To install:
Just rename the downloaded file and rename to bootanimation.zip and copy it to /data/local/ on the XOOM – no root required with this method.

Awesome! I've been waiting for this since I have this animation on my Desire Z.
Seems slightly laggy on the last few seconds, don't know if thats because it's loading or the animation.
I can see a split second of a white bar sometimes too at the bottom. Don't know how to replicate it though.
Perfect!! Thanks
Nice work, do you mind if I add your version to the big thread? We are still missing a Xoom version there
greetz
Yeah that's alright
I've been running this boot anim since you released it and I GREATLY appreciate the updates. It's the little things, you know..

Thanks, I'm glad you like it. However the original boot animation is not my own. I simply updated it.
Hi I can't move it do the data/local folder... U say that we don't need to be rooted but how can I move it? I'm not rooted
Thanks
Are you getting an error message or does it just sit there? If it just sits there, try using 'Copy' Instead of using 'Move'
I tried with Honeycomb file manager HD and Astro both using move or copy but I can't paste it in data/local they dont give me the option
So... how can I install it? Do I have to root?

Thanks, that's great. Now I feel like I need to power my Xoom off more often
Thanks for this boot animation! No doubt all my friends are going to download this when I show them, haha

Sorry for the late response. I guess in order to install the boot animation you need to use adb.
I've never been in your position as i have root. This is what I've found.
I am not responsible if you brick your device.
How to Install Using ADB
1. Download the boot animation file
2. Rename to bootanimation.zip
3. Copy to your "Tools" folder that contains adb commands
4. Open Command Prompt and enter the command below
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
Then to test:
Code:
adb shell bootanimation
I’ve confirmed that you do NOT need to be rooted to change your boot animation, although you will only be able to do so using ADB. To install a non-developers version of ADB, follow the instructions here: Setting up ADB on Windows 7 64 bit (and other Windows platforms)
To return to the stock boot animation, just remove or rename the .zip in /data/local and the system will default back to the stock one in /system/media provided you have not changed it in there.
If you feel the need to save the current bootanimation.zip file in that folder, then before copying over it, use this command to pull it into your SDK /tools folder, rename it, then copy the new one into the tools folder and push it onto the Xoom using the following command:
Code:
adb pull /system/media/bootanimation.zip bootanimation.zip
******************************** If you place one of the boot animations on your Xoom, then reboot and your device gets stuck in a boot loop, your file may be corrupted or something isn't quite right. Find a working boot animation in these forums and use the following commands to push them onto your Xoom via ADB. (It will save you having to re-flash your Xoom like I did the first time it happened to me.)
Code:
adb devices adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local

I love this retro boot screen. Can you update it for 3.2?
needs 3.2 update !
blinking char
I love this bootanimation... but if you're updating it to 3.2... can I also make a request? how about a small square like character (like █ ) blinking in the bottom of the screen like old school loading from DOS? it would add just another image and keeping looping the current last one and this one with the square character, showing that XOOM is still alive when the boot is slow (like when updating and/or cleaning cache/dalvik cache...)
tks!
needs 4.0.4 update

Is there a way to view the raw boot process in text mode instead of the boot animation?
Hoping there is a setting in a config file somewhere....
Edit: ([Solved/Workaround])
One easy solution is to install the paid app mentioned here. It shows you the logcat log as your phone boots.
A free kernel mod to accomplish this is still elusive.
For linux/grub this is accomplished by removing the 'quiet' and 'splash' options in /boot/grub/menu.lst
Also found a possible setting in /init.rc
export ANDROID_BOOTLOGO 1

However I cannot chmod this file to edit it even as root. / is mounted read-only
su
chmod u+w init.rc
chmod: init.rc: Read-only file system
Click to expand...

Do I need to unpack + edit the file + repack boot.img and then flash(boot) it to achieve this?

you need to mount /system as rw before you can chmod anything. SU file manager works well for this, and you can do it all on the phone, even the edits. Just don't forget to make a nandroid before you do any tweaks.
I know there is a way to disable the boot animation in the boot.img-kernel, i've seen it done before.
So you want a verbose boot mode?

Yes.
SU file manager is not free.

SU file manager can only mount /data and /system as RW, afaik / is a ramdisk image that is only modifiable if the change is made in a boot.img and flashed.
heh Just depends on where you need to make the changes Its what I used to do the build.prop mods to get navi working on the G1 back before they did the official update. Either way I do hope we can figure out how to disable the boot animation. Like I said I know its been done, and where the guy said he did the mod to do it. But thats only a start. Also I know the emulator has a command so that you can boot it without the animation but thats the emu, not the actual device.
Heres where I am now:
The first X comes from initlogo.rle in the root directory of the bootimage.
The next image is the boot logo. This is a set of two images in framework-res.apk/assets/images.

