Change initial load screen..

Not the splash screen, not the boot animation, but the screen that appears shortly after your phone loads and you unlock it. the white HTC screen, or on fresh EVO, the black fresh screen that loads just before Sense is loaded.
I'm not using any Kitchen, just manually editing everything by hand.

The png is located somewhere in the framework-res.apk I believe. Look under /drawable-hdpi I think I saw it there.

[Q] Can someone make me a DroidX/Sprint4g bootup animation.zip plzzzz

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

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.

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.

[Q] Sense ROM custom shutdown animation?

So I've been making attempts at replacing my shutdown animation (on Evil's Sense G2-Z ROM), but have been having troubles.
I've created a shutdown animation at the same resolution as the original, and put that into a downanimation.zip with folder "android" and desc.txt, which sets the parameters for the shutdown animation (the downanimation.zip goes into /system/customize/resource). The desc.txt is the exact same as that in the original downanimation.zip. As far as I can tell, the only differences between my downanimation.zip and the original is file size (their images are very plain, whereas mine are a bit more detailed) and the timestamp.
Now here's where it gets really quite weird. If I edit one image and replace it from the original shutdown animation, it stops working. Which made me think that there's something messed up with how I'm zipping my files. BUT if I change the name of my downanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip (in the same folder as downanimation.zip), and reboot my phone, my shutdown animation works just fine as the startup animation.
So. Anyone have any ideas how to change the shutdown animation, or on what I'm doing wrong?

What are you using to zip the files?

Yemuzip on OS X.

have you found a solution yet?
ive done the same thing, encountered a weird problem tho.
it only accepts a zip which is set to store not compressed for boot but shutdown none works.. i wonder if it is the file size that is the issue or something else.
if i changed the shutdown/downanimation i cannot boot into bootloader "pwr+vol down" on desire HD. have to boot to clockwork and adb shell rm /system/customize/resources/shutdown.zip/downanimation.zip and then it can boot into bootloader again but shutdown/restart screen would be blank.. weird.

Yes all guides I've seen say that the bootanimation.zip on the Desire HD (/data/local/) needs to be zipped without compression (using "store" method of compression). I would assume it's safe to do the same thing for the shutdown animation. Thanks for the folder where the shutdown animations are stored on the Desire HD. I was having a little trouble finding it as it's different from other android phones. Just a spelling error though, it's /system/customize/resource/ not "resources"

SOLVED here. Tq.

Inc 2 - Windows OS BIOS boot animation

I found this file here that changes the default Droid boot animation to make it look like a Windows OS BIOS startup.
Here's a link:
http://www60.zippyshare.com/v/89887917/file.html
[UPDATE]: I figured since I posted it, id try it. ClockWork errored out on it but luckily the phone still booted back up just fine.

Actually it is for HTC Desire, and that file has a SystemUI.apk in it and could potentially F UP ur ROM. just as caution.

hmm... there is a SystemUI.apk file on the Incredible 2 in /system/app
i haven't tried it out yet myself though as i just barely put that black screen on.
[EDIT] that .zip file also has a "bootanimation.zip" file placed in /system/customize/resource/ and on the Incredible 2 there is also a bootanimation.zip file in the exact same place.

I am well aware of both files. I have my splash screen and boot animation edited to my liking. but any android phone running gingerbread has a SystemUI.apk.. and that isn't compatible with our phone. not every boot animation or splash screen will work either.. we are 480 x 800 BTW..

[Q] Boot animation

Why are boot animations i am downloading not working? I'm making sure they are .zip and are named "boot animation.zip". I'm placing them in /data/local like i am told to but still just my normal stock boot animation, Any suggestions?

The boot animation files are located in system/customize/resource. You'll have to match the name exactly to what the current animation is. Usually bootanimation.zip or hTC_bootup.zip (I think those are the right names)

thanks for your reply, i just checked what you said and all it shows up for me is /system/customize. No resource. when i go to /system/media/ there is a boot animation.zip but whenever i replace it, some random "android" boot logo appears. Is it that I'm on a GPE rom?
