Ive been trying to port this animation and haven't really gotten anywhere. I thought I had an idea but i'm pretty sure it's bunk due to the size of this animation (somewhere around 15megs for the OG droid). Anyone have any advice on how to get this working with the G2?
Here's the youtube for it.

Here is the bootanimation.zip that was developed for the droid 1 earlier this year, I had a tough time finding it as every site link was broken, what's up with that?

Any help would be appreciated, at first I would somewhat play but now all it does is just jump straight to the home screen (no animation whatsoever).
BTW, I saw that there were a couple other boot animation threads here however I didn't want to thread jack with questions about this animation. If this is deemed redundant then it's cool to get rid of it, just frustrated right now.
The g2 is probably booting too fast for the entire animation to load and play.
That's what I was thinking, whouda thought that there would be a day that a phone would boot to fast. lol
I found a good site that explains the desc.txt which is what I was wanting to edit.
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/33932-bootanimation-zip-file-explained.html
So is this ultimately a no go?
If I were you I would just try incresing the fps from 30 to 60 and see if more of it shows.

Well, I managed to get it running again, was compressing it the wrong way after editing.
IDK, I think this phone just boots too fast for such a large animation, I mean...there's like 300+ PNG's to load before the phone boots. Maybe go even higher with the FPS? I doubt that would do anything.
If you went any higher I think you'd lose the effect of the boot animation. Running cyanogenmod from the beginning of the cyanogenmod animation to phone ready is about 6-7 seconds lol...

bumping a super old thread looking for support.
i saw the video for this bootanimation and thought it looked really good.
it is a rather large and lengthy bootanimation and i tried for a couple of hours trying to get it to at least show up on my g2 all night, but, got nothing.
i dont know what the problem could be though. i managed to get a bootanimation from over at the evo forums to work but cant get this one up and running.

is there anyway of going without a splash screen, and just having bootanimation run from the time you turn on phone till desktop pops up??
i have search forums cant find anything, or overlooked it.
As for no splash screen, I don't believe so. If you wanted, you could make a blank one of sort if it bothers you that much.
it doesnt bother me, hell got a custom one installed, i just have one bootanimation that gets cut off cause my phone loads fast, and i dont see whole bootanimation. so a blank one would do the same. but ty

Well if you needed it to be longer, you could try getting a different one, or decreasing the frames per second.
no you can't. the splash is a very basic image, that is executed by the boot.img alone, while the boot.img is loading the system. once the system is (at least partially) loaded, it can start the boot animation. correct me if i'm wrong (probably am) but i think that's how it works. either way, you need a splash.

teh metaldude strikes again. haven't seen him lately.
cool guys thanx for all the responding, i will stick with bootanimation i have. and to get full animation that i wanted i would to increase frames per sec. to see more of the animation instead of decreasing making it slower and seeing less of the animation. but again thanx for your help. glad i joined this forum it has been a big help since rooting my evo

Yea, increase...typo on my part. >> Though glad you got it resolved. And you're welcome, there are a few helpful people here.
Hello, all. I am a bit stuck on something and hope someone can help me. A while back I modified one of those BIOS boot animations to match the info on my Evo, and today I modified it to reflect my ROM change.
After editing, I got all the separate pictures back together and put them into an uncompressed ZIP file like I did before and put it back in place of the old boot animation, the only trouble is now when the animation runs, it seems like it is going about 2x as fast as it should.
I didn't decrease the number of pictures/frames and when you watch it, the actual animation is going crazy fast. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Looking for little help, i'm trying to add the walking dead theme song as my bootup sound, i have it as a mp3 and convereted it to wav, but it still shows it as to big, is there a program anyone can suggest to shorten the audio file...also would like to get some walking dead bootup and shutdown animation if possible. anyone up for the challenge?
well i found this free program http://www.boxoft.com/wav-to-mp3/ so i solved the sound issue. any takers on a good walking dead boot animation?
This would definitely be awesome. Hope someone takes the challenge on.

