UPDATE:
Links have been replaced with a zip of all the sizes and versions I made. You will need to unzip the file you download, open the folder for your resolution and you will find the zipped file ready to go for your needs. The originals are also included for anyone who wants to do their own tweaking, etc. Sorry for any delays. Hope you guys enjoy.
I managed to find a little free time this holiday season and created a boot animation out of the new Call of Duty Black Ops II intro. I don't get a lot of free time outside of work and my family or I would spend more time doing more animations. However, I know this is late since the game came out last month. But here are the many different resolutions, and choices of landscape or portrait animations. A little preview is in order to start things off:
Landscape:
Portrait Versions:
Now, on to the good stuff.
Here are links to download one of the many flavors that best suits your device and the basic instructions. I tried to include the most popular screen sizes as well as include a download for the actual video's and files I made / used to create these animations.
ANIMATIONS:
Landscape:
All sizes
Portrait:
All sizes
Portrait Wrap:
All sizes
DISCLAIMER:
If you mess something up, do a search or speak up, someone or I will help. Chances are, others have had similar problems. However, I am not responsible for damages because you cannot read or took a mallet to your phone in frustration.
Also, anyone who wants to reuse/share/distribute/tweak these, go right ahead. That's why I included the original files for d/l. I do not mind, just post that the originals were found on XDA and posted by me, Crackanug. It's the honor system, use it and enjoy it.
If you need detailed instructions, there are tons of threads out there designed to help with boot animations. However, if you are having a very hard time getting any of these to work, post up, and I will try to help or just shoot me a PM.
SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Download the appropriate resolution for your device.
2. Change the name of the "zip" file to whatever name your phone uses for its animations. (i.e.: "bootanimation.zip" "VZW_bootanimation.zip" etc.)
3. Change the name of the audio file to whatever name your phone uses as well. (i.e.: "android_audio.mp3" "Verizon_Thunderbolt_3sec.mp3" SPC_animation_final.mp3" etc)
4. Copy the zip file and mp3 to your phone, doesn't matter if it's via USB cable to SDCARD, using ADB to push the file, or using your phone's browser to download the file directly from the link.
5. Copy, move, or place said files you downloaded and renamed into the directory where your boot animations are stored. Typically for most phones the directories are: /system/media - /data/local - or in most HTC phones /system/customize/resource/
SAMSUNG OWNERS:
Go to this thread if your boot plays without sound, or does not work at all.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2063280
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Make sure to backup your old/stock boot animation if you haven't already done so. The easiest way is to use your favorite file explorer to rename the old boot animation to something like: "bootanimation.zip.bak" same goes for the mp3 file, just add the extension ".bak" after the mp3 extension. BOOM! Done.
HELPFUL HINTS:
I have included two versions of audio files for the animations, one is the short version and one is a slightly modified longer version. If the audio is finishing way ahead of the video, try the longer "v2" audio file. If you are not satisfied with those results, there is one more thing you can try. Simply d/l the next resolution down, modify the "desc.txt" file contained within the zip to match your devices resolution. This will allow the animation to run smoother/faster and the phone will resize everything to the correct resolution all on its own. Then try either audio clip.
One more thing, if you find that the audio doesn't play, or there is an issue where neither the animation nor the audio play. Check to see if you need to modify your "default.xml" file located in the directory: /system/customize/CID. First backup the original file, then open the file in a text editor and change the following code located near the bottom of the file to match the name of your boot animation and its location. Same goes for the audio. Here is an example:
Code:
<BootConfiguration>
<BootAnimation animation="/system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip"
audio="/system/customize/resource/android_audio.mp3" audiostart="part2" />
</BootConfiguration>
If you are still having problems, again, post a question.
Now, I better go buy the wife some flowers.
ENJOY!

If there is no pre-existing audio file contained within the /system/media directory, try placing the audio file provided in the first post within the same directory titled, "android_audio.mp3". If the audio still does not work, or this is what you have been experiencing. It is possible the maker of your rom has disabled boot sounds or it is a samsung thing (not sure which). However, I found a post from user vamsee417 who has included a couple files you place in the /system/bin directory and change the permissions to rwx,r-x,r-x for both files. The original post is below, but I have also uploaded the two files incase anyone else needs them. Keep in mind, these files are for an older model Samsung, so I am not sure if they really will work or if they might mess something up on your phone. I suggest doing a search for your model phone regarding how to enable boot sounds or making a back up of the original file in /system/bin (if there is one) before copying the new ones in.

