Anyone know where i can find this exact Boot animation? and do i install it same way as i would a custom rom.
1. Put in root
2. Boot to recovery
3. Flash it
and thats it? this will be first time i download just a boot animation. i normally use the one that come with the rom.
and i left a youtube comment but the creator hasn't posted a message in over a month
Thanks.

I'm not sure where to find it, but it depends on how its packaged, on how you install it. If its a flashable zip, then yes you do exactly as you said. If its just the bootanimation.zip, and isn't flashable, then you can use root explorer to put the file where it belongs. If you're on a sense rom, it goes in /system/customize/resource. If you're on aosp, it goes in /system/media. Just put it in the right folder, set permissions, and reboot.

I Did a XDA search and it pretty much people like me asking for a Transformers boot animation but it wasn't the specific one i was asking for.
Google is my next stop
got a youtube message back from the guy with the boot and he gave me this file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747987
its the right one but the links are dead.
anything we can do?

Damn, you're right. The mp3 file (for the boot sound) will download it seems, but the actual boot animation links me to 4shared and says 'the file link is no longer valid', or something like that. Maybe look thru that thread and see if there are any mirror's posted in it? I got nothing to do, I'll take a gander for ya in a sec.
EDIT: I found it. Check out post #40 in that thread. I just downloaded it. The download works fine. If you want the sound, the link in the OP looks like it works, if not, I saw two other mirrors for the MP3 sound somewhere between post 10 and 40.
BTW, that download is not flashable. you'll need to put the file where it goes. It's easy, especially if you know a little adb, it'll take 20 seconds. If not, using root explorer or ES file explorer can get the job done.
EDIT2: attatched the animation for you.
i'll take a look as well, don't want you to be having all the fun
Its in there, page 4 or 5
damn it its not flashable.
gotta learn how to do it the other way now
Root explorer works great-sweet find!

Couple quick questions to help me help you get it installed.
1) What rom are you currently on
2) Do you have a root level file explorer such as Root Explorer, or ES File explorer?
3) Do you have adb set up to use on your computer?
4) If you're on a sense rom, I might be able to make a flashable zip for you, let me know.

Try flashing this. It should work. Make a nandroid backup first, just in case. Unless you already have a current one.
yeah it worked but no sound?

Ooops. I forgot to edit the sound file. Sorry. I can edit and re upload it, or all you'd need to do is open up the zip you downloaded. Click the folder that says system. then click customize. then click resource. then you'll see the bootanimation.zip and the mp3 file. rename the mp3 file to SPC_animation_final. Or it might be spc_animation_final. I forget if the spc is capitals or not. It's one or the other. Then reflash it.
Edit> and what do you mean that was the fastest bootloader? The fastest it's ever booted up you mean? confused.
k done. do i just reboot my phone to see if it works or do i gotta flash again

Once you edited it, flash it again. And also, as I said, I don't remember if it's spc_animation_final or if it's SPC_animation_final. And I may have not been clear, but make sure that when you renamed it, you left the .mp3 extension on the file. It needs to be there.
yeah i know. flashing now. 1 min bud

Because AdFree is not working on Desire:
I've made hosts file which is compilation of two lists and some manual additions (for correct blocking of admob). So I decided to share with my list. Use it if You want to. Please tell me if this forum is wrong for that list.

Nice one mate. You've just reminded me I needed to redo my hosts file after installing Modaco Froyo, and I might as well use yours as it'll be more up to date than mine.

unzip the host file
than enter recovery
adb-windows shell mount /system
adb-windows shell mv /system/etc/hosts /sdcard/backuphost
adb push c:\hosts /system/etc
that should wrok if you unziped hosts.zip to c:\ and if something goes wrong you have your original hosts file backed up in /sdcard/backuphost
hope this helps
p.s. i didn't try this
did everything, and adfree is still not working in froyo...

Great work, it worked a charm until I changed to a new rom, went to use it again and it was gone from the downloads in Rom Manager.
Big thanks.
Panic over, It was saved as a download on my SD card, Rom Manager flashed it again from the saved location no problem.
Love it.

Would I be right in assuming I can put this on my card renamed as update.zip (if I need to?)
Use rom manager to boot into recovery and flash it manually?

You don't need to rename the zip file if you're using ROM Manager, but yes you should be able to install this through the manager.
If you can't download it through the ROM Manager report, my link is always online and will be updated when possible.

Just a confused question;
If we have a rooted device, what's the reason for having to use the recovery menu? Can you not simply overwrite the file?
Thanks
Yea you can, provided you reboot into recovery and mount the system, then pull or push the device back into the system.
Either way you need to boot into recovery as there's no root method that fully allows read/write access for the Desire at the moment.

It should work like this. Unfortunatelly you can't mount system partition as read/write. That is because system is blocking this in some way.

Another quick one:
I used the zip file which people are using in the rom manager. I rebooted into clockwork and selected apply update from zip and selected the file. Appears I broke the system though lol .
Is this not the right way of doing it?

Link dead ??!! "File does not exist. Make sure you specified correct file name."
I want to change from CM 3.0.0.5 to AMON-RA recovery due to the feedback I've gotten and read but I am not quite sure about what files to use and how exactly to flash them. I visited the mirror site on the RA thread and downloaded "recovery-ra-supersonic-v2.3.img" and "recovery-ra-supersonic-v2.3-pc36000.zip." My questions are do I simply place the "zip" file on the root of the card and boot into bootloader (vol dn+power) and answer yes when it asks to update, and what is the purpose of the ".img" file and what do I do with it (if I even need it)? I know these are noob questions but I am still learning and want to be sure I am doing things the right way. Thanks for the help.

ok never mind i acctually read what you posted and noticed that you already have what you need. so get rid of the .zip you dont need it. the .img and the .zip are 2 different methods and the img method in my opinion is lightyears easier than the zip way.
so here we go
1. put the .img on the root of your sd. (make sure it is named "PC36IMG.zip" exactly like that or else it wont work.
2. power down phone and then boot in to the hboot (vol down+power)
3. it will scan for the .img
4. when it asks to update hit yes.
5. let it do its thing and you will have amon.

Right on, just having a problem getting into hboot. When I power off the phone and try to power on with vol dn+power the phone goes right to the boot animation and to the system. Running synergy RC2. Did a double wipe of system/data, cache and dalvik. Currently using cm 3.0.0.5 recovery (as stated in op). Once again, Tia for the help and advice.
Pull the battery. Seems these new roms don't compleatly shut down.
Ans you don't need to wipe anything. Recovery is on a different part.

It's the Ice Cream Sandwich Nyandroid flying leaving a trail of rainbows!
This is the first boot animation I have ever made and I apologize if it's crappy or choppy. I will try to to make it smoother over time and I will include other versions as well.
How do you install this?
Root Explorer method:
1. Download bootanimation.
2. Place the bootanimation.zip on root of your SD card.
3. Make a copy of the bootanimation and name it sanim.zip and move that to your SD card as well.
4. Open root explorer.
5. Navigate to system/media
6. Select Mount R/W (top right in Root Explorer, on by defauly in ROM Toolbox) then either delete, or move existing bootanimation.zip and sanim.zip
7. Navigate back to sdcard, then copy or move bootanimation.zip to system/media and then repeat with sanim.zip
Thanks to Just_s for the instructions on installing a bootanimation!
Please tell me what you think and feel free to leave suggestions.

ok,
so i have followed all the tutorials on how to add a custom boot animation to the droid incredible. all atempts have failed and i have tried a variation of ways.
could this be that the custom rom i have wont allow it.
The custom rom i have right now is the Liberated v3.0 custom rom
and my kernal is 2.6.35.13
how come i cant load a custom boot animation.
the only other thing to try would be flashing the .zip file but i dont no if that will hurt the phone like all my data?
Could try rom toolbox.

Boot animations are named and stored in different places on different roms. Could be in /system/customize/resource, or /system/media, or somewhere else. If you have a file explorer like root explorer you can do a search for "bootanimation" and it should find the original lacation of the bootanimation and then just replace it with the one you want. Make sure the new one is named exactly like the original one, and that you set the correct permissioms, owner, and group.

Replace the /system/customize/resourve/VZW_bootanimation.zip. just rename the old one to VZW_bootanimation.zip.bak and then take the new bootanimation name it VZW_bootanimation.zip. also change permissions to the same as the old file, and change owner and group to root.

