Hello all,
Attached to this post is an updated version of the BIOS boot animation for your shiny Desire HDs I don't own one myself (just yet at least!), but I was making one for LeeDrOiD's ROMs, and thought it would be good to create a generic one if you are using a different Custom ROM.
This is based off of the original creative/design of frysee! Thanks to him for allowing me to mod this boot animation for the DHD!
I have tested this on my Classic Desire and it seems to work great, so if anyone runs into any issues, please let me know in this thread.
Some things you should note:
bootanimation.zip is within the scar45-desireHD-bios-bootanimation.zip
android_audio.mp3 is also included, which is start up sounds from an old PC
You should be able to replace the originals, either by replacing them in the .zip before flashing, or using S-OFF (or recovery) to replace them after.
Most common path for these 2 files is /system/customize/resource
Previews below were mangled by the forum upload process, but they're perfectly crisp 480 x 800 PNGs within the .zip
Note that this did take me a good while (editing 92 .PNGs), since I couldn't use the classic Desire BIOS generator to make the specs change to the Desire HD, so any donations are greatly appreciated, especially if you get a kick out of this boot animation!
Oh, and if you want to include this boot animation on your website/ROM/etc., just send me a PM first...thanks!
Hope you enjoy!

Hi goran, I don't have a Desire HD myself, but I believe you should look in /data/local to see if the original .zip file is there. If so, simply replace it (you'll need S-OFF, or do it via Recovery using ADB).
Do NOT try and flash the .zip that you downloaded (scar45-desireHD-bios-bootanimation.zip) as it contains another .zip file within, namely 'bootanimation.zip' which is the one that you should replace. Neither .zip files are actually flashable, so you'll probably just get an error if you attempt to. With the provided .zip package that I've attached to this post, you should be able to Google and find the answers as to how to replace it if you're still having difficulties.
Thanks for your interest in this too!
It's quite funky. I had a little chuckle when I saw that apparently the HTC Ace has an i440BX motherboard in it though
ah ok...i have custom lee's rom with soff and recovery...but I cannot find anywhere the bootanimation

THX for the animation.
with estrongs I was able to replace these files.

Just replaced the files and rebooted my DHD.
Always liked the old fashion boot..
Thanks for your work.
It needs to be pushed to data/local/, works well

Astro cannot access these files, you will need root explorer to see and manipulate with it.

HOW TO INSTALL BOOT ANIMATIONS
FOR CUSTOM ROMS
1) download your desired bootanimation.
2)rename the file to "bootanimation.zip"
3) Using any root explorer copy/push your bootanimation to /system/media/ or /data/local/
IF YOU ARE ON STOCK ROM>>>>
1) make sure you are fully rooted...use z4root to root the phone and its perminent root,
install busy box from market and also install root explorer from market!
2) Using root explorer SET to R/W delet the original bootanimation.zip from by Navigating to /cust/(what ever folder depending on which firmware you are using)/media.
SO its from CUST to MEDIA!!!!
3)Copy your desired bootanimation.zip to /data/local/
AND BINGO!!
WILL BE ADDING MORE CUSTOM ANIMATIONS

hey guys, i tried changing bootanimation exactly like in the steps on first thread, first i tried to copy bootanimation.zip to syste/media/ and it said u cannot paste here because the file system is read only ,so i went to data/local/ and pasted there ,rebooted, no new bootanimation , i then went back to system/media and changed mount r/o to mount r/w and it pasted rebooted and no new bootanimation
i had been using custom roms but restored nand backup hoping to get my apps back , they came back but my original rom as well
does this method only work on custom roms?
I also checked the site you refer to for more help but didnt really understand how to do that
any help much appreciated thanks

In the stock rom the Ideos checks the cust partition for boot animation. You'll need a custom rom to push the animation to system/media
thanks tila
worked great, thought it was the custom rom, i read on the froyoman forum someone wanted the original bootanimation, i way prefer the custom ones , the android bee rocks, but if u do use original i hope we can still change them ,
love your work , cant wait for froyoman v3 and gingerman

