Title says it all.
Please no fanboy or anything comments. I have been looking for some good animated wallpaper, but I can't find any.
If anyone is good at making them, I'd really appreciate help in contructing an animated wallpaper.
I know it requires multiple images, but this would be my first time and I wouldn't know where to start.
Maybe the COG on this site: http://scathingaccuracy.com/article.asp?guide/2008.09.22-Shepton
You could take away the skull, and edit the cog so it spins clockwise?
Ideas are welcome, maybe we can get a group of people and make a totally amazing wallpaper.
I am also up for for helping make XBOX 360, PS3, Wii, or any video game themes as well.
this would be awesome,, imagine a gears of war boot animation, or better yet a 3.0 sense lock screen,, this would be super sick,,, I've seen quit a few over at the sensation forum but none here.
I have a gow3 bootanimation that I made for the 3d I can port over and i can make a lockring if you want
now the voices are in 3d
oh heck yes,, that would be awesome,,, I will be the envy at my job,,, with gears release right around the corner this is going to be super sick...
thanks
Ok I'll port it over tonight and hook up a gears lockring
now the voices are in 3d
here is the lock ring and bootanimation.
unzip and place the lockring.zip and bootanimation.zip on sdcard and flash through recovery(sense based)
press here enjoy

downloaded, gonna try it later!
ok let me know what you think
ok the ring works awesome, but the boot animation doesn't.
I tried to install it with armon and rom manager and no dice.. when I try it with armon it says that no script was found and when I flash with rom manager it hangs up of about a min then it goes through the process of flashing but nothing happens when I boot up..
I like the music you put on it,, I was able to open up the zip with esfile manager and the mp3 is totally awesome , can't wait to see the video..
hope you can help me flash the boot animation file..
I am using mikroms as my custom rom hope this helps.
ok said no script, let me look at something real quick
yes it does the name is wrong, hold on
which mikrom you on so i can make sure i get the name right
ok,, cool thanks
ok try this one i think the name is right

they call it hTC_bootanimation.zip,, within the zip are two folders part0 and part1 along with a desc.txt file
and it is located in the sys/local/data/local/ folder
ok try this
GoW-bootanimation data/local
I'm using Synergy RC2, haven't tried it yet, but when I do I'll post back the results, was looking through the folders and the pics looks pretty cool, and the mp3 you have in there was pretty cool.
no dude that doesn't work
I was trying to keep my eye on rom manager during flashing process and abort flash quickly across the screen, then it went in to reboot...

I have modified the Blue Star 5 theme, the only thing I take any credit for is the status bar background, and making some changes to the drawer for the launcher (which I got from the QCTX - Older is Better theme). If anyone objects to me posting this, let me know.
I guess also I gotta take a little credit for putting the images in place and re-signing everything.
Now - this works on my phone, not sure if it'll work for anyone else. But I know alot of people are waiting patiently for a compatible theme, so I thought I would share what I have so far. It is by no means complete some elements have surely been overlooked by me. Any suggestions I will take to heart, though my time is limited to work on it. There are no icons included for Amazon MP3 store, default Email client, or the IM program. I don't use them, and haven't had time to copy over the icons. If all goes well with the latest updates, I will include those in my final release.
So here it is.
Modified Blue Star 5 RC33
Since it doesn't seem to be working for many, here is another attempt, I resigned everything and instead of "deflate" I use "store" compression - so the file is larger.
See if this one works.
This is JUST the Framework-res.apk file (only partial theme, but good to test)
Here is the Framework & Launcher, which will be a more complete feeling, minus the program icons.
Obviously the majority of the credit goes to manup456 for creating Blue Star 5! Thanks.
Without further ado, here are some shots:
Nice daveid,
This is (DaYuMu6ft7) from AD
Thanks again
Let me know if this works for anyone else... Coming soon will be the proper transparent notification window and some tweaks to selected items, etc.
Does that little android at the bottom change colors? I'm flashing it now so I guess we'll see!

