[BOOT ANIMATION]The Screaming Droid! Now With Sound!!! (Updated 3/13/11)

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)

(you can check if it is there)
#ls
(now just copy it)
#cp bootanimation.zip /system/media
(you can exit, and reboot, new animation should work, enjoy)

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.

[boot animation] WORKING dancedroid boot anim...Flashable zips added!

This is the Droid dance boot animation that I customized a little to work good with my evo. I made it have twice as many frames and run twice as fast. It looks great and has no lag. Just rename it to bootanimation.zip and use Root Explorer to replace your original in /system/customize/resource and it should run when u reboot. If you want a sound clip to go with it use ringdroid app to make a 20 second .mp3 clip for the Droid to dance to and rename it to SPC_animation_final.mp3 and put it in the same folder. Good luck and enjoy.http://db.tt/tdsEB50
I take no credit for this other than moving some .jpgs around and renaming them and redoing the folder setup to make it work correctly. I plan to refine this alittle more and remove the black bars. Also if anyone would like to help me make a flashable zip out of this PM me and I would really appreciate it. I will upload this to mediafire when I get home from work because dropbox limits downloads. Thanks and please don't think I am trying to rip off anyone's work. It just didn't work for me off the bat so I refined it and figured I would share.
EDIT: I have a redone it to a fullscreen version and it looks much better and still runs just as good. Here is the link...bootanimation.zip
EDIT 2# I have also added 2 flashable zips for the boot animation:
1. Flashable zip for Roms that have the bootanimation.zip in \system\customize\resource (such as Baked Snack, Stock) use RingDroid.apk to cut a 20sec music clip and rename it SPC_animation_final.mp3 and put in the same folder. Here is the link.
2. Flashable zip for Roms that have the bootanimation.zip in \system\media (such as Caulklin's EVio 2) use RingDroid.apk to cut a 20sec music clip and rename it to android_audio.mp3 and put it in the same folder. Here is the link.
These 2 .ZIPS are identical other than where they place the boot animation because some roms put them in different folders. I have not tested the .ZIP for the customize folder yet because I am currently running Caulklin's amazing EVio 2 1.5 rom. Please post your results with these files and also I would appreciate it if you would rate the quality. Thanks and Good luck!

Fullscreen version now in OP.

Thanks, Ill try this out later. For Cyanogen users, the .zip also must be placed in /system/media in case anyone is wondering.
Does the audio clip have to be 20 seconds for it to work?

any chance of making it with the background being black?

sometimes it seems like it speeds through the animation.. usually it stops on him facing away (he doesn't dance until the phone has booted).. any thoughts?

if you are asking if the animation will work if the audio is not 20 seconds exactly, then yes.. mine works without audio

Where does ringdroid send the file once I save it? Cant find it anywhere.

Flashed the .zip for media on Cyanogen. Didnt work.

Tried both. Didn't work.

flashable zip 1 works on myns warm rls3. thank you

Going back to previous version with black bars. This version is too short and stops about 10-15 seconds before my phone boots up.
Ian B

Could you make it run about 10 seconds longer? Love the fullscreen otherwise.

Sorry for the problems guys, I don't use Cyanogen so I'm not sure what the problem is I would be very thankful if someone with some knowledge on making flashable zips could edit this to work on CM, I would definitely add it to the OP.
Also, I guess our phones run alittle different because the speed and timing for the bootanimation is perfect on my phone with every rom I have put it on. I will work on these as soon as I get a weekend (could possibly be after thanksgiving, sorry have been really busy at work lately). I will try slowing it down just alittle and also add some more frames and try to figure out how to make it loop correctly so it won't just freeze until the phone boots.
Sorry again for the problems, this is my first bootanimation so I'm still learning. I actually just wanted to get this working on my phone and decided to share it. I will update the OP as soon as I have the time to refine this further.

ty
thanks man!
now trying to think of a song!

o yes! thanks man!
Used the zip file and added a song.. imma add it to my post. i will give you credit!

