CIA Boot Screen Animation

Any one know how to get the CIA boot screen animation on the Evo 4G. I searched and found a file but when I flashed it, it didn't work. Dont think it was made for the Evo.

i assume that this was prompted by the recent news of Osama Bin Laden's "death"?

actually it wasn't, I was looking for it for a few days but the Osama thing does make me want it more.

I used to have that boot screen on my WinMo Touch Pro. I don't know if I've seen an Android version.

Someone ported it to android no sure for what device. I have the zip file but it didn't work for me.

Perhaps the zip file is not flashable? Or if it is but made for another Android device, just extract the bootanimation.zip and put it in the correct folder.

Post the zip and I'll take a look at it for you.

Is there a problem with it being a zip file INSIDE of the zip file? There is really no other reason why it shouldnt work..?

Ok. So the zip file you posted was flashable, sort of. It had both edify and amend scripts in it. I don't think you can have both. This is just the extracted animation, resized and optimized. 13 megs was a bit large. Rename if necessary and use root explorer to install to the proper location. Probably system/ customize/ resource. I can make this flashable if you can give me a location of your current boot animation. I may have to adjust the speed. It was originally set to 60 fps. It's currently 15 fps. Try it out and let me know.

If you press the R/W button first then you should be able to replace the file.

No. For the lg optimus s. And at 45 fps, it would play so fast you probably wouldn't see it. And choppy.

What boot animation are you trying to use? Post the link.
Most of them are flashable if they are in zip format, you do that through recovery. If the file is PC36IMG.zip though, that's through your boot loader.
Also what recovery are you on?

its alright, i really just want a rom that has close to outstanding battery life, then i want to be able to change to my favorite boot animation and a nice lockscreen and has tethering that works mine isn't working.

its just droid x one, i want with volume, and i dont get what you mean by what recovery? i have clockwork recovery when i go to recovery and ****

Clockwork recovery is your recovery. The name "recovery" is a little misleading personally but whatever. Anyhow, I dont think it's possible to get sounds on your boot animation since you are using miui (aosp roms don't have it built in). I think there is a thread around here about getting them, I just don't know where. Search for it if you like.
To get the actual animation though, just put the bootanimation.zip file on your sd card, not in any folders or anything. Then go into your recovery (clockwork), and flash bootanimation.zip from there. No need to wipe anything usually.
The instructions listed on that thread you linked are for doing it from your computer, a little more complicated than mine.
Sent from my hand with XDA Premium installed

will try thanks

said that installiation aborted, can you recommened a rom to use? i'm still searching for a fav

MIUI lets you change boot animation and sound through the Theme Manager. The files are stored in different locations than on any other rom. If you'll link me to the file I'll make you a mtz file to use in Theme Manager and you can set any sound as the boot sound.

Try wiping cache and dalvik then reflashing the rom over itself. Don't wipe data and everything will be the way it was before the reflash. You can also try fixing permissions through Rom Manager or in Amon Ra recovery "fix apk uid mismatches". If you do both of these and the Theme Manager still doesn't work, the mtz file won't work.
I'm a little busy, but I'll go ahead and start on it. When I'm done I'll post it here along with directions assuming you get Theme Manager to work.

Well an mtz file won't work on that rom. I don't think the boot animation will work the way it's currently set up. I'll try it on my phone and see. If it doesn't work then the file names will need to be changed. I can do this for you but it will probably be tomorrow before I can finish it. If it works as is I will give you directions on how to get it working on that rom.

[Q] Boot animation not baking into rom using XDADSI Kitchen

OK so I have been "Building" a sense rom (Building in quotations as you actually just really customize it) and trying to put a custom boot animation I add the files where the kitchen tells me and bake it and I get the stock android boot animation (silver letters that say android with no sound). I then tried to replace the files in the resource file in system>customize file and still same results. I am attaching a copy of the recovery log after a fresh flash and after initial boot if anyone can help thank you as I am learning both how to make these and run ubuntu

Then your bootanimation is not properly configured for one reason or another. You're replacing the right files, but your phone sees an error with your customized files and is reverting to the genetic/stock bootanimation....

