[BOOTANIMATION] Animated G2 logo boot animation

I really like the stock G2 boot image, but without being animated, it felt very stiff and boring. So I added some animation to it. It's very simple, with the fading grey lines at the top and bottom moving to the left slowly:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(this is a low quality GIF, the actual animation looks better, I promise)
I made this mostly for myself, but it turned out better than I expected so I wanted to share it. This is my very first boot animation, so be gentle in your criticism. This is an 800x480 boot animation, so it should work on other devices with that screen resolution, though I don't know why you'd want a G2 boot screen on your Nexus One or Droid Incredible.
To use this animation, use adb or a root explorer app to put the file in /data/local and make sure it's named bootanimation.zip. The file is attached below, or you can download it from MediaFire.
UPDATE: I just finished the modified version of this boot animation that replaces the T-Mobile logo with the HTC logo. Aside from that, they're the same. The new one is attached below, or you can grab it from MediaFire.
Enjoy!

Very cool! I like this because it maintains the stock look but is much nicer than the static boot image. Also not too goofy or flashy like others I've seen. Downloaded and copied to /data/local/ with Root Explorer, reported, and worked great! Thanks !

Very nice. Subtle but it works.

You can do it 3 ways... through adb, terminal, or root file manager.

Made this real quick while waiting to be unloaded. Tested and works. Put .zip on root of sd, open file manager (have su permissions and mounted as rw) copy and go to system/media, paste. Enjoy! "Rooted!!" will flash. I think it's cool so I share.Peace

That's not a bad idea. I personally like the T-Mobile version, but I can try making a version with an HTC logo. Any preference on color? Should the HTC logo be green or the same grey as the G2 logo? I should have time to make that later today.

If I put this in data/local, then choose to delete it at some point, will I encounter any issues?

I would say maybe a brushed aluminum look for the HTC logo ?

Absolutely not . If you want to go back to the stock boot animation
just use root explorer to move the bootanimation.zip folder from
data/local back to your sd card , Reboot and back to normal .

OMG, so sick. Has a retro touch to it.
I like almost all of them. Is there any chance to randomize which one is played on every boot? Probably not, right?

Good!!!! is hard to choose one..

Unfortunately, I believe there is no such possibility.

NP. Currently I set the Core animation. Sick and slick.
On a side note, there any possibility that these boot animations could cause random reboots? It doesn't seem logical, but it started happening right after I set them. I put about 6 of them in the /system/media folder with only one set to be the boot animation - could this be the problem?

I have tested all of these boot animations on my i9001 and did not encounter any problem. I haven't tried putting several .zips in /system/media though, I store them all on sdcard. But I assume there is possibility of strange behavior after putting unknown files on system partition. You could try to move unused boot animations to sdcard too and see if your phone stops acting weird.

Did just that - moved all other animations to SD card. Will report in a few days if the problem is related.
EDIT: Yep, it seems the random reboots were related to having more of these bootanimaton zips in the /system/media folder. After moving them the reboots completely stopped.

Can I use these with cm10? I replace the default with one of these and when rebooting it only shoes a android logo and nothing else

nice stuff. using the twist one at the moment. Could you make a version of Twist where the background is solid black (so the lights aren't even on) rather than the lit up "black"??

Another possible great source for bootanimations: http://patakk.tumblr.com/
To OP, how did you "degif" the files? Basically, how did you make the bootanimatons?

Thanks! Something different to choose :good:

Niiiice .., for me i prefere the core ! thanx for the share

i download all and i choose "expand" as my bootanimation now :good::good::good:

I've contacted the author of these .gifs to ask permission before I converted those into bootanimations. If you are interested in using these bootanimations in your works, I'd contact the author first and credit him, of course.

I do not change whole design, I just convert .gifs into bootanimations with minor changes - to fit the dimensions. But I'll see what I can do, okay.

I'll take a look at that link, thanks.
I use GIMP to edit dimensions of image and convert each frame of .gif into standalone .png or .jpg, then I edit desc.txt to adjust framerate and compress all files into .zip archive. Nothing special.

[BOOT + DOWNANIMATION] Android Revolution HD animations

These are boot and down animations themed for Android Revolution HD. These are the first animations I've created, so they're a bit rough, but I think they came out okay. Both are tested running on my One with ARHD 12.1 and ElementalX 3.4.
These animations represent 20+ hours of work with Photoshop and general tinkering around to get them working, so a Thanks would be appreciated if you like them.
Boot animation
Note: These are running about twice as fast as the actual animation.

Down animation
http://d-h.st/BKU
How to Install
These are not flashable in recovery.
You need a file explorer with root access. I use ES File Explorer, which is free and easy to use. Make sure that /system is mounted r/w.
Navigate to /system/customize/resource and look for zip files with "animation" or "boot" in the name. Those are your animations. They should be bootanimation.zip and downanimation.zip in ARHD.
Rename each file by adding .bak to the filename. This will preserve your originals.
Copy the new animations to this folder and rename with the correct filenames per the third step.
Change permissions on each file to rw-r-r. In ES File Explorer, you do this by selecting the file, then More>Properties and tapping Change in the permissions line. This will bring up a dialog. Uncheck the Execute column and Group and Other in the Write column. Then click OK and Cancel in the previous window (this won't cancel what you just did).
Thanks
despotovski01 for his great animation tutorial and Boot Animation Factory app.
Mike1986 for making a great rom.

