I recently tried to change the boot animation but could not find any bootanimation.zip. The only thing close to it was a file called bootanimation in system/bin. When I changed my custom bootanimation.zip to bootanimation and changed bootanimation to bootanimation.bak the new custom boot did not work. When I tried getting back the original boot animation it by changing it from bootanimation.bak to bootanimation it did not work and still was showing a black screen. I've checked permissions and anything I could find online but couldn't find a solution. Any help would be appreciated. Much thanks!

Stock Samsung don't work with boot animation.zip, but if you are with AOSP/Lineage based ROMs you find it in system/media folder.

I have been searching for a while and have not found anyone with my issue. When I flash a rom that has the boot animation in a bootscreen folder it will only give me a black screen but if I replace the bootscreen folder with a bootanimation.zip it works fine. Every rom I have tried does the same thing unless it uses a bootanimation.zip. I am currently switching between Fresh 2.1.2 and Fresh Toast 2.1 and both have that issue.
First I flashed the new JK6 and then I flashed Eugenes latest kernel over this and it seems to run just fine except for now I have the standard samsung galaxy boot annimation but also flashing android logo on top of it. Anyone know whats going on there and how to get it back to only showing the Samsung animation? Im sure this is an easy fix so hopefully someone knows what is causing it.
I think that most custom roms support boot animation.zip try to put one of those in there if your using one click lag fix try to push the restore boot animation button see if that helps
Still flashing , thanks to odin & tw
the kernel is looking at a bootanimation file (there is no extension) while the other samsung stuff is booting the normal bootanimation files. you'll need to delete the
bootsamsung.qmg
bootsamsungloop.qmg
from your /system/media/ folder to get the dueling boot animations to stop.

Ok this worked as far as not having 2 at once but is there a way to get the stock animation from the galaxy s? Right now I have the standard boring android logo. That means I would have to keep the bootsamsung.qmg right? If I could find android boot somewhere in the system maybe i could delete that instead? I thought it would be in system/media somewhere but its not.
Is there a bootanimation.zip of the stock galaxy s bootup? If not there should be.
since you flashed one of eugene's kernels, i think you've flashed the one that dosn't support .qmg booting, but only supports bootanimation.zip. so youre kinda sol.
Okay, so after unlocking the bootloader & rooting I decided I wanted a custom boot animation and went to hit up the play store for aniboot. I first stumbled across an app under the name boot animation - aurora and decided to give it a go. I hit the first button by accident when the app came up (Change animation), so I decided what the hell, it's on there so lets check it out. I reboot to find that the animation is now set to a stock looking 'android' logo so I decided to continue on with JRummy's Rom Toolbox and aniboot for better luck. I sadly discovered that both tools would not install the animation simply within the app, it was always the same lame stock 'android' animation on the reboot.
I then checked within /system/media/ folder and placed the bootanimation.zip in there, but still no luck on the reboot. It was still the same stock animation.
This is when curiosity got the best of me and I stuck my nose into something I probably shouldn't have.
I went into /system/bin and found a file called bootanimation. My 'brilliant' thinking told me, hey let's copy this file into another folder (just in case) and then remove it from /system/bin/ and replace it with the bootloader zip from aniboot. When I rebooted, I found that now only the Google splashscreen would come up and there was no animation at all. Thankfully it still boots into jelly bean though. Even after trying to place the copy back into /system/bin/ I only get the splash screen now on boot ups.
I've decided this is where I stop trying myself and reach out for help before I end up bricking this thing or having to reflash everything back to stock. Can anyone provide some insight to my blunders?

Does anyone know the way to switch the boot animation?
Tried the white oppo boot animation and it works fine but when tried to replace it with my own choice of png image, no luck at all.
Many thanks

Apparently, using any custom ROM allows you to use any boot animation.
Using these right now

If you use this it must work. Just copy your stock boot animation to pc take backup and back up everything in your recovery. Here is the fixed stuff for that animation

so I just flash the sounds via twrp and it worked now when I boot my phone I have watchdogs sounds and not lg s stocks....now for the animation it worked but first I recommend back up your stock animation ... you can find it by using es explorer and then you can paste the zip that you can find on the thread that ceza1380 post here then don't reboot you must change the permitions of your new boot animation you can do that by using again es explorer just long press on the new boot animation (it must have that name bootanimation.zip) and go to permitions and make them (rw r r ) you can be sure by taking a look to the stock boot animation s permitions ....so in conclusion you can install boot animations sounds and boot animation on cloudyg2 but first you must do all the steps from above ....another big thanks to @ceza1380 for posting the the thread !!! ???