Good that you liked it
can you please guide how to create boot animation by my self
As promised, I will be releasing animations regularly. Here are links to each:
1. Draw-On Graffiti Style Animation (The original from this post)
2. Team EOS Silver 3D Text Animation (A <2mb Replacement Quick Render)
3. Team EOS New Logo Design Animation! A first look at our new logo! (Full Animation) [NEW 04/01/12]
Artists! Design your own styled EOS themed animations. We have a skilled community and I'm sure you guys could come up with some great ones! They should be no larger than 12mb (at the most) and be verified working. Post them to this thread and I will add them here. Who knows, yours may end up in a later release!
To replace the stock zip use a market app like BAC orrr:
(this assumes that you are running a rooted aosp-sourced build and understand how to manipulate the filesystem in r/w)
Make backups of your bootanimation.zip file(s):
Check both /data/local and /system/media
1. Rename the downloaded animation file to bootanimation.zip
2. Check /data/local and delete bootanimation.zip if it exists.
3. Enter /system/media, delete bootanimation.zip, and move the new zip into its place.
4. Reboot the system.
If it borks it will either revert back to the shiny android text sequence and boot fine
OR
loop endlessly (could look fine could look crazy distorted, no matter) and still boot fine...with the exception that nothing will work.
If this happens, connect to the adb shell as superuser, list processes, and kill the bootanimation process. Revert your animation, report it to the designer and live happily ever after.

I did the same thing and ran into the same problem. I had to reboot into recovery and restore a previous nandroid. The boot animation looked cool, just not sure what the issue is. I sat there for 5+ minutes looking at "for science!".
to be honest guys there's two things I changed - firstly, we're running our build of ICS. Secondly, I'm using jpegs to reduce size. Nothing else has changed, and to be honest I've had this animation as well as others act unpredictably and work sometimes and loop others after copying over the *exact* same animation. I will do more research also, and any trials and error data would be helpful.
Quick side question: are you guys who are having loops using titanium backup, using the setup initiated google backup/restore, and/or running a security app such as Webroot on your tablets?
Also, are you copying these manually or using an app and to which location?

I'm using root explorer to push the bootanimation.zip to data/local directory... I do have titanium backup, but I only use it for user apps, not system, and I'm not using the google backup service or any kind of security app... Hope you get this working soon, really like this bootanimation. and thanks for taking the time to look into it...
OK everyone, turns out I made a mistake with my finalized formatting that I use. Here is the link to a proper working boot animation with the proper format. I will also update the link in the first post.
I will also render an ICS stock animation in this format and get it out today.

For folks having problems installing this awesome animation ... here is a solution.
I used it with not problems and it backs up your original. Follow this thread.
If you find it to be helpful give thanks!

Oh, and for submitted animations, the specifications are:
-PNG or JPG Sequences
-704 x 440 size
-desc.txt should be 1408 880 24
also - the images must all have a border of deadspace static pixels.
You may use the template I posted here
..just make sure to half the rez and leave out the layers from the template

quick noob question
I have recently FLASHED your cyberdine terminator bootanimation (brought me back to my younger years) and it was awsome by the way, thanks for that mate..
My question is, how can i replace a flashed bootanimation with one of your latest awesomenesses..thanks again mate!
All good!!! My question is solved..thanks again for the wicked animations phokus..
Whoops, didn't see parameters.
So I reworked the default ICS bootanimation. I always found it really washed out and just seemed to me like a recording of the actual animation. So I decided to up the contrast and vibrance of it.
Here's the comparison video, you'll want to try and view it in 720p to notice the difference easily.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgGKqGLiPmk
I'll probably add gif previews soon.
To install, you'll want to move "bootanimation.zip" that you have downloaded to:
Code:
/system/media/
>Download<
Hey, if you like it, throw me a thanks
I love this animation and have used it as my most common boot animation since it was first leaked, however you're reworked versions doesn't seem to work on my Droid X2. Is the resolution too high for me to use it, maybe?
There was a problem with the zip compression that meant some devices couldn't get it working. It's been fixed now.
Works great now. Love the more vivid colors!!!
Contrast and vibrance really nice! Love it :thumbup:

There is a video of it here:

I haven't been able to find it, and I don't know what it's called / what version of CM its from.
@screwedbyexisten .. is this what you looking for ?
http://pc.cd/bzsctalK .. it's an app for CyanogenMod Theme Engine.. Try to extract the app and pull the bootanimation.zip from assets folder.
hope i can help
Yes - exactly, thank you!!! I was able to extract the boot animation and installed it successfully. Now I just need to mess with the desc.txt to remove the part where it says cm12.... haha. Or better yet, fix it so it says CM 13, but this would be pretty difficult to do (and make it look good) without the layered files that created it, at least from the part where it says 12 on the sphere. It would be fairly easy to fix the text on the black background.
It would also be nice if we could get it in 1080x1080 so its clearer
