Thanks for this! Nice

love this!! .. would it be possible to get a shutdown animation too? cause there's one here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10926995&postcount=4 but it's not compatible with cwm3, nor does it have your customizations which I love.
Thanks

Thanks for reminding me! I had originally intended to do just that, but completely spaced it. I've attached it here and updated the OP. Certain kernel limitations forced me to shorten the sequence.

shutdown works perfect! love it!! thanks!!!

why am I dumb?
I can't ever get any of these to work...I install custom ROM's and widget mod's through CWM3 all the time, and boot ani's just never seem to work. I'm running Viper ROM now. I've downloaded the .zip, boot into recovery, choose install .zip, go to the file, install it....system says, it was installed properly, reboot..same boot screen as before.
what am I missing?
UPDATE: The shutdown loaded correctly, and it's awesome....still having issues with the bootup though. harumph.

This worked, but then I started getting a bunch of FC's. Then I ran ROM Manager permissions fix and it got rid of most of the FC's except for google framework which is very important. I have no idea how this could have caused these issues. But after restoring my nandroid backup (Thank God I backed up!) everything was back to normal.

When you three-finger-boot into ClockworkMod recovery there's a backup/restore and it's called nandroid backup. It works very well backing up everything on your phone system/data/settings, everything.
The custom ROM I have came with the ROM Manager apk (which is run on the phone). It has an option to fix permissions which corrects the file permissions of all of your apps and data for root access in case permissions get corrupted. Sometimes when you install a new mod/zip the file permissions either get corrupted or are not given (I'm no dev, so I don't know the specifics). If you get a lot of ForceCloses this will fix them in most cases.
I don't know exactly what happened, but I'm 99% sure it was from installing this shutdown animation and after restoring (again through CWM3) it works fine now.
Hope that helped.

I booted into CWM right after posting that and found the fix permissions option you were talking about. I had already been performing the nandroid backups, but didn't know they were called that. Thanks for the quick response!
I'm still not able to get the boot animation to work though. The power down worked, and it's pretty cool....anybody got any ideas?

Good looking out bro, This animation always stayed in my Moment as a back up cause I liked it so much.

maybe this...?
could it be because my kernel is 2.6.32.9?

That's the same kernel I'm on. Should work just fine, perhaps there is some conflict with the new ViperROM? Haven't tested it on that ROM since I first released this. I know they have lots of modifications, even to the kernel I believe.

You need to have a kernel that supports boot animation chnges. Mammon was the one who did this for 2.1, I believe he was the one who did it for 2.2 as. Well.

[Q] Flashing Boot Animation

Hey heres the rundown.
Captivate running Andromeda3 with the Ursa Minor kernel. I just downloaded the new Nexus Prime boot animation from the link below. Flashed it through CWM but now when I boot it just plays the Andromeda boot animation. Am I missing out on something here?
Link to the BA: http://www.droid-life.com/2011/10/08/download-nexus-prime-boot-animation/

It installed it to the wrong directory.
That script flashed it to /data/local
For our phones bootanimation.zip is installed to /system/media.
Use a root file explorer and paste it in the aforementioned location.

Cool. Thanks for the help. But one more thing, how did you know that? Im asking so in the future I can troubleshoot little problems like this on my own.

The link you gave says where it installs to right in the paragraph...
I know where boot animations go, and that wasn't it.
I mean this in the nicest possible way but please read everything you're about to flash BEFORE you flash it or you could very possibly brick your phone.

The boot animation from the Nexus Prime aka Galaxy Nexus that was teased to us earlier in the week is now available for everyone to play with. The instructions we have are for flashing in Clockwork Recovery, but if you aren’t rooted, you will have to do it the old fashioned way by extracting and moving the bootanimation.zip into /data/local or wherever your particular phone pulls media from.

I read it, I just didnt know that our phones pull media from another folder. Also the way it is worded kind of confused me. I appreciate the warning though. Been on here a little over six months now and havent managed to brick yet because I typically do more reading than posting. Thanks for the help.

