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

And that's pretty much it.

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.

How can I do this through Terminal Emulator? My device won't remount - ADB has been a pain in the ass for me since FROYO. Can you make this as a simple update.zip like I've seen others do?
UPDATE
Here's the fix for those who can't "adb remount" their device:
adb shell mount data
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/
adb reboot
Worked like a charm

Heh, not sure what you did. If you look in the zip the PNG images do not have anything like that . Perhaps, you pushed a different file?

Although, I didn't figure out how to flash it via Terminal.
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).

Easier than terminal its root explorer. Copy, note permissions pre paste and correct permissions.... All set!
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.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
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.
Found this

Hey guys, I was reading the Incredible custom boot screen and thought I mess around with Evo and I found this.
There are 2 files that compose of the animation.
1. bootanimation.zip (/system/customize/resource)
2. SPC_animation_final.mp3 (/system/customize/resource)
These are played with you boot up the phone with Sprint 4g animation and its sound.
Now I went and look at the bootanimation.zip and see what it is, and it turns out within the zip archive contains a desc.txt that tells the firmware what to read and at point to display what...etc. There's also a folder named "android" which contains all the pictures and each of them represent 1 frame of the animation (I think). I also looked at the property of the images and they are 480x800 dimension and depth of it is 8bit (update: it can be a 24bit too).
So to look at the end animation, simply go to the last picture in the android folder.
So if we can create some animations to same specs and slice it into frames like that then we are good to go.
I included sample files from Incredible.
UPDATE: CONFIRMED that it works...what I did
I went to /system/media and saw there was a default HTC animation will the 2 files and did a adb pull
1. bootanimation.zip
2. android_audio.mp3 - I renamed this to SPC_animation_final.mp3
I then reboot into recovery and do an adb shell, mount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system, then exit out of the shell, now I'm back in windows command prompt. Typed "adb push c:\bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource/" and "adb push c:\SPC_final_animation.mp3 /system/customize/resource". Now do adb reboot and the HTC - quite brilliant showed up.
UPDATE 2: I found an Android Bios like boot from the net thought I post. Tested on my EVO and worked great. It's like a PC bios boot with Droid in matrix like style, pretty cool.
UPDATE 3: Added the Nexus One boot, it's a little stretched but looks cool nonetheless.
UPDATE 4: Instructions on how to mount and copy files.
1. Having phone fully powered up and plug it into the USB.
2. you should already have ADB installed and working. If so, then to verify your device is connected, do "adb devices" in a command prompt. You should see like "List of attached devices" and right underneath it, you'll se HTCxxxxx listed.
3. If step 2 is good, then do "adb reboot recovery". This will reboot your phone into recovery mode.
4. You will see a red triangle with an exclamation mark, this is when phone is now ready in recovery mode. To verify, go back to command prompt and type "adb devices" and you should see the same thing as in step 2 only difference is it'll say "recovery" next to the device name.
5. Once that is good, go into your evo-recovery folder and run the recovery-XYZ, where XYS is the os type. So for windows you would right-click on the "recovery-windows.bat" and select run as administrator (if you are running in Vista/7).
5. If step 5 runs will you'll see a series of line output, and final line should be "No hup" or something like that. Now look over to your phone, you should see a menu. Do NOT touch anything on the phone.
6. Open up a new command prompt, cd into the android sdk/tools folder, and issue "adb shell". You will drop into your phone shell now and all you will see is "#" sign.
7. Type "mount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system", you should now see the '#" again.
8. Type "exit", and now you are back into your command prompt like "C:\...>".
9. Type "adb push my_new_animation.zip /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip" {ENTER}. You'll see that your file will be uploaded.
10. To verify, type "adb shell" and you should be back into your phone shell with "#"
11. Type "ls /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip" and you should see the "bootanimation.zip" listed.
12. Now just reboot the phone by typing "reboot" at the "#" prompt.
EDIT 5: Added Droid X animation
Preview here http://www.droid-life.com/2010/06/24/download-droid-x-boot-animation/
EDiT 6: To quickly test the boot animation on your phone do this:
1. adb push the file to /data/local/
2. at the command prompt on your computer with the phone connected, type:
adb shell bootanimation
Now watch your phone for the animation, and hit Ctrl+C on your PC to cancel out.
EDIT 7: Added boot from latest 83 build froyo. This is a rip from EvoX V9 so all credits are due to the builder of that ROM.

... yeah ... I guess ... I just push my files to where they need to go ... always been easier for me ... building update.zip never worked when I made them...
Ok you got me going now... ill boot up my PhotoShop... see you in a bit... png's or try gif like we did on heros?
ill just make a gif... and try that... 2.1 hero is close enough to 2.1 evo... i hope...
vboyz103 can you hit me back on gtalk? wrx4me.mp i got some files to send to test out a custom boot... ?
I'm trying my Nexus one, and an MP3 file I got laying around.. I'll update when done.
BTW I notice both my nexus and the EVO have the files in /system/media/
The nexus does not have a /system/customize folder.
The OP is right that the /system/media file is where the stock stuff is. Sprint has it set to look in the /system/customize/resources folder.
It seems to me that the SPC_animation_final.mp3 needs to be specific in size or bitrate. the stock one is 64kbps.
****Update****
My nexus one boot animation worked. It is one pulled from a cyanogenmod unit. It is a 512 x 256 according to the desc.txt.
***Update****
I can not get the sound to play now. I had put in a mp3 and then cut it down to 5 sec and 64kbps just like the stock but it still would not play. Now I have pushed the original back in and it too doesn't work.
If you just delete the two files in /system/customize/resource will it fallback to the default ones in /system/media without having to copy them over? If I wasn't headed to work in a few minutes I'd check it out myself.

theory sounds good to me. either revert to the files in /system/media, where a bootanimation.zip does exist, or /data/local i think is the other default bootanimation.zip location?

Yes you are right! I renamed the bootanimation.zip and it defaulted to the one in /system/media. The same with the audio.
I noticed the same thing with HtcLockscreen.apk in the stuff to remove section. If you remove it it defaults to the standard android one. but it doesn't display right.
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.

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?
Hope this isn't against protocol. I posted this in the "HOWTO" thread, but in the event there are people that don't venture into that area...I think it looks pretty nice and it's customized for the Evo.

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.
I love this nice job!
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.

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...
My favorite is the decepticon one but it is too small and I couldnt get it to work after resizing the png's and modifying the text...

Never mind, i just deleted the EYE folder and edited the .txt, but now i have one question,where is the original botanimation.zip located? i push yours to /system/customize/resource using root explorer (since i hate adb shell) and it didn't ask for overwrite so...it wasn't there.
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.

I been trying to change my boot animation and I cant seem to get it right
I have downloaded "Boot Animation Changer LITE" and tried to change it. Now i have a different Droid boot animation that I do not want.
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
3. Open the terminal app and enter:

Maltadev, here are the two boot animations you requested. They are in the same order as you posted.
Tell me if it works for ya.
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...
