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_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"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.
*Update* 01/03/11
All the updates are in! 800 MHz is made per request.
Added Gingerbread versions for those running 2.3!
Rename file to "bootanimation.zip", then follow instructions above.
Enjoy!
*Update* 02/28/11
Added CM6 and CM7 version for those using Flippy125's Kernel.
Okay...WE NOW HAVE SOUND!!
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)
newbootsound
You can also use this script to install bootanimation now. ( I still prefer the old way)
place bootanimation.zip on sdcard root
newbootanim
A "Thanks" will do.

Hi all. This isnt new but for those of you that havent found it yet this is the Xoom Honeycomb boot animation feel free to download. But I need assistance, after installing it when the animation ends and it is about to loop there is a quick flash to white screen and then it continues. Not too big of a deal but was wondering if anyone could help me, Im kind of a perfectionist but have no idea how to fix it myself. Thanks
Heres a vid of what it looks like
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSWnKu5hr7g&feature=player_embedded
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.
[WIP] Post Your Bootanimations Here
****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.

::Marvel:: V1.2 (3/21/11)
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.
Thanks to al28283 for making the video, and to everyone else in the community who made these mods possible!

Thanks and have fun!

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.

Here are four bootanimations I did.
Please be gentle, they are my first attemps.
Images:
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?
[WIP] Post Your Bootanimations Here
Enjoy!
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.

How to create your own boot animation [TUTORIAL]:
I have now created a tutorial for those folks who would like to create their own boot animations, head to post #3 of this thread for the tutorial, enjoy!!
[TUTORIAL] Create Your Own Boot Animation
Oldskool
Ok, firstly, do you like to keep things simple...do you like the stock glowing 'android' boot animation??
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If so, you'll be glad to know this is already included in your framework-res.apk located within whatever ROM you may be running! To activate it, just do the following:
Using a root file manager delete the following files (if they exist):
/system/media/bootanimation.zip
/data/local/bootanimation.zip
Reboot your phone.
Done!
To flash a custom boot animation:
Via ADB flash:
You can flash a boot animation using adb or by copying it to your SDcard and then to a location on your phone.
ADB - Permanent:
adb push /data/local
ADB - Semi-Permanent:
adb push /system/media
Thanks to Evostance for these instructions.
Example commands (you need to insert your own file path for the location of the bootanimation.zip on your local drive)
Code:
adb push [COLOR="Red"]c:\sdk\platform-tools\bootanimation.zip[/COLOR] /data/local
or
Code:
adb push [COLOR="Red"]c:\sdk\platform-tools\bootanimation.zip[/COLOR] /system/media
Thanks to Obselite for help with this clarification!
Via CWM Flashable ZIP file:
A few people have requested which animations are flashable via CWM recovery, to help out I have downloaded, emptied and made the flashing script more generic from an existing ZIP file. Thanks to the community for creating this file in the first place.
(If anybody finds any problems with this file please let me know and I will try to correct it)
- Download the attached file: Empty_CWM_bootanimationZIP_Flashable.zip
- Do not extract it, open it using a file explorer, drag and drop your desired bootanimation.zip into the /data/local/ directory within the zip file.
- Delete the Read Me files and flash as normal.
****Please ensure you read and delete the included read me files, I have tested this on my own Galaxy Nexus and it is working fine with a variety of boot animations, as always though you modify your phone at your own risk, be careful!****
My own boot animations (wilskywalker):
Ok, after much experimentation I finally managed to create my own animations, I have made two animations based on the hidden nyandroid animation in ICS 4.0 in the settings menu.
Thanks and credit to Google for including this great hidden extra and cancerouspete for the inspiration to use this source material. Please let me know what you think in this thread, thanks folks!
Cid Loading - My version of the new CyanogenMod mascot, hope people like it (credit to CyanogenMod for the original image). (Flashable via CWM Recovery)
Cid Loading - Black Background - As above but with black background.
Classic Dancing Green Android - Pretty self explanatory this one. (Flashable via CWM Recovery)
Nyandroid Pop Dance - This is a higher resolution version of the dancing ICS droid. (Flashable via CWM Recovery)
Nyandroid Pop - This is a simple blue background with the nyandroid pop animation. (Flashable via CWM Recovery)
Beemo Minimal (Flashable via CWM & TWRP Recovery)
Android Progress Bar Minimal (Flashable via CWM & TWRP Recovery)

