"Red Rage" Boot Animation v0.5
YouTube - Red Rage Droid Boot Animation v0.3
Download: Here
Go here for a preview Preview
Download: Year Of The Droid
For terminator fans
Salvation.
So the BOOTS DON'T GET CROPPED OUT go into the desc.txt and change this
Code:
xxx xxx 210
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
to
Code:
320 480 210
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
so it resizes the boot to fit the eris screen.
NO ROOT NEEDED TO USE THESE!!!!
Just place them in your data/local folder with the following command
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
This is a small Batch file I made for a friend that later was modified so I could post it here.
This is for the people that aren't comfortable with command lines All you have to do is:
1) Unzip the contents of the zip below anywhere on your computer, adb files are included so you can unzip it anywhere and it will work.
2) Place your-kewl-kick-ass-boot-animation.zip in the PutYourBootHERE folder
3) Double Click on RunMe.bat
4) Then just follow the simple instructions.
This should work on all windows systems ( I think =P)
I added the ability to flash FONTS, with 21 included fonts and previews!!!
So have fun!
Download for BATCH FILE Here.
I tested these on Eris just change the code above so it works perfectly on the eris.
I have backups of all these if one gets taken down let me know so I can get it fixed as soon as possible.
I will be adding to it as I find them...so keep a look out !
Is there a way to install directly from phone without a computer with the sdk on it? I am away from my pc atm but would like to test out some of these if possible granted I do not have root so not sure if there is any kind of terminal app or anything like that.
Yea I don't know any way of doing it directly from your phone without root. Because If you have root you can just use root explorer or the terminal.
Here's one I made for myself. Sorry no preview but I attached a couple thumbnails. It is girly pink. starts with the skateboarding droids, then htc quietly brilliant then my animation.

I'd say use a file manager and copy the file to the appropriate directory after downloading to your phone.
No guarantees but it should work.
This is what I was thinking but not quite sure where the Data/local/ folder is I see a data folder but it is empty I havent been able to find yet if its visible. I really wish I waited on upgraded rooted my wifes phone last night so jealous now thinking about using JCases method of obtaining a fresh eris on 1.5

What do you use to do this?
Is there a certain program you use to do this? I am just learning this.

Cool. Will it say Eris when loaded on the Eris or is that just a generic n1 boot?
Sent from my Froyo Eris
I dont remember exactly what it says but it doesnt say Nexus one it says every detail about our phone its quite cool
Awesome, I'm on it! Thanks
Sent from my Froyo Eris
Badass.
I tried putting this in my ROM, didn't work. All I get is a black/blank boot. I am going to try a few things to get it working.
It worked on my eris with plain jane. Actually on boot it says htc hero.
Its not actually reading phone info, its just an animated Gif image. Which ever one you download it'll display whatever info is put into it, usually based on different devices. There isn't one for the Eris yet, but the hero has the screen dimensions. That's why it works.
Sent from my Eris using XDA App
anyone getting luck with KaosFroyo and this boot? Love the classic look. Also is there any posts for getting the standard boot animation back? Just in case I go ***** at Verizon one day
I've never had any problems with boot screens on KaosFroyo.
put bootanimation.zip in your tools folder.
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
to check to see if it worked
adb shell bootanimation
use ctrl^C to end

don't know why it wouldn't run your boot animation. Use root explorer to look in your system/media folder and make sure you've got bootanimation.zip in the folder (and only one copy of it).
From looking around xda forums, I've seen comments about boot animation in data/local but I've always placed mine in system/media when I've used kaosfroyo or any other froyo based rom.
I really like this a lot.
So much so that I have been working on modifying it for the eris.
Does anyone know any specifics of what the png files need to be?
I created mine in photoshop 7, saved each one as png files and named them in numerical order, but I just get a blank black screen. (I also made sure they were 320x480)
Do they have to be a certain color depth?
no clue, but i want one updated for my eris in the worst way. also, maybe make the font a tad bigger so it's easier to read? idk if this is possible without having the text cut off or wrap or something...but i'm willing to help if there's anything i can do.
eris animation
I figured out what the problem was... I wasn't saving the zip correctly
You have to create a zip with no compression ("store" in 7zip)
If you want to make your own changes, I have attached the psd file I used in addition to the bootanimation.zip (which is ready to be uploaded to your eris)
My photoshop skills suck so don't laugh too hard.
Also note that the animated gif below only shows the part that I modified, but the bootanimation.zip contains the full sequence.
Hmm seems like I'll have to modify it to show V27. Other then that great work!
For anyone on KaosFroyo heres the fixed Bios boostscreen for ya.
It can be found in this topic. Big kudos to sobsmb for taking the time to fix it.
I posted this over in the Vibrant forum, but wanted to share it with all of you. I have one other that I posted there that I'm redoing to include a shutdown animation as well. Let me know what you all think of this!
The zip is flashable through CWM on at least galaxy s phones and a mt4g, so I imagine it works on others, too.
Credit to jlbmgrnr for collaboration on the idea and packaging it.
- Standard disclaimer about me not being responsible for phones getting messed up goes here -
file: dancing-boot-anim.zip is just the dancing, without the fake apple bootscreen.
file: bootanim-dancing-edify.zip is flashable with CWM3

