[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.

[BOOT] Android Swirl Boot *updated 12/30/10*

Update: added straight logo animation as requested by tyl3rdurden
Just thought I'd toss this out there. One of the animations I made while learning some new programs and am currently using myself. The panning lights will continue until your phone boots. It should work on any of the DK28 based ROMs that use Mammon's kernel or a variation thereof for custom animations.
There is a funky sound that comes along with it that I mangled from the wonderful site www.freesound.org under the CC Sampling Plus 1.0 license
The .zip is flashable through CWM and as usual I'm not responsible if this jacks up your phone in any way.

Enjoy and have a happy new year, everyone!

Very very nice. I'm really diggin it!!! Thanks for sharing!
Edit: for those whom are curious, this will work fine with ext4

I think its amazing and not to be nit picky but could you possibly make a version with the android logo straight/forward and not tilted to the back? Thanks!

Sure can. Shouldn't be too hard to change, I'll get that up later this afternoon.

I like it, nice job!

Awesome job, thanks for sharing!

Perfect Thanks for the hard work!

I think I will add this to my midNIGHT ROM if you don't mind and then link back here to give you full credit.....

I had the same problem, and here's how I resolved it

You should back up and delete the stock sprint animations out of your system folder. The new boot animation is called bootanimation.zip. The stock is .qmi or something like that.

Of course, the "stock sprint animations" were for my case, I believe you need to delete the one you no longer need. Backup and give it a try!

Anyway to get this for EB13?

LOOKS
Looks good...

Get one of the CWM3 boot amimations flashable zip from the supernova thread. Download these animations. Replace the bootanimation.zip in the CWM3 with the one in these files.

You just flash this, correct?

had this when i was on midnight rom. awesome boot animation!

Any way to get this as a shut down animation?

Customizing Cognition 4.1 Failure

I flashed the Congnition 4.1 and everything is working excellent (Thanks DesignGear :-D), but when I tried to flash a custom boot animation from MobileTech.com and a Theme from XDA (can't remember whom it was from), my phone started vibrating only.
Has anyone here seen this same issue and if they were able to corrected, could you give me some pointers?
Thanks,
Brasus

themes have to be built specifically for the framework that you are running. you cannot just go around flashing random themes.
as far as boot animation, most of the time, i dont think those are CWM flashable, you just drop bootanimation.zip into /system/media/ and thats it

You can't flash any theme you want. the theme has to use the framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk files from UCKB1 rom in order to work with Cognition. So, you have to look around and see if a theme says it's compatiable with UCKB1. It's only been a few days, I'm sure you'll see some more ported on the Themes and Applications section soon.

Thanks for the quick reply.

and dont try using darkness 2.5 on 4.1 either. it worked on 4.0 but it will not work on cog 4.1.

Thanks Night for the link, awsome animation.

[BOOTANIMATION] SyndicateROM 1.1.0 Alternate Boot Screen

Hey guys, I got my Epic on Wednesday and I've been modding nonstop. I was rooted, flashed to SyndicateROM 1.1.0 via CWM, and overclocked to 1.2GHz the first day
One thing I didn't like about the ROM (about the only thing - it's an INCREDIBLE improvement over stock, huge thanks to the developers!) was the boot animation - it didn't match the streamlined look of the ROM, and I wished the boot animation would match the shutdown animation. So I sat down with a couple brews last night and went to work.
I figured this would be a way to "give back" to the community for all of the help and improvements I've received in just a couple of days, even though I've just been lurking. I hope at least a couple of people benefit from my work!
The animation shows the Galaxy "S" come flying in (inverse of the shutdown animation) and "SyndicateROM" and "v. 1.1.0 EXT4" fade in afterwards. Then, the "S" pulses blue until the ROM is loaded.
The preview is attached (I couldn't link an outside link since this is my first post lol...). The .gif animates faster than it actually does on the phone.
Be sure to rename the file to bootanimation.zip, copy to \system\media\, etc etc you all know the drill. Enjoy!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT: I had edited the previous version's desc.txt before uploading, and Windows automatically compressed the file when I re-saved it to the archive. This is why it wasn't working. The fixed version is up!
If you're having trouble getting it to work, qbking77 has an instructional video: youtube.com/watch?v=ObdysHi1OIc

