Boot Animations (requests) - HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity

Let's take advantage of this gorgeous screen and throw together some boot animations. Here are a few of my others that I've converted for our 540X960 display. The first thing you'll need to do is figure out where you're boot animation is and what it's called. You can figure this out a couple of ways, the easiest is just browsing the .zip of your ROM. You can also download a File Browser with root permission and look for it from your phone (you'll need a root file browser later anyway, I like Root Browser - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1338582) A lot of the ROMs that are floating around right now, based on an ATT build anyway, are going to be located at /system/customize/resource/ and will be called ATT_bootanimation.zip - note: there will probably be a bootanimation.zip here too. If so, that's OK. Leave it alone - If you don't have an ATT_bootanimation.zip, but only a bootanimation.zip, that's it. If it's not there, check /data/local/ for bootanimation.zip. It could be in a number of places, if you have trouble, let me know what ROM you're running and I'll take a look. Once you've found the location and name of your bootanimation, you'll need to download your new boot animation, and rename it to exactly what your current animation is called. Now it's probably a good idea to back up your current animation just in case something goes wrong, and the easiest way to do that is to browse to it via your File Browser, and rename it with a .bak extension at the end. Now copy/paste the new bootanimation (already renamed) to this directory. Now long press the bootanimation and choose Permissions. Set permissions to RW/R/R. Reboot and Enjoy the animation. IF your bootanimation is called ATT_bootanimation.zip and it's located at /system/customize/resource/, you can download the "Flashable" zip at the end of this, and using 7zip (http://www.7-zip.org/download.html), you can add the downloaded bootanimation (which you've already renamed to ATT_bootanimation) to system/customize/resource/ in the .zip, delete the "placeholder" file, put it on your SD, then flash through recovery. DO NOT FLASH THE "Flashable.zip" BY ITSELF. THERE'S NOTHING IN IT TO FLASH. ADD YOUR ANIMATION TO /system/customize/resource/ FIRST (If this is not where your bootanimation is located and you want a flashable .zip, let me know where the bootanimation is located and what it's called, and I'll throw one together for you). Taking requests... (youtube videos, animated .gifs, or other bootanimations, please. I am NO graphic artist) If anyone wants to know how to make your own, I put together a how to for a fellow Inspire user, with links to the softwares I use. Only difference would be anywhere you see 480 or 800 you would need to substitute for 540 and 960 respectively.

Thanks to the multiple how-to's I've found over the last year or so that have taught me how to make these, and to the original creators of the videos/graphics that are used in the animations.

hey homeslice would you please make a cwm flashable zip for wc's roms that change the boot animation for the newist release att ics? the illuminati one would be nice that is if you have time

They're actually not that difficult to do. I'll add this to the OP too, but here's a doc I made for someone else on the Inspire that goes over how I do it, with links to the softwares I use. Only difference would be anywhere you see 480 or 800 you would need to substitute for 540 and 960 respectively.

_calvinjohnson boot animation has been added to the folder with the rest. Here's a direct link http://www.mediafire.com/?s63tcwjqm10rb4s
Instructions in the first post still apply. Rename it to ATT_bootanimation.zip (or whatever your current animation is called), put in in the folder where your current bootanimation is, change permissions to match the other files in the folder, reboot. If your bootanimation is located at system/customize/resource/, then you can download flashable.zip from the first post, put ATT_bootanimation in system/customize/resource/ using WinRAR with store compression, flash in recovery.
Randong, you've got PM

It looks amazing! When I get some free time I will play around and see what I can create.

It's not out, but a system dump has already been released here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=600190
the bootanimation is made of two series of png files, not a gif as we are used to... i attached it, maybe someone can throw it together as a gif and resize it, this way we could implement it as a bootscreen.
edit: upload does not work from here...
Upload to somewhere like 4shared.com or mediafire.com and then post the link here.

well, probably someone at google thought it would look better that way...
but we can try to put them on the hero in portrait aswell, i am afraid that it might look ugly if the picture doesn't fill the screen either vertically or horizontally

same here, please try again. we need an animated gif, not a jpeg.
I had to install GIMP to do it as CS4 sucks for resizing animated gifs. Anyway, here you go, resized to 320w x 480h and rotated 90 degrees CW. There may be some quality loss due to the resize but I'm not sure if that can be helped.

doesn't work looks just wired, some patterns are there, but it is totally crapped up.
edit: also gave me a bootloop. gonna look into the properties of the gifs now...
That's not good
There must be more to it than simply resizing and rotating the original file.
here ya go
the problem was that most of the png files were indexed colors with a very small palette. i converted them to rgb and made a gif that works. i had to resize the image to make it fit, i did NOT stretch it (no need as the animation doesn't touch the two sides). came out kinda nice, just try it. apply as update.zip in recovery, or use which ever way you like to get the files into your phone as always no responsibility & do a nandroid backup first
download the bootscreen and apply as update.zip
if you want to go back to stock go [URL='http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=582336]here[/URL].
Thanks man, that's cool you figured it out.
I'm going to do a nandroid backup later anyway as I want to try a couple of themes so I'll give this a try too.

