The animation is the beginning of the 11th Doctors Episodes. It displays the TARDIS swirling through a vortex of time and space. In fact, I took the snapshots during the newest "A Christmas Carol" Episode that aired on Christmas day of this year.

SOMEONE also requested a Tom Baker Era Bootanimation. IF he/she sees this, I need to know which animation he wants...Early Tom Baker or the newer digital star like version of Tom Baker. <-------------DONE
(EDIT) I am in the process of learning how to make the flashable zip a possibility. <-----------DONE
(EDIT) ALSO, Expect a newer SMALLER (in a day)(8MB) .zip. (this will be the flashable one).---DONE
If running AOSP Roms the Location should be: /system/media
If running Sense Roms the Location should be: /system/customize/resource
If running Other Roms the Location MAY be: /data/local

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Code:
Connect USB > Copy and Paste bootanimation.zip (and/or SPC_animation_final.mp3) to your android-sdk-windows\tools directory. > Click start > run > cmd *enter*
Type: cd (directory of your android-sdk-windows\tools directory) *enter*
adb remount *enter*
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media *enter* (AOSP/CM6.1.1)
adb push SPC_animation_final.mp3 /system/media *enter* (AOSP/CM6.1.1)
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource *enter* (Sense)
adb push SPC_animation_final.mp3 /system/customize/resource *enter* (Sense)
adb shell bootanimation *enter
Make sure your screen is on when you do this to watch the animation.
To get out of the preview Hold CTRL then hit C.
This DOES overwrite your current bootanimation when testing it.
Comment it. Please no bashing Doctor Who or my work. This is my first release.
I do take constructive criticism though. Bring It.
I am on irc #htc-evo, and #htc-evo-theming. SO comment here or there.
Thanks
BTW, I will take a few requests for bootanimations pertaining to Doctor Who. The reason is because I have every episode in existence (that I know of). So if you want a bootanimation from the startup of any of the doctor whos, you have to give me the episode name. For instance, you could say "I want Tom Baker's startup" But he has at least two different beginnings. So you need to specify from which episode, or describe the animation.
MANY Thanks to Raiden89 aka Dr`Ryder from the #htc-evo-theming for the tips on testing bootanimations, and bootanimation structure...etc
ALSO to dodgejcr from #sdx-developers for helping test my animations, and host them as well.
Dr `Ryder has spend hours with me troubleshooting my animations...etc Thanks bro.

Well our screens are 480 x 800 and I could resize the images smaller but they are already at 624 x 352. I know with an older boot animation I had the animation was choppy and blurry if I resized them down. I heard .jpgs should work...and they are smaller sized then pngs but I heard some phones are picky.

I know, dont get me wrong. The animation is crazy, would love to see it happen in my phone, but compared to CM boot-animation which is less that 2mb, this is a huge jump. This would take 20mb of my internal memory.
I mean just look at the attached file. That is the Droid. It barely reaches 1mb.
Anyways, good job with this new style. I was asking around if that was part of a movie. Is it??

Excellent work!
I would like to see a Doctor Who theme for our Evos. I build a WM6.1 Rom based of the 10th Doctor Who and Rose, but i have no clue where to start with Android (or time for that matter).
Now all we need is an app that will flash the LEDS when you get a notification, just like a Tardis. Possibly with an adjustable amount of flashes, like a text is a simple flash or two and several for a call.
Anyways great work, look forward to updates.

I like this. Landscape makes it look so much better. Like the boot sound and everything.
However is seems that I'm stuck in a bootloop. I flashed the .zip, cleared the delv-cache, and cache............nvm it just loaded. Its possible that it was due to Fresh 3.5xx, after wiping his roms seem to take longer to load.. No worries..
Also if you need a beta/update tester I would be more than willing. Im not a developer but I can test the crap out of something to find any bugs.

