This has been driving me crazy. I promise I am not an idiot but I have been trying to get a modified boot animation to work for about a week now and have posted in the other threads too.
I cannot for the life of me get any other boot animation except the stock to run.

Just like everyone says.
I download the zip to my sdcard, used root explorer to copy and paste it to data/local.
Reboot and nothing.
If I paste it in system/media it boots up to a solid black screen and takes forever.

Ive figured a lot of stuff out as I found a site that explains the desc.txt file. The problem i'm having is that I simply can't load all of the screens before the phone boots lol, there's like 300+ PNG's to load between the two animation folders.
Well u might need to up the frame rate to make it play a little faster
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
Ill download and lood at it tonight or tomorrow and see what I can do
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
Thanks for the advice dude, ive played with the frame rate..like..a lot lol. Atleast i'm pretty sure. The default file should be set at 210p just to load the whole thing on a stock droid 1 at the time.
Ive played with it and trimmed some of the fat off like multiple black screens and such but it's still not enough. Thanks for your time, it really is a cool animation
This is also booting on CM RC2 which boots fast as crap anyways lol.
Yea I noticed the boot times are shorter which is cool but it cuts into our animation lol

This is a basic theme that changes the H icon for HSPA in the status bar to a 4G icon for CM7.0.2 Final and Nightly 41-42.
I've included a Flashable Zip for CWR and an Icon pack if you would rather do it yourself.
Let me know how it goes and if you like the theme.
As for special requests for 4G icons, please attach a copy of SystemUI.apk if you're on 2.3, a copy of Framework-res.apk if you're on 2.2 or a copy of the theme APK if it's a ThemeManager theme. I just cant download or find every rom or theme that is requested.

You could just use the images and copy and replace them in the apk and adb push. Back up first because playing with framework files can soft brick devices easily (boot loop)

Pull the framework-res.apk from your rom and pm the file and I'll post it up after editing and zipaligning it. Or you can just use ninjamorph and use the icon pack.

open up your zip rom folder on the computer, then go /system/framework/framework-res.apk and drag that apk file out, open that apk, best and easy with 7-zip program and put them in there, just close it up after, saves itself.. and adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework
same with Anroidian.apk and Cyanbread.apk

1. Use root explorer or adb to pull SystemUI.apk from the system/app folder
2. On your computer rename SystemUI.apk to SystemUI.apk.zip
3. Open SystemUI.apk.zip (dont extract just open archive) using 7zip and go to res\drawable-hdpi folder
4. From the 4Gicons.zip posted in the OP copy the 8 png's and paste them into the System.apk.zip in res\drawable-hdpi.
5. Rename SystemUI.apk.zip back to SystemUI.apk
6. Zipalign APK(Step not absolutely necessary but optimizes the apk) put SystemUI.apk into tools folder of AndroidSDK. Open compand prompt and run this line "zipalign -v 4 SystemUI.apk SystemUIzipaligned.apk". A new APK called SystemUIzipaligned.apk will be created in the tools folder. Rename it back to SystemUI.apk
7. Use root explorer or Adb to push SystemUI.apk back to system/app folder
8. Using root explorer long press on SystemUI.apk and select permissions, place checks to User: read and write; Group read; Others: read, leave all other unchecked. ( i dont know how to change permissions using adb, this step might not be necessary if you dont have root explorer)
8. SystemUI.apk might force close constantly after copying it back. So, turn of screen of the phone, then back on but dont unlock, then hold power button and choose power off or reboot.
9.And your done
Here's a flashable zip I made you for GingerVillian 1.5 if you dont want to go through all those steps: 4Gicons-theme-GV15.zip

Just download any boot animation and look at the format.
You basically just need to arrange your frames (.PNG's) in order in a folder (name images "XXXXX_00000, XXXXX_00001, XXXXX_00002, XXXXX_00003.....etc.). If you have more than 80 or so frames, then use two folders, but try to split the frames between the two folders. Name the first folder "android" and the second folder "loop". Now, you'll need a .txt file that has contains the following code:
Code:
480 480 10
p 1 0 android
p 0 0 loop
Name this file "desc". Now, zip it all up with 7-Zip, or WinZip (no compression) and there you go.

