I hope this is the right spot for this topic.
I was finally able to create my very first custom boot animation for my HTC Thunderbolt.

I tried installing but it keeps saying install aborted. I rebooted in recovery and installed zip from card. I left the file as bootanimation.zip because I know it had to be that to install to the device but for some reason when I go to install it it keeps aborting my install on the thunderbolt. Any help would be great.

... You don't flash it. You either adb push the file or use a root explorer.
i just tried the root explorer and it still is bring up the das bamf boot animation screen hmmmmm

Yeah, as idkwhothatis123 said, simply replace your current bootanimation.zip with this one.
I used Supermanager to copy the old one from the \system\media folder to my SD Card and then put this one, which was on my SD Card into that folder. Reboot and it should work fine.
I hope that helps.
that worked thank you.

If you're referring to the splash screen, that's a different process. If that's what you're talking about, I can explain that when I get off work.

I'm not entirely sure. I would assume if you had the same dimensions (480x800) then it should work. But, do a quick Google search to see.

Any help will be great. Yeah the only thing i get is the final screen. I don't have the apple logo or the android coming in and flicking the apple away. All that shows up is the final part of the animation.
Ok, so I just downloaded the file I have up and I see what you guys are taking about. I will upload a new file a little later. I'm currently at Kings Island. The thing I don't get is when I extracted the bootanimation.zip on my phone, all the files were in the zip and desc.txt were all correct. So, I will look at it when i get home. Not entirely sure what happened.

Sorry about that guys. I tested this one again after I re-zipped the bootanimation. Any other problems, please let me know.
I hope you guys enjoy this.
HA. This is cool, you should give some thought on adding some sounds to it. Hinds73 has a tutorial on it that works perfect.

Tried installing this with Root Explorer as I did with my Evo. Rename the current bootanimation.zip to oldbootanimation.zip and put this zip in system-customize-resource folder where these zips are deposited. Rebooted my phone, and its still the MikRoms animation from the Gingeritis rom im running. For the hell of it I wiped my cache partition and my Delvik..no go

I would go through the process again. I had this happen to me before, but it was because I forgot a step. Lol. The little things are sometimes the most irritating. You might try total commander, and make sure you have r/w permissions.
Sent from my rooted, Dark Horse INFECTED Synergy bolt running Ziggys latest.
yeah im going to give it another shot..But with Root Explorer if you dont have the proper permissions it wont even let you move files so I know I got that part right lol..Ill have to look up this total commander you mentioned. I remember having a small issue awhile back with RE and Estrongs and permissions (1 let me move things while the other didnt..and both were set to r/w not read only)
worked for me, looks awesome!! gonna show this off to a friend of mine with an iphone tomorrow haha
Installing it right now with the custom splash screen picture
Let's see how this works.
I'll show this to all my iPhone friends, haha.
Thanks for your work!
EDIT:
I got a suggestion if you'd read it
Maybe make the text appear a bit slower like the system is 'really' computing?
I notice it just jumps up rapidly and clog the screen so quick.
I understand the whole text stays there for a while so you can read it, but I think the 'coolness' factor is lessened because the text appears and scrolls up so fast.
Just a suggestion

I posted this over in the Vibrant forum, but wanted to share it with all of you. I have one other that I posted there that I'm redoing to include a shutdown animation as well. Let me know what you all think of this!
The zip is flashable through CWM on at least galaxy s phones and a mt4g, so I imagine it works on others, too.
Credit to jlbmgrnr for collaboration on the idea and packaging it.
- Standard disclaimer about me not being responsible for phones getting messed up goes here -
file: dancing-boot-anim.zip is just the dancing, without the fake apple bootscreen.
file: bootanim-dancing-edify.zip is flashable with CWM3

I love the vaudeville green man. Can you put up a version without the -unqualifiable- apple?
In 2011, it's not as if we still have fight to get the green man a seat at the table.
awesome boot animation man. already installed it to my HTC Desire HD. good thing it's 480-800 resolution by default. i thought i would spice it up by adding my own custom sound mp3 to go along with it. sound file link at the bottom of this post.for those with a DHD you can push the files through AndroidSDK adb with the following commands. for this instance i am using the rom LeeDROID 2.2.2. connect your dhd to your computer and make sure it is set to charge only and make sure debugging is set to on.
first download vaderville-boot-anim.zip and extract the contents to a folder on your computer. first go to system folder and then media folder and find the bootanimation.zip file. copy and paste the bootanimation.zip into the same folder where your adb.exe is located which is usually program files\android\android-sdk\platform-tools\. open up adb through your cmd prompt and execute the following commands to load the new boot animation.
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
also extract and put the android_audio.mp3 file into the same folder as adb so type:
adb push android_audio.mp3 /data/local
now we test everything out by rebooting
adb reboot
if everything goes well, your dhd will reboot and play the awesome boot animation along with the "new york, new york" song by frank sinatra minus the voice. this tutorial can be applied to any android phone provided you know where your rom stores it's boot animation file and sound file.
thermanlee maybe you can ask jlbmgrnr to add this sound file to the package so it can be flashed through cwm. in the bootanimation.zip you can open up the desc.txt and change the resolution to fit your android phone and then save and flash it. enjoy
Awesome
Can has MDPI version pweez?
nice!!! good work mate...

It may not, and I didn't even think about that. I'll look around tonight and see what I need to set up differently for CWM 3, and I'll repackage it if I find any info.

(Same deal as before. I imagine thermanlee will want to pop this into post #1.)
This has been floating aroung for a couple of years now so I take no credit for the original idea.
UPDATE: I have redone the boot animation to see if this will work for those having issues with the original. Please give this one a try.
I simply edited all of the images to match the specs of the Thunderbolt.
When booting it has a sound of a hard drive starting up with beeps like an old PC.
This file greatly speeds up the boot proccess of the Thunderbolt as well!
The original file is about 3meg, this file is just over 1meg.

The attached zip file is not a flashable zip, it contains the boot animation.zip and the mp3 sound file. Open the zip file and copy the bootanimation.zip and the FinalThunder.mp3 to your computer so that you can copy them to your phone.
Depending on the ROM you are using place the 2 files in the following directory on your phone. If you are unsure, just look in the directory and if it has bootanimation.zip and FinalThunder.mp3 then you are in the right place.
You may have to set permissions on both files to rw-r--r--
(You could also use adb to push the files to your phone if you would rather)
If you think you may want to revert, copy the originals somewhere on your SD Card first.
Stock ROM (and probably most custom ROMs:
/system/customize/resource/
For Adynalyne's DeBloat ROM:
/system/media/

Just a side note: Need to rename the bootanimation.zip file to VZW_bootanimation.zip
Edit: for the stock ROM. Sorry, should've specified.
It's not working for me I put the bootanimation.zip on the sd card and put it in the right folder (I have changed boot-animations before successfully) but it just gives me my splash page and then a black screen until the boot finishes.
*edit* I guess it's because I've got the VirusROM on... Darn...
Same results here, but in all fairness, I'm on virusrom, and I'm not sure what's up with that. I'll keep looking.

it only work for a reboot or hard rest with mine. If i power off and power back on with fast boot enabled it just goes to the blasck htc screen and stays on that till it turns on...help?
You guys with ROMs that it's not working on, is the file named bootanimation.zip?
And are you setting permissions? I'm not really sure that makes any difference but who knows.

It is in the third sequence of Images bit o think the TB boots before it gets a chance to display.
I'm stumped as to why people at having issues.
As far as Virus ROM, I haven't tried it so I'm not sure what that might be.
All I get is a black HTC screen, no BIOS.
Nicely done!

Last track off Lateralus is another. I got sound to work on a boot only once. I copied the stock boot to desktop, went in with 7zip on the animation I wanted and copied the folder that has the jpgs and pasted it in the stock. Then renamed it to VZW or whatever it was named in the original stock boot animation folder. Then took an audio clip from the NIN Quake soundtrack to audacity and cut it to bout 30th secs and have it start fading out midway through. Renamed this to FinalThunder.mp3 and used root exp to move sound and boot to proper folder on phone. Hope this makes sense and helps you. If you figure out something let me know. Also. I started the thread of changing animations and would like to link to this boot animation if that is cool with you.

If you can find a download of it you can always resize the .png's to fit the hero screen size
The download is in mine post, tried to but didn't work.... Meby HTC HERO is completly different then the EVO ?
Yeah the screen size is different, hence why you'll need to resize all the .png files
Like I sad, I already resized all the .png files, but this didn't work

What's the problem, black screen?
If it's an animation, how have you packed the zip file?
The "bootanimation.zip" needs to be "STORED",
The flashable zip (if you put it in one), can be compressed.
You also need to make sure you dont have a "thumbs.db" in with Your images too!!
If it's a .gif make sure it's NOT optimised or you'll get a black screen also.
Hope this helps
I've tried both
adb push C:\bootanimation.zip /system/media/
and
adb push C:\bootanimation.zip system/customize/resource/
and they are in there, but still standard anim
I've attached my modified file for you gkillerx just in case you didn't change the screen sizes part of desc.txt

What's the problem?? In order to help and trouble shoot you'll have post details about the problem.
What rom are you using, where is the file being located, are you getting a white screen, black screen, it boots but is distorted, kicked your dog and stole your car??
Any info will help.

Your welcome, we all have to start somewhere.
I'm still a noob myself but have made plenty of bootscreens so have a fair idea.
Looking at the rom your using, the boot-animation should pushed/flashed to system/media in a .gif format as it's an eclair (2.1) based rom.
I'll download the boot-animation now and report back shortly.
Edit: the reason your were failing is because you were trying to push a png animation instead of a gif animation. I've turned the images into a gif and changed the evo information on the images to say hero instead.

I'm running floyo(2.2) at the minute so i cant test it, heres a zip file to flash. If the flash fails it probably needs re-signing(my sign tool is broken atm), so you can either re-sign it, adb push or copy and paste it with root explorer or something.
hope this helps.

the reason your were failing is because you were trying to push a png animation instead of a gif animation. I've turned the images into a gif and changed the evo information on the images to say hero instead.

Ah I wasn't aware it had to be gif, I'm so used to fannying around with my Galaxy S I assumed it would be .png
I'll give it a try when the sprog has gone to bed, it's not really my cup of tea, but I'm using my hero to experiment with stuff

Your welcome, we all have to start somewhere.
I'm still a noob myself but have made plenty of bootscreens so have a fair idea.
Looking at the rom your using, the boot-animation should pushed/flashed to system/media in a .gif format as it's an eclair (2.1) based rom.
I'll download the boot-animation now and report back shortly.

You are the man!!!! I real, REAL appreciate this, will try this NOW!
YES! it's working! wwwweeeeehhiiieee!!!!
thanks man! But it keeps looping it's but that isn't a big deal it's a little weird. Can't you make the animation like 60 seconds(that's how long it takes for the boot screen to go away)
Glad it works.
i know why its looping, i put the gif into an old bootscreen zip, its using the instructions from that, ill sort when i get a chance.

Nice! can't wait man
This was requested by another user here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1159894
Mad thanks to my man Illinois08 for helping me with sound on the project!
I would like to give a huge shoutout to KiloJKilo! Your donation means so much and shows our work is appreciated! Thank you again!
And before anyone says anything, Yes somebody has made one like this before but I have made my own edition from scratch and the other one I have seen was elongated instead of portrait, which mine is. I also added a sound version. So this is not stealing from original creator because I made my own.
Now, I have 2 versions. One with Sound and one without.
Download your choice from below.
Place on SD.
Reboot to recovery.
Install zip.
Reboot and enjoy!

It is not EC05. It is DK28. Is that the problem?

How did you dl... like xda app or from computer?
it was designed and working on EC05 so it could be a DK28 issue...

I used the QR code to download it. I've tried other ways as well. So it would seem that there could be an issue with the ec/dk. That would imply that dk28 handles the bootanimation.zip differently? I compared the desc.txt file to one that works on my phone and could not really find any difference. But I have an untrained eye. Has anyone else with a DK28 rom had any success with this? I copied the bootanimation from the zip over directly and fiddled with the resolution and frame rates to no avail. If I put the FPS to 30, I get a black screen instead of the stock android.
Guess what? I just got it to work. I extracted the bootanimation.zip out of your original file and copied it to system/media, rebooted. Win.

The desc is going to be for the most part similar across all android devices except for screen size and frame rate. If you edit my desc from the boot zip you will get a black screen. You would have to extract everything and edit and rezip.
As long as bootanimation.zip is going to system/media... there shouldn't be an issue.
If you get a black screen there is something wrong with the bootanimation.zip and if you get android logo something went wrong with flash or your system pushing to system/media.

Awesome! Glad you got it!
Perhaps users from dk28 should manually put the files in the apropriate folders. I want to thank you for this screen. It looks nice on my epic. Thanks for your hard work

Wow! Thank you so much for the donation. It truly means a lot!
Im so happy you like it!!! Thanks for supporting us! I added a shoutout to you in OP!
I had some trouble using this. When I installed through CWM it only applied the sound and not the boot animation. The sound also cutoff halfway through and was all static after that.
Had to use a file manager to wipe it out since installing a boot animation over this one wouldnt work.

You might try extracting the bootanimation.zip and copying it to system/media. Cwm3 did not work for me either as you see above. If the sound continues to give you trouvke, I'd just manually apply it as well.