Well you should rename the original one in /system/customize/resource to VZW_bootanimation.zip.bak, and then copy your new bootanimation to the same directory and give it the same name VZW_bootanimation.zip and set the correct permissions.

That is actually pretty easy. They are PB31IMG.zip files flashed thru hboot. You just have to search for one you like thats compatible with the incredible. I believe there is a huge thread on them in the themes section.
Here is one of them http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=753788 but its not the one i was thinking of, i will keep looking.
Here you go this is the one i was thinking of. There are tons of them in this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=759691

You dont flash it thru recovery you do it in hboot. When you enter hboot, (vol down +power while the phone is off) a white screen will pop up it should automaticly find the PB31IMG.zip and prompt you to press vol up to update. The PB31IMG.zip file has to be on the root of your sdcard meaning in no folders, and named exactly that caps and all.
Here is a resized version of the android pee on Apple bootanimation that I found on the Rom toolbox but for some reason wouldn't display on my note 2 even if I resized within the application.To me it's much better lookin than the fat tinkle peeling droid that I found here and its resized correctly. Credit goes to the original animation author which I have no clue whom that may be.
Here's the sample I uploaded to YouTube for you guys
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vphIEzGJuno&feature=youtube_gdata_player
are u rooted? if yes... then do these steps verbatim to change your boot animation on your note 2.
STEP 1: download THIS file and do NOT extract it or anything (use your computer or phone... its like 100mb so i reckon you best be on WiFey to be safer from a broken dload)
STEP 2:
if using your computer to download , plug ur phone in to mount usb and moved the file to your sd card or your internal memory [ EX:Computer\SPH-L900\Phone or Computer\SPH-L900\Card ] (OR use a program like Android Commander to make things a little easier and put the file directly into the /system/media directory of your phone.... hint:the 'system' folder is located in the PARENT FOLDER of your SDCARD directory .... aka your ROOT directory)
if downloaded using your phone browser.... just use any root file manager (eg:I use ROM Toolbox Pro's Root file Browser,but there are dozens of other app like root explorer, ES File Explorer File Manager, ASTRO file Manager i think works too if u have the pro version but dont hold me to it) and use the Move to or the Copy To feature within any of those apps to move the file manually to your /system/media/ directory. You can just overwrite the one that is already there or just add a .bak or .EAD or .GTH to the end of the file name of the file you wanna backup thats already there BEFORE moving the new Android Peeing animation you downloaded in the first step.
IMPORTANT- DO NOT RENAME OR EXTRACT THE ZIP FILE YOU DOWNLOADED IN STEP 1... the file MUST BE NAMED bootanimation.zip
STEP 3- Using your root file managing joint appy proggy thingys Permissions editor (normally u just long click the file you wanna set permissions for and the edit permissions option will pop up somewhere) set the pemissions (or verify them) to this...
OWNER- READ WRITE
GROUP- READ
OTHERS- READ
or another way of saying this is RW-R--R--
Step 4 - SAVE or ACCEPT changes....
Step 5 - Reboot to make sure bootanimation is changed
Step 6 - Reboot again in a busy elevator or place where some iPhags can see over your shoulder.... and grin maliciously. :angel:
Step 7- :highfive: click the thanks button if u want or pm me if u have some bitcoins u managed to accumulate somehow and wanna donate em to me
BOSS!!!
Awesome

i noticed the file was already labeled "bootanimation.zip" so i copied it as it as renaming the original. the only thing about my phone is that im running MacksROM All Star 2.5 rather than stock but i dont think that would make any difference.

hmm.... try redownloading the file and replace the file u just tried with the one u just downloaded and then rename as necessary. i dont think ma7 changed the location of where it fetches the boot ani.... but im still running LjC. but running macks rom 5.0 which is basically the same rom as the allstar rom you are using minus without the Ma7 goodies. but anyway try what i mentioned real quick and see if maybe it was just a corrupt or incomplete download or transfer to your device if u used the computer. meantime ill see whats involved in making it a flashable zip or if my feeble mind cant wrap itself around how that works... maybe someone here will post a flashable version for ya. :fingers-crossed:

Weird. I didn't have to change any of the permissions...I even checked before rebooting that the permissions were the same. And they were already. Glad you got it sorted out.