I even tried having my pngs renamed to what the stock boot has them. With 7zip I replaced the android folder with the new one.

Are all of your frames 480 X 800, and are they all the same size? Also, try using a .txt file from another bootanimation. Might be a problem with the .txt file you're using.
Also, I had problems with winzip. Try using 7-zip...and check to make sure there aren't any other files in your .png folders other than your .pngs
Did all of the above. I replaced the pngs in the stock boot animation folder with the new ones.

Maybe try making your own .PNG folders, then select your images and move them there. Only thing you should borrow from another bootanimation is the desc.txt file. Make sure you zip it yourself too....no compression.
If you still have trouble...upload what you got and PM me the link. I'll try messing with it in the morning.
I did make my own android folder but I deleted the original android folder and replaced it with the new android folder I made. I didn't make a whole new zip. I'll try that tomorrow. I didn't think modding a zip (using 7zip to change contents) would make a big difference since I do it with apks to change things all the time.
If I post a link to what I have, would you mind packing something up for me?

I have complied the original post's off all the bootanimation threads in the G2/DZ forum. Feel free to add your bootanimations to this list. Please do not ask questions in this thread. It is only intended to have final bootanimations.
[WIP] Post Your Bootanimations Here
I really like the stock G2 boot image, but without being animated, it felt very stiff and boring. So I added some animation to it. It's very simple, with the fading grey lines at the top and bottom moving to the left slowly:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(this is a low quality GIF, the actual animation looks better, I promise)
I made this mostly for myself, but it turned out better than I expected so I wanted to share it. This is my very first boot animation, so be gentle in your criticism. This is an 800x480 boot animation, so it should work on other devices with that screen resolution, though I don't know why you'd want a G2 boot screen on your Nexus One or Droid Incredible.
To use this animation, use adb or a root explorer app to put the file in /data/local and make sure it's named bootanimation.zip. The file is attached below, or you can download it from MediaFire.
UPDATE: I just finished the modified version of this boot animation that replaces the T-Mobile logo with the HTC logo. Aside from that, they're the same. The new one is attached below, or you can grab it from MediaFire.
Enjoy!

I didn't make the original work. I just modified the information so that it tailored the specs of the G2.
Code:
adb devices (optional, only to see if adb sees your phone)
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
(if this doesn't work, try pushing to /system/media also)
Now to test if it worked type:
Code:
adb shell bootanimation
<press ctrl+c to quit>
Info on BIOS is for G2.

First off, thanks to mrdaviso for script and instructions from spiicytuna.
My apologies to amazinglarry311, credit goes to him/her for the enablesound script.
enablebootsound scripts can be found here:
Enable Sound Boot
Here's how I did it:
Flash zip file from recovery.
reboot
Place android_audio.mp3 on sdcard root (change name of android_audio.zip to android_audio.mp3)
adb shell(I am assuming you are root)
enablebootsound(mine wasn't already enabled)

You can also use this script to install bootanimation now. ( I still prefer the old way)
place bootanimation.zip on sdcard root

and I will attach the bootanimation.zip
For those that dont know. All you have to do is take the .zip, rename it to bootanimation.zip and copy it to the /system/media folder. Backup your old boot file if you want.
Edit: Found a ported version for the droid x that looks pretty good going to attach that. I also attached two landscape bootanimations. One has the Honeycomb Bee at the beginning and the other doesnt. Just thought you guys might want to see it.