This animation looks beautiful, however I'm having some trouble with it...
I installed it on my DROID RAZR MAXX, with the 540x960 resolution.. The device boots correctly, the animation starts playing, but when it gets to the point of the B&W old lady, it suddenly freezes for a couple seconds, and then continues to play in a very slow frame rate like 1 FPS..
If I install one of a lower resolution and mod the desc file, will it work?

Yes, by modifying the desc.txt file. It will automatically resize the smaller sized photos to your screen resolution. In turn, it should speed up the animation. If you run into more problems, let me know.

The files should now download instead of stream, or ask if you want to download or stream. The only exception is Microsoft Internet Explorer. You will have to "right click" on the link and choose "save as" from the drop down box.

There was an R2D2 app but it has been taken off the market. I was wondering if anybody has the apk. I would also like to find a R2D2 Boot Animation, possibly with sound. Eventually I would like to have an R2D2 themed Droid Eris. Maybe someone should develop an R2D2 custom rom. I think if it was good, it would be successful.
I don't know about the app, but you can find the boot animation by following this link.

The Bootscreen folder goes in the system/media folder. make sure you take out the bootanimation.zip out. I suggest buying root explorer so you don't have to hook up your phone to your computer to push it through. With Root Explorer, you can copy it there manually. The R2D2 bootscreen goes in a folder called bootscreen, not the bootanimation.zip. and you put the bootscreen folder in the system/media folder so make sure that is what you are doing.
Next time, let us know what you did so we can better help you. Its hard to tell what you are doing wrong when we dont know what you are doing.
There is already a folder in system/media for your ringtones. That is where the Eris stores the sounds it uses(ringtones, notifications). I definitely suggest buying root explorer so you can explore your Eris much easier.
i suggest using the first link for the boot animation since it has sound, while the boot animation for the r2d2 pack has no sound. I just downloaded the second link for the r2d2 pack, and the only thing i would use is the audio for notifications. just make sure u guys remember system/media because that is where u have to put the bootanimation.zip or the bootscreen folder at. u can also put the bootanimation.zip in data/local but i suggest system/media
I downloaded the pack yesterday. It has a "cute" little clock apk in it. I installed and the novelty wore off rather quickly. Still, if you're wanting to theme your Eris with R2D2/Starwars, it's kinda cool.
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
I had my Eris themed with R2D2 by using the bootscreen with the sound. Then I used a wallpaper of R2D2 that I found and set the wallpaper not to scroll so R2D2 fills up the entire wallpaper. Then I downloaded a Starwars Soundboard and got the R2D2 sounds for my text message and email notifications(different sound for each one).
At the moment, I themed my Eris to being a Darth Vader theme since my silicone cover is black. My notifications are various versions of him breathing. I still need to find a bootscreen for Darth Vader, or make my own.
I still recommend buying Root Explorer to put files in their place over having to hook the phone up to the computer and pushing them through unless you really love working in the DOS environment.
Back to my original question, does anybody know where I can find the R2D2 apk that used to be on the market. R2D2 would make noise when you touched him or when you turned your phone.

Hi there,
Have made some custom UI sounds and "share" is the word :
The Back to the Future Pooley's flavored lil' Pack !
You have to :
- unzip,
- place the folder at root of SD Card,
- Replace the default UI sounds by these ones (in system/media/audio/ui) via Estrongs or Solid Explorer (Root access needed)...
- Reboot,
- Enjoy !
- Lock/Unlock Back to the futur Custom D)
- Dock/Undock (FL Studio 9 fragrance for those of you who are using this software)...
- Keyboard Beeps (Delete|Return|Spacebar|Standard)
- Camera Beep (nice one !)
- Battery low Dark deep sound
(Hey keep in mind you might not like it, so backup your default UI folder first !)
So... Like it or not ?
If you want some crazy sounds wait for it I'll upload here some I have on my phone ... Do not hesitate to share your sounds too !!
My sounds are all edited with Sony Sound Forge Pro 10 (... fade OUT and tweaked for better render !)
Edit UI.zip v0.2:
Modify the Lock.ogg by adding some silence at the and of the sequence (don't know if it's kernel related but Lock sound was not played its all length, and sometimes it was...).
Edit 2 :
Transformers.zip added : Enjoy the new
- bootsound(*.mp3)
- Lock(*.ogg)
- unlock(*.ogg)
Freshly home made from HQ the transformation sounds effects.
Have fun folks !

