[Q] Bootanimation Problems

I have rooted my LG Optimus 2x and have tested it by installing apps only for rooted phones. My phone has a bootanimation from the Swiss carrier Swisscom which is getting on my nerves as it also plays some miserable music. I have downloaded a different bootanimation but whe I try to rename the old bootanimation it says "insuffisient permission"....
anyone can help out with this please? There is also a close animation when turning the phone off.
Much appreciated.

Although you have root permissions you still need to mount the directory that the bootanimation is in with read/write permissions. If you have Root explorer this can easily be done.

astro file cant' change the bootanimation!
u can use "root explorer"!

I'm not entirely sure but i think you dont need to have to change the orginal bootanimation.zip
If you put the new one in data/local/ that should work as well. You should try that before you change stuff around.

Search on market for bootanimation. I changed mine aswell.

Do you need any further help? Or did you fix it

Make sure your bootanimation.zip only runs with 15fps and then put it to your sdcard.
Open up adb shell, and make sure you have root.
now use the following command to copy the new bootanimation to your phone:
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local/bootanimation.zip´
If your bootanimation runs with more than 15fps, you will have to make a flashable zip, and flash it to /system/media/bootanimation.zip

Hallo and sorry for the late reply. I was not able to change the bootanimation. I read that I need to change the name of the existing bootanimation.zip, name the new bootanimation.zip and just put it in the system/media using root explorer. is this correct? I do not think i have the knowledge to check the amount of fps and how to make a flashable zip in case its more than 15fps... sorry but it sounds a bit of rocket sience here..

I have found the bootaniation changer lite on Market.. is this something good? anyone tried it?

Your bootanimation does not need to be 15 fps. I have a 30 fps one in data/local and it works just fine.

[Q] Bootanimation

Hi all, ive just upgrade my optimus 2x to V10b, the bootanimation now is not the original LG bootanimation but it is a starhub bootanimation, then ive changed the bootanimation at /system /media by replacing the bootanimation.zip with a new one, it is a success but the shut down animation still shows starhub animation, can anyone show me how to replace the starhub shut down animation??

check in /system/app/PowerOff.apk the shutdown animation should be there..

ok, how do i edit it??

besides that, can anyone upload the stock power_off.apk file and stock bootanimation.zip file??

Here is PowerOff.apk, dunno about the bootanimation

hey, thanx so much for the post guyz, really really appreciated it,

I meant to post something in another thread. Still, thanks for the stock boot animation.

Hey everyone, sorry if this is a "hijack", i'll try to stay within the borders...
OK, just to start off these are my stats:
Android Version 2.3.7
Mod Version CyanogenMod-7-10132011-Nightly
Build GWK74
Baseband: 1035.21_20110720
My question is, i've seen mentioned to go look in the /system/media for the bootanimation.zip. When i peek in that directory i see a bootanimation.bak
I can't seem to find a .zip.
I'm still new at all this, so be gentle

.bak is just a backup file from something ...
use root explorer for example to display system directories correctly ...
if you still need cyanogen bootanimation.zip , here it is

There won't be any differences between the files displayed with root explorer... ES file explorer is really very good.
If you have a boot animation during start of the phone there must be a zip file somewhere..
I've read that an alternative place for the zip file was somewhere in data, data/local I think? This is to enable non root phone to be customized.. There's a thread about this in this section.

OK, so it's good to know i wasn't missing anything eith ES. Even tho, i still cannot seem to find a bootanimation.zip anywhere
So far i've looked in:
/system/media/ only had a bootanimation.bak
...i've tried all others mention, and nada.
But i do have a bootanimation.zip there somewhere... and have been able to change it using BAC LITE. Could it be that maybe Rom Toolbox (having the option to diable boot animations) placed it somewhere else?
But just as a catch up, when i boot (with the option all boot animation disabled in RT) i get the plain white LG logo, then switches to a fancier coloured LG logo (and then a skateboarding Android or simple "Android" if enabled in RT).
Again, thanks got the helps guys...

