[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.

What? If you follow the instructions provided in the OP you should have no issues. If you can tell me what steps you took trying to install this I may be able to help.

I installed this on my zoom but it looks hella pixelated when I looked at it. OP, are you using a custom Kernel or a stock kernel? Does that even matter in this case?

I am using tiamat kernel however, I don't think that should be an issue. Image is clear on my xoom. Maybe redownload? I don't know why that would be happening.
Anyone else having grainy/pixelated images?

It just lags for me. I'll reboot again.

so god damn cool good job, you know the animation when they present the title of every transformers, if you could do that with the word xoom and the end of the original gearz bootanimation it might very well be the most sickest thing I've ever laid eyes upon

=-O excellent job. Majority of the animation is slick and smooth. My one small critque would be the word xoom at the end. To me it just seems out of place with the rest of it. Maybe a more futuristic looking font with a darker color to it to match with the gears and blades spinning about. Or like MitchTruck suggested and animate it someway. Otherwise supurb job.

MiUi Screen Animations (1.9.16) Only works on MiUi and the newest build.

Here are a bunch of animations that I found. I made flashables. I will make sure that these are updated once we update EVERY build. These animations will work on any phone running the latest MiUi build. Have fun and enjoy. If you happen to stumble upon a animation no in the op, please feel free to post a link to it and as soon as i can get a chance i will make it..
.....::: Cheers :::.....
Please make sure to re boot twice and let sit for a little to allow the lagg to go away
Previews will be coming soon. I need to make them. =)
I Take Absolutely No Responsibility For Damaged or Broken Phones! Make a Back Up Before Flashing Any of These!
Bounce Animation (clickme)
Fly In and Flip Animation (clickme)
Twisted Animations (clickme)
Stock Android Animations (clickme)
For those having problem's with their phones not taking the flashables i made
First download the animation you want above.
next your going to want to pull your framework apk from the current rom your using by navigating to system>framework>framekwork.apk, place it on the pc your going to use.
rename the framework.apk to .zip and open with what ever program you use to view zips
Now that you have your stock apk renamed and opend in your zip program navigate to the res>anim folder thats going to be the folder we are going to drop the modifeied xmls in the animation zip you already downloaded
now navigat to animation.zip file you downloaded and also open in your zip program
open the anim folder
copy all of those modified xmls and paste them in your stock anim folder that we left open replace anything it asks you too
now you can close out the custom anmation we wont need it any more
now close out the stock zip as well
navigate to the stock file we just moded and rename it from .zip to .apk
and your done
push the frame work apk to the folder you took it out from and enjoy

Awesome!
Can you also make flashables for the overscroll like on CM7? The glow doesnt fit MIUI, CM7 iphone-like bouncing is way better imo ^^
Would be awesome.

Beats Audio Bootanimation

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....)

Halo Boot Animation Need help

Hey themers need some help!
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
My MLG Halo team have alot of HD2s. We were wondering if someone could make this video a boot animation. Will donate to compensate for their time. Thanks!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPPA9m9UygA

do you want the full clip
also do you want sound? may be a bit difficult to get it with the sound (not attempting the sound)
halfway there
it may be a bit big to be a boot animation

Do I install thru cwm or rom tool box
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA

Just navigate to where the boot animation.zip file is in the rom using a file explorer a just replace it... I don't know where it is on tosti v10 most probably in the system media file
NAND OR SD ROM?
if it is magldr then copy the zip file to system/media and rename the bootanimation.zip file that is there first (as a back up incase it doesnt work) and paste the new bootanimation file... you may need to edit the permissions as they are the same as the previous boot animation
dont know if there is a difference with the boot animation folder on a sd rom

What do I do with the JPGs?

Resize them to the screen size of the phone (480x800 I think) and make the text file for it with the times etc... then make the zip file and put it on the phone in the right section. Ill explain tomorrow when im on the laptop if you don't understand... Ill make diagrams..
Also I use a programme called boot animation creater makes it easier to make and it previews it for you aswell