I love the vaudeville green man. Can you put up a version without the -unqualifiable- apple?
In 2011, it's not as if we still have fight to get the green man a seat at the table.
awesome boot animation man. already installed it to my HTC Desire HD. good thing it's 480-800 resolution by default. i thought i would spice it up by adding my own custom sound mp3 to go along with it. sound file link at the bottom of this post.for those with a DHD you can push the files through AndroidSDK adb with the following commands. for this instance i am using the rom LeeDROID 2.2.2. connect your dhd to your computer and make sure it is set to charge only and make sure debugging is set to on.
first download vaderville-boot-anim.zip and extract the contents to a folder on your computer. first go to system folder and then media folder and find the bootanimation.zip file. copy and paste the bootanimation.zip into the same folder where your adb.exe is located which is usually program files\android\android-sdk\platform-tools\. open up adb through your cmd prompt and execute the following commands to load the new boot animation.
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
also extract and put the android_audio.mp3 file into the same folder as adb so type:
adb push android_audio.mp3 /data/local
now we test everything out by rebooting
adb reboot
if everything goes well, your dhd will reboot and play the awesome boot animation along with the "new york, new york" song by frank sinatra minus the voice. this tutorial can be applied to any android phone provided you know where your rom stores it's boot animation file and sound file.
thermanlee maybe you can ask jlbmgrnr to add this sound file to the package so it can be flashed through cwm. in the bootanimation.zip you can open up the desc.txt and change the resolution to fit your android phone and then save and flash it. enjoy
Awesome
Can has MDPI version pweez?
nice!!! good work mate...

It may not, and I didn't even think about that. I'll look around tonight and see what I need to set up differently for CWM 3, and I'll repackage it if I find any info.

(Same deal as before. I imagine thermanlee will want to pop this into post #1.)
This has been floating aroung for a couple of years now so I take no credit for the original idea.
UPDATE: I have redone the boot animation to see if this will work for those having issues with the original. Please give this one a try.
I simply edited all of the images to match the specs of the Thunderbolt.
When booting it has a sound of a hard drive starting up with beeps like an old PC.
This file greatly speeds up the boot proccess of the Thunderbolt as well!
The original file is about 3meg, this file is just over 1meg.

The attached zip file is not a flashable zip, it contains the boot animation.zip and the mp3 sound file. Open the zip file and copy the bootanimation.zip and the FinalThunder.mp3 to your computer so that you can copy them to your phone.
Depending on the ROM you are using place the 2 files in the following directory on your phone. If you are unsure, just look in the directory and if it has bootanimation.zip and FinalThunder.mp3 then you are in the right place.
You may have to set permissions on both files to rw-r--r--
(You could also use adb to push the files to your phone if you would rather)
If you think you may want to revert, copy the originals somewhere on your SD Card first.
Stock ROM (and probably most custom ROMs:
/system/customize/resource/
For Adynalyne's DeBloat ROM:
/system/media/

Edit: for the stock ROM. Sorry, should've specified.
It's not working for me I put the bootanimation.zip on the sd card and put it in the right folder (I have changed boot-animations before successfully) but it just gives me my splash page and then a black screen until the boot finishes.
*edit* I guess it's because I've got the VirusROM on... Darn...
Same results here, but in all fairness, I'm on virusrom, and I'm not sure what's up with that. I'll keep looking.

it only work for a reboot or hard rest with mine. If i power off and power back on with fast boot enabled it just goes to the blasck htc screen and stays on that till it turns on...help?
You guys with ROMs that it's not working on, is the file named bootanimation.zip?
And are you setting permissions? I'm not really sure that makes any difference but who knows.

