Post Your Bootanimations Here

06/23/11
I have complied the original post's off all the bootanimation threads in the G2/DZ forum. Feel free to add your bootanimations to this list. Please do not ask questions in this thread. It is only intended to have final bootanimations.

[WIP] Post Your Bootanimations Here
I really like the stock G2 boot image, but without being animated, it felt very stiff and boring. So I added some animation to it. It's very simple, with the fading grey lines at the top and bottom moving to the left slowly:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(this is a low quality GIF, the actual animation looks better, I promise)
I made this mostly for myself, but it turned out better than I expected so I wanted to share it. This is my very first boot animation, so be gentle in your criticism. This is an 800x480 boot animation, so it should work on other devices with that screen resolution, though I don't know why you'd want a G2 boot screen on your Nexus One or Droid Incredible.
To use this animation, use adb or a root explorer app to put the file in /data/local and make sure it's named bootanimation.zip. The file is attached below, or you can download it from MediaFire.
UPDATE: I just finished the modified version of this boot animation that replaces the T-Mobile logo with the HTC logo. Aside from that, they're the same. The new one is attached below, or you can grab it from MediaFire.
Enjoy!

I didn't make the original work. I just modified the information so that it tailored the specs of the G2.
Code:
adb devices (optional, only to see if adb sees your phone)
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
(if this doesn't work, try pushing to /system/media also)
Now to test if it worked type:
Code:
adb shell bootanimation
<press ctrl+c to quit>
Info on BIOS is for G2.
*Update* 01/03/11
All the updates are in! 800 MHz is made per request.
Added Gingerbread versions for those running 2.3!
Rename file to "bootanimation.zip", then follow instructions above.
Enjoy!
*Update* 02/28/11
Added CM6 and CM7 version for those using Flippy125's Kernel.
Okay...WE NOW HAVE SOUND!!
First off, thanks to mrdaviso for script and instructions from spiicytuna.
My apologies to amazinglarry311, credit goes to him/her for the enablesound script.
enablebootsound scripts can be found here:
Enable Sound Boot
Here's how I did it:
Flash zip file from recovery.
reboot
Place android_audio.mp3 on sdcard root (change name of android_audio.zip to android_audio.mp3)
adb shell(I am assuming you are root)
enablebootsound(mine wasn't already enabled)
newbootsound
You can also use this script to install bootanimation now. ( I still prefer the old way)
place bootanimation.zip on sdcard root
newbootanim
A "Thanks" will do.

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.

****Disclaimer!!! I am not responsible for any errors or issues that may come from using these directions. This method has been tested and used by me on the T-Mobile G2 ONLY.****
Ok, I like playing with boot animations on my device. And I have this quirk for running everything I can on the device, rather than through ADB, unless I have to. While digging through assorted threads, here and abroad, I ran across a nifty app called GScript lite, free on the Market, and amazingly useful. On another thread, someone pointed out that if you copy a boot animation to /data/local, it will take precedence over any boot animations that your favorite ROM may install. So, I decided to simplify changing boot ani's, so I can swap them around whenever I feel like it. I now have it down to about 30 sec, and decided to post this for everyone interested to try it. Ok, so, here's the details;
Requirements: GScript lite, file manager, new boot animations
1) Download the animation you want to try to your SDcard
2) Copy the zip to /mnt/sdcard
3) Rename animation file "bootanimation.zip"
4) Open GScript and hit menu
a) Type in whatever you want to call the script in the top
box
b) Make sure "Needs SU?" is checked
c) Type cp /mnt/sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local
<enter>
reboot
d) Now hit "save"
5) Just press your scriptname in the list and enjoy!
From here on out, to change boot animations, all you need to do is copy the renamed file to SD root, and click on that script, phone will reboot showing your brand new animation. "Share and Enjoy!"
I'd like to thank the GScript devs for a very useful tool, and Kaanha for the commands
Click the Thanks button if this helps you.

Bootanimation for CM7.
"CM7-3D"
1. Download bootanimation.zip
2. Put it on your sdcard
3. open terminal enter these commands:
su
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /system/media/
reboot
If it doesn't work in /system/media, try in /system/local
You can also use any root explorer app to move this from your sd card manually.
DO NOT TRY AND FLASH FROM RECOVERY, IT DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY.
Enjoy.