Great Job, will try this.....

Neat!
Works great on Myn's 2.2. I picked "I Don't Feel Like Dancing" from Scissor Sisters for the boot audio. Pretty funny. I have attached the edited version I am using. It might run a little long for some (about 35 seconds) but you can use Ringdroid to edit it.
This is not a flashable zip. Just extract/unzip the .mp3 and move it to the /system/customize/resource folder. If you want to save the original boot audio file be sure to rename it before moving or copying this one.

Splash Screens are stationary, and do not move. Boot Animations DO move however and are what is displayed after the splash screen.
If you want a custom boot animation, PM me what you are looking for. No promises, as this is not my specialty, but I can certainly give it a shot.

Hey man, for it being "not my specialty", you do some mighty fine work. Any way you could do a variation of "HTC Inspire, Rooted, S-Off" with a blue background? The order they appear isn't important, I just wanted to get those three points in as the text part.

Automatic Splash Image Creator (PNG to Flashable Zip in One Click!)

This DOES NOT work on the i9300/note 2 and never will, please stop asking about it.
Thanks to the work of invisiblek and some Google searching I was able to come up with the following tool:
This tool takes a 720x1280 .PNG image and converts it to a recovery-flashable splash screen in a single click.
A video so you can see what this changes: http://youtu.be/XXaBJTVQ2Sw
How to use:
Making your own splash screen:
0) Download and extract the .zip file
1) Make a 720x1280 .png image you want to be your splash screen (this comes in-between the boot animation and the quick Samsung logo flash)
2) Name it "initlogo.png" without the quotes
3) Place it in the PNGtoConvert folder
4) Run the "PNG-2-RLE.bat" file
5) You are finished! A "flashthisinrecovery.zip" will appear in the same directory as the batch files. Just flash it in recovery and enjoy your new splash screen!
Note: If you want the .RLE and not the whole flashable, it can be found as "initlogo.rle" in the "kernel" folder or you can pull it from the kernel folder inside the "flashmeinrecovery.zip"
Converting an .RLE that you made back to a .PNG for editing:
0) Download an extract the .zip file
1) Copy the "initlogo.rle" you want to convert to a .PNG to the RLEtoConvert folder. It must be named "initlogo.rle"
2) Run the "RLE-2-PNG.bat"
3) PNG will be in the PNGtoConvert folder named "initlogoOUTPUT.png"
Other notes:
I have included the stock initlogo as a .PNG named "initlogoSTOCKBACKUP.png" for your reference/backup purposes. If you want to test the tool with it, remember to rename it to initlogo.png
If you flash a new kernel/rom the splash will revert to stock. To get it back, just flash the "flashmeinrecovery.zip" again. You don't need to reconvert it or anything.
This has only been tested with the d2_vzw but will work with all USA (S4 CPU) variants!
Credits:
invisiblek for the recovery zip scripting
Yagya Gaire @ http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com for the original conversion tools

As always, even though this tool has been tested, nobody is responsible to damage to your phone except yourself!

I love changing my splash screens and boot animations. when I came over from a long line of Evos everyone was looking at my like if I was crazy when I was wondering why we couldn't change our splash.
anyways, have you looked into changing the Samsung splash that comes before? I would like to replace both so that the image I created shows longer. don't need that Samsung logo flashing around

I don't think we can because it is a part of the bootloader which is signed so we can't modify it. On the gnex the app logome can change it but we can't due to the security. I am not sure if the other carrier models are signed but for Verizon I am pretty sure it's impossible.

Worked great. Here is my (extremely dumb) first splash haha.

Here is mine! We should make a thread with all of these btw. Maybe I'll go over to the theme section in a little bit and make one.

[UPDATED 12-25-14] Custom Boot Animations For Sprint Galaxy Note 4

NEW Added a couple Ani's 12-25-14
Greetings Sprint GN4 Users, a little candy.
First off, credit for creating these animations goes to HanneMaster (And Others). All I did was make changes to the Flashable ZIP'z so they would work for the Sprint Variant Note 4.
Some of these were not flashable so I put them in flashable Zip format.
The Files are below.
How to:
Place the zip either on your internal or external sdcard
Boot into recovery
Locate the file & flash it
Reboot your device and enjoy!
The first one is an Android L Boot Animation.
-------------------------------
Android L Boot Animation
preview:
-------------------------------
The second is very cool. It comes in this green preview and also Red.
Also on the list is a nice Shutdown Animation and the Stock Sprint Animations.
I will be updating the list as often as possible. Frequently I hope.
-------------------------------
Matrix bootanimation for note 4.
preview:
-------------------------------
For those who would like to do this manually through a file explorer do this:
** extract the Boot Animation file ("SPR_bootsamsung.qmg") from the ZIP (system/media). Place it on your EXT SDcard.
** Using your favorite root explorer, (I use es file explorer with root enabled) Go to system/media and find "SPR_bootsamsung.qmg". Select it, Rename it to something like "SPR_bootsamsung_ORIG.qmg".
-
** Copy the "SPR_bootsamsung.qmg" file that you placed on your EXT sdcard and paste it in the /system/media folder.
-
** Now you need to change the permissions. Select the "SPR_bootsamsung.qmg" file you pasted and from the More/properties menu (es file explorer) set the permissions to: rw-r-r.
-
** Repeat the same procedure for "SPR_bootsamsungloop.qmg" not forgetting to rename the original "SPR_bootsamsungloop.qmg" to something like "SPR_bootsamsungloop_ORIG.qmg"
-
** Re-boot...
REMEMBER... These are for the Sprint variant NOTE 4 but can be re-named to work with other variants. Look in your system/media folder to try and determine the correct naming for your variant.

Glad to do it. Hopefully we will get more and more stuff happening for our Sprint GN4's.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing! I was gonna redo the Android L boot animation I have for the Note 2 but I've been busy with other things.

Two thumbs up.:good::good:

Updated List: The Gecko Full HD Boot Animation
With all props to hannemaster. Thanks dude!
Formatted for the Sprint GN4. Due to size restrictions, this boot animation is stored at Google drive.
Here:
Nature Themed HD Boot animation
And at the top of the list...

I flashed matrix red boot animation and crt shutdown and it didn't work. Flashed together, separate, wiped caches, didn't wipe caches, and it never worked and until I flashed the stock ones back the phone would reboot after the screen would turn off. I'll try the manual way and see if that works.
Edit: manual way didn't work either. I'll try green matrix now.
Edit: flashed green, didn't work. Am I missing something? I'm I devdigitel 2.0 with twisted's kernel. Should those really effect this?

Green Matrix worked for me. Very nice BTW. But Nature HD seems to flash but effects nothing.

Epic Blue Splash. Loving it.

Not working for me...tried flashing a few of them. It just boots stock

Which variant of the GN4 do you have? Are you running a custom rom?

Custom rom with custom boot screens? Go into system /media and see what the boot animations are named. Let me know.

Well, what the flashable zip does is overwrite the existing bootanimation files (2). If your stock rooted the files will be named: SPR_bootsamsung. qmg and SPR_bootsamsungloop.qmg. Confirm they are there and permissions are set to rw - r - r. Make sure you can write to the device internally and get back to me. Sounds like it could be a write problem. Although the flash should have handled it.

They are named the same, I know cause I did exactly what the manual instructions said.

Which root Explorer are you using. You renamed existing boot files then you copied over the new files and then changed the permissions then hit refresh to make sure it stuck.

So got mine to work. I removed the original two files and extracted the boot I needed files. Then placed them under system/media. When I deleted SPR and changed the permission to rw--r--r. It finally worked.
