I been trying to change my boot animation and I cant seem to get it right
I have downloaded "Boot Animation Changer LITE" and tried to change it. Now i have a different Droid boot animation that I do not want.
How can I change my boot animation with out these apps??
Also how to i revert to my old boot animation, I have a backup
ps. Im rooted on the Droid X 2.2
i got it back to normal somehow, but i still cant change the bootscreen to a custom. I used root explorer and put the bootanimation.zip into the /system/media and still it does the normal bootscreen
you have to rename the orginal bootscreen in the file.....bak

That boot logo, or boot screen is in a restricted partition. Even with root access it's hard to change. it basically takes pushing a copy of the partition without the image on to the phone then writing a script to push a new image in the hole created. It all has to be done through adb
not working on P500 T___T
Does this work in void. echo? I'm afraid to mess up

you dont need the App you can change it bye downloading the zip file for the new boot animation putting it on your SD card then using rootexplorer to back up the stock animation in /data/local/bootanimation.zip after you back up the stock animation just place the new one in the same folder /data/local/ and rename the file to bootanimation.zip then restart. Here is a few animations to start with

i downloaded a rom where the logo was changed... but since i changed to nessy, i lost it. i don't care about the boot logo anyways.
Cant find an app called boot animation installer in my market...
search "absolute system" in market
So I deleted my boot animation zip from the proper folder and replaced it with another. That stopped my boot animations completely. I only get the initial white logo then nothing but it does finish booting. I also tried to do another animation through rom manager and that still gave me nothing. Any ideas guys?

So Ive found another boot animation I love and have put it to use. Issue is the boot screen doesnt match. Im hoping someone has the PS skills to match them up. Id like to see the boot screen with a black background and change the HTC to a regular blue and the Incredible to a Cyan.
The boot screen to match in reference is the Helix boot screen.

Secondly anyone know where the shutdown screens belong in the ROM? I know where the boot screens go, but not a clue on shut down screens or what to name the file.
Do you mean the boot (turn your phone) off animation? That is in the same folder as the boot animation. If you mean screen off animation (tap power button with phone already on) I'm not sure where that is, I've never known anyone to mess with it.

That is the animation Im referring to. Its not in the same folder as the boot animation in Redemption. I was browsing in there this morning. For the boot animation it goes in the System/Customize/Resource folder.
Oh, that is odd. For the few roms I've changed boot animations (Nils Business Gingersense 2.1, 3.0, Synergy, Optimized Shift, Hybrid, etc.), the down animation was always in that same folder. So whatever the boot animation is titled that is included in the rom, give the down animation the same title.
Example,
Nils 3.0 Gingersense boot animations are titled hTCbootanimation and hTCdownanimation, I rename my boot animation the same thing. I know the title is case sensitive.
Im aware of how to do it. I have no issue using Root Explorer or ADB to push the files to their location.
I just have no idea where that location is or what its supposed to be called or if it even exists.

