[BOOT ANIMATION]The Screaming Droid! Now With Sound!!! (Updated 3/13/11)

UPDATE:
First I want to thank every one, I also want to give a shout out to
Mrdaviso for making the sound possible on cm7, please give him thanks for his thread on this. I've been waiting to have sound for the animation for sooo long and now it finally works and thanks to him.
I stripped all the text out of the animation except for the android logo and the preview below is exactly what it is, he screams and then stares at you and blinks until your phone boots.
The scream I choose is one I thought was appropriate... the original Godzilla roar! But if you really want, and I honestly would love to see more sound files made, please offer others. You can use mine as a template for syncing with the animation. I love to see others post sounds for this!
Heres the d/l link hope you guys like this.This zip file contains the bootanimation.zip, android_audio.mp3 (godzilla) and the bootsnd.sh (to setup sound playing on phone bootup)
Installation of the new un-branded versions with sound!!! PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:
First how to setup boot animation sound on cm (link to the op):
To install boot animation:
1. just unzip the screaming_android_with_sound.zip file on the root of your sdcard
2. copy the bootanimation.zip file to the system/media folder replacing the old one or renaming the old one and copying this one over if your just testing.
3. Android wins again!
Changing the ResolutionThe resolution for the animation is 480X800 if you'd like a different size:
1. copy the bootanimation.zip file to your computer.
2. open the zip and edit the desc.txt 's second line (480 800 not the 25 read below) to match your phones resolution.
3. save the file and close the zip program
4. you shouldn't need to unzip the bootanimation.zip file to do the above
5. if you do need/want to unzip it when rezipping make sure the compression level your zipping it on is "store" or it won't work.
Sound doesnt seem to match up?... change to animation speed in the desc.txt file:
1. copy the bootanimation.zip file to your computer.
2. open the zip and edit the desc.txt 's second line (only the 25 not the first 2 numbers) to speed it up or slow it down.
3. save the file and close the zip program
4. you shouldn't need to unzip the bootanimation.zip file to do the above
5. if you do need/want to unzip it when rezipping make sure the compression level your zipping it on is "store" or it won't work.
NOTES:
want a different sound on the animation... the sound file has to be called android_audio.mp3 for it to play, this file will play for any new bootanimation you install unless you remove the android_audio.mp3 file and it has to be an mp3.
Programs to help... if you don't have root explorer get "Super Manager" from the market it does r/w and root privileged file exploring (and more) just like root explorer and its free.
I'm only giving this out in zip file format, I'm not doing a flashable as its to hard to keep up with all the different roms and resolutions. I provide instruction on how to change the resolution of the animation to fit your phone.

Thank you. It took a while I had several version I didnt like and I finally settle on this one.

Looks good man ... Great job on it. Do u plan on making a dark version?

Really does everything have to be black around here. Lol what do you mean by dark? Maybe if I get enough requests.
I did have a good idea for a dark boot animation... one that would be easier to make dark. The way this was ripped doesn't lend well to dark colors.

Fun stuff as always XD
Awesome job buddy

Absolutely cool as hell!!! Thank you for this. One Suggestion. Do you think you could make the android scream more than once before the phone boots up?

Cool. Thanks! Def enjoying it either way.

I love it! If I could add anything at all it would be sound. I think a good Jurassic Park roar would sound friggin awesome when the droid screams. I have no idea how to do that though, lol

Thanks... Well I could add a sound but it would only work for sense based rom. How I wish there was sound.
If people want a sense version I will male one with sound.