I dont know about the rest of you, but I think the sound on this is a bit loud,
I lowered the volume a bit and have attached the updated mp3
adb remount
adb push SPC_animation_final.mp3.zip /system/customize/resource/SPC_animation_final.mp3
Note the file extension .zip is only there because this side will not accept an MP3
just rename the file it is NOT A ZIP file

You must have flashed the audio file.zip posted for CM roms. I just opened it and only found the sound files. I will update it WITH the bootanimation here in the next hour or two.

I will try rezipping the audio for CM and Bootanimation (I have to add that) and sign/flash myself. UNLESS you are talking about the Sense version which I did make.
FYI: IF I adb push the SPC_animation_final.mp3 to the resource folder...I do get horribly loud sound. The Sense flashable zip that I created myself with Script Maker isn't nearly as loud. I think it is because Script Maker compresses it when you make the flashable zip. I will try ripping the audio from the previous CM audio link, add the boot animation, rezip/sign/test and if I get it in the next hour ill update the link. It is my fault...I didn't read the post enough I just updated the OP to reflect a flashable zip for Animation WITH sound...only to find out its sound only....This is my current project. Hold onto your butts (Yes, Jurassic Park).
(EDIT): I tested my bootanimation with sound for CM....really loud sound. Will try with the new boot animation sound with lower volume and if it is right for me, ill upload it.
(EDIT): I tried with the lower volume .mp3 version and I still get the loud volume. I don't get it to be honest.
Would this work with an Incredible? I don't really see a reason as to why it wouldn't, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

Be specific. Do you want the bootanimation AND sound? Do you want it in a flashable.zip to flash in recovery? I have no idea what recovery your phone uses, but i could find the Incredibles screen res, then resize or change the .desc file then post it in the Incredible theme section for you. BTW next time, pm me to try to keep it on topic for the EVO. I can make it work for the Incredible as long as the incredibles boot animation contains a part0, part1 folders and a desc.txt file. I'm sure we could work it out.
(EDIT):The screen res are the same between the Evo and Incredible. Assuming in your rooted Incredible you put the bootanimation.zip in /system/customize/resource (SENSE rom), or /system/media (AOSP/Cyanogenmod rom). I will post it in the incredible section in a few.

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

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

These Are Bootanimations which are little videos that play when your phone is turning on.. You can also add some of the poweron.mp3 files I've listed to replace the stock boot up sound.
Instructions:
FYI... You may want to save your stock bootanimation and poweron before overwriting them...
You can download these bootanimations using the XDA app (Easiest Way). It will store them on your sdcard/download (folder) Or you can download them to your computer.. (you have to download the PowerOn files using your PC as of now)
Move/Copy bootanimation.zip to /system/media (using Root Explorer make sure to click R/W at the top right corner so you can paste)
Move/Copy poweron.mp3 to /system/etc (Your poweron.mp3 may be named something different, check your stock first and see, if it's different than what I have, simply rename the file to what yours is)
Then Reboot.. you should see your new bootanimation and hear your new poweron right after the SAMSUNG text...
I'm open for request, no promises!!!!

Not bad as a first design. Especially thinking that just a couple of days ago you were asking how to just change the boot animation. I hope my little tutorial helped you out. Give it a week or so more and you'll have a whole series coming out!!
ha.. we'll see. I have lots in my head, but i think there's more settings that I'm not aware of. I see those choppy blocks in it. I think it may have something to do with Frame Per Second, but not sure how to change that.
here's my 2nd one.. Getting better!!!
I figured out the Frames Per Second it's in the text file right after resolution..

I don't wanna be a buzz killer but i kinda like the stock boot animation. I also like these because they don't have that annoying block flickering in them. You don't think we could fix the stock one do you?