There is nothing in that folder.
The Redemption Rom uses the OEM boot names: VZM_bootanimation. There is no shutdown animation.
Edit- never mind, I thought you were asking a different question.
I made my own custom boot animation. I used an existing boot animation structure. Difference was mine used *.png files instead of *.jpg files. Which I thought all boot animations were supposed to be png. The other difference is the fps, I changed fps from 24 to 4
I renamed /system/media/bootanimation.zip to /system/media/bootanimation.bak
Copied my custom boot animation to /system/media/
Rebooted..
Google appears with the small unlocked icon for a few seconds, then disappears to blank screen, which I'm assuming is my boot animation. It never shows, never boots, just sits on blank screen.
Tried turning it off, it auto reboots, never powers off. If I hold all three buttons it will reboot and pull up the boot loader. I try going into recovery, google appears with unlocked icon, and never goes black never loads recovery.
This nexus 7 is running paranoid Android 4 beta1 or 3.99 rc2 can't remember..
Twrp 2.2.2.0 for recovery..
As of now I'm letting it show the black screen waiting for battery to die in hopes that I can charge it, without it powering on, then hold all three buttons, load boot loader, then load recovery and it work.. But I don't think this will help..
I've tried a bit of googling for nexus 7 bad boot animation, and found nothing useful.. Hope someone can help, thanks!
Update....
The nexus 7 is not bricked.. When it loads black screen it is loading my boot animation, and obviously fails, the tablet dies finish booting, even though I didn't think it was.. If I turn tablet horizontal I can see the right 2-3 inches appear, apps, lock screen, etc.. But rest of screen is still black, but if I touch other part of screen while in app drawer, it does open that app.
So in vertical mode I have a black screen overlay.. In horizontal I have only about a 75 percent black overlay that is left justified.
I'm hoping I have adb enabled so I can go in and delete the custom boot animation I made and all will be well.. Or at least see if I can navigate only seeing the right part of screen so I can enable adb or even delete the boot animation itself..
Never heard of this issue, even if you put in an incompatible bootanimation and forget to change permissions to it (which I don't believe you did) your tablet should still boot fine and perform just fine just get a blank screen during boot up
Is it possible you did something else? As this issue seems yo be more than just a bootanimation
If I were you right now I would attempt to flash or at least boot a new recovery through fastboot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Or just
fastboot boot nameofrecovery.img
In this recovery adb should work fine
adb pull /system/media/bootanimation.bak /location/on/pc
Now change it back to bootanimation.zip
adb push /location/on/pc/bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
Now either fix permissions in recovery or chmod with adb, also may need to mount system first
And for future reference always make a backup first

I did nothing else, the tablet actually boots, but all black screen in vertical mode.. In horizontal mode you can see maybe 25% of the screen, the rest is black, but still functions..
If I adb in from Linux, move original boot animation back, reboot, works fine.. I think it's something to do with my zip file or something, I've even took original stock boot animation and edited its images, created a zip, installed, reboot, same thing..
Adb in, move original, reboot, good to go again..
Today I'm going to try unzipping, and just rezip, install without changing any files and see what happens..
If you want upload me a copy of original along with a copy of the new one you made and I'll have a go at it

OK guys I really need some help with this, I have an LGG2 that is rooted and was running on Cynogenmod 11. I also have TWRP recovery installed. Now as the device was rooted I was playing with some stuff to get Sky Go working as it wont work with root. I came across a thread which stated I should try editing the boot.prop file in /system. There is a line in this file about 5 to 10 lines down from the top which reads "test-keys". The advice in the thread was to change this to "release-keys". Now, to do this I used es-file explorer to locate the file. First I simply tried to edit it but it would not save the edit so then I tried to make a copy in the same directory. Es-file explorer stated it had made a copy but no icon appeared for the new file so then I copied the file to a new directory. This time the new file was created as expected so I re-named it to a .txt file made the change I wanted and saved it. I then moved this file back into the original /system directory it had come from and re-named the original file to a .txt then named the new file I had just changed to .prop on the understanding that the os would now use this new file. On re-starting my phone I got the LG logo an then nothing, when the power key was pressed the phone just vibrated twice.
No matter what I do I cannot get the phone to boot into TWRP or any other recovery mode. I have managed to boot into a firmware update mode and using the LG support mobile tool have re-flashed the stock rom. Now when the phone boots it goes past the LG logo screen and to the 3 mobile logo (they are my service provider) but then it just re-boots, gets to the 3 mobile screen and re boots again. Still I cannot get into TWRP or any other recovery mode so I am completely stuck as to what to do next. I can get the phone into the firmware update mode no problem but then phone is not appearing in My Computer. All I really want to do is get into the phone and delete the .prop file I created and restore the original, I presume if I do that the phone will boot properly and I can re-flash Cynogen but without the phone appearing in my computer I cannot do that and without TWRP I cannot re-flash Cynogenmod.
Does anyone have any other ideas I could try please.
Thanks
Ben
