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).

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

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.

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:

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.

This is tutorial for how to put sound with boot animation
first download attached file bootsound.zip
then extract it
you find two files
one is bootsnd.sh put this file directly in sdcard
second file is soundatboot.zip it is cwm flashable zip so in cwm mount system and sdcard then install this zip file
then reboot
now open terminal eluminator
then type following(after each command push enter)
su
cd /sdcard (there is space after cd )
sh bootsnd.sh
reboot
now when reboot there is music with bootanimation
when want to change music rename your desire sound to android_audio.mp3 and copy to system/media/
then reboot
i have this error in terminal emulator:
cd /sdcard: not found
edited: now ok!!!! (there should be space after cd )
Hold on: first, clean up the article a little more, I can't understand you very well.
Second, explain a little bit more about that script your using; what it does and whatnot.
I may know what is going on in here but what about the newbs? C'mon, do it better mate Thanks!

it works ! thanks...
hello, i already followed your guide without error, but i still couldn't get any sound when booting, im using cm7 kaang beta2,
i also changed my boot animation from THIS thread.
should i change the bootanimation back to the stock animation from cm7?
oh yeah, i also tested it by putting mp3 files in the /system/media where the bootanimation also exists, still,no luck so far,
don't know where it go wrong, since i didn't get any error when running the command in terminal, and when installing the soundaboot.zip, i didn't get any error message either in the cmw

But nothing happens, no sound at all. I even tried doing the whole process from scratch, including the script part. Any thoughts on this?

And changed permissions to rw-r-r ?
If doing this nothing happen just extract that zip file and put your sound in media folder then again zip and install then

Here is an interesting article that will help you if you want CRT screen Off animation like in Nexus S:
http://www.freeyourandroid.com/guide/enable-crt-animation
Worked with no problems on my SGC with Rogers ROM.
I actually used NinjaMorph to package the modified resources.arsc into framework-res.apk, but I assume the original method will work too.

Aquethys said:

Probably no. Most likely you will end up with phone freezing on the Samsung logo at boot. framework-res.apk files are not interchangeable between models, maybe not even between firmware versions for the same phone.
Can you post a step by step guide then? I can't really understand anything here
The step-by-step instructions from the link in the first post are pretty much what i did. Read the comment by ravenstark - if you mount the filesystem with root explorer there will be no need to execute the commands in red in section 8.
The instructions from the link in your post cover steps 3-7. You still have to download the file to your PC (1), decompile it (2) and upload it back to the phone once you are done with it (8).
For the first step which terminal do you use??
(Free Your Android guide)
adb. If you don't have you can download it from here. It is part of the SDK and probably the most essential tool.
The command is exactly as written there
Aquethys said:

(Free Your Android guide)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What do you mean? If you're using a Windows PC, then just open up a cmd prompt. You should read the guides at the beginning of that page so you know how to setup adb and the apk tool.
The big picture is this. Connect your pc to computer, pull file from phone to PC using adb, modify file on PC, push file back to phone using adb.
For what it's worth, here's a thread I wrote quite a long time ago, some is not applicable for the Glide, but most of it still applies. If you're going to be mucking around in your phone it's best to know how to do a few things first. Read Before Flashing.
When I try and open SDK or AVD (what's the difference :| ) then I just get a quick terminal screen that closes.
It would be appreciated if someone could just create a flashable CWM version >_<
I hate my inexperience @ this. It keeps saying this isn't "adb" isn't recognized, but I've downloaded it! How can I check?!

Ok, so what have you done so far?
What should be done. Assuming you're using Windows, install the Android SDK. Once installed, launch the SDK Manager. Then from the list of installable options, choose the Platform Tools and I always like to get the drivers. Once done, you will have this path, CrogramFiles(x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools, now you could add this path to your variables in Windows, which would be easiest, or copy the Platform-tools folder to C:. Then plug in your phone via USB to your computer.
Now, if you added the Path to your variables, just go Start>Run>cmd, and at the cmd prompt type adb devices. If you see a device you're good.
If you copied the Platform-tools folder over, then Start>Run>cmd, and in the cmd prompt type,
C:
then
cd platform-tools
then
adb devices
Beyond that, can't really help, never use apk tool. Good luck.

Hopefully the file tcfx44 posted works for you. Either way, I highly suggest you learn how to use adb and some other tools if you plan on flashing your phone in the future. It could prove useful some day.
Will this apply over OsiMood? I really am not sure if I am using the Rogers, but apparently I am because in XDA App it says I927-R and same with a benchmark.
Doesn't work for OsI mood 2.1.30 or whatever version was released today. I don't want to give up the amazing UI and stuff of OSi. I'm working fine though, so doesn't look like the install failed or bricked. Any revisions?

Nope.

Probably not much use at all. Zeppelinrox originally created it for phones with low amounts of memory (originated on the milestone which has 256mb and would constantly kill the launcher etc), I'm not sure if anythings changed now in the script, but we have heaps of memory, and I just don't see the point.
That's weird... this device has the most supercharged services.jar downloads...

Could you give us a quick rundown of what you did?? Specifically did you do that whole process about ODEX/DEODEX roms??
Make sure you have terminal emulator before replacing your services.Jar!
First use root browser to copy your services.Jar to your sdcard it is in the /system/framework folder.
Then go to http://android.mimic.ca and upload your services.Jar file.
Afterwards, I downloaded the modified services.Jar because the flashable cwm option didn't work for me.
I copied the modified services.Jar to /system then changed its permissions to the same permissions of the other .jar files in the /system/framework folder.
Then move the services.Jar with changed permissions to the /system/framework folder.
Once you have done that, open up terminal emulator.
Type this out, and press enter when said:
Su enter
Cd /system/framework enter
Chown 0.0 services.Jar enter
Chmod 644 services.Jar enter
Then reboot!
Start Up script manager.
Browse to the supercharger v6 pdf and click on it. Press su to run the script with superuser permissions.
The script will load and is mostly self explanatory. It will take you through the options when you first run it. I put the text scrolling on fast and disable the animation and integrate when it asks.
When you get back to the main menu, I usually use option 10. It calculates what minfree values to use based on the ram of the phone.
After all this, reboot once more and run the script again to see if you are 100% supercharged!
EDIT: if you run into bootloops by moving your services.Jar incorrectly, then just reflash your rom without wiping.

Option 10 shouldn't ask you to input anything else. It should use the minfree calculator and set itself. Are you using update9 RC7? If it still isn't working for you, then try option 8 which should be the 768 settings

I have been banging my head against the wall for days now regarding this problem and can't quite figure it out. I created my own boot animation and was able to get that running just fine. I wanted to add a boot sound as well, so I did my homework and followed the instructions to a T. I resolved an error that I was getting while running the command sh bootsnd.sh, but even after it ran successfully I still was left with no boot sound. In the /system/media folder I have an mp3 named android_audio.mp3. I also verified that the build.prop file in the system folder had the line ro.config.play.bootsound=1 in it as well. I am currently running CM9 RC2 on my T-Mobile G2. Is there something I am missing? Can the G2 even play boot sounds? Has anyone gotten boot sounds to run on their G2? If so, how? Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated and thank you all in advance for any help you may be able to provide.

I double checked to make sure, but yeah the permissions were set correctly.
I can run the command 'stagefright -a -o /system/media/android_audio.mp3' from the terminal and it plays the sound without a problem.

Are you calling it in desc.txt inside the bootanimation? I'm sure that's a part of it.
-Nipqer
I don't know if this makes a difference at all, but in the rom I use (EliteMod ICS, modified CM9 kernel, AOKP rom), seems you need to only place an boot_audio.mp3 file into /system/media/ , much like how you place boot animation.zip in /system/media, and chmod 644

I did some additional research and did find a few references to adding the audio to the desc.txt file by adding a line like this 's android_audio.mp3' to it. I tried doing this and it borked the entire thing. On the reboot I saw the HTC logo, then was met by a black screen with no sound for a few moments before my home screen appeared.

Hi, I am currently using stock JB with a couple of mods/extras i managed to link in via the kitchen. But frustratingly so I cannot change the boot image and are hoping with appreciation someone in here can direct me. So far I have tried everything I am capable of. That is from within the kitchen enabling the function which is suppose to allow you to change your boot animation. Although it gives you the tick and creates a different directory for your boot animation this still doesn't work. I have tried replacing hTC_boot_one.zip file but does not work. Whenever i do replace or alter that file the boot starts as normal with white htc and then goes to black with android with a back light rolling from side to side, like kit in night rider. I also have tried flashing Mattmans-Boot-Animation which uses aroma installer. Still didnt work and as far as I know it just added the file in system/customize/resource/. There appears to be a command file preventing any changes internally in stock. Really appreciate and hope someone can help. Thanks in advance......happy new years.....:good:

Although it gives you the tick and creates a different directory for your boot animation this still doesn't work. I have tried replacing hTC_boot_one.zip file but does not work. Whenever i do replace or alter that file the boot starts as normal with white htc and then goes to black with android with a back light rolling from side to side, like kit in night rider. I also have tried flashing Mattmans-Boot-Animation which uses aroma installer. Still didnt work and as far as I know it just added the file in system/customize/resource/. There appears to be a command file preventing any changes internally in stock. Really appreciate and hope someone can help. Thanks in advance......happy new years.....:good:

Dude. I think you need root your rom to get custom boot (-:
There're a lot ready-to-go tools for booting animation
Good luck !

Its my own custom rom but this little simple thing i cannot get around. I can only semis that within stock base there's a system file preventing any change...
Have you mounted system as rw? In root explorer you just press the button, not sure on other apps, and have you set the right permissions? rw-r--r-- to match everything else in system/customize/resource.

Thanks for your help. Not sure what you mean by mount the system as rw. The permissions - yes always changed permissions when trying to replace the hTC_bootup_one.zip file. Cheers...

If system is mounted as ro (read only) you can't change anything in the folder, this is the default setting I think and it needs to be mounted as rw to allow changes.
You could try to rename something in the system directory and if it doesn't actually change then you need to change it, or check if the filesize of the boot animation you replace changes.
Like I said, rootexplorer app changes it with a tap of the button, not sure what else to use

Thanks again. No problem renaming any file within system so I guess it is mounted as rw. As to file size, i have tried different file sizes and identical file sizes to the hTC_boot_one.zip file. I have even tried using the same Zip file and just replacing with different images. Making sure to end up with the same values. Nothing seems to work.
Strange, I had rooted stock Rom and it worked fine, maybe you have the wrong format of files or haven't zipped as store only, no compression. I assume it is a sense one x Rom?
Maybe try this one I made for the Rom I use
