Hi all,
in this thread i will continue the work from zenity (which inspired me to start with custom splashes and boot animations)
The main purpose of this thread is mainly for splash screens and boot animation requests for Kaiser.
I will start the thread with 1 custom splash and 1 custom boot animation,
so you can all see what the possibility's are.
When you request a splash screen ----> please attach the picture you want as splash screen.
For boot animations ---> a video or other file might be helpful, as im not going to make 200+ png art files for you by hand
And of course credits for zenity!
I will try to handle the requests as soon as possible, and if there are people willing to help that's perfectly fine
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any damage you cause to your phone by flashing custom splash screens or using any boot animations.

Splash Screens
Death Note Misa Misa Splash screen:
Dude, thanks for the credit, but really I'm not sure I deserve it, lol, I only a few bootsplashes and bootanimations.
Glad to see someone take up the challenge though, my thread was really just a collection thread for others work
I guess the idea of this thread was ok, but till now i didn't get any responses yet might place this thread in the general android forums or something.
and you still get the credits, because of you i got into the bootanimation stuff

this does not work for me it does seem to boot faster without a boot animation though
Boot animation working
It works for me, but only if i integrate it in the installer (but thats with all bootanimations for me). Though, i guess i had a bit too much enthusiasm putting 1,5 minute of movie in this bootanimation.
But still, this is just an example of whats possible. I can make simple bootanimations as well on request. So if you have an idea, just post it here and your request will be made
updateandroid.tar method wont work?
how about a basic few frame boot ani, it possible that the boot process has gotten faster than the animations take.
?
how you mean that exactly? i dont really understand what you mean with it.
to change the bootanimation.zip file an updateadroid.tar file must be use because of the file permissions.
this method produces the error i fore mentioned.
you are saying i must put the file in the androidinstall.tar next time i update?
i wonder if fix permission in boot does not fix permissions for bootanimation.zip and that is why it does not work
how about something like these....
click on the skeleton guy ....not sure why he isn't animating on here?
Procedure
You could use androidupdate.tar method,
or use adb push method and push bootanimation.zip to /data/local (did not check, but thought this was the right path)
though i always experienced problems with changing the bootanimation
ok, im very busy with school right now. I will be looking at them next week.
Ill post the bootanimations in this thread

Hey everyone,
I've taken away a lot from this site in regards to ROMs, Radios, knowledge, freindly banter, etc. etc. so I figured I'd contribute something small back. Recently a lot of people have been making splash screens with some crazy pics, there are a lot of talented people on here I must say. However, I was looking for something more like a computer since this device really is like one. So I came up with a POST screen and then into the Windows boot screen. I attached the screen shots below and a zip that contains the updater and welcome.png file. I hope at least some of you enjoy it, but if you don't thats cool too.
Here are the screenshots, I forgot to upload that file.
Looks very cool!
like it a lot, TNX.
is it animated??
It's not animated only because of the sound issues the AT&T one caused a while back. If I find out it doesn't cause sound issues and people are interested I'd animate it.
uber newb question, how do I apply this splash screen when I open RUUWrapper I get what looks like something I used to upload my ROM fille
any hints on how to run this safely?

Just run the RUU exe and select Force SPL if you are not HARD SPL. It will flash the new splash screen and reboot. Next copy over the welcomehead JPG file into the Windows directory on your device. Reset to see the new setup.
I know some hard work goes into making some of these splash screens, but I'd actually prefer to see kernel messages. Just like what I'd see if I were booting Linux up on a PC. If I delete the splash image files, will this break my phone? Or will it just fall back to giving me the kernel print outs?
If there is a recommended sequence of steps required to do this, it really wouldn't hurt to spell them out for me. Thanks!
I would pm a developer.
Im not sure if it can set up like that.
It would look cool though. Keep us posted.

i have tried by editing the init files, but I didnt make it.
someone?
I posted this over in one of the FAQ threads here. There a few encouraging replies, especially regarding the current line of investigation.
The bad news is that Cyanogen himself has declared this difficult so I don't know how much further we'll get.
I have read the posts on here but I still cannot seem to get mine to work. This is a multi-part question.
I have tried to mimic the file names, sizes of the images, made sure they were in PNG format, and used the text file and directory structure of a few different working boot animations. When I try and use it with my ROM, all it does is show a black screen where the boot animation should be.
I think I have an idea of what is wrong, does a boot nimation have to be signed before it is usable (like most other zip files do) or can you just make the folder and text file, zip it using 7-Zip and you are good to go?
I have no idea what I am doing wrong. That is about the only thing I can think of. I have tried different sized images, renaming my files different, and I still get the same results.
Any help greatly appreciated greatly!
(Before anyone says anything, I did a search and tried finding my answers and I am still stumped.)

can't help you with the issue itself, but you should drop a quick post linking to this thread in the Custom Boot Animations and Splash Screens sticky (in themes & apps), and ask someone there to take a look. Pseudoremora's a genius with this stuff.
Send me what you have (pm or post here doesnt matter) and I can take a look at it.
I edited a couple of bootanimations to my liking and I have a decent handle on how they work.
Thank you lovethyevo, I will attach it to this thread. Thank you very much and if you can help me, I will be most grateful!
Is this for sense based or cm? I can probably get it to work for sense based but cm places the files in a different area if I remember correctly.

Yes, this is a Sense based ROM, I do not use CM and think I read the same (that CM stores it in a different place).
Thanks again!

Thank you, I will see what LovethyEVO comes up with and then ask there if he cannot get it. I wasn't sure if it was better to post here or there.
Update: Got about 98% of the animation to play. For some reason it's not playing the images that spell out the rom name.
Working on it though just letting you know.
100% working on my evo. All images play correctly. Enjoy.
would you guys be able to post the animation. I love looking at this kind of stuff.
I think the most important thing is to make sure that you have no compression for your zip file. I would set my pngs to 480x480 at 24 bit-depth and reuse the desc.txt files from other working boot animations.
nice one, lovethyevo - hey, have you guys had luck with something other than after effects to make the png's?

Pngs for the evo can be 480x800 but at that size it would look better in 32 bit.

I use and used gimp to fix the pngs on this animation. Very nice program but like everything else it takes a while to learn the basic stuff.
Hi all,
I looked and tried for a while now, but I'm not able to change my boot animation on the COS ICS by roalex. A bootanimation.zip stored in system/media and/or in data/local doesn't work for me. I'm shure it changed in general in ICS. Can anybody help me please to find a way to change my boot animation?
Some ICS threads recommend to store in system/customize/resource, but I don't have a customize file.
For all changes I use root explorer.
Thanks and have a nice day!
What do you mean with "does not work"? Is any bootanimation shown or do you just get a black screen? Did you make your named it correctly and really replaced the old bootanimation?
Thanks for your answer
The bootscreen in general works. In settings I can enable and disable boot animation. When I enable boot, then the old school android boot animation is showed. I think this is maybe a fallback mode, when there is no bootanimation.zip. But I don't know.
When I look into /system/media and /data/local after a fresh installation, then there is no bootanimation.zip. Maybe the builder of this ROM has diasabled custom boot images to speed up the device (it is indeed very fast).
And because he has disabled boot animation per default, I'm not able to set up my own.
It's not the first time I created my own animation, so I'm shure it works at least in gingerbread.
My new question should be now, how to enable bootanimation in this special case, when it is disabled by default?
I suggest, that this is no big deal, when this doesn't work on this rom. I can live without a nice boot animation. It's more for my general comprehension, how android is working.

I guess you mean folder, not file, don't you?
Yes, indeed. Sorry.
Tried to create folderpath (/customize/resource) yourself and then move the bootnanimation.zip there?
BEFORE TRYING, MAKE A NANDROID-BACKUP!!!
Ok it didn't work for me. I'm a backup profi now, but nothing seems to work.
It's ok for me, I'll close this thread now.
Gracias!
It works flawless on my HTC Desire with this ROM.

I know the issue......install disk usage and tell me size of your system partition free space, then tell the size of bootanimation.....it always happens when space not enough.....Android tries to write your file, and if no space, it just shows.that file is written.....please check free space and tell.....

I have had a bit of a hard time finding much about changing that annoying whit HTC splash screen.here is what I have figured out ,might be helpfull for any of my fellow noobs ..ok,this is simple,there are many really cool custom screens you can find on here,pick the one you like,download it to your sd card.make sure it is named PG32IMG.zip ..power off your phone.holding volume down,power on your phone,this should take you to your h boot.once there give it a second,it will ask you if you want to update,press volume up,reboot your phone by pressing power,done!Hope you find this helpfull!p.s.there is also a good app for making your own screens on here somewhere .think its called splash flasher or something like that,look for it..
Understanding that you cannot post in the dev sections as of yet, I can see why you would post here. I'm in the same spot given I have utilized the forum for a long time but have not been active in the community. I noticed that your link did not come through properly. Here is a link to a splash screen modification that I use with success here. In conjunction with this I also modified my boot up and boot down animations although there are not a ton to chose from, I'm sure there are other threads out there. I just don't have the links. I used these boot up animations (w/ audio mod if you like) with success here. Love that gdi2290 Anyways, I did do some searching to find and ultimately found it through the all things root post found here which has a ton of information for Dinc2 users trying to get their root/modification legs. If anyone else has some decent links for splash screen, boot up, boot down, or other useful links. Add them to the pile.

Check out rom toolbox on the market. You can change boot animations with it. You used to be able to change boot screen also, but unless I'm overlooking it, that has been taken out.

No doubt, keep forgetting the features that app has because I have always used cwm manually (and have since moved on 4ext touch). Nice work!

I can never get the boot logos to work with that app.Love the themes and boot animations though.I think the paid version is well worth it!

There is a thread on here somewhere with a bunch of boot logos that you can download. It's pretty easy to change. Just rename the file and flash in bootloader. You have to make sure it's on the root of sd card. I don't think it works if it's in a folder.
