Had a little bit of free time today, so I decided to see about making a nice professional-looking boot animation. What you'll find here is the result... This is my first attempt at making any sort of animation of any kind, so I'm quite open to comments/suggestions/feedback.
"So what happens in this animation?" you ask.
I'll tell you.
The quad-color X logo smoothly fades in on top of a black background, and it gradually falls backward to take its rightful position inside the phrase "nexus one" as the letters fade in one at a time. The colorful X then spins in place for the remainder of the loading process.
To install:
Code:
adb remount
adb push xspin_bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
or flash the xspin_bootanimation-update.zip from your favorite recovery - installs to /data/local/bootanimation.zip
Enjoy
edit: thanks to gIMpSTa for the update.zip to flash from recovery!
UPDATE: Added ShinyX, a shinier version of the spinning X (00167.png is a shot of this shiny mod). Install process is the same; the update-zip will stick it in /data/local.
does it work to flash via recovery?

Not at this point... give me a few and let me figure out how to package it up and I'll see if I can hook you up.

nice boot animation!!
Looks nice (per screenshots/description at least ). Haven't tried it yet, but am about to.
Here is a signed update.zip for anyone interested.
Codesplice, feel free to grab it and add to first post!
Edit: oh yeah, this update.zip puts it in /data/local not /system/media so this will probably only work cyanogenmod based roms.

@codesplice
is it possible to make a version with big "first" letters? like Nexus One (now it's nexus one) no big deal but I like to have big letters first

Oh sweet. For some reason I thought I remembered cyanogen adding the ability to use /data/local for bootanimation but perhaps I was mistaken

Hmm. I suppose I could... I was just pulling those letters from the logo at google.com/phone, though, and it was in lowercase there. I don't know what the font is so I'm not sure I could 100% reproduce the same letter shapes with capital letters. I'll see if I can pull that off tomorrow though.
Any chance of a gif or a youtube video? I don't have my phone at the mo (at HTC being repaired) but this sounds awesome

lol, sorry, not tonight. We'll see how much free time I have tomorrow.
In the meantime, I'm still trying to figure out why I can't get the update.zip I created to work... it works fine when I build it to install to /system/media/, but fails with a syntax error when I change the directory structure and update-script to point at /data/local/. :-/
Could actually use some help on this if anyone feels so inclined.
File structure:
Code:
-data
--local
---bootanimation.zip
-META-INF
--com
---google
----android
-----update-script
update-script contents:
Code:
show_progress 0.1 0
copy_dir PACKAGE:data DATA:
show_progress 0.1 10
I created the UNIX-format update-script file using Notepad++.
Doesn't seem to be much syntax to screw up there, but each time I try to flash the resulting zip (after signing and such) I get "E: Syntax error in update script".
This setup works fine if I change the directory structure for bootanimation.zip to "system/media", and change the copy_dir line to "copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:".
I don't get it
edit: LOL, rebooted after pushing the update.zip to the sdcard and it worked fine. I dun get it still, but at least it works :-D
Wow.this is a very nice boot animation.. good work!

Help
Let me know if there is anything I can do to help the rooting effort on "the droid" Just made the switch from a solid year on the G1 for the service.
I used cp maps.apk /system/apps and it just locked up my g1 on cyan 4.2.3.1
by locked up i mean that it booted past android boot logo but then would just goto black screen, i dont know how maps.apk did this lol
tried pushing facebook.apk and odex to mytouch 3g. Got the black screen with no boot. Had to ADB shell to rm it.
So... dont try that app. Too bad too. im really looking forward to a usable native facebook client! Wish it wasnt 2.0 proprietary

Not surprising, seeing as it's not a HTC phone i suppose.
Does deodex require root? If not get someone with a Droid to do this to the Maps.odex:

keep it zipped.
you can try putting it in the /system/media directory, also. (that's where I put my replacements at least and it works just fine)
Maybe a stupid (stock) question but for all us Android / Linux noobs...
Do we need root for this?
Thanks in advance.
i get an error ... data failed device or resource busy....what am i doing wrong?
I dont know why I want to put this on my phone, but I do.
Could someone upload it somewhere else, I have exceeded my limit from rapid share.
This is about when you wish your phone is stuck in an endless reboot cycle...
I know I would!
Any chance we can get a non Rapidshare mirror for these files??
Do NOT push it to system media, push it to data local... that is how you replace the boot animation on a nexus on
e, plain and simple
For those who asked if you need root, of course you do
Anyone having issues with it is doing it wrong or the file is becoming corrupted during download. The instructions are clear follow them and it works
And once again, its data/local... don't push it to system/media
does anyone want to be kind enough to upload this to mediafire.

Ok, so I got bored one day and decided to make a boot animation of my namesake. Its really simple and looks kinda stupid now, but I'm still workin on it. I'm probably going to put Andy in there with a bandanna and fix the way the letters fly in, probably going to stagnate them.

