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.

Screaming Droid Boot Animation Flashable Download 320 x 480 flashable to system/media
Screaming Droid Boot Animation 480 x 800 This is just the boot animation, rename and install where needed.
Screaming Droid Boot Animation Flashable 480 x 800 This flashable installs to the data/local folder if this isn't where you need it use the above bootanimation.zip and place it where its needed.
Screaming Droid Boot Animation Flashable 240 x 320 This installs to the system/media folder if this wont work for you i'll post the bootnaimation.zip and you can push it or you can pull it out of the flashable and push it.
Push Instructions:
use adb and push the bootanimation.zip (which must be in the tools folder which is inside your android-sdk folder) to /system/customize/resource, /data/local, /system/media, i think you only need to push it to the first one, but try all 3 just in case
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media or /data/local or system/resource/customize
or with term app
first copy bootanimation.zip on your SDCard
run terminal
and write
#su
#mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
(now you can write to /system)
("browse" to location, where you have copied bootanimation.zip, if it is in root of your card)
#cd /sdcard

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

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.

You rock man! So just a quick glance through YouTube and I found this one. Thought it would be quite fitting for a boot animation. If you can make it with the sound, then this is def the one I want to use. If no sound, I'll find a better one. Thanks a million to the moon and back!

But if you want to use LIBERTY TOOLBOX what you only need to do is UNZIP the file and you see 2 folders goto DATA then LOCAL and you'll see bootanimation.zip just move/copy that zip file and then use liberty toolbox to finish the installation ....

Try this one, I had to modify the video a little bit and I added the sgt. peppers mp3 to it, it should work.
If you don't like this song, or want to change it, you should be able to do it easily (if you change the song, make sure you call it "sgtpeppers" even though it will be a different song, unless you change the song name in the desc.txt file).
Apply through bootstrap, do not rename to bootanimation.zip.

As someone who pioneered sound on the X, I would just like to point out that sounds work on ANY rom, as long as you do it the right way.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=F7V2IPS4
At that link is a .zip that should help out everybody.
Basically its an empty installable .zip that is installed easily through clockwork. You just need to place your audio file, and bootanimation.zip folder in the .zips system/media folder. As long as your desc.txt is correctly formatted, and bootanimation.zip is done properly then all that needs to be done is the bootanimation.zip in your phones data/local needs no be erased, or change the name to anything.zip.
i have included a file that goes into system/bin that *should* enable sound on any rom. It has worked perfectly through stock, rubix, and liberty..
Basically:
Unzip file
Place bootanimation.zip and audio.mp3 (or whatever you called it in you desc.txt) in the system/media
HHighligt the meta-inf and system folders, add them to archive, or zip them depending on which program you have.
ENSURE you set the compression to store, and the filetype to .zip. Name doesnt matter as this is just the install file.
Put on sdcard, clockworkmod, install, reboot and finally enjoy.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=356483&d=1278555629
that should be a file that allows to to check your animation on your computer, to see if u fudged up the desc.txt (which is real easy).
Just unzip the folder, open the file, bootanimationpreview1.5.exe then /file open your completed animation. If it plays, it will work on your phone, if not, the desc.txt is fudged.
Good luck all
I put it in the title, and I'll put it here again because I KNOW someone will ask (or do worse)
THIS BOOT ANIMATION WILL ONLY WORK ON THE P6210 WITH KERNELS THAT SUPPORT BOOT ANIMATIONS. THAT CURRENTLY ONLY INCLUDES MY KERNEL FOR THE P6210 WITH A VERSION GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO 20120105.
I wonder how many people will ignore that and install it on the 20120102 version (which, honestly, will amuse me quite a bit as it'll have an interesting result.)
Credit where credit is due: The actual boot animation was modified from the animation provided in UnNamed 1.x for the AT&T SGSII by gtg465x. All I did was rotate all the images, tweak the dimensions of the control file, and stick it into a recovery installable update.zip file.
How to install:
Download it. Put it on your device. Boot into recovery and install .zip file from sdcard (or internal sdcard if you put it on the microSD.)
This is completely unsupported... it's only meant as a sample and proof of concept for the boot anims.
This post has a link to a youtube showing the boot anim: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21101682&postcount=8

Rock On dude! can someone post a teaser video! thanks garyd!!
dont know if this also removes boot up sound,
in case anyone cant figure it out it should be /system/etc/poweron.wav, you can play the .wav first to verify, if so rather than delete it just rename to backuppoweron.wav
cheers!
by the way i found a way how to change the bootanimation on my galaxy mini :
1. delete the 'bootanimation' located in /system/bin (better to backup)
2. then copy and rename 'samsungani' to 'bootanimation'
3. then delete (backup) the bootani.qmg located in /system/media
4. copy the bootanimation.zip file to /system/media
and, i tried this on my gtab 7+ p6200.
but on step 3, in /system/media there are bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg. i don't know which file to delete/replace.
is the bootsamsungloop.qmg ?
can someone help me?
how come that Gtab7+ doesn't support the bootanimation ? if we got samsung bootanimation means it can support any bootanim i guess. or whatcha you think ?

