HD Galaxy Nexus Boot Animation (Full-screen) - Galaxy Tab 2 Themes and Apps

Hey guys!
I tried to find a nice working HD version of the stock Galaxy Nexus boot animation, but I couldn't find any for our Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. I found ones that people had for the Kindle Fire, but those were 640x360 pictures and looked grainy to me on the WSVGA 1024x600 screen. I eventually found a nice high-res 1280x720 version of the animation but when I tried that on the GT2, it just couldn't handle the scaling and froze. Therefore I decided to make my own. I took those and made each picture a native size for the screen (came out to 1024x576) and I have to say, it looks nice. After some personal trial and error, I settled on 21 frames per second, as it seem neither too fast or too slow (but you are free to change it if you choose).
Here it is to share, I hope you enjoy!

how install ?

You need a rooted phone, then with root permission you have to copy this file inside the folder /system/media

Don't unzip the file. Drop the bootanimation.zip file as is in the system/media folder and you are all set. You'll need your phone to be rooted because you have to make sure to make the system/media file rewritable instead of read-only (I personally use Root Explorer, you can find it in the store).

Just installed it, rebooted, and it seems to freeze up two or three times before it boots.

Don't work!

[Tutorial] Custom Boot Animation

This tutorial will explain how to make a custom boot animation for your droid eris by replacing the stock verizon wireless animation.
Notes:
- We will be working with .png files so be prepared to convert a video-animation to a series of pngs.
- There are other stock animations such as the HTC one and it may be possible to add another animation onto the end of the verizon wireless one.
1) Create a video animation of 320x480 resolution in Adobe After Effects, another video animating software, or create a series of images for your animation.
2) Convert that video into a series of .png files with the names: 00.png 01.png ... etc ... to 25.png (I have not attempted to use more or less than 25 png files, it may or may not work)
3) Extract the stock bootanimation.zip (provided below) into a working directory, with the following file structure...
- /bootanimation
---- /android -> should contain (00.png -> 03.png) "HTC"
---- /last -> should contain (01.png -> 02.png)
---- /vzw -> should contain (00.png -> 25.png)
---- desc.txt
4) Copy and replace the png files in the vzw folder with the pngs you just created.
5) Choose 2 .png files to be shown after your animation has completed and copy them into your /last directory replacing 01.png and 02.png.
5) Create a new zip file with the folders and desc.txt at root. Make sure to use the Store as the compression method when creating a new zip file. See picture attached to this post.
6) Use adb to send your file to /system/media/bootanimation.zip on your phone.
7) Reboot, and enjoy your fresh boot animation.
I have included my bootanimation.zip as an example. Heres a video of mine:

Really?...
I thought you needed it to mount the system to RW and you can't do this until you have Root?
Also anyone willing to convert this animation from the G1 over to the eris? I really don't know anything about Photoshop or anything like that so I would really appreciate if you would convert these two animations for the eris if its possible.

How? Don't you need ROOT Acess to gain those folders
You need root to copy the zip here: /system/media/bootanimation.zip
but you dont need root to copy it here: /data/local/bootanimation.zip
Do the same steps but change the zip location and it will work.
What if the boot is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY longer than 25?? What do I do

Yea I can vouch that it works I have one that is 250+ and it works fine.
just a tip to help avoid hours of pulling your hair out..not that i did this or anything
zip up the folders within bootanimation folder, not the bootanimation folder and the folders. If you do, you end up with another directory and it won't load.
Please elp me with desc.txt

I see you guys are having good luck loading boot animations and I imagine your are not running as choppy as mine. all I did was replace the .png files from the example_bootanimation, and mine looks like crap. Can someone tell me what you used in your desc.txt file?
THanks

When using "adb shell" I can see the local dir. I didnt create it. It was already there.

