hmm .. if I remember well there was already this / or a similar question some days ago.
Put your new bootanimation.zip into /data/local and it should take this one when booting.

Hello
Some1 made Q-thread about fancy Sense LWP like bootanimation. I was wondering how to extract images from LWP apk. Uncle Google didn't helped . I think it's impossible to get those images from apk. But in some way I get full animation It will be my sweet mystery how I do that. It was quite simple but sneaky.
I've made few versions. The clear one is most smooth coz I could resize images and stretch them in phone without losing sharpness. Also I couldn't make it as slow as LWP because of smooth but it still looks great IMO. You can try to change fps value. So, after long hours of work here it is:
(of course it's moving like original LWP)
v1.0-SenseClear
v1.0-SenseWhiteSimple
v1.0-SenseWhite

Nope, rename it to bootanimation.zip and push it to /data/local/

Whoa! Can you convert the animation to a working live wallpaper? Like the one that comes with HTC Sense, which doesnt work on other phones?
That would be great!!
I made mistake. It's for wvga not for hvga. I'll add version for hvga tomorrow. Sorry...

Just rename file to bootanimation.zip and push it to data/local. There should be old bootanimation and you have to replace it. If there isn't you can try to search it in system/media or system/customize/resource.
you can push it via adb, android commander or with some explorer with access to root.

To cypis: Please friend, could you also make a live wallpaper for our phones?
HVGA & WVGA are available now to download. Enjoy.
And where? In the first post there are only the pictures, no live wallpaper
And cant find a bootanimation with 800x480, either.

Sorry for previous quote. I thought that he's talking about bootanimation.
I didn't agree to do live wallpaper. I don't have time right now I don't have skills to do this. Don't ask about it. This is a thread about boot animation.
If I'll made it you'll hear about it. 480x800 = wvga

You should have root access option in esfile explorer settings.

Why don't you post how you extracted the pictures? That's just lame and useless for devs...
Thanks cypis, i got it now, after i rooted my phone.
good job...!!! thanks
Excellent work Man!
Thx.
Using terminal :
1. Rename to bootanimation.zip
2. Put it on your sdcard
3. open terminal enter these commands:
su
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local/
reboot
I have been thinking about this for some time now ... How does the htc sense skin changer work? From my experience with android ... A change to framework-res.apk needs a reboot to take full effect ... Like the metamorph app ... It works similarly ... It takes the files from ur sdcard and patches the framework ...
This is where im confused ... To make changes like this ... U need to be rooted and also need to reboot ... And even if it worked the same way wouldnt nand lock just restore it? How is it this skin changer works? If it does work this way ... How the heck does it stay the same ... Or is it like framework-res.apk is an empty shell that has links to the external files?
Could some1 with root please give their framework-res.apk before and after changing the skin? Like from htc to slate or wood ... I want to see what is really happening here ...
Ps if this belongs in the general please could the mod move there? Im extremly sorry if it does ... It is related to root and nand lock so i thought id post here ...

hmm, when u got temp root check for the rights that are set on the file, on this way you probably get you answer
what i think is that specific files are excluded, so they are editable
btw isnt the skinchanger for the launcher only? than its mostlikely just an xml thats been loaded...
it changes the notification bar too
It's a good question, one I am surprised I didn't wonder... I will pull a part the apk to see if I find anything
It doesn't replace the framework-res, because the battery mod sticks when changing theme, so I presume it overlays it in some way
Please test this app.

Teoretical this reboot ONLY all android processes and Android Interface but NOT physically phone.
Maybe modified files on partition / and partition /system (eg flamework) will not disappear ...

Ok guys i ripped up the frameworks before and after changing skins ... And they were the exact same thing ... It seems that the skin changer overlays the existing looks with the theme ... So no changes to the frameworks ... It just overlaps the.framework images with external ones ...
Wow

But where is it mirrored? Could sum1 with some app experice please check the code out? There are two possibilties here ... Either it is mirror from somewhere in the system partition ... So it can bypass nandlock ... Or it is mirrored from the sdcard ... So we can make our own themes even for s-on devices

The Desire HD until it wasn't S-OFF: First temp root then paste modified "framework-res.apk ' to /system/framework, then hot-reboot (eg this app https://market.android.com/details?id=com.grrmode.quickreboot&feature=search_result), and this worked, maybe it's same with Incredible S?
No i mean like ... The app dosent even touch the feameworks ... It works from files from somewhere else ... Is that /system or the sdcard? Like if u download an extra skin from the HTC Hub... Where is it stored?
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App
Skins taken from HTC HUB, are simply installing APK to "/data/app".
Flamework-res.apk is in /system/framework to be applied need to reboot the phone. In DHD, when there was no S-OFF helped hot-reboot, it restart android interface but modified files stayed.
APK files modify with eg Winrar
So its in /data/app ... Damn ... Hoping it was on the sdcard ... Too bad

Skins HTC Sense: these are the files APK that install like any other program in the (/data/app.) It does not require permanent root, and do not delete at reboot
But you can move through the application manager to the memory card ...

and i cant find a suitable overcloak kernel.. mr yagyagaire links seems to be broken for rom ddkq7...
sorry for this stupid question..
thanks in advance for the help
You can get a lot of bootanimations on xda get the zip file and place it in /system/media folder keep a backup of the original bootanimation.zip in case you screw something up..
And what do you mean by CWM theme ??? Are you talking about CM7 themes ??
Hey fellow 4X HD owners
I have a question regarding the bootanimation:
The change of the bootanimation itself is easy,
but it seems that there is another "animation" (actually just lg logo)
in front of it; is this kernel related or can we change it?
And related to the shutdownanimation:
The zip of the shutdownanimation in system/media is obvious,
but can I remove it or do I have to replace it?
PS: D4's bootanimation app installs the bootanimation to data/local,
why does the android system search for it in there on ICS?
(I know it's been there n GB 2.4.5 or something)
Greetings and thank you all
Marius
nice to know this
and how can i change it .. because i dont have permission to copy other bootanimations to the system/media folder..
pls help
You need root and then you can replace it either manually or through a various number of apps
