Read this on egadget so I quickly copped em and installed em on my epic. The live wallpapers are pretty cool, especially the Jump To Light Speed.
Here is the original link from the engadget article:
http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/09/droid-2-r2-d2-boot-animation-live-wallpapers-leak-out-at-light/
And here is where you can download the live wallpapers and see them in action:

And here is where you can download hte boot animation, if you are so interested. I don't know if we can change it yet though.

Enjoy.
good find.
good stuff, downloading right now.
update: i agree w/ the comments from that page, the animation is really cheesy. haha, just watch the videos and don't waste ur time downloading them.
yah, not so great.
How dare you
If I were a Star Wars fanboy I would dig these.
That R2-D2 boot ani is cool. Not so sure about the live wallpapers though. They seem like they would only be cool for the first 2 minutes, then I would change them. Thanks for the thread though.
Lol this was like the 6th thread made in the themes section i just bumped it b/c its old
8/
So, I have had an awful lot of free time on my hands after getting laid off last week. Thought I would play around with GIMP a little more and custom make some icons. I made these for Folder Organizer icons, but they are 72 x 72 px and can be used for whatever devices support that size icon (I believe HDPI devices only, please correct me if I am wrong). I attached a little pic with all of them together.
Screenshot 1: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9903887/BatsJLA1.png
Screenshot 2: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9903887/BatsJLA2.png
The first one is them just lain out so you can get an idea of the size. The second one is used in the medium sized icon format of Launch-X Pro widget. I could not upload them to the site without resizing, and I didn't feel like it. It wouldn't look the same anyway. You should be able to right click --> Open in new tab so you don't have to download them. Hope you all enjoy!
These are really great! Thanks I'll be using them
Cool! I'm glad someone else appreciates them like I do. LoL
Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure.
Nice work, but is there any chance to get the wallpaper too?
Sorry, you can insert the only original wallpaper of Batman please?
Is beautiful ^_^
Ty very much! like them alot! +1 on wallpaper
nice. Great job, keep it up.
How do I install these, they are AWSOME!
Very Nice . Any chance u can make a Marvel's Avengers set of icons ? Would love too get a hold of that Batman wallpaper too .
I would donate for a set of spiderman icons....both black and red
These are awesome...sorry to hear about he job, slow for me right now too.
Using the scrolling wallpaper
Using the circle scrolling wallpaper, the Batman image and his icons, I came up with this. Nothing fancy, but still pretty cool (to me at least).
*edit*
Here's a better version of the wallpaper with his shoulders not cropped.
original wallpaper is here
Thanks everyone! Feeling the love Here is the wallpaper: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9903887/default_wallpaper.jpg This one is sized 960 x 854, or perfectly for the Droid 1 and is a bit more on center that the one previous posted. As far as how to install the icons, you can use them easily with Folder Organizer (just open the app, pick a folder, tap on the down arrow on the right side and choose Icon), LauncherPro (long press on dock icons and choose custom icon), or you can use Ninjamorph to substitute them for any app icons of your liking. This is assuming they are already on your SD card and unzipped. As far as making more of them...I would LOVE to! I just need a couple of more days as I am doing a ridiculously detailed theme for my phone that I might release at some date. It's not comic themed as I was looking for something a little more for the masses, but it'll be nice. It's weird because I posted these like a couple of weeks ago on 3 different forums and I think I got maybe 4 responses between them so kind of just figured no one cared. Please start listing a few characters you would like to see and I will try to do the most popular ones. I only ask that it be a figure with a somewhat recognizable symbol so it won't take a year to find something that will work. It took me quite awhile to get the Martian Manhunter icon because of that. Anyway, thanks again for the interest and now I know some more people are interested, I will keep a closer eye on this thread.
Hi - Great job! These Icons with the Scrolling Wallpaper "Dock" and the Batman image combined are the best setup I've had since getting my Captivate.
I have one very minor request, though - Anyway to fill in that hole in the Batman icon and repost it? I don't know if it's just me or my set up, but in the middle of the shine, there is a black hole that looks kind of like a bullet hole. You can see it in my screen capture above.
Again, though, it may just be me...
LoL Wow...I never even noticed. It doesn't show up in the pic I put in the original post until you click on it and enlarge it. I'll look into it a little later on today, so stay tuned. I found a little quicker way to do these so I might be putting more out soon. I already have a couple of Venom ones done...
Actually the same pic that I used for the zip, I had in my dropbox too and I don't notice the hole in this one. Weird. Try it and let me know please. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9903887/Bats.png
Sweet! Looking forward to it!
Looks like it's still showing up, my man. Sorry!
It's cool. I will whip up another one later on tonight after I finish some school work and watch Modern Family heh. Since I'm making another, any preferences on color?
this is the animation I had on my old Sprint Samsung Moment. It's a cool DR Who tardis but it has a stupid sprint logo at the start.
Can someone please either remove that logo sequence and repost it?
Or heck if you're feeling creative make a new one using this one as inspiration. I have a feeling the graphics may be too low rez for the captivate anyhow. I've attached the file.
Oh and thanks
The Fix Is In.
Two options for you:
bootanimation_correctar.zip: This one fills the screen horizontally, and maintains proper aspect ratio. This means there will be black bars at the top and bottom (pretty small, though).
bootanimation_fullscreen.zip: This one fills the screen completely, though it distorts a bit as it has to stretch in the vertical dimension. It's minimal, though.
So, pick your poison As you surmised, the original images were quite small and compressed pretty heavily with JPEG compression. Blowing the scale up and recompressing will take a bit of toll, but it is what it is.
Enjoy!
Awesome thanks