ive tried this method with renaming both of these files, bootanimation finishes and lockscreen/homescreen come up but bootanimation is frozen stuck covering the top 60% of screen.
I've got this already up and going on my tab with the stock ICS boot animation. Did it late last night. Didn't use this boot animation, modified my own from my galaxy s2.
I'll post a video today on how it looks. Much better than stock.

Normally there is a power on audio file in /system/media/audio/ui but I can't see one.
Power off is in there though
EDIT found it!
/etc/1power_on.ogg
Delete that and bye bye boot up sound
Same here. its system/etc/1_poweron.ogg just renamed mine with root explorer.
This mod is only a "proof of concept" to demonstrate the changing of the boot animation using the kernel I posted in another thread. The boot sound is unrelated to the boot animation from the kernel point of view. Normally, the boot animation and/or sound would be changed by firmware developers.

Because Samsung insists on using their own wacky bootanimation binary and format.
So you need to either:
1) Replace the binary (manual effort, no "fallback" if no bootanim is present)
2) Add a script to the kernel initramfs that uses "standard" bootanim support if you have one present, and Samsung's as a fallback.

Step 1 :
Place the files "samsungani" and "bootanimation" in /system/bin
Make sure these files have execute permission (-rwxr-xr-x)
Step 2 :
Place "sanim.zip" in /system/media
This file contains the boot animation. You can use bootanimation.zip file from other threads but they should be renamed to sanim.zip to work properly.
ex thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1053250
Step 3 :
Remove "bootsamsung.qmg" and "bootsamsungloop.qmg" from /system/media
As a standard good practice, you can keep a backup of these files somewhere on your sdcard/pc.
Step 4 :
Reboot and enjoy !

That's when you don't copy the right sanim.zip to your system/media/ folder.
First of all when you download the custom "bootanimationfile".zip it's not enough just to rename it! you must extract the package, find bootanimation.zip (not sure about location inside .zip but i guess it is /data/local or /system/data/local.) THIS file must be renamed to sanim.zip and copied to your /system/media. IT must work if you followed other steps above. I'm pretty sure it works on every FW!
In my phone there is no bootanimation.zip . There are some bootanimation.omg files. I googled them up an found that they r samsung's propitory format.

Dude...read tutorial and that what I wrote one more time. Nobody said you have bootanimation.zip on your phone. Guide works like a charm!
"find bootanimation.zip (not sure about location inside .zip but i guess it is /data/local or /system/data/local."
Told by you
Then you should cite the whole sentence
" First of all when you download the custom "bootanimationfile".zip it's not enough just to rename it! you must extract the package, find bootanimation.zip (not sure about location inside .zip but i guess it is /data/local or /system/data/local.) "
I was talking about one of the custom boot animations package ( that can be found e.g. here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1053250 ) even localization I mentioned concerns the .zip file not the system folder of your device.
Of course we don't have bootanimation.zip in our stock, we have sanim.zip instead. Which is written in OP's tutorial above.