[BOOT ANIMATION]The Screaming Droid! Now With Sound!!! (Updated 3/13/11)

UPDATE:
First I want to thank every one, I also want to give a shout out to
Mrdaviso for making the sound possible on cm7, please give him thanks for his thread on this. I've been waiting to have sound for the animation for sooo long and now it finally works and thanks to him.
I stripped all the text out of the animation except for the android logo and the preview below is exactly what it is, he screams and then stares at you and blinks until your phone boots.
The scream I choose is one I thought was appropriate... the original Godzilla roar! But if you really want, and I honestly would love to see more sound files made, please offer others. You can use mine as a template for syncing with the animation. I love to see others post sounds for this!
Heres the d/l link hope you guys like this.This zip file contains the bootanimation.zip, android_audio.mp3 (godzilla) and the bootsnd.sh (to setup sound playing on phone bootup)
Installation of the new un-branded versions with sound!!! PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:
First how to setup boot animation sound on cm (link to the op):
To install boot animation:
1. just unzip the screaming_android_with_sound.zip file on the root of your sdcard
2. copy the bootanimation.zip file to the system/media folder replacing the old one or renaming the old one and copying this one over if your just testing.
3. Android wins again!
Changing the ResolutionThe resolution for the animation is 480X800 if you'd like a different size:
1. copy the bootanimation.zip file to your computer.
2. open the zip and edit the desc.txt 's second line (480 800 not the 25 read below) to match your phones resolution.
3. save the file and close the zip program
4. you shouldn't need to unzip the bootanimation.zip file to do the above
5. if you do need/want to unzip it when rezipping make sure the compression level your zipping it on is "store" or it won't work.
Sound doesnt seem to match up?... change to animation speed in the desc.txt file:
1. copy the bootanimation.zip file to your computer.
2. open the zip and edit the desc.txt 's second line (only the 25 not the first 2 numbers) to speed it up or slow it down.
3. save the file and close the zip program
4. you shouldn't need to unzip the bootanimation.zip file to do the above
5. if you do need/want to unzip it when rezipping make sure the compression level your zipping it on is "store" or it won't work.
NOTES:
want a different sound on the animation... the sound file has to be called android_audio.mp3 for it to play, this file will play for any new bootanimation you install unless you remove the android_audio.mp3 file and it has to be an mp3.
Programs to help... if you don't have root explorer get "Super Manager" from the market it does r/w and root privileged file exploring (and more) just like root explorer and its free.
I'm only giving this out in zip file format, I'm not doing a flashable as its to hard to keep up with all the different roms and resolutions. I provide instruction on how to change the resolution of the animation to fit your phone.

Yeah I'll try and post the bigger one tomorrow. I should since I actually have an Evo myself.
Looks good except the text which says Android 2.2

Really would like the larger version. The smaller one you posted I initially doesn't play at all on my X.
Btw, for those with Droid X's and other newer phones running FroYo, bootanimation.zip goes in /data/local as primary. It only pulls from /system/media if nothing is in /data/local
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Any word on this for wvga devices like the EVO or Droid X? I'd really like this unbranded, but the current unbranded version just appears as black on my phone.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I honestly don't have the time to do it... maybe in the next couple of days.
i tried to change the size for 480x800
but it doesn't work..
how can i do for a full screen on my galaxy s?
is wqvga (240x400) is supported?
Any chance of the unbranded screaming droid formatted for the HTC EVO Shift 4G which I believe is 480x800?
I will try and trim this on the top and bottum to remove everything but the droid... I just don't have the time to do much more on this, but I will try and finish this off, just wish I hadn't put that on there.

Swf animated o2x logo

Extracted LG Optimus 2X logo from SU660 presentation.
http://www.optimus2x.net/index.php?topic=452.0
It's from a presentation. If one can extract the stills from this it should be possible to craft a live wallpaper or even a boot animation
Might be good to link direclty instead of to a site where you have to register to see anything
I extracted to png files and threw together this bootanimation.zip following this guide:
http://forum.sdx-developers.com/themes/(how-to)-creating-a-bootanimation-zip/
If anyone is brave enough he can try it out.
ATTENTION: I DO NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR PROBLEMS THAT MAY OCCUR WHEN YOU INSTALL THIS
I TRIED TO BE AS COMPLIANT AS POSSIBLE WITH THE GUIDE, BUT THAT DOES NOT GUARANTEE IT IS WORKING CORRECTLY
If I just knew how to put this on my phone .
But I would also like to get that animated Tegra2 just for the kick of it.

heard that too, but there seems to be some restriction, because this doesn't work always. Yesterday I read animations located on this position are limited to 15 FPS, but I don't know what to make of it.
If you place it at system/media it will definately be used (given it has the right format of course)
But at the risk of the phone "breaking" . But is there no other way then Root Explorer, cause im not really interested in having to pay for it from market.