****Disclaimer!!! I am not responsible for any errors or issues that may come from using these directions. This method has been tested and used by me on the T-Mobile G2 ONLY.****
Ok, I like playing with boot animations on my device. And I have this quirk for running everything I can on the device, rather than through ADB, unless I have to. While digging through assorted threads, here and abroad, I ran across a nifty app called GScript lite, free on the Market, and amazingly useful. On another thread, someone pointed out that if you copy a boot animation to /data/local, it will take precedence over any boot animations that your favorite ROM may install. So, I decided to simplify changing boot ani's, so I can swap them around whenever I feel like it. I now have it down to about 30 sec, and decided to post this for everyone interested to try it. Ok, so, here's the details;
Requirements: GScript lite, file manager, new boot animations
1) Download the animation you want to try to your SDcard
2) Copy the zip to /mnt/sdcard
3) Rename animation file "bootanimation.zip"
4) Open GScript and hit menu
a) Type in whatever you want to call the script in the top
box
b) Make sure "Needs SU?" is checked
c) Type cp /mnt/sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local
<enter>
reboot
d) Now hit "save"
5) Just press your scriptname in the list and enjoy!
From here on out, to change boot animations, all you need to do is copy the renamed file to SD root, and click on that script, phone will reboot showing your brand new animation. "Share and Enjoy!"
I'd like to thank the GScript devs for a very useful tool, and Kaanha for the commands
Click the Thanks button if this helps you.

Bootanimation for CM7.
"CM7-3D"
1. Download bootanimation.zip
2. Put it on your sdcard
3. open terminal enter these commands:
su
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /system/media/
reboot
If it doesn't work in /system/media, try in /system/local
You can also use any root explorer app to move this from your sd card manually.
DO NOT TRY AND FLASH FROM RECOVERY, IT DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY.
Enjoy.

Here are some bootanimations I created. Some of these are pointless. I just made them to mess with my friends.
Im open to input, sugestions, etc....as I want to create a more smoother version.
::Instruction::
Download the zip and place it in /system/media
You should already have a file named bootanimation.zip...simply replace it with the downloaded one, of course renaming to bootanimation.zip
If it doesn't work in /system/media than
try in /system/local

You all should know the warnings, so dont bother unless you know what your doing.

This version is different from the first version. I thought the images looked better, however I had to play with them in order to get a good enough flow.
I also added an old school ending.

Was about to say that lol. Good work tho.
I know you probably intend to create an animation, with thoes files, but with the current setup, you could have just left it with one png and set the fps to 1 ...since there is no animation.
Cant wait to see what you crank out...feel free to share.
Goodluck.

I need help though. I find it very hard to find gifs at 480x800. Does this mean that if I have to make my own?

btw the gif is laggier than the bootanimation because the gif has a lower framerate than what I set for the bootanimation

This is a port of another boot animation I saw in another thread (if anyone knows which one, let me know and I'll give the original author credit). If you want the added "fatality dun-dun-dunnnnnnn" sound, download the attached "android_audio.zip" file, unzip it, and put it in /system/media (if you're running a CM-based Gingerbread build like GingerVillain 1.5 or PyroMod 1.1, rename finishhim.zip as bootanimation.zip, put android_audio.mp3 and bootanimation.zip on the root of your SD card, and follow this guide).
*psst...this boot animation might be illegal in Australia *

Hey Guys. Here is the boot animation extracted from the Destroyed ROM which, to the best of my knowledge, was only available for the EVO. I I thought it looked pretty cool so I had my friend extract it for me and I thought I'd share it with you guys. I hope you like it!
Installing:
I'm not sure how other people like to install their boot animations, however if you don't know how here is how I do it:
*Must have super user permissions
1.Download and Open Terminal Emulator from the android market
2.Download bootanimation.zip from this thread and put it on your sd card
3.Enter this code into Terminal Emulator:
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
cp /locationOfFile/bootanimation.zip /system/media
where the /locationOfFile/bootanimation.zip would just be the directory where you have the zip file. if you just put it on the root of your sd card it would be /sdcard/bootanimation.zip and if you downloaded it using your phone it would probably be under /sdcard/download/bootanimation.zip
restart your phone and it should work. Hope this helps!
Edit:
*Be sure to backup your old bootanimation.zip if you think you may ever want to go back to it!

