[Q] Boot animation location

---

So I accidentally deleted the original bootanimation.zip when I was trying to install another bootanimation. I paste a bootanimation.zip file in the system/media/ folder and reboot but I still get a black screen. I even tried the /data/local/ folder and again same results. Anyone know where I am supposed to be this file as nothing works? Thank you in advance.

Did you set the right permissions before rebooting? It's in /system/media and permissions is 'rw-r--r--'

This is the settings:


Hope this helps making it work

@androhero I'm no closer than when I got the play, I'm really just an end user with some basic knowledge and how to make this work is over my head But maybe when things get settled with the bigger development things going on one of the brighter heads here could take it on. One could think of freexperia team

Thank you for the screenshot, I applied what you showed me and I am still not getting a bootanimation when I reboot. Still getting black screen. I will try a different bootanimation file, maybe the one I am using is bad or maybe the phone does not like it. Thank you for your help though Dousn I realy appreciate it.

Does anyone have any ideas as to why my bootscreen is not working?

Make sure your bootanimation.zip is zipped up with no compression

Open adb shell and try this

su

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

dd if=/sdcard/bootanimation.zip of=/system/media/bootanimation.zip

Then reboot and try again.
