[BOOTSCREEN] Hero/NexusOne Hybrid & NexusOne

Firstly, the NexusOne bootscreen is the official one, I DIDNT make it, the hybrid one was stitched together by me, i didnt make the designs though. The Hybrid version allows a nicer transition between the bootscreen and the splash on Heros.
[in the previews, the animation just loops, when you add the bootscreens, only the nexusone splash loops until your phone boots up]

IF YOU'RE ON A MAGIC:
JokerAce said:
I am using 32A Magic which is currently running on MyHero Rom. I managed to loadup the NexusOne.
However, it its only made possible when I change the file path. For my magic, my boot files are in the system/media/. Not the stated system/media/bootscreen/.
Also, after apply these changes, I need to change the boot_animation.xml details within. Removing the "bootscreen" in those file path.
After this, I am able to have the nice bootscreen.
Thanks shenshang.

I like it! Thanks!

i cant dl frm rapidshare.. or mega upload.... can add other link or can u email to me? [email protected] thanks in advance (hybrid w/sound)

Is it just me, or does this lag a lot while playing?
It doesn't play smoothly at all for me.
I feel like my phone is so slow.

Would this work on a G1? Hmmmm

it should, but you wont be able to install via update.zip, you will need to use ADB to push all the files to:
Code:
/system/media/
NOT
Code:
/system/media/bootscreen
(ive only tried this on the magic, but it should work for dream as they have the same format.....)

Would i be able to do it through terminal emulator?

yeah, as long as you can use "su" and copy the files to the directory. you could also use a file manager that uses root, like root explorer or sufbs.

Haha I'm sorry.. but is there like a tutorial on how to do it through terminal
I tried setting up adb but I can't seem to get it to work
Eddiiiittt... --- I can't find anything about this without using ADB

just want to say thanks. this worked on my CDMA Hero (i used the no sound hybrid)

Your hero can install via the update.zip format using your recovery.
For magic, you will need to use adb to push/use a file manager to copy the files to /system/media/ NOT /system/media/bootscreen/

Got FONT??

Iv'e noticed alot of people looking for different fonts, such as myself. i dont know if this is a good idea but i would like to start this forum /archive for new and unique fonts that work on our android devices.
If your unsure of how to apply your new font here are a couple of links that can help.
http://www.gadgetsdna.com/custom-fonts-installation-on-rooted-android-device/696/#ixzz0z6f5nAjM
If you perfer script free and(or) have typefresh in your market, this should be helpful...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=717548

The thing is that often these fonts aren't free, costing up to $200 a font.
So sharing them here on XDA wouldn't be to cool.
But yeah. I've found some sweet fonts in my time. Not particulary for Android - dafont has a lot of fonts.

Most of the fonts I've found are free to use so not sure where you get that from. No doubt you do have to pay for some, but the majority are free.
In response to the OP, I've found 99% of .ttf fonts work however, not all look right. My preferred font is Sony Sketch which for the most part looks ok, but there are instances where it doesn't but I can live with it, so have found it to be trial and error with most fonts I have tried at getting the balance right when it comes to being workable and aesthetics.

You're right. Most fonts are free, but the ones you really fall in love with often cost a lot. I've been there, lol. But I agree. Some sort of collection of fonts that work on Android would be cool.

I use 'chinacatthin.ttf'
Works great on my x10. It's for free everywhere on the net.

By using TypeFresh & AndExplorer, have a read of this - Changing Fonts on X10, some have said just copy and pasting using RootExplorer works but not tried it myself.

So after reading the past few pages, I was left NOT KNOWING HOW TO INSTALL A FONT.
I KNEW IT HAS TO DO WITH ADB, so ... I'm gonna give it a shot.
These instructions are proven to work on my Nexus.
I followed these steps twice today, making sure they are accurate.
I even went to far as to UNDO, REDO, and grabbed some screenshots along the way
If these instuctions don't work for you, please don't hold me liable!

Run this code to locate your fonts folder:

I guess since we'll be messing with a critical folder of the phone, we should stop shell and remount?! Then push new font(s) and reboot.
Now go find a font.ttf that you like. Put it in your tools folder.
I chose Comfortaa. The zip contains: Comfortaa Thin.ttf, Comfortaa Regular.ttf, and Comfortaa Bold.ttf
I only want (to try) Bold and Regular.
I FOUND that the font being pushed can NOT have any spaces, oops.
Code:
adb shell stop
adb remount
adb push ./_STUFF/fonts/Comfortaa-Regular.ttf. /system/fonts/DroidSans.ttf
adb push ./_STUFF/fonts/Comfortaa-Bold.ttf /system/fonts/DroidSans-Bold.ttf

You should have a new font now.

