sorry if this is in the wrong section, it was either this or the android development, figured boot screen was closer to theme than general development
with a custom rom that includes a "new" boot animation, is it possible to download and install a different boot animation of my choice instead of the one in the rom or does the fact that the rom includes a new one prevent me from loading it?
i have plain jane 2.2 i believe, and tried to install the decepticon boot animation, with no success. if there's some literature somewhere, i'd love to be pointed in the right direction and read it on my own, but if its just easier to say yes or no and why or why not, then that's fine too.
First answer: Yes. You can use any boot animation with any rom. Assuming it's sized and config properly.
Now the other part. Some roms store their BA's in /data/local and some store them in /system/media
I would suggest you look in both those folders to see where you existing BA is, then add your new one there.
You can change any tons bootanimations, you can buy bootanimation pro from market and choose one of there's and click and it does it for you or you can find one you like as a custom one and use root explorer to change it or you can use commands and push it to ur phone there's already a post on how to do it I think on theme section where your post is at on one of the pages
Thanks, guys. I'll check it out. It's just a matter of knowing where to start, which I didn't know hence my question.

Hey guys,
I'm trying to create some custom boot animations for a DEV, so far I have been downloading ones and using them as templates and replacing all of the frames, but they don't seem to work. Anyone here have some experience and might be willing to take my animation frames and compile a boot animation for me please??
Any help would be greatly appreciated
No one out of the thousand developers on this site is willing to give me a hand??
I've tried replacing the anim folder in system/framework/framework-res.apk/res putting in custom animation on my MIUI 1.10 but the default animation always shows. Just wanted to know if any of you have succeeded on getting custom animations on our phones....
Common guys!!
Nobody has custom animations yet??!!
Edit:
Problem solved after using metamorph!!!!
I tried to port ICS transition animation.but it was working only in few apps.And most of the apps get force closed.
First decompile apk and replace xml files and then again compile it and sign it then replace it in framework folder.
U need apk manager to do all these stuff.
U can also try UOT KITCHEN.

I am not sure if you are asking for
1) replacing the MiUi animation with another MiUi animation
2) replacing it with any available bootanimations.
For 1 Miui itself has option, browse through menu option from theme, you will find a drop down for changing the boot animation and you can download many from the net - have tried this and works
For 2 - Rom Toolbox Pro is a good option has plenty of boot animations which you can download and install - I have tried this only on stock/rc2/CM7 not on Miui since I found the default to be phenomenal.
As promised, I will be releasing animations regularly. Here are links to each:
1. Draw-On Graffiti Style Animation (The original from this post)
2. Team EOS Silver 3D Text Animation (A <2mb Replacement Quick Render)
3. Team EOS New Logo Design Animation! A first look at our new logo! (Full Animation) [NEW 04/01/12]
Artists! Design your own styled EOS themed animations. We have a skilled community and I'm sure you guys could come up with some great ones! They should be no larger than 12mb (at the most) and be verified working. Post them to this thread and I will add them here. Who knows, yours may end up in a later release!
To replace the stock zip use a market app like BAC orrr:
(this assumes that you are running a rooted aosp-sourced build and understand how to manipulate the filesystem in r/w)
Make backups of your bootanimation.zip file(s):
Check both /data/local and /system/media
1. Rename the downloaded animation file to bootanimation.zip
2. Check /data/local and delete bootanimation.zip if it exists.
3. Enter /system/media, delete bootanimation.zip, and move the new zip into its place.
4. Reboot the system.
If it borks it will either revert back to the shiny android text sequence and boot fine
OR
loop endlessly (could look fine could look crazy distorted, no matter) and still boot fine...with the exception that nothing will work.
If this happens, connect to the adb shell as superuser, list processes, and kill the bootanimation process. Revert your animation, report it to the designer and live happily ever after.

the db.tt string is a link. Just put it into the browser. The file is a little over 10mb compressed and:
A. xda doesnt allow over 8mb
B. xda doesnt allow new accounts to post links
so i had to use ingenuity.
far out
thanks for the boot animations. d/ling now. t

Could someone provide a screen shot or something of the sort ? Thanks !
OP: Inventive way to insert a link. Sneaky ... I like it !

I did the same thing and ran into the same problem. I had to reboot into recovery and restore a previous nandroid. The boot animation looked cool, just not sure what the issue is. I sat there for 5+ minutes looking at "for science!".
to be honest guys there's two things I changed - firstly, we're running our build of ICS. Secondly, I'm using jpegs to reduce size. Nothing else has changed, and to be honest I've had this animation as well as others act unpredictably and work sometimes and loop others after copying over the *exact* same animation. I will do more research also, and any trials and error data would be helpful.
Quick side question: are you guys who are having loops using titanium backup, using the setup initiated google backup/restore, and/or running a security app such as Webroot on your tablets?
Also, are you copying these manually or using an app and to which location?

I'm using root explorer to push the bootanimation.zip to data/local directory... I do have titanium backup, but I only use it for user apps, not system, and I'm not using the google backup service or any kind of security app... Hope you get this working soon, really like this bootanimation. and thanks for taking the time to look into it...
OK everyone, turns out I made a mistake with my finalized formatting that I use. Here is the link to a proper working boot animation with the proper format. I will also update the link in the first post.
I will also render an ICS stock animation in this format and get it out today.

Awesome - downloading ....
Tried it out... and on my screen the bootanimation is squeezed together... can't make out what it says..
Having trouble pushing a Boot Animation ... use this
For folks having problems installing this awesome animation ... here is a solution.
I used it with not problems and it backs up your original. Follow this thread.
If you find it to be helpful give thanks!

Oh, and for submitted animations, the specifications are:
-PNG or JPG Sequences
-704 x 440 size
-desc.txt should be 1408 880 24
also - the images must all have a border of deadspace static pixels.
You may use the template I posted here
..just make sure to half the rez and leave out the layers from the template

quick noob question
I have recently FLASHED your cyberdine terminator bootanimation (brought me back to my younger years) and it was awsome by the way, thanks for that mate..
My question is, how can i replace a flashed bootanimation with one of your latest awesomenesses..thanks again mate!
All good!!! My question is solved..thanks again for the wicked animations phokus..
Whoops, didn't see parameters.
MUST HAVE ROOT!!!
I will not give you instructions on how to root your device! I will redirect you to the Wikipedia page and you can figure it out for yourself!
Here is another post of some boot animations I made.
There are boot animations for MDPI and HDPI devices.
I'm not going to ask for thanks, but it would be nice.
These animations take a long time to make, please post your resolutions so I can make them fit your device!
XDA tells me how many times each file is downloaded, so either post something or do a thanks!
A lack of support makes me not want to make more!
HOW TO INSTALL METHODS
1. Use jrummy's Boot Animations * Root app
2. For android 4.0 and up, use a root browser to rename the .zip file to "bootanimation.zip" and paste it in /data/local
3 For below 4.0, paste the bootanimation.zip in /system/media
For energy-drink themed animations, go here:

Please show your support! A thanks or a comment is always welcome!
If you want me to make you a custom animation, I will. PM me about it!
