LCARS boot animation replacement for SPRINT HTC EVO 4G ONLY
NEW METHOD USING SIGNED ZIP THANKS TO nebenezer
Download signed zip to sd and flash with recovery
Signed zip is in download section below.
NOW AVAILABLE FOR THE GALAXY TAB AS WELL, THANKS TO nobleskill
Link to Galaxy Tab thread here
OLD METHOD:
To install...
extract the zip file
reboot into recovery using rom manager
In the partitions menu select mount /system (or if using other recovery then manually mount /system through adb)
Code:
adb push [path to extracted bootanimation.zip] /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
adb push [path to extracted SPC_animation_final.mp3] /system/customize/resource/SPC_animation_final.mp3
adb reboot
I use this on my own phone and love it.... I am happy to answer questions about installation if they come up, but feel the need to post the usual disclaimer of.... while there is no reason this should do anything negative to your phone as long as you follow the directions, should you brick your phone or cause your phone to act goofy, or drop your phone in the toilet, neither the lcars custom boot animation or myself are in any way shape or form responcible for it. If you don't like that then don't download it.
EDIT: Screen Shots as requested
Had to attach because i'm apperently not verified to post images
Can we get some screenshots?
works amazing and i can rub it in all my star wars fans faces
Oh I love it thank you.
These are probably noob questions.
Does this need root? Do I unzip to the root of the memory card? I'm going to guess a rom manager does need root. Is the code only for adb and not if you have rom manager?

Yes you need root because you have to write to the /system partition.
It is easiest to do with ROM Manager's recovery which is why i gave instructions for that.
You extract the zip to your computer and use adb to push to the phone in the correct location.
damn, wish i could flash this like a normal rom :-\

I would like to offer this as an update.zip, but i don't know how to sign them... if someone wants to email or pm me that information i will be happy to post it in an update.zip format
Process that I did and its not working
adb reboot recovery
Once the phone was in recovery I did
C:\Users\Tim\Desktop\Android root\tools>adb push bootanimation.zip /system/custo
mize/resource/bootanimation.zip
2584 KB/s (3253387 bytes in 1.229s)

Nothing.
Dariuas,
Sounds like the system partition is not mounted...

this is covered in the ROM Manager Menu which it sounds like you're not using so if you add
Code:
adb shell mount /system
once in recovery but before the file pushes you should be fine
Outstanding, it works. Now if I want to undo it? :O

I don't use a mac, nor do i have any access to a mac... however since the android SDK is what gives you access to ADB and there is an Android SDK for mac... i'm assuming that you can do this by following the same steps using the android sdk for mac which you can get:

Great job man, just pushed it to my Evo and its workin great. Thanks.
Pushed bootanimation.zip to Nexus One and it also works fine there.
This is SOOOOOOO awesome! Any chance of this becoming a theme?

With some help I figured out how to do this last night pm me and I think i could get things working for you.
Flashed it and it's way awesome - I'd prefer it with no audio though. Can I just push a different mp3 or an empty file of the same name as the mp3?

I'd been trying to figure out how to set up a few simple things in my rooted, post-MR, but otherwise stock CDMA Hero. Namely, ADB Remount permissions (/default.prop file), set up Superuser to properly manage permissions for apps that require root, and install Busybox. Ideally, I wanted to set these up manually. Turns out it's not as simple as one might hope. ADB Remount, for example, requires that you modify and repackage the boot.img/recovery.img.
So, what I've got here is a minimal update.zip file you can apply to your phone via the recovery console. Nothing crazy, it's just MoDaCo's ROM 1.1, but with everything taken out except for the aforementioned items. Once you patch your phone, just these items will be configured and your phone will still look, run, etc. the same as before. Also, a2sd will be copied to your /system/bin directory, but it's something that had to stay in the file for some reason, otherwise the phone wouldn't boot. Probably a setting Paul built into the boot.img.
In any case, here it is. It's working well for me. Hope it helps some of you out too.

Thanks goes to Paul of course (MoDaCo) camalot (Droid Explorer) and dagnasty for telling me about the auto-sign plugin that's available in Droid Explorer.

Yup. It's a script that was added to the boot.img-ramdisk that copies all of your apps to your sd when apps2sd's requirements are met.
So if the sdcard is not partitioned correctly then ap2sd will not run, yes?
Smacky55 said:

"Correctly" is relative. If there is no EXT partition on the sdcard, then the ROM won't try to move your applications to it. But the script runs regardless.
Sorry, meant if sdcard isn't partitioned at all. Thanks for the answer.
flipzmode told me in another thread that even though this script is included, that doesn't mean that the update.zip i posted will enable apps2sd for anyone. there's more required in order to get it to work (i stripped most everything out).
A few simple questions. re -stock 1.56... rom
1) in the zip system folder, its refers to /xbin ; does that require that /system/xbin be pre-existent, or will it create it ?
2) busybox is in /system/bin on mine. Do I need to remove it?
a) if so then due to the "busybox --install -s /system/bin"
command , how do i remove the current symbolic busybox entry points?
b)have $PATH changes been applied to overwrite the current export
3) empty init.sh file?
4) google meta references?
I think I may understand the need to get bootstrap-"root" permissions established, is there another way as well?
Thanks for dealing with these noobie questions.
Thanks for this. worked out great.