Of course there's a risk.
you can also push it with adb after elevating your terminal with su. You should, however, rename your original bootanimation.zip to something like bootanimation.bak so you can restore in case it fails.
I have to say this once again, this animation was crafted according to the guides available, but I haven't got my android yet to test if it is working properly. I might upload a 15 FPS version on monday, so one can push it to data/local and see if it works.
I will give your bootanimation a whirl when I get home from work and post the results. And I am looking for an animation version of the Tegra Logo and hoping I will find it.
Cause that will make for a nice animated boot logo rather then the dull LG one.
Not much luck with finding an animated Tegra2 one sadly . I just thought I saw one at some point
I put aMpeX bootanimation.zip in data/local and it works very well for me.
I just edit the fps from 24 to 30 for more smoothness

Thats odd, I never actually set it to 24 fps ^^ it was 30 fps all along, at least according to my desc file
I'm very glad it works though
I'll update the animation on monday, I changed it to not looping the entire animation, but only the "shimmering" part in the end.
How do i get it to my phone via adb?
Becaues all the commands I try either ask for more arguemnts or just reports access denied >_<
Maybe post some more animation
Could anyone help with the commands?
I'm not sure, but try this:
copy the bootanimation.zip in the same folder as your adb application, then try
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/bootanimation.zip

That's the restriction for data/local (if you have an animation of 15 or less) you can put it in data/local and it will override the one in system/media any other need to be put in system/media.
oh and the easiest way to do this is buy root explorer (when your phone is rooted) backup the orginal one in /system/media (rename it) and put it in and your done.

NOT TRUE
I just placed this bootanimation in data/local and it plays just fine and the FPS es at 30
Ok, that's good. Altho that's what people said in other threads, i havent checked how much fps my current bootanimation is running tho, but it's in data/local and that works like a charm.
Any way to change the shutdown animation?

I was bored/ unemployed and decided to turn the nexus 6p commercial into a bootanimation.
Just replace your original from system/media ( make sure you keep the original in a safe place) change permission to rw-r--r--.
Hit like if you like. Hit donate if you want too. The attached .gif is not the actual boot animation just a preview made for this post.

Would you like the stock boot back? ( ALWAYS KEEP IT IN A SAFE PLACE) I'll post it below . I just noticed theres an Error in the flashable.Zip. (To add sound to your bootanimation you must save an .ogg file in the same folder and code it into the animation) .Use root explorer to replace whatever boot animation you have in the SYSTEM>MEDIA folder and edit permission to rwxr--r--
Thanks, I appreciate you helping me with the stock animation.
Can you help me figure out why the hell I can't get any other boot animations to work?

after my initial research your png files in each folder must be consecutive i.e P1 000.png-070.png P2 071.png - 139.png Etc..... they must be consecutive. you started from zero in each Part. 70 .png per folder

If you send me your original image files ill compile them for you i just dont want to go back through and rename all your files since you already have them. ship it to me in one bulk folder
I've attached a zip file with all of the images. I renamed each one to be in exact numerical order starting at 000 and going in increments of 001.
I placed that zip file with the desc.txt file into system/media and set the permissions at 0744(rxwr--r--).
It still didn't work.... Is there a limit to how many images can be in one folder?
I attached the zip in question to this post so you can see.
I also tried setting the permissions to 0644(rw-r--r--) and that didn't work either

[FLASH ZIP] Pixel XL 1440p Boot Animation BLACKED Edition - True Black!

