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.
Hi All,
I have edited the official Nexus Prime boot animation (BA) to fit in our MDPI because the original form of BA was for HDPI devices.
You can use this BA in any MDPI devices/roms/versions.
How to install: (Not flashable)
Download the attached zip file (don't change the name)
Use Root explorer or same kind of tool.
Copy the boot animation from SD card and paste it to system/media folder (please don't forget to unmount by pressing r/w)
Note: Given path is for CM7 and for MIUI ROM put it in /data/system/theme/boots/
Reboot
Thanks to febycv for the HDPI boot animation and Video.
Nexus Prime BootAnimation Preview
tnx a lot
Not even time to wish that I found it on xda, you are fantastic!
Thanks!

1500+ downloads but just 10 thanks..? Sad, anyhow will upload new modded boot animation from Samsung Galaxy S2 later today.
One of my favorite boot animations. Resized for our tablets.
Copy to /system/media and reboot. You need root access to copy this. Most people use root explorer for this. This is only for aosp roms such as AOKP / CM10 and the like. Not for stock roms!!

Thanks for this. Question, did you have to delete the old boot animation file and did you have to mess with permissions?

You can backup the old boot animation on the sd card, or rename it to something that dont mess up with the new one.
@OT Could you provide more bootanimations? And maybe for the 7 inch and the 10 inch one?

Yes just rename it to bootanimation.old or copy it to a safe place (like the external SD card)

Yes I could resize it and make it bigger, smaller etc I will work on it tonight and update the post. I had a buddy here who wanted it so I thought I'd share it with everyone.
Thanks
Noob question, where is that dir? system/media
I use astro file manager, and can't find it
You need root explorer to see those folders.

OP updated with resized animation.
I have been working on this a bit and have failed at it miserably.
I'm trying to get this animation onto my tab:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/20788-bo...ic-old-skool-arcade-title-screen/page__st__10
Ideally I'd like to get it running in "portrait" mode, which I think means all the images need to be rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise.
I haven't managed to succeed, only make my tab not display anything on screen anymore in landscape mode, and display only like 1/3rd of the screen in portrait mode.
That was fun to fix LOL.
Anyways, any suggestions? It seems like this should be easy!
Looks great! I'm about to try.

TouchWiz: Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061883 and follow instructions and downloads. Might not work though since it says armv7 CPU.. which ours is not. Might be worth a test though.
Apex Theme: Install this launcher first: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anddoes.launcher then go to https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.photox.touchwhiz and install that. Then Make sure you are running Apex Launcher, and press menu / theme settings, select theme and that's it. But if you want the real TW experience, first option might be best.. IF it works on our device.

yeah the easiest way is to use apex (great launcher!) and use the theme! For the Launcher itself look in the thread for the introduction
but why should our phone not be a armv7? - I think it is!
Oh sorry my mistake! I had a quick look at the CPU and I saw ARMv7 rev 9, and I only saw the 9 not the 7.. my bad. I guess it should work then!
I've tried the one from htc one v forum, but the resolution size is not correct (wvga) and doesn't work with stock rom either. I am currently looking for some wxvga version.
