When I turn on my phone I want it to say/show "Droid" followed by the sprint HTC Evo 4g bootup screen/sound too.
I would do this but It's probably going to be harder than putting both in the same folder as the timing has to be matched.....
I am almost certain that the system for EVO only allows 1 splash pic, 1 boot up animation & 1 mp3. I was able to use pushboot and change my bootsound to say DROID and animation to the Droid eye thanks to a thread by 12maNy.
Copy and paste this [BOOT ANIMATION] Custom Boot Animation by 12MaNy into Google and it will bring you to his thread. I am new to the forum so I am blocked from inserting links at the moment.
Good Luck!!
Yeah I figured you only can have one zip file. But I'm thinking you can glue both of the sips together making them one zip file
with both animations together in one zip ? Eh?

It's not that hard as it's made out to be. if i get a sec, I'll see what i can do. you don't need two zips, you only need to unzip the sprint boot animation and also the droidx. Delelet all the animation after the words Droid are shown and put them in the same folder as the sprint animation, then rename the pics to follow one another In other words you will have to move the sprint numbers down, so you can rename the Droid pics to start first. as for the MP3's you will have to run them through a program that allows for creating one mp3 out of two.
Thanks abu if you get around to it

ok I'll give this a try
update: hmmm something didn't go right. Put the animation.zip file in pushboot folder. Then opened the splice.zip folder and got the MP3 file out and put it inside the pushboot folder beside the animation.zip file. Then clicked pushboot2, followed the directions into recovery mode. Told me to reboot my phone and I still get the sprint 4g bootup screen. hmm
I'll test it tonight.

It probably loops after so many frames.
Boot animation plays droid then the original sprint 4g bootup with the sound.
The sound is timed to how it plays on my evo so ymmv.

i went ahead and resized the droid boot animation to fit the G1 and it look great and works well. may do droid x and incredible later on. for ppl with the x and incredible plz extract the boot animation.zip file and send it to me by using adb
Code:
adb pull /system/media/bootanimation.zip C:\users\[your name]\desktop
here is the link
Download
add it with adb by typing in:
Code:
adb push C:\[file location]\bootanimation.zip /data/local/bootanimation.zip
to remove it to go back to the original boot screen, use adb and type:
Code:
adb shell rm /data/local/bootanimation.zip
this does require root for the purpose of installing eclair/froyo to use it.
happy modding
im having a small problems, that i hope you can clear for me.
(not with the process of sending a new bootanim to the phone)
sooo.. steps im doing...
create frames of animation (24bit PNG files, 220x220)
put them in two different folders,
create conf file,
pack up into bootanimation.zip and adb push it to the phone...
yet all im getting is black screen...
are my png files not correct?
zip program? (im using winrar to zip it to bootanimation.zip)

sorry for not responding. didnt realize i had my old email in my profile so the email notifications werent working.
Thank you
Thank you, it looks pretty nice on my Mytouch 3G...
Best regards
This is awesome! Thank you for putting this together for everyone. I do wish that I could have the cool "droid" voice on bootup (while the animation is going) but I will have to do some more research on how to do it correctly. If anyone wants to take a stab at it, the soundfile is available via the zedge app. If I get it working I'll zip it myself and put it up here for the dev to add to the OP.
Thanks again!

it actually needs to be in a separate folder (the sound bite) but afaik it doesnt work with the G1 or MT3G
can i install it via terminal emulator
No you would need root manager or ghost droid

Does anyone know what the underlying mechanism for running the boot animation is? I have Android 2.2 on an HTC Incredible and replaced the VZW_Droid.mp3 and VZW_bootanimation.zip with some animations I did, but all I get on boot is a blank screen. Do the files in the zip have to be named the same way, or do they just have to be in alphabetical order?
Thanks!

post the animation zip file you are tryin to use and I will see if there are any obvious issues with it
I did a quick search and found this, not sure if this is what your looking for!

Cool, thanks guys. I will post when I get back home. I've been doing some searching as well and it seems that you have to set the compression mode to "store" when you create the archive. Not sure where to do this on a mac, but I'll see if I can figure it out.
As a side note, does anyone know what the fields in the desc.txt file are? I figured out the first two are image size, but any idea what the third number on the first line is? Frame rate maybe? And then the next lines specify directories, but I have no clue what the numbers in front of them mean.
Arg, sorry - second paragraph of questions answered in the thread IncredibleDoes posted...
SOLVED
Alright, the "store" problem was the issue. According to the zip documentation, "store" compression doesn't actually compress the files, it just archives them (I guess similar to .tar). So once I did that it worked fine. For anyone else using a Mac from the command line its
Code:
zip -r -Z store desc.txt part0 VZW_bootanimation.zip
You can, of course, specify other directories as well. The sound also started working once the animation did, nothing special there.
And now, I've posted the animation I made. Nothing special, I'm just a big half life fan and whipped this up with my very limited animating skills. Enjoy!
Hmm...won't let me upload the .mp3 file. I guess message me if you want it...
Hey all. I'm having trouble adding a custom boot animation. I've been trying to use adb push to move it to /data/local/. It seems to work initially. Cmd shows it moved over the full zip file and I can see it in my phone with root explorer but when I restart my phone it just uses the default animation. I'm trying to switch to the bios boot animation that I've found on the forums. Ive only had my Incredible for about a week so its mainly stock other than rooted. Any advice? Thanks

