Boot animations using time lapse video from the International Space Station. This is my first boot animation. I've tested it on two Gnexus phones, both running different versions of AOKP. But it should work on any rom.
Instructions:
This is NOT a flashable zip.
Download the animation zip file.
Rename to "bootanimation.zip"
Place in /data/local/
Reboot, and don't blame me if you break something

I plan on making more of these. Nasa has a lot of neat videos up and they seem to be updating them frequently.
(Note: I've also re-sized this for the Transformer 101 and posted here)

can someone make it a zip
I've fixed the original animation so that it loops properly now. (Mental note for boot animation creators: Remember to delete the hidden thumbs.db file that windows creates or it stops your animation >.< )
Also I've added a new animation of the sunrise lighting up the earth. This one turned out quite nicely.

If there is sufficient interest I try to teach myself the art of flashable zips. I haven't yet made one, and it is quite easy to copy the files around using something like Root Explorer, but I agree flashable zips are easiest.

You can easily do it yourself. Just find a flashable bootanimation.zip from this site, open it, delete that bootanimation.zip, and place in this bootanimation.zip. It's not rocket science . If you want to change the message that is displayed when flashing, open updater.script with a text editor like notepad++ (\META-INF\com\google\android\updater.script).

Presenting:
A Unofficial Cyanogen(mod) 9 Boot Animation!
This boot animation is meant to be an homage to my favorite ROM. When I saw what was to be the new boot animation for cyanogen(mod) 9 I was somewhat disappointed (and I know that I was not the only one). So I decided to take an afternoon to create my own boot animation.
THIS IS INTENDED FOR PHONES WITH A SCREEN RESOLUTION OF 480x800!
For anyone who does not know, this is how you install a boot animation. This is using the Root Explorer method. I believe a free alternative is called Root Browser:
Browse to /system/media and backup bootanimation.zip to a safe location
Rename this boot animation to bootanimation.zip
Place the new bootanimation.zip on your SD card
Navigate to where you saved the new bootanimation.zip and copy it
Browse to /system/media and paste the new bootanimation.zip replacing the old one
Here are some images until I can get a video in here:
Render time: 0:50:41
Mirrors:
MediaFire
If you like my work please hit the THANKS button.
Thanks to:
-Cyanogen(mod) team for their great rom
-despotovski01 for his Boot Animation Creator
If any one could make a YouTube video of this animation in action, I would love to give you credit.
This is really cool thanks for sharing

Haha, I know right? Sometimes I wipe dalvik cache just to get to see the whole animation, lol
I'm just seeing this boot ani now, could someone reupload because I'd love it, however the mirror is down.
I have a request/would like some help in taking my boot animation that I used on my EVO and bring it over to my new SGS3.
I'm not sure where the boot animation goes for the galaxy, as to which directory, I looked around with root explorer but cannot find the bootanimation.zip.
Does the galaxy have a different format for boot animations?
Is there a program I can convert my existing animation?
Here is an image of the final boot

bootanimation.zip is in the system/media folder
but only if you have a kernel that supports it.
My JellyBomb Domination theme has a kernel that supports it, as well as a custom boot animation.
as far as making it work, you need to decompile the bootanimation.zip, and resize all the images to 720x1280. also u need to edit the .txt document in the bootanimation to play at the correct size, speed and number of loops.
try using bootanimation factory. it will work.
Good Luck.