Lollipop boot animation

I may be in the minority but I like the original Kitkat boot animation that carried on to Lollipop 5.01. Also I would like to keep that original boot screen and animation in case something goes wrong and I need to return the phone on the extended warranty I have. Now when I load the custom rooms, I get another boot logo and animation, a new M and colored dots running about the screen instead of the world thing that normally animates. How can I extract the animation sequence and either flash it back with TWRP or manually change it in my phone. Thanks.

Place bootanimation to system/media and set permissions to rw-r-r

After putting it in there and deleting the old bootanimation, making sure it was set for rw-r-r, and booting umpteen times, I have no animation at all now. I can open it up and run the animations inside it, so I know it's good. I did a search, and it's the only bootanimation.zip on my device but it still won't show when I boot. When I start up, all I see is the new "M" with the "by Lenovo" under the "M" and no animations. I don't know where that new "M" is coming from but it's not in the system/media directory.

I thought you are on stock rom but you flashed different bootanimation and you want old one.
I think video bootanimation works only on stock or the stock based rom. On which ROM you are ?
I am not sure , but I think that CM based rom dont support video mp4 bootanimations.
I read somewhere that some changes in the system / bin /bootanimation can help but I did not try.
Anyway if it is for waranty purposes as you said you can allways flash stock rom and you will have stock bootanimation.
But unlocked bootloader is generally no waranty

Yeah, I think you're right. I'm using Shawn's Titan Prime and his animation is a series of "png" files that I would have known if I'd looked at it.. I'll go back to the Rom's original one now. Thanks for the help.

You can try with instructions on this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-university/guide-set-video-bootanimationtesters-t2915445
But backup first your original bootanimation binaries from system/bin and bootanimation zip from system/media.
Many people who have tried say it works.

It worked, Boot time is much faster now also. Thanks

System Media Folder

Hi can some one please post the System/Media/ folder. I've been trying to resolve an issue i have with the boot animation and i was wondering if just replacing the whole folder would fix it.

What are you trying to do?

Im trying to fix the issue i had here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-tmobile/help/boot-animation-trouble-experience-t3036965
I tried changing roms to Firekat for about 3 days and during that time i got the old boot animation back. But when i switched back to my old recovery i lost it again.
It seems when I installed "CWM_CustomBootanimation_44_Enable.zip" as stated in the link, i lost the ability to boot up to a ".qmg" or a "bootanimation.zip"
Ive tried both.

Flashable zip?...
Hey man
I don't think you still have this problem...
But this zip that you are saying to us, is a flashable one...
You should try to flash it with a custom recovery
Sorry for my english if it's bad

Note 4 - System/Media
Yeah, so can someone please post that now? Put up a couple screenshots & or a detailed list. I used the S Boot Animations App to download & install new bootanimation for my Note 4. The one I liked was corrupted so I settled for another & it worked fine. Then I tried making the corrupted one work by downloading the GIF & renaming it a qmg, but it didn't work & now when it boots it only loads the Galaxy Note 4 still frame for the whole duration. I put the boot file I didn't like as much back up & it does the same thing. It's as if, even though I only replaced one file with an identical file, that I accidentally erased something else important & against caution I did not make a backup before doing any of this, because it sounded too hard to mess up, but here I did it... So it would be great to see what comes stock with every Note 4 in this file address: System/Media
I can only imagine how many people came to this link hoping it would be here so for me & all future idiots just like me 'if you got'em light'em up!'

2 Questions on customizing device

Hi, hopefully someone can help me, Ok first I have the At&t Nexus 6 and I've tried changing the bootanim and have had no success. I've used file managers and get the perms to rw-r-r making a custome flash zip to move it into data like u could on KitKat. Any Suggestions and or help would be hella awesome . Ok my second question is, Is there anyway to to change or get rid of that annoying At&t loading Anim when powering up?

AT&T branded stuff is in the /oem partition and will need to be removed from there.
