[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.

[BOOTANIMATION] P51xx Google Gears High Resolution

Attached is a high resolution Google Gears Boot Animation for the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 based on d-iivil's work for the Galaxy Nexus found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399016 (Thanks for your work d-iivil, much appreciated).
I am assuming it will work on all P51xx models, I tested it on my P5100 running CM10. I used ES File Explorer to perform the steps below, but you can also use Root Explorer.
Steps:
Download attached file Google_Gears_P5100_bootanimation.zip below
Rename the file to bootanimation.zip
Mount the system partition as RW
Copy the file to /data/local
Change the file permissions to rw-r--r--
That's it, reboot the device to test. If it does not work just delete the bootanimation.zip file you copied into /data/local
UPDATE: Check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1855700, post #4 to get it to work on Stock ROMs. (Thanks ketut.kumajaya)

thanks mate looks awesome will give it a try

Worked for me in cm10 nightly 20/8 p-5100 but i used different path i copied the original boot animation file in system/media to a safe place if i want to use it again by free app in google play called root browser lite and renamed your file to bootanimation.zip and copied it to that folder system/media and changed permissions to rw-r-r and rebooted and it worked !!
Thanks alot

Actually you can copy it to /system/media as you did, I opted to put it in /data/local so that whenever I flash a new CM10 nightly, it does not get overwritten.

Nexus 7 Boot Animation
I also kind of modified the stock Nexus 7 Boot Animation to work for the P51xx devices. It isn't as great as the Gears, but if someone wants it I can post it.
Let me know.

Good work. I will add a link to this thread in the OP of the 3xxx thread.

What ROM are you using? I am running CM10, and thats where I tested it. I haven't tested it on any other ROM. I am assuming it will work with any custom ROM, I could be wrong.

I think if you use stock rom it will not work it needs a custom rom as cm9 or cm10 you use free app like es file manager or root browser lite and copy animation to system/media to overwrite the original animation then change permissions by long pressing file and choosing change permissions to rw r r from above downwards then restart and see

Install ES File Explorer from the Play Store (It's free)
In ES File Explorer Settings, Mount the /system partition as R/W
To change permissions, long press on the file in ES FIle Explorer and choose Properties, then check all Read Checkboxes

Theoretically it should work, what happens when you install it? Did you follow the instructions?

I followed them to the letter - I renamed the zip file to bootanimation.zip, copied it over to data/local and fixed the permissions with Root Explorer but I just ended up with a blank screen when I booted. I also tried copying it to system/media and fixing permissions but with the same result.

Sorry, I just had to ask. Curious though, again theoretically it should work. I can try backing up and flashing CM9, but again I am running a P5100 and not a P5110. Anyone else get this to run on a P5110?

You must have rooted phone to do it.
If you have root then download root explorer from playstore.
Open root explorer go to system/media here you have to delete 3 files (bootsamsung.qmg,bootsamsungloop.qmg,shutdown.qmg)
Then you have to download and extract zip file from link below.
copy this 3 files in to same folder and set permissions to ( rwrr ) and reboot.