Boot animation requests
Is there a particular animation you would like but are unable to make it yourself? If so then you have come to the right place, head to this post for more info:
Custom Boot Animation Requests
Many thanks to strumcat for this generous offer. Please follow his guidelines below if you wish to make a request:
If you'd like a custom boot animation of your name rotating, more or less like the one in the attachment, let me know. Can be any color, one of several fonts, outlined like mine, or solid, or reflective.
If you have a short video clip you'd like made into a boot animation, post it and I'll see what I can do. Video has to be playable on my computer. The bigger, the better for more quality. I can resize them down, but resizing up doesn't look good. Background is best black for blending into black screen, but not absolutely necessary. If you have an existing boot animation that's too big for your screen I can resize it for you.
I can do one request per day, chosen at random.
Please respect the developers stipulations...and as always people, no ETA's!
Boot modifications
Here is a great script by djmcnz that allows you to randomize a number of different animations each time you boot your phone:

Thanks to despotovski01 for creating this fantastic program which allows you to preview boot animations before you flash them, extremely useful!!
TUTORIAL: How to preview your Android boot animations on your computer by: despotovski01
External Links
RootzWiki: I am sure you are all aware of this great website, here is their boot animation forum.
I hope this helps some people out, if I have missed anything out, made any mistakes, or failed to credit someone please let me know in this thread and I will happily correct it.
Also, if you find any great boot animations optimized for Galaxy Nexus (on XDA or anywhere else) let me know in this thread and I will update this post, thanks for your help!
Ye I don't like it either, like you say it's quite low resolution and rather than the background being black it's more of a purple colour which really doesn't do the screen justice.
[TUTORIAL] Create Your Own Boot Animation
How to create your own boot animations:
you will need the following two programs:
7zip - 7zip.org External Link
Notepad++ - notepad-plus-plus.org External Link
Install both these programs before you begin.
Create desc.txt file:
Firstly lets create our 'desc.txt' file, this will tell your phone how to display the images you have chosen for your boot animation.
Using Notepad++ create a new file with the following attributes:
Code:
Normal text file
UNIX
ANSI
INS
You then need to type the following into that file:
Code:
[COLOR="Green"]720 1280 24
p X Y partZ[/COLOR]
[COLOR="red"]***blank line***[/COLOR]
Below is an explanation of what all this means and how to define your values:
720: animation width value
1280: animation height value
24: animation frames per second value
p: defines that a new animation section has begun.
X: how many times this animation part loops (0 will loop infinitely until the android system boots).
Y: defines a pause after this animation section has played (0-10 maximum).
Z: is the folder name where the images are located to be played in this section of the animation.
***blank line***: This is literally what it says, a blank line, type nothing here, just make sure the line exists or you animation will not work.
Here is an example of what your file may look like once you have finished:
Code:
[COLOR="green"]720 1280 24
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1[/COLOR]
Create Image folders:
We now need to create the folders which will contain you image files. Each folder contains the images for the corresponding section of your animation as defined in your desc file above.
To start create a new folder named:
Code:
part0
Depending on how many sections you are having in your animation, you can continue to create folders with this naming convention, always lower-case followed by a number, no spaces:
Code:
part1
part2
etc
I am unsure if there is a limit to how many of these folders you may create and how that may or may not affect performance, this needs further clarification. If anybody can provide clarification I will update this tutorial.
Create Images:
Now the fun (and hours of editing begins). Choose what you want as your animation, this can be from any source you decide...that's the 'fun' bit. Then comes the editing. You will need to convert your selected source material into a series of images or 'frames' if you like to make up your animation.
You need to use the following values for your images:
All images must be PNG or JPEG format. They must not be interlaced. They should be sized according to the screen resolution of the device you wish to run them on, so for the Galaxy Nexus that would be 720x1280.
You should number the images beginning from 10001 and onwards depending on the number of images. This numbering should be continuous through all your folders and not reset for each folder, for example:
Code:
part0/10001.png; 10002.png; 10003.png
part1/10004.png; 10005.png; 10006.png
part2/10007.png; 10008.png; 10009.png
...and so on.
Please be aware I have seen other image files and naming conventions used on occasion, I am giving the information above based on my own experimentation and what has given me the best results and performance.
Create 'bootanimation.zip' File:
Once you have finished this process we need to create your 'bootanimation.zip' file.
Once you have installed 7zip, select your 'desc.text' and all your 'partx' files and right click on them, choose the following options from the context menu:
7zip > Add to archive...
The 7zip menu will then appear, ensure you have the following settings:
Archive: bootanimation
Archive format: zip
Compression level: Store
Update mode: Add and replace files
...leave all other options as default.
Then click 'OK'
You now have your 'bootanimation.zip' file.
This can be manually placed in your /system/media or /data/local directories.
Create Flashable ZIP File:
If you want to create a flashable zip file then please follow the instructions in my tutorial below:
[TUTORIAL] Making Flashable ZIPs, EDIFY Script, ZIP Signing & Key Creation
As always, if anybody spots any glaring errors here, or can provide additional information please post in this thread and I will update the tutorial, many thanks!
I hope this helps people out creating their own boot animations.
Have fun!!
The reason it looks rubbish is because its only 360x640
We need it at 720x1280

