[BOOT ANIMATION] Waving Samsung-Droids

Hi there,
I created a bootanimation for myself, specially for the Galaxy SII, and I'd like to share it with you. I mixed "The Waving Droids" with Samasungs Boot logo.
What you need:
-Rooted SGS2
-Bootanimation compatible Kernel
How to:
1.Copy bootanimation.zip to sd card. (Do NOT rename)
2. Move it, using Root Explorer (o. e.) to /system/media/ or /data/local .
Tested to work with "CF-Root v4"
Have Fun!
How to uninstall:
1. Open Root Explorer
2. Navigate to /system/media
3. Delete bootanimation.zip
4. At next reboot the S-Samsung Logo will be back.
If you had a backup (bootanimation.zip.bak o.e.) of the previous animation, rename backup to bootanimation.zip and replace it.

Lol! LOVE IT!!!!!

This seems pretty cool! Keep up the good work! However if i wat to go back the way I was (Without the droid), what do i need to do? Sorry for the dumb question

I presume rename the original file to *****.bkp and then copy new animation over.

edit.............

I added instuctions on how to uninstall.
Has anyone an idea of another bootanimation that has to be mixed?

2. Move it, using Root Explorer (o. e.) to /system/media/

You need to be rooted. If you are, press the button "Mount R/W" at the Top and retry.
(When using Root Explorer)

Thank you janis Keep up the good work!

Works on Villain 2.0, very nice! Reminds me of the boot animation of the HTC Hero

Hii , could you make for : [ROM][2.3.4] Cognition S2 v1.12 | Now Live . (clockworkmod recovery 4.0.0.8)
Please

As long as the Roms Kernel does not support bootanimation, i can't do anything.

Thanks great animation!! but i still got the sound of my previous lightning rom animation.. can i kill that sound??

Your current kernel must be able to support bootanimation.zip in order to allow changing your boot animation. Currently the only kernel that is able to support that is the one cooked into the Cm7 Alpha ROM.
My current bootanimation is of cars drifting

you can download the zip from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?de2dzq711h37o08
Theres several ways to install custom bootanimations but the easiest one is this (atleast it for me):
Step 1. You have to be rooted in order to do this.
Step 2. Download Root Explorer from the market.
Step 3. Rename downloaded .zip to "bootanimation" and Copy to SD Card
Step 4. Unmount your Droid.
Step 5. Open Root Explorer, tap on “sdcard” and locate bootanimation.zip.
Step 6. Long press on bootanimation.zip and choose “Move”.
Step 7. Hit the back button once and locate the “system” folder.
Step 8. Tap and open “system” and then “media”.
Step 9. Hit “Paste” which should be an option at the bottom of your screen.
Step 10. If there is already a bootanimation.zip file, let Root Explorer overwrite it.
Step 11. Back out of Root Explorer and Reboot your phone.
Step 12. Enjoy your new Droid boot animation.

Samsung ROMs use .qmg files rather than just a bootanimation.zip for the boot animation in system/media and shutdown animation is under system/media/video/shutdown
I found a couple in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1206374
I think the Droid Charge has a red eye, you might like that one. I like the stock I9100

bootanimation is kernel driven...so it doesn't matter what ROM you have as long as the kernel supports bootanimation.zip

It's a little of both. You need the kernel to have the right init.rc entry to start the binary. The ROM has to have the proper binary to run a Bootanimation.zip. The current binaries from Samsung don't support it. I have a GB Bootanimation binary from the I9000 that kinda works. You have to rename the Bootanimation.zip to sanim.zip. The down side is it just runs the animation but doesn't boot into the ROM. It needs to be called via a script and then killed. So that means a custom Ramdisk in the kernel then add the binary and a sanim.zip to the ROM.

I'm pretty sure he said he was waiting for the bugs to be squashed in the cm7 kernel. As it is a little unstable to build on.
Mr.x has a cm7 synergy kernel going though

[bootanimation] Video's can now be used as animations - Plus a new custom PS One anim

GOOD NEWS!
You can now use .mp4 video files as your boot animations (if you didn't see it on the portal). You can follow the directions here (you must be rooted for the new method to work):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-university/guide-set-video-bootanimationtesters-t2915445
Also, because I was testing to see if things would work I whipped up a new animation for everyone. Nothing fancy, just a good old timely classic from my childhood. A custom (orginal) Playstation boot screen re-worked with a new 3d logo, etc. etc.
I will be giving directions for the new video method, but I am also uploading files if you want to do it the old way.
PREVIEW:
FLASHABLE ZIPS NOTE:
The first flashable zip replaces ONLY the boot animation in the "/system/media" directory and is the video type. It makes no other changes.
The second flashable zip is intended for Sprint stock based sense roms and is also the video type. The zip not only contains the bootanimation, but also a backup of the original "default.xml" file in "/system/customize/CID" and the original "bootanimation" binary in the "/system/bin" directory. This is in case you would like to go back to the old image sequence based bootanimations.
DIRECTIONS:
VIDEO:
First, download the "bootanimation" binary from the link above. Make a backup of your current "bootanimation" binary in the directory "/system/bin" and then copy the new binary you downloaded into that same directory. Change the permission of the binary file to 0755 and you are done with that.
Next, copy whichever video "bootanimation.zip" file you want into the "/system/media" directory and change the files permissions to 0644 / rw-r-r.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
For Sprint stock users you need to do one more thing. Get a file manager for android and edit the "default.xml" file located in the directory "/system/customize/CID". Open the file to edit and scroll down till you see this sequence:
Code:
<BootConfiguration>
<BootAnimation animation="/system/customize/resource/***whateverbootanimation.zip***" />
and change it to this:
Code:
<BootConfiguration>
<BootAnimation animation="/system/media/bootanimation.zip" />
reboot and enjoy!
Questions, problems, further clarification... I'm happy to help. Just leave a comment.
If you want to use any of the bootanimations I have created, go right ahead. You have permission. All I ask is that you make mention of where you got the animation and that I created it. Pretty simple. :good:

Hold on, shouldn't boot animations be in picture format? Last time I tried flashing an mp4, my boot animation wouldn't play. Now no other boot animations play no matter how I change it. How can this be possible?

Clean awesome bootanimations works fine with our Lenovo A6000
First of all, credit goes to KonradIC13, he has made all these boot animation, I am just sharing them here..
These all are Boot Animation not boot logo.
These are not meant to be flashed.
Do not try to flash these from recovery
Rename the zip file to bootanimation.zip ( Remove/delete it's serial no eg. bootanimation1.zip rename to : bootanimation.zip)
Using root explore or other app that can browse file ( like ES explorer or X-plore)
Access folder: root\system\media\ and
simply copy and paste the renamed zip bootanimation.zip to folder root\system\media\ where original bootanimation.zip is stored
(backup your old boot animation zip and then overwrite the new is recommended if want your previous boot animation in future ).
Reboot, you've new boot animation , Enjoy :good:
