[BOOTANIMATION] Animated G2 logo boot animation

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!

Very cool! I like this because it maintains the stock look but is much nicer than the static boot image. Also not too goofy or flashy like others I've seen. Downloaded and copied to /data/local/ with Root Explorer, reported, and worked great! Thanks !

You can do it 3 ways... through adb, terminal, or root file manager.

Made this real quick while waiting to be unloaded. Tested and works. Put .zip on root of sd, open file manager (have su permissions and mounted as rw) copy and go to system/media, paste. Enjoy! "Rooted!!" will flash. I think it's cool so I share.Peace

That's not a bad idea. I personally like the T-Mobile version, but I can try making a version with an HTC logo. Any preference on color? Should the HTC logo be green or the same grey as the G2 logo? I should have time to make that later today.

If I put this in data/local, then choose to delete it at some point, will I encounter any issues?

Absolutely not . If you want to go back to the stock boot animation
just use root explorer to move the bootanimation.zip folder from
data/local back to your sd card , Reboot and back to normal .

any good bootanimations?

I have been using the same splash screen and bootanimation combination for a while now. They work reall y well together and they are both very simple and minimal
Splash screen
Download from from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12401607&postcount=39 you will need to unzip the PG05IMG.zip to get splash.img.
Bootaniamtion can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12172944&postcount=636 its just the google logo with a black background with cogs turning underneath. I'm not sure if I can post a gif file on the xda app so hit the link to see the boot animation.

How do you go about changing your splash screen. I want to try it on my mytouch 3g before i think about messing up my g2 lol

on G2/DZ you need engineering hboot to flash new splash. If you don't have, flashing makes nothing.

Wrong. I don't have the engineering hboot installed and I installed a custom splash screen (the HTC quietly rooted one from the previous page).
If you search their is a guide how to install it through terminal emulator, which I followed and it worked perfectly.

how do u change the splash image?!
Edit: nvm, I found out about the ADB method

I tried this method also, it haven't worked before I flashed eng hboot. But I think it must work, because both eng hboot and splash are flashed from terminal same way.

You're better off just flashing the engineering bootloader anyway. Fastboot becomes a last resort in the unlikely event recovery f***s up.
Anyway, here's mine.

do you have the link to that guide on how to install the splash with the terminal emulator?

[Tutorial] Make your own Splash Screen for Wildfire S

Hi Wildfire S users,
Today I'm going to teach you how to create Splash screen or the image that comes
before bootanimation.
1. Download the tool in the attached and extract it using any zip manager
2. Download PG76IMG.zip as base file for creating splash flashable
3. Make an image or resize and crop any image, it should be 320 width, 480 height. Save it as 24bit BMP. I'm not sure JPG will work but I always choose BMP to be sure.
4. In the tool folder you just extracted open CreateG1Splash.exe then click open choose your edited image then click convert.
5. a file mysplash.rgb565 is created just rename it to splash1.nb0 then open my attached PG76IMG.zip with any zip manager like winrar,winzip or 7zip. then drag the splash1.nb0, thats it.
6. Now put the file in the root of your memory card then flash through Hboot. by fully turning off phone then holding volume down then power.
7. It will ask you to update just follow instructions after that reboot. You'll see your new splash.
Here is a sample:
{
"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"
}

Wonderfull tool.
Thanks !

Exactly what I was looking for, thanks very much.

let me guess.......only for people with s-off????

A handy guide
It seems quite different on WFS compared to other Android phones. For example, on my DHD you convert your .bmp to .img and then flash via ADB as follows:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img
fastboot reboot
You can also use Android Flasher if you don't feel comfortable using ADB.
I wonder if this will work with WFS?

Found another tool
Your input image shoud be 320 * 480 pixels!!!

New Splash with matching bootanimation

Great tool. I've made a splash screen also.
I've the original rgb565 contained also so if it doesn't work, maybe another one can create a working zip.

zip file
Hit thanks when you like! And download!!!
If someone wants to make a boot animation, i've added a bunch of jpg files in the same style.
Can't make it myself sorry. If you've made it, post it here or give it to me so i can include it.

Thanks for this

Thanks so much! I love it!

Does this method work with HTC unlocked phones? I'm running CM7.2 by alquez and have CWM installed and rooted.
Edit: I don't think it works with HTC unlocked phoned. Damn, I was excited about it.

anyway to revert back to original splash screen and bootanimation

To get original splash screen, you could Google the image, and then create it using the instructions in the first post.
Also original animations could be sourced via search, however changing the splash screen does not affect the boot animation, but I'd advise that you back things up before deleting them in the future.

that link is for a download from ETHeils thread (we work together). He figured it out. The one x is similar to the LTE and we have making animations and splashes for that for a while until he noticed the ONE X has exactly the same stuff.
