Here's correctly sized version of "Google Gears" -bootanimation.
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/
or use root explorer (or other root capable file manager) to copy the file under /data/local/, set permissions and reboot
Edit: now re-drawn version with larger Google-logo + gears: 19.12.2011
Not really sized correctly. The image is, but the animation and "Google" is too small. Use some of that giant screen.

Well... streching the stuff bigger would make it blurry. Maybe I'll re-draw the whole thing, shouldn't be too large task to complete.

I just stretched in GIMP. It looks fine. But I don't really have a way of keeping it where it is, and just increase the size 50%.
I SCALED to 150% and i think it looked fine. Good job tho.

Sorry for the noob question but I set permission and it didn't work. What do I set it as?

Are you using Root Explorer? This is the easiest way to change your boot animation if you're not too familiar with it.
Your issue might be with where you are storing the file. My boot animation is located in /system/media and not /data/local. Try renaming the original bootanimation.zip then moving the respective boot zip file to /system/media
Oh yeah, at least with 403 roms the correct path seems to be /system/media

So I've actually never made my own boot animation before, and my Nexus isn't yet rooted to try this myself, but it seemed like a cool project to redraw this one from scratch at full 1280 x 720, 60fps, with a bit larger gear logo (and I'm bored). If someone's willing to check out my modification (attached) and let me know if I've modified things correctly (the desc.txt, in particular), then here's an attached freebie.
EDIT: Here's a modified version that should look spiffy! Zipped the first attachment incorrectly, but this one I've tested (at a reduced size) on the Fascinate running ICS, and it works perfectly.

has anyone tried this on a GN?
Works perfectly in Galaxy Nexus. Thanx
Loving this little animation, thanks.
I am absolutely in love with this.
simple and elagant.
The only way It can be improved imo is if someone moves the google logo in this animation to the exact same position as the google logo that appears before it.
I'd do it myself but unfortunately I lack the expertise!

It looks really great on my Zopo C2, with full hd resolution.
Thanks!:good:
I know this is the GNex thread, but I have not been able to find this for the 2nd gen Nexus 7. Now I know it has been some time since this thread was updated, but I was wondering if anyone would be willing to make this animation compatible with my N7... The current one looks nice, but is just way too small. Great work, though! If I could root my RAZR Maxx HD, I'd love to use this as well if I could!
Thanks in advance to anyone who does this!
Edit: I also put a request in to the following thread; if you resize it before anyone there, please do post it. Thanks!

Hi all. This isnt new but for those of you that havent found it yet this is the Xoom Honeycomb boot animation feel free to download. But I need assistance, after installing it when the animation ends and it is about to loop there is a quick flash to white screen and then it continues. Not too big of a deal but was wondering if anyone could help me, Im kind of a perfectionist but have no idea how to fix it myself. Thanks
Heres a vid of what it looks like
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSWnKu5hr7g&feature=player_embedded
and I will attach the bootanimation.zip
For those that dont know. All you have to do is take the .zip, rename it to bootanimation.zip and copy it to the /system/media folder. Backup your old boot file if you want.
Edit: Found a ported version for the droid x that looks pretty good going to attach that. I also attached two landscape bootanimations. One has the Honeycomb Bee at the beginning and the other doesnt. Just thought you guys might want to see it.
I looked at the frames, theres nothing that shows a white flash there but once it played on the phone, i see the flash. also for our vision phones, we need it to be 480x800. the zip files are all 512x256 and its all stretched
Looks sexy

Your right. Just put it in the data/local folder and your done.
(use root explorer or some other file explorer, that lets you navigate the android files)
Reboot to see the animation.
does the phone have to be rooted?? not sure exactly how to install..
I took out some of the solid black screens and it seems to flow better without the long breaks.

I am failing at making a bootanimation.zip and I am not sure why. Anyone experienced want to take a look at my file and give me a hint as to why this doesn't work? It gets rid of the default Android, but just displays a black screen until the homescreen shows up.
Did I stump everybody? I figured I was just missing something silly like the picture files need to be in 7.5 bit format or something.

You must save the zip as an uncompressed zip file. Compression level should be set to storage mode.

I hadn't seen that first thread (or the tool in it). Neat. Thank you. Wish I had seen that before I started.
It still didn't work, but at least that lets me know that it really is an odd problem.

That I am doing. Though I have noticed that sometimes "store" in WinRar compresses by just a few bytes. I made one that was completely not compressed (byte match for stored size versus on drive size). Still not working, so I've ruled that out as being the issue.
I'm attaching a version created by the tool in the link above. It still doesn't work. I have no clue why... still looking for hints.