If a bootanimation.zip is found in /data/local or system/media, it is shown next. This is the nexus boot animation.
I tried renaming bootanimation.zip...the boot logo images were shown instead.
I removed the boot logo images from framework-res.apk...got a blank black screen until the lock screen appeared.
Also tried editing pushing a modified init.rc with these commands, didnt help the original init.rc was restored on reboot.
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw rootfs /
adb pull init.rc .
#edit the file.
adb push init.rc /
adb shell sync
adb reboot
Found some instructions on how to edit the boot image:
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images
Thinking of setting up ubuntu in a virtualbox to try this. (Goal is to turn set ANDROID_BOOTLOGO 0 in init.rc). Dont know if this will let us see the verbose boot log or not...
Update:
Tried this. the 2.5MB boot.img splits up into two pieces (ramdisk and kernel), totaling 2MB (?), flashing an updated 2MB boot.img gets the phone stuck on the initial x. ... Something is missing.
heh this is what I want (not the phone)

Re: Boot with no boot screen? (console)
I noticed there is a /system/bin/bootanimation. I ran it from terminal and the animation played. I couldn't exit it and had to take the battery out to reboot. It took over my screen and disabled all the buttons.
If you removed the images and still had a black screen, I wonder if this program was running but was black because the images were gone. Maybe renaming it would keep it from running and do what you want?
I tried to "cat" it but it's a binary. There was some garbled text toward the end which said "boot animation disabled" and gave some file locations etc. May be some clues there.

Tried this.
adb -d shell mv /system/bin/bootanimation /system/bin/bootanimation1
It booted ok and I got a black screen in place of the boot animation, went straight to the lock screen.
Didnt get the console text though
sorry, cant contribute. but id love to have this as well.
Well where are all the Kernel hackers when you need em
Told by someone pretty intelligent that the Kernel will basically need to be compiled to enable the console framebuffer option and maybe remove references to the boot animations etc. I'd love something like this though, wish I knew more about implementing it.
I can contribute a little bit.
Go over to the Dev section, see the "update.zip creation" thread. There are instructions for creating a boot image:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=667923
In these instructions, you'll notice an interesting switch for kernel to execute with:
--cmdline 'no_console_suspend=1 console=null'
I believe that might lead you to where you're trying to get

But I posted the default command, and marked it in red to say - if you're making a boot image with default command line, you're actually redirecting the console to null, so what do you expect to see?!
First, try eliminating redirection, the default might work. Remove the "console=null" from the line and rebuild the boot image.
In case it still won't work - try to change it to "console=tty", "console=ttyS0" or something like that.
DISCLAIMER:
1) You are doing this at your own risk.
2) Educate yourself first and try this ONLY if you feel comfortable with modifying with your phone.
3) If you break your phone it is not my fault nor is it my responsibility to fix your phone.
Things could go wrong but they shouldn't if you follow the directions and have some general knowledge of Android.

Things needed:
ADB/Fastboot knowledge - HERE and HERE
RGB565Converter v0.3c - Thanks to DeToX-cz!
UPDATE: You must have the engineering bootloader flashed for access to splash1. Follow the steps here to flash the S=OFF bootloader. -Thanks to jcase
Instructions:
Find an or create an image (.png, .bmp, .jpg, or .gif -- 320x480 is preferrable)
Open RGB565 Converter
Ensure that "To RGB565 (binary)" tab is selected
Click "Open Image", select your image
Click "Convert to RGB565" (RGB565 Converter will make your image 320x480 if it is not already)
CLOSE RGB565 CONVERTER
Reboot phone into Fastboot using this command: adb reboot bootloader
OR Button combo: SEND/CALL + END/POWER
Flash image using this command: fastboot flash splash1 <your_image_name>.rgb565
Reboot phone using this command: fastboot reboot
OR fastboot oem powerdown if not then remove your battery
View the results of your hard work.
Enjoy!
As of right now there is no way to read the splash1 partition to back it up short of some kind of kernel mod to partition splash1 from NAND as a new MTD. At least that's how I understand it, please correct me if I'm wrong.
You must flash the S-OFF BOOTLOADER for this to work.
You can use the RGB565Converter tool to flash your image successfully without needing to type commands.
Below is another method used to keep your phone from rebooting unexpectedly during the process:

I tried using the "Flash Splash1" button that someone had posted earlier and I almost **** myself. I think my phone tried to load the file I originally used to root it. I was getting really nervous so I pulled the battery and, to my relief, it powered on and it booted normally. I'm sure that method works but I'm scared of it now.
I tried the original instructions and it rebooted my phone before I was ready so I did this in the command prompt (this was mentioned on the first page of posts):
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
adb shell
su
reboot bootloader
fastboot flash splash1 <copy and paste file name here>
fastboot reboot
Of course this will only work if you've downloaded the program, converted your picture and placed it in the tools directory of SDK.
Worked great for me. I couldn't be happier!

How do you get into fastboot? I held the trackball down and power. Is that what you meant by hold "send press" and also does the image need to be on the root of the sdcard(Im guessing so...)?

thanks i will try it out. Im using ivan's 0.7
Ok so i figured out i needed to be in "fastboot usb" mode, but i searched and found that i had to type this command into the CommandPrompt
Code:
adb shell
su
reboot bootloader
then type in the command that was mentioned before, but make sure that the image is in the \tools dir in your android sdk install.

^^^ This worked...But i have question after this how do you reboot?
I just did a battery pull But I'm sure there must be a command to reboot anyone know what it is?
and I used this Picture of an android with the letters ERIS in the center is anyone else want that instead of the droid one or something.
there should be an option to go to HBOOT menu and then into recovery and reboot from there.
I used this one:
Great tutorial. Thanks!

I did a battery pull myself too lazy to go into recovery from hboot. My phone did not explode after doing a battery pull so it "should" be safe however do so with caution.
moved thread by request of OP.
Best regards,

Ive learned that battery pull is the easyiest way,
As a fan of FFXIII, I could not pass up the opportunity to do this.
[Taking Requests also ]
Maybe we should come up with a thread so people can post all boot images and animations in one place, no?
Just remember to convert it like mentioned in the first post

Was just thinking about changing and found this. Thanks.
Awesome!!!

[SEP.21.2011][SPLASH]New HTC "Stock" Splash Screens for HD2 Gingerbread Sense ROMS
Been a while since I published anything here and figured today would be a good day to do just that!
Here you will find my custom made splash screens & boot animation for Gingerbread Sense builds. It should work on ALL Gingerbread Sense ROM's currently available and is compatible with all current Gingerbread Sense compatible kernels.
Without further adieu, I present you the newest HTC "Stock" splash screen
"HTC- Together with Google"

Installation instructions
***First and foremost, extract the zip file to a folder on your desktop. It is NOT a stand-alone CWM zip file!***
To install the first splash screen(displayed before MAGLDR):
1. Power off your HD2.
2. Holding the volume down key, press the power button and turn on the device. Continue to hold the volume down key until you see a rainbow screen. This is the bootloader screen.
3. Plug your HD2 into your PC and you should see it switch to "USB". Your PC may need to install drivers. If it does, wait for it to finish and then you should see "USB" on your device.
4. Once you are connected to your PC and your phone displays "USB", open the folder labeled "First (Before MAGLDR)" and run "CustomRUU.exe". Follow the on-screen prompts and instructions and you will soon see it flashing your device. Don't worry, this will not erase anything on your device. It will only change the first splash screen you see before MAGLDR and nothing else.
5. Once the update is complete, your phone will reboot itself.
6. Enjoy your new first splash screen!
To install the second splash screen(displayed after MAGLDR):
1. Copy "HTC_Splash_Screen.zip" to somewhere on your SD card that you will remember where it is.
2. Reboot your device and hold the power key until you boot into MAGLDR.
3. Select option 8 to boot into CWM Recovery.
4. Using install zip from SD Card option, browse to where you copied the zip file to and select it as the file you want to install.
5. After installation has finished, reboot recovery and your phone will boot back up again into Android.
6. Enjoy your new second splash screen!
To install the Boot Animation(displayed after 2nd Splash Screen):
1. Copy "HTC_Boot_Animation.zip" to somewhere on your SD card that you will remember where it is.
2. Reboot your device and hold the power key until you boot into MAGLDR.
3. Select option 8 to boot into CWM Recovery.
4. Using install zip from SD Card option, browse to where you copied the zip file to and select it as the file you want to install.
5. After installation has finished, reboot recovery and your phone will boot back up again into Android.
6. Enjoy your new Boot Animation!
You will find the download for this great new HTC "Stock" Splash Screen and Boot animation below.
Enjoy and don't forget to hit the Thanks button if you enjoy my work!
I never thought it was possible to flash roms from CWM, will give it a shot thanks !

