Does anybody have a working copy of an all red Nexus One boot animation. I thought I saw one online somewhere a while ago but I since can't find it. The closest thing I found was this.

But for some reason after I pushed it to /system/media there was only a black screen for a boot animation.
push it to /data/local
my "bootanimation.zip" is located in system/media
Yeah my animation is in /system/media as well. Ok I was able to successfully change to red rage but it didn't look good on the X's huge screen.

I am trying to change the boot animation on my X. I have pushed bootanimation.zip to both /data/local and /system/media using Terminal Emulator, adb push, and root explorer. All I'm getting is a black screen after the M logo. I was able to successfully change it to the red rage boot animation by pushing it to /system/media but the sizing was off and it didn't looks so good. But I have tried 2 different BA's and get the black screen. Do I need to modify something to make it compatible with the X? Below are the 2 I was trying to push.

Am I the first one trying to make a boot animation for the X?

No. There's a thread @ AndroidForums about custom boot animations and working ones. Since my account is apparently "new", I'm unable to link to the thread. If you go to the Motorola Droid X forums, then to the "All things Root" thread, you'll see one started entitled "Custom Boot - Blue X takeover for root users."
Thanks but that guy is just skinning the original BA. I'm trying to put a completely different one one. I'll do some experimenting today while sitting at work I guess...
i know when making livewallpapers and what not the .png has to be certain dimensions and 24bit .
i would right click the png check properties and see if it says 32 if it does i believe the png cant be processed and will give a black screen.
only other thing i can think of is the desc.txt file which tells the phone how fast or w/e to show the pics. that i know little about.
edit: i believe though 8bit is ok for png, and it might be different i would check the properties of the original to see

this maybe stupid, but are you renaming them to bootanimation? they HAVE to be named that when you place them in the media folder in order for them to work!!
C'mon man, give me SOME credit...
HA GOT IT! When re-inserting (hehe) the files back into the bootanimation.zip, or when making a new zip, you need to set the compression to STORE. Then just drop it in /data/local with root explorer and you are good to go!
I cannot for the life of me get custom boot animations to work. I'm rooted. using root explorer i've used every tutorial on the internet! i'm on an Motorola Milestone running GOT 2.2 rom.
I put the "bootanimation.zip" on my SD card, i then move it to system/BIN and replace my original boot animation. Reboot the phone and nothing. just about 10 seconds or so of the Motorola "M" logo. I've tried everything. putting the files in there unzipped. The only thing that looks a bit odd to me is that the original "bootanimation" file's icon is just a plain white icon. but when ever i move the new bootanimation file over it shows up as a zip file. this has to have something to do with it? i also screwed around with the permissions so that the new bootanimations permissions matched the old one. anyone have any idea what i'm doing wrong here?
Hey everyone, I just put the Nexus S/Nexus One boot animation on my G2X and I must say it looks really nice, and it also goes well with the phone because of the 'X' in G2X. To apply it you need to be rooted. Simply put the zip file on your SDcard, rename the file to 'bootanimation.zip' (without quotes), and copy it to /system/media/ using root explorer or ADB. I'll attach the boot animation below.
NOTE: You will have to delete the old boot animation in /system/media/. I backed mine up by renaming it to bootanimation.zip.bak.
Just tried it and works, except this is the old school "Android." Logo. I thought this would be the nice Nexus X logo.

make sure you set the permissions correctly.
What permissions??
I used this, and it works perfectly.

Only thing thats a bit annoying is that I still have the Tmobile shutdown animation which sucks!
here is the first of several TOOL boot animations, this first one is the tool logo, in blue. rename bootanimation.zip, place in data/local using root explorer.

here is the second tool bootanimation, also a logo that changes colors and ends by whiting out. enjoy.

rename bootanimation.zip, place in data/local.
THIRD one now, this is the spinning tool guy from salival, my favorite so far...
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11997836/salival.zip
same directions as above.
and four, this time tool animation of the lateralus sectioned man being split in two by his third eye. heh.

Hello there XDA, I have gotten myself into a pretty deep hole here. I was dicking around with some boot animations, all is fine and dandy until I screwed this one up. Somehow I managed to make it show a 100% black screen after boot. Yep. Here is what I did: I am runnng paranoid android, so I went nto system/media and changed the original bootanimation.zip to bootanimationbak.zip, and put a new one in and gave it RW- R-- RW- permissions. Now when I boot up, I get the GS3 splash with white text, but everything else is black from then on. The buttons flash on then off, and I even get the CRT animation if I cycle the power, but the screen is all black. I can even feel the login stuff vibrating, but I cannot get past my lockscreen (Its a pin, crap). I do not have a backup (that'll teach me!) is there any way to fix this without reinstalling my rom? Would a flashable bootanimation.zip do the trick?
SOLVED! And here's how: I downloaded Aroma File Manager 1.80 to my sd card, loaded it into CWM revocery, mounted my storage, ran the zip, deleted the messed up animaion and restored the good one and it works now.
Good for future reference rename the bootanimation to bootanimation. Zip. Bak
