I have read several threads on here on how and where to put the custom boot animations. I have tried and tried but it just will not work. I have the permissions set to 644 like they're supposed to be. Nothing words. Can someone help me?
Have you tried this one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=55445894
It works very nicely. Read from that post on and see if any of that helps.

I have the Motorola Atrix 4G on 2.3.4, rooted. It runs on the stock rom. I want some help on installing sounds for the boot animations. I have seen different ways to do it and tried all of them and have not been successful. I want to know a way that works. One more thing is how to install roms without failing. I have looked in the forums here and not been successful in finding a way to install sounds for the boot animations.
maybe the themes and apps section is what you want to look:

You need to first have a kernel supporting custom boot animation such as siyahkernel.

Edit: 9100 and 9100T are same where it comes to ROM's and kernels mods and themes etc. There is just specific modems for the T version found in the shipped modem thread. Other 9100 modems may work as well, some better, most worse.
There are a few apps about that easily download and instal various boot animations. Some of many around.......

Hi, thanks heaps, that rom toolbox is great, it has loads of great bootloaders, and it has all the features i have been trying to download seprately (cpu overclocker ect).
the other bootanimation changer does not work on the SGS2.
and the rom toolbox wont let me install my own custom rom, you have to install the ones it comes with. and i really want the android pissing on apple bootanimation lol.
i have copyed the zip file to system/media/bootanimation
but when i start the phone up, where the is normaly the vodaphone bootanimation, the is just a black screen, and then it turns to the lockscreen.
can someone help me figure out how to add a custom bootanimation
Thanks heaps to anyone who can help
Cheers Corey
1. Samsung is a little different, and I am pretty sure you need to have a kernel that supports custom boot animation, such as I posted above.
2. Before that, you can backup and rename your original bootanimation.zip ( to .bak).
3. Make sure the bootanimation.zip has "permissions" (mount r/w first)
Or,
4. Flash the attachment manually in CWM Recovery (wipe cache and advanced/dalvik first)
5. If it still dosn't work, back to step one.
Hit the "thanks" when you have time.
Edit: Credit to checkROM for the CWM .zip and original dev for the anim
has anyone successfully done this? i have a rooted fascinate running aokp milestone 4. i have read all the forums and have studied for hours. i finally got the nerve to try it....and....brick. lol i tried using heimdall. installed the drivers properly, opened the program, flashed the hacked param.lfs, program ran, phone booted into a blank screen for about 25 sec then went into recovery. tried wiping and restoring but right back to recovery i went. lol . had to odin to stock and build back up.
was just wondering if someone got this to work and could maybe give me a clue of what i may have done wrong..thanx.
Are you just wanting to replace the boot animation? In the case of AOPK, this would be the Unicorn animation. I do this all the time, directly from the phone. I use ES Explorer, although Root Explorer or an equivalent should work just as well. You'll need to go to /System/Media and delete the pre-exisiting bootanimation.zip. You can then replace this file with your preferred boot animation and be good to go. You can also move the old bootanimation.zip to your SD card before replacing it, allowing for easy recovery if you decide you want it back. You can also place your preferred boot animation in /data/local and supposedly a re-flash won't overwrite the boot animation. I haven't done this, as I prefer to see what animation is included in the ROM, then change it out if I wish. I'm sure there's other ways to accomplish this, but this procedure is quite simple. My preference at the moment is the rockets animation from makelegs' CM7 Kang, but there are lots available for download. Or, you can make your own if you are so inclined. I have a folder on my SD card that has a half-dozen boot animations in it, allowing me to choose which one I'd like to use.
If you need to download ES Explorer, there are a few options you'll need to enable to be able to manipulate the local filesystem. They are "Root Explorer" and "Mount File System" I think it goes without saying, but you'll need to grant ES Explorer with root permissions when prompted.
WARNING: If modifying your file system like this, BE CAREFUL what you delete. Delete the wrong file, and you could be starting over. I am not responsible for you bricking your phone.
I believe bdogg is referring to the boot splash screen. If you are following the directions that I think you are, I have not yet been successful at getting it to work yet either . If you figure it out let me know.

