I recently flashed a custom boot and shut down animation. I am wanting to try a new one. Can I just flash the new boot animation? I am worried the shutdown animation will still be there. Since the new one ia only a boot. What are the steps to return to the stock animations? Thanks

Depending on the ROM you are using there should be a bootanimation.zip in the /system/media/ simply make a copy and then move any new bootanimation.zip to that location using root explorer.
This is only for the bootanimation you will need to repeat the steps respectively for shutdown animation as well. Good luck!
Hi I was trying to change the boot animation in xylon rom when I come across a bootanimation file in system/bin but noticed it wasn't a zip file. I removed it pasted my boot animation in the same directory and even tried removing the .zip from the file name but now my phone has no boot animation :/ would be very greatfil if someone could help. Thanks

I remember seeing somewhere in the Xylon thread that the shiny Xylon boot animation is not really a boot animation. You have to stick the boot animation into some other folder. Try going a few pages back in the Xylon thread.
Tried doing that, it says place bootanimation.zip in system/media the problem is, I have deleted the boot animation file from system bin and I'm now stuck with no boot animation. Never known a boot animation to be so awkward they should just make it over writable in system/media

Rename what you pasted . to what it is factory.
Might work lol

You might wanna pop over to the Xylon thread, higher chances of your question getting answered.
Hi, I have a GT-19505 using Omega ROM and faux123 kernel and I am unable to change the boot animation on my rooted phone.
I have tried copying bootanimation.zip to both system/media and data/local and the animation is still the Omega spinning disc, I have also ensured that the file has correct permissions using root explorer and I have tried to flash the file using TWRP (which failed). I would greatly appreciate it if anyone can provide any insight into this matter as it is like the only thing left I have to customise on my phone lol.
Thanks
Long story short a custom kernel completely screwed up the graphics on my N4 CM11 so I'm trying to flash the original kernel from the ROM which is NOWHERE to be found in the cyanogen site.
Anyone got a link?

Just reflash the rom.
If you don't want to, tell me what version of cm11 your'e running and i'll make a flashable kernel zip :good:
or pull the boot.img out of the rom zip and use the flashify app to flash it. the boot.img is the kernel. but honestly, it sounds like you have absolutely no idea what you are doing. if you have any questions, please ask, im willing to help. can you explain what happened?
Yeah I screwed up, didn't notice it wasn't CAF

Thanks!
So after a reboot to enter recovery my N4 is stuck in the splash screen with the white google logo.
This is getting worse by the minute...

just fastboot flash a recovery, this shouldnt an issue. did you flash a recovery before, or just boot one? it makes a difference if it sticks around or not.

I'm able to force-access recovery and CWM but that's it, once it boots it gets stuck on the splash screen, and thanks to the lack of a SD port I'm unable to easily load a kernel or ROM, and despite having the android SDK I'm unable to sideload the file through adb on Windows.
Any ideas? besides trying the adb through Linux (I'm doing that now)
Here's the flashable kernel zip taken from Snapshot M7 build :good:
Okay now it gets stuck in the cyanogenmod boot animation
Any ideas? that don't involve wiping everything I mean

Can't do since it no longer boots into android, but I tried to do what you say and sideload the zip but I get a "installation aborted" error on CWM

You mean installing TWRP?
BTW that problem is with the kernel I assembled using a CM11 ROM, your zip actually does boot into cyanogenmod but it gets stuck in the CM boot animation
Okay I'm not sure why or how, but this time it booted alright:laugh::highfive::good:
Thank you guys for the assistance, I'll do a full backup in case it decides to crash again so I can do a total wipe and flash a new ROM from scratch

No problem
Do a titanium backup that backs up all your apps with data. Always have a backup so if things do go wrong you can just wipe and restore apps afterwards :good:

Hi guys,
I tried to install a custom boot animation onto my i9505 running CM12 and stupidly downloaded and installed the wrong resolution boot animation. Now when I reboot the Samsung logo shows up fine then the phone goes black for a while and boots up normally so there's no huge issue but I was wondering how I could recover the original CM boot animation/any animation at all. Have tried to flash a correct boot animation and tried to install it through system/media and changing permissions but still nothing seems to recover it. Any help on this is greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance,
Rohan
Here you go. This is the default Cyanogenmod boot animation that I extracted from my copy of AntaresOne's optimized CM12.1. Copy it over to system/media and let it overwrite the bugged one, then reboot.
If that boot animation is too plain for you, I have one in my signature that works.

Strephon, thank you very much for taking the time out to extract the boot animation from CM! Much appreciated. By overwrite I assume you just mean flash the zip through custom recovery or is there something else I should do?
Use a file explorer and physically copy it from your download location to /system/media.

Didn't work. Not quite sure what I've done ??? but I do appreciate your time and effort with this Strephon.
No problem. It didn't work because I forgot to tell you one important step. You have to set the permissions for the file to rw-r--r-- for Android to see it. The CM12 file manager should be able to do that.