[BOOTSCREEN] Nexus Bootscreen

the animated bootscreen from the htc nexus, as seen in this video.
it is rotated to portrait and shown in fullscreen. this was requested in this thread.

Edit:
Works nicely, comes up instead of HTC after the Hero screen. Slightly pixelly but other than that, is good! Nice one!
Just tested it, and i really like it

i tried to make it that first the hero with the two nandroids appear, then the looping nexus screen. didn't work out as i couldn't align the pictures correctly, but i'll be working on that, maybe i can figure it out on friday (gonna have a hangover, tomorrow is the company christmas party ). i like the hero animation with the sound (only the two short android noises, not the htc noise) and the phone is still the hero. also goes great with the original splash screen. i'll let you know if i can make it in time for your 1.7 release, will be an exclusive first then drop me a pm if you have an eta yet, i won't tell anybody

1.7 is released and the bootscreen u made really gave a beauty enhancement. Been reading alot about the bootanimations and figured out that 2.0 does support the droid and nexus type of boot.img, just need to resize all the pngs in bootscreen.zip and change settings in the file in that zip and then finally add the bootanimation binary from nexus. Just didnt have the time to do it, gonna add that later for 1.8 release if people want
Is it possible for me to add this to a stock Sprint Hero? If so, can I choose to replace the Sprint animation w/ the Nexus Bootscreen.
Thanks.
guys.. any idea if it possible to run these bootanimations in Eclair AOSP? becuase AOSP roms dont use animated gif rather use 2 single png files which give a animation sort of feeling not original animation. cheers

yeah i have read what behnaam said. thing is that he is talking about 2.1 series not AOSP series. he meant that he will make his next 2.1 release such that it will support the bootanimation.zip file which contains 2 animation file and 1 plays after another like FLAN (nexus). he dint say that he will make AOSP like that.
so i want to know if it is possible to make AOSP to support playing animated gif file as bootanimation.

Boot Animation Android Eats Apple (EVO)

Ok so I finally got around to the animation, yes This probably should go in the general android section and I will post it there too, but Mainly here for the Audio post. Depending on what rom your running you'll need to rename the android_audio.mp3 to SPC_bootanimation_final.mp3 and/or put it in the necessary place. There is a tool that can do it for you. Al-last here it is.
Pre-Warning, It does contain offensive language. (If your offended easily)

Fixed the file to correct the spelling.
Nice. Can you edit the last frame though? It's supposed to be spelled $h!tt!ng (double t)
Good Catch, I'll Work on it tonight. I was in a rush to get it done and I'm a terrible speller...

Boot animations

I'd like to start making some boot animations. Since I have a bit of animation experience and I don't really like any of the ones that I've found.
Once I get started I'll start posting them here for you all to use.
I have a just a few questions before I get started.
First of all I'm assuming it has to be the proper resolution and I believe they need to be gif files.
Is there anything else that I need to know? I've read a few threads and saw that some people had trouble getting them to boot for some reason or another. So is there anything else that I need to look out for?
Thanksss.

From what I recall, different phones don't necessarily keep the boot animation file(s) in the same place. AFAIK, that's the only real issue other than that you would have to provide different resolution versions if you want your boot animation to be usable on different phones. IMHO, I would just make it for the Eris first and if there's a demand for specific other phones/resolutions, then cross that bridge since there's no use doing work that's not needed yet.
You might end up tweaking the animation too, so you might as well "beta test" it only on the Eris to begin with for that reason, too.
Sorry if I'm ranting, I'm really really tired so I'm extra silly. LOL.
I don't think they use GIFs. I think they use a sequence of JPGs (completely up to you how many frames. Normally I could double check on my phone but I can't at the moment but I'm sure you could find the info somewhere in here.
I hope I'm not misleading you about JPG versus GIF; take it with a grain of salt since as I mentioned I'm tired. Good luck!

I could be wrong but I thought they were png files in the boot animation. I'm pretty sure that it's usually located in /system/media but I thought I read at one time that they can sometimes be located in data also. Good luck with the work though. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
you can use either one, gif or .png... use png for better quality (if using photoshop, save as for web, then use png-24 option and save.
also, make sure you don't compress the zip at all when you package it. Use the option "store" to zip the files up using no compression. If you compress it, it won't be accessible during boot and you'll have a black screen.
The bootanimation should go in data/local
here is my red cyanogen bootanimation zip, feel free to pack your own bootanimation into it, then sign it and it'll be flashable in recovery.
remember: the bootanimation.zip cannot be compressed... the flashable zip CAN be compressed.
Good luck! Hope to see something cool soon.
WOW i wasn't really expecting that much feedback. thanks a lot guys. i'll start playing around with this stuff as soon as finals week is over! :X thanks again!

edit: I'm already bouncing around a few ideas in my head. I don't think I'll be able to get around to it until tuesday at the earliest though.
Also if you guys have any requests, my animation experience is somewhat limited but I'm willing to try anything!

I could be wrong but I thought they were png files in the boot animation. I'm pretty sure that it's usually located in /system/media but I thought I read at one time that they can sometimes be located in data also. Good luck with the work though. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Just to be clear for anyone else that reads this... if you're cooking your own rom, you'd want it there in system/media ... if you're making a flashable zip you'd want it to go into data/local

Thanks for clearing that up shed. I knew there were 2 different places it could go just couldn't remember the difference. Lol. Xda app needs the thank button. I'll hit you later on it. Lol

I like it!!!
I have a .gif file that I would like to make my boot animation ... can someone tell me what or where it needs to go, please ?
Does it need to be signed and zipped or can it just be placed in system/media or .... what ?
Sorry if this elementary .... never messed with boot ani's before, just stuck with the ROM boot ani.
>> just tried a RedCMbootanimation.zip .... placed it in system/media (removing the ROM's bootanimation.zip > Nonsensikal 15.2 blue CM boot ani) ... renamed it the same as the boot ani I replaced (bootanimation.zip) ... no worky ... just a black screen ... is it b/c the zip file is compressed ? D
>> Also tried to put my gif. img there ... got a standard 'android' boot img.
>> Do I need to open the ROM boot ani .zip file in AC/adb and replace something in there ?

It needs to be made into a zip named bootanimation.zip and not compressed and pushed to data/local. the redcmbootanimation is flashable from recovery.
Alright guys so i've made my first animation just to kind of test the waters. Definately not something I'd release on here quite yet.
The issue I'm having is that it is going at a very slow frame rate. What can be done about that?

try editing the desc.txt framerate. that's the number right after the resolution (ie. 320 480 15) the bold number is the framerate, try upping that, but I wouldn't go any higher than 25.
Good luck, hope to see it soon

Thanks dude. Yeah I actually figured that out. What I actually did was i changed the framerate of the boot animation it's self because naturally I just set it to 29.97 since that's standard ntsc. so i changed that to 24 so it matched the desc.txt and i saw a slight increase in speed. I'm gonna play around with it a little more, maybe make the frame rate of the animation it's self even lower and see if i can get higher speeds. Hopefully without losing too much quality though.
Also, I read somewhere that if you use a smaller resolution it will go faster. So i'll give that a shot as well.

Yeah, you can make it 320 x 320 like the cyanogenmod bootanimation, just make it's background black. That's why theirs runs nice, it's 320 x 320 -vs- 320 x 480
downloaded the zip, thanks mate
gonna play around with it and see what works
anyone got a signing program? my SDK is being stupid tonight

Yeah I noticed that and I figured that was why it looks so nice. Kind of a bummer you can't have a full screen one that runs that nice though. Oh well.

Someone PLEASE put this on the D3!
I'm working on it now, give me about an hour...i'll test it too.
Longest part is downloading and reinstalling flash, i've already dissected the swf file into images and
sound though.
For some reason when I break it up the animation gets stupid when the Transformer builds, it's like it's
not even include in the movie...but I know it is.
I'll be happy if you get it ported successfully
Thats cause prime is in pieces and put together with a script over the black background I have a idea ill test on my d2 first and post results..
Its finished all working on the Droid 3 here is a sample working video

didn't seem to work for me...
just black screen till it finished booting... so i went back to my Stargate animation
[edit]
hrmmm seems like it's a different method than my other animation to get it to work...?
I just read the install.txt ha, meh bad... I'll give it a shot in a little bit and see if it'll work.
I have the origional android boot screen, I would like to have back. Any way you could make that work?

Should be able to replace the bootanimation.zip in the
/system/media dir.
I renamed the existing bootanimation in case i ever decided to go back and left it in the folder.
send it to me ill see what I can do .. 'I dont like to over write the file in the system media easier to fix is something trips out using the /data/local/...
here ya go.
BTW Seiryu's method worked aswell. No issues using that exact file.
Thanks to both, and cant wait for your method aswell, to help other less brave (or stupid, which is me lol) people from doing this before we have SBF lol

Sorry for the slow response, forgot to come back and check this thread
I can't remember exactly where i found it, it was a few weeks ago now... I attached it to my post though, just rename it to bootanimation.zip and place it in /system/media. There's no audio on this one... but should be pretty easy to add. I'll see if i can't add it later today if I get some free time i've just been lazy
Looks nice! I will test it out later!
Thanks!
Droid prime animation
I am new to this stuff and recently jave rooted my phone and have learned how to put boot animations on. However i am trying to get this one on my phone and it works but its too big and i have tried adjusting the size in the desc.txt but then the animation no longer works. Can someone please help me convert it so it fits my mytouch 3g slide. 320x480
Just wanted to say thanks for this awesome Boot Animation. Absolutely love it.
this is simply beautiful. i like the fact of nothing getting officially overwritten so it accounts for a safe/fast add or delete with no problems. A+