I beg your pardon, but to me this doesnt make sense; you rename it, then save it(copy and paste) to /data/local
But, there is no existing bootanimation.zip there in /data/local already. Am i missing something obvious here? apologies for noob question, but i cant find a solution; some guys advising how to change bootanimation say something completly different

Try /system/media

It's either /data/local, /system/media, or /system/customize/resource. Guides need to include this because every ROM is designed differently. Anyway, nice boot animation OP.

Hi, make sure your Root/ES Explorer has permissions. I'm using ES explorer and check the settings/preferences making sure "Up to Root" and "Root Explorer" options are checked. You may wanna download ES Explorer to do this. Also, don't forget to Fix the Permissions using your Recovery or ROM manager just to make sure.

I am running stock 2.3.6 on the Samsung Galaxy SII T-989 for t-mobile. I have it rooted with root explorer. I See a couple files Samsungboot and Samsungbootloop in/ system/media and put 123 after the file extension. I pulled a bootanimation.zip from 4shared and pasted it in the dir.
Reboot and still get the Tmobile boot. I don't need a custom ROM also do I? Also, can anyone point me to compatible animations IF that's the problem?
Any ideas?

You can't view that file unless your phone is rooted. But i believe i saw a post that you can still customize bootanimation by using adb to push it or android SDK.

My phone is rooted though thats why I used Root Explorer. Any further help is appreciated.

Make sure the permissions are rw/r/r.

I did and those files are still renamed. There is a bootanimation file in/ system/bin also but no file extention. Do I even have the right files renamed? I did not extract bootanimation.zip I copied to there.

Beats Audio boot animation for Galaxy Note
Pare, will this work on Galaxy Note? im dying to have some Cool HD bootanimation for this huge screen. If not, do you have any suggestion where I can get one?
THanks..

still no response?? :-(

How did you do that ?I mean i understand the part0,part1 folders,desc.txt and saving every frame,first one as 10001.png, the second one as 10002.png, and so on.
I just want to know how do you create the custom animation ?Generally,you can just download a video and extract the frames and the put them in a sequence.But,what if you want to create an animation using your own pic or something like that ?I don't understand how to draw your own frames.How would you do that ?

[Q] change cm9 boot logo

Is there a way to change the boot logo, the blue guy, to a different image?

Yes,...
As long as you installed AOKP SGT7 or CM9 correctly you shoul have root access.
1. Download Root Explorer from Google Play store if you don't have one yet.
2. Download the bootanimation zip file and rename it to bootanimation.zip
3. Using Root Explorer, go to /system/media folder. Change access to R/W by click the R/W button on the top.
4. Find and rename the original bootanimation.zip to origboot.zip.bak.
5. Move the new downloaded bootanimation.zip to /system/media
if still not clear,
Follow my signature.

ok. What about the logo before that.

that, you will need to tweak it in the kernel itself. Just leave it be for their credits of giving us this ROM.

not
is bootanimation not boot logo

Nearly a year of wrong word.

You can mount system through recovery. It should be easy to find.
But to change bootanimation just delete the original .zip and place the new one there, set permissions and done.

Which ROM are you using? The location of the bootanimation will vary depending on whether its like stock, or sense, or added bootanimation by dsixda ROM kitchen (you get the idea here).

A file explorer app like solid explorer or es file explorer lets you mount /syste m

im using the es explorer but i can't see any system location.

I would actually recomment root explorer for this simply cuz it doesnt have so much eye candy and everything is easier to see.
But nevermind that,in order to go to the system files (not the SD card files) you have to go to settings and tick all the boxes under root settings (or something with a similar heading). Then take the bootanimation you want (copy it).
The bootanimation for the ROM is different depending on the ROM. On AOSP and AOKP ROMs its in the /system/media folder. Simply rename the original bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip.bak just in case you want to change back. Paste your bootanimation and rename to bootanimation.zip. Then set the permission to rw-r-r.
I dont know where the bootanimation in Sense ROMs are though but the process is still the same.

Bootanimation locate in system/customize/resource