My boot animation is actually in /system/customize/resource, maybe you could try sending it there and see if it works? Also, just checking, it is named bootanimation.zip right? I believe that matters lol, not sure. I'm sorry if I wasn't helpful, I don't exactly know much about boot animations tbh.

Yeah, it has the right name but still isn't working even in the folder you suggested. Also the zip file just has the part0, part1, and desc.txt files in it so I'm not sure exactly what the problem is. I'm pretty new to the droid scene. Thanks for trying though.
Finally! After a lot of searching I found out it needs to be named VZW_bootanimation.zip and the sound file is VZW_Droid.mp3 with Froyo at least. It actually is in /system/customize/resource/ after all. I just didn't scroll that far down since I didn't know about the name change. It does replace the stock animation file though so I saved it in another folder before replacing it in case I ever want to go back. Thanks for the help
The file name and location depend on the ROM being used.
Alright starting to get a bit frustrated while trying to put a downanimation on my DHD. I know in Sergio stated in his FAQ that the downanimation and bootanimation can now be found in /data/local and I really liked the coredroid bootanimation but wanted to use my bios one to go with my windows troll splash img.
Anyway I have converted the coredroid boot into a downanimation by changing images from jpg to png and then using the method found in Monx®'s thread to make sure it was zipped properly. But just comes up with a blank screen on reboot or shutdown.
Tried a couple of others and still get a blank screen, so just wondering if any1 else has the same problem?
it comes blank because zip file aint properly zipped... did u changed compression method to store in winrar ? or just send me the stuff and i will get it done for you and save u the hassel
Edit : oh snapp.. just noticed.. the file you pushed to data/local is it named bootanimation or downanimation ? if its downanimation.. then rename it to bootanimation... downanimations are not in data/loca

Thanks for the quick reply. I have attached my coredroid downanimation.zip which I had renamed to downanimation.zip before pushing it. As i said, I made sure compression was set to store.
I first pushed this to /data/local as it says to in Scabes' Coredroid FAQ

Then got a blank screen with both the coredroid downanimation and some other shutdown animations I have found in the DHD theme and apps section.
Then tried the chmod 777 to /system/customize/resource and was getting a blank screen and now cant turn the phone off, just keeps rebooting
EDIT:
couldnt attach downanimation haha

Not a reboot cycle, just wont turn off. I can use the phone but when I try to turn off the phone with power button to either shutdown or reboot, I get blank screen where down animation should b, give it a few seconds and straight away bootanimation comes up with out my splash image.
Used recovery and I'm back to my last backup before I started playing around with with boot/down animations and circle battery mod. Then push bootanimation back now that works.
Have yet to retry the downanimation yet.
Also just wondering does downanimation images have to be .png? or can they be jpg

i wanted to do it for ya but too many pics in the zip.. gona take me long time but im really busy sorry... but lemme make you a quick guide...
1. change all the pics to .png format
2. rename the pics to the name of the folder.. in ur case folder is coredroid so name the pics to coredroid_01.png to everyone just change the numbers to the count of the pics
3. after u do that put coredroid folder and desc.txt in one folder.. now zip these two files.. tip zip and compression to store in winrar ... then do the same again tip zip. then chagne to store.. but then in the uper tabs click on files.. and then below see file paths.. change it to donot store file paths..
4. now double click the zip file to open with winrar... and delete all the pics except coredroid folder and desc.txt.. make sure .zip is renamed to downanimation.zip if it isnt already
5. get root explorer and paste it to where ever ur downanimation.zip is and Hoalah!!! Njoy
I found this file here that changes the default Droid boot animation to make it look like a Windows OS BIOS startup.

[UPDATE]: I figured since I posted it, id try it. ClockWork errored out on it but luckily the phone still booted back up just fine.
Actually it is for HTC Desire, and that file has a SystemUI.apk in it and could potentially F UP ur ROM. just as caution.

hmm... there is a SystemUI.apk file on the Incredible 2 in /system/app
i haven't tried it out yet myself though as i just barely put that black screen on.
[EDIT] that .zip file also has a "bootanimation.zip" file placed in /system/customize/resource/ and on the Incredible 2 there is also a bootanimation.zip file in the exact same place.

I am well aware of both files. I have my splash screen and boot animation edited to my liking. but any android phone running gingerbread has a SystemUI.apk.. and that isn't compatible with our phone. not every boot animation or splash screen will work either.. we are 480 x 800 BTW..
