*Update* 12/20/10: Mammon and a454nova have been kind enough to include my animations in their respective roms so I decided to update those to be generic "Android Froyo" animations so if anyone likes them on some other rom they can use them without confusion
I have the generic supernova up now, the bonsai animation will be up tomorrow as my computer is chugging away slimming down those pngs!
Hey everybody!
Now that we have some good, maturing Froyo ROMs I decided to make a couple of animations for the boot and shutdown processes, despite the fact that the rarity of restarting our phones usually means we're flashing a new ROM or we're having some serious problems!
Here is a boot animation I made for mammon's bonsai4all rom (since this is my daily driver) pretty much just made from some of the awesome wallpapers that he has included in his rom and a sound I mashed together.

Animation for a454nova's SUPERNOVA rom. The preview gif runs kinda poorly in browser (at least in mine)and may take up to 20 seconds to cycle, but the animation on the phone is like 10-12 seconds. Though I would like to, I haven't come up with a sound for this one. This 6 second limit really sucks!1
SuperNova Boot Preview
SuperNova Generic Preview
The shutdown is pretty generic, just wanted something a little more simple. And something with a slightly longer sound since powering down takes so long anyways and that is something of which we can actually extend the length, unlike the Power On sound.

Shutdown Sound Preview
The .zips below are flashable through CWM. Generics are just "Android/Froyo" splash screens and the others are "ROM Name/ROM author" for those specific roms.
Instructions:
-Copy .zip to your SD card
-Flash through CWM like you would anything else
I have tested these on mammon's bonsai4all and that is all I have tried, though I assume (perhaps wrongly) that it should work on any kernel that supports custom animations as long as the boot animation runs from /system/media.
As for the usual disclaimer I am not responsible for anybody jacking up their phones by flashing these files. So flash these at your own risk.
That being said I hope you enjoy them!

Nice work, what program did you use of the text effects?

I *think* Flash is used. I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong.

Would love to know how your doing this as well.
Awesome job on adding to the feel and look for Mammon's bonsai4all rom.

Thanks! The vector text was all made in adobe illustrator and compositing and fx were done in after effects. I am interested in learning flash though to see if it is quicker to produce a similar product but in a more streamlined fashion.
leatherneck, are you creating your animations at 30 fps? And what resolution are you running at? I feel like flash might be able to handle vector animation better than what I am using and wonder how it is handled in flash (i.e. can you render at any resolution you like or is it just Full, half, third or quarter of maximum)?

I have found the most success at 24 fps but setting desc.text to run at 96 fps. Using flash I am able to render at full 480 by 800. Flash can also output to png (1 png for each frame). If you want we could work together on creating a flash version.

Awesome job, loving the new shutdown!!!!
I updated the OP with some generic splash screens for the animations for anybody using ROMs besides those two

Hi, I was wondering if it's possible to put up an animated boot animation instead of the old android one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=527200
There's that tutorial, but that just shows you how to make a custom image with the shining animation.
I'm talking full on animations, like a gif of a video clip or something. And also, is there a way to incorporate sounds with it, like when the droid is done booting up, it makes that droid robot voice?
Thanks.
my signature says im running eclair, but i recently changed it to cyanogenmod 4.2.9.1 due to some errors in the eclair on my phone.

Well, as of now hero does gifs and sound. From what I can understand, animated bootscreens (like gifs) cannot be done in 1.6 down, it seems animated boots were supported in 2.0+
has anyone got some windows animations ported like in these videos...

etc...?
If you look at UOT kitchen, they just implemented the feature recently. It comes with this warning:
WARNING !!!
You have to wipe dalvik-cache when applying this mod. If you don't know how to do it - do not use this mod.
It's on testing mode, so do backup before applying this mod.
For Desire Sense ROMs only

Check it out. Maybe you can get it working..I was going to try it but didnt feel like taking a risk because I just finally got a2sd working lol...Huge frustration plus I had finals this week. Btw all of the other things work on my Aria using FR008. The only thing that's a bit weird is how things show up larger because the screen doesn't get adjusted to the right size (boot animation). I'm guessing if you try this, it may cause the screen size to be out of wack? Idk.

