[Q] Has anyone tried modifying the bootanimation yet?

Hey fellow Optimus 2X fans,
I was wondering if anyone already tried to change the bootanimation by overwriting the bootanimation.zip in the respective directory.
I am considering buying a branded version of the Optimus 2X and aside from the carrier apps the bootanimation would be the only thing that I would need to change to make the branding "invisible".
Cheers

Was thinking about it yesterday, but didnt have the time to do it. The bootanimation.zip is located in the /system/media directory. But when trying to rename it to .bak i'm getting an error. Probably has something todo with the settings. I'll check on it later on this day.

Yes, i did it and its working fine

In general you can put bootanimation.zip in /data/local/. If it will work on 2X I don't know, but just put it there and do 'adb shell bootanimation' to test it.

Still haven't tried it, I'm having trouble removing the original boot animation.zip. But I'll try it with root explorer.

You don't have to remove the original one. The one in /data/local/ has priority.
Besides you should be seriously careful what you do in /system, because there are several ways do destroy your phone at the moment, before we crack it completely.

Ah ok well that's the reason why I haven't tried it yet. I'll try to put it in data local first.
I normally don't remove stuff from the system directory.

Yea I would love that smashing Tegra2 showoff intro

Attached is a Honeycomb boot animation, i would say thanks to the people who ripped it out but im not sure who did it :/. Ive replaced the bootanimation.zip in the system\media folder on my Hero using Root Explorer and it works a treat. So might be the same on the 2x? not really too sure on this one....

I think what is most important here, is that the resolution of the animation
after all it's only a text file and some png's
I dunno what resolution the hero has, but i suggest using bootanimations with the native resolution (800 by 480) for the O2X

I got the Motorola Atrix 4g Boot animation if someone is interested

Yeah not sure about the resolution.... but when i downloaded it there was not really a device specific requirement and i seen it was compatible with the Evo which the native resolution is 800 by 480 right?

Installed on my 2X currently running Paul's vanilla ROM - looks great, no issues.

I tried the LGx2 bootanim on sgs I9000 and it works, so it must work the other way around I guess.
Anyone up for some testing? Try some from my stash. Link in sig.
Got a very nice xda bootanim.

I dont mind testing at all. I have the OS2x one at the moment . And i got the atrix one as well as the honeycomb one on storage .
I just wish someone would make a snazzy one with the Tegra 2 logo

I have a branded phone from Swisscom in Switzerland. I have used this app and have changed the bootanimation. http://www.androidpit.de/de/android...uctions.bachanger/Boot-Animation-Changer-LITE
There are some stock bootanimations to choose from. The app is been upgraded all the time and should support sound as well.

[BOOT ANIMATION] Particles Portal

This is my latest android boot animation.
There are two versions.
One with intro and loop
One with the whole animation in loop
Tell which one you like more.
Files can be found here
Hope you like it. If so, use thank button or donation (I'll appreciate it. LOL)

Both look similar but will go for the second one cheers mate
PS - can i just flash this via CWM?

They are the same. I couldn't decide if I liked the whole animation keep looping or just the final part with the Android text
as a loop

I love these animations but is there anyway to get them to work in miui?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

i don't use miui, but i guess zip file goes to system/media
browse your system folder and search for bootanimation.zip
there put the new file

Thanks for the good time

Miui can change boot screens through the theme Chooser without having to use root explorer but I think it uses mtz files. Do you mind if I ask if anyone can make a miui version of your boot?

Simply download the file and extract it, open the folder and open first file (using Windows and Fax Viewer). From there, you can just press and hold the right button to see the animation.

No need to spam this thread anymore. I know what option there are to view it. But for the creator it should also be freakin' easy to create a .gif or whatever.
I don't grab it cuz I don't know what Im grabbing. And maybe other think like me, and RobYyY has less people using this (which might be an awesome bootanimation....)

Nope that probably won't work cause the Ace's screen is bigger. If you want to use them, you have to resize.

Nah, you just need an image editor to edit the size (240x320) and to change the txt file. Don't test the new boot anim in your device. You can find Boot animation Factory here, in xda, just search for it.
With that, you can also preview the boot anim in your pc ;D
This night I'll upload some geek and sexy boot animations

[WIP][PORT] Jelly Bean Boot Animation

I really like the new boot animation in Jelly Bean so I took a few minutes to port it. Attached is the ported bootanimation.zip file from Jelly Bean. I basically just re-sized frames and changed the resolution which has it working pretty well.
It's *not* flashable and it *does* require root.
To install just place in the /system/media folder using root explorer, adb, terminal emulator, etc.
There is color banding. I've been playing with 16 colors and dithering which fixes the banding but introduces tons of noise. If anyone has some experience with this, tips or intervention would be much appreciated.
Edit:
- mixtapes08 (Post #4) posted a flashable zip.
- this is from the OTA preview on Galaxy Nexus (Google IO) as albundy2010 pointed out.

Just installed this and it is very nice. I absolutely love this. I kept restrting my phone to see this. this can lead the way for people planning on porting Jelly Bean 4.1 to our devices
Although i thought it would look like this - http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...lly-bean-boot-animation-as-seen-on-a-nexus-7/
edit: thats just for the nexus 7

It looks very good !! Tkhs you

CWM_flashable Jelly Bean Bootanimation. Don't forget to thanks the OP ok?^_^

Keep in mind that the x boot animation is so far only found on the ota preview for galaxy nexus. The nexus 7 has a different boot animation

Quite right, though, I like the X one . It's so... simple.

Same. Reminds of boot image of the nexus one

It probably saves a lot more battery than the ICS one, that's for sure
Nexus S (GSM i9020a)
Paranoid (14.a Hybrid - 4.0.4)
Matrix Kernel (CFS - 20.0)
Intellidemmand (800/100)
Live OC (105 - 800/1000)
Deep Idle (On - Noop)
BLX - 96

Actually looks so much better than the ICS one...

will this work on galaxy y? would really like to try this.

Well, I don't know for sure as I don't really have one to test with but a bootanimation gone bad wont hurt anything if you'd like to test it. The resolution is 480x480, if that's too large then maybe it won't work. Let me know and I can post a re-sized zip if you'd like.

I think it will be too large,
the Galaxy Y only has a screen resolution of 240x320