I was looking around to see if I could find a "HD" version of the ICS Animation, but no joy
Still unable to find any custom boot animation's for the Galaxy Nexus, or even confirm that it can be done!?
Unfortunately Google searches only seem to bring up the stock GN boot for other devices.
Anybody had any more luck, or could confirm it is possible and point me in the direction of a good tutorial so I can try to start the ball rolling with some of my own?
Thanks
Yeah it can be done.
If anyone knows how to convert a mp4 into jpgs (1 for each frame, or 1 for every other frame) on OSX then let me know
Yea it definitely can, I made an optimized version of the isc with true blacks and deep colors

I would like to know where the zip file for this is.
There is a command 'bootanimation' in /system/bin
I ran 'cat' on it but it came out gibberish
I ran the 'bootanimation' tool from terminal on the handset...bad idea
It just repeated the animation with no way of exiting, I'm pulling the battery and looking further.
PS... Quicktime application on OSX should allow you to export to an image sequence, it should also have tools to allow you to crop movies etc.

I never liked that Nexus animation, it's low res and doesn't look good.
Is there any other boot animation confirmed working on GN or are these all incompatible with ICS?
It's not that we will see it often as the phone boots pretty fast, but would prefer to see anything else than that stock animation.
There was one I liked, a green spinning android with particles...
Thanks,
I did manage to find the bootanimation.zip folder
I copied it to the root of sdcard but I couldn't see it when I connected the phone, I moved it to the music folder and still I could not see it from the Win7 PC. I tried in MTP and PTP mode and then with dev-usb option enabled but nothing....
In the end I threw it in DropBox and downloaded it this way, no I see how it is made I will try and replace the folder and see if this works
In the process of making one of the light bike Androids.
Got it working fine, however its a little choppy. Might need to lower the quality
Pretty sure theres a reason the ICS isnt 1080p. The phone struggles to play it
i wanted the android tron light bikes as a bootanimation ever since i saw it
Pleeeeeeeeeaseeeeeee

Variations of BIOS animationI recommend trying the main BIOS animation first (see above)
Many variations have been removed. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Branded BIOS Boot animations are very similar to the main one.
Therefore, the preview may only show the biggest difference - the loop.

Notes:These boot animations are not flashable.
To install rename the downloaded file to "bootanimation.zip" and copy this file to /data/local/ (recommended) or /system/media/
If you're running AOKP, you may alternatively install it by accessing the General UI settings via ROM Control, and then selecting the bootanimation.zip that you downloaded.

wow looks nice. Good job, gonna try it
Hi there, I've downloaded the bootanimation.zip and transferred it to /system/media and set its permission to rw-rw-r-- (via root explorer) but it doesn't seem to work after restart.
edit: It's working now. I've copied the zip to /data/local instead and it works!
can i get an edition that says im using CYANOGEN MODE?
thanks
The old days!
Wow, this looks really nice! Good job!

hm. I can't seem to get it to load. I placed the file in system/media and in data/local and with permissions as rw-r--r--
EDIT: Now the bootloader is stuck halfway so how do i reflash the original bootloader zip file?
EDIT: OK Panic over, i managed to boot to a custom recovery and rename the bootanimation to something random so it doesnt boot that animation. Now the OS Loads!
Updates are coming soon. I'm currently testing.

What ROM are you using? If you're on AOKP you can load up the bootanimation.zip from ROM Control [General UI].

Are you trying to use the boot animation on stock? If you're on stock, you may have issues so I suggest that you do a nandroid before trying it. Feedback is appreciated.
This is a request: Could you make one where the stock nexus bootloader comes on after the BIOS Style part passes? I have sort of made it but it made the bootanimation freeze. Could you check to see if there are any errors with it? Thank you

My only problem is that my phone boots up so fast I can't see the entire animation.

Done! Coming right up.
The only error was that the animation was compressed, it has to be added in a .zip but without compressing ("store" only)

Oh I see, I used winRAR to create the zip file, could that be the reason why it froze halfway and couldn't boot to the OS?