sorry yall, uploaded the wrong file, try again.
also excuse me for not including the IM.apk, Email.apk, or com.amazon.mp3.apk files, I don't use them so I didn't modify them. I will update with those in the future. So please, download and try again, I will check back later to see if it was a success.
It got stuck at T-mobile G1 Logo

Hung at boot screen, reloaded JF 1.41 RC33

Hey DaYuM....it's ND from AC
I created boot animations for Eclair:
First: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF THIS BRICKS YOUR PHONE
Download an rename it to "bootanimation.zip"
Push it via adb:
Code:
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/
adb shell reboot
Files deleted. Sry.
Looking for a fast and easy way to flash & backup your bootanimations? Try our Pc Suite Batch collection >>
nice animation! Che123 great works on my G1
an animated skating android would be cool with black background green android and blue skateboard
I have been searching everywhere, and I cant find where to get adb...how do I get it, and does it go on my phone or on my computer?
Thanks.
EDIT: I spoke too soon...why does this happen, I search for 20 minutes, come up empty handed, as soon as I post this I find it...thanks anyways
LOL This is awesome dude !!!!
Any chance you could do one with sound (Peter's laugh perhaps) then my G1 would definetley be perfect
@RUMyBruncle: Congrats
@KingAzzA:
I thought about that too, but I'm not quite sure how and if it's possible to include this sound to the bootanimation.
Update: Added PulpFiction bootanimation

i have no idea what they're talking about either, but here's an easier method that works
download a bootanimation from hxxp://droidboots.com/downloads/boot-animations/ or where ever u want
rename it to bootanimation.zip, right click on it copy
use winrar open up which ever rom u want goto /data/local
ctrl v
close up rar
there u go.. u got your custom boot animation
Thanks a lot!!

the location of the bootanimation depends on the rom. you can search the rom manually to find out where the bootanimation.zip is located. If you found it, just overwrite it
Im interested in making boot animations using movie clips, but im not sure where to start. I have book marked a few how-to's to get started (have to work in a min so ill read up later) but none of them seem to describe using a video in the boot animation. Any help would be great, thanks.
I am pretty sure it has to be a series of png's
Maybe you could find an app that can take the movie clip and split into a series of images? but then you would have to deal with extracting the audio and seems like it would be quite the headache!

+1 to this.
It DOES have to be a series of PNGs and it WOULD be a MAJOR headache!
I figured itd have to be a series of images, as for the audio I should be able to extract the audio as mp3 from the source. Syncing the 2 might be an issue. Any tools for making boot animations?

Any guides for the Evo on how to put a boot animation together, zip it, and install it?

Ok, so ive got a bootanimation.zip and the mp3 file too, but i cant seem to push it to /system/customize/resource
Seems like i cant delete or write in this area...
I know im full root, and im using Android mate to root explore. Cant find an option to edit permissions for the folder.
Any ideas here, ive tried adb, 2 different boot animation changer script/programs, and using a file explorer.
Thanks guys

if using adb you have to give yourself SU first by typing adb shell then SU
if using root explorer, go to settings and then go to Root options (all the way to the bottom) and check Mount File System.
Hope that works! =D
btw, sometimes Root Explorer might be temperamental so you might have to uncheck and check again the box..
Make sure you zip file is in storage format. Make a flashable zip if you can much easier.
How do i go about making it a flashable zip?

I appreciate it and will try it out, but could someone maybe explain the process of creating a flashable .zip in general (i intend to do this for bootanimations & possibly splash screens) and if that process differs for bootanimation/splash screens.
What makes it flashable? Just the script? If so whats the syntax for the script?
Thanks again
I changed all the colors in the 3D bootanimation that came out. When I run it. It only stays black I changes sizes of the images and everything. Also replaced the files in the stock bootanimation file. Also changed every image name but still nothing.
Can someone that knows how to make boot animations look at it and let me now what I did wrong ? I will thank you.....