That looks like it'd be a cool animation. I'll mess with it later when I get home. But at first glance comparing it to other animations I have that work, they are either greyscale or RGB jpgs @ 72dpi. Yours are indexed pngs @ 300dpi. That link says png should be ok, but it says to use RGB. Maybe you could try that next.
Here you go. I converted the images to 72dpi RGB jpgs. I'll still probably try again leaving them as 72dpi RGB pngs, but these animations work now.
I included your original 30fps version, but also slowed it down a bit. I think the 12fps looks good, but unless you have just wiped your dalvik cache, you might not have enough time to see very many blinks. The 21fps version isn't bad, but I think it's still a bit too fast. Tweak the speed to your preference.
These are not flashable, btw, so just copy over with root explorer or whatever.
Has to be renamed sanim.zip to work in GB.

I get boot animations from a rom that i like and try to put the boot ani in a diff rom and it never works. i'm never able to get the files into the other zip. I can't wait till i figure out how to completely customize roms to exactly what i want! i'm learning a little more day by day. this thread has helped me a little and will now be my reference if i run into this problem once i finally make my own boot ani.

I am thinking the editor I was using for the images was doing something funky. Anyway, much appreciated, the 21 fps one works beautifully.

Ok, i've been searching around for the last hour in various places for a bootanimation i used to have on my Desire, as far as i can make out so far it's a mix between the Verizon Droid x advert and the Droid x red eye..........can't find it for love nor money, starts off with the human eye looking about, then morphs into the Droid eye looping. Anyone have it?
this is part of it.

I can't find it for the life of me, restored my laptop since i had it, and not got my Desire anymore........tried trawling on here and Phandroid forum but can't locate it.
Ok, i've eventually stumbled across the animation i had,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=774180
Just need to figure out WTF i have to do with it to get it onto the X
Please do as i also liked this very much
Well, i've got this one onto my phone, running LeeDrOiD rom (bootanimation in System/customize/resorce) , no idea if i have done it right, but it works......although there are a few frames that could do with a bit of work, some of the transition frames show lines form being different sized pictures originally. I have no photoshop skills at all and have no idea how i would go about adjusting these frames, struggling a little with the size as well, the red eye part is slightly stretched and no matter what i try when resizing the images i can't get it to look quite right.
Also, i tried to get the last set of frames from the original to loop, but when i tried doing this there was a noticable blank section before starting the loop, so i just renamed the frames again and again until it was just about long enough. Probably the completely wrong way of doing it but like i said...i know nothing!
try asking tattari for help, he is great with photoshop, and his team are all good devs.
Thanks, i'll send him a pm and see if he can offer any advice/help.
I have managed to get it in proportion now, although it doesn't quite fill the whole screen but still looks good.
The only problem i see with it is with 5 images in the transition between human eye to robot eye, you can see the lines from the picture being a different size.
I have pm'd the lad who made the original to make sure he is ok with me trying to get it on my X, but looking from his profile he doesn't come on here anymore. (CYBERxNUKE)
Almost got this ready, will be available soon.
Need someone to test this who has bootanimation in /data/local
Aroma installer works fine for /system/customize/resource, just need to check with other Bootanimation locations.
Why can't I manually copy the file? installer not needed I guess.where is the file that u want to test.I'll be glad to do it.

You could manually install it if you extract the bootanimation.zip, just trying to make it easier...i've Pm'd you the download link if you wish to try the installer. Also could you let me know if the delete bootsound option works?
Any feedback would be much appreciated.

KitKat Easter Egg BootAnimation By AbhishekS
Download Here
http://d-h.st/E7L
(couldn't attach to XDA as the limit for a zip on XDA is around 11mb)
So guys I was bored and decided to make a KitKat Easter Egg Bootanimation for my phone so that I can flaunt KitKat in front of my friends while booting the device too.
I pretty much liked the outcome so thought of sharing it with all of you.
The size of the zip is big for a bootanimation (32mb) because all the images used are of full 1280x720 resolution.
Installation:
To install, simply copy the zip file to system/media and give the permissions as rw-r-r (ie 644)

(couldn't attach to XDA as the limit for a zip on XDA is around 11mb)
The video doesn't look too good as it's just for 5 seconds. But believe me it looks fantastic as the bootanimation on the phone because I have looped it.
Good work.

You can use .jpg format and reduce a little bit the frames quality ( -10-20%) to get smaller boot size without affect the quality
Anyway...beautiful boot

Glad you liked it. But I wonder what's wrong with the download counter of dev host. Two of my friends just downloaded the bootanimation in front of me and the counter still shows 0.
Anyways, I have used JPEGs only. And I thought of reducing the quality, but there is an outer glow behind the KitKat Android Bot which would look very bad on reducing even little bit of quality. So I decided to keep the maximum quality.

Can you by chance give us a preview of the boot animation or if it is a stock animation let us know?
Missed what was posted.
I tried this animation a while ago myself.
I thought it was kind of cool.
But due to it being made for android wear devices, I didn't care for how large the images appear.(resolution)
(ie: sun dial looking thing representing a watch/clock/time)
Definitely an alternative some folks may enjoy though, so thanks for sharing. :good:
