Can someone smarter than me explain why my bootanimation isn't loading correctly? As of right now all I get is a black screen and then it dumps me to the lock screen. Running A11 lineage OS. Rooted with magisk. It would be much appreciated!
P.S. before it's said, yes I rename it to bootanimation.zip before replacing the current animation in /system/media
Welp, turns out I'm an idiot, my desc.txt was wack and upon reading some documentation I learned that while it's a zip file, you shouldn't actually compress anything. So anyways here's a working version. It's a 18 second watch dog ctOS animation (1080p btw) that I ripped from yt. (Ik, done to death, but it's my first one so cut me some slack) Now on to figuring out how to add sound and maybe even building my first magisk module

I know that the thread is around somewhere but i can't seem to find it, but i really fancy putting that bootanimation of the android hitting the apple sign or maybe another boot animation but have no idea of how to go about replacing the original galaxy s animation with it. Any help would be grateful
I have been looking for a while so if there is a solved thread a link would be helpful vs scolding
I am trying to create a custom boot animation for my new G2 from scratch (themed for work) and I have been able to look at the stock animation files so I thought I imitated the files pretty good but now when I boot the phone the animation is just blank.
If I put the stock animation file back the boot animation stays blank. Im not upset about it as I like blank vs the stupid verizon one but really would like the get the custom boot animation working.
I am rooted and use root browser. I was able to change the one on my galaxy s4 with no problems just by replacing the files but this one has me stumped as it has even blocked the stock boot.
Thanks for any help in advance.
I know nothing about development and have just rooted my first phone *note 3* I'm looking for a Watch Dogs boot animation but can only find such things in bootanimation.zip I have to have one in that .qmg format in order to get it to work properly, and I can not find one at all. Can anyone help me get the Watch Dogs Boot Animation?
Hi, following threads on these forums I was able to root my phone! First time rooting and it's awesome!
The thing is I can't manage to change the boot animation and I'm pretty sure this is specific to this phone, since every guide tells you to just either plop your bootanimation.zip into /data/local or swap it with the original in /system/media
I can't manage to do it in the Xperia L1, tried both things, also as a test I tried uncompressing the original boot animation in my PC and deleting the contents (not the folders) of the loop and outro folders then zipping it again (in storage mode) and putting it back in /system/media
Also as a test tried straight up deleting the bootanimation.zip, just to find it plays anyway on reboot.
Due to these little experiments I'm beginning to think this XPERIA logo boot animation is straight up hard coded in the bootanimation executable in system/bin ? Either that or the original bootanimation.zip is also on another sneaky directory and when the executable detects something weird it defaults to that one?
I even tried de compiling (or disassembling?) the bootanimation executable but I found thousands of assembly code lines and was quickly discouraged out of searching any trace of bootanimation management in there.
I know by reading the forums that a lot of good devs tried getting this phone back to life and founding issues like RIL problems on custom ROMs, or Sony disabling recovery so you have to flash TWRP on boot (this is so dumb).
I actually had rooted the phone on stock ROM then got comfy and flashed Resurrection Remix dismissing the only bug (didn't know what RIL was) present then finding out I couldn't use it as main with that ROM because no SIM, then tried using Flashtool to re flash the stock ROM to no avail, to then finding about xflasher and it saving my life haha.
Now I just want to swap a pety boot animation, plz halp!
So I like having android up to date on this device but like some of the customization that razer was bringing to the table. After a full on fight with my spare parts razer phone I have THIS LINK that is all of the ticks and boops that i was able to find using the root explorer. This also contains the boot animation, and the stock wallpaper! The pixel experience boot animation seems not to be working with the stock razer animation is installed. Splash screen right into the os? If some one can confirm if that is working that would be awesome. When installing you will need to change the files permissions. Have a Great day!
Edit1: yep the boot animation is working great after getting some free space on my root partition!
Edit2: Made the DESC.txt a bit more compatible with Android 13 and made it run 60fps Link