[Boot Animation][Splash Screen]Dime's Incredible Dropbox

I am still monitoring this thread, but all new content moving forward will be on my blog to make things easier ^_^
This will be a thread for all the boot animations and splash screens I produce/edit. Some boot animations are ROM specific, as noted, and can simply be flashed via recovery or ROM Manager, others will need to be renamed and adb pushed to the correct location for the ROM you're using (PM me if you need assistance, happy to help ^_^). For the splash screens, you MUST be S-Off via unrevoked forever. I will be checking and updating this thread regularly so feel free to post any suggestions, comments or requests here in this thread.
Instructions for ROM specific boot animations
1)Download .zip file from your phone by following the link you want
2)Install from recovery or ROM Manager
3)Reboot & enjoy!
Instructions for generic boot animations
1)Download .zip file from your computer by following the link you want
2)Rename the downloaded .zip appropriately (Usually bootanimation.zip or VZW_bootanimation.zip; if unsure, contact your ROM chef or PM me and I'll help as best I can)
3)ADB push the renamed .zip file to the appropriate location on your phone (Usually /system/media or /system/customize/resource; again, if unsure, contact your ROM chef or PM me and I'll help as best I can)
4)Reboot & enjoy!
Instructions for splash1 screens
1)YOU MUST BE S-OFF IN ORDER TO USE THESE! IF YOU ARE NOT, GO HERE AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS LISTED BEFORE PROCEEDING TO STEP 2!
2)Download .zip file from either from your computer or your phone
3)Rename it to PB31IMG.zip
4)Remove or rename any existing PB31IMG.zip file from the root of your SD card and copy the one you just downloaded and renamed to the root of your SD card
5)Power off your phone, reboot into bootloader (hold volume down and power, when it turns on, release power but NOT VOLUME DOWN!)
6)The bootloader will scan the file and prompt you to hit volume up to install, do that (unless you were just doing all this for practice and don't actually WANT a new splash1 screen lol)
7)Reboot & enjoy!​

where to push for redemptive 1.7? adb push VerizonBootAnimation.zip/system/app ?
or system/resource/customize and is it VZW_bootanimation that i need to renale it? or something else? are they still VZW files? or sprint?
Dont tell me to use root explorer, i like adb.

lol no worries, I never tell people what to do, only what I would do ^_^ I would just flash it in Recovery or ROM Manager (Heard some people having trouble with ROM Manager method, haven't been able to duplicate). If you really want to ADB push it, first you have to open up the RedemptiveRevolution_BIOS_boot_animation.zip file you downloaded, go in to the system>customize>resource folder and pull out the VZW_bootanimation.zip Then you can ADB push that exact VZW_bootanimation.zip file, no renaming necessary, to /system/customize/resource and you should be golden, but again, that's more work than you have to do ^_^
Good question though, and I updated the OP accordingly so hopefully it'll be a little clearer moving forward, that was my fault. The way I'm trying to do this is, any boot animations that are ROM specific (Custom ROM logos, wording, etc...), I'll install the ROM on my phone once I'm done with the boot animation and then try and load it myself. If it works, I post it, if not, I try again lol. That way, if it's in the ROM Specific section, all you should have to do is flash the downloaded .zip file in recovery or ROM Manager. It's when you dip into the Generic section that you have to be a teeeensy bit savvy and I'll be glad to help with those, just drop me a PM or a message here in this thread (Need to know what ROM you're running) and I'll either walk you thru it or, if possible, repackage the boot animation for you so you can flash it to your ROM in recovery the easy way ^_^

Awesome work Dan. I donated last night and he had a custom boot animation for me within a couple hours. He'll put whatever text you want on the boot screen and a custom image. He'll also keep tweaking it until you are happy with it.
Couldn't be happier with the work!

I'm also using redemptive 1.7 on Dinc and am having trouble getting a boot animation I want to use to work. I'm using root explorer and have tried placing the .zip file in system/customize/resource and named it bootanimation.zip and also tried VZW_bootanimation.zip and am having no luck. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Which one are you having trouble with? Again, if you guys are downloading the ROM specific ones, I've made that as simple as pie, just flash them in recovery or from ROM manager. If it's a different one, lemme know and I can make you a flashable .zip for Redemptive (How much do you LOVE those transitions by the way? Those things are sick!)

very nice work dude!
would really LOVE to see a DROID X BIOS one, i would use it for sure!

the generic incredible one is awesome

Thanks guys, I'd love to update these for other devices, but I have a D'Inc and my gf has a Moto Droid so that's all I can test on lol I need some testers *hint hint*

[boot animation] WORKING dancedroid boot anim...Flashable zips added!