I have no idea why it does that flickering... If you extract your bootanimation.zip file and upload it. I'll take a look at it and see if I can fix it..
the only way I'm getting the bootanimation file off my phone is that its in .qmg format. Its not on there as bootanimation.zip

Here's a TronAndroid Boot Animation with a sound file...
Just move both files to sd card.
Then move: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17161099/Tron Boot Animation and Sound/bootanimation.zip to system/media/
Move http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17161099/Tron Boot Animation and Sound/0406_PowerOn.mp3 to /system/etc
Reboot and Enjoy!!!
I used J-B Themes TronDroid pic here and added some animation to it..

hmm, not sure I can't remember if Mine had a bootanimation.zip before I applied a custom boot or not, I thought it did..
mine has a bootsamsung.qmg but no bootanimation.qmg
well I guess if you get me the bootanimation.qmg I'll see if I can open it, no promises though!!!

so i guess once you use a custom bootanimation.zip it overwrites that one..
I know somebody else who has a mesmerize that i can mess with. I'll see if i can't get lucky and get the bootanimation.zip off of his phone.
Hey folks.. I have a few questions regarding the boot animation sequence. Right now I'm using the Xi40 rom (which is awesome so far) and I feel like I want a new boot-animation.
So my questions are as follows:
Can we load boot-animations from a different phone onto ours with no issue as long as its 720p resolution?
Is anyone currently owning the One X familiar with the process to create a boot-animation? I have a couple .gifs that I would love to create some with, but I've been told they need to be chopped up one way or another? I literally dont know anything about the process...
I would love it if someone well-informed on the subject could lend their knowledge. Thanks guys

This is how I learned. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1096068
Instead of part 0 and part 1 use ATT and android as the folder names. Do the same for the desc file. Then instead of bootanimation.zip use ATT_bootanimation.zip. if your on rogers use the name of you respective folders and sub folders of the bootanimation file.
Both rogers and att are located in system/customize/resources folder on device.
If you use windows make sure you have show hidden files on and delete any .thumbs files windows places in your working folders or animation will have problems, also use notepad++ (free) to build the desc file.
Hope this helps.

You can also tweak some boot and shutdown animation (and sound) properties by editing /system/customize/CID/default.xml - the BootConfiguration and ShutdownConfiguration elements. Have fun!
Is there a default ICS boot animation in native 720p? (speaking specifically of this animation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DLT21a4ddk)
It's pretty much the only one I like.

I found one and tweaked it to play a little bit slower (12 fps) but you can crack it open and tweak it to your liking. I also attached the default.xml that I tweaked so that I didn't have to overwrite the ATT_bootanimation.zip and didn't hear the ATT sound during boot. The file goes in /system/customize/CID/default.xml. NOTE that I had to attach it as default.txt but you need to rename it to default.xml.
Remember to make backups!

Thanks for the tut, gonna dl some programs and give it a shot!
The boot animation I want comes from a gif i have, which i also have in avi format from recording it. So my problems lies in finding a program that will chop up any video format into individual frames in png.
Im using virtualdub but the 'save image sequence' option doesn't seem to work for me..
Am i making this more complicated than i need to?
thanks again

ah! figured out how to save the sequence. will update again later.

It's actually resource, not resources. At least on my ATT HOXL. I imagine you could put the zip in any number of places as long as default.xml pointed to that location.

ok, so my boot animation should work, but can anyone explain the default.xml aspect to me?

figured it out. sorry for all the edits.
Keeps getting overridden by the old boot, and now the simple old "classic" android bootanimation.. halp
i feel like ive made some progress though!

Open up default.xml and look at the BootConfiguration element. I'm no expert in these areas but at the very least it specifies the boot animation zip file location. You can also specify a sound to play at boot time. I have a copy of the stock default.xml that uses the sound attribute - or you can crack open the stock RUU and look at it yourself.
I've only started playing with this in the last couple of days so I'm sure there are folks here with better answers ;-)

first of all i just wanted to say im grateful that youre replying
Im editing the file now and I noticed the bootloader tidbit, which i edited to point to the location of my bootanimation, which i guess doesnt work
ive got my animation zipped perfectly i believe so im a bit confused..
let me post some pics and tell me what you think
In the first attachment you can see that im pointing it towards my zip, which is in the 2nd attachment.
In the 3rd attachment is what my zip looks like, i copied it to be exactly like that of the previous bootanimation thats in my rom, but of course edited to launch my own animation.
edit- whenever i restart my phone it immediately skips any animation straight to my desktop
Are you using the "store" compression type when creating the zip?
Hello everyone!
Here is the official CM10 boot animation that many of us have been waiting for! I've tested it and it works beautifully on the Infuse.

