[Q] How can I get rid of the Trinity boot animation? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've reverted back to stock Kernel for the moment. But the Trinity boot animation still comes up. Trinity is definitely uninstalled, but the boot image is still there.
Thanks.

its /system/media/bootanimation.zip. delete it or replace it with the bootanimation.zip of choice

Thanks!
I now realize that I was supposed to do a backup. Stupid me. Just having fun trying out different Kernels.

Voodoo Universal Lagfix Bootscreen

I was trying to put th Voodoo universal lag fix onto my phone. The only problem I have with it is that when the phone boots up it sort of meshes the default boot screen with the boot screen of the lag fix. Is there anyway I can just keep the boot screen normal and default? Thanks.

Custom boot animations with stock EB01

Looking at Adrynalyne's latest super clean for EB01, I noticed that one of the changes is the ability to add custom custom boot animations. What were the steps required to enable this? In other words, is there any method/patch that would allow custom boot animations from stock EB01? I'd prefer to start from the stock ROM and manually make all these changes myself, if possible.

I may be incorrect...but I believe there aren't any stock roms for Eb01 with boot anis rigjt now. Could be wrong..but as of last time I checked...
I'm running superclean 2.4 and it has boot animation. I think that all of his sc's since 2.3 have boot ani built in.
You would first need to flash a kernel that supported the custom boot animations, and then the animation (bootanimation.zip) needs to be in /system/media

I am running Blackhole 4.2, but I am not certain what kernel that uses - and no boot animations for me... I was trying to put them in place yesterday to no avail...
I keep seeing that things are coming when the source code gets released, but again, I am not sure if this is already doable on EB01 or not...

I believe both super clean voodoo and non-voodoo have kernels supporting boot anis. You could attempt to pull one of those and have it enabled.
Looked in Blackhole and one of the options is jt's bootanimation kernel. You may already have it, that is, if you selected it. You could also go into ROM manager and select a boot/shutdown animation.
Did you get the 4.2 file from ROM Manager or from a link here?

So the kernel needs to be rebuilt with this modification? How is this done without the source code?

I pulled it from Rom Manager... I am looking now for JT's kernel to DL outside of Rom Manager, as I am running into a brick wall when I try to flash via Rom Manager... The DL goes fine, but when I reboot the system to continue to install, it hangs forever (have given it up to 60 minutes) at the Samsung splash screen...
I ten have to pull battery and SD card to get a boot into blue recovery, and there I have to either reboot, wait and power down or pull battery, replace SD and boot...
that gets me back to where I was, but I cannot get the kernel to install via that method. I did follow the steps to make the red CWM default, replacing restore-update and update.zip... I am wondering if this is not part of the problem, but I am in over my head on that one...
if anyone looking here has a link to JT's bootanimation kernel for EB01, I'd appreciate it, as I just need to try to run it from CWM...

designed for DL30, but I have used it on EB01. Use at your own risk. It has no support for startup sounds.
many thanks!!

[Q] Flashed new kernel - now stuck in boot mode

Hey ya'll. I'm a NOOB who's currently using CM 7.0.3.1-Supersonic. My phone was randomly rebooting and I was told switching the kernel may alleviate that issue. Based on forum recommendations, I downloaded a SavageZen kernel - SavagedZen-2.2.1-CFS-HAVS-signed.zip MD5 thinking it would correct the problem. I must've selected the wrong kernel or something because my phone is stuck at the boot animation screen and I cannot get beyond it. I do have Titanium backing up my stuff nightly. I just really need some help.
Thanks in advance for your insight!

It just keeps boot looping?
If so, and all of your information is backed up, it would probably just be easiest to formal all (system, data, boot, cache, dalvik cache) and then reflash the rom and kernel.
easy step is to restore NAND, if you don't have that, get into recovery either via ADB or by power button and volume. Once in recovery just flash the ROM overtop itself or if you have the correct kernel flash that

I know this may be a dumb question, but how would I do that if it's stuck in an endless loop? I don't think I can get to bootloader.

Hold down the volume down button (with the phone off) and press power while still holding the volume button down until you see the bootloader.
pull the battery, when you put it back on hold power + vol -
then select recovery

Thanks. I did manage to figure that part out. I also downloaded the most recent tiamat kernel and flashed it. Still stuck at the boot screen.
are you sure you have ROOT and full NAND unlock? did you try flashing the ROM overtop itself after you got into recovery?

No, I did not try flashing the ROM over itself. I'm sorry for being such a "girl." LOL. Should I try doing that too?
When you flash a kernel you generally have to do a full wipe. I recommend Calkulins format all zip file.
Then flash the ROM, then flash the kernel, then flash GAPPS.
If you get stuck in a boot loop while flashing a kernel make sure you didnt download a wrong kernel(like an incredible kernel). I have done that and didnt realize it said INC instead of EVO and got stuck at the boot screen.
Thanks for your help. I had to re-flash my ROM, but I'm back in business!

ICS ROM- Doesn't get past animated boot logo

I just installed the Energy CM9 rom onto my fire. It starts to boot but never gets past the animated loading screen. I have also tried the same thing with the Hash COde ICS Rom. Any ideas?

What Rom did you come from? Did you wipe cache, dalvik cache, factory data reset, and system? Did you check the MD5 for the zip?

I second this. I'm using the CWM-based recovery. Is there any way to get into recovery before the CM9 boot starts?

I would assume you press and hold power button at firefirefire boot screen until it turns from green to orange, which will load recovery. That's the way it works with twrp.

Did you try the original CM9 ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1411895 ?
Please make sure to do a "factory reset" on CWM if you switch between ROMs.

That's usual for the first boot, it should be very much faster on the next boots.
I had this happen when I installed the ICS Energy rom. I wiped my KF back to stock and flashed the rom back onto the KF. I let it sit on the boot animation for maybe a minute or two and it came back up.
I guess on the initial boot you gotta be patient haha

[Q] after installing new kernel, cannot get into recovery, multiple crashes, hangs

i just installed this kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804374
and since then, i have had multiple problems. multiple things force close, programs dont load, everything hands (like when i hit power off, it just hangs with the circle then everything freezes up and i have to hold power button for 15 - 20 secs to turn off device).
cannot get into recovery - everytime i try to from bootloader it hangs at the google page and if i try to get into from rom manager, rom manager doesnt even load
does anyone have any suggestions?
thanks in advance!

can you link me to it? the only one I can find is from another post and it includes init.d support.
thanks!
fck.. this is not good. I tried using wugs toolkit and flashed the stock kernel with init.d support but it got messed up somewhere after it installed a temporary recovery and now it boots straight into recovery and I cannot boot into the actual tablet. I just flashed the stock 4.1.2 rom here

I think I was able to flash the factory stock image because I finally got it to boot, but its in the "android is upgrading" phase, so I will post after if this worked or if I tried the above.
thanks!
now it is intermittently booting up and intermittently booting straight into recovery.
I believe ive fixed it. I booted back into the OS 3 times and no booting into recovery. thanks!

I'm having the same issue now after flashing faux's kernel. You had to reflash a stock image from the toolkit to fix it?

yes except it took multiple multiple times to work and actually stick. i thought i had it and it was booting fine and it is booting fine now, but my performance is abysmal. its like 25% of what it was.
i have no poewr because of hurricane sandy (on coimputer at work) so i cant even use it or update it. i am strongly considering OEM relocking the tablet and starting over from scratch. performance is almost back to the lag we had before 4.1.2 was released.
