[BOOT ANIMATION] Earth Observations Videos for GNexus

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.

Just use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simproductions.bachanger&hl=en it allows you to install zip files directly.

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).

[LOCKRING][ZIPTHEMER] MIL-DOT Reticle lockring for CM10 (others?)

Here's a lockring I made with the MIL-DOT reticle. It's white then turns red when you drag it on top of a target. It will work with CM Jellybean ROMs for sure (I've tested on CM10.1). Probably will work with CM ICS ROMs and maybe some other non CM ROMs as well but I can't say for sure as I've not tested them.
It's a zipthemer file, some instructions on how to use zipthemer at the bottom of the post.

***How to use Zipthemer***
note: you may need a ROM you have flashed in order to configure your edify script (this is the script that tells the recovery what to do when you run your update.zip file)
1. Install zipthemer from the play store! It's free!!
2. Open up the menu and click on update edify (you will only have to do this once)
3. Updating Edify screen (complete either Option 1 or Option 2)
- option 1: browse to the ROM you have on your phone and click it -- done
- option 2: click on download, then exit out of the screen, click options, settings, update script format, select your phone. If your phone isn't present, see option 1.
4. Download the zipthemer file in my post, and using a file explorer, move it to the "zipthemer" folder on your sd card.
5. open zipthemer again, click the "+theme" button, select the theme you want to apply
6. click "*output" button and pick the name you want for your update file (or accept the default). Leave the "-update.zip" at the end of the file name and "/sdcard/" at the beginning so it will be in your sdcard root directory and easier to find when you go to flash it.
7. click "build it!", it will ask you if you want to create a backup file, I usually do just in case so I don't have to re-flash the entire ROM to undo my changes if I want to.
8. Exit zipthemer, reboot to recovery, flash your new zip file, reboot system, enjoy!
more notes:
a. as always, it's a pretty good idea to run a nandroid anytime you play with your system (this is a do as I say, not as I do kinda statement)
b. A lot of these type of themes where some system files are modified or system apps are modified, it's good to do a wipe dalvik/cache
c. if you update your ROM to a new nightly/RC/stable, re-build the zipthemer file. It's likely that this isn't necessary, but unless you know just what the CM team changed it's probably a good idea.

Nice! :thumbup:

Cyan Nexus .qmg bootanimation files

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.

These are few best bootanimations that i had to share, to find the rest GO HERE. Thread by overhauling.
@overhauling is creator/developer of The Boot Box Project - Boot Animations app. You can find his app on Play Store.
Play store link to The Boot Box Project.
Code:
Thanks to [user=4217237]@overhauling[/user] for his thread and allowing me to share.
Found these animations on his thread.
And thanks to all those xda members who made these custom boot animations.

To use any of above animations, download them.
1. Copy to sd card
2. Use any of the root browser.Goto /system/media/ folder. You will find current bootanimation.zip there. Either delete or copy to sd card in case you want it back.
3. Copy the downloaded zip to system/media/ folder.
4. Rename to bootanimation.zip
5. Change permissions to rw- r-- r--
6. Reboot
See this image for permission of zip
Note: If you are afraid of, if rom does not boot? Take nandroid backup. Though nothing will happen if any thing goes wrong. Remember i am not responsible if any thing happens to your phone. I have tested these zips and work fine.
