[SCRIPT] BootChanger - G2 and Desire Z Android Development

Hi everyone, this is a script I wrote up and made flashable. I have found this to simply be the easiest way of changing your boot animation in no time at all!
Instructions
1. Find the bootanimation of your choice, and make sure it's named bootanimation.zip
2. Place both the bootanimation.zip + BootChanger.zip on the root of your sdcard
3. Now there's two ways to install it:
A. Use rom manager to install rom from sdcard. Find BootChanger.zip and it will
reboot into recovery all on it's own. Personally I have found this to be the
easiest way.
B. Reboot into recovery manually and install from sdcard.
4. Enjoy
This script will only install bootanimation to the /data/local directory of your phone, and should work for most roms.

Want to apply new boot animation running kings unleashed rage has the.option in add ons to change boot how do u get a custom boot of ur choice to show up there
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Never ran the rom so I know nothing of that, but you can do:
1. adb push the bootanimation.zip of your choice to /system/customize/resource if a sense rom
2. use root explorer to move the bootanimation.zip file to the same location.

Yes, or IF the animation you want says it's flashable, you can just flash it in recovery.

On that note, IF its flashable, the person that made it will clearly say "flashable from recovery," other do as I previously said.
To tell if it is flashable,
1) d/l the zip
2) use a file exploer to open it
3) if it has a Meta folder in it, it is flashable

[Q] installing custom boot animation?

I am having trouble installing the new Prime Boot annimation..
i flashed the zip but nothing happens .. the same boot annimation that came with the rom is still there.. ?
Unless specified...you don't flash a the bootanimation.zip. Using a program like Root Explorer navigate to the System-Media folder and rename the stock bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.bak. That way if you ever want to go back to stock just change the end to .zip.
Then, copy the bootani you want to change to into that same folder. If you're using Root Explorer...long press on the file and change permissions to RW-R-R. Reboot and enjoy your new boot animation.
http://www.droid-life.com/2011/10/08/download-nexus-prime-boot-animation/
The boot animation from the Nexus Prime aka Galaxy Nexus that was teased to us earlier in the week is now available for everyone to play with. The instructions we have are for flashing in Clockwork Recovery, but if you aren’t rooted, you will have to do it the old fashioned way by extracting and moving the bootanimation.zip into /data/local or wherever your particular phone pulls media from.
Sexy, isn’t it?
Download: Nexus_Prime_Boot.zip
Instructions:
1. Download the file from above an drop it on your SD card.
2. Reboot your phone into recovery.
3. Choose “install zip from sd card.”
4. ”Choose zip from sd card.”
5. Select the file you downloaded from above.
6. Once it finishes running choose “Go Back” and then reboot!

Boot animations that are appropriately formatted will work with your phone. The boot animation is not dependent on your kernel, so yes it will.

Try system/customize/resource then. You might have to rename it VZW_bootanimation. Whatever it is rename it that. Just installed it. Its actually pretty cool. Theyre getting better at not sucking when it comes to bootanimations.

[Boot animation] StarGate Bootanimation

Hi!
I've made a StarGate Bootanimation for Galaxy S II. (for Android 2.3.5)
Thanks to crispixfr for the original version (for SGS1).
Actually i resized his version, replaced its sound (the original was too dull), and updated the script for SGS2 Android 2.3.5.
Install:
First of all you have to unrar the two parts. -i had to split the .ZIP with rar because xda forum allows only 8MB attachments.
After that:
a) Install With ClockWorkMod
OR:
b) Install with root explorer (extract the .zip and paste the bootanimation.zip in system/media and PowerOn.wav in system/etc)
I recommend to increase the system volume to maximum for real experience.
(Settings>Sound settings>Volume>System volume)
Previews:
great animation. Have it also in my SGS1. The problem wich i have, is that the sound of locking symbols is to fast.... But maybe our gs2 is to damn fast.
best regards
PS. also i have a power on and off from Transformes wich i love have them on every phone that i own (glad to share with you guys)

You mean that the sound doesn't match the picture?
Maybe your phone plays the video slower than mine.
no no..you got me wrong...IT MATCH..but it plays fast then i used to sgs1. in sgs1 is more like in the movie (but i think is about that in sgs1 it take longer to boot).
it's like 1.2.3.4.5.6.7 done but no issues about sync video/audio
Looks good will give this a go i was getting a bit bored of the Galaxy Nexus boot animation anyway
Thanks you for to have updating my boot animation !!! Crispix is the best !!! And you too now lol
Just one thing before i flash which part do i flash via CWM or is it both do i flash one and then after it reboots flash the other one or how does it work?

As i have said in the first post: First of all you have to unrar the two parts.
So there is only ONE ZIP file, which you'll have after extracting the RAR files.
After that, you only have to flash the extracted ZIP file!
@OP: why two files?

