I have a Verzion Moto X. I did the camera update the day I got the phone (last saturday) and then rooted the phone with the new RockMyMoto. The phone is rooted and I have used some rooted apps. I am trying to flash a boot animation but when I do, the boot animation doesnt seem to flash.
I have used Rom Toolbox Lite to try to install some of their boot animations, no dice.
I have also tried adb.
Here is the boot animation I really want. Can someone test this animation to see if it works.

I had this extact same file installed on a GNex.
Thanks!

You need a recovery to flash a zip. Safestrap is the closest you will ever get to having one of those. Otherwise just install it the good old fashioned manual way. Place the bootanimation.zip in /system/media on your phone.

Just replace the current bootanimation.zip in that folder with a new, renamed "bootanimation.zip"? Set permissions (rw-r-r)?

Inside the flashable zip should be another zip called bootanimation.zip. Move it to /system/media overwriting the existing zip. Then change permissions to whatever the existing file has.

For some reason its not working. When I copy and paste the new boot animation to the system Media folder it will paste. Then shortly after it will automatically revert to the stock boot animation.

do just as the above poster i believe meta said. It sounds like you may not be booted into recovery mode when you try to do this. hold bolume down and power button to boot to your BL. Then click volume down to put the cursor on "recovery" then press volume up to select it. After it boots, take that bootanimation.zip that you want to use. delete the old one. paste the new one. change permissions to rw r r. then i always reboot back to recovery mode but i think that is just because i do it. Don't think it is necessary. You can also install adv power menu from the xposed framework and then you will have the ability to reboot your phone into recovery or BL or normal reboot or soft reboot all through the stock power down menu.
forgot to mention that if it is reverting back to the stock one. something is wrong. if you deleted the stock one (clearly move it to your computer so you can reinstall it if necessary) then it should not be able to revert back to stock. It can't recreate the file on its own.

Awesome! I've been waiting for this since I have this animation on my Desire Z.
Seems slightly laggy on the last few seconds, don't know if thats because it's loading or the animation.
I can see a split second of a white bar sometimes too at the bottom. Don't know how to replicate it though.
Perfect!! Thanks
Nice work, do you mind if I add your version to the big thread? We are still missing a Xoom version there
greetz
Yeah that's alright
I've been running this boot anim since you released it and I GREATLY appreciate the updates. It's the little things, you know..

Thanks, I'm glad you like it. However the original boot animation is not my own. I simply updated it.
Hi I can't move it do the data/local folder... U say that we don't need to be rooted but how can I move it? I'm not rooted
Thanks
Are you getting an error message or does it just sit there? If it just sits there, try using 'Copy' Instead of using 'Move'
I tried with Honeycomb file manager HD and Astro both using move or copy but I can't paste it in data/local they dont give me the option
So... how can I install it? Do I have to root?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Thanks, that's great. Now I feel like I need to power my Xoom off more often
Thanks for this boot animation! No doubt all my friends are going to download this when I show them, haha

Sorry for the late response. I guess in order to install the boot animation you need to use adb.
I've never been in your position as i have root. This is what I've found.
I am not responsible if you brick your device.
How to Install Using ADB
1. Download the boot animation file
2. Rename to bootanimation.zip
3. Copy to your "Tools" folder that contains adb commands
4. Open Command Prompt and enter the command below
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
Then to test:
Code:
adb shell bootanimation
I’ve confirmed that you do NOT need to be rooted to change your boot animation, although you will only be able to do so using ADB. To install a non-developers version of ADB, follow the instructions here: Setting up ADB on Windows 7 64 bit (and other Windows platforms)
To return to the stock boot animation, just remove or rename the .zip in /data/local and the system will default back to the stock one in /system/media provided you have not changed it in there.
If you feel the need to save the current bootanimation.zip file in that folder, then before copying over it, use this command to pull it into your SDK /tools folder, rename it, then copy the new one into the tools folder and push it onto the Xoom using the following command:
Code:
adb pull /system/media/bootanimation.zip bootanimation.zip
******************************** If you place one of the boot animations on your Xoom, then reboot and your device gets stuck in a boot loop, your file may be corrupted or something isn't quite right. Find a working boot animation in these forums and use the following commands to push them onto your Xoom via ADB. (It will save you having to re-flash your Xoom like I did the first time it happened to me.)
Code:
adb devices adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local

I love this retro boot screen. Can you update it for 3.2?
needs 3.2 update !
blinking char
I love this bootanimation... but if you're updating it to 3.2... can I also make a request? how about a small square like character (like █ ) blinking in the bottom of the screen like old school loading from DOS? it would add just another image and keeping looping the current last one and this one with the square character, showing that XOOM is still alive when the boot is slow (like when updating and/or cleaning cache/dalvik cache...)
tks!

I hope you lot dont mind it simply being 4.0. These rom versions are change so quickly.
this is my first attempt at a boot animation and has been tested on my own device (LG optimus one running Mik_OS 6.5.4 cm7 rom)
i take no liability in how it runs on your device
i am still trying to figure out how to add sound to the bootanimation as all methods i have seen online do not work on my device. if you would like the sound file that goes with this and know how to activate your boot sound pm me and i will send it too you
instructions
*device must be rooted*
**i use root explorer for file moving**
download vtwinboot.zip
extract files (bootanimation.zip, please read mefirst.txt) to an easy accesable folder on your computer
get the bootanimation.zip onto your sd card
copy it from sd card root to devices "/data/local" folder
Reboot
anyone feel free to add CONSTRUCTIVE info to this thread, PLEASE DO NOT RESELL this anywhere i do not mind distribution for FREE to anyone, if some one wants to pay me for my time via donation great but otherwise if i see this in the market requireing payment and i dont get none you can bet yer butt i wil lsend an army of smurfs to your home to sodmize your garden gnomes.

[SEP.21.2011][SPLASH]New HTC "Stock" Splash Screens for HD2 Gingerbread Sense ROMS
Been a while since I published anything here and figured today would be a good day to do just that!
Here you will find my custom made splash screens & boot animation for Gingerbread Sense builds. It should work on ALL Gingerbread Sense ROM's currently available and is compatible with all current Gingerbread Sense compatible kernels.
Without further adieu, I present you the newest HTC "Stock" splash screen
"HTC- Together with Google"

Installation instructions
***First and foremost, extract the zip file to a folder on your desktop. It is NOT a stand-alone CWM zip file!***
To install the first splash screen(displayed before MAGLDR):
1. Power off your HD2.
2. Holding the volume down key, press the power button and turn on the device. Continue to hold the volume down key until you see a rainbow screen. This is the bootloader screen.
3. Plug your HD2 into your PC and you should see it switch to "USB". Your PC may need to install drivers. If it does, wait for it to finish and then you should see "USB" on your device.
4. Once you are connected to your PC and your phone displays "USB", open the folder labeled "First (Before MAGLDR)" and run "CustomRUU.exe". Follow the on-screen prompts and instructions and you will soon see it flashing your device. Don't worry, this will not erase anything on your device. It will only change the first splash screen you see before MAGLDR and nothing else.
5. Once the update is complete, your phone will reboot itself.
6. Enjoy your new first splash screen!
To install the second splash screen(displayed after MAGLDR):
1. Copy "HTC_Splash_Screen.zip" to somewhere on your SD card that you will remember where it is.
2. Reboot your device and hold the power key until you boot into MAGLDR.
3. Select option 8 to boot into CWM Recovery.
4. Using install zip from SD Card option, browse to where you copied the zip file to and select it as the file you want to install.
5. After installation has finished, reboot recovery and your phone will boot back up again into Android.
6. Enjoy your new second splash screen!
To install the Boot Animation(displayed after 2nd Splash Screen):
1. Copy "HTC_Boot_Animation.zip" to somewhere on your SD card that you will remember where it is.
2. Reboot your device and hold the power key until you boot into MAGLDR.
3. Select option 8 to boot into CWM Recovery.
4. Using install zip from SD Card option, browse to where you copied the zip file to and select it as the file you want to install.
5. After installation has finished, reboot recovery and your phone will boot back up again into Android.
6. Enjoy your new Boot Animation!
You will find the download for this great new HTC "Stock" Splash Screen and Boot animation below.
Enjoy and don't forget to hit the Thanks button if you enjoy my work!
I never thought it was possible to flash roms from CWM, will give it a shot thanks !