It sounds like you just didnt zip it up correctly. The Bootanimation file has to be zipped with the "STORE" option.... as in NO compression.
try zipping it with the "store" option and copy/flash it over.
i will try that but i even just copied the images into the stock boot animation and didn't work also tried just couple images over the stock once and the when i ran it the stock once worked just not mine not sure if the images have to be in some kinda formate
Zipped it using STORE and the first folder works now thanks getting close just have to see whats going on in folder 2 thank for your help
i have it working for you. flashable zip.
looks cool even without 3d
thanks man you rock what did i do wrong

hell i dont remember now what i fixed in it, did it work for you and which did you use(might help me remember)one labeled media or the sense one(just says zip)
No they didn't work. the folder with the 3d images in don't load but thank for trying
That's what i can't get working
Sorry the one in the 3d-system-media folder worked look sweet thanks

I used those pics,I changed the desc,and the folder names and the one labeled media was signed
So the media one works fine for you, cause I tested the one for sense on mine
I'm posting this to see if anyone has tried changing the boot animation on this ROM. I've tried to use the apps on the market and I grabbed a few from blackmart too, but I couldn't get the boot animation to change. I grabbed root explorer and moved files. I used android sdk and tried pushing them into the system folder. I can't get the damn boot animation to change. I'm using the filename "bootanimation.zip" correctly. Ummm at the moment that's all I can think of that I've tried. If anyone has any valuable input that might help me out, I'd really appreciate it. Once the revolution tool came out, I've become a flashaholic haha. I really like this evolved ROM. Mainly because of all the green in it everywhere. ....I'm straying from my point, Boot animation. Posted a shootme shot of my ROM and kernel that I flashed.
Anyone?
Thank you

Via root explorer:
Copy the boot animation you have selected to data/drm. I could be wrong since I flashed out of that rom already but I think that is where it goes. Leave it as is once pasted there. Remember the name of the old one in there, delete it, then rename the new one with the old one's name. I did because I liked this one I found of android man wearing a circus like jacket that snags the Apple logo with a cane and then he comes back on dancing. If data/drm doesn't work, do system/customize/resource.
The boot animation goes in data/local, make sure you give it full permissions also just to make sure it sticks
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
What do you mean give it full permission?
and I haven't touched that data/drm folder yet, so maybe that's it. I wanted to put the dancing android guy as the boot animation and the party rock anthem ringtone mp3 that I grabbed. I want that song to play while the boot animation is goin. So its like the android guy is dancing to the party rock anthem hahaha. Do I put the mp3 in that data/drm folder as well?

Well I've cleared out all the bootanimation.zip files from the phone to try and get no boot animation so I can start from there. I'm still getting the "EVOlvedRoms" boot animation. How the hell is that? lol Any Idea what I'm missing. I even moved the bootanimation.zip.orig to my sdcard from system/customize/resource
You need to go to data/local

Gahhhhhhhhh I'm getting ready to pull my hair out with this boot animation stuff. Where's this hidden "EVOlvedROM" bootanimation file???? I can have no bootanimation.zip files on the phone at all, and it still loads that boot animation for the ROM. I've put mine in...I've changed permissions ....I've done everything I can think to do. I've taken all the suggestions on this thread so far, and I still see "EVOlvedROMS" when I boot the phone up. It's a nice animation, BUT I wanna figure out how to change it and I can't. It's been days now ....any new suggestions out there? I even sent a message to the guy who posted the ROM, and he hasn't messaged me back at all
Man that sucks, here is my set up data/local then inside local HTC_bootanimation.zip

<BootAnimation animation="/data/local/hTC_bootanimation.zip" audio="/system/customize/resource/android_audio.mp3" />
this is from that roms default.xml that is how its suppose to be named and where it goes. when using root explorer you have to make sure the permissions are rw-r-r
user: read and write checked
group:read checked
other: read checked
Yes it is the one you can't find