Put ur file onto multiupload ;-)
Directly from my SGS II using xda premium
Sometimes is not working the regular method (trough CWM). You need to push the files manually.
Choose a file explorer wich can gain read writte rights on system folder (personaly i use root explorer).
Step 1. Unzip the zip file wich doesn't work trough CWM flash, and you will obtain several folders (system/media wich contain bootanimation.zip) and etc/ wich contain PowerOn.wav. Copy this files in a folder inside your internal sdcard or external sdcard. Mainly you are interested on bootanimation.zip and PowerOn.wav
Step2. With file explorer mount with R/W the system folder and copy the bootanimation.zip from your folder to your /system/media folder. If you allready have a bootanimation.zip there, it will be overwritted.
Step 3. With file explorer mount R/W the etc folder, and copy from your folder PowerOn.wav to your etc folder.
Step 4. Reboot. Enjoy.
I think the same steps are also for the other kernels wich use the sanim.zip.
I don't remember in what folder is stored, but it will be like, rename the extracted bootanimation.zip to sanim.zip, and copy the new file to the respective folder. The poweron.wav is going to the etc folder.
If you have a copy error please check if you have read/writte rights on that folder. For default you have Read Only rights.
Hope that helps, and all credits go to the OP for this great animation.
best regards
This is a great animation.
Running on Checkrom Rev 3.1.1 with Green Monkey theme.
Thanks for the effort.
well done

thanx man , it's realy good

How to flash a bootanimation with cmw

Hi, i am not a developer but i have discovered a litte trick i would like to share with everybody. If you want to change your bootanimation ( with a new one you have created or found on the internet) there are several ways to do it but i have found very easy to flash it with cmw. The procedure is this. Download an already flashable zip file like the one posted in thread cm10 bootanimation i8150 by wong.izzat. Open the file (first screenshot) and click the folder "system" then the folder "media" (second screen shot) and you will find the file bootanimation.zip (third screenshot). Select it and remove it. Now take your new bootanimation file and move it in the folder where the previous one was . Close the file and rename this flashable file any way you like it i.e. newbootanimation. At this point you have a flashable zip file that you can flash with cwm as usual: copy to the external sd card , go into recovery, select flash zip and then select zip from external sd and find your file and flash it. Reboot and you will see the new bootanimation. The procedure is 100 % safe and the only important detail is that the name of the new boot animation must be bootanimation.zip.
Hope is useful
P.S. it is evident that in order to do this you must have a rooted phone and clockworkmod recovery installed
P.P.S. if you want to create your personal bootanimation use the boot animation factory program (sorry I cannot post link but you can easily find it on the internet. it is a free program )

DC-MARVEL Bootanimation.zip [720p ]

British graphic designer Christian Tailor created this awesome animation of stylized Marvel and DC Comics heroes and villains, and now you can use it as the boot animation on your Android device.
It was later turned into default start up animation by Brian Roberts
HTML:
https://plus.google.com/+BrianRoberts
and later into a flashable zip by Ronald Valdes
HTML:
https://plus.google.com/+RonaldValdes
.
Now all I did was I took Christian Tailor's bootanimation which was 1080p and converted it into 720p which will fit perfectly on S3 or any 720p devices.
Here is the link to download,
MEGA LINK
HTML:
https://mega.co.nz/#!nlZW1KgK!QRm6Eq4AuNAI1Z6NZzdR0r7YaLwoa1eJ_-M6adM7k2A
DROPBOX LINK
HTML:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/bm6xfg1doitjslv/dcmarvel720pbootanimation.zip
Install Instructions:
1. Your device need to be rooted. It won't work if your device is not rooted. How to root? Please check online. I hope samsung device users have custom rom with root and not stock rom with root. I have no idea how it works in other brand android devices, so proceed only if it is similar process as you find below.
2. This is not a flashable file, so you have to copy it into your system/media .
3. Use X-plore, make sure you have root access. To get root access, press configuration. Under Root access, select superuser + mount writable. I only know how to do this in xplore, i don't know how it works in other apps. So sorry. I will let you know how it works in other apps.
4. Now go to root/system/media and you will find bootanimation.zip . Copy it to your internal/external memory.
5. Delete the bootanimation.zip from system/media.
6. Now copy the dcmarvel720pbootanimation.zip to system/media and rename it to bootanimation.zip .
7. Now reboot your device.
8. Now Enjoy.
[By the way, I really don't know if I was allowed to post this or not. If I was not allowed, please comment here, and also I am sorry, I will remove it as soon as possible. If I am allowed then thank you. Please support the original people who did it.]
Hi. Good job bro. But, Can you tell how to install this? I tried via recovery and it failed... Tried putting in system/media and rebooted but the previous boot animation is still showing. I renamed the old bootanimation.zip first before trying.
Thanks

In system/media, remove the previous boot animation. Either delete it or just copy it to your internal memory, but you will have to delete it in your system/media. Now save the dc-marvel bootanimation zip to system/media and rename it to bootanimation.zip
Now try rebooting. Hope it worked.

Update : was using Cm11 theme before and this seemed to be the cause.restored the theme to default and placed the boot animation to system/media and it worked like a charm.

Hmmm, when I replace the original bootanimation.zip with the Superhero one and restart, I only get flashing "android" text in the middle of the screen, it's animated so something is happening... but no heroes. Curious. Any ideas?
Thanks for bringing this to the forums btw and resizing it
EDIT: Found out why, I needed to change the permissions to rw-r-r

are you rooted? also are you using a custom rom?
it only works if you use both root and a custom rom,
as said in the instructions, make sure you have given superuser mount writable permissiom. Either delete the bootanimation.zip from you system/media or copy the bootanimation.zip to your internal memory or external memory if available.
now copy paste the dcmarvelbootanimation.zip to system/media and rename it to bootanimation [make sure it is still in zip format which means it is .zip]
now try rebooting.
