but from what i've read this has a custom boot screen,
can someone please link me or upload the zip with the standard nexus s bootanimation so i can go back to that?
thanks
Idk if you still need it, but here you go:

Do you need help flashing it? Cause it wont work if you just try flashing from the SD card. You need to move it to the media folder first and flash from there. OR if you wanted to use a third party software try: Boot Animation Changer LITE. Download it from market, open, allow super-user permission, select Advanced Settings, select backup animation, close. Mount USB and place bootanimation in "BootanimStock" folder, it should then ask if you want overwrite, yes. Unmount USB, enter BAC app, advanced settings, restore stock animation. And that should do it. Remember ALLWAYS Backup!!!
lol I know it seems kinda counter intuitive but its the only way i could get the free app to work correctly.
**Note I haven't tried this bootanimation myself yet, so sorry if its the incorrect one
Hello, I have just wasted about a day of my time on this issue.
Problem:
When I root my S4, running Kitkat, or load custom Kitkat ROM - wanamlite in my case, then the auto rotate screen feature stops working.
The problem is not in the HW - the camera app, which rotates labels on the screen based on orientation - kept working through all the trouble.
Details:
- I decided to root my S4, mainly to be able to install xposed/xprivacy and Titanium Backup
- first, I rooted the stock ROM, using the chainfire method. Worked fine
- I did not install custom recovery at this point
- removed few modules in TB
- noticed that the screen auto rotate stopped working
- restored the removed modules in TB, auto rotate still not working
- installed TWRP and Wanamlite. Screen rotation first worked, but after some time ( and my guess is after few reboots ), screen auto rotate failed again.
I was unable to fix this, so I had to go back to stock ROM ( Swiss FNB9 ), to get the phone working again.
Searching on Google, it seems that few of the Samsung devices have this problem of screen auto-rotation not working after rooting....
Before I try rooting again, is this a known problem ? Any fix with a high degree of reliability ?
Thanks for any info, Paul.

download and flash libgnustl_shared.so via recovery. Or if your phone is rooted , Copy and paste to System>>lib and change permission to rw-r--r-- . Reboot . Have a nice day.

Wow, very much appreciated! This worked perfectly for my S4 with KitKat.
Today I noticed my auto screen rotation stopped. I googled around, tried many work-arounds, but none of them helped. A hard reset didn't work, a soft reset didn't work, Bluetooth/GPS/WiFi off didn't help, calibration using an app didn't work, etc.
I rooted my phone (as I had before, but because of the hard reset I had to root it again), installed Root Explorer, and put the libgnustl_shared.so file in the System/lib folder (while mounted R/W). I rebooted and BAM! Auto screen rotation was back again!

That fixed it indeed !! Thanks man ! I had problems pasting the file into that directory but the "root browser" app from the play store could paste it. Then changed permissions, rebooted and ... back is screen rotation !!! Thanks !! :good:

BTW, so it seems the problem is that when you uninstall samsung HUB (which I indeed did), it removes that particular file. See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49604191

Hi, Besides hitting the THANKS button, I would like to give following information for other users:
I have PhilzTouch installed and tried to flash the zip file severel times, But everytime after wiping cache part. and dalvik I noticed that nothing changed.
So I did the copy/paste action as described and after rebooting it worked.
Hi All,
I had the same issue when i rooted my device, and lost the rotation and use the method described here to fix the issue.
But after reboot the phone it will keep popping the message " Unfortunately, Samsung Hub has stopped" and it won't go away or let me do anything on the phone, as soon as i hit the OK button it will popup again.
Any possible fix for that, Please !!!
Thank you all.
In English, please...

