Easy Bootanimation changer... - EVO 4G Android Development

Here are easy .bat files to change your bootanimation and sound for those with the animation in the /system/customize/resource location. If other bootanimation changers ddin't work for you this one should. Hope it helps.

how would one go about installing this thing.
(place both files in a specific folder then run a program on computer while usb plugged?)

directions are included, you just double click the .bat files..

KP, did you create this?

Big up, Thanks...

How do I change boot up sound?

On the new OTA, i want to change the Droid! sound to daft punk's "Human!"
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
i would like to change this as well
I'm not trying to be a a$$ or anything but if you search for it, it is in these forums.
remember once you edit the desc.txt file with your sound you need to push it in recovery (mount /system) to /system/customize/resource/
also for skyraider you need to rename the file VZW_Droid.mp3
PS. Here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=708316
also note we are 480-Width of the animation & 480-Height of the animation

Seriously bro... I'm on xda ALL DAY... I do plenty of "researching."
I'm looking for what Scuccia had done in aiccucs:
"Modified /system/CID/default.xml so bootanimation.zip and android_audio.mp3 will run from /data/local/"
Nevertheless, thank you for taking the time to respond.

[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.

Installation of the old branded versions: just flash the the zip file below.

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
(you can check if it is there)
#ls
(now just copy it)
#cp bootanimation.zip /system/media

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

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.

give me the clips (links from youtube or other site) from where you want the animation and i'll do it for ya....
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!

jejejeje like i mention on my last post this is a FLASHABLE ZIP throught CLOCKWORK RECOVERY.
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

Shut Down Animation

If it's anything like the original LG rom, the shutdown animation is controlled by an apk. Try looking for and removing that.

As wewo said, the shutdown animation on the g2x is controlled by poweroff.apk it works pretty much the same as a boot animation but is controlled by a XML instead of a txt file. You might be able to delete the apk but idk what will happen if you do.
You could also pull the image folder out with 7zip and make them all black. I have a power off.apk made from weapons boot animation in my weapon new clip mod. Feel free to pull it and use it if you want.

First of all, excuse me in advance for my english, I didn’t my best !!
I have the same problem. I have a LG-P999 (optimus G2X) with Videotron.
I easely change my bootanimation, but for the Poweroff animation, I didn’t find the way to change the animation after 3 days of recherche on the web….
If I desinstall the app with ‘’SystemApp remover’’ and I take the original APK file in ‘’/system/app/PowerOff.apk’’ the installation work well and when I closer the phone all is ok and the logo of videotron appear.
So I tried the tricks I saw on the web :
1 - Take the original ‘’PowerOff.apk’’ file, open it with ‘’winzip’’.Replace the .png file by other one in same format. Deleter the file ‘’/system/app/PowerOff.apk’’ and replace it by the modified one. Result, when I close the phone, the phone close and restart with no image. If I try to install the file, the installation doesn’t work.
2 - Take the original ‘’PowerOff.apk’’ file, open it with ‘’apkmanager’’. In the folder ‘’PowerOff.apk’’, I replace the .png file by other one in same format. After I Zip the modified folder ‘’PowerOff.apk’’ with ‘’apkmanager’’ and select system file. Deleter the file ‘’/system/app/PowerOff.apk’’ and replace it by the modified one. Result, when I close the phone, the phone close and restart with no image. If I try to install the file, the installation doesn’t work.
3 - If I take ‘’apkmanager’’ I extract the APK for code file (option 9) and after ZIP it (option 11) for system file, they ask me to select the file in the original apk file for the files who are not modified. If I select that the program import anything from the original file (with the logo of videotron). If I try to install the file, the installation works, but it’s a copy of the original…. If I didn’t choose the option the copy from the original file, I have the same problem of point no.2.
4 - If I dont desinstall the original ‘’PowerOff.apk’’ file but I remove it from the folder file ‘’/system/app/’’, the shutdown of the cell phone work normally with the logo of videotron…
So my question is, do they have anybody here who can read the code of the original file and say me if when I install it, it extract the ‘’.png’’ file in an other file in the cell phone ?? (Because of the point no.4)
Can you say me why I create a new apk file with ‘’apkmanager’’ I cannot install it on the phone, it give me an error and it only write ‘’the app have been not installed’’ or simething like that… Maybe, if I modify the file, the phone don’t recognize the news signature on it or something like that ???
Here is the link of the original file and the modified file :

[SOLVED]BootAnimation Install Location on Cricket PLC_CL

I am rooted, unlocked, with s-off and supercid. I can change the splash screen just fine via hboot, but three different bootanimation apps have failed to change the boot animation, despite being able to successfully disable it completely. I am very confused by this.
Okay, so there are a few places where it appears the boot animation is stored. I got it working by selecting the install location /system/media (the fourth result when selecting 'find locations') and filename bootanimation.zip
If you have the same phone, are using Rom Toolbox Lite, and want to get custom bootanimations working, this install is now confirmed working (although I appear to have broken the default with my earlier experiments, as renaming the file back to the original by removing the second extension did not fix it). I have not tested this install location with direct method or other apps.
Thanks to all who Old Splatterhand and Modding.My.Mind for getting me looking at install locations and permissions, which lead to the solution. :good:
Where do you want to change it (location)?
Did you set permissions for the new one?
Is it correctly named?
Is it a selfmade or is it confirmed that it is running on another device?
For K2_CL it is located
Code:
/system/customize/resource/boost_bootanimation.zip
I do this manually. You can either copy the original bootanimation to your pc or sdcard or you can leave it where it is located at and rename the zip by adding an additional extension after the .zip like .zip.pzi so this way the phone won't read and execute it upon booting up.
Afterwards, take your custom bootanimation that you have downloaded or personally created yourself and insure the zip is given the same name as your stock bootanimation zip file. Then copy it to its proper location. After that, reboot your device .

You will need to insure you have read and write permissions first or you won't be able to to make changes to your stock and/or custom bootanimation zip file in your system.

UPDATE: renamed CKT_bootupone.zip to CKT_bootupone.zip.bkp and installed to same location with filename CKT_bootupone.zip
The result was no bootanimation at all
If there is no bootanimation displaying itself then delete the custom bootanimation and grab another one of its kind and repeat the step. Your thread says solved.... So I assume it is working for you now? If so, then congrats.
Sent from my C525c using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
There was a couple of times where my bootanimation would not work. It was mostly due to the compression level of the zip file. Best way to confirm is to extract the contents of the zip file then make a new zip file with those contents but make sure the compression level for the zip is 'STORE'. See picture below. Otherwise, the bootanimation will not work.