Splash 1(before MAGLDR) is to be flashed from bootloader using CustomRUU. NOT CWM. If you try to use CWM it will just fail since it's not a CWM zip file.
Splash 2(after MAGLDR) is to be flashed from CWM.
Read the instructions I wrote up in the first post and it will walk you through every step of the process.
Enjoy!
Boot animation removed temporarily. Ironing out some bugs.
EDIT: Boot animation is fixed and back online! Enjoy folks!!

I have used Rom Toolbox Lite to try to install some of their boot animations, no dice.

You need a recovery to flash a zip. Safestrap is the closest you will ever get to having one of those. Otherwise just install it the good old fashioned manual way. Place the bootanimation.zip in /system/media on your phone.

Just replace the current bootanimation.zip in that folder with a new, renamed "bootanimation.zip"? Set permissions (rw-r-r)?

Inside the flashable zip should be another zip called bootanimation.zip. Move it to /system/media overwriting the existing zip. Then change permissions to whatever the existing file has.

For some reason its not working. When I copy and paste the new boot animation to the system Media folder it will paste. Then shortly after it will automatically revert to the stock boot animation.

do just as the above poster i believe meta said. It sounds like you may not be booted into recovery mode when you try to do this. hold bolume down and power button to boot to your BL. Then click volume down to put the cursor on "recovery" then press volume up to select it. After it boots, take that bootanimation.zip that you want to use. delete the old one. paste the new one. change permissions to rw r r. then i always reboot back to recovery mode but i think that is just because i do it. Don't think it is necessary. You can also install adv power menu from the xposed framework and then you will have the ability to reboot your phone into recovery or BL or normal reboot or soft reboot all through the stock power down menu.
forgot to mention that if it is reverting back to the stock one. something is wrong. if you deleted the stock one (clearly move it to your computer so you can reinstall it if necessary) then it should not be able to revert back to stock. It can't recreate the file on its own.
Hello All,
I have a Nexus 6 (Hence the reason I'm posting in this thread) and I am not able to take screenshots after upgrading to Marshmallow 6.0. I would think to post in the thread of the current rom I'm running but I also full wiped and tried a different rom with the same result.
Every time I try and take a screen shot it says "Couldn't capture screenshot. - Can't take screenshot due to limited storage space, or it isn't allowed by the app or your organization." I would post a screenshot of what it's doing but... well... I think you get the point. I have plenty of storage space and I have dived into the various permissions settings on 6.0 but have yet to find out how to fix it.
Has anyone else had this problem across multiple roms and no luck with screenshots?
Currently running:
Chroma Oct-10-2015
Kernel:
3.10.40-Chroma-v1.01
Go to the screenshot directory and try to manually create any file there using your usual file manager/explorer.. If that fails,.it may be that the permissions are screwed which sometimes happens when you copy sdcard data back whilst in recovery.
If that sounds like your problem, there is a zip you can flash. Do NOT use "fix permissions" in recovery.

Go to the screenshot directory and try to manually create any file there using your usual file manager/explorer.. If that fails,.it may be that the permissions are screwed which sometimes happens when you copy sdcard data back whilst in recovery.

There was a miscellaneous file on the /sdcard/pictures folder called screenshots. I couldn't access it and I couldn't create a new folder called screenshots

Try this. Boot into TWRP select Advanced, File Manager go to /sdcard/pictures hit Select, chmod 755, confirm, reboot.

Why are you still in ES? The problem isn't permissions, it's ownership. Use my zip as was suggested by @danarama.
The permissions zip worked,
As to why I was "still in ES?" I like to have an understanding of how everything works. May not be the quickest way to fix a problem, but it allows process of elimination on my side to see what specifically the issue is.
I appreciate the .zip and suggestions everyone! Thanks!

@osm0sis, You are amazeballs!! Ran into this same inconvenience the last couple of days. Swyped a quick search, quite effortlessly arrrived here, where I can thank you for the fruits of your labour. And I do mean ALL of your work across XDA. I appreciate you much! ?
Take screenshot on your PC
Well, I think maybe you can try taking the screenshot of your Nexus 6 on computer. Just don't do it on the phone if it keeps failing. Android Manager can do this and save the picture on your PC.
is it working now?
You can try to rename pictures to pictures2 and reboot your phone, this was a quick solution on the oneplus one, if it works, but it's a dirty solution.
