[Q] AT&T Stock Rooted (w\ CWM) - Any way to replace AT&T's boot animation?

[bella92108]

Any way to replace the ATT boot animation on stock rooted without going to a ROM like MIUI or CM7?

Thanks!

I used Entropy's Daily Driver Kernel

Once the kernel is in place, you can drop a replacement boot animation (bootanimation.zip) in /system/media. Works like a charm.

I'm on Codeworx's kernel. Can I do the same?

I don't think so. I think it's straight stock, with it's only addition being cwm recovery. But pop a bootanimation.zip into system/media and see what happens. The worst result would be --- nothing.

Where can I find a sample animation ?

So it didn't work.

So if I get entropy's daily, will I have to setup my icons and stuff all over, or will it affect my existing codeworx CWM or stock rooted ROM?

It's just a kernel. All of your themes and data and apps will not be affected.

I flashed entropy's daily.

Do you have a sample boot animation? When I try to put a bootanimation.zip into the directory it doesn't work.

 

[shishir95]

Where did you put a bootanimation.zip? It should be in /system/media

yeah that's where i put it. now when it boots there's no ATT boot logo but it's just black screen till the apps load.

Sounds like you're using a bootanimation not compatible with our resolution. Look in the Themes&Apps section for a boot animation to make sure it works. I can't upload one right now.

I got it from the serendipidy 8 thread. shouldn't that work?

Well let's debug, have you tried reflashing the latest experimental build of the kernel, and REMOVING the bootanimation.zip? Is the AT&T logo still showing up if there's no custom bootanim?

- Deleted bootanimation.zip (now there is no file named bootanimation.zip as before)

- Reflashed 10202011 DD

- AT&T default boot animation is back

Now throw in a bootanimation.zip in /system/media/ and make sure you change the permissions to rw-r--r--, or chmod 644 if you're using adb. That's important.

Which check boxes on the 9 box quadrant should I use in ROM manager when setting permissions? All 9 are checked. Just getting no boot animation again on boot.

Set those permissions. Still no animation just black. 2000% improvement over ATT, but still wanting to figure out the animation issue, hehe

 

[shishir95]

Maybe use a different bootanimation? look in themes/apps

There is a thread in this forum with Nexus Prime boot animation, the same one that is currently included with UnNamed rom. Also, look at the link in my signature for the android scribble bootanimation. These animations are 800 x 480 so they fit our screen.
