[B]Custom Boot Animations[/B]

Hey everyone.
Thought id make a thread so everyone can show there fav boot animations.
& maybe even shutdown animation ?
Lets see what ya got

Does the boot animation have to be made specifically for the DHD or can it be from any device?
Where would I find one and how would I install it?

i dont think they hve to be made specifically for the dhd but they hve to be 800 by 480 in size.
im using a custom boot animation that i got from some site (cant remember the site though)
ive attached the boot animation tht im using.... its for apple haters
just google android boot animations u will get many links...thts wat i did
and then just copy ur bootanimation.zip and drop it in /data/local

Hmm, doesn't work for me? I did see someone saying the file might be stored else where?

oh
maybe different roms hve different locations or sumthing
im using leedroids rom
otherwise try putting it in
/system/customize/resource

Yeah, that did the trick. Thanks

I need some help as I don't know what file name or file type or location for the shutdown sound I've created. Does anyone know this? I'm guessing it should go in "/system/customize/resource" as this works for replacing the shutdown animation (which is "downanimation.zip")
Does anyone know this?
I'll be sure to post the boot & shutdown animations plus the sounds in the Themes & Apps section once I'm finished... just need this and I'll be done soon.

HOW TO INSTALL BOOT ANIMATIONS
FOR CUSTOM ROMS
​1) download your desired bootanimation.
2)rename the file to "bootanimation.zip"
3) Using any root explorer copy/push your bootanimation to /system/media/ or /data/local/
IF YOU ARE ON STOCK ROM>>>>
1) make sure you are fully rooted...use z4root to root the phone and its perminent root,
install busy box from market and also install root explorer from market!
2) Using root explorer SET to R/W delet the original bootanimation.zip from by Navigating to /cust/(what ever folder depending on which firmware you are using)/media.

For make new bootanimation, for example, I just have to take frames of a video with the same resolution (480x800)?
We need a precise MB for the zip?

hey guys, i tried changing bootanimation exactly like in the steps on first thread, first i tried to copy bootanimation.zip to syste/media/ and it said u cannot paste here because the file system is read only ,so i went to data/local/ and pasted there ,rebooted, no new bootanimation , i then went back to system/media and changed mount r/o to mount r/w and it pasted rebooted and no new bootanimation
i had been using custom roms but restored nand backup hoping to get my apps back , they came back but my original rom as well
does this method only work on custom roms?
I also checked the site you refer to for more help but didnt really understand how to do that
any help much appreciated thanks

In the stock rom the Ideos checks the cust partition for boot animation. You'll need a custom rom to push the animation to system/media

thanks tila
worked great, thought it was the custom rom, i read on the froyoman forum someone wanted the original bootanimation, i way prefer the custom ones , the android bee rocks, but if u do use original i hope we can still change them ,
love your work , cant wait for froyoman v3 and gingerman

[BOOT ANIMATION] Modern Warfare 3 Teaser -

This may not be the best looking boot animation, as it's just a combination from the teaser trailer on YouTube.
It's looped and will just replay. This is my first boot animation....first of anything in this sorts. Going to do a complete overhaul this week of it, so please refrain from flaming this noob . In Xbox terms...I'm a scrub
Here is the video I made of it as a preview:
Download Link: http://www.mediafire.com/?oudaa6nmcjbaloy (15MB) I know...it's HUGE.
Instructions:
-Backup current bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip.bak
-Download and copy the MW3 boot animation and paste it to system/media and change permissions
-Reboot
Another GREAT boot animation, but for the wildfire can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1006336 It's sick.
**Splash screen was made by Tribalartgod and can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059520

This is great...thanks a bunch. I'm looking forward to seeing your update. Rock ON \m/

Does this require a rooted phone?

hey can you tell me what the settings are you used to make the .zip i know it has to be zero compression but what settings are the images and the .txt file
as i have tried a few ones i made myself but they just dont show up

I used WinZip. I highlighted all my files(pictures tthat are in the two different folders you're using to store photos ,and desc.txt file- right click and choose: add to archive and make sure the setting is set to 'store'.
I used 256 x 256 (PNG FILES) The same dimensions as the animation in Cyanogen Mod. My current project uses a different resolution than my current.
When you play the YouTube video, you will see an annotation that leads you to my newest boot animation, that is the video sshowing the boot animation running at different res.
Download my ananimation and extract the files to you desktop. Take the desc file and the names of the folders, and put them on your desktop. The desc.txt file will have your settings and you can just change them.accordingly to your devices dimensions or FPS you want your animation to run at.
Did this help?

When zipping your material, do you make sure the compression method on the bottom left hand corner is set to STORE?

can this be flashed on a EVO 3D?

Yes. depending on the dimensions of your phones screen, you wont have a problem.
rename your current bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip.Bak..
Flash my boot ani and test it. If not, you'll still have the stock bootani.
Or you simply put tthe bootani in system/data where your initial boot animation was/is.

