[JSmurfy]

I have tried flashing damm near every Animated Boot Screen i have made flashable from XDA and none wanna work..

what am i suppose to do to get a diff boot animation screen on this device??

 

[teh roxxorz]

Adb:

adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
adb reboot

Root explorer:
enable r/w mode
move the bootanimation.zip file to the /system/media folder

I just got mine to work, only took a minute to do. If you go to root explorer do he following.

1. find the file in system/customize/resources named bootanimation.zip (it may have something else in front of it. Mine was spc_bootanimation.zip)
2. click at the top where is says r/w
3. find the boot animation you want to find and long press and choose mve
4. put it in the file system/customize/resources and paste it there
5. longress and change the permissions to match the origial one
6. change the name of the old one (i put a one at the end of bootanimation)
7. change the nam of the new anmation to what the original was
8. change back to r/o same way you changed to r/w
9. reboot nd enjoy.

By the way, /system/customize/resource is for sense, aosp is /system/media.

Sorry I didn't specify, I thought that cm roms were all sense. Thanks for the info roxxorz, good to know if I ever go back to an aosp.

Just for future reference, if you ever say 'I thought CM was sense' someone of ignorance spots it, they'll flame you horribly.

But yea, CM = AOSP = No sense. So you have to push the bootanimation.zip to the correct folder,

Crap, I was confused I forgot I flashed from evo deck which was cm kernel and aosp, I'm now on misfits rc1 which is like a sense/gengersense mix, really nice, but not cm. I forgot I changed to misfit therefore te cm being sense lol. My own ignorence. Thanks for the info man. I'm still learning very slowly lol.



Hey JSmurfy, if you want a custom splash page and cant get it in adb I have the file you would need to flash it as well. I finally got mine changed using it since i can't us adb to push it to the phone. Just let me know.

Well easy to get it confused because there are 'senseless' roms, which is htc sense removed, so it LOOKS like AOSP, with the vanilla [CM style lock screen]. You just have to make sure what the rom says in the features, ect.

If you can't/not good with adb, you can use root explorer [purchase or search through google] to move it to the correct folder.

Thats what I did, using root explorer and it works great. With adb I get it to find my phone but when I try to push something to it, it starts to go and then fails says no remote access or something like that. With some research everything I found saysit's because myhboot is 2.10 and with that hboot you can't flash but since my buil is the 40000 block build I cant downgrade my hboot so had to find a work around.

You can use adb with hboot 2.10, I do so all the time. Just when using adb, be sure to always enter in adb remount before doing anything. It would look like this:

adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
adb reboot

And you'd be done.

OMG where have you been. I have been searching for 3 freaking days and everyone says you cant with 2.10. You my just became my new bestfriend lmao.

adb on my linux pc aint workin.. but i still wanna thank you for the info

ok.. final question.. do i have to move can i not just long press, copy, then paste.. i dont wanna move my file out of there.. for safe keeping.. cause i have all my folders in order and stuff

 

[JSmurfy]

wooo hoo im convinced i have to be either the dumbest person on this site orrrrr im being over cautious.. when i went intothe system/media folder it said audio only.. no other file was in there just that folder which was a sub folder for alarms, notofications, ringtones, ui

am i missing somthing

One day, I made a uot theme for cm7 and instead of choosing cm7 for bootanimation, I chose sense. It worked. BUT when I flashed new themes with different bootanimations that I correctly chose cm7 for, it didn't work. It stayed on the sense one. Trying reflashing cm7 and then move files.with root explorer

[JSmurfy]

ok if i wasnt confused before.. now i definitely am.. HUHHHH

 

[Crossrocker]

Go to system/customize/resource and delete bootanimation.zip and whatever the audio file is.. if there is one. Then try to flash your bootanimation

Christ...

OK, look, for CyanogenMod-based ROMs, just put the bootanimation.zip in /data/local

No screwing around with /system, or anything. Plus, this way, you'll keep your boot animation even if you upgrade the ROM, like from 7.0.3.1 to 7.1.0.

So when it's all said and done, the ZIP file should be

/data/local/bootanimation.zip

Enjoy.
