[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)
#cd /sdcard
(you can check if it is there)

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.

Is it possible? How hard would it be to do?

should be pretty simple

I just made one, but for some reason I do not see it when my TF boots, once I figure it out, I'll put it up here for you.

Yes, I'm trying to load it on my TF, when I reboot the screen just goes black

he's asking where you're putting it on your transformer...
as in /data/local or system/media
it matters on our devices i think.
also, how did you take the video and make it into images. I found out how to do it, but i end up with 900 JPEGs and I need .pngs ...

I put it in the /data/local folder.
I used mplayer to convert an avi into jpg.
mplayer file.avi -vo jpeg
or
mplayer file.avi -vo png
I have followed a butt load of tuts and I'm still getting a black screen on boot. :S
I just converted all images to png and I get the same results.

can you go ahead and post what you have, maybe someone can take a look at it.

This is what is in my desc.txt:
1280 800 30

Like to know how this is coming this is something I am interested in.

Hopefully i will have this figured out soon

Make sure that when you create the .zip you use no compression.

Thanks, that just might be the problem.
update: Thanks hawkxcore that did it. For others, in linux this is how I did it:
zip -0 bootanimation.zip part0/* desc.txt
* The -0 stores the files without compression.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium

Ok got some progress. Got the animation to load, but I need to shrink the images a bit, currently the zip file is 98M. So let me play with this tonight and I'll get it ready to post here tomorrow
Here's what I got so far, got it down to 13MB: http://mir.cr/TUZXFHB1

although i cant root my transformer i do know a way to make bootanims from videos.
use after effects and it can do the png thing also you can make custom 3d looking anims in there. if you dont have it use a free trial or some of those torrents things. not suggedting anything and not condoning illegal stuff its your choice.

your transformer doesn't need to be rooted to install boot animations. I installed it on hers and her's isn't even rooted to this day.
You push it with adb - "adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
I'll upload some boot animations soon, I've become quite good at making them over the past couple days.
Anybody that is having trouble with their boot animation.. don't be stupid like me. I was taking the bootanimation folder that I was making them in and I compressed that folder. And I kept compressing that instead of just the contents (desc.txt and folder1), stupid mistake, but an easy one to make.

Has anyone tried this bootanimation ?
I'm trying to figure out how to add audio to the animation, but it looks like it requires a ROM tweek. If anyone has any information on this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Just a little boot animation i whipped up in After Effects.
Not gonna lie, this was based off a template. But it was edited and resized by me, and made to work with the KF. the logo is custom made by me as well.

Use ADB. Guide Here
To check your device is connected type:
Code:
adb devices
If it's not, you need to follow the guide linked above to install the usb drivers.
-----
To add an animation type:
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
To test that it's installed correctly type:
Code:
adb shell bootanimation
And it should show the animation on the Kindle screen. Press ctrl+c to stop the animation.
To remove the boot animation and restore your unit to stock, type in:
Code:
adb shell rm /data/local/bootanimation.zip
-----
Via a file explorer app (Requires root):
Copy 'bootanimation.zip' to the sdcard. On your Kindle open the file explorer app of your choice (any app that allows you to copy and paste to the internal memory, "Root Explorer" is a useful app). Copy 'bootanimation.zip' and paste it to /Data/Local. If the folder doesn't exist, create it.

I will attempt to create a flashable zip, Ned a tester. Anyone?

It's nice and it works, but It's a little laggy. Seems like I can't post a video.

I mean the sizing you did on the animation. It looks pixelated and it didn't look like the animation was the proper size.

Looks cool, but I would prefer portrail bootscreen though

When I had someone shoot a video of it, it looked fine to me... maybe you could show a video of said pixellation? It should be the same size and resolution as the KF itself.

Awesome!! It's time to change my CM7 bootanimation~

I have a real world video. Just need to break the 10 post thing so I could link it, or you can find me on YouTube (GermanGTD65).

