Hi All, I made some custom bootanimations for my Galaxy SII and decided to share them here, Terminator 2 Reboot and Jurassic Park Reboot sequences.
Instructions
Files at the end of this post, extract the bootanimation and poweron files first.
Copy the bootanimation.zip file to your phone in the System/Media directory.
If you have an existing bootanimation, either move it to a new folder or rename it to something like bootanimation.zip.back
Copy the PowerOn.wav file to your phone in the System/etc directory.
If you have an existing PowerOn.wav, either move it to a new folder or rename it to something like PowerOn.wav.back
Use a file explorer, i recommend ES File Explorer, you'll need to be rooted
Terminator II - Remember when the T1000 'takes' out the Terminator? This is the Reboot sequence which follows shortly, seamlessly followed by the Power Down sequence when he is lowered down in to the molten metal. Looks pretty good on the SII and looks the part. Try and it and you'll see

Jurassic Park - Dennis takes Jurassic Park offline, and the only way to bring back on is to Reboot the entire system. My favourite of the two, the blue tint on this and the flick of the switch for the Reboot just makes it so relevant for the SII powering up. Not to mention the opening line, "Hold on to your butts!"

Note: the sound for this one might be on a little low side for some, if you like it leave me some feedback and i'll up the volume.
Try them and let me know what you think, works fine on my current set up, Checkrom V6, Siyah 2.6.9
Make sure your kernel supports custom boot animations before trying, and you're using a Stock Based Rom (feel free to try it on CM7 etc and leave feedback if its working!)
Didn't seem to work on DHD running CM7
If you like them, show your appreciation, leave some feedback and HIT THE THANKS BUTTON. If the feedback is good i'll try and upload some more classics

When I turn on my phone I want it to say/show "Droid" followed by the sprint HTC Evo 4g bootup screen/sound too.
I would do this but It's probably going to be harder than putting both in the same folder as the timing has to be matched.....
I am almost certain that the system for EVO only allows 1 splash pic, 1 boot up animation & 1 mp3. I was able to use pushboot and change my bootsound to say DROID and animation to the Droid eye thanks to a thread by 12maNy.
Copy and paste this [BOOT ANIMATION] Custom Boot Animation by 12MaNy into Google and it will bring you to his thread. I am new to the forum so I am blocked from inserting links at the moment.
Good Luck!!
Yeah I figured you only can have one zip file. But I'm thinking you can glue both of the sips together making them one zip file
with both animations together in one zip ? Eh?

It's not that hard as it's made out to be. if i get a sec, I'll see what i can do. you don't need two zips, you only need to unzip the sprint boot animation and also the droidx. Delelet all the animation after the words Droid are shown and put them in the same folder as the sprint animation, then rename the pics to follow one another In other words you will have to move the sprint numbers down, so you can rename the Droid pics to start first. as for the MP3's you will have to run them through a program that allows for creating one mp3 out of two.
Thanks abu if you get around to it

Changed files added below.
ok I'll give this a try
update: hmmm something didn't go right. Put the animation.zip file in pushboot folder. Then opened the splice.zip folder and got the MP3 file out and put it inside the pushboot folder beside the animation.zip file. Then clicked pushboot2, followed the directions into recovery mode. Told me to reboot my phone and I still get the sprint 4g bootup screen. hmm
I'll test it tonight.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It probably loops after so many frames.
Boot animation plays droid then the original sprint 4g bootup with the sound.
The sound is timed to how it plays on my evo so ymmv.
Disclaimer: This is not refined as far as image sizes and quality. I simply threw it together to fill a request.
Annex my first contribution is a combination of animation and logo android umbrella with your sound on ...
Discuss ... I hope you like it.
install -
have to be root
decompressed file only poweron.zip
Log in with root explorer>> copied the attachments (poweron.ogg and bootanimation.zip)>> go to / system / media and replace with the file bootanimation.zip poweron.ogg
Reset and Ready!
basically useless...
-not in english
-no install info nothing ...
cool i gonna take the ogg only
I reflashed CM10 with this, but the bootloader onyl plays it once and then it is like: How about no. and it stops, then u have black screen while starting
GOOD NEWS!
You can now use .mp4 video files as your boot animations (if you didn't see it on the portal). You can follow the directions here (you must be rooted for the new method to work):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-university/guide-set-video-bootanimationtesters-t2915445
Also, because I was testing to see if things would work I whipped up a new animation for everyone. Nothing fancy, just a good old timely classic from my childhood. A custom (orginal) Playstation boot screen re-worked with a new 3d logo, etc. etc.
I will be giving directions for the new video method, but I am also uploading files if you want to do it the old way.
PREVIEW:
FLASHABLE ZIPS NOTE:
The first flashable zip replaces ONLY the boot animation in the "/system/media" directory and is the video type. It makes no other changes.
The second flashable zip is intended for Sprint stock based sense roms and is also the video type. The zip not only contains the bootanimation, but also a backup of the original "default.xml" file in "/system/customize/CID" and the original "bootanimation" binary in the "/system/bin" directory. This is in case you would like to go back to the old image sequence based bootanimations.
DIRECTIONS:
VIDEO:
First, download the "bootanimation" binary from the link above. Make a backup of your current "bootanimation" binary in the directory "/system/bin" and then copy the new binary you downloaded into that same directory. Change the permission of the binary file to 0755 and you are done with that.
Next, copy whichever video "bootanimation.zip" file you want into the "/system/media" directory and change the files permissions to 0644 / rw-r-r.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
For Sprint stock users you need to do one more thing. Get a file manager for android and edit the "default.xml" file located in the directory "/system/customize/CID". Open the file to edit and scroll down till you see this sequence:
Code:
<BootConfiguration>
<BootAnimation animation="/system/customize/resource/***whateverbootanimation.zip***" />
and change it to this:
Code:
<BootConfiguration>
<BootAnimation animation="/system/media/bootanimation.zip" />
reboot and enjoy!
Questions, problems, further clarification... I'm happy to help. Just leave a comment.
If you want to use any of the bootanimations I have created, go right ahead. You have permission. All I ask is that you make mention of where you got the animation and that I created it. Pretty simple. :good:
Hold on, shouldn't boot animations be in picture format? Last time I tried flashing an mp4, my boot animation wouldn't play. Now no other boot animations play no matter how I change it. How can this be possible?

A Simple yet amazing boot animation. People who hate long boot time, can try this boot animation. it will boot your device within a few seconds and also make it more appealing. I am sure you will love it. 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.

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!