Here are some bootanimations I created. Some of these are pointless. I just made them to mess with my friends.
Im open to input, sugestions, etc....as I want to create a more smoother version.
::Instruction::
Download the zip and place it in /system/media
You should already have a file named bootanimation.zip...simply replace it with the downloaded one, of course renaming to bootanimation.zip
If it doesn't work in /system/media than
try in /system/local
**********
You all should know the warnings, so dont bother unless you know what your doing.

::Marvel:: V1.2 (3/21/11)
This version is different from the first version. I thought the images looked better, however I had to play with them in order to get a good enough flow.
I also added an old school ending.
Thanks to al28283 for making the video, and to everyone else in the community who made these mods possible!

Thanks and have fun!

Was about to say that lol. Good work tho.
I know you probably intend to create an animation, with thoes files, but with the current setup, you could have just left it with one png and set the fps to 1 ...since there is no animation.
Cant wait to see what you crank out...feel free to share.
Goodluck.

Here are four bootanimations I did.
Please be gentle, they are my first attemps.
Images:
I need help though. I find it very hard to find gifs at 480x800. Does this mean that if I have to make my own?

[WIP] Post Your Bootanimations Here
Enjoy!
btw the gif is laggier than the bootanimation because the gif has a lower framerate than what I set for the bootanimation

This is a port of another boot animation I saw in another thread (if anyone knows which one, let me know and I'll give the original author credit). If you want the added "fatality dun-dun-dunnnnnnn" sound, download the attached "android_audio.zip" file, unzip it, and put it in /system/media (if you're running a CM-based Gingerbread build like GingerVillain 1.5 or PyroMod 1.1, rename finishhim.zip as bootanimation.zip, put android_audio.mp3 and bootanimation.zip on the root of your SD card, and follow this guide).
*psst...this boot animation might be illegal in Australia *

Hey Guys. Here is the boot animation extracted from the Destroyed ROM which, to the best of my knowledge, was only available for the EVO. I I thought it looked pretty cool so I had my friend extract it for me and I thought I'd share it with you guys. I hope you like it!
Installing:
I'm not sure how other people like to install their boot animations, however if you don't know how here is how I do it:
*Must have super user permissions
1.Download and Open Terminal Emulator from the android market
2.Download bootanimation.zip from this thread and put it on your sd card
3.Enter this code into Terminal Emulator:
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
cp /locationOfFile/bootanimation.zip /system/media
where the /locationOfFile/bootanimation.zip would just be the directory where you have the zip file. if you just put it on the root of your sd card it would be /sdcard/bootanimation.zip and if you downloaded it using your phone it would probably be under /sdcard/download/bootanimation.zip
restart your phone and it should work. Hope this helps!
Edit:
*Be sure to backup your old bootanimation.zip if you think you may ever want to go back to it!

Hello, I tried searching around but couldn't find any similar problem.
I've created my own bootanimation.zip which can be downloaded here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=576GF823 Its Red Wings Related, showing the Center Ice at Joe Louis Arena, then an awesome goal by zetterberg, then loops center ice again. That all works great.
The problem I've run into is that the first time it plays any of the animations they are slow. and when I'm only playing the goal once it goes in slow mo, if i loop it, the 2nd time it plays fast as it should. Is there anyway to fix this? I originally was just doing the goal, then the center ice on loop. I tried putting 1 center ice first, hoping it would take the lag and allow the goal to play full speed, but it doesn't.
Any help is appreciated.

Omg so kewls

I would seriously enjoy a boot animation done with the Android Police video Intro.

[HOW TO] Change/Modify Secondary Splash Screen Initrd/logo.rle

I cant bellieve how hard it was to find any info on this topic
I was working on my rom and wanted to change the secondary splash screen image.
I searched around, asked devs and had no success finding a step by step tutorial on how to do this.
Finally after much research I did it! so here i bring you my experience.​
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Boot order
​
1. To modify/change the first boot image go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895089
2. To modify/change the bootanimation go here for some examples:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1129705
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
First we need to establish where this splash image is located,
the image file is called logo.rle and is located here:
(i used 7-zip to view but don't use it to modify)
This is the file we need to change/modify, you can extract it with 7-zip.
Now we need to be able to convert this logo.rle to .png and back to a logo.rle
​
To do this go here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1140406​
Code:
1.run command promt
a.browse to folder with those bat files
-type:cd \users\you\desktop(if located on desktop)
-copy logo.rle to this folder
b.to conver rle to png type: Convert_rle_to_image.bat logo.rle
c.to convert back to rle type: Convert_image_to_rle.bat logo.png
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you have your logo.rle ready now we need to replace the one that came in your initrd.gz
this is harder than i thought, because initrd.gz is a image file it cant be modified with 7-zip
first you will need to be running linux (im running ubuntu on a virtual machine)
once you get linux create a new folder on the desktop called "temp" copy
the initrd.gz to this folder, open applications/accesories/terminal
and browse to the temp folder with the initrd.gz file(mine is "cd /home/isidro/Desktop/temp)
now type
Code:
gunzip -c ./initrd.gz | cpio -i
now in the temp directory you have unpacked initrd.gz. Replace logo.rle then when you're done still in the temp directory type:
Code:
find ./ | cpio -H newc -o | gzip > ./initrd.gz
this will replace the initrd.gz with the modified logo.rle
​
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now just Copy/Replace the modified initrd.gz to your Rom's boot folder and Test!
This worked for me on the HD2 but I would assume it works on any android Rom. Keep in mind this is the best way I could do it, if you know of a better way please share.​