[HOW-TO] Change your Boot Splash + ZIPs + Online Generator + Warning Gone + Ville/C2

You can have your own custom boot splash. (This is the very first picture you see when you boot up the device. Before the boot animation. The one you also see when booting into recovery.)
Upload a picture here. (It should be 540x960 pixels. If it's not, it gets resized without preserving proportions.) It generates a .zip that you can flash in recovery.
Or pick one from the list at the bottom of this post.
You must be on hboot 1.06 or 1.09 for this to work. If you're not, here is how to downgrade your hboot.
If you're S-Off, this will work on any hboot version. If you're not, here is how to get S-Off.
Flashing a new boot splash does not get rid of the red "This build is for development only.." warning text. (Edit: Now that we have S-Off, you can edit out the warning text in the hboot image. I tried it. It works. But it's a dangerous thing to do if you don't do everything exactly correct.)
If you create one that you feel is especially nice, feel free to post it in this thread. ("Pics and zips please.")
/!\ So far there are (at least) 2 reports where the flashable zip did not work, but manually dd'ing the raw 565 file into mmcblk0p14 did work. If someone can point out what the update script in the zip does not do that is required to successfully flash the splash, I'd be very interested.
You can also get rid of the red warning text overlay. (If you're S-Off)
I modified a couple of hboots to edit out the warning text, and made flashable zips for them. See post #148. <-- You must be S-Off for this. If you're not you can get bricked.
(A side effect of flashing the 1.14.0004 hboot is that your ** TAMPERED ** flag is gone, even when flashing different ones afterwards.)
-Jobo
Original post, from before it was so easy...
If you have a 540x960px image, save/convert it to raw rgb565 (The resulting file should be 1036800 bytes.. 540x960x2) and dd it into /dev/block/mmcblk0p14.
I tested with this attached one. (That zip is not flashable. Just unzip it and dd the raw 565 file. You dont need to be in recovery, you can do it while booted.) I'm sure others can do better but this was good enough to see that it works, and I like a dark splash better than the light one.
You will still get the red 'This build is for development only' stuff overlaid tho.
That overlay text sits in mmcblk0p12:0xBD700 by the way but I dont dare poke into that partition.​
Update 2012/7/19: See post #8 to make it flashable from recovery.
Update 2012/7/25: Looks like this will only for for hboot-1.06 and 1.09, not for 1.13 and up. (Unless you're S-Off)
Update 2012/9/20: Collected all boot splashes here.
Update 2012/10/1: Made a php thingy to generate flashable zips from a web form. See post #115.
Update 2013/1/2: Redid this post to point at the online zip generator.
Update 2013/2/22: Made some additions/edits regarding S-Off
Update 2013/2/23: Added some flashable edited hboots. See post #148.
Update 2013/3/16: Added fastboot-flashable zips, as it is now discouraged to flash hboot in recovery. See post #274
Update 2013/6/11: Minor php script update in the online generator because I added a version for the One-M7
Update 2013/11/22: Confirmed to work on VilleC2 as well.
Update 2014/05/31: Added support for the Desire X
Update 2014/07/15: Added support for the One M8
Update 2014/07/17: Hmmm... So it turns out that the zips for the M7 also work for the Butterfly S. I had no idea.

The name doesn't matter, but the contents must be raw rgb565 data.
Just put the file on your sdcard, and then from an adb shell, dd it into mmcblk0p14.

Inside the zip. There is only one file inside /cache/ and thats the splash.

Ok did a flash and it worked out great, the only time you will get that HTC warning in red letters across the splash is if your not using the stock boot image, if your using a raw image it will display but other wise it looks fine (no warning displayed).
Thanks again, I'll post up some work when I'm done.
For those that have never done this before here's what you do.
First you want to back up the original image, there's nothing worse than changing something and finding out you didn't back up the original and this is no exception SO go to terminal emulator and type this line:
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p14.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This will backup to the sdcard as an image so now go put that in a safe place on your computer just in case you format your sdcard down the road. Don't lose this.
Rename the image that you put on your sdcard to:
custom.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and save it, make sure its on the root of the sdcard other wise you need to provide the path. Then load terminal emulator and type:
su
dd if=/mnt/sdcard/custom.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The transfer in and out will be exactly the same if you typed this in correctly and its highly important that you type in the correct mmcblk number or you could be in for a long night.
I backed up everything just in case to do this type this out and take the file image and put it away.
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is a huge image but its a full image of your entire device including all partitions, this is more than a nandoid its everything.

What are you using to convert the splash.jpg to splash.img? I tried an older method but for some reason it's not working.

can anyone turn this into a rgb565 data.

ffmpeg will do it,
Code:
ffmpeg -i splash1.bmp -f rawvideo -pix_fmt rgb565 splash.565
or alternatively you can save it as a 16 bit .bmp and then strip the headers off or tail the last 1036800 bytes. (You'll have to flip it as (0,0) is bottom left in .bmp files.)
I bet there are nicer tools but I haven't looked.

or alternatively you can save it as a 16 bit .bmp and then strip the headers off or tail the last 1036800 bytes. (You'll have to flip it as (0,0) is bottom left in .bmp files.)
I bet there are nicer tools but I haven't looked.

