Thanks to: frysee
Hey Everyone,
Just saw this in another thread:

Took the file and put it on the root of my SD card, booted up to recovery and flashed it.
Enjoy!

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

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.

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

sorry i forgot to include the remount line first.
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
(you'll see some information about file sized pushed if it worked)
adb shell bootanimation
(to check install)
ctrl^C
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.

Custom Boot Animation

Has anyone tried yet? If so would appreciate a tutorial. I would love to be able to create my own or a the very least get rid of the Verizon Animation. Thanks.
Howto on its way.
It's very simply. Here's an example to have a Nexus bootscreen.
Delete the file: /system/media/bootanimation.zip
Make a folder called: /system/media/bootscreen/
Unzip these files into there: http://www.sendspace.com/file/0qwx4v
You can open up the xml file and see how to customize it in there, or just replace the nexus .gif files with your own.

GrdLock, Thank you very much.
Also want to thank all the devs for all their hard work. I know we all do this during our free time as a hobby. And i'm sure i'm like most when i say my free time is very important to me and a lot of the times a rarity. So i truly appreciate everyone's hard work and time put into this.
Also this might be a stupid question (sorry if it is). In order to delete and create those folders... What program do i need to use? I'm assuming SDK? If so what are the commands?
Thanks for any help, i'm trying to learn as i go with this.
Sweet. I can wait to do this once I get root. Im tired of seeing the verizon animation.
You can change this without root just follow the guide here.

If anyone wants it. Here's the default HTC Boot animation from 1.5.
The only thing i did was resize it to 320X480.

What do you mean to fit 2.1?

If thats what you mean, just want to let you know you can use wayyyyyyy, more than that, I have out that is 250+ pngs and it runs fine.

Hey guys, first time poster, been keeping up to date with everything but I happened to be one of the unlucky ones who installed the leak 2.1 before root..."doh!"
Anyway I have this custom boot animation that I found a while back, but every time I try to re-size it and edit the desc.txt and reload it to /data/local/ it shows nothing for a boot image.
Any ideas?
I stand corrected.

So the BOOTS DON'T GET CROPPED OUT go into the desc.txt and change this
Code:

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

[BOOT ANIMATION] Vaudeville Android - with Preview

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
*Preview*

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...
Awesome! One of the things we were going to do is add sound, but we weren't sure how. Thanks for the heads up. I'll let him know if he hasn't already read this.

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.

UPDATE 3/27 Thunderbolt Bios Boot Animation with sound

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:

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.

I'm stumped as to why people at having issues.
As far as Virus ROM, I haven't tried it so I'm not sure what that might be.
All I get is a black HTC screen, no BIOS.
Nicely done!

Anyone knows this????
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
Like I sad, I already resized all the .png files, but this didn't work

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
I've tried both
adb push C:\bootanimation.zip /system/media/
and
adb push C:\bootanimation.zip system/customize/resource/
and they are in there, but still standard anim
I've attached my modified file for you gkillerx just in case you didn't change the screen sizes part of desc.txt
Argh phone just crashed.... Reflashing as we speak, will report back later.
Just flashed it and not working it's just not working to bad
What's the problem?? In order to help and trouble shoot you'll have post details about the problem.
What rom are you using, where is the file being located, are you getting a white screen, black screen, it boots but is distorted, kicked your dog and stole your car??
Any info will help.
I use:

That ROM version
I flashed it using clockwordmod 2.5.0.7. Placed the ZIP on the SD card (root of the SD card) and flashed it.
the reboot and still getting the normal boot screen.... So no error but also no new boot screen
and my dog drove the car in to the bush.... hehehe
Post up the zip file you have and i'll take a look at it, it's more than likely something simple.
Thanks that you are willing to help me!

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.

Ah I wasn't aware it had to be gif, I'm so used to fannying around with my Galaxy S I assumed it would be .png
I'll give it a try when the sprog has gone to bed, it's not really my cup of tea, but I'm using my hero to experiment with stuff

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.
