The search feature on xda hasn't been working for me, so I was hoping someone could direct me to a thread that explains creating custom boot animations for the G2. I am familiar with the process on the G1 and I have broken down the contents of others' files, but I'm still poking in the dark and don't want to mess things up.
Thanks

Hi everyone, I changed my boot animation using the app Boot Animation Changer. However now I need to return my phone to the store so I kind of need to get it back to the original boot animation. With the app I did "Stock animation" however it's not the right animation lol.
Is there anywhere I can get the stock boot animation to put on my phone, and how to do so with/without the app?
Thanks everyone

<ps, search first>
Great topic, but it doesn't provide the stock boot animation like I'm looking for, only the means to change the boot animation. I tried to search for it actually, but couldn't find anything in regards to finding the original EVO boot animation.
Anyone? Can't seem to find the stock animation.
^^; Doesn't anyone have a backup they could provide?
here is the stock bootanimation: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VMX4Z1ZG
you could also find it on any rom that uses stock bootanimation like DC (extract the zip file, go to resources>customize> and the bootanimation.zip should be there)

Oh I had no idea about it being on the ROMs, that would've been a lot easier. Thanks. :lol:
Though now with the new OTA I'm somewhat afraid to replace my phone, might just stick with my phone and the light leak as long as it doesn't get any worse.
I've spent much of the morning searching to no avail. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
I want to make a custom boot animation that is simply a toast box that says "Welcome Will......One moment please." Or something such.
I want it kinda like Myn's boot, except my words instead of "warm2.2" Is there a simply way to do this other than learning how to create custom boot screen animations?

As far as I know, cause I have done the same searching, the only way is to learn how to create a custom boot animation. Or you can ask one of the awesome devs here to make on for you like nugglyunlimited or stoney 666. They have done great work for me in the past on splash screen and helping with boot animations. Hope this helps
I thought it would be easy. On warm 2.2, the boot screen looks like a system generated "toast" box. In Warm there is no animations really. So perhaps there is a config file somewhere that has the words "warm2.2" (and whatever else the the message says).
No, you need to modify the bootanimation.zip file. It essentially just contains a bunch of PNGs that are shown in succession to create an "animation".
There is no bootanimation file on myn's. At least not in system/media...
I am actually on mikfroyo right, bit I looked inside Myn's Rom.zip and didn't see a boot animation file.
I know where they are at and how to change the .png....I just don't see it in Myn's Rom. That is why I was thinking a script that runs his message at boot "Warm2.2"
i am new to this site and i am wondering a few things, i really like the whole just droid boot animation and stuff but i don't know how to add that, i know how to add roms and stuff i have them on right now idr which one since i keep changing looking for a one with a cool boot animation and lock screen i was so sick of the evo's slide down i rooted my phone..
if anyone could inform me how to like add on to a rom, i like apply the zip of the rom but i can't do anything else i tried adding a zipped theme but it didnt work and said aborted.

You didn't have to root to change the lockscreen. You can fully customize it with Widgetlocker. It's a few bucks, but more than worth it. Look it up & check out the WL themes thread as well, there's some great stuff there.
I wouldn't base my rom on the bootanimation & lockscreen, as both can easily be changed. To change the bootanimation, you either need a flashable zip specific for your rom, knowledge of adb, or Root Explorer or another root-level file explorer. Find the boot animation you want to use and download it. If it isn't a flashable zip, you'll need to know where your rom stores the boot animation. On Sense based roms, the boot animation is stored in system/customize/resource. With Root Explorer (or an alternative) change the name of the original boot animation, and move the one you want to that folder, ensuring it's named bootanimation.zip then set permissions.
There are threads with lists of boot animations available to download, or apps that allow you to browse/install from their list.
If you're having trouble flashing through recovery, I suggest switching to Amon Ra. Whatever you tried to flash was probably amend scripted. Once you've switched recoveries, remember to do a backup!
I also suggest learning more about being rooted before making any significant changes. Know what & why you're doing something before you do it. Good luck & have fun
I'm learning to dig around in Android and start customizing things. I've run into a couple questions I thought I'd post and see if the more experienced guys can point me in the right direction. It's worth noting that I'm brand new to the Android platform. I'm not inexperienced with programming at all, and I'm more than willing to do the research and legwork required.
1) I'm looking to edit my services.jar to remove the clock and alarm icon in the status bar (following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780614). Since the stock ROM is odexed, I don't have a classes.dex file to mess with. What's the best way to proceed? Should I manually deodex my phone (by following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765270 in order to be able to make the changes, or is there another way to do it?
EDIT: I might have found another way to accomplish this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11460654. **Doesn't work** screen goes blank after boot animation (still accessible via adb though, odd)
2) Going back to the stock kernel from zedomax v3 (to get root on stock) I lost jerdog's boot animation. I also obviously lost CWM. Am I able to rename his mod to update.zip and use the built in recovery? Can you even run custom boot animations on the stock kernel?
Cheers
Another question that popped into my head recently: can you mix and match nandroid backups? For instance, if I want CWM on the rooted stock kernel, could I just slap the recovery.img from a backup of zedomax v3 into the backup of my rooted stock setup?
I have just started using the kitchen manly for the purpose to de-odex stock rom and use. But since starting there's a bunch of stuff would really like to mod. The big one for now is getting the rom to allow boot image modification. I have tried changing bootanimation folder but will not work.
Have since found under option 8 - show working order of your rom, the custom boot animation allowed is set to "no". And I have tried most things to get to yes but with no joy.
Any advice to what settings I should be trying to achieve throughout the kitchen would be much appreciated. Thx in advance......:good:
