boot animation not working - Nexus S General

Hey all,
I'm sorry if this is a rehash of somebody else's problem, but I did some searching and couldn't find anything that seemed applicable to my situation.
Running Nexus S with cyanogenmod 7.1.0.1, downloaded from http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=crespo
I am also running the latest ClockworkMod Recovery, having just updated it today. I updated via the internal update function on ROM manager.
Everything is working find, except that no matter what I do, boot animations don't run, and I get a black screen instead. The only time I didn't have a black screen was the first bootup after installing cyanogenmod update from sdcard via clockwork. This showed the default bootanimation. I then attempted to install the Speedo II animation from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1053250
Immediately after, I only got a black screen on bootup. I tried flashing the bluehallway animation (also from same gallery). I then tried using SDK to push both animations to the phone at /system/media. Neither worked. I also tried to use ES file manager to swap out the bootanimation files in /system/media/ manually. Neither worked.
I then re installed CyanogenMod and repeated the steps listed above. Same result.
As far as I can tell, I have been undergoing the same procedure as when I changed my bootanimation to red rage (don't remember where I got it) On a previous version of CyanogenMod.
I have no idea what the problem is. Please help!

Sounds like it wasn't compressed properly
choose STORE in compress method when zipping back your animation sounds like they chose normal compression and this causes the desc and bootanimation not to work and all you get is blakcscreen
anyways try flashing mine

Welp, that works perfectly. Thanks a ton! So could you explain the whole compression thing you talked about?

when you compress the boot animation back up it will be on normal compression by default you don't want this. You have to select store

if you're installing them in /system/media/ make sure to not have any bootanimation.zip in /data/local/ because that's where the system look up first

Install instructions (must be rooted):
Place contents of shutdown.zip in directory: /system/media/video/shutdown
Place contents of shutdown_128.zip in directory: /system/media/audio/ui
easiest way to do it is through root explorer. Try this animation out and let me know what you think, I'm also working on a few more
wrong section.. this belongs in the Theme & Apps forum but this looks pretty good.

thanks, I did a serach for shutdown animation and all the posts were on general so I put it here
Hey I like it. Better than that pink flying around the screen crap.
Didn't work for me. Contents where they belong but the phone just shuts down normally, no new sound or animation
Didn't work for me either...
It looks like it should, but like the previous post, it just shuts down with no animation and no sound.
how are you guys getting the files in the directory?
More detailed explanation please
Hello,
I would like to put this shutdown on my vibrant. I am running Bionix 1.3.1.
I have changed boot animations many times but never shutdown animations.
Can someone give more detailed instructions please? Do I replace these entire folders with the new folders? These are zip files so should I flash through recovery?
Confused at the moment.
Or, does anyone have any great shutdown animations for Bionixx 1.3.1?
Thanks for your help.
You will also need a kerel that supports bootanimations and shutdown ones too. I found that out just recently myself as I was throwing some metroid icons and animations onto my phone.
Kernel?
I know that I can change my bootanimation, never tried to change the shutdown one.
Follow the op's instructions ...if you copy the folder then you will need to make it lower case.....also if running a custom kernel you wont get sound
Got it working I much prefer it over original bionix 1.3.1 shutdown

Hi Guys,
Just posting this here so you don't have to sort through the 38 page thread to find it
DISCLAIMER: This is not a ROM or Kernel update, simply a theme to make it LOOK like it
http://www.apksmash.com/x5/GB.zip
To install just boot in to recovery and choose install zip from SD card and navigate to the folder. Install and enjoy
WARNING!
Currently the menu items are black text on black backgrounds but the clock is back in this version (as opposed to earlier versions)
I recommend doing a backup prior to installing this theme.
Would be nice with a few screenshots here. Any possibility of you making some and posting them?

Applied the theme to my AU Roadhound phone. Some word appear black on a black background like "USB Debugging Enabled" when you plug it in to the computer or when you get a new message you won't see the text in the bar. Other than that, looks great.

