I've been looking around for some nice boot animations for my phone, and I thought: "Why should people go to more trouble than they need to, to find a boot animation?" So I thought I'd create a thread, and hope that people share their findings here and make things better for everyone!
So...who's gonna start the ball rolling?
Here are some really nice animations from Dysgenic, credits to him!

Nah, the dump just has a bootanim with some "Andriod 3.0" crap from the recent Honeycomb conference.
I'm sure it wont be long before the real thing finds it's way to XDA though
The honeycomb boot animation reminds me of Smackdown Just Bring It on PS2. The game hat such grid animations in the back of the menu.
having some instructions on how to replace the file wouldn't harm anyone...
i have a tmobile logo at startup that i want to remove...cannot find it anywhere
32 bootanimations in UOT kitchen http://circle.glx.nl/
1. Choose option "No battery, theme only",
2. press next till bootanimation section
3. select desirable bootanimation
4 .press next till finish
5. wait for flashable zip (no need to upload anything)
Do they fit the DHD's screen?
Last time I tried a bootanim from UOT a few weeks ago it was too small and off-centre.
I think the Honeycomb bootanimation would be good for fast boot?

Thats the splash screen not bootanimation

Yes you are right. My mistake I thought it was part of the animation yet I cannot find it anywhere.

Changing the boot animiation is easy.
Find a boot animation you like, download it, rename zip to bootanimation.zip and then use Root Explorer or ES File Explorer (in root mode) to replace the existing file in /data/local/
Back-up the file that's there 1st obviously, or do what I do and just rename it to bootanimation_orig.zip.
Changing the splash screen requires a different approach... but I already answered that for you here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=886467&page=8
I had some time off and I finally cooked something I was thinking about since long time.
The CM7 Boot Animation is pretty neat. I liked it a lot, but I wanted to add something: TUX.
I took the original CM7 Boot Animation and added Tux surfing the cyan wave around Android.
Hope you like it, this is the video of the PNG sequence

nice job. used thanks button.
:[History / Explanation]:
A while back someone wanted to have the stock Sprint boot animation play while using a custom kernel.
Because of that, I ended up faking out the kernel to get the default Sprint boot animation to play with out flickering.
I used that same method to make the Droid Charge's boot animation work on the Epic.
After doing that, I noticed that we were given a seemingly extra boot animation file with the Epic 4G, so I decided to see what it looked like if I tried to boot with it.
What I found was a Samsung Galaxy S boot animation that I had not seen.
So that was the beginning of a fun little project I did.
I took all the Samsung boot animations I could find from various devices and put them on the Epic 4G.
Turns out that the "hidden" animation on the Epic 4G is the "standard" Galaxy S boot animation that is played on some other Samsung devices.
The thing is, on most of the other devices, the Samsung Galaxy S animation is played after (or before) some other (junk) animation that is specific to the carrier / phone.
That is not the case in this "hidden" boot animation they gave us on the Epic 4G. =]
The result of all of the above is this, a collection of qmg boot animations from various devices made to work on the Epic 4G.
Here is the current list:
Code:
Samsung_Captivate_Boot_Animation.zip
Samsung_Continuum_Boot_Animation.zip
Samsung_Droid_Charge_Boot_Animation.zip
Samsung_Epic_4G_Boot_Animation_(Captivate_sound).zip
Samsung_Epic_4G_Boot_Animation_(Continuum_sound).zip
Samsung_Epic_4G_Boot_Animation_(Epic_4G_sound).zip
Samsung_Epic_4G_Boot_Animation_(Fascinate_sound).zip
Samsung_Epic_4G_Boot_Animation_(Galaxy_S_4G-Vibrant_sound).zip
Samsung_Epic_4G_Boot_Animation_(Infuse_4G-no_sound).zip
Samsung_Epic_4G_Boot_Animation_(Mesmerize_sound).zip
Samsung_Epic_4G_Boot_Animation_(Stock_Sprint).zip
Samsung_Epic_4G_Touch_Boot_Animation.zip
Samsung_Fascinate_Boot_Animation.zip
Samsung_Galaxy_3_Boot_Animation.zip
Samsung_Galaxy_5_Boot_Animation.zip
Samsung_Galaxy_Mini_Boot_Animation.zip
Samsung_Galaxy_S_4G_Boot_Animation.zip
Samsung_Galaxy_S_Georgio_Armani_Boot_Animation.zip
Samsung_Infuse_4G_Boot_Animation.zip
Samsung_Mesmerize_Boot_Animation.zip
Samsung_Prevail_Boot_Animation.zip
Samsung_Vibrant_Boot_Animation.zip
:[Notes]:
Whenever possible, the boot sound from the source device was also used.
I even converted the sound files to wav when I could (I wasn't able to get the "*.snd" files converted). =[
As you can see by the filenames, I've also included various versions of the "hidden" boot animation from the Epic 4G that use sounds from other devices.
These are CWM flash-able zips to be installed with ClockworkMod!
These CWM zips will clear cache and dalvik, the reason for this is so you get to see the entire boot animation the 1st time you reboot.
Some of the boot animations are not properly sized for our device and funs things happen because of it. =]
Don't worry, they are all 100% safe and 100% tested.
I may have used some shutdown animations in place of the looping part of the boot animation for some source devices.
The "Samsung_Epic_4G_Boot_Animation_(Epic_4G_sound)" uses the stock Sprint sound along with the "hidden" animation.
The "Samsung_Epic_4G_Boot_Animation_(Stock_Sprint)" uses the stock Sprint sound along with the stock Sprint animation.
Some of the different boot sounds sound very similar, but only two were identical (Galaxy S 4G / Vibrant).
The infuse 4G has no boot sound.
The Captivate's boot animation file is massive (16MB+)! (Also it's quite lame.)
:[About the Cleaner]:
The file "Samsung_Boot_Animation_Cleaner" is designed to clean up after these boot animations (needed to use a bootanimation.zip again with out flickering).
Similar to the cleaner found in my old thread (read for more info), the main difference is that it now also removes the boot sound that was installed as well.
Code:
delete("/system/etc/PowerOn.wav");
For simplicity, here are links to both cleaners:
The older cleaner that does not remove the boot sound.
The newer cleaner that does remove the boot sound.
:[Videos]:
Samsung Vibrant boot animation preview. This is not my video (and it's a Vibrant, not an Epic).
Notice the part after the lame pink intro? That is the Samsung Galaxy S animation I refer to as "hidden" from Epic 4G.

Yay I was gonna try to attack this project starting with the nexus s but then my dumb self forgot that the nexus doesn't use. qmg files for stock boot animations because of the aosp...... thank you so much for these..... is there any way for us to get the google splash screen without having kernel source on EG22?
Great work man.

The "hidden" Epic and the Droid Charge without a doubt.. Probably Droid Charge, the only thing I don't like about it, is I know it's from Verizon.
I kinda like the Fascinate sound with the Epic "hidden" animation.
Would be great for some audio enthusiast to make us a nicely times swooshing sound to go along it.
But it's still fun to see the broken and corrupted Prevail boot animation showing Boost mobile and samsung logos! ;]

Thanks for the feedback. I am going to try them out in the morning

Nube, I had a strange issue happen. I used the Droid Charge animation as well and it works great but...I wiped everything to restore a nandroid and somehow the boot animation and sound still stuck. Then I got crazy FCs on almost everything. I ended up having to clean install a ROM then wipe and restore a nandroid and everything was fine. What would be the cause of the animation sticking like that? I am not complaining because its an easy fix but I was just wondering. Thanks

The boot animation / sound files are in "/system", so a data wipe will not remove them.
As far as the corruption goes, your guess is as good as mine.

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

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..

Should be able to replace the bootanimation.zip in the

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!

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+
Hi All
AndrMatr here.
This thread is here for all of those who want the perfect boot animation for their device but don't have time to find it or make it themselves. I am 'opening up shop' for the first time and am willing to take requests for personal boot animations.
The best part is: It's FREE!
So, if you want a highly personalized boot animation, post it here and I will see what I can do with the tools that I have.
Post your resolution as well!
PM me about it!

No prob. How about creating an animation in which a bubble explodes and "Android" comes out of the explosion? Make it many bubbles floating around, and just before the boot happens let the text come out of the explosion. Get me?
