[Q] Enabling bootanimation from kernel source (P6810 7.7 samsung gtab)

---

Hi all !

I'm trying to release a custom kernel for the P6810 7.7 samsung tab with bootanimation support. I managed so far to enable init.d scripts support, undervolting and governor's stuff which is a good start.

However, I don't get why the bootanimation method is not working. I tried to take bootanimation.zip from cm9, cm10 (from Locerra which work with his kernel) and others. All I have is a black screen.

This is what I did (I took this from the eZynow) :

I copied bootanimation and samsungani from the cm10 bin folder to mine : I tried with stock files and theses one but none of them worked.
I added this to the init.rc :

service samsungani /vendor/scripts/bootanimation.sh
    class main
    user graphics
    group graphics
    disabled
    oneshot

and this is the bootanimation.sh :

#!/sbin/sh
if [ -f /system/media/bootanimation.zip ]; then
    /system/bin/bootanimation
else
    /system/bin/samsungani
fi;

Permissions' files have been checked and are 755 for all of them.

What am i missing ? Should I enable some option(s) in the kernel's configuration ?

Thanks for your answers !
