Hello,
My device is running nougat with an unlocked bootloader, custom recovery and rooted.
I tried to change my boot animation via /system/media and I gave a permission to read/write but it doesn't work then I tried a flashable boot animation but it kept the same.
Can someone point me where I am wrong?
Anything would be appreciated

PRODUCT\etc\media\bootanimation.zip
how did you expect it to work if there is no bootanimation.zip in system\media ?
however rebooting is not good for the performance of your device just like killing background apps all the time and its not even battery friendly but have fun.

Thank you my friend, It works
but believe there is another bootanimation there
Anyway, why you don't recommend changing it? :laugh:

You should not reboot your device too often maybe once a week.
Changing to a fancy bootanimation just lead you to rebooting

Has anyone found a way to disable system write protections? Trying to put a new boot animation in. I'm running OMJ's rom and yes I tried vipers system write protection disabler but it broke my wifi and its the wrong firmware.
S-OFF?

You need to look at S-OFF. Vipers' solution isn't really a substitute. If you're on the newest bootloader you may be hosed though on that front.

I am s-off. But I can't edit system files?
One way that's sort of worked for me is to prime the stock rom with whatever I wanted beforehand. For example, I deleted the Sprint bloat from the stock rooted rom before flashing so that they never actually get installed. You could do the same with a boot animation.

True, I'm probably doing it wrong. I'm trying to change my boot animation. So I have the zip (nonflashable) on a usb connected with an OTG cable and I'm trying to replace the old animation with this one.
Ok figured it out. Used FX instead of ES and it worked -_-. I feel stupid.
New question. If I don't like the current bootdown can I just delete it with no problems?
Thanks for all the help

bootloop by boot animation ? rom toolbox is doing something wrong
look for any boot animation over forums and place it in system/media replacing the old bootanimation.zip and set right permissions and reboot
if something went wrong by placing bootanimation , device shell boot without bootanimation

You guys know Kitkat version has this shiny flaring effect when you swipe to unlock, right? On my machine, this effect suddenly disappeared... I didn't do anything. Theme wasn't changed whatsoever.
Anyone has the same experience??

Try moving xperia lockscreen.apk to your sdcard from /system/app then reboot then move it back and then give permissions 0644 (rw-r-r)

Trying to swap it out in system/media/bootanimation.zip but it's not taking. Also tried replacing the sprint_bootanimation.zip but that didn't work either.
And yes, I changed permissions. Any advice
look in /carrier/cust/poweron
Thanks bro, it worked!
Edit: What bootani are you using? I'm using a Android M bootani I found on the International thread. Do you have a boot down ani?

Stock. I deleted the Sound on boot and that's why I knew where it was.
And for those that want to do the same
Using root explorer (had to mount R/W) if I recall, I renamed
/carrier/cust/poweron/PowerOn.ogg to /carrier/cust/poweron/PowerOn.ogg_
and
/carrier/cust/poweroff/PowerOff.ogg to /carrier/cust/poweroff/PowerOff.ogg_
Now it's silent on reboot.
Thanks again.
Hey guys I accidently replaced the stock boot animation. Any chance one of you guys could upload the original boot animation from carrier/cust/poweron ? Thank you!

Look in system/media/audio/PowerOn.ogg, PowerOff.ogg
I renamed it here and in /carrier/cust/... for ZV6
Ok, so I'm trying to swap out my boot animation and I'm just getting the default Android one. I've renamed the bootanimation.zip in /carrier/cust/ as well as /system/media/ to bootanimation.zip.bak and copied the replacement bootanimation.zip into the /system/media/ directory and changed the permissions to rw-r-r (644) and still nothing. I'm currently on a rooted ZV6 build. Anybody got any ideas? Am I missing something?

MM will not support sound in the boot animation, only a carrier added boot animation, that's added to the device, and not through the normal way a boot animation is added, will it support sound.

That's what i thought thanks for the info. I'd like to research that special way/reverse engineer
I think that google let sounds in the boot animations up ice cream sandwich, then stopped letting in sounds. buts that's official boot animations. about the provider animations I am clueless.
Just need to find someone with stock Boot so i can look in the usual places first need to see the desc.txt file and that will point me in the right direction