androidIMATIONS | Custom Boot Animations for Android | New Animation & Video 10.29.10
In response to the interest in some of the boot animations I've been posting in a different thread, it was suggested I start a new thread where I can better categorize and display these animations. With that, I welcome you to...
androidIMATIONS | Custom Boot Animations for Android
This thread will be running and regularly (I hope) updated log of my boot animations. Hopefully, this will make it easy for you to find a custom boot animation that suits your personality, and shows your love of your Android device.
STANDARD WARNING BOILERPLATE: Downloading and attempting to install any of these animations assumes that you know what you're doing and you absolve me and all other parties of any liability for turning your expensive handheld computer into an expensive paperweight. No support is provided for installation or issues arising from the installation of these animations. In short, you're on your own.
With that out of the way, a couple of quick notes:
These animations are all created to specifically work on the AT&T/Samsung Captivate, and have only been tested as running on Design Gears' excellent Froyo-based Cognition v2.2 beta 8.1 or greater. Whether they will work on another device or ROM, I cannot say. They all follow the standard "bootanimation.zip" structure, which I believe is universal across Android devices, but I don't know enough (read: anything) about how Android works to say that with any conviction. However, if there is sufficient interest for other devices and resolutions, I'll explore creating multiple versions of each animation.
I will try to maintain a changelog of each individual animation, as warranted. For the most part, these will be "final" once they are posted, but I'm not perfect and occasionally I find a bug or visual quirk that I will remedy and post as an updated version. If you like a particular animation but would like some variant of it--different background color, for example--post a request and I'll attempt to comply.
At present, there are four categories for which I'm planning to create animations; the posts immediately following this one will contain each category's animations.
When in ROM...

The Superiority Complex
The Android's epic pwn of other mobile OSes
POP! Goes the Android
Your favorite green guy in the annals of pop culture history
Mixed Bag
Anything that looks nifty-keen but doesn't fit anywhere else
Hopefully, you'll find something that interests you enough to install it, but if not, let me know your ideas and I'll see what I can do. If you like my animations, and are feeling especially generous of a poor, starving thirsty artist, perhaps you'll be compelled to slide a craft beer or two my way (hinthintnudgenudge). Ultimately, though, if I know you're looking at one of my animations every time you start up your phone, that's pretty cool.
I'll update this overview as necessary. I'm working on a number of new boot animation concepts (more keep popping into my addled mind all the time), and I'm also considering expanding the effort to include start-up sounds, shutdown animations and sounds, and wallpapers. If you're a developer/code ninja, I'd be interested in talking to you about a way to semi-automate or at least ease the installation of these various elements. Shoot me a message if you're feeling saucy...
INSTALLATION
My preferred method of installing these boot animations, after download/copying to the phone's SD card, is to use a terminal emulator and issue the following commands:
Code:
su
cp /sdcard/[filelocation]/[bootanimation-name].zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
reboot
Replace [filelocation] and [bootanimation-name] with the relevant information.
Moderator zelendel offered this alternative installation method (thanks for posting!):
Download Zip
Rename zip so its name is bootanimation.zip
Put zip on SD card
Using Root Explorer, copy zip to /system/media/
Reboot
Watch and lol
Again, I only know definitively that these work on Cognition v2.2 beta 8.1+; for other ROMs, you're on your own.
VIDEOS
Since the only way you can see these things is if you reboot your phone, some folks have expressed interest in downloadable videos for the animations. I'm happy to comply; videos are now available! Note that, due vertical orientation of the videos, these only seem to play back correctly in the built-in Video Player app; other video players, like those included with some file manager, will auto-rotate and you'll be fighting to view the video in the proper orientation.
COURTESY NOTE: If you post a reply in this thread, please delete the GIFs from your quoted reply, or just don't use a quote. I'm not quite sure what's going to happen once we get a few dozen/hundred of these things flashing at once.Without further ado, on to the animations. Thanks for watching.
-cmbrougham
androidIMATIONS | When In ROM...
Right now, all of my current ROM-specific animations are for Cognition; I don't see myself using another ROM anytime soon, as my other experiments have been nigh on disastrous. Cognition lends itself particularly well to animation, since it has a "theme" of sorts. However, if you have a specific ROM that you use and would like a customized animation to use with it, please post a request and some details of what you like, and I'll see what I can do--no promises.
To download, click the title of the animation or the animated GIF.
By the way: I'm retiring the "beta-branded" versions of the Cognition animations. It'll simply be too much to keep up with.

