[BOOT ANIMATION] -- LCARS Custom Boot Animation by Jeremy Herrmann

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)

adb reboot
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

Not sure why you'd want to....
But... if you do... just push these files the same way and you'll have the sprint 4g back

Nice!
I'm more of a TOS fan but this looks too nice for me to be picky.

I'm really new to Android. Is there a way to do this on the Mac? Thanks.

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?

[Boot Animation] Decepticon

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.

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.

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.

Droid X Boot Animation (w/ DROID sound)

Hey guys. I know this is about and around, but we got the sound working on boot (the "DROID" noise). So here's how you do it:
1. download both files below
2. UNZIP the "android_audio.zip" file, put the audio file in your sdk/tools folder
3. leave the "bootanimation.zip" file zipped, put in your sdk/tools folder
4. go into adb and push both files as follows:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
adb push android_audio.mp3 /data/local
adb reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This should work; if anyone has problems let me know.
ENJOY!
***UPDATE***
If you're still having issues with the sound not working, first make sure that you are unzipping the "android_audio" file...then pushing the .mp3 contained within the zip file.
Second, if it still doesn't work, try this in adb:
cd data
cd local
rm android_audio.mp3
rm bootanimation.zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
then repush the two files!

works like a charm!!

is this supposed to replace the vzw animation? i followed and i dont see anything different. under my data folder in astro nothign is there just data dir and thats it no local

Worked like a charm for me... thanks...

both files successfully push. the animation works but no audio plays. any suggestions?

very nice love it

nice work, thank you

Thanks looks really good.
Sent from my Droid Incredible

parkson, rinse, wash repeat, your doing something wrong, do it from inside adb on computer

When I do:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
adb push android_audio.mp3 /data/local
I get:
/sbin/sh: adb: not found
Now what?
*EDIT*
I figured it out. Was trying to do this in Clockwork Mod recovery. Had to change to disk drive mode while the phone is running.

do we just need to delete these files to go back?

Droid Incredible
Will this sound work on the DINC? I have the boot animation but have not installed the sound yet.

yup it works thanks.

I keep getting adb: not found
EDIT:
Fixed it from irc, thanks guys.
Just did
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
without the adb shell

i kept getting permission denied doing it through adb, but doing it in root explorer worked perfect, audio and boot animation are great

Does any one have the sound working?

will this work on the incredible?

Changing the bootanimation!

Ok here's one to all the ppl that didnt manage to get it to work like me (HTC desire). My phone is only rooted with revoked, no custom roms etc.
Ive read a lot of forums and i've seen a lot of people that didnt manage to get it to work. After spending nights trying to get it to work is was getting frustrated. All i read was about pushing the file to /system/media or /system/data, but after spending some time looking through all the folders with root explorer i found the actual default bootanimation.zip file.
IT WAS LISTED UNDER /system/customize/resource
so i rebooted my phone in recovery mode:
- mounts and storage
- mount /system
- in cmd: adb shell rm /system/customize/recource/bootanimation.zip
- in cmd: adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
note: for this exact command to work u need to have the bootanimation.zip in your androidsdk/tools folder. If not u need to change the push command to adb push <the location here(i.e. d:\downloads\bootanimations\bootanimation.zip)> /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
(this didnt work if i had the file on the c drive of my pc and i would get an error, unless it was in the c:\androidsdk\tools folder, it would work on a 2nd partition, ext storage or whatever)
Only 1 thing... in that same file there prolly still is an audio file, cous when i boot i get my customized bootanimation, but still the standard boot sound. I will be looking in to this now.
If ppl could confirm this works for them aswell i would be happy
EDIT: the bootmusic is listed in the same folder as the bootanimation. It's named android_audio, so you probably wanna remove this aswell (using the command adb shell rm /system/customize/resource/android_music.mp3). Im not sure if you can change this, and since i didnt backup the default bootanimation.zip im dont know if there was someting diffirent about is that would make the music play. I would appreciate if someone could adb pull the original files for me and post em

another note, if you'r making your own bootanimation.zip's make sure compression is set to 0 (store or save)
on my dutch version of winrar its listed under 'ìnpakmethode' -> 'opslaan'

I'd really like to help you out and pull the plain bootanimation (there's no sound actually) from the (custom) rom I'm using but I just can't (see screenshot). If you give me some guidance I can do that, but I do wanna wipe my current one! Please note I recently got S-Off and I'm in Recovery with /system mounted (it says "click to unmount" so it should be good, shouldn't it? Anyway I tried the other way and it's the same... )

well yours might be in the /system/media or /data/local folder. You can always use a file explorer on the phone to find out where yours is located or use adb shell ls /system and check folders if it actually is there.
i r still a noob with all this so i got no clue what s-off is

Ok I got to find and replace the bootanimation.zip file (the only one I could fine on the phone, anyyway) with different ones I got in the forums (Desire bios-like and Star Wars Droid) but I get no animation at all... I mean, I reboot and get the initial still image and the old nexus animation after that is gone, black screen instead, and then Android loads. Any thought maybe? And I'd really like to know how to completely wipe Google Maps/Brut from my phone (don't know the actual files, I got Gmail.apk and I succeeded but the jar's I found for maps weren't enough, I suppose, as I can't install the updated version from the Market, just like I had with Gmail before removing the apk and I solved doing that).

So your still getting the standard animation? Did you use the adb command with the phone in recovery mode to delete and push the new one in?

Actually I'm getting black screen, no animation... only the first still image (green HTC on white background, you know). And yes, I pulled the original, rm the old one and pushed the new one, in Recovery, with /system mounted.

did u try to make ur own and failed at compressing the .zip ? Or did u just download a standard one off the internet?
Also did u make sure the file u pushed actually is there, in the right folder?

Completely off-topic but how do you like the micro cell? I was thinking about getting one.

i like it. works like it is supposed to. i live in the one spot of the city that gets no coverage at all and it gives me signal. they only down side is that if you are streaming a video or downloading files it will get very choppy (which is understandable). but other than that it is awesome.

If this sounds like a noob...well it actually is...but what is a micro cell and is it for the A2..?

Basically it is a mini cell tower in your home that uses your internet. So if like me you get no reception at home it will give you full reception.

How did you replace them? Root Explorer or ADB? Because if you did it with root Explorer, it would have automatically rebooted when you replaced the Framework.apk, and then continue to bootloop after that. If you did use root explorer, the issue is a result of incorrect permissions being set on the framework apk.
Assuming your phone is rooted, you can chance the permissions to the framework.apk, or push the original back to the phone. I dont know the exact commands to put into the terminal, but hopefully someone here could type those out and list them?
Hope it helps, and good luck!, because what just happened was, your phone was soft-bricked, and until an sbf is released that you could flash, this would be the only plausible way to fix it.
DO NOT DO A FACTORY RESET/DATA WIPE THROUGH THE STOCK RECOVERY!
It will get rid of your root permissions, and then there's no hope until an sbf is released .

Your going to have to use adb for this!
1. download the system dump over at the development section for atrix 2
2. you will need 2 file from the dump framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk
3. put those 2 files on the root of ur sdcard
4. load adb and at the prompt type this
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cat /sdcard/SystemUI.apk > /system/app/SystemUI.apk
chmod 755 /system/app/SystemUI.apk
now type this for framework
cat /sdcard/framework-res.apk > /system/framework/framework-res.apk
chmod 755 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
Next type
reboot
That should fix it ......
let me know how it works for ya