Instructions:
1. Download to your phone's SD card
2. Flash in recovery
3. Allow the device to reboot itself. It will reboot back into recovery (this is normal)
4. Reboot manually from recovery. The Samsung and CyanogenMod boot logos may seem to appear longer than usual. This is normal when you change the boot animation and adds only a couple of extra seconds. Please be patient.
5. Behold the glory of the official CM10 boot animation
Please note: I take no responsibility for the work done on this animation. I'm just simply passing it down to the Infuse community. All credit goes to the CyanogenMod team and Cameron Behzadpour. This is the 480x800 version that is compatible with our device.
thanx dude.itz superb.
Thanks... love it ...
Pretty nice, may want to say the reboot back to recovery can take a while, i almost thought my phone was bricked lol

You should be able to but I haven't tested it. Make sure you download the zip. Extract bootanimation.zip from /system/media/. Copy the file then mount /system as writable. Finally go to /data/local and paste. (Can anyone confirm this? I haven't done it in a long time)
The boot animation zip on my phone is in system/media. The reason I ask is because the cm9 one is like 200 JPEG split between the 2 folders an the new cm10 one is like 100. I was nervous something might look for those other files.

Ah this was useful "In ALL versions of Android since version 2.0, the use of /data/local is recommended as it is the first place the OS looks for the animation. If it cannot find one there, it defaults to /system/media. /data/local has at least 2 advantages: 1) the file size is not as limited as s/m allowing for larger animations or larger image sizes in them & 2) if you put it there and it is a bad download or any other reason it may boot loop, it is easier to remove from /data/local with a simple adb line and your device defaults back to the default one in /system/media."
Thanks to moderator fish1552 at xoomforums.com for this.

Nice! For me, I found that clearing the caches, flashing the boot animation, then fixing permissions just to be safe made the boot-up process faster, for those of you who are impatient like me.
I like it also but is there a way to add a Flashing 10 in the Center for the CM 10
i am not a Photoshop person to do such a design

There is definitely a way to add a flashing 10. I have a lot of work to do now that I'm back at school, but you can find custom numbers and use Paint.NET as a substitute for Photoshop, and it's free.

Secondly make sure you have Boot Animation factory.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678540
This process is not as hard as it seems. Download the zip in the OP and extract it. In the extracted folder, you'll navigate to system>media>bootanimation where you'll find yet ANOTHER zip. Extract that and inside is the magic of the boot animation. About 100 different pictures in two folders that make up the boot animation. Edit each one to your liking in Paint.NET and add whatever effects you want. Repackage the boot animation zip file with the program of your choice, then repackage the WHOLE thing so that it can be flashed within recovery.
Use Boot Animation factory to preview your new boot animation and make it usable on your phone. It's just a tedious process. When editing the images, just make sure that you don't change the size of the image on accident.
Thanks for sharing. It worked just as explained
It's a nice change until I find a good Fallout startup to go with my phone's theme...or until I get bored with the whole HEY! Shiny object!

Kudos for having the patience! I'm glad it turned out for you. If you want to really get adventurous you can make your boot animation completely custom with that method. Maybe you can start making a glowing Fallout logo boot animation for multiple devices and post.

Hmm...good idea. I made up a quick & dirty Aperture Laboratories (from Portal) startup screen a while back, so I know I can pull off at least SOMETHING...assuming I can stick with a ROM for more than a day
This is what I do for bootanimations, j use gimp (free...but you can use,any software...paint-lol, or just any image) to get the basic single image made at,480x800
Then I get a video editor...I use one on linux called lives (free)
I create a clip using the picture...usually picking 100-150 frames...at 25fps that's 4-6 seconds
I then mess around with the video effects...add swirls, spins, color changes, zooming in/out...etc
When done all the images are kept ins folder so I take that folder and copy it to windows...I boot into windows and use bootanimation factory to turn it into a proper bootanimation zip (can never get it when I do it myself)
If you can't locate the folder the images are saved you can save it into a video...you can then use software to extract the frames...anyways that's just a quick way to make boot animations instead of manually changing each image...

