Alright, I modded the desc.txt so it should work on the Xoom. Just let me know how it goes or if it needs resized. This isn't my boot animation, I simply modded the des.txt for it to be the correct resolution (I haven't even bought my xoom yet. lol)
same as this
Just incase that didn't work. here is the link.

it would be awesome to get an autobot one.
I am running gingerbread on my hd2 off the SD card. Could I possibly use this boot animation on that device? Any problems with resolution or whether it will even work or not?
If it is possible do I just rename the file "bootanimation.zip" and paste it over the original one in system/media/...
Please let me know. This animation is awesome
You should be able too, I think the original desc.txt would work better, just add your resolution in desc.txt and replace the first 2 numbers.

Thanks, but no need. I actually already found the original online and gave it shot. Worked fine. Thanks for the post btw. I like this animation.

Hello Guys,
I did searched the threads for creating bootanimation. i pulled one from froyo roms and did exactly the same way it was made in the rom.
txt part0 part1
made 256 x 256 frames and used uncompressed zip and pushed it but all i got was a black screen. according to the text file pixels are 480 480, i even tried 480 854 but no luck.
any ideas?

After I made my first bootanimation, it did that.
But it turns out I used compression. Second time, didn't do compression,
but I zipped the 'bootanimation' folder rather than the 'contents' folder.
If you just want to start, download a preexisting one (I did the inverted splash) and then make your images, replace the images already there, and go.
I did as u mentioned. I didnt compress it. I used the store option n zipped it. Would u plz tell me what pixel did u use for ur images n the text file?
I don't understand why ppl don't get it. POST QUESTIONS IN Q&A SECTION!! Thank you.

This can actually be a complicated process as you have to use a certain Zip software to make this to work. If you are running Windows, you cannot use the windows provided software as it compresses the files. I used 7zip, which I feel is the easiest to use. This software actually lists "Add to archive." Once you select that, Archive Format should be Zip and Compression Level should be Store. If you are using Winzip, it does not list Add to archive so stick with 7zip for custom boot animations.
is it possible to go back to the stock boot animation or do you have to save a copy before doing so?
Anything is possible with N1. I would recommend moving the original bootanimation to another folder on your phone, but if you overwrite it you can always just download the original online.
I understand it should be uncompressed zip. my guess im not doing something right in making frames. i named them correctly and made pixels 256 x 256. i even mixed it with droid images, so I could at least see those images if my doesnt work, still no luck. I attached my zip file, I appreciate if you guys take a look and tell me what im i have done wrong
Ok I re did the bootanimation for you. Try and see if it works.

Actually this works! Thanks
however, i tried to change your txt value from 256 to 480 and slow down the frame rate and still the animation is small. I wish I could make it bigger. here is one of the bootanimations i extracted from Froyo Rom, it has same values but looks larger in boot. do you know how?
btw I appreciate if you tell me what does 0 and 1 value mean in txt file
Thanks alot
in order to change the size of the animation make sure that the picture is 256(x) x 480 first and then change the value in the desc.txt to 256(x) and 480. the values in the desc.txt have to do with the looping of the boot animation.

hello,
I've just created my first bootanimation.zip
size 320/480
http://rapidshare.com/files/431816926/bootanimation.zip
i followed the steps from this guide:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/android-roms/71556-cyanogenmod-boot-animation.html
and after i created it and signed it,
I tried to move to /data/local.
that didn't work. only a black screen.
then i tried to move it to /system/media. It didn't work, only a black screen.
Maybe there's something wrong with the bootanimation.zip. Can someone check if everythings allright with the bootanimation.zip.
The rom i use is: Elelinux 2.2.1 (Cyanogenmod 6.1 RC1) on an HTC hero G2 GSM

Try this version I attached.
I noticed two things; there was a meta-inf folder in the bootanimation.zip that had compression on it, that means it was signed or copied in and might have messed up the compression (which needs to be store).
Then in your desc.txt file you didn't have a new line after the last line in there, so for every line you add to the desc file you have to hit enter at the end of that line.

Help me with my bootanimation.zip
Hi Community!
I also have the same problem, but not the same errors, because I've extra made a new line at the end of desc.txt (first I had two). I have a ZTE Blade, also known as Orange San Francisco with a resolution of 480x800 and this is my bootanimation.zip
UPDATE:
First I want to thank every one, I also want to give a shout out to
Mrdaviso for making the sound possible on cm7, please give him thanks for his thread on this. I've been waiting to have sound for the animation for sooo long and now it finally works and thanks to him.
I stripped all the text out of the animation except for the android logo and the preview below is exactly what it is, he screams and then stares at you and blinks until your phone boots.
The scream I choose is one I thought was appropriate... the original Godzilla roar! But if you really want, and I honestly would love to see more sound files made, please offer others. You can use mine as a template for syncing with the animation. I love to see others post sounds for this!
Heres the d/l link hope you guys like this.This zip file contains the bootanimation.zip, android_audio.mp3 (godzilla) and the bootsnd.sh (to setup sound playing on phone bootup)
Installation of the new un-branded versions with sound!!! PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:
First how to setup boot animation sound on cm (link to the op):
To install boot animation:
1. just unzip the screaming_android_with_sound.zip file on the root of your sdcard
2. copy the bootanimation.zip file to the system/media folder replacing the old one or renaming the old one and copying this one over if your just testing.
3. Android wins again!
Changing the ResolutionThe resolution for the animation is 480X800 if you'd like a different size:
1. copy the bootanimation.zip file to your computer.
2. open the zip and edit the desc.txt 's second line (480 800 not the 25 read below) to match your phones resolution.
3. save the file and close the zip program
4. you shouldn't need to unzip the bootanimation.zip file to do the above
5. if you do need/want to unzip it when rezipping make sure the compression level your zipping it on is "store" or it won't work.
Sound doesnt seem to match up?... change to animation speed in the desc.txt file:
1. copy the bootanimation.zip file to your computer.
2. open the zip and edit the desc.txt 's second line (only the 25 not the first 2 numbers) to speed it up or slow it down.
3. save the file and close the zip program
4. you shouldn't need to unzip the bootanimation.zip file to do the above
5. if you do need/want to unzip it when rezipping make sure the compression level your zipping it on is "store" or it won't work.
NOTES:
want a different sound on the animation... the sound file has to be called android_audio.mp3 for it to play, this file will play for any new bootanimation you install unless you remove the android_audio.mp3 file and it has to be an mp3.
Programs to help... if you don't have root explorer get "Super Manager" from the market it does r/w and root privileged file exploring (and more) just like root explorer and its free.
I'm only giving this out in zip file format, I'm not doing a flashable as its to hard to keep up with all the different roms and resolutions. I provide instruction on how to change the resolution of the animation to fit your phone.

Yeah I'll try and post the bigger one tomorrow. I should since I actually have an Evo myself.
Looks good except the text which says Android 2.2
Very Nice!! Great work!! Much appreciated!!
Is this version big enough for the Nexus or MT4G?

Really would like the larger version. The smaller one you posted I initially doesn't play at all on my X.
Btw, for those with Droid X's and other newer phones running FroYo, bootanimation.zip goes in /data/local as primary. It only pulls from /system/media if nothing is in /data/local

Any word on this for wvga devices like the EVO or Droid X? I'd really like this unbranded, but the current unbranded version just appears as black on my phone.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I honestly don't have the time to do it... maybe in the next couple of days.
i tried to change the size for 480x800
but it doesn't work..
how can i do for a full screen on my galaxy s?
is wqvga (240x400) is supported?
Any chance of the unbranded screaming droid formatted for the HTC EVO Shift 4G which I believe is 480x800?
I will try and trim this on the top and bottum to remove everything but the droid... I just don't have the time to do much more on this, but I will try and finish this off, just wish I hadn't put that on there.

Bump for sound and unbranding!!!
Extracted LG Optimus 2X logo from SU660 presentation.
http://www.optimus2x.net/index.php?topic=452.0
It's from a presentation. If one can extract the stills from this it should be possible to craft a live wallpaper or even a boot animation
Might be good to link direclty instead of to a site where you have to register to see anything
I extracted to png files and threw together this bootanimation.zip following this guide:
http://forum.sdx-developers.com/themes/(how-to)-creating-a-bootanimation-zip/
If anyone is brave enough he can try it out.
ATTENTION: I DO NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR PROBLEMS THAT MAY OCCUR WHEN YOU INSTALL THIS
I TRIED TO BE AS COMPLIANT AS POSSIBLE WITH THE GUIDE, BUT THAT DOES NOT GUARANTEE IT IS WORKING CORRECTLY
If I just knew how to put this on my phone .
But I would also like to get that animated Tegra2 just for the kick of it.

you need root and replace the original bootanimation.zip in /system/media/

heard that too, but there seems to be some restriction, because this doesn't work always. Yesterday I read animations located on this position are limited to 15 FPS, but I don't know what to make of it.
If you place it at system/media it will definately be used (given it has the right format of course)
But at the risk of the phone "breaking" . But is there no other way then Root Explorer, cause im not really interested in having to pay for it from market.

Of course there's a risk.
you can also push it with adb after elevating your terminal with su. You should, however, rename your original bootanimation.zip to something like bootanimation.bak so you can restore in case it fails.
I have to say this once again, this animation was crafted according to the guides available, but I haven't got my android yet to test if it is working properly. I might upload a 15 FPS version on monday, so one can push it to data/local and see if it works.
I will give your bootanimation a whirl when I get home from work and post the results. And I am looking for an animation version of the Tegra Logo and hoping I will find it.
Cause that will make for a nice animated boot logo rather then the dull LG one.
Not much luck with finding an animated Tegra2 one sadly . I just thought I saw one at some point
I put aMpeX bootanimation.zip in data/local and it works very well for me.
I just edit the fps from 24 to 30 for more smoothness

Thats odd, I never actually set it to 24 fps ^^ it was 30 fps all along, at least according to my desc file
I'm very glad it works though
I'll update the animation on monday, I changed it to not looping the entire animation, but only the "shimmering" part in the end.
How do i get it to my phone via adb?
Becaues all the commands I try either ask for more arguemnts or just reports access denied >_<
Maybe post some more animation
Could anyone help with the commands?
I'm not sure, but try this:
copy the bootanimation.zip in the same folder as your adb application, then try
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/bootanimation.zip

That's the restriction for data/local (if you have an animation of 15 or less) you can put it in data/local and it will override the one in system/media any other need to be put in system/media.
oh and the easiest way to do this is buy root explorer (when your phone is rooted) backup the orginal one in /system/media (rename it) and put it in and your done.

NOT TRUE
I just placed this bootanimation in data/local and it plays just fine and the FPS es at 30
Ok, that's good. Altho that's what people said in other threads, i havent checked how much fps my current bootanimation is running tho, but it's in data/local and that works like a charm.
Any way to change the shutdown animation?
Hi guys
I'm trying to make a boot animation. I took the original CM7 animation and replaced the files but it doesn't work. Can anyone make this for me or tell me where i went wrong?
Thanks
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623960
I created your bootanimation, but I don't know what the screen size of your device and I do not know the fps you want, then configure it to your taste.
SWEET! Thanks dude. I figured out my problem. If I dragged and dropped my edited files it wouldn't work. If I open up the archive and edited it , it works. Probably has to do with the compression
