Hi all
I have a problem with a clone (HDC model). That I did a factory reset and reformatted the storage. After that I suddenly don't have my bootanimation anymore. Instead it shows a silver grey "android" logo in the middle of the screen when I boot the phone, and the same when I shut it off.
I have checked my system/media folder and the phone actually have all the bootanimation.zip shutdownanimation.zip etc. in there, and they are also the original ones. But for some reason the phone don't use them by boot or shutdown.
Also I tried with "Boot Animations -root-" app from the Playstore, but it also don't change anything. I tried to place bootanimation.zip in data/local also but no change.
I checked the permissions of the files and they are also good. And tried all kind of codes on the phone, but none have worked so far.
So what the heck can be wrong?

That don't help anything, I want it to display the bootanimation.zip in system/media (and currently it don't show that one at bootup!)
deleting it, just still shows the stock with android in silver at bootup.
It don't seem that you understand the problem.

Okay, but the phone is rooted and I have set the same permissions on the files.
Or how can it then be fixed? "permissions for using custom animation" where is that set?

Ok i flashed it with CWM, but now the bootup is just a blackscreen for 10 seconds.... tried to replace the bootanimation.zip with the original.
Still just a black screen at bootup. But at least it boots into the system still.

Already tried to replace it with the original bootanimation.zip, still just a black bootup. Also tried others that I download from Bootanimation app from the play store. Still just black, it is strange....
Ok I gave up fixing this manually, so I ended up restoring my whole phone from a previous CWM backup. So now I am back again and have the stock bootanimation. Never found out where or why it couldnt be fixed. But thanks for your time and answers.

Thanks!
Sorry for reviving this thread, I had the same issue and I managed to fix it, my steps:
1. you must change your /system folder to read-write mode, to do that you must execute the following command:
mount -o rw,remount /system
2. then, move your bootanimation.zip to, in my case, /system/media , it should be like: (if you execute ls -la command there)
dolphin-fvd-p1:/system/media # ls -la
total 94704
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2019-05-02 16:35 .

-rw-rw---- 1 root root 572218 2019-05-02 16:35 bootanimation.zip
*Note about the read-write-execute the bootanimation.bkp has -rw-r--r-- and my customized bootanimation.zip has -rw-rw----
with that the android logo kept showing over and over...
Ok, enough talk, what I did was just to fix the permissions there, to do that execute the command:
chmod 644 bootanimation.zip
Do not forget to rollback the /system back to read-only mode, to do that execute the command:
mount -o ro,remount /system
I have with this answer I have helped someone that like me found this thread on google.

So I'm having the same issue on my OnePlus 6T. I already have my bootanimation (flashable zip) in /system/media.
I ran the command "chmod 644 bootanimation.zip," which returned "chmod bootanimation.zip to 100644: read-only file system". I'm still getting the gray android word though.
(And thanks for reviving the thread )

If you're using Magisk then open it's settings and select "core only mode", reboot, then try again. Magisk has problems mounting the system properly when modules are enabled. Also, if your device is treble enabled, then your boot animation might be in /oem/media instead. My G6 play has one in /system/media and also /oem/media, but only the one in /oem gets used on my device. You might have something similar going on.

Look like you haven't done the very first step I have mentioned. if you are using adb and/or console you should get it by typing the mount command.

Hi, i have a rooted folio 100 and I installed a honeycomb boot animation and i rebooted the device, the new boot animation came but then the folio 100 stuck. I tried to make a factory reset, but i didn't help. How can I resolve this problem?
nobody has a solution?
A factory reset will not help you here, as the bootanim lives in the system partition, which is not cleared on factory reset.
I dont know if adb works on a rooted stock folio, if not use some terminal app or root explorer. You will have to remount your system with write permissions
mount system -o remount,rw
No space between the comma and rw! Then go to system/media and delete the bootanimation (usually bootanimation.zip).
cd /system/media
ls (just to check if the bootanim is there and what the filename is)
rm bootanimation.zip (or the filename you think is correct)

How can I use root explorer or a terminal app if the folio doesn't turn on?