Perfect, exactly what I needed. Might take a bit of tweaking to get the picture set right but I'm on the right path.
Thanks Joshbeach
I TOOK THE LIBERTY OF FINISHING THIS FOR YOU!
This will work with version 10.0 of my theme - JellyBomb Domination.
Just got to CWM, and flash this .zip. (this will only work if Kernel supports custom bootanimation)
DOWNLOAD BOOTANIMATION.ZIP HERE
IF YOU LIKE THIS BOOT ANIMATION, THANK ME...
IF YOU LOVE IT, WHY NOT DONATE TO ME.
After messing around with this for ages to get it resized and booted, I finally got there and figured I'd share it here for the rest of you to use if you wish.
I can't seem to get this in landscape but it still looks fine in portrait anyway
Download link - http://d-h.st/61Q
*NOTE* This isn't a flashable zip.
Instructions
*Download above file.
*Delete the current bootanimation (Can be found in system/customize/resource but may be different dependant on what ROM you're using)
*OPTIONAL - You can delete the boot up noise aswell if you wish.
*Put this in it's place.
*Reboot and it should be all good.
You may wanna do a backup first incase you don't like it and want to revert back.
EDIT - As the preview didn't want to show up, check out this video to see it in action.
I tried but I did not have the directory system/customize/resource but instead system/media/bootanimation/bootanimation.zip..
I renamed the file to bootanimation.zip and moved my old file out of the directory and replaced with new file. I still got my OPPO kernel splash but the bootani was blank. Dark screen and I could see my capacitive keys light up like it was going though the animation but there was nothing there.. just black on the screen :-/
Not sure what I did wrong

Try doing a backup and then deleting the current boot animation and try it again. It might be conflicting with the default animation.
I'll try at some point. I'm only stock rooted right now so my recovery is pretty limited but that'll change soon!

Bump.
Anyone other than me tried this yet?

I installed it today. Looks pretty good, and very appropriate for the first custom boot animation to be installed on my phone.
Put this into landscape mode for you....
XDA Tv zip (rename to hTC_bootup_one or whatever your animation is named and replace the current file with this.

Check your permissions are set to rw-r-r on the file. I also believe the bootanimation folder is unecessary as the bootanimation.zip should be in the /system/media folder.
Inspired by the sexy new GE bootsplash, I've made this HTC One branded version.
Simply flash via recovery as per normal.
Tested and works on ARHD, other ROMs may need to rename the bootanimation.zip to suit.
I also have an ARHD branded version here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43007646&postcount=29487

Check /system/customize/resource and see what the animation filenames are. The zip flashes bootanimation.zip, but not all roms use that filename. It's really better to extract the animation file and move it over manually, and set permissions. That way you can make sure the filenames are correct and backup your stock animation.
had to rename to hTC_bootup.one.zip on TRICKDROID

I wasn't sure how to extract and move it manually, so I checked that folder and found the files named htc_bootup_one.zip and htc_downanimation.zip. So I replaced both of them with the bootanimation.zip file. The bootup works perfectly, but the bootdown for some reason is at the very top of the screen instead of in the middle. Is there any way to fix this?
tnks that looks beatiful , but how is the quality in 5" 1080P
Revamped boot animation
Love the GE boot animation, but it was too short for my stock AT&T rom; i got the 'Android is starting' screen. So I did a quick touch up from the original animation the OP posted. Colors will loop around correctly. And a bonus for AT&T users, the startup music matches up nicely.
Depending on the ROM, you'll have to rename the zip to the correct name the ROM uses for boot animation.
For Samsung Galaxy Note 3
I've taken the liberty of creating the .qmg version of the cyan nexus boot animation since Samsung decided to pull a douche bag move by creating their own boot animation setup. It is very cumbersome, to say the least, to get custom boot animations without the standard "bootanimation.zip". The stock boot animation annoys me with the bright white Verizon splash in it.
Keep in mind these are based off the original so it will be stretched (and a tad grainy) to fit the Note 3's resolution. I've had to edit each and every individual frame in Photoshop to give it a 16:9 aspect ratio so that it doesn't become distorted and stretched out of it's proper parameters. It's not completely awful but it's not super crisp either. Now that I've figured out how to do it I'll be moving on to boot animations made for higher resolution phones so they look crisp. But this is the first time converting one for me.
1. First and foremost obviously you must be rooted and have root explorer.
2. Download and extract the zip in the attachments to your phone or push them through from the computer. It contains the 2 files needed for a bootanimation.
3. It is also always good practice to backup your phone in safestrap made possible by Hascode, MANY thanks for that.
4. Once you have everything, open root explorer and navigate to system/media and backup two files "bootsamsung.qmg" AND "bootsamsungloop.qmg".
5. After backing them up to another location on your internal or external storage, delete them from system/media and replace them with the 2 files that you extracted from the zip. Reboot and enjoy a non-stock Verizon-Free bootanimation.
Of course this is at your own risk, but it worked for me.