sorry willy man. not sure what i can tell you. i'm pretty close to being a newbie myself. i never fully understood what the script was doing. i simply took the original modaco update and compared it to another script paul had posted on his forums last fall.
if you unzip the file, you should be able to see everything that's going on. the file structure is super simple, so modify it to suit your needs and give it a try. worst case, you'll need to revert to a nandroid backup. oh, and don't forget you'll need to sign the file and zip it back up in order to flash it onto the phone.
come to think of it, i guess maybe i should update the script using the latest modaco rom, though i'm not sure how helpful it'd be for everyone. to be honest, i've since bitten the bullet and moved on to flipz's rom and the gumbo kernel. runs beautifully!
Ok, so I formated the card, put the .zip file on the sdcard and tried to press home+power to enter the recovery council. When I hold home and press power I am taking to a screen that has an exclamation point and an image of the phone.
Can anyone help?

Boot the phone by holding home only. And...I'm assuming you have the recovery console installed and are rooted.
I think the problem is that a recovery boot image was not previously installed. A green screen with a set of options should've appeared.

Code:
adb push recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img /sdcard
Pushing is equivalent of copy the file to the root of your sdcard. By the time you finished reading this it should be done. You'll know its done because the ouput will say something like transferred X bytes in X secs.

adb shell reboot
This will cause the phone to restart automatically. Wait till it is fully booted to continue.

Recovery Console
Go to the recovery console by holding down home when you power your Android. In that menu, you should see something that says 'flash update from SD card'... or something like that... then you choose the .zip that he has so kindly provided us.
Oh, and you have to put the .zip file that he provided on the SD card if that isn't already obvious :/
I also renamed it update.zip once I copied it to my SD card. Hope this clears it up a little. I just rooted my Hero yesterday.. so I am on the same NOOB level.

You shouldn't need to wipe your phone; however I really don't think it's a good idea to use this. I put this together last year when we were still running Android 1.5 so it's WAY out of date. Just go with Nfinite's ROMs. He keeps them almost completely stock (depending on which you choose) and they can serve as great back-up / go-to ROMs.
Hey guys,
I haven't really given anything to XDA but have taken a lot. So I thought, I'd share this with ya. I think it's freaking awesome.
I flashed it via ADB on my Nexus One, and it works perfectly, and I'm using Rodriguez Froyo ROM, so it should work for most of ya.
Directions:
1. Put the zip file in your tools folder from the android-sdk-windows
2. Load up Command Prompt (cmd) and go to your tools directory inside the android-sdk-windows folder
3. Load up your phone into recovery and mount /system
4. Type in command prompt
adb remount
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media
adb reboot

I just pushed it right after installing the new Rodriguez ROM with the new paul r17 release and I got this issue, so Im not sure if you did the same, it actually went into a boot loop for me, so I re-wyped everything did another install, rebooted the phone and waited for it to boot into the main screen.
Then I rebooted, and then I pushed it. Then it worked fine.
For some reason it reminded me of the Super Street Fighter 2 sequence when Ryu charges up a fireball then throws it towards the screen. Any Street Fighter fans here know what I'm talking about? Anyway, I'm going ttotry this out. It looks awesome...wonder if anyone could make a Transforming Title, but use the words Nexus One.
Weird, I pushed it using Root Explorer and the bootanimation was the word Android with light shining across it. This happened to me before and once before that it was the word Android but with a Spot Light going back and forth, like the 20th Century Fox scene from the movies.

I figured out what went wrong. There are 35 frames and it loops at 30fps. I deleted the last few frames and it works fine (make it a total of 30 frames per loop).

Anyone else notice the resolution in the text file is set to 480x854? Which is droid or milestone resolution.
The uploader might want too change it to the nexus resolution, 480 800, if not I will do it when I get off work and get home. Atleast on my phone I will change it.

Using Root Explorer…
1. You have to be rooted in order to do this. Rooting info here and here.
2. Download Root Explorer from the market.
3. Download the Droid Life boot anim: bootanimation.zip (alt link)
4. If you downloaded via PC, mount your Droid and drop the .zip file onto your SD card.
5. Unmount your Droid.
6. Open Root Explorer, tap on “sdcard” and locate bootanimation.zip.
7. Long press on bootanimation.zip and choose “Move”.
8. Hit the back button once and locate the “data” folder.
9. Tap and open “data” and then “local”.
10. Hit “Paste” which should be an option at the bottom of your screen.
11. If there is already a bootanimation.zip file, let Root Explorer overwrite it.
12. Back out of Root Explorer, reboot your phone, and BAM!
13. Enjoy your new Droid Life boot animation.

