British graphic designer Christian Tailor created this animation of stylized Marvel and DC Comics heroes and villains, and now you can use it as the boot animation on your Android device.
Christian works as a motion Graphic Designer specializing in information graphics, and his current clients include Al Jazeera and UK-based TV network ITV.
Graphic designer and Android theme maker Brian Roberts took Christian’s animation and turned it into a boot animation, originally.
I have resized it for the Nexus 6 (Shamu)

This is very cool. Great work!
Doesn't work....
This "mod" doesn't work. Nothing happens when I replaced this file with my stock one. In fact, I deleted this file, re-installed my stock one and now I don't even get the stock boot up screen. Nice.

I had the same problem. Just install the 'bootanimations' app from the play store by jrummy, locate the zip from inside the app, tap and hold, then click install and boom, you're done. Hope this helps.

Nothing. You just failed to set permissions properly to rw-r-r (644) for the file to work. Now you know so manual or not you can make it work.
Worked Like a CHAMP!!! Thanx

why cant we just install using astro or something like any other keyboard and turn it on and off in the input settings? why do we have to push and write over the stock one?
This is a V2 bug fix version. You dont want the stock version after using this trust me.
awesome!!!
this keyboard is great!!!!!
Worked great thanks,the only thing is that you have on your notes to flash the apk but that was not the way i got it to work,instead after moving the files from the zip like you said i also copied the apk file to system/apps rebooted then installed the apk file and it worked lik a charm,just an fyi.

This worked for me also.........nice looking board
I cannot get this to work for the life of me. granted I'm trying to do adb from memory and I havent used it in forever.
adb shell
mount
adb push
that's the order right? I just cant get it to work for the life of me.
the explorer built into froSHEDyo won't let me copy/move files to system
okay, i finally downloaded super manager (great app btw) and got the two files into the app/lib folders
then i try to install that apk, and it wont install!
so now I don't have keyboard... luckily i still had an apk of that thumb keyboard so I'm using that for now.
I'm gonna go try that flashable .zip :/...
Flashable zip works couldn't get this method to work

I have no clue how to pull things out of the source, or out of Cognition 3.02 for what I want. I'm looking for an APK for the Armani font. Anyone able to produce that or point me in the direction of where to download it? Thanks in advance!
Edit: apk removed
does this work on other phones like the streak?
ripped out the ttf files from the apk and they work like a charm on my dell streak... loving it.
I made a clockwork flashable ZIP so I could try this out on Serendipity; grabbed the fonts from dg's Cognition ROM, and they look great. Attached the ZIP if anybody wants it.

Weird; yeah, I got an installation aborted when I just tried to install it. I think it might be a bad upload...gonna try the version still on my computer. And maybe reupload the file.
Yeah, the ZIP on my computer got fudged up somewhere between my computer and XDA. Fixed it and tested it; installation via recovery should work fine now. ZIP is attached.
thanks for that, now Phoenix is a little more to my liking

Yeah, it just replaces the default font in the "system/fonts" folder, so any custom font APKs should still be usable.

Maybe I am blind but I cant see any difference...anyone has screenshot of how it looks?
I still use Times as I like it best but I want to see how this font looks like.
This is an APK I've had in my apps folder for quite sometime now. I don't remember where I got it or even if I made it my self, but it works like a charm. It appears as a new font in your font selection window so you can still use the default one if you don't like the Armani one. I like APKs way more than recovery .zips because you don't have to restart your phone to use them

For some reason it doesn't work on my WiFi Xoom, the screen just goes pitch black after the Motorola boot logo until I'm fully booted.
I looked at the PNGs within the .zip and it looks like a really nice boot animation, it just doesn't work on my Xoom for some reason. I've tried other custom boot animations and they've worked fine.

probably because it is .rar and not .zip?
It is also not working for me, unrared the zip then pushed to /data/local and it is a black screen when i boot up, wifi xoom

Probably not considering I extracted the rar, and moved the bootanimation.zip to /system/media. Not my first rodeo buddy.
huh...
thats weird... let me try something.
working now!
i reuploaded, downloaded and reflashed it. works on my wifi xoom. please try it again. sorry it was screwed up
let me know if its still giving you guys trouble.
Just downloaded and installed and all is well. Thanks a lot Verm!
For the newer folks that may be unsure how to install - download the bootanimation.zip and use Root Explorer (or equivalent) to move or copy/paste to /data/local.
After downloading, be sure that the file is labeled bootanimation.zip with no numerical characters or hyphens just before the .zip as it may not work. You can rename the file within Root Explorer by locating it and long press to select "Rename" and change back to bootanimation.zip.
Work like a charm, it looks beautiful on my Xoom. Thank you vermiciouskanid666!
Looks great! Thanks.
It's working great now, thanks! It looks really good, I'm definitely keeping this one for a while. Nice work.
I can finally link to outside images so i added a new preview and updated my post. everything is as it should be. Thanks again!

Bootanimation made from sample model hTC One X

I make a bootanimation sound...
android_sound.mp3
After download, rename android_audio.mp3.zip to android_audio.mp3
Looks profesh
Gnna give this a try
I've tried on my DHD with virtuous quattro beta 8, but it won't work, I get a black screen during bootanim...
Can someone help me? Thanks
Rename the zip to bootanimation.zip, this should work. It's not flashable btw, it has to be copy pasted (in AOSP the location is system/media I think..).
Thanks for the reply, but this what I've already done.
Rename to bootanimation.zip, put in system/media and replace the stock bootanim, change the permissions...
But still won't work...

ell, it says the zip is empty because it's not actually a zip file. That's mp3 file just called with .zip
You just need to erase ".zip" from its name and it will work

Hey, this is my first post and I know almost nothing about development but I am pretty fluent in After Effects.
I had the AOSPA ROM installed for a day or two and was not really happy with it. Except for the Bootanimation
That's why I decided to make a custom Bootanimation for my 6P (it is 1440 x 403 /30fps) and I thought I might share it with you guys.
Here is a gif of the animation itself:

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(This preview has my personal Logo in it at the end. There is a logo-free version avaitable as well. If you want your own Logo instead, contact me!
If you want to use it, you obviously need a rooted phone (or at least TWRP).
How to install in a Root File Explorer (e.g. Es File Explorer):
1. Download the Bootanimation.zip
2. Navigate to /system/media
3. Paste the Bootanimation.zip there and set permissions to rw- r-- r--
4. Reboot to see your new Bootanimation
If you got any Problem with moving the file and setting permissions in Andoid Nougat 7.0 follow the steps down below
How to install in a Custom Recovery:
1. Reboot into TWRP
2. Go to "Mount", Select "System" and go back
3. Select "Advanced" and "File Manager"
4. Navigate to the location of the "bootanimation.zip" you've downloaded, select it and press "Copy File" (You might find the Download folder in /sdcard)
5. Navigate to /system/media and press the "paste" (bottom right) button
6. Select the pasted "bootanimation.zip" and choose "chmod"
7. Type in "0644" to set the permissions to "rw- r-- r--", swipe to confirm
8. Select "Reboot System" to see your new Bootanimation