Just made a boot screen, wanted it simple, so just a spinning wheel.
Start and Shutdown Sounds
The start sound is Guybrush saying:
Boot Sound
"One thing I've learned the hard way over the years is that you should never pull a monkey out of your pocket until the most dramatically useful moment!"
The shutdown is Guybrush saying:
Shutdown Sound
"You know, I hear that nine times out of ten: the first place you bury your treasure is the spot it where it will most likely be found!"
If you want the sounds seperate, they are included in the zips below. The 0.1.0 is just the quotes, the 0.2.0 is the quotes with music just like the previews.
All you have to do is throw it on your SD Card, then go to Clockwork Recovery, choose zip to install, and viola! Guybrush greets you everytime you start your phone!
All props go to leatherneck6017 for the sound zip, I just edited his zip and put Monkey Island sounds in it.

[EDITS]
Now with an all inclusive zip, one zip for all your pirate-y needs!
Added a separate Boot screen zip! Obviously looks better than the preview gif, hah.
Added the chapter select music in the background and preview links! Download the MIBSSounds0.2.0!
Or 0.1.0 if you want it without the chapter music and just the quotes.
Added the chapter select music to the boot, and made dropbox previews! Let me know what you think.
I tested them several times and no problems. Also if anyone is interested in helping me compile it together with a boot animation I'll start working on an animation!
Good stuff!

Thanks! Glad you don't mind me using your zips, hah!
Just made a custom boot screen! Wanted it simple, but looking like Monkey Island. All props to Steve Purcell for his awesome Monkey Island Art!
I may work on multiple boot screens if people are interested.
that's nice!
download links don't work anymore though
attached - one i made from the preview gif...
Since it seems like there still isn't a proper ZX Spectrum style boot animation for regular Android phones, here's my simple attempt at one. It's for 480x800 devices (at least for now - I MIGHT add some other resolutions later...or not...) and it's pretty simple, but I kinda like it, so here it is. I've tried to make it as lean as possible.
It's running a bit faster than it runs on real Speccy (yes, the loading border stripes are genuine and correct for this specific image and I've thought about adding the proper loading sounds as well ) and the pixel aspect ratio of the image itself is (obviously) off, therefore the image color attributes are not the famous 8x8 squares. Sorry about that. The font is corrected, though.
Just place it into /system/media (or wherever your kernel reads bootanimation.zip files from) and you should be good to go. Here's video of my Galaxy S booting (the version in the video is a bit faster than the final one, 15fps vs 10fps):

Haha, that makes me want a 8bit NES style one

Nice one ))
Btw, there are two paths, which are searched for bootanimation.zip during kernel boot process:
/system/media/
&
/data/local/media
Placing it to the /system/media as you have suggested is better, because all kernels supporting boot animations reads system partition, while not all custom kernels uses /data/local/media for boot animation.
Good work ;-)
Nice, yesterday i was thinking in build this bootanim...
Long live the Speccy!
I know that there are threads where members provide some flashable boot animations for our OnePlus One phones, but I could not find any threads where someone offered to make custom 3D boot animations. As you all know, 99% of the boot animations that come with custom ROMs are nice enough, but all of them seem to be just 1 dimensional, flat and somewhat static. Resurrection Remix has a fairly good one, but still and all, it's just in a single plane.
What I am offering is to make a custom 3D boot animation for interested people which can be flashed in recovery or installed via a boot animation app. This could include 3D moving and rotating text, custom images for your background, various lighting effects, so on and so on. I think you all get the idea by now.
By limitations of the system, the animation will be no longer than 10 seconds, and the zip file needs to be under about 15MB. So, with that being said, I can't get too crazy with these as far as Hollywood effects goes, but I can make some respectable animations that you can rock on your phone!
Just to let you all get an idea of what I'm talking about, I made a couple of quick and simple animations that will fit our phones just perfect, in full screen, with no "box in the middle" effect. Remember, you can have any text (within reason), colors, etc.. for your custom animation. You can have a favorite photo in the background, wallpaper, mostly just about anything you can think up.
So, as I said, some quick simple examples attached below that you can download and watch to get an idea if this would be something that you are interested in. Unzip and watch in your favorite player. I didn't put a lot of time into them, because at this point, I don't know what the response is going to be.
And for the record, these are offered absolutely free of charge. Not even a cup of coffee donation. My way of giving back to the community.
Who wants a custom 3D animation tailored to their preferences?
