[Boot-Animation] Android Revolution Animation Made By Me!

Hey guys,
I've enjoyed ARHD and XDA for so long - i thought i would give something back to the community.
This took me a few hours last night to work on - i've tested it on my own and it works great.
Test it out and tell me if you like it or not
Here is a .gif preview:
It may be different timing than the actual load (faster or slower depending on internet connection)
Also - the quality is blurry on this... it is less blurry (for me) on the actual phone:

Enjoy!

GUIDE TO CHANGE BOOT ANIMATION:
1. Download zip from link in OP
2. Download on your phone Root Explorer or use ES File explorer or a similar app.
3. Go to /system/data/local on your phone, and make a copy of bootanimation.zip on your SD Card
4. Place my bootanimation.zip onto SD Card (make sure you RENAME IT so it doesn't override stock bootanimation.
5. Move downloaded zip from SD card to /system/data/local and rename again to bootanimation.zip
6. reboot phone
Enjoy a new custom ARHD boot animation!

My bootanimation was found in data/drm and I copied & pasted a bootanimation in there to replace the old one but nothing happened, do I need to remove the old boot from there completely. I renamed it (the old one that is) but still no change in my boot.
Any answers

Changing boot image/animation

Hey guys,
Been doing lots of reading online and haven't been able to figure out how to change my boot image/animations.
I'm running a Canadian captivate I896 and I have flashed it with the Odin 1-click gingerbread flash tool found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127249
I also rooted it with the stuff in that thread.
I would like to be able to just drop a bootanimation.zip into a system folder but it appears that I have the .qmg files in the System/Media folder. Everything in there also appears with a shield on the icon and I can't rename, delete or put any other files in that folder.
I am using Root Explorer and I have it in R/W mode.
What do I have to do? Is there another thread I should read? I have done lots of searches but can't find anything.
Thanks

Depending on the version of Android you're running, the filename of the animation is different. For Froyo(2.2), bootanimation.zip. For Gingerbread(and Ice Cream Sandwich, presumably, 2.3/2.4), sanim.zip. /system/media is usually where you would put the file, but some kernels read it from /data/local.
The qmg files are the original Samsung boot animation. You can usually leave them there.
If Root Explorer won't let you write, even after hitting the R/O-R/W button a few times, it sounds like the rooting didn't work.

Thank you very much for the reply.
I just flashed to the Illuminance 3.0 rom with the Samurai 1.4.2 Kernel.
Root Checker says I have root access.
Still can't write anything to the system/media folder.
Good to know that I need to rename the .zip file though.
Any further info you could offer on the read/write issue or where the .zip needs to go would be greatly appreciated.

Ha! Threw the .zip in the data/local file and the animation works great THanks. Now I just need to figure out how to get rid of the stupid AT&T image.

The first image you see is from the bootloader. The AT&T bootloader can be hacked to replace the image. Alternatively, installing bootloaders from the i9000 will replace this with the stock Galaxy S image. Check out the Android Development section for bootloader info.

When I try to move the .zip file I get the error "Java.io.FileNotFoundException" why?

If your device is rooted, you can run the app called "root tools" and change your boot animation, it comes with a few good animations. the only thing is you have to pay for it. google root tools.apk and you'll be able to find it

There is a much better, simpler, and safer way to change your boot animations.
1. Make a copy of the zip file that your rom installer came with.
2. Using a program like 7zip, open the zip file and clean out all directories except everything in META-INF, and /system/media.
3. Go into the /system/media folder and remove everything except bootanimation.zip and sanim.zip.
4. Copy over the bootanimation.zip and sanim.zip (if they're both there - if not, just copy over the one that's there) with your own versions of these files. MAKE SURE THAT THE FILE YOU PUT IN WAS ZIPPED WITH NO COMPRESSION. (You can specify compression in 7zip - it will be the "store" option).
5. Close the zipped file.
6. Save the zipped file (with whatever name you want) to your internal SD card.
7. Reboot into CWM recovery and flash.
This will replace your boot animations with your modded ones. If something goes haywire, worst case scenario will be you don't see a boot animation before the rom boots. If that happens, just use the same steps above, but don't replace the boot animations. Flash that "revert" version.

also rename the bootanimation to what yours is named either ATT_bootanimation.zip or bootanimation.zip

Here is how I did it.
1. Download the .zip to your desktop and rename this file to the file that your device uses. (I use ATT, so I navigated to system, customize, resource, and that's where I saw my boot animation and it was, ATT_bootanimation.zip
2. Mount the disk so you can open the external sd drive on your computer
3. Moved the .zip file from the desktop to the external sd drive
4. I use Rom Toolbox, but use a root explorer and copy the bootanimation zip file from your external sd card, to your devices bootanimation file, It will ask if you want to overwrite or keep both files, but you MUST overwrite. Reboot phone and it should work. If that doesn't then try and install it from your recovery and you might have to delete the cache, but try that.
I do recommend backing up the phone and the current rom though...Just incase

Is there a specific place to go where i can download different boot animations for the vivid as well as preview them before downloading?

There are boot animation threads...
Trial and error as far as what works...
Our screen is 960x540
Anything smaller COULD work

You can always try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678540&highlight=sense
You have to download them first but it lets you see what it will look like.

Don't overwrite your ATT_bootanimation.zip file just rename it ATT_bootanimation.bak (or just bootanimation.bak if your original bootanimation file is named just bootanimation). This way if you can't get it to work then you can delete the file that dosen't work and go back to your original file by putting the .zip back.

Try install boot animation factory
HTC VIVID 4.0.4 SENSE 4.1

I'd love to try Annimation Factory but it requires Win SP3. I only have/use the laptop my company gives me and they control what SP are installed with an iron fist and we are only on SP1. I really need to build a new box. I"m still working on doing it the old fashion way as discribed in the OP's document.
EDIT - FYI - I installed Annimation Factory and it works just fine on SP1. One thing that I have noticed every time I open it it prompts me there is a new version even when turning off the check for updates in settings. When I try to download the new version it gives a downloader error. I don't think this is related to SP1. The AF version I have works good though. I'll go and get the new version manually.

OP is for 551 version, are you sure you don't mean 550?
EDIT: Never mind, I looked through the files and saw they were 1080p versus OP's 820*520 pixels. Thanks.

Is it just me or is it pretty slow? Maybe the phone can't keep up with 1080 at boot?

Thanks for giving me credit! I appreciate it! I'm Dustin.

Hy guys!
I'm currently using a Nexus 5 and i really love the Nexus Root Toolkit ( NRT). It's a software that allows you to flash an image, root, etc, with just a few clicks.
Is there anything like this available for the Asus Zenfone 2?
Thanks!

[MOD]Flashable Boot Animation Sound Remover

This flashable zip file is intended for those who have maybe changed their boot animation, but still have the stock boot up sound playing in the background. It might also be for those who have flashed an animation that came with sound or those who just plain don't like the boot sound and don't want it to play anymore too. Yes it's true that the boot sound can be removed manually, but for those who don't know how or even those who do, why not just flash a quick file to remedy the problem?
This should work on most Android devices, everything from AOSP to Samsung, etc. You must be rooted though to be able to delete system files obviously. Other than that...
Here Are The Only Steps You Need To Follow For Removing Your Boot Animation Sound:
1) Just download the "bogartysoundremover.zip" file and copy it to the root of your sdcard.
2) Reboot into TWRP or whatever custom recovery you have.
(There are also apps in the Play Store like "Rashr" that flash zips if you don't have a custom recovery.)
3) Select "Install", navigate to the zip file and install it.
That's it. Easy! You should now be boot sound free.
NOTE: There is no risk in flashing this file btw. If it doesn't work on your device, then it just simply does nothing. Be sure to leave a comment with your make, model, android version, etc. though if that's the case and I'll add an exception for your device in the script that makes sure it does.
Also, if this file helped you then please be sure to hit the "THANKS" button.
Additionally, PLEASE DO NOT MIRROR THIS FILE! If you want to share it with people, then simply link them to this thread. Thank you!
