Boot Animation Problem - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All, recently I went back to stock ICS from Omega v27, and then rooted with CF 6.4 and installed Siyah 1.53.
On v27 custom bootanimation enabling zip file was there on my exSD card. Today by curiosity I flashed that Zip file using CWM and since then when the phone boots I just hear the sound but cannot see the boot animation. What should I do now to make it visible ?
Regards,

Flash Omega V27.1 which uses a custom boot animation by default.

Did you enable Custom Bootanimation Zip or did you just flash the bootanimation directly, because if so that will end up with infinite bootloop.V27.1 Bootanimation enabled by default and implemented inside the ROM.

Dear, I rebooted into Cockworkmod recovery. Then chosen the custom bootanimation enabling zip file That Came with the Omega Rom Files Menu that I installed previously. That zip file was left on the ext SD card and then by enough stupid curiosity I flashed that Zip file using CWM which resulted in no infinite loop but a blanc screen with default Samsung Animation sound and the phone gets into the home screen. This is uncomfy. I can hear the sound but see no animation. I really like to get back the stock animation working. I even factory reset the phone, but of no vail.

hi mate,
its your animation that need some modification..
inside the bootanimation.zip there is a file named "desc.txt", just open that with notepad++, and edit the last line that probably says something like this:
p 0 0 Part1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and change the 0 (zero) after "p", to 1 or more (depends on how many times you want it to loop)
so it looks something like this:
p 1 0 Part1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
ICS dosent support looped animations, and therefore youll end up having the animation showing forever.. its only JB that supports looped animations.
you could read this thread for further information:
Custom Bootanimations Collection + How To Install + Enable/Disable
and especially check post #5
EDIT:
btw, you need both CF-root with CWM and Busybox for it to work on stock roms.

hi anbech, the prob is fixed. Thank you for the extensive help and others too. Yes, I've read your thread. Infact we should (not could) read your thread when it comes about first time custmizing the bootanimations.

[Sloved]Boot logo CWM zip

Here is a CWM zip file to change your boot logo (the red M when you first start up your phone before you get the boot animation.
For EXT4 ROMs: http://db.tt/SGYWlaCL
For non EXT4 ROMs like stock: http://db.tt/BMYWXf2
Thanks to a couple of devs I figured it out! Thanks to NFHimself for the script.
i would like to know how to do this too, ive been searching and havent come across much yet, will update if i find out how.
kinda helped understand CWM scripts better.
[INFO] Edify scripts in CWM recovery
Then i found this and used it as a base idea. so it can be done! ("for zoom")
[INFO] Edify scripts in CWM recovery
And i used this to compile the CWM file
[INFO] Edify scripts in CWM recovery
hopefully you'll be able to figure it out or at least get started.

Find an existing CWM boot logo zip package, substitute their boot animation and sound for your boot animation and sound. Zip it and set compression to "store".

Yeah, he's referring to the boot logo, this being the red M you see prior to the boot animation. This would be the screen where you see Unlocked, Fastboot, etc.
care to share what you figured out?
Here is the file that is flashable through CWM recovery. The logo in it currently is the stock logo but you can just unzip it replace the logo.bin file and zip it back up and flash away.

Didnt work for me, even tried CWM loading the original file says same thing.
CWM reports: (Status 7)
and something about mount expecting 3 args but theres 4
I tried to change some of it and i still got the same thing (Status 7) Error.
reference to what i tried changing.
mount(TYPE, DEV, PATH); This is one version of the mount command. The TYPE arg is usually "MTD", which refers to memory technology device. The DEV for a MTD would be something like "system", "userdata", "cache", and the PATH would be "/system", "/data", or "/cache". You will also see TYPE be "vfat".
mount(FSTYPE, TYPE, DEV, PATH); This seems to be the more current mount command. It adds in the file system type. Ex. "ext3", "yaffs". TYPE with this command can be "MTD" or "EMMC". You would use "EMMC" with "/dev/block/mmcblk0p8".
So darksim do you get those errors if you try to change something because I have tried four different logos and they worked. Now I did get the status 7 error before when I tried to add text to it but when I left it alone it works perfectly.

