Sorry if this has been known, but I have had this phone for a few days and can't quit tinkering...
I thought the startup boot animation was awesome, with the world spinning around.
I am a die hard OSU Buckeye fan and was very irritated my next boot showed the Moto "M" surrounded by blue and gold threads ( michigan u colors)...
I tried several times to replace it, but no other file would stick...
After some digging found that you need to manually remove the bootanimation.zip located in data/local/moodle.
Then you can replace the bootanimation.zip in system/media.
If you do not replace the bootanimation and just remove the first one, you will have the initial start-up boot animation!
Pretty cool !
Go Bucks!
Great!

weeks ago someone post a splash screen that was a at&t logo looking like star wars death star. I search but found nothing if somebody can help me will be appreciated
I couldn't find one either, so I just slapped this one together...
thanks great splash screen
That would be a cool startup screen - if you make it I sure would like to have it.
Right on, thanks. Glad you guys like it.
Yeah, I'd like to make that my startup screen too... =P
I made it and then realized I didn't know how to change the splash screen. Ahh well. I'm sure the instructions are on the board somewhere!
In the mean time, I decided to make a background based on this graphic...
It actually works out pretty well with the black theme and HTC Home.
Nice Graphic, Here's it converted into a usable splash screen. It needs to be 320x320 24bit PNG file. Unzip it and copy it into your phone's windows folder.
You may need to use something like resco file explorer to change the original splash graphic (welcomehead96.png) to remove the read-only attribute so you can copy the new one in.
Have fun.
P.S. This is the "2nd" splash screen and comes up after the ROM splash.
Here's an updated version with the starfield background...

Oops... Just saw your post.
Hmmm.. Not sure I can do that with paint.NET, which is all I have installed on this box at the moment. It looks like it can save PNG files, but I have no idea if that's 24bit or what.
Here you go..
could you be talking about this one???

Hello, is it possible to implement "HTC quietly brilliant" to the standard HTC bootscreen ?
Are the standard bootscreen connected together? (I mean HERO + HTC animations ) or two GIF's side by side?

I'll try to do it alone

they are two single gifs. look in /system/media/bootscreen.
Would be really good if we can apply this, its a really nice bootscreen im bored of the Hero one
i don't think you can use it as a splashscreen. the splashscreen is the very first screen to appear, usually your operator's logo (or the operator who sold the phone, i.e. t-mobile for me). this is a static picture, and can be updated since paul released the hacked spl.
the bootscreen is by default the two androids popping up behind the "hero", and then the sparkling htc logo. this can be replaced. give me two minutes, i'll make you an update.zip...
edit: no luck, the gif somehow doesn't work as a bootscreen. if you could find it in / change it to 320x480 it might work though.
Thanks for having ago, i really dunno where to start with all of this, have you tried changin the size? i dont have a carrier animation as i have MoDaCos rom.

hm, you don't get it. the carrier logo is not animated. it is shown for 40-45 seconds as the first picture when the phone is started. maybe it is the htc's stock picture, the hero writing. it just sits there, then quickly fades out and back in, and then the little androids come out. the moment where it fades is when the splashscreen is changed to the bootscreen. in this case they are just the same picture, except the bootscreen being animated.
the splashscreen can only be a static image.
the bootscreen can be up (or more?) three animated gifs, fullscreen or cropped with another (probably static, didn't test animated) gif for the background. you can loop the last image or just let it sit at the last frame. look into /system/media/bootscreen, and check the contents of the boot_animation.xml, it is pretty self-explainatory.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=582336&highlight=bootscreen
have a look into the stock_bootscreen_nosound.zip, it is the original stock htc bootscreen (not splashscreen!). the bootscreen can be applied via update.zip or adb push, the splashscreen must be written in fastboot mode as it is kind of a "low-level" image presentation. this is also the reason why the image must be rgb565-coded before flashing. on modaco there is a howto for the splashscreen, which needs the modified hboot (also called spl) for the hero just released by paul.
this should do it, hope this helps
edit: i tried changing the size, but somehow the gif looks wired when i open it with gimp, it seems to destroy all the animation timing... should be possible though.
Thanks for explaining all that, GIFs are tricky but very effective, i dont really have time to look into all that u described, but thanks for having a go. I just hope someone that may have more experience with the hero may do it. I dont know where to find a file explorer for the hero on windows.
Thanks
Here ya go. But for some odd reason, it doesn't show up correctly. Dunno why. I just made it into an animated gif with the right size.
tristan it works what you made?
Not exactly. It works fine on the pc, but when put on the phone it flickers. I don't have the knowhow to get it to work, but I thought that if I uploaded the gif, soeone with the wits could fix it.
I am having the same issue, tristan202. I edited and moved the tattoo boot animation ( HERE ) but when flashed to the phone, it gets garbled and looks weird.
I made the animation in Flash CS4.
Anybody know the solution to this?
i wanna usee it hoepfully somebody can make it work
can't delete bootlogo :[
when making the nexus bootscreen i found out that the gif needs to be 255 color indexed mode. 128 colors won't work, for example. what seems to work is to use rgb files, throw them together in gimp, and let it do the indexing automatically when exporting. source material needs to be rgb (at least the first image), otherwise the result will be using the palette of the first image, which will make the rest of the frames look like crap.
Boot Animation with Sounds
An all inclusive zip, one zip for all your pirate-y needs!
Boot Animation with Sounds
Boot Animation
Boot Animation Preview (real animation looks much cleaner)
Download Boot Animation (seperate)
Just made a boot screen, wanted it simple, so just a spinning wheel.
Start and Shutdown Sounds
The start sound is Guybrush saying:
Boot Sound
"One thing I've learned the hard way over the years is that you should never pull a monkey out of your pocket until the most dramatically useful moment!"
The shutdown is Guybrush saying:
Shutdown Sound
"You know, I hear that nine times out of ten: the first place you bury your treasure is the spot it where it will most likely be found!"
If you want the sounds seperate, they are included in the zips below. The 0.1.0 is just the quotes, the 0.2.0 is the quotes with music just like the previews.
All you have to do is throw it on your SD Card, then go to Clockwork Recovery, choose zip to install, and viola! Guybrush greets you everytime you start your phone!
All props go to leatherneck6017 for the sound zip, I just edited his zip and put Monkey Island sounds in it.

[EDITS]
Now with an all inclusive zip, one zip for all your pirate-y needs!
Added a separate Boot screen zip! Obviously looks better than the preview gif, hah.
Added the chapter select music in the background and preview links! Download the MIBSSounds0.2.0!
Or 0.1.0 if you want it without the chapter music and just the quotes.
Added the chapter select music to the boot, and made dropbox previews! Let me know what you think.
I tested them several times and no problems. Also if anyone is interested in helping me compile it together with a boot animation I'll start working on an animation!
Good stuff!

Just made a custom boot screen! Wanted it simple, but looking like Monkey Island. All props to Steve Purcell for his awesome Monkey Island Art!
I may work on multiple boot screens if people are interested.
that's nice!
download links don't work anymore though
attached - one i made from the preview gif...
Not sure what prompted me to spend a day making this and, if it's not painfully obvious, I relied on PowerPoint and Paint for most of this. Since it's finished, though, I decided to share. Hope someone enjoys rocking it on their TB as much as I do.
Also, added a .gif of the sequence down below. Timing is off and quality is poor in the .gif, but the bootanimation.zip contains all .png's. The .gif is of the White version. My OCD noticed a little ring of light color around the Droid in the Black version, so I went back in with Gimp and made a White version and am uploading both.
Note: I didn't add a sound for it. I prefer to not have a boot sound, but if someone finds/mixes one appropriate, I'm game to try it.

Okay,
I was fiddling around with boot animations on my sensation an made a sweet one that i like from a couple of youtube vids all credit goes to them ie korea android ad and i think a fellow in a design class made the other one (look below i have attached) but when i tried to do the same for my xoom i got stuck in the boot animation where it kept recylcing the boot and never actually booted into the rom... to say the least i had to do a nandroid to get back just from a boot animation which kinda sucks... anyway ill lay out the specifics
1. I used jpgs, same as with my sensation they seem to work just as well as .pngs but keep the zip much much smaller and dont look choppy
2. I use the original boot animation from the tiamat 2.2.2 version as my base zip file which i edited with my pictures
3. I used the actually spec'd dimensions of the xoom of 1280 x 800 for the pictures, however i noticed that the boot from tiamat used 704 x 440 maybe that could be it (i will be trying that now and report back)
4. as my boot time took a while i thought i may try to use 900 images (a bit dumb i know, in my sensation i use 400 and it gets through them nicely, each pic is a pretty quick segment tho) (i will edit the same amount as my sensation and try again)
can anyone shed some light onto why mine may not have worked other than the amount of pics..
here is a youtube link for what i actually made
boot
i tried to just change the resolution to 704 x 440... and i deleted half the images... and tried again... again it kept replaying and never actually booted into the rom so again i am nandroiding lol
You will need to edit your desc.txt file
1408 880 24
p 0 0 part 0
put all your pictures in folder named part0.
Then zip folder using 7zip and make sure you choose store as compression method.
Hope this helps.
i have done that but used done3 as my folder name.. as i said i used the tiamat moray boot animation as my base zip =]
the name of the folder inside the zip shouldn't make a difference especially as i got it to play but it keeps playing and playing a small bit and not the whole file nor booting into the rom...
on all my bootanimations, it helps if you make each image 960 x 600.
then on your desc.txt file, make the screen size 1280 x 800 (the correct size for the xoom).
sometimes if there is an extra pixel hanging off it could cause you to blackscreen or bootloop.
also, sometimes you'll get a bad jpg file, that could also cause the black screen or bootloop.
best suggestion would be to get the desc.txt file from a known working bootanimation and just adjust the frame rate. be sure to hit enter for a new line after you have put in the info for the last part folder.
oh, and a little trick i found. use the bootanimation installer to push the bootanimation, then restart the xoom and be sure to close the bootanimation installer.
leave your xoom connected to your pc. if you do get into a bootloop, wait a few minutes for it to loop then just reopen the bootanimation installer and push a known working bootanimation. after a few seconds the new bootanimation (or default one) should show and should boot normally. this is my procedure.

Sweet ill try that.. I tried 3 dimension sizes the true size, and 2 dimensions i got from boot animations with the roms.. I reduced the number of jpgs..
One last thing what setting do u choose for your jpg in photoshop? Or do u jyst use pngs.. I can use setting of 6 medium sized compression for me sensation even tho it works for my phone that may be affecting the xoom

doesnt really matter the file size. we've made bootanimations with upwards of 7 parts and 200+ mb.
i would say try it first with pngs and if it works then convert to jpgs. i use a file sizing program to make sure of the picture ratio, it gets rid of any of those hanging pixels.

Well considering i set canvas size with photoshop that constricts pixel dimensions quiet well but ill take ya advice and try that and i might split it up too
Sent from my mind control device
also remember that there is a file number limit per part (folder).
looks good
Success it would seem.. Jpgs are fine.. I think i have found the upper limit of pictures no matter the amount of folders.. The 130 per folder helped.. Will update when i get home from work