This is the Droid dance boot animation that I customized a little to work good with my evo. I made it have twice as many frames and run twice as fast. It looks great and has no lag. Just rename it to bootanimation.zip and use Root Explorer to replace your original in /system/customize/resource and it should run when u reboot. If you want a sound clip to go with it use ringdroid app to make a 20 second .mp3 clip for the Droid to dance to and rename it to SPC_animation_final.mp3 and put it in the same folder. Good luck and enjoy.http://db.tt/tdsEB50
I take no credit for this other than moving some .jpgs around and renaming them and redoing the folder setup to make it work correctly. I plan to refine this alittle more and remove the black bars. Also if anyone would like to help me make a flashable zip out of this PM me and I would really appreciate it. I will upload this to mediafire when I get home from work because dropbox limits downloads. Thanks and please don't think I am trying to rip off anyone's work. It just didn't work for me off the bat so I refined it and figured I would share.
EDIT: I have a redone it to a fullscreen version and it looks much better and still runs just as good. Here is the link...bootanimation.zip
EDIT 2# I have also added 2 flashable zips for the boot animation:
1. Flashable zip for Roms that have the bootanimation.zip in \system\customize\resource (such as Baked Snack, Stock) use RingDroid.apk to cut a 20sec music clip and rename it SPC_animation_final.mp3 and put in the same folder. Here is the link.
2. Flashable zip for Roms that have the bootanimation.zip in \system\media (such as Caulklin's EVio 2) use RingDroid.apk to cut a 20sec music clip and rename it to android_audio.mp3 and put it in the same folder. Here is the link.
These 2 .ZIPS are identical other than where they place the boot animation because some roms put them in different folders. I have not tested the .ZIP for the customize folder yet because I am currently running Caulklin's amazing EVio 2 1.5 rom. Please post your results with these files and also I would appreciate it if you would rate the quality. Thanks and Good luck!

Fullscreen version now in OP.

Thanks, Ill try this out later. For Cyanogen users, the .zip also must be placed in /system/media in case anyone is wondering.
Does the audio clip have to be 20 seconds for it to work?

any chance of making it with the background being black?

sometimes it seems like it speeds through the animation.. usually it stops on him facing away (he doesn't dance until the phone has booted).. any thoughts?

if you are asking if the animation will work if the audio is not 20 seconds exactly, then yes.. mine works without audio

Where does ringdroid send the file once I save it? Cant find it anywhere.

Tried both. Didn't work.

flashable zip 1 works on myns warm rls3. thank you

Going back to previous version with black bars. This version is too short and stops about 10-15 seconds before my phone boots up.
Ian B

Could you make it run about 10 seconds longer? Love the fullscreen otherwise.

Sorry for the problems guys, I don't use Cyanogen so I'm not sure what the problem is I would be very thankful if someone with some knowledge on making flashable zips could edit this to work on CM, I would definitely add it to the OP.
Also, I guess our phones run alittle different because the speed and timing for the bootanimation is perfect on my phone with every rom I have put it on. I will work on these as soon as I get a weekend (could possibly be after thanksgiving, sorry have been really busy at work lately). I will try slowing it down just alittle and also add some more frames and try to figure out how to make it loop correctly so it won't just freeze until the phone boots.
Sorry again for the problems, this is my first bootanimation so I'm still learning. I actually just wanted to get this working on my phone and decided to share it. I will update the OP as soon as I have the time to refine this further.

ty
thanks man!
now trying to think of a song!

o yes! thanks man!
Used the zip file and added a song.. imma add it to my post. i will give you credit!

Great Job, will try this.....

Neat!
Works great on Myn's 2.2. I picked "I Don't Feel Like Dancing" from Scissor Sisters for the boot audio. Pretty funny. I have attached the edited version I am using. It might run a little long for some (about 35 seconds) but you can use Ringdroid to edit it.
This is not a flashable zip. Just extract/unzip the .mp3 and move it to the /system/customize/resource folder. If you want to save the original boot audio file be sure to rename it before moving or copying this one.

Big bang theory show intro bootanim

Is it possible? How hard would it be to do?

should be pretty simple

he's asking where you're putting it on your transformer...
as in /data/local or system/media
it matters on our devices i think.
also, how did you take the video and make it into images. I found out how to do it, but i end up with 900 JPEGs and I need .pngs ...

can you go ahead and post what you have, maybe someone can take a look at it.

This is what is in my desc.txt:

Like to know how this is coming this is something I am interested in.

