Im guessing it was from one of the PC36xxx.zip files when gaining root access?
Just download the zip file to your computer, unzip, navigate to the bootanimation folder and take the files out.

I was looking for it myself.. I found one but it was HVGA, I then realized that the new Desire HD ROMs had them, so if you dig through the ROM you'll be able to extract it from there.

Haha, I am currently using that one for my custom ROM. You can get it from my ROM or you can just download the MANUP theme and rip it out of there. That is how I got it on mine.
I used it when I got epic failz trying to make my own custom boot animation. The animation looks fine, just could not get it to work.
That or just flash the Manup theme and it will replace automatically with that one.

Kernel Messages boot animation

Hi,
I have made this custom boot image for myself and I wanted to share it.
I have disabled the bootanimation and I have enabled the kernel messages instead.
just flash the boot image and remove/rename /system/bin/bootanimation
if anyone is willing to help I would create an update zip which flashes the boot partition and renames /system/bin/bootanimation
Cheers,
Matteo

I've never did that, but if someone is kind enough to do it or point me to a good tutorial I will do

CM9 Skankwich doesn't like it, causes non-stop FC's upon bootup.

Do you know if this will work on a HTC One X?
Thanks

I really don't think so! This is as far as I know a modified Galaxy nexus boot image.

The thread was moved to "Galaxy Nexus Themes and Apps" but I don't really think that it's correct.
Tecnically it isn't a boot animation, is a kernel hack to disable it and show the "raw" boot.
Everything that is printed is printed by the TTY subsystem, it's not rendered by a bootanimation

this is awesome. I disabled my boot animation and it only shows the kernel messages for a few seconds then a plain android boot animation appears. Is there any way to make it longer or is that all that is supposed to come up?
i am on aokp b37 also.
good work!

@teknoraver
I would like to add this as a completely new section in my boot animation thread if that's cool??
Couple of clarifications though:
This looks more like a kernel edit to me and therefore this is somewhat ROM specific in that if folks flash this boot.img it will disable certain ROM specific features controlled by the kernel?
Assuming the above is true, a per ROM boot.img would need to be created to make this work whilst preserving all functionality?
To give an example, if you flash a custom kernel over cm9 you will find some of the settings options are blanked out and you are no longer able to use them unless you have a specific kernel control app or you start fiddling around with init.d scripts.

This sounds kind of like "live logcat", is it similar?

You need to rename /system/bin/bootanimation to something else

No it's different.
Livelogcat is a bootanimation which draws logcat messages in a complex manner.
My patch disables the animation and let the kernel print messages like it does on PC and servers:

Here, flashable zip in recovery
Using any kernel format installer (koush) does not touch the existing ramdisk (no problem on CM etc)
and Kernel.Messages.bootanimation_Restore.zip reverting /system/bin/bootanimation
(Edit : If you deleted that file already, flash Installing_system.bin.bootanimation.zip to restore)

I used image flasher GUI on my ns4g but apparently it is not supported for gnex. What are some other methods of flashing an image.

That's probably because our actual boot animation is bootanimation_sprint.zip and we have a bootanimation.zip for the lg logo. You'll have to change a name in whatever zip you are applying. Then it should work.... or if not we'll have to change something in whatever tells the system which ones to flash. (build.prop?)

Edit: this one doesn't work. Epic found a working one, see page 2

replaced both files b-a.zip and b-a_sprint.zip and set permissions to 644.. blank boot screen. any suggestions?

Should have specified... did you renamethe zip file IN the zip file and then zip them both back up properly?
Edit: Dangit... didn't work. I've tried a lot of stuff now... I'm going to try editing the sprint bootanimation itself next.
Edit 2: Holy crap its after 5 am
Ok i finally got it.. I think I had a couple bad boot animations. Just renamed the animation to bootanimation_sprint.zip, didn't bother with the normal bootanimation.zip yet. Set it to 644 (rw/r/r) permissions. I successfully got this one to work, for reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402764 Here is the actual boot animation file that should be fine to put in system media without renaming. Just check the permissions: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/31205865/bootanimation_sprint.zip It wouldn't be too hard to make a flashable one but I couldn't find any that used the right script and its almost 6 am. goodnight.

That boot animation is the original nexus boot up screen.

I got it partially working, it pops up for about 20% of the animation now.

Did you guys read the thread? I didn't actually try it myself but you have to like change the permissions on the files, etc, it's kind of an ordeal.

Yes, I was messing with the permissions and none of them work except for the one they mention in that thread. It has to be something with the images..

This looks just like the one on my Nexus 7. I take it the Nexus 4 is the same, or is this boot animation not from the N4?

Need help with custom boot animitaion

I have Liquidsmooth v2.2 rom installed and I went through replacing the boot animation.zip with a different custom .zip but all it did was erase the Liquidsmooth animation and it boots first with the Samsung logo then galaxy s III logo and then its a black screen for the rest of the boot up. I'm not sure how to fix it at this point. I also flashed the samsung4u.zip using recovery...not sure if that's what messed it up but I would really appreciate some knowledge.

Your bootanimation.zip permission is wrong. It would be -rw-r--r--. then reboot

Was it even flashable ZIP file or was it meant to be copied and renamed? None of the ones I have used were flashable. As the previous person mentioned you need to correct the file permissions.

Buddy, these are Bootanimations files which are not flash able zip files. so as per OP Screen shot, permission is incorrect.

I'm fully aware that the ones that I have used (and the one I created) are not flashable however I was under the impression that they can be packaged into a flashable ZIP. I have not attempted because I just copy it and set the permissions. As far as the permissions on the OPs screenshot I was agreeing with your assessment that the permissions on the file are incorrect.

I would assume it's possible to make a CWM flashable zip but that would only seem useful after flashing a rom before you reboot

The samsung4u.zip is a Samsung animation bin file...which I realize I didn't need...but I think I just need to reflash my rom and start over...I wasnt paying the best attention to where the bootanimation.zip should be stored and whatenot before, nor did I really research how to do it. hah

[BOOT+DOWNANIMATION] HTC One with Beats Audio

OK so this is my first attempt at making a custom boot animation, It may not be perfect as I've never edited video like this before, but I use it on my One and it works like a dream, it's also a little longer than your usual boot animation, but it does kinda show off the phone a bit more itself too. I've also included the audio that I use with this too.
animation consists of parts from the HTC Promo Ad and also i believe the beats part comes from the HTC Sensation XL boot up.
I have also uploaded a Video Preview here: Video
UPDATE 05/09/2013: Here is a flashable zip for people using MaximusHD ROM: HTC-One-Beats_customboot-signed.zip (47.6 MB)
Re-uploaded the ZIP as the previous zip had an error in the downanimation file name and caused the standard downanimation to run instead of custom one. Please download the updated zip file above and flash in recovery as normal
Files...
HTC-One-Beats boot animation.zip (39.5 MB)
HTC-Boot-Music.mp3 (365 KB)
downanimation.zip (7.5 MB)
now i'm not sure about other roms but for people using ARHD the zip needs go here /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
and the audio file needs to be here /system/customize/resource/HTC_Sense5_Boot.mp3 or htc_boot.mp3
shutdown animation goes here /system/customize/resource/downanimation.zip
DISCLAIMER: YOU TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY TO WHATEVER YOU DO TO YOUR OWN PHONE. I CLAIM NO RESPONSIBILITY.​

First of all thanks. Second , can you make it a flashable zip ? I have the Maximus HD rom (4.3 wth Sense 5) and after i copy them to the system i try to reboot. The downanimation works but the boot up animation is still stock. After the boot if i restart again everything goes back to original(boot up and downanimation). What i've tried so far are the After Effects and the Adroid Hammer animations. These are flashable zips dough.

I'll see what I can do

I know its a bit of a long boot animation but I thought it would be a pretty cool idea. Plus I actually think its almost the right length for how long the phone actually takes to boot =D

Hi sorry for the late reply. If you go to /system/customize/CID and open the default.xml file, scroll to the end about 95% and what you're looking for is this bit:
<BootConfiguration>
<BootAnimation animation="/system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip" audio="/system/customize/resource/HTC_Sense5_Boot.mp3" />
</BootConfiguration>
The last part of the boot script that says audio, whatever that says you need to make sure the name and location of your boot audio is the same. For instance mine is /system/customize/resource/HTC_Sense5_Boot.mp3
I hope this helps

The flashable is only for Sense 5 based ROMs. You'll have to manually put the files where they need to go. However since I've never used paranoid android, I'm not sure of the exact locations or what the file names need to be.
I'll see if I can find out and upload a flashable.
