Hello fellow xda forumers sad first post, But I plan on being active here & contributing.
I've looked into boot animation swapping, after looking around the forums here I've found a bootanimation.zip containing a bunch of png's for sequences in a folder called "part0", I've made images to sequence, But am unaware how to do this & every guide has only confused me. Im using CM 4.2.15.1, G1 "Dream" incase that helps on a 1.6 base. I believe the nickname is "cupcake" pardon me if im wrong. If anyone could offer their assistance or point me in the proper direction for a guide it would be much appreciated.
My sequence is uploaded here, note its semi "SWF". It's Louise as thats my forum name everywhere I go if available.
Edit: I've realised I most likely posted this in the wrong section, sorry for that.
Rename you images from boot_00003.png through boot_00097.png
Place them in part0
Rename another set boot_00098.png through boot_00146.png
Place them in part1
Edit the desc.text from 320 256 to 320 to 480
See attachement
Thanks a bunch, Will put it in now and see how it goes!
Seem's like its not working with CM4, instead of complaining: Updating to CM5 seeing how it goes since CM4, seems...obsolete compared to CM5.
It is obsolete, you will love CM5

Kii is recieving update.script not found error, Im re-rooting the entire thing!
I hope..this works.
*Maybe because Im using a JFe Recovery Mode*
edit: CM5 is now installed
Using the boot animation from above, it's just black *Used the commands
su
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local/
reboot
Black load up
Great job updating to CM5, you will be happy!
As you may have guessed, Eclair+ firmwares (2.0+) are the only versions of Android to accept bootanimations in the way you wish to accomplish. As CM4 is Donut (1.6) based, you were experiencing problems.
I wish I could help you with the bootanimations, but to be honest, I've only ever been able to get them half-working.
its a black screen because you have compressed your images in the zip, you must set it to store in the zip for it to work, read my tutorial, link in sig
I was wondering if any kind soul could make it possible to provide flashable zips to change the transition animations on our phones. I know that Adrynalyne had some cool transition animations on some versions of his SuperClean Rom, but I would like to continue this. Also, in particular, if it's possible to have a screen rotation animation I would love to have that also. Thanks!
The only way would be to either have metamorf files (which someone posted here a very long time ago) of the different animations or have multiple zips that only include framework-res.apk. The animations are controlled by xmls located in framework-res.apk/res/anim. I myself for my personal theme have created a nice cocktail of the various types of animation xmls used tasefully for various ui events and actions.
good day.
There is an app on the market. Ani something....I'll find it. I have it on backup

Saw that app, and a couple of fascinate users comment that it boot looped them. If that app swaps out the "whole" anim folder within the apk and if you're running comm rom or the newer sbrissen mods it will surely boot loop you. 7 xml's pertaining to the lockscreens have been added by sbrissen to that anim folder and if those get deleted by an app replacing the whole anim folder within the framework it will certainly lead to trouble.
good day.
Works fine for me. No boot loops on CommRom 2.1.

that wasnt necessary
Actually there is a way to patch basically any apk or jar file on the phone through a flashable zip. I have been doing exactly that so that I can maintain mods between upgrades.
An anim patch would be very easy to apply without breaking anything. But as chopper the dog stated, if you mess with or delete others then there will be issues.
Anyhow if interested I can put together a basic anim patch for testing or I can share a readily available anim patch for cm7 (mtd, possibly miui as well) as proof of concept. From there you could modify what you want patched to your liking and the updater-script for (rfs) if needed.
Of course this is something that only myself have used, so it would come with no guarantee's. Would be interesting to see how compatible it would be or better yet how far it could be taken. I have replaced resource's this way without issue.

It would be great if you could get this tested by a few brave individuals. If you want, you can use my thread or make another one. I personally need the stability of Comm Rom for everyday use of my phone so I won't be going to CM7 until some of the signal, SOD, and calling issues are addressed. The AnimMod app works great but I would like to see a larger compilation of transition animations to choose from. We could even stick these zips in the theme sticky . Also what about screen rotation animations? Is this possible? Thanks for answering my call to god!

Those SOD issues were a blessing in disguise.. lol
Not completely familiar with screen rotation animations. A quick search states there used to be what they called fancy animations in android 1.5 but no longer added after. I could be wrong this is my first android phone, so I don't know the history. Anyhow there are some slightly rotating anims in the patch.
Ok, so this is what is going on..
An apk is just a zip file with an .apk extension. So what I am doing is utilizing a zip binary that is copied to a temp location along with some very basic commands. With these commands its basically injecting the structure of the res folder in the patch, to your framework.
Therefor you can use this to inject basically anything as long as you follow the structure. As stated before I have changed resource level items such as colors without issue. Just be advised if you change out any id's from public.xml and many others it will end in failure. This can also be modified to patch any apk or even jar files. It can also be modified to make a cwm zip of your current rom, data apps etc... The list go's on!
So in a sum, the zip will copy a zip & zipalign binary along with the script and patch files to /tmp. The script will kick in and as an added bonus (incase anything go's wrong) will make a backup of your existing framework-res.apk and create a cwm zip and place it on the root of your sdcard called notta-anim-patch-restore.zip. This zip can be flashed to restore the previous state.
Then utilizing the zip binary, will inject the patch files zipalign and ovewrite your /system/framework/framework-res.apk. In this case a set of animations. I hope this is a satisfactory explanation.
As with anything you flash, you do it you except responsibility. Also I have personally tested this one ukb 2.1. This should work with any touchwiz fascinate rom, well anything with a system location at "stl9".

I would love to have a custom boot animation made from one of the Tiamat wallpapers shown here. If some one could take the these and simply add a spinner I would really appreciate it.
My artistic capabilities are pretty basic and even then I do not understand how to create these bootanimation.zip files. I tried modifying an existing one and it did not work, so something went wrong.
If someone can help me with the creation of the zip file I have come up with some art work that is passable. I have tried creating the zip file, but the Xoom does not like it.
I've converted a few videos to bootamimations and have a few working desc.txt files. Also fixed a few phone animations to work on the xoom. What do you need help with?
Working on a few right now for others but I can see if I can help in any way
Thanks for the offer to help. Basically I think I understand the desc.txt file and the required folder structure but when I push the file over the animation does not work. Now I just took the wallpaper and added a progress indicator as simply as I could, so it is not very artistic. If you could take a look I would really appreciate it.
I am using WinZip and I have it set to no compression.
i'll give it a quick look today and let you know.
edit: it looks like you may need to just put part0 and the desc.txt file in the zip file, not put them in a folder first, then in the zip file. good idea for the loading, you could get some crazy designs with it if you wanted to take it further. i'll try and modify the zip file and update again.
edit 2: works now bro. it runs a little fast, so if you want to reduce the frame rate a bit from 20 to maybe about 15 or so, it could help (just a thought). anyway here is the updated zip.
Thank you very much. The version you posted works fine. Could you tell me what program you are using to create the zip file? I am using WinZip and whenever I create the file or edit it, the resulting file does not work for me. I checked the folder structure and it should be fine. I edited the text file to reduce the frame rate but then when I recreated the zip file it would not work.
no problem. i used 7zip to zip it, just make sure you have the compression set to STORE. ive tried with winzip before and had no luck.

Hi guys.
Before rooting/flashing my Xoom, it had a nice Motorola animation with the red Motorola logo and some kind of circle waves going out from it.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to install that animation? I did a CWR backup before flashing, so it might be in there ¿?
Or is it available in the forum?
Thanks
Rodrigo
As far as I know, the default boot animation on the Xoom was the blue Honeycomb animation. I've never seen anything resembling the one you mention, although I wouldn't mind seeing it as a sort of collector.
Not sure how you would get that one little part out of CWM, so short of finding a copy somewhere online, you might be out of luck.

Nice animation. Now, with the Tiamat Dragon Head Logo, someone should do a full Dragon theme for the Xoom. With dragon icons and graphics I think it would be great. Just wish I had a little talent as an artist and themer.

ICS Transition Animations
First off:
Disclaimer
If you somehow manage to wreck your phone from installing this I will laugh at you and will suggest everyone else to as well. I and no one else involved with this project are in any way responsible for your actions.
Or in the great words of AvatarOfFrost: I am responsible for damage to your device....NOT!
BIG thanks to AvatarOfFrost over at the ET4G forums! See the original thread here.
-DOWNLOAD-
Option 1: I have zipped the animation files so that for those of you who would like to go the manual route and swap the files in by hand. You can!
Manual Method-BROKEN
Option 2: I have gone and quickly swapped out the animations for SRF 1.2 and Marcusants ICS ROM. They are available in flashable zip format.
SRF 1.2-BROKEN - ICS v6-BROKEN
Option 3: I've made a MetaMorph compatible zip(I think). Just download and install MetaMorph from the market and Morph the zip!
MetaMorph-BROKEN
I might do requests. Just holler at your boy...G
I am so white...
Yoink!
Sorry iSaint.
Awesome! Someone test the metamorph way, I want to try this out on cm7!
Haha I just tried the MetaMorph zip on CM7. Caused boot loops. I did leave all the Samsung files in there...
Someone test it for a standard GB or Froyo ROM?

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.

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.

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.