[Q] Can someone make a Tiamat boot animation?

I would love to have a custom boot animation made from one of the Tiamat wallpapers shown here. If some one could take the these and simply add a spinner I would really appreciate it.
My artistic capabilities are pretty basic and even then I do not understand how to create these bootanimation.zip files. I tried modifying an existing one and it did not work, so something went wrong.

If someone can help me with the creation of the zip file I have come up with some art work that is passable. I have tried creating the zip file, but the Xoom does not like it.

I've converted a few videos to bootamimations and have a few working desc.txt files. Also fixed a few phone animations to work on the xoom. What do you need help with?
Working on a few right now for others but I can see if I can help in any way

Thanks for the offer to help. Basically I think I understand the desc.txt file and the required folder structure but when I push the file over the animation does not work. Now I just took the wallpaper and added a progress indicator as simply as I could, so it is not very artistic. If you could take a look I would really appreciate it.
I am using WinZip and I have it set to no compression.

i'll give it a quick look today and let you know.
edit: it looks like you may need to just put part0 and the desc.txt file in the zip file, not put them in a folder first, then in the zip file. good idea for the loading, you could get some crazy designs with it if you wanted to take it further. i'll try and modify the zip file and update again.
edit 2: works now bro. it runs a little fast, so if you want to reduce the frame rate a bit from 20 to maybe about 15 or so, it could help (just a thought). anyway here is the updated zip.

Thank you very much. The version you posted works fine. Could you tell me what program you are using to create the zip file? I am using WinZip and whenever I create the file or edit it, the resulting file does not work for me. I checked the folder structure and it should be fine. I edited the text file to reduce the frame rate but then when I recreated the zip file it would not work.

no problem. i used 7zip to zip it, just make sure you have the compression set to STORE. ive tried with winzip before and had no luck.

Very nice, much better than anything I could come up with. This should be included with any Tiamat ROMs.
Thank you very much!

Hi guys.
Before rooting/flashing my Xoom, it had a nice Motorola animation with the red Motorola logo and some kind of circle waves going out from it.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to install that animation? I did a CWR backup before flashing, so it might be in there ¿?
Or is it available in the forum?
Thanks
Rodrigo

As far as I know, the default boot animation on the Xoom was the blue Honeycomb animation. I've never seen anything resembling the one you mention, although I wouldn't mind seeing it as a sort of collector.
Not sure how you would get that one little part out of CWM, so short of finding a copy somewhere online, you might be out of luck.

Nice animation. I uploaded it and it worked great. Thanks

Nice animation. Now, with the Tiamat Dragon Head Logo, someone should do a full Dragon theme for the Xoom. With dragon icons and graphics I think it would be great. Just wish I had a little talent as an artist and themer.

Dr. Who boot animation

OK, I've found a couple Dr. Who boot animation files that are supposed to be flashable in CWM but I haven't been able to get any of them to work. Anyone know of a working Dr. Who boot animation that is flashable in CWM? Preferably one with no sound but at this point I'll take anything.
EDIT:
Here are the three I've tried. I've also tried the on in BAC. It worked the first time I tried it but then I flashed my ROM and now it won't work.

If you post the ones you have I will tinker with them and see if I can figure out what's up with it

I don't think there is a Dr Who bootanimation for the epic yet so whatever zip he has is probibly has different size frames. Most likley they will need to be resized. Also the desc.txt file will need to be edited with the appropriate measurements.

If I recollect properly, there is a Tardis one in the Boot Animation Changer in the market... might be one of the premium ones, I uninstalled the app awhile ago so not sure on that...

OK, on ThunderHawk the one from Boot Animation Changer did not work. I flashed the new Legacy yesterday and now Boot Animation Changer works fine. I would still like to make my own though. Anyone know a good tutorial?

It's pretty easy once you have a video I use iwisoft video converter to change the movie to. Pngs, keep special attention to file size, I usually do a 5 fps, then take those images, put them into a new folder called bootanimation, make 2 folders in there part0 and part, take the images and put them into part0, and then take part of the images at the end(the portion you would like related on long boots, and then do a search for boot animation maker, and download it, follow the prompts, and you have a bootanimation

I'm running jelly bean on the kindle fire. It's android 4.1 flashed on to the kf, with kernel 3.0 unofficial. And BAC isn't working cause it's on a rom and I can't flash it using twrp 2.1 so i need to do it with root explorer. Anyways it stores the bootanimation.zip file at system/ mediaa. I can get the picture perfectly. But no sound. And for some reason there's no system/media/sounds file and when I try making it with the sub folder it just ignores it. It would look like this. System/media/sounds/poweron/xxxxxx.mp3. Anyway I want Dr who bootloader with sound that can be flashed. And if I posted in the wrong thread I'm sorry go easy on me I'm only 15