Splash 1(before MAGLDR) is to be flashed from bootloader using CustomRUU. NOT CWM. If you try to use CWM it will just fail since it's not a CWM zip file.
Splash 2(after MAGLDR) is to be flashed from CWM.
Read the instructions I wrote up in the first post and it will walk you through every step of the process.
Enjoy!
Boot animation removed temporarily. Ironing out some bugs.
EDIT: Boot animation is fixed and back online! Enjoy folks!!

Thanks to Android-Police for posting the flashable for me to grab the files from for this.
What is this?
It's a Windows script for flashing the 4.2 Camera+Gallery files through adb.
What are the requirements?
Be unlocked bootloader, with the insecured boot.img installed
You can find the unsecured boot.img to flash in my root thread, in the zip labeled as "razr_i_boot_insecured.img"
Code:
fastboot flash boot razr_i_boot_insecured.img
What works?
Taking pictures. Taking 720p and 1080p video.
Gallery*
What doesn't work?
Panorama.
Photosphere.
*Some functions in gallery force close.
Physical camera button for booting to camera from locked.
Will this remove my normal Camera+Gallery?
No, just adds another set.
Note: I removed the original Camera+Gallery (renamed to .bak the MotGallery2 and MotCamera apks in /system/app/ and see this as lockscreen, but the camera button doesn't launch it anymore, just takes pictures:
How do I go back to normal?
My Homemade fastboot thread, or an official FXZ from The Firmware Team.
Instructions:
Have unsecured boot.img installed (see above requirements).
Enable USB Debugging in Settings > Developer Options.
Plug in USB cable if you haven't already.
Double-click 'Install.bat' and let 'er rip!
Download:
Batakang
Enjoy!
Didn't work for me.
Device unlocked
Flashed 81.5.39002.Retail.en.EU - 4.0.4
Unsecure boot flashed (after a first try, in case off)
Running the script is unsuccessfull (hard to read but had the time to read "permission denied").
When I try manually "adb wait-for-device remount" give me "remount failed: operation not permitted".
Any idea ?

You are using the secure boot.img. My Home-made flasher replaces the unsecure boot.img when its done rooting, as it says in my thread
Remount works only on the unsecured boot.img.
I PM u with a version that have photosphere working. There's any chance that, with this one, the photosphere starts working?
Another question: after upload the files, can I back the secure boot img?

That's the one I used, and it is indeed not fixed. You can flash the secure boot.img back after, the only reason for the unsecure is so we can use

Photoshphere can be funny on this phone as theres no gyroscope
Hello All,
I have a Nexus 6 (Hence the reason I'm posting in this thread) and I am not able to take screenshots after upgrading to Marshmallow 6.0. I would think to post in the thread of the current rom I'm running but I also full wiped and tried a different rom with the same result.
Every time I try and take a screen shot it says "Couldn't capture screenshot. - Can't take screenshot due to limited storage space, or it isn't allowed by the app or your organization." I would post a screenshot of what it's doing but... well... I think you get the point. I have plenty of storage space and I have dived into the various permissions settings on 6.0 but have yet to find out how to fix it.
Has anyone else had this problem across multiple roms and no luck with screenshots?
Currently running:
Chroma Oct-10-2015
Kernel:
3.10.40-Chroma-v1.01
Go to the screenshot directory and try to manually create any file there using your usual file manager/explorer.. If that fails,.it may be that the permissions are screwed which sometimes happens when you copy sdcard data back whilst in recovery.
If that sounds like your problem, there is a zip you can flash. Do NOT use "fix permissions" in recovery.

Why are you still in ES? The problem isn't permissions, it's ownership. Use my zip as was suggested by @danarama.
The permissions zip worked,
As to why I was "still in ES?" I like to have an understanding of how everything works. May not be the quickest way to fix a problem, but it allows process of elimination on my side to see what specifically the issue is.
I appreciate the .zip and suggestions everyone! Thanks!

Take screenshot on your PC
Well, I think maybe you can try taking the screenshot of your Nexus 6 on computer. Just don't do it on the phone if it keeps failing. Android Manager can do this and save the picture on your PC.
is it working now?
You can try to rename pictures to pictures2 and reboot your phone, this was a quick solution on the oneplus one, if it works, but it's a dirty solution.
