[BOOT ANIMATION] Waving Samsung-Droids

Hi there,
I created a bootanimation for myself, specially for the Galaxy SII, and I'd like to share it with you. I mixed "The Waving Droids" with Samasungs Boot logo.
What you need:
-Rooted SGS2
-Bootanimation compatible Kernel
How to:
1.Copy bootanimation.zip to sd card. (Do NOT rename)
2. Move it, using Root Explorer (o. e.) to /system/media/ or /data/local .
Tested to work with "CF-Root v4"
Have Fun!
How to uninstall:
1. Open Root Explorer
2. Navigate to /system/media
3. Delete bootanimation.zip
4. At next reboot the S-Samsung Logo will be back.
If you had a backup (bootanimation.zip.bak o.e.) of the previous animation, rename backup to bootanimation.zip and replace it.

Lol! LOVE IT!!!!!

This seems pretty cool! Keep up the good work! However if i wat to go back the way I was (Without the droid), what do i need to do? Sorry for the dumb question

I presume rename the original file to *****.bkp and then copy new animation over.

edit.............

I added instuctions on how to uninstall.
Has anyone an idea of another bootanimation that has to be mixed?

2. Move it, using Root Explorer (o. e.) to /system/media/

You need to be rooted. If you are, press the button "Mount R/W" at the Top and retry.
(When using Root Explorer)

Thank you janis Keep up the good work!

Works on Villain 2.0, very nice! Reminds me of the boot animation of the HTC Hero

Hii , could you make for : [ROM][2.3.4] Cognition S2 v1.12 | Now Live . (clockworkmod recovery 4.0.0.8)
Please

As long as the Roms Kernel does not support bootanimation, i can't do anything.

Thanks great animation!! but i still got the sound of my previous lightning rom animation.. can i kill that sound??

[SCRIPT] Random Boot Animations

Introduction
Here's a repackage and repost of my modified Random Boot Animation script. This was originally conceived by Nighthound many moons ago and was long abandoned. I picked it up and modified it for my Kang-o-rama ROM and the Optimus 2x.
And here it is for you Galaxy Nexus pleasure!​
What it Does
There are various apps out there that can achieve the same result but this is a simple script that uses a random number generator to swap in a random boot animation each time you boot. The script runs one just before the animation and never again until you boot the next time.
You can have any number of animations that will randomise and you can also set a flag to have just one run without needing to delete the others.​
How it Works
The script executes on startup, generates a random number, assigns this number to a boot animation stored in /data/local/bootanimations/, copies that animation to /data/local/bootanimation.zip and let's Android take over from there. Android will automatically prefer /data/local/bootanimation.zip to the one stored by your ROM in /system/media/.
You just put any valid boot animation in /data/local/bootanimations/ - calling it what you wish - and the script will do the rest. You should not try and call all of your boot animations "bootanimation.zip" - you need to give them a unique name.​
Installation
Upon installing the script will automatically back up any custom animation you have in /data/local/ to /data/local/bootanimations/CustomAnimBackup.zip and this animation will be among those randomly selected.
Download one of the files below
Flash from recovery
Reboot and enjoy
Hit 'Thanks' below
System Requirements
This script will run on any custom Galaxy Nexus ROM with init.d support (which is most).​
Notice
Some boot animations are distributed within another zip archive. You need to extract the bootanimation.zip file from that archive and rename it before you put it in the bootanimations directory.​
Downloads
Update 08 July 2014
The script, in install.zip format has been attached to this post.​
Single Animation Flag
If you want to view a single animation only you can do so without moving or changing any of the other files.
Simply Create a file called "bootanimation.use" in /data/local/bootanimations/. In this file place a single line with the filename of the boot animation you want to use. For example:
Code:
CustomAnimBackup.zip
When you want to revert to random animations again delete "bootanimation.use" from the directory.​

Oh this is very cool! Will test it out shortly. Thanks.

I rather enjoy bootanimations. Thank you for this lovely script!

This script will run on any custom Galaxy Nexus ROM with init.d support (which is most).

Does this mean it doesn't work on rooted stock?

Correct. You need a custom kernel at minimum and a /system/etc/init.d/ directory.

That's odd. It does log what's happening at boot, know how to get a logcat?

Via adb, it's quite easy:
adb logcat > log.txt
Will save the log to log.txt
Turn phone off, plug in, type command, start phone, wait till boot completes, ctrl+c to stop logging. Attach file here.
Remember to boot a few time first, just to make sure you're not getting random animations.

Thanks a lot mate!

Also attached, are the screenshots (available at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1446531) that I am having a seperate problem with, not sure if you would know but just checking with you.
My screen is all screwed up when it boots, if I stop the launcher and restart it seems to be okay though. Any pointers to what it could be because (if it is glaringly visible in the log file) ?

Okay, it doesn't look like your ROM executes init.d scripts... which is required.
Is it this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1372376
If so that one's a little too close to stock... if you want to run a stock ROM that has init.d support I suggest a free MCR (MoDaCo) ROM.
Can't help with the crazy display sorry...