Can someone help me with this, please... I have no idea what this means.
1) I downloaded the file
2) The instructions say to move the libgnustl_shared.so file into System>>Lib. When I download the file, libgnustl_shared.so is already in a folder called System>Lib...
3) Someone else said to FLASH via recover or something?? What does that mean? Can someone explain this in straightfoward terms? Thank you.
In that case, you should try to replace the existing file with the new one.
You just need to set up the parameters of the file (permissions into rw r r) as explained before. You can do it with ES Explorer for instance.
No need to do something else, just reboot.

changin permission parameters for getting screen rotation
OK, easy, my first question was and has been "how to change the permissions".
And alone, not being an Android Geek, I succeeded !!!
First use Root Explorer, with it copy and paste (or move) the " libgnustl_shared.so" file in the "\system\lib" directory.
Once it's done (always with Root Explorer) apply a finger on this new file, a menu appears and choose "Permissions". Then there, keep only Read on the three lines, and only Write on the first line. Then click on OK.
And reboot your system.
Amazing, it's working, like the first day and before you rooted it...
Thanks again for your solution.
thanks
works great on i9505 kitkat. don't forget to reboot
no permission
im getting this when i try to do it,
"changing permissions was not successful. please note that some file systems do not allow permission changes"
anyone know how to get around this??
cheers
For anyone who wants the new animation
Flashable zip - https://app.box.com/s/yqehpcrzbj8nwh56sw6x73wtnk58n718
Or of course extract it and manually install if you wish

Thanks m8, for this nice one
No matter how many times I try this I cannot get it to flash.
I flash it in TWRP and it places it in system/media but the animation just shows the android logo fading from white to grey,
In fact, now I can't get ANY boot animation to flash. Same thing every time. Just the stock android boot animation.
Thoughts?
Use es file explorer and copy and paste the bootanimation.zip to system/media and check permissions of the file afterwards. Es should have automatically set them to rwx rwx rwx. Then reboot.

Copy manually to /system/media/ . The name MUST be bootanimation.zip
Manually set permissions to rw,r,r with ES Explorer or Brown Root Explorer.
If you check my signature, I have a collection listed that also contains this animation, in both manual and flashable configurations. Mine SHOULD work. If they don't, something is amiss.
I'm suspecting it's a permissions issue.

Still no luck. Tried exactly as you described but it just shows the android logo.
Both flashing and manually installing in system/media.
Any other ideas?

You're seeing the framework "bootanimation". It's the default, if nothing else is found.
Something is buggered. My normal recommendation would be to reflash the ROM, but....
With Android M just around the corner, and everything else apparently working on your phone.... would it hurt to leave it alone until the next update?
I'll just leave it.
Weird that it doesn't work. It did previously when I flashed the lollipop one.
Thanks for the help.
Alright, here goes...
I have flashed a few zips that supposedly are supposed to give your Samsung device bootanimation.zip functionality, and have also replaced the .qmg files in /data/media and in /system/media. I have made sure that the permissions are RW R R, and have deleted the dalvik cache. I have used several apps to try and apply custom boot animations, but none have worked. I have tried using flashable .zip archives in FlashFire to install ones, but no cigarette ( )
What am I doing wrong? I have done several searches and have poured through numerous articles, but have found no working tutorials for my Galaxy S8. (My device is rooted with SamPWND.)
Instead of system/media try system/omc/(your variant)/res/media

I put my custom animations there now, and when I hit restart it gives me a black screen with the navigation bar for a while, and then shows the LS.
Did you try switching both system/media and the other directory and remember to change permissions

I fully changed all the permissions to RW-R-R, I forgot to do that. What do you mean by switching system/media and the other directory? I have all the .qmgs pasted in both places.
Is it working now?

No it is not still, unfortunately. Idk what I am doing wrong...
Here to chime in, I have been trying to change the boot animation for a while now, by only changing the .qmg files in system\media. With no success. Im happy to say that you have allowed me to finally be able to change the boot animation with this other location. Thanks a lot!! Having the files I wanted on my sdcard, I just copied and pasted to both locations, both bootanimation and bootanimationloop. Changed the permissions to 644, reboot and profit!
Recently I wa restoring my font folder from a backup I had, so I deleted the one that was inside the system folder and pasted the original one, next I reboot the phone and now when i turn it on it doesn't go beyond boot animation, anyone can help me?

This is the fonts directory under /System - Unzip this from your laptop, then use this from TWRP under /System and it should work fine.
XDA doesn't let me upload, so here's the link: https://ufile.io/qowb9
(this will be deleted in 30 days from this post)