I dislike you. Your "apple is for nom" boot animation makes me reboot my phone far too often.
But seriously, AWESOME WORK!
Hmm.. idea for a new animation.
How bout the apple logo with the stem of the apple as the fuse?
The fuse goes down and explodes the apple.

Heh. Yeah, such is the bane of having a 10-second window in which to display your art
Actually, if you guys are interested, I can probably export MP4s of these, so that you can download them and play them back from your SD card. It would probably help you avoid burning out your power button
I'll try to upload some of those after I get this next animation done...

Live wallpaper?
Is there a way for you to make these livewallpapers? That would be most awesome!

ya, there is an app in the market that should allow you to do that. you just need all the individual .png files, which are in the bootanimation.zip

first of many more...

I uninstalled it. Went back into the thread here on my cappy, found my link, downloaded it again, and it worked for me.
Can we get someone else to download this and install it.

Just keep up the good work man! These are great. Have you given any thought to live wallpapers? I usually don't use live wallpapers but would if some of these were tailored a bit.
on a different note, what about the android taking a bite of the apple and crapping out a blackberry? just spit balling...
Unofficial DROID Prime Boot Animation

Click here to view it:
http://carlz28.com/NexusPrime.html
Someone PLEASE put this on the D3!
I'm working on it now, give me about an hour...i'll test it too.
Longest part is downloading and reinstalling flash, i've already dissected the swf file into images and
sound though.
For some reason when I break it up the animation gets stupid when the Transformer builds, it's like it's
not even include in the movie...but I know it is.
I'll be happy if you get it ported successfully
Thats cause prime is in pieces and put together with a script over the black background I have a idea ill test on my d2 first and post results..
Its finished all working on the Droid 3 here is a sample working video

And the files with instructions.

didn't seem to work for me...
just black screen till it finished booting... so i went back to my Stargate animation
[edit]
hrmmm seems like it's a different method than my other animation to get it to work...?
I just read the install.txt ha, meh bad... I'll give it a shot in a little bit and see if it'll work.
I have the origional android boot screen, I would like to have back. Any way you could make that work?

Should be able to replace the bootanimation.zip in the
/system/media dir.
I renamed the existing bootanimation in case i ever decided to go back and left it in the folder.
send it to me ill see what I can do .. 'I dont like to over write the file in the system media easier to fix is something trips out using the /data/local/...
here ya go.
BTW Seiryu's method worked aswell. No issues using that exact file.
Thanks to both, and cant wait for your method aswell, to help other less brave (or stupid, which is me lol) people from doing this before we have SBF lol

Sorry for the slow response, forgot to come back and check this thread
I can't remember exactly where i found it, it was a few weeks ago now... I attached it to my post though, just rename it to bootanimation.zip and place it in /system/media. There's no audio on this one... but should be pretty easy to add. I'll see if i can't add it later today if I get some free time i've just been lazy
Looks nice! I will test it out later!
Thanks!
Droid prime animation
I am new to this stuff and recently jave rooted my phone and have learned how to put boot animations on. However i am trying to get this one on my phone and it works but its too big and i have tried adjusting the size in the desc.txt but then the animation no longer works. Can someone please help me convert it so it fits my mytouch 3g slide. 320x480
Just wanted to say thanks for this awesome Boot Animation. Absolutely love it.
this is simply beautiful. i like the fact of nothing getting officially overwritten so it accounts for a safe/fast add or delete with no problems. A+
