Hey XDA
I just spent a good few minutes making my first ever boot animation and wanted to share it with you guys !

I've been using Mahdi ROM since day one on my G2, and have decided that as much as I like the stock google boot animation, I would much rather see an animation representing the custom ROM that I am using (apart from this very minor thing I think this ROM is perfect, I've pushed a score of 33000 on antutu and can get 40 hrs battery life with regular usage!)... It's probably just an OCD thing, but I think a custom ROM feels more unique with its own boot animation.

Like I said; This is my first ever boot animation made from scratch so it is very basic, but that was one of my prerequisites, and I like it, so I hope you do too!

To install, in case you're newer than me to this, you simply copy the file from your download folder to /system/media and rename he old boot animation to .bak or anything you like.

Download below, Thanks guys!

EDIT; THIS WILL NOT WORK WITH LG STOCK BASED ROMS

The only problem I have with this is that there are not enough frames, it looks very choppy. The sliding white bar is okay, could do with a few more frames to make it super smooth. Apart from that it looks so sexyy

You'll need to get into TWRP and use the file manager to replace your original boot animation or restore a system backup at this point. I suggest using Bootbox from the play store to install new boot animations in the future.

I have this issue now. I have stock recovery not TWRP. What do I do?

I followed the instructions to download. Re-named by original bootanimation.zip and placed this one in the system/media folder.

VZW LG G2 Rooted and Xposed - Stock Reocvery

Don't ever modify important system files without a custom recovery - this is a lesson to learn. The easiest thing for you to do now is run your stock recovery and factory reset your phone. If you decide to root again, install FreeGee and flash TWRP. Then run backups. (by the way, NEVER wipe your internal storage) If you decide to change your boot animation, use Bootbox from the playstore - it will do it for you and in most cases will not cause a bootloop. Good luck :good:

Yep tried the hard reset on the phone and the bad bootanimnation is still there and hanging. Will have to revert completely to stock when I get home to connect to my laptop. That seems like that should work. I hope

Can you access adb or fastboot? If you can access fastboot you could use:

fastboot flash recovery [recovery name here]

To flash twrp recovery and use the integrated file manager
Also, this will not work with stock (non AOSP) ROMs because LG uses a different boot animation system. Will update the OP to warn future people :)
