Hi guys, I downloaded "boot animation root" from playstore. In the options of that, there is a setting to disable boot animation, so I did that and rebooted, but now all I see is my phone logo and does not go any further. I thought maybe it just added the line:
"debug.sf.nobootanimation=1" to build prop, so I booted into recovery and had a look at the file, but it hasn't added that line. so I did add that line and tried it but same result, so removed the line, ensured build.prop was chmod to 0644 and rebooted but still cant get it to boot. and yes I know I should have created a backup first but I didn't!
Where else could I look for this offending code that has been added somewhere?
figured it out, the application renamed
/system/bin/bootanimation
to
/system/bin/bootanimation.bak
renamed it and now I can boot again

So i made a basic boot animation, though no matter how i put it on the phone is always just shows a black screen.
I've tried adb push from cmd, boot animation builder, using a file explorer to copy and past it to all the major different folders; /system/media/; /system/customize/resources/; /data/local/.
I have totally stock 2.1 "ROM" factory reset that's rooted, though all the ways I've seen and tried to put a new animation just result in a black screen.
So to all the modders can you tell me what's wrong with my files, or what I should be doing differently to make the animation actually appear instead of a black screen??

if you have a recovery then go to recovery mount the system partition n try this comand
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resources/
if this doesnt work or if you dont have a recovery to mount the system partition . then do this (turn on the usb debugging)
adb push bootanimation.aip /data/local/
this should work even on phones which arent rooted..
n mostly the root explorer dont work cuz you can change the SYSTEM SETTINGS OR DATA while it is loaded in the File explorer.. if you dont understand what i mean by my last sentence then ignore it ..

also .. DONT USE NOTEPAD in windows.. download notepad++ for creating DESC.txt or google for a free software named BOOTANIMATION CREATOR.(it just creates that DESC.txt file for u )
Thank you
Thank you, though I figured it out, the ROM I am using didn't accept custom boot animations, so I threw it in the kitchen and added that to it, now they work. =P stock lol.
I pushed it everywhere and until the "unlock" it wouldn't accept it anywhere, it was either black screen or the original every reboot. though it's all gravy now.
Oh and it was playing through too fast.
I also keep a lot of different file mangers/explorers because of the issues that arise out of each.
I would have posted this to the Neutrino rom development thread but I don't have enough post.
I have Neutrino v2.91 flashed and I have noticed that it doesn't have the neutrino boot animation. I checked the system\media folder and the bootanimation.zip is there. I thought maybe it was corrupt so I changed its name and installed another custom bootanimation.zip. That didn't work either. I flashed the boot.img from the Neutrino v2.91 zip file and that didn't fix it. I did all the wipes, permission fixes, and resets. Nothing fixed it.
I flashed AOKP and paranoid android over the weekend to test them out and their bootanimations worked fine. The neutrino bootanimation didn't work before or after that (probably because I restored a backup I had made before I flashed AOKP and paranoid android).
The bootanimation isn't going to keep me from using this rom because it is awesome but it would be nice to fix this problem.
I hope somebody has an idea on how to fix this.
Try installing the animation ZIP as /data/local/bootanimation.zip. If that happens to work, check permissions for /system/media as well as the ZIP inside it.
I copied the bootanimation.zip to data\local and it still didn't work. I set the permissions to rwx rwx rwx for the system\media folder and that didn't work either. I saw somebody stated that the boost script might remove the bootanimation. I don't know what the boost script would do to cause that. When i boot the phone the initial bootloader graphic is displayed and it says unlocked and then it vibrates and the homescreen appears. Thanks for the suggestions.
I figured it out. I saw that their was a discrepancy between the recovery system\bin and the original neutrino system\bin and I found a file called boot-dmesg. That reminded me that I had installed live-dmesg lite from the play store and then uninstalled it. I reinstalled live-dmesg lite from the play store and saw it had an uninstall option which I didn't use last time just the manage applications feature in settings. I had to use live-dmesg lite to installe the live-dmesg boot animation since the uninstall option was grayed out. I then used the uninstall option and now I have access to my bootanimation once again.
hi there,
i've tried to get rid of the bootanimation as derscribed in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=923545
there it is described as this:
if you want that your phone boots faster, type it into your build.prop file: debug.sf.nobootanimation=1
i did as described by opening the build.prop file with rootexplorer and then i've edited in the above line with the text editor. i've put the line at the end of the text with a free line between the text, that was already there (just to remember where the edit has been made by me). also i've backed up the original build.prop file.
BUT, when i've rebooted my phone it took longer than before and then got stuck in the bootanimation, it keeps repeating itself until i take out the batterie...
i've tried wiping the cache and have done a factory reset/ wipe all user data, but with no positive effect....:crying:
please give me a hint wha t else i could try to get the device running again.....
thanks
I treid to edit this file to get better video/photo/audio quality a while back but when I did edit it and rebooted I was stuck in a boot loop.
I want to give it a go again but do not want to end up in a boot loop again if I can help it.
Is there settings I should not edit or permissions I need to set etc to stop a boot loop? What causes the bootloop in the first place? I would of thought that editing this file would stop the camera from working and not the whole phone but hey what do i know
Can anyone provide some insight?
Cheers
most likely permission error
permission should be rw-r-r (read,write for root, read for group, read for global) or 644 depending on what you are used to
anyway, before you make changes, backup system in TWRP then do your stuff
in case something went wrong, simply restore system and no probs
I have a v30 Verizon with VS996 30-C ROM. It was running fine, and then I added the line net.tethering.noprovisioning=true to the end of build.prop.
I did this by copying build prop to my pc, editing it, copying it back to the system folder as newbuild.prop. I then renamed the original build.prop to oldbuild.prop and renamed the newbuild.prop to build.prop.
I rebooted the phone. It boots as far as the Verizon screen and just hangs there. I held the power button for over a minute, but it refused to turn off so I can't reboot to recovery to replace the new build prop with the original.
Any help would be appreciated
Edit. I was able to boot into TWRP, but when I try to access the root/system folder to replace build.prop, the root folder is blank. I tried mounting system, but root folder still show blank. What am I doing wrong?