***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** *****
As you've noticed, I keep all my STUFF here: D:/android/tools/_STUFF/fonts/
Feel free to keep yours elsewhere. As long as it's in the android/tools folder, you should be okay.
Instead of flashing a zip on your sdcard as mentioned earlier in this thread, I like doing it this way, so you can just as easily UNDO the font install. As long as you know how to ADB, you can install a font, and tons more!

You should have a normal version and a bolded version - so 2 .ttf files.
1. adb pull /system/fonts/
2. copy the folder for backup then delete the .ttf's for clocktopia, droidsans, and droidsans-bold
3. make 2 copies of your new font's regular typeface ttf and rename them Clocktopia.ttf and DroidSans.ttf; obviously do the same with the bold typface .ttf and rename it to DroidSans-Bold.ttf (The folder you pulled should look identical but those 3 .ttf files should be the renamed files containing your new font.
4. adb push fonts /system/fonts and you win.
It's hard, I know. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=change+android+system+font

Honeycomb Boot Animation

This is Honeycomb Official Boot Animation
Instructions (rooted users):
1. Download the bootanimation.zip file to your SD card
2. Open Root Explorer and copy the file to /data/local
3. Rename file to bootanimation.zip (if the name is NOT already bootanimation.zip)
4. Reboot your device and enjoy your new boot animation
I attach 2 files. First one is original Xoom's boot animation and second one is edited resolution in to g tab
Note - Screen may be blank if bootanimation.zip doesn't work but the device SHOULD still boot up properly

Some instructions are different depending on the device you want to install it on but these instructions seem to work well for me on most of the phones and stuff I've used. There are other instructions and other ways of doing this so if you don't have Root Explorer installed check around.

It's a standard bootanimation - it should work on any Android device.
However, it's set to use a high screen resolution - you might want to open the zip and update the settings to be used for a 1024x600 screen.

p 0 0 part0

...then dropped the file bootanimation.zip into /logodata using rootexplorer (renamed the original file first) and changed the permissions to match the original file.
On boot, it shows the first of the honeycomb images, but then stays on that - no animation. Am I missing something in the desc.txt file?
Thanks...

That's strange. The only thing I changed was 1408 to 1024, and 880 to 600. You saw my video. Not sure what that's about.
Also, I added the bootanimation.zip to the /logodata, /system/media, and /data/local. Maybe that has something to do with it? I only did that because adding it to /logodata alone didn't do anything.

I have had to put any new boot animation into both /media and /logodata to get them to work. Any chance someone can link a resolution edited bootanimation.zip? I wont be anywhere near my PC to edit the file for a few days.
Oh and thanks for the video jpmi23, very cool.

Thanks for the suggestion but no dice - I copied the bootanimation.zip file to the other two directories & still no animation. Not sure what's up with that. I'm running TNTLite FWIW, don't see how that would affect it. Oh well... I'll futz with it some more in my spare time...

No problem.

Wow - got it working, thanks... I copied the file down from your dropbox link - the desc.txt file looked the same.
I copied it into /logodata, still just one frame, no animation. I copied it into /system/media, and /data/local and overwrote the file I had originally copied there...
- and bingo! animation!
Not sure why it wasn't doing it from the get-go, but I'll take it!
Thanks again!

Good deal. Glad it worked for ya.
(I'll leave the file up for a few hours in case anyone else needs it.)

Is it just me, or does this animation look kinda stale?

Got it to work. Looks great. Thanks

I rebooted while docked to my 42". Itsanice.

[TUTORIAL]How to make your own boot animations (with sound if you want)

