[Boot Animation] Android BSOD v2.1 (2010-05-12)

This is just something I threw together for fun, after reading one too many posts of people complaining of boot loops and other problems when flashing different ROMs and kernels. It starts with the normal Nexus One bootup sequence, then halts at a BSOD message.

To install the animation, rename the file to bootanimation.zip and adb push to /data/local
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
Check out Random Boot Animations if you want to use multiple boot animations.
Update Notes:
v2.1 - Fixed typo in blue screen
v2 - Increased resolution of X animation, revised BSOD to an Android-related message,including a reminder on how to access the Bootloader.
v1 - Initial release.

Haha love it! I will have to show my co-workers this one.

Haha, nice work! I think this is a great idea. I'll try it when i get home!

Lol nice! How do you apply it and how can i backup my current one?
Thanks

how do I flash this? I tried through recovery but I got a verification failed.

sweet works great with random boot animation script

No one wants to answer because we have to search or they dont know themselves. im sure its a half/half. Little do they know they knew nothing at one point...

It's in system/media and named BootAnimation.zip. Use a file manager to copy it/rename it and then move the new animation in. You can push it from a laptop as well, but I never bothered remembering the commands for adb. A quick search really would have answered your questions. :]

you can push it to /data/local/bootanimation.zip
if you don't want it anymore, delete it and your original is untouched

Just ran it then, looks cool. But why is the X so low res?

Sorry, I was in a rush when posting this, and didn't have time to get back to this forum until a few days later. I've updated OP with installation instructions.

If you push the file to /data/local as in the instructions, your original bootanimation (which resides in /system/media) will not be overwritten. However, if you have another boot animation already at /data/local, you can make a copy of that before overwriting it with this one.

This was just a quick hack thrown together for laughs. The problem is that the final screen needs to be at 480x800 in order to have a blue background. That means the rest of the images will also need to be at that ratio. The original X animation was done at 512x256, and if I rescaled it to 480x800 the animation lags a bit on my phone. So what I did was to downscale it to 240x400, which is why it appears low-res.
If people are actually interested in this I can experiment a bit to see what is a good compromise between speed and resolution.

OP is updated with V2 of the animation! If you liked the first one, you should definitely get this.

How do u install these?

Could you make HTC HD2 version of it ?
Thanks.

Could we get a Hero version? :3

I like the last one but would like it in pink...

Blue!
Any way to get one of the first two in blue?
That would be fantastic! Thanks!

EDIT:
How does one install one of these? I flashed it as I would a ROM:
Recovery / install zip from sd card / select / install / reboot
That didn't do anything. I am certain I am doing it wrong...

Filled your request in the first post

From what I have read on many threads is that Sprint cannot deny you maintenance for hardware even if you are rooted.

My guess is you extracted and copied the bootanimation.zip to the supposed location? If yes, then:
1. Make sure the file is named correctly (must same as the original file you are going to overwrite)
2. Setting the right permission
As shown here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16154535&postcount=6
Try this and see if it works.

hmm tried but still a black screen

It's not a compressed zip file. It's just storage. Then you'll have to copy it to system/customize/resource after you've renamed the one that's in there. (something like bootanimation.zip.old) Then hit paste and set permissions to match your old one. Reboot & check out your handiwork.