It looks good man! Congrats on the Epic

Nice..thanks

Blank screen for me at boot up. Still boots but displays nothing after the Samsung screen.

make sure you Delete the original bootanimation before you copy it into the system/media. If you overwrite the file it can cause issue's.
And thanks, your first post and it's already giving to the community =)

NIce..thanks for the boot animation......
and Ultra where did u get that gif that is sooooo funny

I'm still getting a black screen with no boot animation even after I deleted the original and pasted the new one.
I renamed the zip bootanimation.zip (or is it supposed to be bootanimation.zip.zip?)
Then I moved it into system/media/ using root explorer.
Am I doing something wrong?
EDIT: It's not even that solid black screen. I see "android" in black glossy font.
EDIR: Now I don't even see the "android". HELP!

Deleted old boot animation and copied the new one in. Now I am also getting a blank screen.

I found a different boot animation. That one worked. No worries.

Everyone has been PMed - the issue has been fixed. Thanks for trying my boot animation, everyone!

It looks nice, I like how its similar to the clean look of the epic experience bootscreen.
My only request is that you please remove the 'version' of syndicate rom and leave it clean so that we can use it regardless of the future upgrade. They just came out with 1.1.1 so it just makes sense to make this more universal so we can even use it with the gingerbread bootup.

I really like this animation -- good job! I do agree with sceptor, though. It would be nice if ACS would incorporate this as I really like the cleaner look at startup. Their default animation just seems a bit "much" to me.

I will use it when the version is updated. Love it too.
Couldn't wait, but please update version. Lol.

Working good now, thanks for the fix.

Nice work man. This Ani is much better. Thanks for the work.

Thanks a lot for this. Makes me want to reboot my phone more now lol
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App

Could you add a 1.0.2 version? It's the only SFR version that works on my phone!
J/k. I would never ask for that. But if you remove the version I would be interested. I'm running a BIOS boot animation right now. I took warlords and converted it to edify.
Sent from a secret underground bunker

yeah get rid of the v. and EXT4 im running the newest update v.1.1.1

Agreed...good work. I prefer this over the "guns and ammo" stock version.

[Bootanimation] Sydicate Shutdown in reverse

I wanted to try something small as a just got in to modding a few days ago but unfortunately I still needed some help. Thanks to qbking77 & jkrough0728 for all your assistance in making this noobs day!
Just to give a little back here it is for any of you that would like it. Before you ask no it doesn't include the sound. Install it with the copy/paste method (not flashable)
Edit - Make sure you push it using root explorer, I tried others like file explorer and such and it didn't take.
Syndicatebootup.zip is the flashable version for those that would like that better. Thanks qbking77!

Awesome!!! Trying now
Good work!

Well done buddy!

Is this different than the one I already have?

Cool man, thanks for this. I was going to do it but looks like you beat me to the punch lol. Keep it up.
Posted by some phone named the Epic.

Isn't the syndicate shutdown animation the original samsung shutdown? I'm confused here...
Sent from my Epix 4G using XDA

Its close to it, but the next thing to add is a blue pulse either under all graphcs and text or just the "s". Just learning how to use after effects to animate and render a .png sequence for me and modifying the desc to make it loop till the phone boots.

The syndicate animation says syndicaterom.. that's the difference

I actually edited my srf 1.2 to include this when flashing. So technically this is my stock boot ani. Still working on a blue pulsing background for it in adobe after effects. I will modify the OP when done.

I'm digging it, nice clean boot up and matches the shutdown animation well on srf1.2

I'm not sure why you guys did this, when I've posted the original SyndicateROM animation that matches the shutdown several times... I'm responsible for the S + text, and the loop is thanks to Pseudoremora.
The loop is nice, if you ask me. I'm using this animation right now.