Samsung Fascinate SCH-i500
Rooted via SuperOneClick
Current ROM I am test driving on my phone is PWGB beta version (latest v 10/2011)
red versionCWM and verified I have busybox install.
installed Astro File Manager & Dual File Manager XT & Terminal Emulator.
MY NEED FOR ANSWERS:
I have a new bootanimation.zip stored on my SD card Id like to try out.
current ROM uses bootanimation file that is located in [/system/media/bootanimation.zip]....
the [/system] folder did not have the permissions that would allow me to move the current bootanimation zip and insert my new bootanimation zip.
Looks like the /system folder permissions were set at 0755 showing via "terminal emulator"
looks like I was successfull at changing the folder permissions to 0777 via
su[ENTER]mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system[ENTER]
chmod 0777 /system[ENTER]
but in order to get my new bootanin.. zip to transfer over to new location from my sdcard, went to move it with the [-i] option and TE displays [failled -Cross -linked Device] error message....
I am at a loss at this point to get the project done...
YES I AM A NOOB... I HAVE LEARNED ALOT FROM YOU GUYS... THANKS IN ADVANCE for your answers...,
This is what i do when i want to change my boot animation.
First of all, go to the market and install "Root Explorer".
Now put the new bootanimation.zip on your SD card. (I personally use DropBox to download it and store it on my SD card).
Go into Root Explorer, and into the /system/media/ folder and click the little "Mount R/W" button at the top of the app (this changes the permissions, allowing you to copy/move and add files to the system partition), and change the current bootanimation.zip to bootanimationold.zip (simple way of backing it up, in case anything goes wrong, or you simply wanna switch back).
Now go to your SD card (still in root explorer) and copy the new bootanimation.zip, go back into the /system/media/ folder and simply paste it.
Click on the new bootanimation.zip and change the permissions to
User: X X -
Group: X - -
Others: X - -
(Where "X" is permission granted, and "-" is no permission)
Press Ok, and click the "Mount R/O" button in the top of the app, and exit Root Explorer. All done.
Now reboot your device and see the glorious new bootanimation
PS: If there is anything wrong with the bootanimation.zip, it will simply show a black screen after the initial splash screen. So simply wait, and let your device boot like normal.
did not work...
I managed to rename the old boot animation zip and I managed to place the new bootanimation.zip into the same folder.... /system/media/bootani.....
I rebooted the phone but still the OLD boot anima remains and active. the NEW bootanimation file is indeed there but the phone does not act like it.
I went to recovery and cleared cache and dalvik and reboot....nada still no new boot animation.
I took on this small project of changing my boot animation because it looked to be so simple. I got the new boot animation file from a thread of a collection of boot animations and the instructions said to just place on SDcard and install via CWM....needless to say that did not work, so the journey went to where I am now....
Hi,
I'm attempting to replace Email.apk on my miui rom. This is the method I am using:
Code:
adb push Email.apk /sdcard/
adb shell
su
rm /system/app/Email.apk
rm /system/app/Email.odex
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /system
cp /sdcard/Email.apk /system/app
reboot
When the phone has rebooted, my changes do not take affect. To check, I pulled the /system/app/Email.apk back, and found it to be the original version.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here?
Thanks,
Have figured this out...
adb appears to send some kind of cached version over. Renaming the file before transferring forced adb to use the correct file, and all is well.

You'll get lots of FCs until you reboot the phone then it should be fine.
Hi all,
Can someone point me in the direction of some good boot animations and instuctions on how to change them please.

p.s i saw a android vs apple animation but cant find it now ??
were you referring to this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Wz--fyNVq0
if so download here - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CK8HAHRY
to install - make sure you are rooted
use file explorer to go to /system/media folder, change it to RW
paste the bootanimation file, select override when prompted
change folder back to RO
reboot

ESFileExplorer works great.
For file permission, you would have to adb shell/session, busybox, or use a terminal. Then type in the following command
- su
- chmod 755 "file location"
I think right clicking and going into properties on the file and changing it that waywhile the tab is mounted as usb storage also works.
you can also ise ES File Explorer to go to the directory and click on the menu (3 stacked horizontal bars) and find settings where you can enable root access and RW/RO toggling

So I used the S3 toolkit by mskip and it's cool it's so fast lovely. One problem now I can't delete anything. I went to look for the answer.

After making a backup from my internal SD using the "backup SD" option in the Toolkit, it pulled all my files to my PC and everything went well.
However after restoring my SD using the "restore internal SD", my permissions appeared to be screwed up.
I could not delete/modify any file anymore on my internal SD. I got a lot of FC from apps.
What are the correct permissions and owner from the internal SD (=/data/media) ??
Did the toolkit change any permissions/ownership ? I thought I saw a " chmod 775 or 755" flashing on the terminal when restoring my SD (about the last command at the end, IIRC).
To get it working again, I did a :
Code:
su
chmod -R 777 /data/media/*
The owner from each file is now "root" (0), but my permissions are complete open (777)
Somehow this doesn't seem correct.... but I don't know.
So, again : what are the correct permissions and owner from the internal SD (=/data/media) ??