Thats the link. Thanks to Stericson for droidbin.com
Let me know how you guys like it. I'll post screens in a bit. Listening to the AndroidGuys Thursday night podcast lol.
I'll post instructions on how to flash it later as well for those of you that don't know. (also you can just download it and look in the zip at the images)
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/
adb reboot
Click to expand...

Thats the code for flashing it via adb. Using root explorer, you'd just drop it there.
If that doesn't work try placing it in /data/local/

Sorry it took me so long to post the instructions, but they are up now, along with a video.
I can make the frog a boot ani if you want. I'll do it either today or tomorrow.
Edit 4-3-2011: Request has been fulfilled by kpkimmel. See this thread for his ps1 and Sega boot screens.
preview of ps1 boot screen below.
I saw someone made a boot animation with the PS3 startup screen and it made me really nostalgic for the playstation 1 startup (both bios and os screens). In my opinion, the PS1 startup was the best ever! Can anyone make the PS1 startup below into a boot animation? Preferably with sound? To me the sound is the best part!
Thanks in advance to anyone who would indulge a hopeless girl geek!
lmao OMG!!!! ... :,) that was a blast yea i'd love that
give this a try, push to your phone, should work, didnt' test it just kinda rushed it...so hopefully you enjoy. Thanks.
Also i uploaded two different ones, they are the same boot animation just tweaked a little bit because some evos boot slower or faster than others..so try one and if it works great, if not, try the other one.
Also included flashable.zip so you can flash from recovery.
gahhh this just reminded of FFVIII

Thank you, your donation is much appreciated as i am attempting to start development for Sprint Android devices fulltime.
So im running CM7 #33 and just tried flashing the third down "PS1_flashable.zip" that didnt work. So I tried just using root explorer and moving the first lnk into the system->media and deleting my other boot animation and that didnt work either any body can point me in the right direction?
None of these attachments work.
Matt, what part failed? Did you get an error message while flashing? I think if you are doing this manually you have to move both the SPC_animation_final.mp3 sound file and the bootanimation.zip included in the ps1_bootanimation.zip file into /system/customize/resource/. That's where they are on my system and it works fine.

Odd. I tried both of the flashables and they both worked. AmonRa complained that the zip wasn't signed but I just turned the signature check off and it flashed without a problem.

I was always under the impression that the bootanimation.zip went in,\system\media
I hot it working now, just without sound.
the sound should work just fine, not sure if your putting in the /system/media part if the spc_animation_final.mp3 has a different name or not, i'll look it up and get back

Yea I tried flashing it first and it did give me a weird message appeared but it did say it installed fine. However that didn't work so I tried manually putting it in my System->Media section and that was no go.
I did unzip one of the files and put both the SPC.mp3 file and the boot animation.zip in my System-media and it worked this time only without the sound
^
But that could be because im running CM7 and I don't think it can play sounds while booting up, But I could be wrong?
Also it was pretty short loading up and was black screen for the better part of it rebooting any way to get it to repeat or load up slower so it stay's on the scrren longer.
Whew...I do love it though! So thanks
to slow the boot seq just go into the bootanimation.zip open the desc.txt and change the 60p to a lower number.

Alright, I have several friends who want the same thing, so it would not be just for me (and it might convince a few people to get an Android phone ). But if someone could make this a bootanimation (AOSP, Landscape), I would be ETERNALLY grateful. I would not be able to compensate you financially, but if there would be anything I could do for you all you would have to do is ask*
So, can anyone help?

I'm on Sense, and I tried it with my Rom and it worked/ran like a champ. It's in Landscape. It's late so I didn't try do any audio with it, but if you wanted to, you could probably easily pull that song from the video and simply rename it/push it. IF it doesn't work, it's most likely because I messed up the desc.txt.. Let me know and I will try to fix it ASAP.
Anyways, let me know if it works.. Going to bed.

Edit: it didn't work
I'll get it working for you, it's an easy fix. It's working on my phone right now. I actually forgot to replace the one I did last night for you with my original one. Rebooted my phone this morning and your boot animation played.
Working on it now, and I'm going to flash over to CM7 really quick to make sure it boots like it should.
Edit - http://www.mediafire.com/?z47q232h8h4tfia I accidentally uploaded it with the Sense desc.txt. It's fixed in that version. Also, on my Sense Rom when I ran it, it went through the entire animation fine and looped the last ending I have it set to. On the empty CM7 rom I tested it on, it booted really quickly because it had virtually nothing to load, so it didn't make it through the entire animation. Let me know if it makes it through all of it on yours.

I have the MP3 for it as well. What do I rename it to, and how can I use ADB to push the zip and mp3 to my phone?
I believe you rename it to SPC_Audio_Final.mp3 but I'll have to double check to make sure. I never use Audio on mine.
If you want, you can find root explorer and then use that to move the files throughout the phone. It's an application for android. ADB will work as well, there are plenty of tutorials as to how you set it up.
The commands are..
ADB push bootanimation.zip /System/media
That should be where yours is located. If you find that root explorer application, you can do it all from your phone through the menus. Just copy/paste. The audio file should go to the same place as the boot animation.