See what I mean, I just got a message but:
Some places just look a little odd:
excuse me,which rom is this theme based on?
there are chinese unicom version,Australia version,hongkong version ,Malaysia version,overseas version.
i only heard about the Australia version from u,but haven‘t seen any download link before
I believe this is for b136 (Malaysia Maxis)
Sorry for asking, but I booted into recovery and tried to install update.zip. It finds the file and tries to verify it but fails at that stage. Have I misunderstood something?
Thanks for your theme,I have already transplanted it to Unicom Rom。but I can't deal with the problem you have mentioned.But I have searched the forum。I think this will be help

The framework is a bit of a mess and needs to be cleaned up to be compatible with apktool, otherwise you can't change the text colour.
I did a bit of experimentation a few weeks ago but I think whenever I changed the text colour it would boot but pretty much every app would fc (couldn't even see if the changes worked) and I ended up giving up. I was able to apply some mods using the uot kitchen though which was pretty cool.
Anyone that is interested it doesn't require a programmer to do this stuff, if you're interested in themes do a bit of reading and you might be surprised what you can do.

[bootanimation]tweaked ics

Stock is too bright and shows too much color banding
Adjusted the gamma on the images. Made darker and colors little more vibrant
Install:
Flash threw CWR
Alternate install methods [root required]
Use the bootanimation.zip below
Place in data/local folder then reboot
no need to set permissions leave as is
this will bypass default animation and when you want to revert back simply delete from local folder and will default back to stock
one thank to me for resize
a lot of thanks to demo23019 for this great work(for the nexus s device)

Thanks for that. I have been waiting for this.
thanks and thanks again.
I felt the same way. Thank you very much, its perfect.
Yes its good and its work thanks
For those of you on MIUI like me, I'll provide the steps to install it.
1. Download the boot-file.zip containing the "bootanimation" file.
2. Extract the file and place it in system/bin, replacing the old boot animation file (make sure there is no extension at the end, just bootanimation)
3. Give it the permissions using Root Explorer or equivalent: rwx-rx-rx (rwxrxrx)
4. Download ics_tweaked.mtz and place it in sdcard/MIUI/themes
5. Reboot, and them go Settings>Themes>Customize>Boot Animation> The new animation should be there.
6. Select it, Reboot, and Enjoy!
NOTE. If it isn't there, look at all the boot animations that are there, if there is one with no preview, select that one. That should be one containing the new animation.
*DISCLAIMER* This method worked for me and results may vary.
Works flawlessly, thanks.
Great boot animation and very easy to install.

I love it! However, to this day I still don't understand why certain boot animations cause the boot to freeze. Which is a problem I unfortunately have with this boot animation.
Looks nice!! Can you make one with the adventure time characters? .!!

long-press power button + volume up + volume down until it shutdown... after that reboot immediately in recovery and connect your phone to a pc..
Copy the stock bootanim inside platform tools folder on your pc or where you have adb and other tools
download the boot from here
http://d-h.st/4kc
Open a terminal in platform-tools folder
in recovery select install zip from sideload..
and sideload the bootanimation
Code:
adb sideload kitkat_Bootanimation.zip
it will flash the stock bootanim, reboot when finished and you will be able to boot your phone

[MOD][Template][N960F] *03.10.2018* Custom Splash Screen Changer [Exynos]

Had once a little boredom and made a MOD for the themeing of Custom Splash Screen. Just like S8(+) and S9(+). You can change now pictures without to modify and flash the bootloader (up_param.bin).
Important: The MOD only works with Exynos-9810-based devices!
Important2: Its untested, but works on my s8+ and on s9(+).

[FONT=&quot]Before you start, make a Nandroid (backup) of your system. Safe is safe![/FONT]​

How to Flash
Place the zip on the internal/external memory.
boots into Recovery
then click on "install" in the TWRP
searches for the folder where the zip file was placed
and flashes it by clicking on the zip and dragging the slider to the right at the TWRP
rebooting
How do I change the boot logo in the template?
open the exynos9810_N9_logochanger zip (with WinRar or 7zip) and replace the logo. jpg with another image of your choice
the new image must be renamed to logo. jpg again. Otherwise it won't work!
How to return to the Stock logo?
You don't like the custom logos anymore?
then just flash the zip appropriate for your device:
exynos9810_N9_logochanger_Stock_S9 (for Galaxy Note 9)
Troubleshooting
If your hanging in a bootloop without access to twrp, please reflash the bootloader via odin. TWRP and system boots up again.
Note:
Not all images work, the best results are achieved if you just edit the stock image.