Hopefully i will have this figured out soon

Make sure that when you create the .zip you use no compression.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk

Thanks, that just might be the problem.
update: Thanks hawkxcore that did it. For others, in linux this is how I did it:
zip -0 bootanimation.zip part0/* desc.txt
* The -0 stores the files without compression.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium

Ok got some progress. Got the animation to load, but I need to shrink the images a bit, currently the zip file is 98M. So let me play with this tonight and I'll get it ready to post here tomorrow
Here's what I got so far, got it down to 13MB: http://mir.cr/TUZXFHB1

although i cant root my transformer i do know a way to make bootanims from videos.
use after effects and it can do the png thing also you can make custom 3d looking anims in there. if you dont have it use a free trial or some of those torrents things. not suggedting anything and not condoning illegal stuff its your choice.

your transformer doesn't need to be rooted to install boot animations. I installed it on hers and her's isn't even rooted to this day.
You push it with adb - "adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
I'll upload some boot animations soon, I've become quite good at making them over the past couple days.
Anybody that is having trouble with their boot animation.. don't be stupid like me. I was taking the bootanimation folder that I was making them in and I compressed that folder. And I kept compressing that instead of just the contents (desc.txt and folder1), stupid mistake, but an easy one to make.

Has anyone tried this bootanimation ?
I'm trying to figure out how to add audio to the animation, but it looks like it requires a ROM tweek. If anyone has any information on this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Automatic Splash Image Creator (PNG to Flashable Zip in One Click!)

This DOES NOT work on the i9300/note 2 and never will, please stop asking about it.
Thanks to the work of invisiblek and some Google searching I was able to come up with the following tool:
This tool takes a 720x1280 .PNG image and converts it to a recovery-flashable splash screen in a single click.
A video so you can see what this changes: http://youtu.be/XXaBJTVQ2Sw
How to use:
Making your own splash screen:
0) Download and extract the .zip file
1) Make a 720x1280 .png image you want to be your splash screen (this comes in-between the boot animation and the quick Samsung logo flash)
2) Name it "initlogo.png" without the quotes
3) Place it in the PNGtoConvert folder
4) Run the "PNG-2-RLE.bat" file
5) You are finished! A "flashthisinrecovery.zip" will appear in the same directory as the batch files. Just flash it in recovery and enjoy your new splash screen!
Note: If you want the .RLE and not the whole flashable, it can be found as "initlogo.rle" in the "kernel" folder or you can pull it from the kernel folder inside the "flashmeinrecovery.zip"
Converting an .RLE that you made back to a .PNG for editing:
0) Download an extract the .zip file
1) Copy the "initlogo.rle" you want to convert to a .PNG to the RLEtoConvert folder. It must be named "initlogo.rle"
2) Run the "RLE-2-PNG.bat"
3) PNG will be in the PNGtoConvert folder named "initlogoOUTPUT.png"
Other notes:
I have included the stock initlogo as a .PNG named "initlogoSTOCKBACKUP.png" for your reference/backup purposes. If you want to test the tool with it, remember to rename it to initlogo.png
If you flash a new kernel/rom the splash will revert to stock. To get it back, just flash the "flashmeinrecovery.zip" again. You don't need to reconvert it or anything.
This has only been tested with the d2_vzw but will work with all USA (S4 CPU) variants!

As always, even though this tool has been tested, nobody is responsible to damage to your phone except yourself!

Linux version coming?

No... there are too many windows binaries lol.

Sounds interesting, I just downloaded it and will play around with this tonight. I don't know why I never thought about personalizing my phone by just changing out my splash image with one of my own, but this sounds cool and will give me something to play around with tonight at work. Thanks, I will let you know how it works out for me. I appreciate your efforts and willingness to share your work.

I mean lets be honest it is really a minor thing and it shows for all of 5 seconds but it is still fun to change.

The Samsung thing is getting kind of old...just sayin.
Thanks Con

Glad to hear it works. It is always nice to know when it works for someone else and my instructions are good

Note: the image I used wasn't 720x1280, does it have to be?

This is pretty cool. we were doing this with the thunderbolt and i changed my all the time to the flavor of the moment.
thanks for getting this done...it is not necessary, but it sure is cool...

It must be 720x1280. If you don't follow the directions (read Step #1) you shouldn't expect it to work!

i thanked you in the other post so i'll do it here too. thanks!
I love changing my splash screens and boot animations. when I came over from a long line of Evos everyone was looking at my like if I was crazy when I was wondering why we couldn't change our splash.
anyways, have you looked into changing the Samsung splash that comes before? I would like to replace both so that the image I created shows longer. don't need that Samsung logo flashing around

I don't think we can because it is a part of the bootloader which is signed so we can't modify it. On the gnex the app logome can change it but we can't due to the security. I am not sure if the other carrier models are signed but for Verizon I am pretty sure it's impossible.

Worked great. Here is my (extremely dumb) first splash haha.

Here is mine! We should make a thread with all of these btw. Maybe I'll go over to the theme section in a little bit and make one.
