I have a HTC 728 rooted phone. I wanted to change its boot animation. Is there any risk involved in changing boot animation??
there is always a risk with changing system level zips and/or flashing. but i will say , for me , i have changed the bootanimation many times on my htc m8 and other rooted devices with the worst thing happening is a black screen during boot (forgot to change perms on new bootanimation and the new animation being the wrong size for my screen).
as always , such as rooting , flashing custom roms , etc. you are responsible for what you do to your phone. good to always have a backup in case something goes haywire. good luck.

I am trying to make some changes to an existing rom. I flashed but it gets stuck on the splash screen. Is there a certain thing that causes this. I have the DangerSpl, and I didnt modify too much of the rom. Anything I can do?
[Nevermind, I figured out the problem...]
What was the problem?
Looks like it was a faulty boot animation
Greetings,
I am running an HTC One with CyanogenMod (Android 4.2). I had attempted to create and load a custom boot animation. I was able to pull from the source zip (/system/media), and confirm that I could reload it. I greated jpg's which were the same pixel count as the Cyanogen Animation (I didn't touch the desc.txt at all) and recompressed it (mac user so zip -0r bootanimation.zip). I pushed it back to the same location, and rebooted the phone. I was greeted with the wonderful message saying my bootloader has been tampered with, and then nothing for the rest of the phones boot until the lock screen.
Reloading the original animation zip still works. I have also tried a couple other tested HTC One boot animations, and none have succeeded. I ran the bootanimation command straight from the bin folder, and nothing happens. It just skips to another line, no message, no animation.
I am from the world of windows originally, and am still getting used to the mac/linux structure of things. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am not sure how to troubleshoot this problem further. All googling on the topic has produced solutions for others, but not myself. I understand this is a new piece of hardware, and it just may not be possible yet.
Thank you!
A little while ago I was reading about how to install a custom bootloader using Rom toolbox. Rom toolbox comes with a list of bootloaders that others have made, I went ahead and installed it, and rebooted my Warp. As it was loading, I noticed that the loader was not the resolution of my phone, so after the phone loaded i went ahead and fixed the resolution with an option that pops up. After I modified it to my screen resolution, I previewed it to make sure it looked alright, and it looked great, full screen and all! So I then went ahead and reset my phone after just making the loader big enough for my resolution, and to my surprise, it ended up just giveing me an endless black screen... I can boot into recovery, but I don't exactly want to Factory reset and loose all my stuff. Is there any way to undo the filechange, or something without loosing all my stuff?
P.S. I don't have CWM
I currently have a LG G3 Stylus running cm12 (5.1.1) rooted. I played around with the GeneUX rom for a while. After a while I decided to try something else, so I downloaded CM 12. My phone has always booted up by first displaying a carrier/ brand logo and then a boot animation. I made sure to wipe everything except for my internal memory and sd card when I installed the new ROM. But even though I am currently running CM 12, my phone starts up by displaying a GeneUX5 logo and then whatever boot animation I decide to pick from "Boot Animation for SuperUSER". I need help in order to remove, change, or disable the logo thing left behind from the last rom.

HI all,
Did anyone figure out a way to apply a customer boot animation since we can't simply go an change the bootanimation.zip file and so far all magisk modules i tried simply don't work.
Unless you have a fairly short animation, by the time it thinks of getting moving you've already booted into the home screen. In the past I created a couple of custom boot animations. I stopped using them when I chose to use rooted stock firmware instead of custom ROMs. As a result I haven't searched for a long time for a replacement boot animation: not that I need to given I still have my boot animations stored on a HDD.
it is a short one well kinda, wanted to put the nokia handshake as the bootanimation for fun but couldn't figure out how to actually do it due to android 13 read only limitations and i think the modules i tried didn't work due to the pixel now having a dynamic animation not quite sure, seems like its not worth it anymore