This mod allows for mirroring in landscape mode using the MirrorService.apk from Photon. Output is scaled up from the native resolution up to 1080p if your display supports it.
I am still in the process of trying to better package this so it will not wreck havok on existing installs. Any updates will be posted here.
Flashing this will likely result in problems for you, so be warned, it's not for the faint of heart.
-you must wipe data
-restoring apps with TiBu will likely not work
-could possibly break market installs / updates
-this will NOT work on CM7
-webtop will not be available over HDMI
Here's a link to the CWM flashable zip:
http://96.126.112.115/HDMI-landscape-0.1.zip
I have personally tested this with Aura Rom 1.2.2.2 Deblur, but I have no reason to believe it won't work on other blur based roms.
Standard disclaimers apply-- Not responsible for data loss or if your phone catches fire etc.
Update 11/16/2011: It seems like this can be more reliably included in a rom vs. being added later due to the nature of how the mirror service works. I have successfully modified a version of Aura to include this and have been running it with much fewer issues over the past few days.
Method 2: This is the exact process I have used most recently. It resigns your entire rom to avoid any signature mismatch related issues.
You will need:
Apk Manager
A copy of your ROM zip file
a program to modify the contents of the zip (WinRAR, 7zip, etc.)
HDMI-landscape-FilesOnly-Atrix.zip containing all the files needed to get mirroring working
Instructions:
1. Extract Apk Manager to a folder somewhere
2. Extract all the apks from your ROM (/system/app for most, Aura has these in /debloat/app), be sure to include /system/framework/framework-res.apk and the provided MirrorService.apk, to the "place-apk-here-for-signing" folder where you extracted Apk Manager.
3. Delete all the apk's in the "place-apk-here-for-signing" folder that should not be resigned. (Music.apk, Maps.apk, Superuser.apk, Gmail.apk, Youtube.apk, etc)
4. run Script.bat in the Apk Manager folder and run option 16.
5. Drag all the apks you just re-signed back inside your ROM zip file to overwrite the existing files. (don't forget that framework-res.apk needs to go in the /system/framework folder)
6. Copy the remaining needed files inside the HDMI-landscape-FilesOnly-Atrix.zip to their corresponding location in your ROM zip. /system/lib/ & /system/framework need the following files:
/system/framework/com.motorola.android.iextdispservice.jar
/system/framework/com.motorola.android.imirrorservice.jar
/system/framework/com.motorola.android.inativehdmiapis_v1.jar
/system/lib/libmirrrorjni.so
/system/lib/hw/overlay.tegra.so
7. You can now flash your modified ROM image!
This method will leave you with a working Webtop if your ROM already included the option to allow webtop over HDMI.
Be warned, using the webtop will very likely cause the mirroring to malfunction until you reboot your phone. As long as you don't use the webtop in a given boot, the mirroring works great.
Will you post your version of Aura with the mirroring enabled? or will you wait for diviance to update aura?

Nice finding Starrwarrior! Just CWM flashed hdmi-landscape.0.1.zip on my atrix and still can't believe HDMI landscape mirroring works Even if it's at a lower res than 720p You just made my cellphone one hell of a of awesome purchase !
Since I got a day off today, I'll try the resigning method on the alienv4 rom and hope that in the end, webtop over HDMI, HDMI landscape mirroring, webtop2sd AND weptopscripts can all coexist on atrix with this rom.
One question though: do you mind if you list every apk (except for Music.apk, Maps.apk, Superuser.apk, Gmail.apk, Youtube.apk) you excluded from resigning please ? Even though it's from a different rom, I am taking a shot through the dark here lol.

Those are the only Google Apps that I know of that generally get updated. As a rule of thumb, if it is updated via the market it would be a bad idea to re-sign it. Worst case scenario you can just adb push the original one back to your phone from your ROM's zip.
Totally awesome Starrwarrior!!!
Will try Method 2 on the first chance I have!
Cheers!
Rayan
Thanks for the feedback starrwarrior. Although I went ahead before looking at your post and avoided resigning MOST of the apks except the blur ones lol...
I can now confirm that modding alienv4 with your second method makes webtop over HDMI, HDMI landscape mirroring, webtop2sd and webtopscripts work altogether on my Bell Atrix (after fixing the RAM issue, but for me I had it only happen on the stock ATT gingerbread and the alienv4 rom; it didn't happen on CM7 BaT2). As long as webtop wasn't booted before using HDMI mirroring, it's smooth sailing for me.
(edited after further playing with modded alienv4 rom)
I realized I broke google market (no big deal, just reflashed old version of gapps) and every blur-related app (maybe a big deal because of the following sentence -_-)
I also broke ringtones/notifications (in settings --> sounds, phone doesn't detect ANYTHING and I can't assign ANY ringtones/notifications; I even tried RingDroid and Ring Commander and I get a FC every time...)
I'll admit I just blindly followed the 2nd method though.
(edited again after redoing starrwarrior second method of rom editing of alienv4)
I just ONLY EXCLUDED resigning gmail.apk, maps.apk, superuser.apk and youtube.apk. I resigned the rest of the apk in the alienv4 rom.
Now I have ringtones back and I can finally reassign them. Webtop over HDMI, webtop2sd, webtopscripts AND HDMI landscape mirroring (still at a lower res than 720p though) still work althogether. I'll play with this modified rom for a while and reediting my post after a few more days.
If all's well, I'll try to PM kennethpenn afterwards, even though I read that he doesn't have the time to support this rom anymore
You are the Atrix HDMI mirror GOD!
Is there any chance that this mod will be applicable to a stock ROM (preferably without completely wiping it) at some point or is it looking like this is pretty much what you will have to do?

Tried method 2 with Pi Crust .8 once, in a bit of a time crunch, but no go. Guessing didn't take all the correct app files out of /system/apps/. Took out one's in OP and couple more I thought fit the bill. I'll give it another shot soon before I set up my webtop.
Backed up and had darkside running just to smile and show the fellow co-working, android heads today. Thanks again for revamping the Atrix once more! I'll post Pi Crust if I get it working I suppose. Navalynt posted in it's OP that he kinda made it for stuff like this (though I'll double check and webtop/FP scanner always has worked well for me on it.

I played around with my modded alienv4 rom for the weekend. On my atrix, I didn't notice any slowdown while playing on fpse nor n64 with ps3 controller connected on bluetooth. That's with HDMI mirroring. On webtop, it lags a bit but it's not unbearable, even with a firefox window open at gamefaqs.com lol. I wish I had a photon for testing purposes.

I got a potentially huge issue on webtop since I applied the mod. On my modded alienv4 rom, I can use my ps3 bluetooth keypad on the android view window BUT NOT OUTSIDE of it. I can't type in any app in ubuntu with the bluetooth keyboard BUT I can still use the onscreen keyboard and trackpad on the atrix... how weird... It's as if I never activated bluetooth keyboard in webtop. Does this happen to you too on any bluetooth keyboard or mouse? If you're not using webtop, never mind the question lol.
Has anyone had the issue where a custom bootanimation does not play all the way through? I have the desc.txt configured correctly and all the .pngs named properly...
Idk what is wrong.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm on the V10K rom. For me custom boot animations work, but I can't get any sound to play other than the stock one
When you make your own.. All it takes is one file to stop the cycle. Everything has to be exact right size

Just rename any sound file to the stock one and replace

All of the files are the exact same size and dpi... I know because I used gimp and just made one project that contained all the different frames as layers, then used a gimp script to export the layers as .PNG , then renamed using the batch rename tool in Ubuntu... I still haven't been able to make this work.
Any more suggestions?