Yeah I've looked and the one released is strictly 480x800, I've never used that method you listed above but ill give it a shot everything I did before was with that tool on the mytouch 4g.

You can also use that Paint.Net program as described in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=649890
Pretty easy to do it using that method, you just have to consider the different resolution of the OneS and follow steps 1-3. I converted an image to rgb565 with it, worked like a charm.
BUT! I can't get it to flash. Tried with the flashable zip (placed it in the cache folder) and tried installing with TWRP. Comes out as successful, but I still get the default HTC quietly brilliant splash.
Also tried dd-ing the image with a terminal emulator, also no-go.
Running HTC Stock Rom, Vodafone DE/UK, 1.78, rooted.
Attached the image in a zip, if someone wants to try it. It can be opened with Paint.Net. You have to supply it with the correct resolution tho: 540x960

Works for me.
I wonder what could make the difference...
Do you have a signed boot image in place or a custom one?
Do you get the red 'This build is for development only' text overlaid?

[GUIDE]How to make your Own Custom Bootanimation + Share Ur Custom Bootanimations

This is tutorial of HOW TO make your own Custom boot Animations:​
First you must know, is your phone allow you to change bootanimation.?
If yes then go further & if NO then just follow this - Link
You need to flash CWM_CustomBootanimation_421_Enable.zip first to enable it from above links thread.:good:
Now, Read the below contents carefully.
Making Android open-source is probably the smartest thing Google has ever done with their platform. Putting control in the hands of thousands of dedicated developers has left us with some fairly spectacular results. If you know what you’re doing, there’s a way to customize just about every part of Android.
Even the boot animation can be changed if you know how. If you’re tired of that boring start-up that came with stock, fret not because it can be changed. This isn’t the most complex hack (we’re not changing how Android handles multitasking). However, it is a nice option to customize another part of your phone. On a purely practical level, we’re a little sick of hearing the noisy boot-up noise for MIUI. This guide can help you change your animation so it’s exactly what you want.
The Android boot animation is stored within one very special file named bootanimation.zip inside the phone’s memory. Change the .zip, change the animation. It’s as simple as that.
What’s not simple is how Android stores bootanimation.zip. For some unknown reason, Android actually keeps two copies of the animation file. One is stored at /data/local and the other at /system/media.
The difference between these locations is minor. The /data/local copy does not require root access in many mobile, but our S4 need root access. The phone also uses this animation before the other. The other one in /system/media does require root. However, installing a new animation to /system/media means that it will survive a factory reset. It’s a trade-off.
Regardless of which location you decide to use for your new boot animation, be absolutely sure to back up the original files. When replacing bootanimation.zip, keep a copy of the original .zip file saved to your computer. To be absolutely sure, you may want to make a Nandroid backup before doing any modifications.
How It Works
This section is intended to inform those who might wish to make their own start-up animation. If you have no interest in doing so, feel free to skip ahead. Understanding exactly how bootanimation.zip works is not necessary to install a new one.
If you copy bootanimation.zip to your computer and unzip it, inside will be a collection of files. There will be folders labeled part0, part1, part2 and so on. Also included will be desc.txt.
For our MIUI ROM, the boot animation was split into two parts. Part 0 had a huge list of image files which it used for the animation. Part 1 simply held the final screen at the end of the animation.
Desc.txt contains extremely simple instructions telling the phone how to run the animation. The first line lists the width, height, and frame rate of the animation. An Example: 480 800 24 means to run the animation at 480×800 resolution and 24 frames per second.
The next two lines refer to the animation files. “P” invokes a part folder. The next number tells the phone how many times to play that part of the animation. So our second line “p 1 0 part0” means that the animation files in the part0 folder will play once. If we put zero, then the animation will loop until fully booted. The most notable use of looping animations is CyanogenMod 7’s spinning blue arrow.
The second number in that line is the pause time. This tells the phone how long it should pause DURING/BEFORE/AFTER/ the animation. Pause time is measured in frames, so 24 would be 24 frames of pause at 24 frames per second. Thus it pauses for one second. Our 0 means the phone pauses for zero frames (no time).
Creating Your Own Boot Animation
The first step is drawing the animation. Create a series of images which form one continuous animation. The frames must be labeled by increasing numbers, e.g. 000.png and 001.png and so on. Each part of the animation goes into a separate folder, starting with part0 and part1 and so on.
Finally open Notepad and write out a few lines of instructions. The first line should be the resolution and frame rate of the animation. The resolution must match that of your device. If you don’t know what that resolution is, see this page. The frame rate should match the one in the original desc.txt.
The next lines dictate the parts. Each part folder requires one line of instruction. Write out the numbers for each part of the animation. Once finished, save the file as desc.txt.
The final step is creating the .zip file. Select all the part folders and desc.txt. Right click on the files and select Send To > Compressed folder. Windows should quickly create the new file. Be sure to name it bootanimation.zip and nothing else.
Various Methods of Changing the Boot Animation:
1) Installation by ROM
Although there is a universal procedure for changing the animation, certain ROMs and themes come with their own rules for flashing. The MIUI ROM lets you change the boot animation within its Themes app. You can download custom animations within the app, no modifications needed.
2) Installation by Flashing
Other themes come as .zip files which can be flashed within ClockworkMod. This is much easier and definitely recommended. When downloading a theme from XDA or elsewhere, be sure to check the page. It might be a flashable .zip.
To flash a .zip file, simply copy it to the SD card.
Reboot into recovery mode.
Now go to “Install .zip” and choose the file from your card. CWM should run the file.
Reboot once finished.
3) Installation via ADB
Obviously, this method assumes that you have the Android SDK installed. It’s sort of necessary. If you feel the need to change the boot animation in a really cool programmer way, here’s how.
3.1) Download an animation and rename it to bootanimation.zip.
3.2) Copy the .zip file to the directory where the SDK is installed and within the platform-tools folder. So it’s (installation directory)android-sdkplatform-tools. Paste the file here.
3.3) Plug in the phone and turn on USB debugging.
3.4) Open Command Prompt and type “cd (installation directory)android-sdkplatform-tools“.
3.5) Type “adb remount” to mount /system as read-write. You should get a success message.
3.6) Enter in “adb shell” then “su” to double-check that you’re in root mode.
3.7) Navigate to the animation folder by typing “cd /system/customize/resource“.
3.8) Rename the original to the PC by entering “mv bootanimation.zip bootanimation.bak”. Now the original is there if you want to restore it, but the system won’t use it.
3.9) Type “adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource” to copy the file over. That’s it!
Note: Here we are assuming that the file bootanimation.zip is located at “/system/customize/resource“. In case the file is located at some other location on your phone, replace “/system/customize/resource” by that specific file path.
To change the boot audio:
1) Find an mp3. It should be relatively short as most phones don’t take much time to turn on.
2) Rename the mp3 to bootaudio.mp3.
3) Copy it to the SD card.
4) Now open Super Manager and copy the mp3 to /system/media.
TADAAAAAAAAAAA...now you can make your own bootanimation.zip file.:good:

actually bit doesnt matter what size u use. coz when u make a zip file then it contain images. of its like S4 size then it would b full HD image or bootanimation. else above one will also b looking fine.
1080 * 1920.
actually its the size of full HD IMAGE.

thx.
i flash the CWM_CustomBootanimation_43_Enable.zip and CWM_CustomBootanimation_Test.zip, now i can see the test bootanimation. But when i tried to flash the custom zip( follow your tutorial about how to make a own zip step by step), it said" aborted",strange. So i replaced bootanimation.zip in CWM_CustomBootanimation_Test.zip with my custom zip, and flashed it. It worked, though the resolution wasn't concise. i changed the resolution (1080 1920) and flashed it again,this time, there was nothing during the device booting( totally dark).

For abort - Please check your Zip package or mention what error (i.e. status 0 or status 7 )
Have you made image of size 1080*1920.?

sounds to me that youve might have compressed the zip.. thats a "no-go" on bootanimation.zip-files..
if thats not the case, then just parse me your animation, and i will take a look at it..

Well, as long as my test animation works, then we can conclude that the custom bootanimations feature work, and therefore must be the animation itself that is somewhat messed up.. Will look into it later tonight when my son is sleeping..

okay, ive had a look at it.. and i was guessing right.. its compressed.. extract all the folders and files, then pack the extracted content down again, but make sure its with "save and replace only"-method.. that should do it
and to be honest, you might want to shorten down the animation.. there is lots of files that wont be showed.. for instance, the last Generic2 folder will never be showed.. just saying
cheers