nice compilation...thanks bro

nice work bro
really
but I hope there i some easier way to do it
cuz this involves linux and virtual machines and I dont think many of us have this

Been looking for this for a while now, thank you very much !

very clear! i search for this a long time
THX bro

nice to see some dev sharing their knowledge ...thanks bro

If anybody cant get this to work at all!!!
send me your initrd.gz and your new image and ill give it a go.

thanks for taking so much time for making this excellent article. thanks added.

Excellent tutorial!! Very time consuming process for changing just one image but definitely easy when given step by step instructions.
Thank you for all your hard work and effort!

Ok, please tell me what am I doing wrong- I want to replace the logo.rle from one initrd.gz to another initrd.gz
I extract both with gunzip -c ./initrd.gz | cpio -i into their own separate folders
I copy the logo.rle I want over the logo.rle I want to replace
I do find ./ | cpio -H newc -o | gzip > ./initrd.gz after ensuring the old initrd is not there in the folder
I flash it on my phone, and it wont boot - if I flash same the initrd.gz without replacing the logo.rle, all is fine. I have tried this so many times

works perfect
10x

works nice. thanks.
you know what's nicer?
removing the logo.rle completely.
and what's even nicer than that?
finding the way to do it to clk boot.img
(how to patch it's initrd.gz or kernel)
then what you get is the First Boot Screen (HSPL) and then boot animation directly.
I can find a way to unpack the boot.img and repack it successfully.
If you find this out, that would be great.
Should be possible to do on linux, but I get a corrupted boot.img every time i try.

Is there any way of changing this after the ROM is installed? Unfortunately the ROM I use requires that you flash a kernel .zip after installing it, which then resets the second splash screen.

open the update_kernel.zip with 7zip
replace the initrd.gz with the one with the new image, now just flash
the kernel and that's it

There is guide for change it use Window OS:

Unfortunately though, that doesn't seem to work. It's got a boot.img, so I had to extract that first in Linux, then I replaced logo.rle and recompiled boot.img. I then replaced the old boot.img in the kernel zip file and attempted to flash it, and I can't remember what happened. Either I got a message about update-script being deprecated and was told that installation was aborted, it flashed fine but didn't work, or it stopped my phone working.
tl;dr: I've spent far too long trying to figure out that one little image and in the end decided to just change the first splash screen to match the second one that flashes with the kernel.

I've follow all your staff and when I repack the initrd.gz with ubuntu I get this message error ( in french the message error so I try to translate) : cpio : the file ./initrd.gz is bigger, 163840 new bytes does not have been copied
That is the problem

[MOD][CWM][SCRIPT]Reodex your ROM and be faster

This CWM script will reodex any custom ROM.
With BOOTCLASSPATH edit in dexo.sh it can work on any ROM and phone.
Reodexing gives some people perceivable speed up. And it frees data partition from system dalvik cache. So dalvik-cache rebuild is also accelerated.
I ran it with stock kernel (root injected). And had problems with running it on any custom kernel.
http://galaxytree.net/bravomail/universalOdex.zip
Also a good example of output from shell script into CWM console.

Awesome.
Anyway to run this from ADB via PC for individul files rather than a whole ROM? I have been doing it manualy with this same script from TT but it takes a while typing it all in for each file.
This is what i do for individual files using dexopt wrapper:
Make sure you are currently runing an odex ROM or the script will not work
Move the dexopt wrapper file to /system/bin and cmod it 775 (you can get this file by unzipping the file in the OP)
move the files you want to odex to /mnt/extSdCard (for this exanple I will use SystemUI.apk)
Open an ADB window and type the following:
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
chmod 777 /system
cd /mnt/extSdCard
dexopt-wrapper SystemUI.apk SystemUI.odex /system/framework/core.jar:/system/framework/core-junit.jar:/system/framework/bouncycastle.jar:/system/framework/ext.jar
:/system/framework/framework.jar:/system/framework/framework2.jar:/system/framework/android.policy.jar:/system/framework
/services.jar:/system/framework/apache-xml.jar:/system/framework/filterfw.jar:/system/framework/sec_edm.jar:/system/fram
ework/seccamera.jar
It will take a couple secoonds and it should spit out a "success" when done. If not, you typed something wrong.
Then you need to sign your new .odex file with the odex on your current system by typing the following code:
Code:
busybox dd if=/system/app/SystemUI.odex of=SystemUI.odex bs=1 count=20 skip=52 seek=52 conv=notrunc
obviuosly if you were dealing with a file from say /system/framework you would change the line above to point to /system/framework instead of /system/app
Now you will have 2 files on your extSdCard:
SystemUI.apk (the original deodexed file you started with)
SystemUI.odex (the file the script just made)
Use 7zip or winrar to extract the classes.dex from the SystemUI.apk
Chmod them 644 and push them to the appropriate folder, for our example it would be /system/app
restart the phone and you should now be good.
Thats a lot of typing to go through for each file so a script or batch file would be awesome to be able to run and save some time. I like to run odex ROMs because they do seem to be faster but YRMV. I generally use DSIXDA's Kitchen to deodex the files I want to modify so I can get to the Smali files. I make the changes to the file and test them out in a dedoxed enviornment. When I know they work, i re-odex them (with the process above) and push them back into my stock odexed rom.
Not trying to step on your thread OP, just posting an alternate method of doing just individual files intead on an entire ROM.
Obviously credit for the process above goes to Tommy T!
ThanksTommy!

That's exactly what I do as well.. I just baksmali the odex when I need to edit the smali.
If you are already in the odexed rom environment, you do not have to include the bootclasspath

Awesome bro, simply awesome! I used a similar script during my brief EVO 3D days that I always ran after flashing a new rom and I considered it priceless!

Holy cow amigo. You started a bunch of threads. A little credit to original author would have been nice if you took the work and revamped it. All credit cause you didn't.
Sharing is caring. But I suggest you put where you got the script, etc, as well as the original author.
edit. upon further review, i see that you did change some things, mainly removing the original header (which is absolutely lame) and made it work with CWM. Also, you set a static BOOTCLASSPATH - which defeats the purpose of this script!!
Let me check my pms and emails. Someone contacted me a long time ago asking me review to their changes. Maybe it was you lol.

Ok so I understand what to do and I rooted successfully. However when I try to update my su binary it fails every time and I cant figure out what to do to get it to become successful so for now I unrooted.

Who here was wanting a way to get the call screen in the ticker working on different launchers? Well, I just figured it out Go to my new thread in theming for new info heh

I dont recommend flashing things just to flash them because they are there. Thats how phones get bricked. Read some tutorials on ADB and the Android SDK before diving into code etc... Just my .02

cwm up
lost it if someone has it can u upload, if not ill make another soon.

New rom added

xml patch up...
anyone using these?

Just getting ready to flash cwm and get started, just want to make sure I've got the order right... Flash 00.zip then the patch, both in cwm. Then if I want ics softkeys download the zip and use tb themer to mod framework, make zip and flash from cwm... Right? Maybe... I have yet to use TB's themer.

Back up you stuff first. Nand and apks etc
Flash rom_00.zip then supersu.zip.
(I don't have too much time to script, I'm way behind in classes due to gb fun) then patch_00.zip
Clear caches
Reboot.
Then when boots legit restore your data nand and apks etc.
And yes for ics keys use tb themer, it will do it for you, just add the png folder in themer dirs

[Q][THEME] Replacing PNG in system file

Hello.
I am running this ROM, and my lockscreen looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I want to replace the white circle around the icon (displayed when hovering the icon, before releasing the finger from the screen). It just needs to be transparrent.
The developer of the ROM wrote this to me:
final Drawable activeBack = mResources.getDrawable(com.android.internal.R.draw able.ic_lockscreen_target_activated);
...
So change icon ic_lockscreen_target_activated.png

The commit to the Git is here: https://github.com/IceColdJelly42/frameworks_base/commit/f1971285b709593873bf8c3effd144087b710104
Question: So far, i understand that i must replace the PNG in the system, but where would it reside? I dont think its in an APK as such, as its the system itself (though that could be apk's aswell...?). I was pointed to this tutorial that should have info on how to do it, but the guide refers to APK-filenames, and again, whats the APK filename? I have no APK in data/app or in system/app that matches "com.android.internal" - so im quite out of luck....?
Any advice on how to proceed is welcome. I have downloaded the PNGs attatched in the ZIP, from the source (git), those are the ones i want to replace with (they are all transparrent as they should be, for my project).
Kind Regards

The image that you're looking for, is in "framework-res.apk\res\drawable-xhdpi.
When you have changed the image, push framework or copy/paste it in system\framework and reboot!
For security, make a nandroid backup

Okay, so framework-res.apk, and then follow the guide i linked to, and just mirror the structure of the folders in the apk (\res\drawable-xhdpi) - correct?
Or should i unpack the apk, replace pics, resign the apk and push instead?
Also, xhdpi, hdpi, etc.. Whats the difference except the size of the images (resolution)? Is it if i have a phone with lower res, i will need the lower res images?
Thanks so far!
EDIT: You made me laugh there sir..! ALWAYS a nandroid backup! Rather 10 useless backups, than one missing..! :victory:

With winrar or similar, open the apk, go to res\drawable-xhdpi and change image.
Now, you can push framework in rom and see results
I know that change only resolution of icons in that folder

Here you go. Push to /system/framework/ and set permissions.
Don't know if it will work 'cause I don't have ICJ flashed at the moment. Make a backup before trying it.
I had to compress it before uploading because the limit was 8mb.

Hello.
How can i push it to system/framework? I tried adb shell when in recovery, but i cannot access the framework folder.. /system/ nothing (only bin?)
Also, adb push gave this:

failed to copy 'framework-res.apk' to 'system/framework/framework-res.apk': No s

Ill try to add / in recovery. When i did so in android, i got an error that the filesystem was read only.. I am rooted.
Update: It pushed correctly, but i only see that one file..... After reboot the file was not modified.. Verified with solid explorer.
ls while in recovery:
/system/framework # ls -lah
ls -lah
drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 0 Jan 29 20:28 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 0 Jan 29 20:28 ..
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 8.6M Jan 29 16:09 framework-res.apk

Oh well, moved the apk with solid explorer, from sd to system/framework (overwrite exsisting) - phone is rebooting now..
UPDATE: Didnt boot up.. Trying to clear cache and dalvik, then well se.. Think ill have to revert to my dear nandroid

Well, damn it. I replaced the pngs with the files you provided, built and signed without an error. It should be OK but as I said I don't have ICJ installed so troubleshooting is a bit difficult.
Try to do it yourself with apktool.

Sv: [Q][THEME] Replacing PNG in system file
Will do. Your apk was considerably smaller than my original, also it struck me that you cannot have guessed my version of the custom rom, and thus the correct apk to use as source. I guess it is modified on each version?

Hello.
I tried recreating the APK, using my own framework-res.apk as source.
I also found out how to push to system from CWM - you need to mount /system - DOH!
But it fails.... The phone never boots, i even chmodded the apk with 644, so the permissions are the correct ones..
Back to nandroid backup, and drawing table....
Anyone have any clue as to why the new apk failed? Followed this guide, and loaded the sources to UIsystem,apk and framework-res.apk before editing the APK.
When building the APK i got this output, and it does however not match the output in the guide - the "Could not find sources" does worry me a bit, should it..?

Found the reason for the "could not find sources":
A framework-res.apk is itself the source of other apks( when you install it - apktool if...). So the message that you got is normal.

Ref: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31832660&postcount=12

The .apk I started with was from 1.5.9 and it was 12mb in size.
Apks tend to lose weight when they are de/recompiled and that's why the finished product was only 8mb.
If the apk method fails, you could build the whole ROM yourself on a linux PC.
Keep me posted!
Sent from my One X

Well, though i used unix before, i dont wish to put the effort into building from source It seems building in a VM fails for many, and it requires quite alot of space...
My apk also lost weight, 8 mb after rebuild.. If the image is there, it does not matter what bitdepth and other fancy settings it was saved with, right? Aslong as the apk was build correctly, and chmodded correctly, the phoen should boot, right (and display an ugly image, if it wants - but at least boot!)

Did you sign the package?
Sent from my One X

No, according to the guide i followed:
Now, final step is signing the apk file.
Remember don't sign the apk if it's a SYSTEM app, unless you have edited the AndroidManifest.xml.

I suppose its a system app, as it resides in /system/framework...?