I don't believe it can be done without adb. Unless you found a way to navigate to /system folder.
and by not pushing the sound file(.mp3) the sound will be taken out.

you can use root explorer if you like..
Besides the fact that it says Droid I like it..it may be my ROM but I had to change the sound file to android_audio.mp3 to get it to play.

I have never used beter terminal. Try the terminal emulator from jack palevich. It is in the market place for free.
Denied access, read only in the emulator sounds like you didnt put in 'su' first. Once you enter type su in the prompt should change to #
your adb error sounds like you need to either mount the sdcard or change it to charge only.
I put the files in there but the damn SPRINT animation which I hate with a passion keeps playing. I can adb shell into my phone and see the files in /system/customize/resource but it doesn't pick it up automatically. Is there anything else I need to do to get rid of the SPRINT one?
I am rooted using the 2 root safe versions of the OTA updates, but otherwise stock build. I have also tried using the boot animation replace utility someone else on here developed ... it says it worked as well ... but then the stupid sprint one plays. Any ideas? I have a bunch of stuff in my resource folder I also have these files in my customize folder:
AAInfo.txt
COMMON.xml
cid_map.xml
resource
1_00_sample.xml
CID
mccmnc.xml
MNS
default.xml
mns_map.xml
I didn't know if maybe one of these tells it to point at the sprint boot instead of the custom one I put in... ?
what would be cool is if at the end when it says droid the word evo falls from the top and crushes the droid word. lol just a suggestion.
**EDIT** Problem resolved.
By the way I got mine to work, I had to boot into recovery and adb mount /system in order to get it working...

This has potential to ber the best boot animation around but I don't like how it says droid. That's the only thing keeping me from switching right now.

How can I change my boot animation with out these apps??
Also how to i revert to my old boot animation, I have a backup
ps. Im rooted on the Droid X 2.2
Bump. I would like to know this as well. I wonder if it is the same as the first Droid. Just replacing the bootanimation.zip file. Can anyone second?
bump bump
I think the easiest way to do so is to flash an update.zip...
Point me in the direction of your original boot anim and I might be able to fashion up an update.zip for you.
Unless I'm missing something, the Droid X doesn't have read/write access to /system while the phone is on in Android...Is that still the case?
Here is the really cool DroidX/Incredible bootanimation. I could not install it, though.
I got permission denied.
Please do fashion an update.zip!!
And try this, maybe it works for you. It's supposed to work, but it didn't for me.
Instructions
1. Download bootanimation.zip
2. Put it on the root directory of your SD card

Maltadev, here are the two boot animations you requested. They are in the same order as you posted.

Just to be safe, do a Nandroid backup before you flash these. You could probably use ROM Manager too, but IDK.

Thanks, I managed to get it running, on eclair 2.2, and it looks HELL cool
I did this:
1. Paste bootanimation.zip to sd card.
2. Open a terminal and put in these commands
su
mount -o remount ,rw /system/
rm /system/media/bootanimation.zip -f
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /system/media
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and reboot. Worked for me
I will flush those updates for you though, just to see if they work =)
I tried renaming it to androidupdate.zip, but when I select "Install Update" in the menu it keeps looking for an "androidupdate.tar", and says "File not found".
Could you recompress it to .tar?
In rom manager or clockwork recovery?
Ahh sorry I misunderstood you - I didn't install any 3rd party programs, I just put the file in /andboot folder and when I rebooted I held the centerdpad and hit "Install Update"...
Do you know how to boot into recovery? That is what I'm talking about.
These bootanimations should be flashable via recovery. You need to manually select and update.zip like bootanimation1-signed.zip and confirm. It shouldn't throw any errors. If it works, reboot and watch your new animation.
DONE
Download the zip file to the custom screen animation you want to use to your memory card. Boot up into clockwork recovery. Go to install from sdcard then choose files from sdcard. Navigate to the file u want to use then install it. The next time you boot the phone normally it should show you your new screen animation. Atleast that's how I do it with my rooted epic 4g using clockwork recovery

Use adb push or a file explorer with root to place the bootanimation.zip (from my attachment) in the folder "/system/media" it is the animation from your first youtube link.
If it says something like cannot write, read only permission, you have to type this into a console on the phone or in the adb shell first
"mount -w -o remount /system /system\n"
The boot animation is safe, it either shows, or it doesn't.

Yes dont extract just copy it there.
Either your phone supports this and shows the new animation.
If it doesn't support it nothing happens and you see the old animation.
Nothing can really happen. The old animation is still there.
If it is supported your phone will look at that directory and say ahhh a bootanimation.zip lets use that instead of the default one...