I am a HUGE walking dead fan. I would definitely rock this if someone takes up the challenge.
Meanwhile I will be scouring youtube for something that seems bootup animation worthy

I'm a big fan of the show..I think if u can get the episode when Sofia comes out of the barn and add the a part of the theme would be killer...maybe even Daryl riding his brothers bike would be good two..check out some torrent sites for the show and edit what u need....I would help more but no comp
here is a boot animation i made and i will load the theme for the walking dead power on sound

ok this is the swap method were you replace your bootanimation.zip , i used super manager from the market, then file explorer. then you copy the bootanimation from your sd card , then backup level folder then goto system folder then media, here you can add a 1 or something to the original bootanimation file then paste the new one, reboot and see what you think.......please do a backup prior to loading just incase there are any issues and you can easily go back to your original setup. message me if i can help any better or if i didnt explain it well.
OK I tryed the swap method right after I posted that last reply and well it bricked the phone sio I had to get my buddy over with his laptop cause I blue my comp up...but I would love to see this work but won't try again until I have a working comp..

I'm interested in it, unfortunately, I don't have /system root access (using CleanGB, but for some reason, it won't let me copy the files there). Am definitely monitoring this thread.
I've been a silent observer on this thread anticipating progress. My wife already has walking dead wallpaper, ringtone, and notification sounds from Zedge. Boot animation would be awesome!

Just by looking at it on my phone I can already spot a few issues. One being the wrong pic size within the desc.txt also with the labeling. Ill whip something up in a sec using what I got here. I honestly have never heard of the walking dead or else id take up more stuff including it
EDIT: ok so the images dont show up right so i need a new gif or video of something to use as a boot animation. Im not familiar with this show so its up to you guys what you want the boot animation to show..... let me know

You have never heard of The Walking Dead?!?!?
Anyway, If you make this thing polished and awesome I will be stoked in spite of it!!
Damn i'm sad to see that this thread never took off, sorry guys i just don't know enough to create good stuff , i'm still using the one i made and still love it, but i know someone could create a much better file. ;(
I can make existing animations work on ics, aokp.... whatever.... let me know
Ok, i've been searching around for the last hour in various places for a bootanimation i used to have on my Desire, as far as i can make out so far it's a mix between the Verizon Droid x advert and the Droid x red eye..........can't find it for love nor money, starts off with the human eye looking about, then morphs into the Droid eye looping. Anyone have it?
this is part of it.

Which then went into this sort of thing

And just realised i should have put this in the Q & A section!
this looks cool i want it as well!
I can't find it for the life of me, restored my laptop since i had it, and not got my Desire anymore........tried trawling on here and Phandroid forum but can't locate it.
Ok, i've eventually stumbled across the animation i had,

Just need to figure out WTF i have to do with it to get it onto the X
Please do as i also liked this very much
Well, i've got this one onto my phone, running LeeDrOiD rom (bootanimation in System/customize/resorce) , no idea if i have done it right, but it works......although there are a few frames that could do with a bit of work, some of the transition frames show lines form being different sized pictures originally. I have no photoshop skills at all and have no idea how i would go about adjusting these frames, struggling a little with the size as well, the red eye part is slightly stretched and no matter what i try when resizing the images i can't get it to look quite right.
Also, i tried to get the last set of frames from the original to loop, but when i tried doing this there was a noticable blank section before starting the loop, so i just renamed the frames again and again until it was just about long enough. Probably the completely wrong way of doing it but like i said...i know nothing!
try asking tattari for help, he is great with photoshop, and his team are all good devs.
Thanks, i'll send him a pm and see if he can offer any advice/help.
I have managed to get it in proportion now, although it doesn't quite fill the whole screen but still looks good.
The only problem i see with it is with 5 images in the transition between human eye to robot eye, you can see the lines from the picture being a different size.
I have pm'd the lad who made the original to make sure he is ok with me trying to get it on my X, but looking from his profile he doesn't come on here anymore. (CYBERxNUKE)
Almost got this ready, will be available soon.
Need someone to test this who has bootanimation in /data/local
Aroma installer works fine for /system/customize/resource, just need to check with other Bootanimation locations.
Why can't I manually copy the file? installer not needed I guess.where is the file that u want to test.I'll be glad to do it.

You could manually install it if you extract the bootanimation.zip, just trying to make it easier...i've Pm'd you the download link if you wish to try the installer. Also could you let me know if the delete bootsound option works?
Any feedback would be much appreciated.
Will probably be adding the release later on today
Released here
This might be a real simple thing but I havent seen it anywhere yet in the forums. Using the boot animation changer in ROM toolbox is really cool and today is the first day I actually have tried it. I am just wondering, now that I have the actual boot animation changed, I still have the gut wrenching ATT jingle that plays behind my boot animation. Whats the best way to either change it, or silence it? I still get the 2 LG boot logo's, but I assume that's not going anywhere until the bootloader (if ever) gets dealt with. Hey all, thanks for the help.