Very interested in this, but have a scrub question... so all I do is download then flash through cwm and I 'm all set?

Correct as long as you're running a custom rom with init.d support.
If not, it will do no damage, it just won't work.

I'm on the same ROM and kernal and having difficulty with the script. Did you just copy the animation file to just /data/local/bootanimations or to /system/media as well?
- I ran the script
- Copied the few bootanimations I downloaded to /data/local/bootanimations
- Rebooted
- Black screen

When you say you "ran" the script, do you mean you flashed it in CWM? Hope so.
Other than that your steps are correct... nothing needs to go in /system/
The script logs to logcat... if you can get a boot logcat I can tell you if it's initiating.

Yea, I meant ran it on CWM. Phone is rooted and has the CWM recovery. Using AOKP Milestone2 custom rom with the franco kernal #12
But all I get is a blank black screen after the 'Google' word until the phone reaches the lock screen. None of the bootanimations are loading.
Trying it with the bootanimations:
ITCrowd, DoctorWho, and TheRoosevelt-Sharp-ICS

Okay, I'll need a log really to see what's happening... perhaps it's permissions on the /data/local/bootanimations directory.
if you can do this:
Code:
adb logcat > boot.log
From phone off all the way to home screen and attach it here I can look at it for you.

See my comment above as well but I have a question... did you create the /data/local/bootanimation directory yourself?
If so, delete it (copy the contents elsewhere temporarily) and reboot the phone. If the directory is re-created the script is firing. Then copy the files back in a reboot... that will fix any problems with the permissions that exist.
If the dir is not re-created automatically I'll need the log.

Change your bootanimation

Make sure your device is rooted and has a working rom with usb debugging enabled!
How to change it:
download the android SDK and make sure its updated
go to the platform-tools folder
place bootanimation.zip in it
open cmd go to the platform tools folder at cmd and fill in these commands (make sure you got a rooted device and have usb debugging enabled NOT IN FASTBOOT)
adb device (if you see your device its good and get to the next stap)
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
reboot your device now and you will see the new boot animation

Nice idea, but not totally correct.
The path that you gave is correct for some roms, not all. Stock sense roms have bootanimation in system/customize/resources,
The path you gave works if custom bootanimation location is enabled in kitchen while cooking your rom.
So just search a little bit more, widen your tutorial and everything will be perfect.
Plus, in my oppinion there are a few easier ways to change bootanimation.
Sent from my HTC Desire via flashes and thunders

Here's on how to do it WITHOUT a computer.
Prerequisites :-
Rooted phone
An application that allows root exploration (root explorer, ES File explorer)
A rom that allows custom bootanimation.. I think all roms allow it, but I might be wrong here. Do search it up before attempting.
Bootanimation.zip
Step 1 : Copy your bootanimation to your phone (if you're using a computer)
Step 2 : Navigate to /data/local (for AOSP) or system/customize/resources (for sense. Not sure if path is correct but the poster above mentioned it is.)
Step 3 : Rename the original bootanimation.zip to something else, like bootanimation.zip.bkup, Just incase you need it next time.
Step 4 : Copy the bootanimation you want to /data/local
Step 5 : Reboot
Step 6 : Profit.

Yes, that's native location of bootanimation for sense roms, but it can be change during process of making of rom (same as AOSP). Also all of this doesn't work for MIUI.

dont forget a little thing called change permissions

Done this on all my phones, never needed to change permission..
ALSO I'VE NOTICED, some bootanimations are FLASHABLE zips, so do check before you replace it. If you replace the bootanimation with a flashable bootanimation the phone MIGHT NOT boot.

yh, i was going on the fact of not using a computer and moving to data/local, and that way u have to change permissions

PokemonGo Boot Animation For Xiaomi Mi A1 (Very easy to use)

A must-have boot animation for all PokemonGo lovers. if you are a Pokemon lover, just try it once and you will never want to switch to any other boot animation ever! It will definitely flaunt your device and set it apart from others. People will start noticing it as soon as you start using it. And they will probably be surprised how did you do this magic! Just kidding! But yeah, you will definitely start getting questions like "How did you do it?" "Please help me getting it" etc. Just smile and make a face like "Hey it's a magic"!! Try it to believe it.
Instruction to use:
You don't really need to flash the zip file. I will make it very simple for you. Just download the zip file from the given link. The zip file will be like "bootanimation.zip". Now just open ES file explorer or any file manager with root access. Now locate the downloaded bootanimation.zip file and copy it. Now go to /system/media and you will see there is already a bootanimation.zip file. That is your current boot animation zip file. Just rename the current bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip1 for future reference and now paste the downloaded bootanimation.zip file that you copied earlier. Now just restart your device and enjoy all the superheroes on your device. Please note, it won't replace the stock "AndroidOne" splash screen that shows at the beginning.
If you like the boot animation, don't forget to hit Thanks. It would inspire me to give you more cool boot animations like this.
