Custom boot animation

Video of custom boot animation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CHowIw_g3Q
How-To:
Download custom bootanimation and images for it - first and second
Backuping old bootanimation:
adb pull /system/bin/bootanimation bootanimation_backup
adb remount
Installing new bootanimation:
adb push bootanimation /system/bin/bootanimation
adb shell
cd /system/bin
chmod 777 bootanimation
Uploading boot images:
adb push boot-logo-1.png /system/media/boot-logo-1.png
adb push boot-logo-2.png /system/media/boot-logo-2.png
Improvements:
You may customize this bootanimation by changing this images, but they must have the same size and it must be equal to (2^n) x (2^n), so they must be also square. The background is white.

This thread is very old, any 2.X rom can use animated boot screens regardless of phone

Replace font in HTC 3.05.401.3 ROM

I already update it via fastboot (I got Amon recovery 1.5.2H).
But I need to change the font DroidSan to get correct font display.
Can anybody help me to solve it?
Thanks

so you are trying to restore the original fonts? did you back them up? if not, google droidsans.ttf and droidsans-bold.ttf and download them. or get them from a nandroid somewhere... they shouldn't be hard to find.
then, in cmd/terminal go to the folder they are in and (assuming you have all your fastboot/adb paths setup) and type the following:
fastboot push droidsans.ttf system/fonts/DroidSans.ttf
fastboot push droidsans-bold.ttf system/fonts/DroidSans-Bold.ttf
If you are just playing around with new fonts i suggest you grab the old ones first so you can easily revert:
go to a safe backup location and type:
fastboot pull system/fonts/DroidSans.ttf ./
fastboot pull system/fonts/DroidSans-Bold.ttf ./

Thank but there is no command fastboot push.
I run it and fail.
Also, I could not use adb remount because no permision.

that's weird - do any adb/fastboot commands work?
adb devices
adb shell
fastboot devices
do any of them work?
are you on a win xp/7, linux or osx machine?

I am on XP but when use adb shell it is ok
but use adb remout so have no permission.

You're using the ROM from this RUU right?
AFAIK, It's not rooted yet so those commands will not work.
Just watch that thread and wait for someone to post a rooted ROM.
If you can't wait, Cursor has put together an update to his Sense ROM.

Yes.
I need the rooted ROM and I don't know how to root the ROM

Previous post is wrong...
You must use:
adb push local remote
like...
adb push droidsans.ttf /system/fonts/DroidSans.ttf
adb push droidsans-bold.ttf /system/fonts/DroidSans-Bold.ttf

If you've recieved - "read-only", so you can remount /system
adb remount

put HtcLockScreen.apk on your c:\ drive
plug your phone into your pc and:
Code:
adb remount
adb push c:\HtcLockScreen.apk /system/app
adb reboot

where do i get HtcLockScreen.apk ?

do you still have the update.zip that you downloaded to flash your rom?
if so, open it and look in system/app. it is located there.

If you've downloaded any roms there will be one inside it.
Actually NVM, here you go

Almost any custom rom has it, including the one you flashed. I also attached it below if you need it.

[How 2] Custom Bootanimation

You will need to download the android-sdk located www.android.com
I do not take credit for any of this at all, I discovered this on the www.androidforums.com This may help a few of you.
This tutorial should help you get your own custom bootanimation on your Droid incredible. Here is a "PREVIEW" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9erbdb7sOo&feature=player_embedded
Click to expand...

1st)Go to http://www.flexjunk.com/2010/05/01/installing-htc-incredible-android-sd-drivers/ This will help you setup your Droid Incredible to be recognized on your computer. After do this step it will tell you to reboot your computer.
(If your droid is is already setup to be recognized skip step 1)
2nd)Run terminal or (command prompt), point it to your (<sdk>directory)
3rd)With you Droid Incredible-
: go to settings, applications, development, *(Check) USB Debugging*
: plug in your Incredible to the usb, select "disk drive" option
: inside terminal (or command prompt) run
Code:
adb devices
if it doesn't not recognize your device then you did something wrong.
(tips- reboot computer, make sure adb debugging is checked, reboot phone)
4th)Download any custom bootanimation.zip you want and place it inside your 'tools folder' located in your SDK
(you can find many custom bootanimations inside many custom roms <located inside /system/media>)
5th)Now type
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
: If you also want audio to play with your boot animation find the mp3 audio file you want and type this
Code:
adb push android_audio.mp3 /data/local
: If the command worked, you should see a prompt with "bootanimation.zip filesize 4,470 kB" or some file size (yours will be different)
6th)Now type
Code:
adb shell reboot
Please Note: not any audio or bootanimation.zip will work-no one is responsible for your actions. Hope this helps enjoy!!!
*ID*

If I missed any steps please post your problems and we will try our best to help you.

Thanks for this. Will update on how well it works when i finish making my animation.

not sure what im doing wrong i have androidsdk saved as c:androidsdk. but when i run cmd i get this
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]

C:\Users\Chris>androidsdk

This is very cool ID, I was j/w if you had any tutorial/example boot animations... I will check out the ones that come with the SDK, that may be enough to learn from (I'm very interested in creating my own, not just using other people's work without understanding it) for the Incredible. If there is a tutorial in the SDK, feel free to say "RTFM", lol, my phone is 15 miles away but I won't be able to get it until next week =/, but I want to be prepped to go at it before then.

thanks for this, been wanting to put the nexus boot animation on my phone for awile now

I cannot get any mp3 to sound during boot up. Anyone have any ideas. I figured it was because of the size of the mp3 but I even tried a small one and still no luck.

More than likely you'll need an ogg file for sound. I'm about to change mine so I'll let you know.

android_audio.mp3 works as the file name

your missing a very important command
cd foldername/tools then hit enter (make sure that your files "bootanimation.zip" and "android_audio.mp3" are in the tools folder or this won't work it will you give you an error)
then type
adb devices
it will list whats connected
then type
adb push bootanimation.zip data/local
hit enter
adb push android_audio.mp3 data/local
hit enter
your done!
restart your phone and enjoy your new boot screen
here's a how to video of how i figured mine out
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIBk1-NB_ZM&feature=player_embedded
and here's my result! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SnsXKFvGQs i had some help with the audio syncing, Santod from PPC helped with that part since it was off by a few seconds
Note: this is NOT my boot animation, it was made by a member on Phandroid forums, i'm sharing the files i used to get my result nothing more.
DO NOT unzip the bootanimation.zip to put onto your phone
UNZIP the android_audio.zip to the tools folder where you need to have both files stored to do the file push to your phone
Edit: Just to clear up some confusion, make sure the following files are in your Tools folder for the SDK
bootanimation.zip
android_audio.mp3 (be sure to unzip the zip file to the same directory as the bootanimation.zip file or this will not transfer)

haha, that's awesome m8. Now I am really inspired to create my own Bootanimation from scratch, but first I am going to work on something a little easier (working on 2 different live wallpapers atm... might put them up on the marketplace if they turn out as good as I envision them in my head... anything I make for the Android platform will of course be free to XDA Senior Members/Moderators/etc).

sorry for the noob question but how do i remove the boot sound after I installed it via ADB in the instructions? i really dislike the one i put on...
thanks for any help

you can just remove it from the the directory, rm "file name" But i am still not able to get my sound to work during boot up. Any one have this problem

Dincodee..
Make sure you unzip the audio file and drop only the .mp3 into your sdk tools folder then push the mp3. Worked for me this way.
parkson...
I believe you can just push another mp3 named the same and it will write over the existing. If I'm wrong someone correct me pls.

is there any way to do this via terminal emulator or astro on the phone itself? ADB does not work for me

BootAni Loaded - Now What?
Hi there - so I get the whole process - piece of cake. However, Where does this data now reside on the phone? Using AndExplorer to view the directory structure, but can't seem to locate where the zip file contents are pushed to, or the *.mp3 file is residing. What if I'd like to revert to the old (and boring) Verizon Wireless boot ani?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Also, kudos to all who posted this.

Great!
If you're rooted please make a nandroid backup, so if you find yourself in a jam you can just restore...I hate to see tears, when no tears are needed. ;^}
