I tried replacing my boot animation with a different one, place the new animation in /system/media. When I reboot I just get a black screen. I didn't back up the old animation. Im on MavRom 4.0
How do I fix this?

The easiest way would be to use Rom Toolbox to change the boot animation; it has the stock boot animations for the entire droid line. MavROM uses the stock D3 boot animation (which is the same as the D2 and D4... come on moto, why are you so lazy...)
It will save you all the trouble of manually swapping them, permissions, etc. and it has a very nice list of boot animations as well.

...Hey all. I've been running a rooted (thanks psouza!) XT860 with Hashcode's tweaked Bootstrap recovery for about a month now with nary an issue, but yesterday something weird happened..
The usual boot animation is of course the red "Dual Core" Motorola logo, that then begins to throb, or pulsate or whatever...but yesterday I re-booted the phone and now the old, plain "android" text, boot animation comes up...the same one that use to be on my old Milestone.
It's not a problem per se, but is there any obvious reasons for this spontaneous boot animation switcheroo? where did this old animation even come from?

Has anyone been able to change the boot and down animation?
I hate the rogers logo.
Just renamed the roger down and boot animation, then uploaded new ones.
Works like a charm.
I installed a custom boot animation but it seems that I'm always stuck with the "This build is for development purposes only..." message, it'd be much kooler if I could see my boot animation cause it actually takes time for my phone to boot up.
Anyone knows how to do this?
Bootscreen
I was trying to change boot animation on my phone (xperia x8) but i had the same problem... it didn't change ... just no animation at all...
so you have to either stick with the animation you have or flash a rom with animation you like...
If you want just return to previous animation go to recovery...mounts and storage....format system(only...not full wipe) and then flash your rom again : )
I think we need s-off to remove the red text .So it is not possible to remove it atm.
Look at this thread if you want more info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1786498
But DONT Try this untill we get an s-off for this device

well, for me (nameless 6) i have the dev message only at the splash screen, but the bootanimation works fine, without the message.
maybe the animation you used wasnt compatible with the phone?
Same goes for nameless v7. I have installed a custom bootanimation using the aroma installer. When I reboot, it comes up with the red text but still has the bootanimation shortly after. Make sure the resolution of the bootanimation is 640x480

Hi all. My Moto X is unlocked and I've been trying to get a custom boot animation on it by switching out the bootanimation.zip in the system/media folder (using ROM toolbox to facilitate this). Problem is every boot animation is too small and has a huge black border around it when I boot up. I gave up and downloaded the stock one and tried to go back to that and... STILL the black border. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Bump.
Bada bing bada bump.
It's because those boot animations are made for a different size screen. You have 3 options. You can either grab the boot animation, extract it, resize the images, then zip it back up, or you could find a boot animation for your X, or you can make one yourself.

That's the weird thing. I grabbed the official Moto X boot animation, and the Moto X is only 720p anyway (pretty small by smartphone standards). What dimensions should I be changing it to?

If it is the official Moto X boot animation then try placing it in system/media manually. You may want to back up the current boot animation first.

The splash screens and sounds at boot and shutdown are the last pieces of tmo branding on my phone. How do I go about removing them?
You can find them under /system/media
Thanks for that tip. I also found this thread which has stock LG boot animations.