Hello, I tried searching around but couldn't find any similar problem.
I've created my own bootanimation.zip which can be downloaded here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=576GF823 Its Red Wings Related, showing the Center Ice at Joe Louis Arena, then an awesome goal by zetterberg, then loops center ice again. That all works great.
The problem I've run into is that the first time it plays any of the animations they are slow. and when I'm only playing the goal once it goes in slow mo, if i loop it, the 2nd time it plays fast as it should. Is there anyway to fix this? I originally was just doing the goal, then the center ice on loop. I tried putting 1 center ice first, hoping it would take the lag and allow the goal to play full speed, but it doesn't.
Any help is appreciated.
Omg so kewls
I would seriously enjoy a boot animation done with the Android Police video Intro.

I just double checked all the links and they work on the desktop but I do get a error message if trying to access the website from my phone. But thanks to tdj's new changes, you can change the user agent in the stock browser now. So just set the user agent to chrome and try it then. Or just download it from a computer. Let me know if you still have issues!
Roger that. I clicked from xda on phone and my default browser is dolphin. Thanks for these.

Chrome is not an option in dolphin browser, I tried desktop and that didn't work either.
No, I meant I originally tried with Dolphin and failed. With Darkside 2.5 you can change user agent in stock browser to chrome but it still don't work. I downloaded via PC through the wicked slow host (5-6 KBps) and had to mount data and system in recovery to make it work. Looks good thanks!

Should I try a different host? TDJ used this for one of his darkside releases so I just picked it up from that. I get fine download speeds but if it's a major issue I'll relocate the files. I'll also make the mounting standard because it won't hurt and seems to be more universal
I used skyfire and zero issues downloading.

Yes! All mods work for 2.5. As some users have pointed out, you'll have to set your mobile browser to desktop or download them from a desktop.
Working great... using the Green HoneyComb and must say its pretty impressive... thanks!
Is there any way to keep the existing theme and have this just change the battery icon? After I did the mod, all my other icons went from the candy theme to gray.

Unfortunately it doesn't work that way since both mods replace the systemui.apk and framework-res.apk with their own versions. I'll look into releasing certain mods with the more popular themes but I can't promise anything since I'm new to manually making modifications to the files.
I have actually figured out how to incorporate the battery mods into any theme or mod! It's not quite as easy as flashing something in CWM, but all it requires is just having 7zip and adb and/or ES file explorer/Root explorer. Would people be interested enough for me to post the files and the process?
Yes. That would be great.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
To use this battery mod in conjunction with other mods/themes for DW:
You will need:
1) 7zip
2) ADB***
3) A ROM/mod that already uses 1% battery increments (should not be a problem for any DW mods or themes)
***I'm currently looking into how to do this without ADB and just using built in file explorers. I'm not sure if it's possible so I've just gone ahead and posted this first but I've tried it a few ways and the transfer won't complete without freezing the phone. If anyone knows how to replace the framework-res.apk without using ADB, let me know!
Installation with ADB:
STEP 0: ALWAYS NANDROID FIRST
1) Boot your phone to recovery; go to Mounts and Storage; mount /system
2) Plug your phone into your computer; open up command prompt on your PC; type this line of code (this will pull the system file you need to modify to your desktop):
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk c:\users\(YOURNAME)\desktop
3) Download the kit version of the battery mod you want to use
4) Extract (NOT OPEN) the images from the kit (right click on the .zip --> extract)
5) Right click on the framework-res.apk file you pulled and under "7-zip" click "Open archive" (NOT EXTRACT). You'll have a window of the contents of framework-res.apk
6) Follow this file path: res > drawable-hdpi
7) Now take all of the images that you extracted from your kit and drag and drop them into your 7-zip window. (At the confirmation window, hit "Yes")
8) Close out of the 7-zip window
9) Go back to the command prompt and type this:
cd c:\users\(YOURNAME)\desktop
10) Then type this:
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework
11) Reboot! No need to clear cache/dalvik/fix permissions
*Replace (YOURNAME) with your windows username
*Pay attention to correct use of forward slash and backward slash (forward for linux/unix commands, backwards for windows commands)
Use rom toolbox to install or rename to bootanimation.zip and place in system/media using root explorer
Note rom toolbox defaults to data/local
This directory will work too but if u cwm flash another boot ani later, it will not take, data/local has priority, so change it in rom toolbox or pull the bootanimation out of the cwm zip [zip within a zip]
You must also
Navigate to system/media
Delete or rename bootsamsungloop.qmg and bootsamsung.qmg
Navigate to system/bin
Delete or rename samsungani
Rename bootanimation to samsungani
Update, the previous segment dose not need to be done in most if not all roms for this device now.
Update, That also means that the following will not restore stock boot animation if that is the case.
Now if you want to revert back to stock
Rename samsungani to bootanimation
Take _bk off the ends of the three other files.
If you deleated the files see the links at the bottem of the post.
To add stock shutdown to a rom rename bootsamsung.qmg to shutdown.qmg and place in system/media/video
You may haft to make the folder called video
IMPORTANT NOTE: TO DO BOOT ANIMATION MODS NO CHANGE OF PERMISSIONS IS NECESARY
If I helped you find a boot animation u like, please hit that thanks button
Update, spinning mario not working.

Further note, you can resize any png img boot ani using desc
If the imgs r jpeg you must convert them to ping then edit the desc, or resize every img if that did not work.
Imgs with transparancys MUST BE RESIZED
Change first two values in desc to 720 1280
Zip part0 and other parts n desc.txt to root of zip, using winrar and make sure its a .zip and your just storing, no compression
DO NOT ZIP THE PARENT DIRECTORY
THAT IS EXTREAMLY IMPORTANT
ONLY ZIP THE FOLDERS PART0 ECT AND DESC.TXT TO THE ROOT OF THE ZIP

If its 720x1280 it will work regardless of phone make or model also since the imgs are pngs the desc file can be changed to your screen resolution n they will work. Tested on note ii, samsung precedent, and htc evo and inspire.

Thanks OP. Couldn't stand the T-Mobile boot! Boot up and down sounds are in system/media/audio/ui, PowerOff.ogg and PowerOn.ogg. Disabled mine for now but I'm sure we can replace them with whatever we want. +1 on down animation! BTW here's a link to a ton of bootanimations in our resolution....

Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2
to set the boot ani you have to delete a few files and rename some files. I would just love a little app that "does this" with a click so I can then just use rom toolbox to install whatever ani I want
When I make the cwm installs you can flash one of those and it will do that work and then just use rom toolbox
Make sure ur rom toolbox is pointed to system/media it defaults to data/local. If u have already been using rom toolbox go and delete this file

Thanks for this info, OP.
Will this also replace the "static" Samsung graphic screen that displays before the animation?
If it doesn't, can you direct me to instructions that explains how to replace it with my own?
Thanks in advance.

I believe the splash screen is kernel here not for our phone but samsung....http://rootzwiki.com/topic/29242-ep4dfp1hfp5emododin-change-boot-splash-image
splash is kernel and it should be changeable. they got a fix for it on the S3 but I am pretty sure its not nearly the same CPU in the two (S3 Note II) so it likely won't work for us till someone makes a similar fix for us.
I will see if I can dig up anything

I am a little confused about the stepsi have to take to change the boot animation. I understand about deleting the files in system/media and system/bin but it's unclear to me what to do work the downloaded boot animation. Am I just renaming the file to"bootanimation"and putting it in system/media?
Second question is will this get rid of the boot sounds if the downloaded bootanimations are silent?
just install rom roolbox. once you delete and rename the files you can just tell rom toolbox to install whatever boot animation you want.
I tried doing all these things manually with root explorer. I did everything as per the OP's instructions. I downloaded the alien animation and renamed it to bootanimation.zip and put it in system/media and renamed it to samsungani and put it in system/bin. When my phone boots I still have the annoying sprint audio boot but my animation is a blacked or screen.