Hi All,
Back again to share my latest work. I have taken the Google Pixel XL boot animation and converted it to have a black background. Its 1440p resolution.
I spent a lot of time learning to make python plugin for use with GIMP image editor to apply a number of image processing procedures and then batch process all the boot animation files. The result is I can quickly do this conversion now in less than 5min! This plugin does not simply do background paint bucket fills. The problem I found with this is you are left with intermediate colours remaining on the edge of the google letters from the white background. You might be able to solve that by increasing the threshold but then you are left with pixel, jagged edges which also sux! Instead I played with RGB modes, selective selection by colour, alpha colour, etc, etc. The result is a black background, with nice edges of the coloured google letters, and I think i did a good job to keep original colours. Someone with a trained photoshop'd eye may beg to differ but I think its ok for now.
Only thing I ask for in return is give credit where credit is due if you include this in your work/projects.
If anyone is interested in have the Pixel boot animation for devices of other resolutions (e.g. Nexus 5X) let me know and send the original boot animation and I'll convert.
Paul.
Oh! And as always - DO A NANDROID BACKUP!!! I will take not responsibility.

Please. Can you make Pixel device style BootLogo (logo.bin)?
How to apply this? When i try to flash it using boot animations app by jrummy then it shows error "please select a valid file" even though i select the correct zip, is there any other way to flash ? Can i directly flash it using twrp ?
yeah i also tried to put the zip in system/media and replaced the old bootanimation.zip with the new one and put the permissions the same octal 644 still didn't work.
Looks much better than the white version. I didn't flash it though. Just extracted zip and placed the bootanimation file in system/media and set permissions to rw/r/r

ok thanks can confirm that this worked for me the problem was I didn't extract the bootanimation from the zip file above. Also changed my permissions for octal 644 and it works.

Hmm I tried this. Not working for some reason. The zip has the right permissions and its in the right folder and I used the extracted zip as well. I'm on 6.0, do I need to be on nougat?
I'm getting a small lag spike right before it goes into the final G at the end. It freezes for a second and then finishes the animation. Any fixes?
i also made this for personal use but i simply used gimp to batch edit invert all whit eto black...retaining original rgb

No. Boot animations are in no way whatsoever OS dependent. I have literally been using the same boot animation since Ice Cream Sandwich. It's been the exact install method since that time as well.
Download your boot animation. Use a file explorer to take a peek inside it. Do you see a "META-INF" folder inside? If yes, that's a flashable zip and you will be installing it via recovery.
If no, then you should see several folders named 'part0, part1, part2, part3, etc., along with a desc.txt. Inside each folder is a picture. Together they all make up the entire animation. The desc.txt tells it how to play. The speed, resolution & order of the animation. If that's what you see then that's the actual boot animation itself and in that case;
Use a file explorer with root permissions. Navigate to /system/media and you will see the stock 'bootanimation.zip'
If you're never going to use it again and you know it, you can delete it. Otherwise you can rename it exactly 'bootanimation.zip.bak' and just delete the .bak extension you added if you ever wish to revert (after deleting the custom boot animation you installed).
Another thing to note is that the new boot animation you're downloading here (or anywhere) must always be named exactly the same as stock. So say you download a Spiderman themed boot animation named "spidey_BA.zip" you will need to rename it "bootanimation.zip".
So once your old boot animation is either changed to bootanimation.zip.bak or deleted, move the file of your choice into /system/media. Once the new animation is there make sure you're setting the correct permissions. They should be exactly -rw-r--r-- (644).
That's it. Reboot. Enjoy your new boot animation.
So remember, if your zip has a "META-INF" folder inside of it, that is meant to be flashed in recovery. If it only has folders named part0, part1 part2...in that fashion + a desc.txt, that is the actual boot animation which needs to go to /system/media and have its permissions granted to 644. That's been the case for changing boot animations since I got on Android in 2010, probably longer than that, I'd imagine. Every single phone. Not trying to bash or anything just help you understand. If you followed these steps and you don't see a new boot animation then you are in fact doing something wrong.
It's pretty straightforward. You shouldn't have any trouble or mess anything up. Worst thing you could probably do is just delete any animations. That wouldn't even boot loop you. You'd either end up with a black screen or the old default 'Android' still image until your phone booted. Let me know if you need more help.
Just wow. The black is just immaculate.
Works great on my 7.1 ROM thanks!
Is there a white version for ROMs that don't already have it too please?