Change boot animation on LG Optimus G

Hi All,
Here's how to change the boot animation for the device. Do at your own risk. I've attached the Cyanogenmod boot animation for starters.
Boot Animation
1. Using your file manager browse to system > media
2. You will see a file called bootanimation.zip and varients. Rename it to bootanimation.bak and add .bak to all the others as well.
3. Browse to your sdcard to the location of your new boot animation
4. Rename your new boot animation to bootanimation.zip if it isn't already
5. Copy the new boot animation to system > media
6. Give the new boot animate all the permissions.
7. Reboot and Enjoy
Cyanogenmod boot animation

Anyone tried it out yet?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app

There's a few apps in the market that have a bunch of boot animation options. They're all sort of consolidated, I wonder if they're safe

Do you have to be rooted or unlocked to attempt?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app

You will have to be rooted, not sure about unlocked. I"m guessing OP didn't actually bother to look at the files though. There are 3 boot animations in the folder. Assuming you are on sprint, you can delete bootanimation_boost.zip. The bootanimation.zip runs before the bootanimation_sprint.zip runs. I don't know if deleting one would cause it to revert to running the other one twice or longer but it probably wouldn't hurt anything to test. The bootanimation.zip is the LG logo animation and the bootanimation_sprint.zip is the sprint logo animation. I would guess that you could customize each of these if you gave them the same name, or maybe if you deleted the sprint one, the other bootanimation.zip would run longer. I don't have time to test it now...

Are the third party boot animation apps safe?

If by safe you mean it won't brick it, then yes they are. They should work too.

Thanks, will attempt after root. Haven't had time to do jack squat yet.

Tried a few of those boot animation switchers. No dice

Just fyi for anyone who tried flash this, it isn't flashable, it just contains all the different dimensions.

Ok so I see the boost file. The sprint file. And the regular one. I changed it to .Bak and pasted the new one. But no dice

This will not work for the sprint att and boost versions i will use sprint for example...
You're mostly right however if you on one of the named providers above you must rename the old boot animation from bootanimation_sprint.zip to
bootanimation_sprint.bak then rename the file bootanimation.zip to bootanimation_sprint.zip i did this to restore the stock lg boot animation that was in there already i don't see why this would not work with other boot animation files
Enjoy

The "boot animations" application from play store works perfectly if you change "install location" in preferences to system/media and the preset file name in preferences to "bootanimation_sprint.zip". You can then just click install on any animation you like.

Not working for me, for whatever reason. Trying to use my own boot animation, and all I get is a black screen.This is my animation if perhaps you want to test if I've done something wrong. All I did was rename the bootanimation_sprint.zip into .bak and place that file in there instead. It should work, but it isn't.

just loaded yours up and just got a black screen, so i think its the actual animation thats messed up

I cannot get it to work either

Hmm, guess I'll look into why the animation isn't working. Even made it from scratch and then using boot animation factory.

Epic has a guide that works better.
Also, to make it work you need to change the permissions of the new file.

Tried it with his guide and changed the permissions as well. I'm able to get stock JB to load on mine, it's just my boot animation that fails to work for some reason. I recreated it again from scratch and still don't really know what's wrong with it. Using 8bit color, stock compression, everything seems just fine; and yet it isn't. Maybe I'll take this up to the boot animation tutorial thread to see if anyone there can help me.
Edit: Nevermind, it was something extremely trivial that I should have noticed that just slipped by me. The folder name had a space in it, which pretty much made it useless. Fixed by removing the spaces.

(Q)Trying to make bootanimation.zip please help!?

Ive been working on a boot animation and i need to know iff I'm doing it right. I need pointers and someone who has had success with bootanimation.zip files. I have all images in numbered succession and i have the desc.txt file also set to the specific resolution. What needs to be played and etc. I flash the bootanimation.zip and everything flashes successfully but when rebooting the animation doesn't show. Any idea what could be wrong?

That might work except im not running ICS. Im on Jellybam 7.4.0 so its JB. Im also running the kt747 kernel which from my understanding allows custom boot animations. Im not sure if messing with those files will be good or bad. With ICS it may have worked but it may cause issues with JB.