NOTE: This method is tested and it works on CM7 ROMs and AOSP ROMs. I don't guarantee that it will work for stock ROMs (The ROM that came with your device)!
Xperia X8 users with cm6 0.25-follow this guide: http://se-lifestyle.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=5947
Introducion
Hi guys!
Today, I'm going to teach you how to make your own boot animations. Please read this thread carefully to the end, in order to succeed in making your boot animation.
Requirements:
-A photo-editing program (GIMP and Photoshop are the best), which can save pictures in .png format
-A text editor (everyone has that)
-An archive-managing program (Power Archiver, WinZip), that is capable of making .zip archives
Tutorial:
1. Create part0 and part1 folders (in this folders, the frames of the boot animation are stored. Usually, there are only 2 parts in a boot animation, but you can add as many as you want. The frames in the part0 folder are usually repeated once, and the frames in part1 folder are usually looped several times, or infinite.)
2. Draw every frame of your boot animation manually (save every frame as you do it. Save the first one as 10001.png, the second one as 10002.png, and so on. Save them in the part0 and part1 folders - the frames in part0 folder will be showed only once, and the frames in part1 folder will be looped. But, you can change that if you want. Changing the looping property will be discussed in the following steps. WARNING: ALWAYS SAVE THE FRAMES IN .PNG OR .JPG FORMAT!)
3. Make a desc.txt file in the directory where the part0 and part1 folders are and edit it as following:
320 480 30
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(The numbers 320 and 480 is the resolution of your boot animation. Change them as you want. The number 30 means the speed of the animation. Speed set to 30 is good for me. Then, the "p 1 0 part0" property means that the frames in part0 folder will be repeated once - you point that with the first number in the "p 1 0 part0" property, which in this case is 1. The second number is the delay between loops, and it's expressed in milliseconds (1000ms = 1s). I've set it to 0 because I don't want to be any delay between my loops (p 1 0 part0). And last, but not least, you set the folder with the folder name - in this case is part0. Then, you type the property for the part1 folder - that's "p 0 0 part1". The first "0" means that the folder will be looping infinite times, the second "0" means there's no delay between loops, and then we set the folder to part1. Note: if you have more folders, you'll have to write properties for them too! WARNING: DON'T FORGET TO LEAVE AN EMPTY LINE AT THE END OF THE DESC.TXT FILE!)
4. Compress the folders and the desc.txt file in a zip file (WARNING: MAKE SURE YOUR COMPRESSION METHOD IS STORE! OTHERWISE, THE BOOT ANIMATION WON'T WORK!)
5. Open your new boot animation and check the folders, if there are Thumbs.db files. If there are Thumbs.db files in your boot animation, delete them from the archive.
6. Install your boot animation on your device with one of the following methods:
Root Explorer method:
1. Rename your boot animation to bootanimation
2. Put it on your SD card
3. Open Root Explorer and copy bootanimation.zip to /system/media. This will replace the existing boot animation
4. Reboot your phone
ADB method:
1. Make sure you have downloaded android sdk
2. Put android sdk in C:\
3. Set the directory of command prompt to C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools. Click here for a video tutorial.
4. Rename your boot animation to bootanimation and put it in C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
5. Open cmd
6. Type in order:
-adb remount
-adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
-adb reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
7. Enjoy your new boot animation!
Note: It's far easier to create and install boot animations with my program Boot Animation Factory. Oh, and you can preview them on your computer too!
How to add sound (all courtesy of colpophage)(UPDATED!!):
1. Download this shell script:
http://db.tt/HffJqg8P
2. Place bootsnd.sh in /sdcard
3. Run terminal emulator, and execute the following:
su
cd /sdcard
sh bootsnd.sh
4. Use a rooted file manager and navigate to /system/bin, and verify that there is now a file called bootsound there, and it has 777 (rwxrwxrwx) permissions. Modify the permissions to 777 if needed.
5. Place your desired sound file, renaming it android_audio.mp3, in /system/media.
5.1 For the original quietly brilliant sound, download: http://db.tt/Oy20ZqT (remember to rename it).
5.2 I now put custom boot animations into /system/media as well, and this is my favorite so far: http://db.tt/LMkqs3f (rename to just bootanimation.zip).
6. Reboot and enjoy.

Video tutorial:
Common mistakes that people make:
-Wrong compression method: you MUST set the compression method to Store!
-Missing empty line at the end of the desc.txt file: an empty line is needed! Otherwise, the boot animation won't work!
-Frames drawn in wrong color mode: you MUST draw your frames in RGB 8bit or RGB 16bit COLOR MODE!

In SGS I on Darky 10.1 you don't have bootanimation.zip file in system/media, but we have bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg. Your tutorial will work with it?

Excellent writeup! :]

I don't know. It's intended for CyanogenMod ROMs. It's proven to work on CM7 ROMs and on AOSP ROMs. Is your ROM based on the stock SGS ROM, or is it built from source?

Very cool. There's a xda member created boot animation utility on the market that will make it easier to flash zips once created. I assume it would work.

I think this tutorial won't work, because Darky 10.1 ROM is based on the stock SGS Gingerbread ROM.

Thanks! Gotta try it tonight
Not gonna sleep until I success doing it

my bootanimation.zip is located in /data/local
i have optimus one with LOL rom and MIUI theme.
so i guess i need to put new bootanimation.zip there.

after pushing your bootanimation you can try that to see if it's ok :
adb shell bootanimation

Can someone tell me what's wrong with this bootanimation?
I'm talking about the pop tart cat one but it seems that none work.
It shows as a completely black animation yet the pictures show up fine and everything seems to be in order.

could make animation with sound?

Help me plox

thanks for explaining everything; very nice.
for some time i have been unsuccessful. i feel it is how i am making my pngs. (as i actually flash my zip via cwm and it works for well-established boot animations, but not mine.)
all i get with my creation is a black screen. is there a trick? need to save it a certain way (beyond keeping it a png)? thanks! i use ps and paintnet...
additionally, just an fyi - the bootanimation that comes standard (with the white android guy) are jpgs...

Pretty cool, thank you!

When you zipped your boot animation, did you use compression method "Store"? That may be the problem.

I think yes. I will do a little research and see what can I do with that.

[Q] Change galaxy tab 8.9 boot animation?

Anyone know how to change the animation to support bootanimation.zip ?
(Samsung galaxy tab 8.9 _motley kernel. KJ5 Honeycomb 3.2)
No luck on my end yet.
But here's what ive tried:
I connected my tab via ADB
Renamed bootsamsung.qmg to bootsamsung.qmg.bak
Renamed bootsamsungloop.qmg to bootsamsunglook.qmg.bak
Copy custom bootanimation.zip to /system/media/bootanimation.zip
copy custom bootanimation.zip to /data/media/bootanimation.zip
Type: bootanimation
It plays on my screen.
CTRL+C to quit.
I issue a reboot command and my 8.9 tab and I see Samsung logo, hear Samsung sound, but I do not see my custom start up. So samsung boot animation is down. But the custom animation is not up.
Can someone point me out to what I may be missing? I see some 8.9 roms support bootanimation.zip Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321142&highlight=bootanimation+zip
....but I wanted to try it my self without flashing a new rom.
Any insight welcome.

I've answered this question here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20977703&postcount=14
The correct way would of course be to change init.rc in the initrd but that's a bit complicated so a quick hack would be just to overwrite /system/bin/samsungani with /system/bin/bootanimation

Thanks for the reply on the other thread, but I thought it would be better to bring this question outside of the rom discussion thread. Don't want to contaminate their discussion of the rom with something somewhat less important.
Anyhow, I tried the above in this specific order:
1. Using root explorer app, rename the 'samsungani' file to located in /system/bin
Done: samsungani.bak
2. Rename the file 'bootanimation' (also located in /system/bin) to 'samsungani'
Done.
3. Now put the bootanimation.zip of your choice in /system/media folder
Done.
However, after i reboot, now i'm stuck at the boot animation staying on screen even after the system has booted up. The animation goes on... If i tap my screen, I can launch apps and such, i just cant see behind the animation. If i rotate my tab, My main screen becomes visible at the bottom but portion of my screen is still occupied by the boot animation. Wierd! lol.
Looks like i have to adb and rename / fix stuff back.
Ever have this happen to you?
fun fun.

(For 7300/7310 reference, if you have a different device then please ignore)
Actually, to change or remove the bootanimation, you don't have to touch anything at /system/bin (you might break something and might have to ODIN later on). The only files that matter are:
1_Power_on.ogg (the bootanimation sound) located at /system/etc
bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg both located at /system/media
Those are the 3 files you would have to delete or replace. No zip files in there. You actually have to unzip that file in your computer, not put it in the device. Check the mentioned contents, replace in the device and reboot.

bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg have already been renamed to
bootsamsung.qmg.bak and bootsamsungloop.qmg.bak
After doing that, even with bootanimation.zip in place, it was just giving me a black screen until the launcher came up.

Seems the bootanim service needs to be stopped when boot is complete. This is not needed in Gingerbread asfaik.
In the Overcome ROM this has been added to the init.rc to take care of stopping the bootanimation:
Code:
on property:dev.sfbootcomplete=1
stop bootanim
Adding this means you have to unpack boot.img and the initrd, do the changes and then assemble it all again. This is a bit more complicated and nothing I recommend without doing the proper research on the subject first.

Hmm, actually you do have a very valid question. The dev didn't mention a How-to related to the Bootanimation.zip support. Have you checked at the Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps forum for a clue?

progress...
I found these instructions and it got the boot animation loading and going away, but the sound that gets played with animation stopped working. (fixable since i backup everything)

ROOT EXPLORER METHOD, thanks Berner:
Code:
Basically the steps in Root Explorer:
1. Copy bootanimation.zip to /sdcard (USB mount, dropbox, whatever).
2. Select /system/bin/playsound
(note - you'll need to set /system/bin as R/W here)
3. Rename to playsoundBACKUP
4. Select /system/bin/bootanimation
5. Copy/paste - new file will be named bootanimation - Copy
6. Rename bootanimation - Copy to playsound
7. Select bootanimation.zip whereever its located on .sdcard