Friends,
This thread guides about the process of Changing the boot animation in ICS.
STEP 1
Make a backup of bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg from /system/media and remove them.
Now make a backup of samsungani and bootanimation from /system/bin
Download the modded samsungani and bootanimation files from this LINK.
Copy these files and paste it into /system/bin. It will overwrite the existing files.
Change the permission of both these files to rwx r-x r-x
STEP 2
Now you can get any of the custom bootanimation file. The name shud be bootanimation.zip.
Place the file in /system/media
A Collection of Boot Animations will be made available in the second post. You can download them and use it.
STEP 3
Download and Flash Ardatdat's kernel (either 4.1 or 4.2 beta 6) from this LINK
These kernels are modded to support Custom Boot animation
Reboot to CWM and flash the kernel
Reboot the mobile. Now u will have new custom bootanimation
Wanna Create your Own Bootanimation ??? -------------------> Check it out Here
P.S. For those who are in Angeek rom, you can skip STEP1 and directly go to STEP2.
Thanks to wanamsmile, Cooleagle, Kataria.Vikesh and off-course Ardatdat
[Collection] Custom Boot Animations
This post will be updated regularly with boot animations compatible for Samsung Galaxy R ICS.

Man I am unlucky. Last night I spend 3 hrs getting this done and today I find a tutorial. Damn!!
But good job Selva. :good::good: Tutorial like this are very helpful.
Hey btw, I found an article last night on SIII forum where the developer(freeza) says that interchanging bootanimation and samsungani(I am guessing wanansmile used this hack) had a side effect, atleast in SIII. His solution seems a lot better and cleaner. It doesn't require any changes to bootanimation or samsungani. He just handles it with init script changes. I tested it last night, it works perfect on MIUI rom. Ofcourse we need to add 'stop bootanimation service on boot_complete' to the init script. He did not mention that in his guide but maybe its not required for SIII.
Here the guide for reference. I hope this helps.

Thanks for the info buddy. Yeah i added stop boot animation service in init.rc script for preventing the infinite boot loop. Was going thru wanamsmile's modded kernel and checking for mods he done and finally found that he used the stop service to make it work. I will try with the above suggested method too buddy. :highfive:

[GUIDE] How to make your Own Custom Bootanimation
Hey Selva Buddy,
Please add this one in OP & if possible please change it to HOW TO make your own custom boot animation.
This is tutorial of HOW TO make your own Custom boot Animations:
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. 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. So 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:

Selva buddy I want to ask if these boot animations are for hdpi screens??coz I m using android reactor animation,but it seems of poor quality...So pls if you can post hdpi animation it'd be nice

These bootanimations are for hdpi screens only buddy. Poor quality is because in some bootanimations, the pictures used are not of high clarity. Thats why u may find it bit pixelated in some animations. Will update some more high quailty pic contained boot animations.
Are you sure you didn't missed any step? I did all as in your tutorial, tried Nexus ICS boot animation...it did change to Nexus ICS boot animation but got stuck in boot loop... actually i can hear sounds by pressing on my display and have vibrations but animation is still playing over...

Dude try to Download and Flash Ardatdat's kernel (either 4.1 or 4.2 beta 6) from link whch selva has provided in OP, my self also had the same problem but after flashing the Ardatdat's kernel 4.2 beta 6 it's work like charm..
Hope this will work for you....:good:

Yeah, I'm already on Ardatdat's 4.2 beta 6 (1GHz) since it came...lucky for me i made cwm backup... can it be because i'm on TheFrankenstain^MOD 4.0.2? Or is the kernel that Selva supplied modified?

Yes Dude selva had modified the kernal to support the custom boot animation's that's why i told you to patch the kernal which provided by Selva in op post.:good:
