Hi...for those of you that saw it, I did ask this in a semi-related thread...but I figured it's going to be buried there, so I thought I'd post it here:
I'm having problems with using metamorph boot animations....is there a limit to the resolution?
the only ones that have worked (boot animations through metamorph) are ones with 256x64 resolutions...
even when i create my own, that's the only resolution that works
is there something screwed up? hehe
i'm running a rooted milestone
Just a little bump to see if anyone else out there has experienced similar problems
This is my first attempt at a boot animation. The only tools I used was Photoshop, Internet Explorer and a whole lot of patience.
It is very large right now, a whopping 32 MB...but functional. In retrospect, I should have stuck to less frames and tried to maintain the looping effect, oh yeah, and I probably should've snuck DESIGNGEAR's name in there somewhere! (oops, sorry about that).
Maybe with a little luck, I can clean it up a little later on. Let me know what you think.
Oh yeah, maybe someone in here could rig up an animated gif of this thing to serve as a preview?
Download
Photoshop can make animated .gifs. Just make each image it's own layer, and use the Animation pallet.
I'm liking it. Especially the AT&T burn effect.
screenshot please?

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?

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:

:[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.

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.
Droid Charge boot animation preview. Again, not my video (that's a Droid Charge, I think).

Nice Job , nube !
Good Job my dude i was just looking into something like this lol Great Job again
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

Used the droid charge and I like it. Thanks!
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.

Is a kernal with boot anim support required for these? Or can this work without it since they are also qmg files?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
No kernel support needed my friend, we need to see you on here more.
This is a custom bootanimation I created for myself and now others to use.
The bootanimation includes
--extremely simple graphics
--loop that plays until phone loads
--gay humor
over all it's simple and though it may not look the best~ it's something I'm proud of and find humoring
Enjoy
It's all animated.. couldn't get the animation link to work though :/
The 'Fruit Yeah' loops as a loading bar until the phone boots up. the rest animates only once.
It runs smoothly (due to simpleness I'm sure)