LOL Kochan - this guy ain't getting it.... maybe he should just download 'ROM Toolbox' and change the boot anim's from there.....much simpler for the newbies
No offence meant at all, sometimes it's just easier to have a program do these things for you ^.^
Change boot animation ardatdat 1.6
Can't figure it out, it doesnt work - no way. Followed the Tutorial exactly and tried different things. Finally i tried the sanim.zip from the first post in this thread. Black bootscreen but with the crappy Samsung sound
Firmware is stock XWKJ4, with ardatdat kernel 1.6
Could the kernel be the problem??
Of course it works. I've used XWLA4 as well. Worked like a charm. It has nothing to do with kernel.
1) Have you downloaded packages, extracted (custom booting.zip )and replaced stock "samsungani" and "bootanimation" (in /system/bin) with those u got from package?
2)Have you removed "bootsamsung.qmg" and "bootsamsungloop.qmg" from /system/media?
3) Have you found a proper bootanimation.zip, renamed it to sanim.zip an placed in /system/media?
If you accomplished all steps above...your bootanimation.zip (sanim.zip) must be corrupted. Remember it's NOT a flashable package.! If you found somewhere a flashable version (it works only on AOSP/AOKP/CM roms) it must be extracted and then the right file must be copied to /system/media.
And one more thing. Bootanimation has nothing to do with bootsound. Wanna change bootsound, go to /system/etc and replace PowerOn.wav (this stands for bootsound), 1_Power_on.ogg (if you ignore this you won't be able to switch bootsound on/of together with setting you phone profile silent/normal) with your preferred ones.
You have to remove samsungani , then place bootanimation.zip
This was sent from a Galaxy Ace. Problem?
@m.kochan10
1. yes
2. yes, but there is also a file called "odeanim.qmg". Do you know what this is?
3. after fiddling around with my own files did`nt work i finally downloaded the sanim.zip from the first post here. I did not touch it and put it to system/media. No success! Of course my own animation also did not work. Tried to generate the animation with this Boot Animation Creator from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1234611. No success!
So there is no bootscreen now, i only see the Samsung GalaxyR letters then straight to homescreen. Thanks for the tip with the bootsound. Thats going to be the next i try. But first i need to change the animation.
Few questions:
a. does it matter if i take jpeg or png?
b. the pics of the animation need to have the resolution of my screen, right? 480x800
c. or do smaller pics just show up in the middle of the screen?
Thanks 4 helping!
2. Leave odeanim.qmg alone It won't help you by any means.
3. I attached a working sanim.zip just push it with root explorer to /system/media and reboot. We'll see if it work.
I'm sorry I cannot help you with your questions about creating bootanimation files. It's not my field (yet )
I give up!
-tried your sanim.zip - nothing.
-downloaded Custom Booting.zip again, unpacked it this time with Winrar instead of 7zip and copied them to system/bin (checked permissions-ok) - nothing.
There are not so many chances to f**ck this up but still it does`nt work.
Running out of ideas what to try out anyway.
So i just wait and hope for ICS, CM7, CM9 or whatsoever and give it another try then.
Where is the thread where i can ask for ETA of these roms?
(just joking...)
Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately I don't own the device so I cannot verify what goes wrong.
In worst case, since you've got nothing to lose, you may try to flash (sometimes you will have to flash several times - i don't know why, but I remember that sometimes I had to do it 8 times in a row before I managed to change a boot animation, you may even try wipe cache/dalvik cache) these zips:
a) Honeycomb - bumblebee 3D - Boot animation (I cannot promise it will work with first flash, but try few more times, it should work)

c) Stock One (If you totally give up and wish to revert to stock; same here)

DO NOT EXTRACT: THEY ARE FLASHABLE via CWM!
Since Stock One was no option at all to me: Flashed the Honeycomb - bumblebee 3D once with with wiping cache and dalvik - works perfekt! Gonna try to change it to my own animation soon.
cheers man...

Wanted to go to bed after last post but could`nt wait to try out. So i put my own sanim.zip instead of the one from Bumblebee 3D and IT WORKS!!!
GReat to hear that!
Here is the boot animation and also the theme to the show.
Push the bootanimation.zip to system/media. Rename the existing file to bootanimation.zipold.
If you want the sound push the wav file to ect and rename existing file to PowerOn.wavold. I have only tried replacing existing files not sure if will work if you have no boot sound.

Thanks to TXLunchbox for the bootanimation

Sorry for the delay on the links. Can't get the files loaded as attachments but the dropbox links are up and working!
Again use at your own risk and so far have only tested on ROM that had existing startup sound.
Glad to see you got it up nd running

Good work man!
Tip: renaming the files to bootanimation.zipold should be bootanimation.zip.old, same with the poweron.wav file. Or you could rename it to .bak, that is how some of the various apps do it so the filesystem thinks it is a backup file. I think sdmaid will remove .old files when using it that is why I suggest using the .bak extension.

thanks. Right now I'm starting out at android.com figuring out the emulator and what not. Also looking for threads to show me how to take the boot animation and package it up for flash.

Couple of things...
First, while I do appreciate the thanks, I was under the assumption you were going to add this to a full ROM you were working on and not just post it in another forum. If that was the case you could have just linked to my post that I did for this. The reason I never posted it in any other phone forums is that the resolution is set specifically for the Galaxy S Vibrant, therefore may have not looked as good on other devices.
Second, for the sound to work, it all depends on your kernel. I never did one for mine cause the majority of people that use the device I designed the bootanimation.zip for had VooDoo kernels and those do not support boot sound.
Third, if you're wanting to make it flashable you're going to have to learn the code for the recovery system you are using for the phone. I used to have a flashable version of mine, but when codes changed for CWM Recovery, I just figured it was easier to tell people where to push the file to.
Again, I do appreciate the thanks, but next time be a little clearer on what you're doing with someone else's work before posting it as your own.
Thank you