It is quite possible that I misunderstood which screen it was he was wanting to change. On my phone, all I get during the boot sequence is the black & white "Samsung" screen twice (once when the phone first powers on, and then it flashes quickly and reappears for what I assume is the Glitch kernel), and then the AOKP Unicorn boot animation. Once the Unicorn boot animation finishes, I get the unlock screen, at which point I consider the boot process finished. To my knowledge, you can't change the B&W Samsung screen. I could very much be wrong here, I've just never seen anything stating differently. The Glitch "logo" is set in the kernel, although I'm guessing if you edit the right thing in the .zip before you flash it that could be changed. It's not something I care to attempt, it's not on screen long enough for me to really care, and I have no preference to go messing around in the kernel. That leaves the Unicorn boot animation, which I know can be quite easily changed out to whatever different boot animation you prefer.
I'm currently running AOKP Build 28 with Glitch 14 B6.
EDIT: After a quick Google search, it appears I am wrong and that it is possible to edit the default "Samsung" screen. I didn't fully read up on the process, as I don't care to do it myself, but I did glean enough to know that I probably posted instructions here to something that you already knew, and that didn't help you one bit. I'll do better next time.
Yes, we are talking about the initial samsung logo. It is fun to change it to other things i admit. I only was able to do it per the instructions on the gb roms. I thought I saw new ones for ics but can't remember where I saw them.

Hi all! I have a slight issue.. So my sisters phone is rooted and on offical kit-kat NAB.
I tried to install @kevinrocksman's hypnotoad boot animation, flashable through twrp. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2467543
It didnt work and after the Note 3 screen it stays black till it boots up. I figure it is because the phones only on stock rooted, and that uses a bunch of weird .qmg files. I cant restore the nandroid for several reasons so thats not an option. So I tried the following troubleshooting steps to either get the hypnotoad to work or restore the default sprint sound and animation.
1. I manually pushed the hypnotoad bootanimation.zip into system/media and changed permissions. no go
2. Then in hypnotoad aroma installer I installed it again. Still no go
3. In aroma I tried restore default feature, the sounds back but no yellow sprint animation
4.I deleted the bootanimation.zip in system/media. no go
.5.On the thread @shabbypenguin commented. Posting an enable bootanimation.zip to have the phone look for .zips instead of .qmg. I flashed it. (http://www.mediafire.com/download/xlbsop29q44vlco/Enable-Bootanimation.zip)
6. Then I tried twrping the hypnotoad aroma boot ani again, hoping shabbypenguins enable bootani will make it work. Nada
7. I tried restoring default again through aroma, still boots with sound but no yellow sprint animation.
So if anyone has an idea to either get the hypntoad to work or get back the defualt boot animation, that would be GREATLY appreciated.
I know it was probably dumb to try on stock rooted sorry, but my sister is stuck with no bootanimation, and she does not want to flash a new rom
So thanks

I hope you have a fix mr. shabbypenguin sir! :fingers-crossed:
Do you know of any fixes @kevinrocksman??
I would think there would be a flashable. Zip laying around but i couldn't find any
if you read to the second page, you would have seen that zip doesnt work

Ive read the whole thread, and the comments. I believed it would work because I have been on several stock Samsung based roms, and all of either the flashable.zips or manually pushing to /system/media have worked fine. Im even currently on AOSP and pushing the monster attack bootanimation.zip to system/media worked perfectly. So I believe my error lies in possibly two things. Either..
A.these bootanimaton.zips are not NAB compatible; which would seem odd because as far as I know bootanimation.zips are fairly universal. It worked on AOSP just fine
B. Or since this is stock STOCK rooted, the system files have not been configured by a dev to allow changing bootanimation.zips.
If it is scenario B, which i think is more likely, then a solution would be to flash a custom built Nab rom, right? I would think if I flashed Freezas stockISH rom it would be too stock and the boot ani system files would be the same situation. Which is why im thinking @sac23 s kit-kats v1 nab rom would allow me to change bootanimation.zip. Do you think this would be accurate?
I did some further digging and I believe I may have found a way to be able to push bootanimation.zips and have them work even on stock stock roms.
What do you think of this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50218786
I gather if I push the bootanimation.bin in OP and replace it with the current one in /system/bin it will enable me to change bootanimations just like normal. You probably would have a better idea then me, do you think this is an accurate conclusion?
Thanks :good:

samsung has been using qmg files since before the SGS1, this http://www.mediafire.com/download/xl...tanimation.zip should enable it. it swaps out the bootanimation binary for one looking for .zip's. it may not work if they are still using samsungani

as for all the other zips idk, but mine doesnt. as for figureing it out etc, youll have to ask someone who is up to date on samsung software and/or owns a note 3.

[Q] Custom Boot Animation
(I'm pretty sure it's ok to post this here, if not please inform me) So I've spent the past hour adding 'Powered By Android' to the CM12 boot animation, which I was going to share with the forum. After installing it, not only was their no boot animation, my phone wouldn't boot up at all. I had to reflash CM12 and it booted just fine. All I did was take the stock one, add 'Powered by Android' to the boot animation and put the edited PNGs back. Anything I missed?
Come on !
Post this in Q/A topic and not in Themes/Apps, i am just curious of you all even read the rules !!
