Any one know how to get the CIA boot screen animation on the Evo 4G. I searched and found a file but when I flashed it, it didn't work. Dont think it was made for the Evo.

i assume that this was prompted by the recent news of Osama Bin Laden's "death"?
actually it wasn't, I was looking for it for a few days but the Osama thing does make me want it more.
I used to have that boot screen on my WinMo Touch Pro. I don't know if I've seen an Android version.
Someone ported it to android no sure for what device. I have the zip file but it didn't work for me.

Perhaps the zip file is not flashable? Or if it is but made for another Android device, just extract the bootanimation.zip and put it in the correct folder.
Post the zip and I'll take a look at it for you.

Is there a problem with it being a zip file INSIDE of the zip file? There is really no other reason why it shouldnt work..?
Ok. So the zip file you posted was flashable, sort of. It had both edify and amend scripts in it. I don't think you can have both. This is just the extracted animation, resized and optimized. 13 megs was a bit large. Rename if necessary and use root explorer to install to the proper location. Probably system/ customize/ resource. I can make this flashable if you can give me a location of your current boot animation. I may have to adjust the speed. It was originally set to 60 fps. It's currently 15 fps. Try it out and let me know.

No. For the lg optimus s. And at 45 fps, it would play so fast you probably wouldn't see it. And choppy.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=753788
Ok I'm using Skyraider and my method of creating a boot animation was a little bit different then the link above....I had found another link on Android forums that explained how I could un-zip my existing bootscreen animation and modify the files....after doing this you simply re-zip ALL of the files using winzip with certain settings and then move the new zip file to the appropriate place in your file system dependent mainly on your Rom.....this way is a lot easier and instead of creation from scratch you will already have a base line template to work off....ill boot my computer here in a few minutes and post my boot animation and the link to that site.....Idt exactly how to do boot image posts and I'm curious if boot animations are Rom specific... if not then you guys can just go ahead and install my boot animation to check it out and try to teach yourselves

I too have been trying to create a custom boot animation, only with sound as well.
I've managed to get the animation to work, but the sound never plays. I have the sound set as an 80 kbps mono 22050hz mp3 named 'android_audio.mp3' and I'm using the newest version of Synergy Mod. Both bootanimation.zip and android_audio.mp3 are sitting in /system/customize/resource right now.
What is it that I'm doing wrong?
Here's a post from droid life about how to create your own, and they aren't ROM specific.
http://www.droid-life.com/2010/04/13/how-to-create-a-droid-custom-boot-animation/
OK so I have been "Building" a sense rom (Building in quotations as you actually just really customize it) and trying to put a custom boot animation I add the files where the kitchen tells me and bake it and I get the stock android boot animation (silver letters that say android with no sound). I then tried to replace the files in the resource file in system>customize file and still same results. I am attaching a copy of the recovery log after a fresh flash and after initial boot if anyone can help thank you as I am learning both how to make these and run ubuntu

Then your bootanimation is not properly configured for one reason or another. You're replacing the right files, but your phone sees an error with your customized files and is reverting to the genetic/stock bootanimation....

Putting the file in that location should do the trick IF you are running a kernel that has boot animations enabled. Samsung uses some .qmg format for their boot animations but thankfully the wonderful devs here have enabled the use of bootanimation.zip to work.
@dddsj, you might not have the right kind of kernel.
@rsegura77, I thought Synergy had this enabled so I don't know what to tell you. Was there and existing bootanimation.zip in that folder and if so did you rename it or move it to another lcoation prior to copying the new zip there?

You need a kernel that supports bootanimation.zip. Using root explorer, go to system/media and move old bootanimation.zip to sd card. Place new file in system/media and reboot. That's it! Just make sure that any boot animation you try is renamed to bootanimation.zip or it won't work

Not sure if Bullet supports it but there is no harm in trying. Don't replace the existing .qmg files. Just copy bootanimation.zip to that directory. If bullet supports it then you'll have a new animation and if not then you'll see the one you currently have. It shouldn't hurt anything to put the zip in there even if your kernel doesn't support it.
All I did was delete the old bootanimation.zip and pasted the new file in the same place but the only boot, animation I see is the default that comes with zombie rom I did notice I have the following files bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.any

Hi All,
Here's how to change the boot animation for the device. Do at your own risk. I've attached the Cyanogenmod boot animation for starters.
Boot Animation
1. Using your file manager browse to system > media
2. You will see a file called bootanimation.zip and varients. Rename it to bootanimation.bak and add .bak to all the others as well.
3. Browse to your sdcard to the location of your new boot animation
4. Rename your new boot animation to bootanimation.zip if it isn't already
5. Copy the new boot animation to system > media
6. Give the new boot animate all the permissions.
7. Reboot and Enjoy
Cyanogenmod boot animation
Anyone tried it out yet?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
There's a few apps in the market that have a bunch of boot animation options. They're all sort of consolidated, I wonder if they're safe
Do you have to be rooted or unlocked to attempt?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
You will have to be rooted, not sure about unlocked. I"m guessing OP didn't actually bother to look at the files though. There are 3 boot animations in the folder. Assuming you are on sprint, you can delete bootanimation_boost.zip. The bootanimation.zip runs before the bootanimation_sprint.zip runs. I don't know if deleting one would cause it to revert to running the other one twice or longer but it probably wouldn't hurt anything to test. The bootanimation.zip is the LG logo animation and the bootanimation_sprint.zip is the sprint logo animation. I would guess that you could customize each of these if you gave them the same name, or maybe if you deleted the sprint one, the other bootanimation.zip would run longer. I don't have time to test it now...
Are the third party boot animation apps safe?

If by safe you mean it won't brick it, then yes they are. They should work too.

Tried a few of those boot animation switchers. No dice
Just fyi for anyone who tried flash this, it isn't flashable, it just contains all the different dimensions.
Ok so I see the boost file. The sprint file. And the regular one. I changed it to .Bak and pasted the new one. But no dice
This will not work for the sprint att and boost versions i will use sprint for example...
You're mostly right however if you on one of the named providers above you must rename the old boot animation from bootanimation_sprint.zip to
bootanimation_sprint.bak then rename the file bootanimation.zip to bootanimation_sprint.zip i did this to restore the stock lg boot animation that was in there already i don't see why this would not work with other boot animation files
Enjoy

The "boot animations" application from play store works perfectly if you change "install location" in preferences to system/media and the preset file name in preferences to "bootanimation_sprint.zip". You can then just click install on any animation you like.

Hmm, guess I'll look into why the animation isn't working. Even made it from scratch and then using boot animation factory.
Epic has a guide that works better.
Also, to make it work you need to change the permissions of the new file.

Tried it with his guide and changed the permissions as well. I'm able to get stock JB to load on mine, it's just my boot animation that fails to work for some reason. I recreated it again from scratch and still don't really know what's wrong with it. Using 8bit color, stock compression, everything seems just fine; and yet it isn't. Maybe I'll take this up to the boot animation tutorial thread to see if anyone there can help me.
Edit: Nevermind, it was something extremely trivial that I should have noticed that just slipped by me. The folder name had a space in it, which pretty much made it useless. Fixed by removing the spaces.
