Boot animation

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThIx_X7KL-E&playnext=1&list=PLB51E246983769403
Anyone know where i can find this exact Boot animation? and do i install it same way as i would a custom rom.
1. Put in root
2. Boot to recovery
3. Flash it
and thats it? this will be first time i download just a boot animation. i normally use the one that come with the rom.
and i left a youtube comment but the creator hasn't posted a message in over a month
Thanks.

I'm not sure where to find it, but it depends on how its packaged, on how you install it. If its a flashable zip, then yes you do exactly as you said. If its just the bootanimation.zip, and isn't flashable, then you can use root explorer to put the file where it belongs. If you're on a sense rom, it goes in /system/customize/resource. If you're on aosp, it goes in /system/media. Just put it in the right folder, set permissions, and reboot.

Your welcome. I'm sure its on xda somewhere. I'd check and search in the themes and apps section, or use Google to search it.

I Did a XDA search and it pretty much people like me asking for a Transformers boot animation but it wasn't the specific one i was asking for.
Google is my next stop

got a youtube message back from the guy with the boot and he gave me this file

Damn, you're right. The mp3 file (for the boot sound) will download it seems, but the actual boot animation links me to 4shared and says 'the file link is no longer valid', or something like that. Maybe look thru that thread and see if there are any mirror's posted in it? I got nothing to do, I'll take a gander for ya in a sec.
EDIT: I found it. Check out post #40 in that thread. I just downloaded it. The download works fine. If you want the sound, the link in the OP looks like it works, if not, I saw two other mirrors for the MP3 sound somewhere between post 10 and 40.
BTW, that download is not flashable. you'll need to put the file where it goes. It's easy, especially if you know a little adb, it'll take 20 seconds. If not, using root explorer or ES file explorer can get the job done.
EDIT2: attatched the animation for you.

i'll take a look as well, don't want you to be having all the fun

Its in there, page 4 or 5

damn it its not flashable.
gotta learn how to do it the other way now

Root explorer works great-sweet find!

Couple quick questions to help me help you get it installed.
1) What rom are you currently on
2) Do you have a root level file explorer such as Root Explorer, or ES File explorer?
3) Do you have adb set up to use on your computer?
4) If you're on a sense rom, I might be able to make a flashable zip for you, let me know.

Try flashing this. It should work. Make a nandroid backup first, just in case. Unless you already have a current one.

yeah it worked but no sound?
edit: that was fastest bootloader i have ever had lol 6 or 7 seconds tops

Ooops. I forgot to edit the sound file. Sorry. I can edit and re upload it, or all you'd need to do is open up the zip you downloaded. Click the folder that says system. then click customize. then click resource. then you'll see the bootanimation.zip and the mp3 file. rename the mp3 file to SPC_animation_final. Or it might be spc_animation_final. I forget if the spc is capitals or not. It's one or the other. Then reflash it.
Edit> and what do you mean that was the fastest bootloader? The fastest it's ever booted up you mean? confused.

k done. do i just reboot my phone to see if it works or do i gotta flash again

Once you edited it, flash it again. And also, as I said, I don't remember if it's spc_animation_final or if it's SPC_animation_final. And I may have not been clear, but make sure that when you renamed it, you left the .mp3 extension on the file. It needs to be there.

yeah i know. flashing now. 1 min bud

how do I change the start boot?

i tried deleting the boot up file...
And for the boot up sound how do I change that?
sgs tools doesnt work...

First off are you rooted? Second are you running a custom rom? If these apply then it should be as easy as replacing the bootanimation.zip file of your choice in the "system/media" folder.

Correct me if I'm wrong (anyone) but I think as of now there's no boot animations mods for ee03 (GB).

Sorry can't (don't know how to) post links using the xda app. Just look under the "themes and app" section and you'll see a few posts on boot animation. There's different types but the method is the same. Again it depends if your running a custom rom

ICS startup shutdown on 2.3.6?

Anyone have a way to add ICS startup and shutdown animations to stock rooted de-ciq'ed 2.3.6?

I would be most interested in this. I'm unable to find any ICS boot animations in this section. Anyone know if it can be extracted straight from the GN and simply be placed in the boot animation directory without consequences?

You need a kernel/rom that supports bootanimation.zip
The stock/touchwiz based roms use a .qmg file for the animation instead.
Also the images in the bootanimation.zip would need to be modified for our resolution 400*800 as opposed to the 1280*720 of the Nexus.
The bootanimation.zip is already available for 400*800 devices & I can confirm it works beautifully on CM7

Thanks for the response
I'm running Darkside's kernel which supports custom boot animations so thats not a problem.
I assume thats what a CWM flash able zip flashes correct?
Sounds reasonable
Pardon me, but I was unable to find the thread containing the ICS boot animation, could you point me in the right direction?

Do not assume, no it is not a flashable .zip, you will need to manually insert to system/etc/media/
I usually rename the existing one to bootanimation.zip.bak just in case.....
Let me see if I can post it for ya !

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 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?

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)

[MOD][MC2]4in1 Reboot

I have seen a few threads looking for this.
Edit: This is for Deodexed TW roms. If you are running a custom rom that doesn't already have this but has made changes to the android.policy.jar file you may have issues. I just reflashed this on my phone to verify since 2 users have reported issues and it flashed fine just before taking the attached screenshot.
Here is the walk through I followed to help me get it built
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1573032
I posted the android.policy.jar file from MC2 that I changed with the help of that walk through and viperboys MA7 flash file in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2288362
I have also attached a flashable zip to this thread
As always flash at your own risk and make sure to backup before changing anything

Flashed this after doing a backup, phone won't even boot now.

This is for Stock Deodexed roms. I have flashed this on my phone, 2 other local friends and a user on this forum has also flashed it. If you had any other mods that changed the android.policy.jar file which this changes that could have caused your issue.

I'm running stock deodexed. Had to do a factory reset and then restore the rom, because it wouldn't even boot with just a restore. Maybe it was something else.

Does everything work quick boot, recovery/odin mode??
Wolfed out Note Dos

I have not personally tried the download/odin mode option as I have not needed it at this point. Everything else works reboot, quick reboot, and recovery.

it work for me thank u

It didn't work for me. It didn't do any damage, but there's no boot menu. I even tried moving the android.policy.jar directly to the framework folder with no success. You tried, that's what counts... By the way, the links to the how to's on the first page are down, too. This was a very disappointing adventure

It didn't work. When you hold the power button it just goes to the Samsung boot screen and freezes. Worth a try though. For now, I just created a shortcut/widget with Desktop Visualizer and Rom Toolbox. You can create a shortcut that will show a boot menu. If you want a quick tutorial just let me know.