Anyone?
I have tried:
-renaming the files
-using emacs, geany, gedit, jedit, and even the es text editor on the phone
-adding a line at the end/deleting the line at the end
-splitting it into different parts (many different ways)
-keeping it in one part
-esentially everything (that i can think of...)
please help, my next step is going to be to start from scratch.
because the only thing i can think of that might be causing my issue would be the archive manager that comes with Ubuntu. Unless simply using a 64bit machine causes the whole process to not work properly (like many other things i have done in the past).
But, this is the most frustrating thing i have encountered since i was trying to unpack/repack a boot.img before someone had discovered the proper way to do this for our phone...
i am on the verge of selling my thrill, buying a galaxy nexus, and stopping trying to develop for android. Because everything i ever try and do never just works, like it is supposed to, and bootanimations should be an extremely simple thing to work with...
I am baffled by the difficulty i have been having with this animation.
All of my images are .png, 480x800, 240 dpi. They were created as layers within a single Gimp project and exported as .png.
Any assistance would be more appreciated that you could possibly imagine...
Right! I've just ported the blindndumb rom Blind Smoke (Mooke OS) to the IncS and have been testing it for the last couple of days - works almost perfectly! (the only thing out if the button backlights - any help would be greatly appreciated!)
Credit where it's due:
I done very little work on this and really the credit has to go to szezso (for the 'Incredible v1.0' rom - the base for my port and a beautiful job all by itself (that in turn was based on CyanogenMod 7.2 rc2, so big hugs there too)) and to blindndumb for the Blind Smoke rom.
Oh also, the guys behind the kitchen. Totally awesome work and makes it a pleasure to port stuff!
Anyway, without further ado... Incredible Smoke!

I'll try to do screen shots soon but a quick flick over to blindndumb's site has some good shots already (click here). It is a beautiful rom and has a load of really nice features. My new favourite!
Oh, and for the button lights there's this:
Download the attached zip (backligh_files.zip - credit to kimifan316 for the files!)
Install a terminal emulator from the play store.
Next, copy the files in the zip to system\etc
Now, go change the properties on both the files to include execute (in esfile explorer this is done via long press, properties, change then tick execute for all users).
Now launch your terminal app.
in here type:
cd system
cd etc
su
sh bklights_init.sh
This is only temporary until someone can help me fix it properly
Here's the video can't seem to embed it here somebody help

Install the superuser app and all should be well.
I have to say that the rom looks really nice and also very smooth.
I only can't manage to copy the files in the zip file to /system/etc.
When I do that I get a message that it has failed to copy.
It looks like I don't have the persmission to do that.
Does anyone know how to copy these files to /system/etc?
Good point about installing superuser - I forgot to mention it in the post. I'm still quite new at this but I'll try and stick superuser in by default with the next version...
Looks good , How about the battery life ?
Maestro, ensure you have installed superuser for root access and enabled writing to system. In es file explorer this is done by hitting settings, scrolling to the bottom, turning on root explorer and mount file system... Let me know if it still doesn't work.
thx a lot! it helped. I wasn't aware of the settings in es file explorer.
So the lights do work now.
Only thing I experience is a kind of a delay when light turn off and on. So when turning off the screen the buttons stay on for a few seconds and then turn off. Also when turning on the screen again the buttons will turn on after a few seconds. But the behaviour is not always the same.
But it's not a big deal cause they do work! I just wanted to share.
Thx again!
Does this rom support wifi hotspot?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
Battery life seems pretty good to me I easily get through a day with quite a bit of juice remaining...
Wifi hotshot and tethering are supported but I don't use either so can't vouch for their performance...
Decent rom fast and stable!! Check out the video in second post!! Only of there were enough themes to mess with and my device is showing desire s!! Please fix that!! And a few other places where language is still Chinese!!

Nice video, thanks for doing that
I'll work on the bugs you pointed out there but I'm still wet behind the ears with android development so don't expect miracles...
Just so you know the flashlight does work just not from that button. Install one from the market and it's ok...
Thanks for porting it over man! Definitely nice to see new rooms being posted here, keeps me loving this phone will try it out later and get back on how it goes

Fix for product name
I have created flashable zip to fix product name.
hope you dont mind. good work wish you the best with the rom
Edit: Let me know how it works
Cool, thanks for that. I've sorted out the naming bits in the next release but I'm still working on the backlights before I upload it. Also think I have the su access in there by default now too... Hopefully be able to upload soon.
when trying to copy to system\etc folder the es file explorer says copy failed what am i doing wrong
also am i supposed to unzip the zip file?
See this one for how to write to system/etc: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26513213&postcount=9
And yes, it needs to be unzipped.
