext4: CM7-CM9 or any other ROMS using Ext4
"M-Atrix-v3-Black&White-Ext4-CWM.zip" B&W uses the Green BootLogo
"M-Atrix-v3-Cyan-Ext4-CWM.zip"
"M-Atrix-v3-Green-Ext4-CWM.zip"
||-----OLD - - - OLD-----|| Animation is 540x960 at 10fps.

"[How to] Make your own boot logo and Applying the Logo"

a preview of Version 3's bootlogo - looks 5 times better on phone.
M-Atrix boot logo & animation v1-2-3 540x960
RESERVED FOR AWESOMENESS! I guess?
*UPDATE* - 3\21\2012 - FINALLY Adding v3 and Ex4 support.
Minor bug: Theres a (1/25th of a second) black screen FLICKER from the boot logo to the Animation. no idea why...
Other Thoughts: looking back at v2 i like the M-Atrix going down the screen may make a new one. and update the v2 to ext4 as well.
*UPDATE* - 10\7\2011 - Working on Version 3.
*UPDATE* - 8\16\2011 - to Full CWM installable files.
If the files don't work update your CWM.
If that doesn't work tell me, I'll check them.
If you like one of these but want to change it ("color, animation, etc...") GO FOR IT!!! but post it on here i want to see it.

Alright so i made this boot logo and animation for my Atrix.
Thought i would share it.
Ive only tested it with my Motorola Atrix.
I call it M-atrix or matrix short for motorola atrix.
if you need instructions on loading them then just search on the xda forums.
The zip contains everything Logo.bin and the bootanimation.zip
also the original .png used to make the logo so if the logo.bin doesnt work for you u can make it yourself.
Animation is 540x960 and 10fps.

This is nice!
This is extremely nice!
Cheers!
I spent about 6-8 hours building and customizing every frame, i couldn't stand that BRIGHT At$T animation that came on before so i had to replace it.
I dropped it down to 10fps because i made it go by to fast at 15fps.
and the first few version lagged a little but Ive optimized the animation files a little to make it lag less.
I still get a stutter while the matrix part is going down but other then that its pretty smooth.
Awesome! I want this on my phone! Any chance you can make this a CWM flashable zip?

It's very easy to do this without a flashable zip.
For the boot logo, follow the instructions here, (most of you will only need to follow the sixth instruction) -----> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16019521&postcount=1.
For the boot animation, just backup your current animation in /system/media by renaming it, then copy the boot animation from here into that location and rename to bootanimation.zip.
Reboot and you are all set. Takes less than 5 minutes!
Excellent work bro!
You're pro in designing ^^

You copied and pasted his boot animation into one of mine and never changed the update script, so it says Green Matrix on install. I'll fix it now.
Also, as a FYI to everyone, this is just the boot animation, not the boot logo.

totally agree, perfect with Alien. Just wish the android logo would appear for the duration of the animation so there's no black screen.
Here is the CWM version with updated script. I also included the boot logo files in the zip, although they won't be flashed. I'll look at extending the animation tonight when I get home and have more time if the OP doesn't get to it first.

Atrix stuck in loop at flashing m logo
Ok, i'm a noobie, I attempted to flash this to my Atrix and now it's simply looping at the glowing green m. How do i now revert to the original? Thanks for the assistance.
Before I start, I should point out that I'm pretty new to flashing. I spent most of the day yesterday reading up on it before getting started. Flashed MIUI with success and UnNamed with success.
UnNamed was great, but I would like CRT animations when I turn my screen off. The UnNamed ROM thread has the .zip for CRT animations, so I downloaded it and flashed with CWM. Everything seems to go well until it comes time to reboot, at which point the boot animation plays forever.
I've tried this twice and both times this happened. The first time I had already flashed UnNamed and had been using it for a little while. I booted into CWM, cleared cache/Dalvik, installed CRT animations from .zip, and rebooted. Stuck at boot animation screen.
The second time, I opted to start from scratch. I cleared all data, factory reset, cleared cache and Dalvik, then installed UnNamed from .zip, and before rebooting, installed CRT animations from .zip. This resulted in being stuck at the boot animation screen again.
Just now, I reflashed UnNamed without doing anything with CRT and it's working fine, so I would assume that I'm not doing something right when it comes to installing the CRT .zip?
I hope this isn't an entirely stupid question. I looked elsewhere in case it had been answered already, but didn't find anything.
Are you downloading the right version of it? I think there is one listed for the old ROM(s) and one that is listed for the latest (http://www.multiupload.com/4ZS8UO1YUA)

On the plus side, it looks like you figured out my problem. That link is for v4, mine is v3.
On the down side, v4 is (well, was) hosted by megaupload.
I'll search around for it elsewhere. In the meantime, if anyone else happens to know where else the file might be hosted, feel free to share.

Oops. Looks like I never bothered with that whole "scroll down and look at the rest of the page" thing. My apologies. I promise, I'm not always this stupid.
So im sure a lot of people have that weird boot logo showing up after they have rooted their device, does anyone have a fix to change it back to its normal logo? I usually find someone talking about this in some threads but found no fixes whatsoever. Can anyone help?
In the Wicked V4 thread, Evil provided the international boot files for the S4.
I personally thought the Wicked's boot and shutdown animations are a bit... dark for my taste, so I flashed it to the international animation. So right after the Samsung Galaxy S4 logo, instead of whatever custom animation, I just see the Samsung logo glowing in blue.

My personal fix was after I odin'd and rooted I installed synergy before installing anything else. I haven't gotten the custom boot screen since. Including on slim and liquid.
I keep a custom blukuban themed synergy that is odexed on my sdcard for this reason actually. Always good to have a fully 100% working ROM on your device at all times. :good:
