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.

Search for t2noob's thread "Custom Boot Animation Gallery {no root needed}" youll find info about multiple ways to change boot animations, add sounds, and find a bunch of awesome animations. youll find your answers better explained there

I pulled the boot animation from the Nexus S dump. I also reversed some of it and made a shutdown animation. On top of that I pulled the ringtones/notifications/alarms and UI sounds. Took it all and zipped it up into a flashable zip. Always backup before flashing anything
The only problem I have found is the shutdown animations doesn't overwrite the entire shutdown folder. So if you have more then 46 .pngs in your existing shutdown folder they only the first 46 will be overwritten. Can someone modify the zip to delete the shutdown folder prior to replacing it. That would fix the problem. Everything else works very well...... I'm newer to zips for if someone can fix the problem this will work great.
EDIT: This has only been tested on Mammon88's new ROM base with custom kernel.....
YOU NEED A KERNEL THAT SUPPORTS CUSTOM BOOT ANIMATIONS.....
You can also use my midNIGHT ROM (This is built in already) located at PPCGEEKS http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/sprint-ep...-7-froyo-dk28-nexus-s-goodies-12-16-10-a.html
Had to upload to rapidshare cause the file was to large to upload here.
http://rapidshare.com/files/437742174/Nexus_S_Combo.zip
UPDATE: Here is the Link to the Ringtones Zip
I have also separated everything so those without a Kernel that allows for custom bootanimations aren't left out
Think this will work with both dk28 and di18? Stupid question, I'm sure but I'm a cautious fool =)
will i lose all my other current existing sounds or does this just add to them?

I included the stock sounds as well. I use it with my midNIGHT ROMS based on Mammon88's new releases with custom kernel.. My ROMS are here if interested.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/sprint-ep...-7-froyo-dk28-nexus-s-goodies-12-16-10-a.html
So I got impatient and decided to try it. The shut down one worked but not the startup. stock rooted di18
Does this include the animation when you turn your screen off??

I pulled the boot animation the other night and all I got was the four colors coming to together to form an "X" but it keep looping over and over until the phone booted up. Is there more to the animation or is that the gist of it?

Same issue, Andromeda DI18 rom.
bootanimation is only supported as *.qmg format unless you have a kernel that supports bootanimation.zip (boot animations as a zip file)...
Maybe you should list compatible ROMS, the following should be compatible but they still need to be confirmed:
Heroic Epic
Mammon's Bonsai4All
[ACS] SyndicateROM (Shuriken)
[ACS]Xtreme Kernel (Lucy)
[ROM]VIPERrom [TRiNiTY] DK28

I can confirm the same results on Epic Experience ROM. The shutdown is pretty cool. Wish I had it for the bootup.
Sorry been busy. You need to use Mammon88's new base......I'll update the OP....
can i get a zip of just the shutdown not the startup..
How big is the file suppose to be? My dl was only 236 bytes..

Any chance of a zip of just the notification sounds and ringtones?
Can someone post a mirror to this. Rapidsucks is not letting me dowload and keeps giving me that I can't download anymore from my ip unless I upgrade. Seems like a scam if you ask me.
I flashed the Congnition 4.1 and everything is working excellent (Thanks DesignGear :-D), but when I tried to flash a custom boot animation from MobileTech.com and a Theme from XDA (can't remember whom it was from), my phone started vibrating only.
Has anyone here seen this same issue and if they were able to corrected, could you give me some pointers?
Thanks,
Brasus

themes have to be built specifically for the framework that you are running. you cannot just go around flashing random themes.
as far as boot animation, most of the time, i dont think those are CWM flashable, you just drop bootanimation.zip into /system/media/ and thats it
You can't flash any theme you want. the theme has to use the framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk files from UCKB1 rom in order to work with Cognition. So, you have to look around and see if a theme says it's compatiable with UCKB1. It's only been a few days, I'm sure you'll see some more ported on the Themes and Applications section soon.
Thanks for the quick reply.
and dont try using darkness 2.5 on 4.1 either. it worked on 4.0 but it will not work on cog 4.1.

Its for the Samsung Epic but can be used on the Fascinate.
Updated, thanks and credit to Optmsprim2 over at the Epic forums. He has given permission to use the rest of the boot animations and shutdowns and alter in anyway to our liking. THANKS!!!! See his thread here:

It looks really cool and would like to see if anyone can/would/able to port this over to the Fascinate with some minor tweaks such as replacing the word Epic with Fascinate.
Thanks!

I think just change "Epic 4G" to "Fascinate" text in this animation, and we have very, very cool boot animation. Hope developer !
what actually gets done to port this over to fascinate?
I'm quite amazed by this Bootanimation....
I'll definitely work on it tomorrow.
I've been working on an edit. I'm off to bed now but I should have it done and up around early afternoon.

Hey, guys! glad you liked my boot ani! cool to think of it on other phones.
Didn't want anyone here to put too much work into editing it since I could re-render it quick enough. Here is a link to the original animation without the "Epic 4G" in it but still says ANDROID.
bootanimation.zip
If you like any of the other colors you can fish the bootanimation.zip out of the CWM zips over here. I don't know where you guys put your custom animations so don't flash them! Also none of the other colors have any identifying text except for ANDROID.
Likewise if any of you want to go ahead and change any of them up to suit your phones better, feel free!

I'm definitely installing the Green Helix one for sure.
Omitting the www.samsungmobile.com, centering "samsung" on start boot would clean it up a bit.
i tried the root explorer route and it was a no go...is it flashable via cwr at all?
Ha thats my video in the OP...Its a really nice boot animation and currently have it on my Fascinate as well....I used the root explorer method and dropped it in system/media and overwrote the current bootanimation.zip
works fine.....

Try Super Manager. Root Explorer doesn't let me modify animations either.
Root Explorer works just fine. Cut the bootanimation.zip from system/media and save in another folder on your sd card. Paste the new one.
Make sure mount R/W is selected in root explorer or you won't have access.

Hey Guys,
I have been running CyanogenMod 7 on my Milestone for a while now, and I love it! But I do think it could do with a little bit more of eye candy. So I was wondering, is there anyway to port the gingerbread window animations to CyanogenMod?
I have tried a few Metamorph tricks, but wasn't successful. I also heard about an app called AnimMod which is supposed to do this, but I cant try it out as I am not allowed to buy paid apps in my country. So, I would be glad if anyone posted a link to a working procedure for changing the window animations.
All windows animations are in the framework-res.apk under the res/anim folder.
You can replace those with the GB animation files and apply again. Please note that you need to replace only those that are there in both the framework files.
[email protected]
Thanks for the answer.
Where can I find the gingerbread animation files? I dont have the gingerbread ROM, so would it be possible to download the files from some place.
Also, I am curious to know, why weren't these animations implemented in the CyanogenMod in the first place. I would have thought most people would appreciate the better animations of Gingerbread.
Edit: I just watched a walkthrough, and it seems that the animations in CyanogenMod are the same as those in Gingerbread. Still, it would be nice to know where I can find some new animation files
Wow I forgot that I put this together.
I named it FlyIn_FlipOut because I combined the Flying animation with the Flip Animation.
I actually spent alot of time on it pinpointing specific things which was a pain in the ass.
Anyway, it's attached.
I hope that somebody thinks that it's neat
I have attached the animation xml files for the following animation effects.
Flip
Fold
Flying
Bounce
Blur
FroyoMOD ( animations found in Luca's FroyoMOD )
All you need to do is to copy it into the folder that i mentioned in the previous post and apply it again.
Thanks Guys.
I need some more info on how to do this thing properly:
1. Where is the framework-res.apk located? I found one in the system/ framework folder but it is named as framerwork-res-mot.apk.
2. How do i change the files? and finally how do i install the apk.
In short, it would be great if you could post the steps to modify CyanogenMod to incorporate the new animations.
@zeppelinrox: Good thing you came across this post then.
Anim mod is an easy way, i use it all the time
note\ require root and busy box installed
Goodluck
Good app. Does what I wanted.
I wud still like to try out zeppelinrox's version of the animation. So could someone pls post how I could do that.

Download the theme updater flashable template zip file from here.
Download and extract the contents of the zip file provided by Zeppe to your desktop.
Your framework-res.apk is in your /system/framework folder. Using 7zip or winzip, open framework-res.apk and replace the animation files in the /res/anim folder.
Copy the framework-res.apk into the /system/framework folder of the theme updater template zip file. Copy the template zip file into openrecovery/updates folder and apply in AOR after wiping dalvik/cache.