Flashing a rom

I've searched all over the forum, but I just wanted to make sure before doing this. I have rooted my Samsung S2 with Odin. I now downloaded a custom rom, specifically HyperDroid-Androidmeda.
It's in a zip file, and it was to my understanding that I flash it the same way in Odin by clicking PDA. However, it's a zip file, and not tar, so I can't bring it in.. Do I just rename zip to .tar and flash it how I rooted it? Thanks guys!

Read this, this and this so you know what you are getting yourself into.
Also read the Hyperdroid thread, it has a how-to flash it and more info on the rom.

Installation Guide: (via CWM Recovery)
1. Install Base (*****install any updates posted HERE for Delta Updates)
It doesn't say how though.. it just says install it. I came from the HTC Hero, so I assume you throw the zip on your sd card, but mine doesn't have an SD card, so I am not sure how to open the internal storage of the phone and install from there in clockworkmod
edit: enabled usb debugging, the mounted data and usb storage. all good, thanks for the help anyway
To flash
1) Flash a kernel with CWM recovery (Cf-root is most popular as a basic rooting/CWM kernel) (Recovery is built into the kernel in samsung phones)
2) Copy the zip file into your internal SD card
3) reboot into recovery (Home > vol up > power when phone turned off)
4) chose flash zip from sd card
5) chose internal sd card
6) select zip
7) flash
8) wipe data/cache/dalvik cache when moving from custom rom/custom rom

Yeah I did all of that, but suffer from a boot loop when the hyperdroid logo is first shown and the voice says 'wecome'. Pretty sure I didn't miss any major steps. Got any ideas?

First boot takes ages, upto 10mins, did you flash the newest HyperDroidV5.2.21 base? Was the zip about 359MB?

I flashed Hyperdroid_Androidmeda_v5.2.21_signed.zip yeah.. not stable? The boot loop is surely not supposed to happen. Thanks for the support btw!
edit: oh i didn't understand that was it booting up! I am so used to getting boot loops from my HTC Hero that I thought it was an error! Thanks

That zip should be fine, and the bootloop shouldn't happen, after flashing the zip and wiping cache/data/dalvik it should take upto 10mins to boot the first time as it has to rebuild the cache, it will look like its bootlooped but its just slow!

Boot Animation Problem

So... i've tried to change my boot animation today but it didn't work out.
I was following an wrong tutorial and turns out that i deleted the bootanimation file in the system/bin folder intead of overwrite the bootanimation file in system/media(that i have an backup).
When i turn on the device after the logo of Sony Ericsson i doesn't show the bootanimation, the screen stays black.
This problem it's becausa i've erased that file?
Can somebody upload for me the bootanimation file of system/bin so that i can try again?
Really apreciated.

Yes you can change...but for changing OPEN zip..not extract. Open with winrar or 7zip and replace bootanimation.zip with any other bootanimation.

You also need to install clockworkmod recovery.
Press volume - key repeatedly when you see sony ericsson boot logo after installing CWM.After installing cwm just boot in recovery mode,go to install from zip and select this and install.BUT just in case before doing this make a backup oh whole os with cwm using backup.

For recovery you must install proper recovery or kernel.
Booting....restart, and when phone booting up, then continuously press volume down...when recovery showing up.

Ok guys, it "worked"
I mean, i did install the CMW and applied teh update.zip
But, the same problem continues, after the boot logo it shows a black screen in the place where it suppose to be the boot animation.
I believe it's because i erased that bootanimation file in system/bin...
Now what?

Disable screen off animation in display settings

And after disable animation, nothing has changed
Rebooted?
Ensure you've flashed the correct kernel via fastboot...
Yes
And Yes
I extract boot.img from the zip file and i put it into fastboot folder. I flashed it. I booted into recovery, i flash nozomi.zip file and gapps. I rebooted the system and the lockscreen don't work
Current CM's kernel ( boot.img ) does work correctly with all functions of CWM. So flash advanced stock kernel first ( or kernels like that ) wipe and install .zip file then flash boot.img last
Diable animation off screen option and i recommend using Screen off and lock donate app
So i tried with ics15.elf kernel, i flashed the zip file and i reflashed boot.img but the lockscreen doesn't work
Someone to help me ?

You can adb push the zip file back to your phone from within CWM,Checks that the theme installed is compatible with your rom , verifies the correct method of installation , then for your problem makes a wipe data, from recovery , otherwise flash rom stock with odin ......
Maybe it's just other bootanimation.