Good work :good:

Working a treat. Like the animation!! Thanks for that!!

these are fantastic and will make my ARHD One even better. Thanks!!!

I have a revised version in the works that I will post after I get back from vacation. Right now, I've decided it's moving a bit fast for my taste.

Can't wait..
Sent from my HTC One

Haven't been able to get the revised version to work right, but I'm going to give it another try this weekend. Something in the desc file is not working.

Very nice, definitely will be using this - I'll let you know how it works on ARHD 13.2 w/ ElementX kernal
EDIT
Worked great and I agree with you on the moving too fast. I think it could spend more time on the ARHD point before going to the quietly modded. Compared to some other boot animations, yours is on the small side(I have one that the bootup alone is almost 10mb lol)
I did notice some jittering as the ARHD is coming up, like it skipped a frame or two.
Is there anyway to make one out of your ElementX splash screens. I like the quietly overclocked spash.

I've done all I can to fix the jitttering. Understand that this animation consists of over 100 individual cells, each of which I created by hand in Photoshop. I had to create the cells in the opening sequence twice, once with the text moving up a few pixels at a time, and once with it moving down, then merge the two. Unfortunately, in the process of merging, some of the cells got slightly out of alignment. It used to be worse.
I'm still trying to find an optimal speed for the whole thing that works smoothly.
I've thought about doing an ElementalX animation next. I just need to decide what to do with it.

@iElvis any chance you could pm me a guide on how to make a boot up and down animation thanks.

I made a flashable zip of the boot animation so it can be flashed in recovery. It does include the HTC boot sound so if you don't want the boot sound, you need to remove it from the zip. The zip is called MyMods.zip:
https://db.tt/5D5EYui5
P.S. The boot animation in this zip is renamed for the 4.3 Sense 5.5 rom so won't work with older roms unless you rename the boot animation files and re-zip them.

All you need is in those two links. You have to come up with the images yourself, but that will explain how to make the animation.

I have a VZW One Max -- are there any Animations for it ?
It seems to use a different file(s) name from the usual
/system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip?
It uses vzw._bootup.zip & hTC_bootup_one.zip.
Would I replace either one with a copy
bootanimation.zip for it? :

nice thanks sir

hi, i have a Chinese version of one dual sim (802w)
can i use these animations?
and also which part of boot does it change?
when i turn on my phone, it says something in Chinese, will it remove that?

CyanogenMod 10 .qmg bootanimation

CyanogenMod 10 .qmg Boot Animation For Samsung Galaxy Note 3​
As promised this bootanimation and the rest will be focusing on higher resolution files for our big screens to look nice and crisp
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.

Here you go
If your boot animation files have a different name just rename the files in the zip to whatever your default boot animation files are named so it works. Assuming you're using a different device than the Note 3 that is. I think they may vary in file names from device to device, not sure....

the animation appears to blown out of proportion. iis due to the less pixel count in my device. it will be reallly grea if you can make Qmg for 320*240.

Sorry about that again, here is the updated file. Judging by how it came out when you sent me the video, I don't really know if it will come out correctly even now that it's fixed because I don't have that type of phone to test it on. In the end you're a tester I guess. I can only verify it working properly on the Note 3.

[BOOTANIMATION] 6T BIOS Boot Animation

After someone said my custom boot animation looked very cool I decided to share it here.
It is based on @frysee Android Bios Boot animation.
I upscaled the Galaxy Nexus S bootanimation using Irfanview to get that crisp nearest neighbor batch resize. I also changed the text to the 6T specs.
I have linked below both a the Bootanimation.zip and a Magisk module.

This is pretty damn cool, it works just fine on the op7pro even if the data doesn't match, it's still amazingly good

Thank you for this. Takes me back to the good old days of my Galaxy Nexus.

Thanks for this greate and funny bootanimation

In my opinion You could add .zip of generic boot animation, so we can come back if we wish to.
Second thing would be version of oxygen, instead 10.3.2 You could use 10 or 10.x.x. as 10.3.3 is on most of devices now days.
Third suggestion is to ditch the last android boot, and stay with the screen where "activating root access" is on wait for longer. At the end showing "have a nice day"
Thank You for Your work.

I assume like any other boot animation zip, this must be containing the images which are displayed. Open the zip file & you modify the image files as you like But you'll be needing the exact same font.

It was working well on OOS and AOSPA but not working on evo ex rom. What could be the reason.
Edit: Got it working with some modification to the zip. Its due to a different implementation of how bootanimation work in many custom roms on dark mode.

Wondering if you could help? I just tried flashing the Bootimage.zip file I downloaded from your feed (I used TWRP), I'm on OnePlus 6T (T-Mobile, USA model), rooted, running LineageOS. For some reason its saying the .zip file is the incorrect type. Sorry if this is noob question/mistake on my part, but any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

This .zip file is not for flashing, you just need to copy it to the /system/media (in some roms /system/product/media) folder, but to do this, you have to use a filemanager with root-permissions.

Where is the download link?
* Edit: Found it nevermind

Hello! I can't seem to find the magisk module zip for download. Is it the zip that is listed with the previews? Could you please advise or direct me to where I can download please? Also is this working on Oneplus 6t TMobile version running stock Android 10.3.6? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!!