If you can find a download of it you can always resize the .png's to fit the hero screen size
The download is in mine post, tried to but didn't work.... Meby HTC HERO is completly different then the EVO ?
Yeah the screen size is different, hence why you'll need to resize all the .png files

What's the problem, black screen?
If it's an animation, how have you packed the zip file?
The "bootanimation.zip" needs to be "STORED",
The flashable zip (if you put it in one), can be compressed.
You also need to make sure you dont have a "thumbs.db" in with Your images too!!
If it's a .gif make sure it's NOT optimised or you'll get a black screen also.
Hope this helps

adb push C:\bootanimation.zip /system/media/

Your welcome, we all have to start somewhere.
I'm still a noob myself but have made plenty of bootscreens so have a fair idea.
Looking at the rom your using, the boot-animation should pushed/flashed to system/media in a .gif format as it's an eclair (2.1) based rom.
I'll download the boot-animation now and report back shortly.
Edit: the reason your were failing is because you were trying to push a png animation instead of a gif animation. I've turned the images into a gif and changed the evo information on the images to say hero instead.

I'm running floyo(2.2) at the minute so i cant test it, heres a zip file to flash. If the flash fails it probably needs re-signing(my sign tool is broken atm), so you can either re-sign it, adb push or copy and paste it with root explorer or something.
hope this helps.

hope this helps.

You are the man!!!! I real, REAL appreciate this, will try this NOW!
YES! it's working! wwwweeeeehhiiieee!!!!
thanks man! But it keeps looping it's but that isn't a big deal it's a little weird. Can't you make the animation like 60 seconds(that's how long it takes for the boot screen to go away)
Glad it works.
i know why its looping, i put the gif into an old bootscreen zip, its using the instructions from that, ill sort when i get a chance.

I was finally able to create my very first custom boot animation for my HTC Thunderbolt.

I tried installing but it keeps saying install aborted. I rebooted in recovery and installed zip from card. I left the file as bootanimation.zip because I know it had to be that to install to the device but for some reason when I go to install it it keeps aborting my install on the thunderbolt. Any help would be great.

... You don't flash it. You either adb push the file or use a root explorer.
i just tried the root explorer and it still is bring up the das bamf boot animation screen hmmmmm

Yeah, as idkwhothatis123 said, simply replace your current bootanimation.zip with this one.
I used Supermanager to copy the old one from the \system\media folder to my SD Card and then put this one, which was on my SD Card into that folder. Reboot and it should work fine.
I hope that helps.
that worked thank you.

If you're referring to the splash screen, that's a different process. If that's what you're talking about, I can explain that when I get off work.

I'm not entirely sure. I would assume if you had the same dimensions (480x800) then it should work. But, do a quick Google search to see.

Any help will be great. Yeah the only thing i get is the final screen. I don't have the apple logo or the android coming in and flicking the apple away. All that shows up is the final part of the animation.
Ok, so I just downloaded the file I have up and I see what you guys are taking about. I will upload a new file a little later. I'm currently at Kings Island. The thing I don't get is when I extracted the bootanimation.zip on my phone, all the files were in the zip and desc.txt were all correct. So, I will look at it when i get home. Not entirely sure what happened.

Sorry about that guys. I tested this one again after I re-zipped the bootanimation. Any other problems, please let me know.
I hope you guys enjoy this.
HA. This is cool, you should give some thought on adding some sounds to it. Hinds73 has a tutorial on it that works perfect.

Tried installing this with Root Explorer as I did with my Evo. Rename the current bootanimation.zip to oldbootanimation.zip and put this zip in system-customize-resource folder where these zips are deposited. Rebooted my phone, and its still the MikRoms animation from the Gingeritis rom im running. For the hell of it I wiped my cache partition and my Delvik..no go

I would go through the process again. I had this happen to me before, but it was because I forgot a step. Lol. The little things are sometimes the most irritating. You might try total commander, and make sure you have r/w permissions.

yeah im going to give it another shot..But with Root Explorer if you dont have the proper permissions it wont even let you move files so I know I got that part right lol..Ill have to look up this total commander you mentioned. I remember having a small issue awhile back with RE and Estrongs and permissions (1 let me move things while the other didnt..and both were set to r/w not read only)
worked for me, looks awesome!! gonna show this off to a friend of mine with an iphone tomorrow haha
Installing it right now with the custom splash screen picture
Let's see how this works.
I'll show this to all my iPhone friends, haha.
Thanks for your work!
EDIT:
I got a suggestion if you'd read it
Maybe make the text appear a bit slower like the system is 'really' computing?
I notice it just jumps up rapidly and clog the screen so quick.
I understand the whole text stays there for a while so you can read it, but I think the 'coolness' factor is lessened because the text appears and scrolls up so fast.
Just a suggestion
