Here Is a little custom boot its not much, when I get a little more time I'll attempt something a little more elaborate.

Requests
If any one has an animated gif they want turned into a boot screen, I'll make it for you. All I need you to do is give me the gif and I'll make it, and put it in a zip for you. If you want sound I'll experiment and see if I can make one.
Here are the three from the second post
*These ARE flashable through cwm recovery!*
for anyone that's curious I am making an Ubuntu boot screen.
Here is a "black stock boot animation" I made upon request.
I used the generic one, worked great! Thanks a lot!
I am glad you liked it .
Man, could you make this into a boot for me?
This is flashable through cwm if you are using an inspire 4g. If you are using it on another phone let me know because I will have to adjust the resolution.
Great man, I appreciate it, but when I tried to flash it, it failed, and when I manually did it, it just shows up a black screen.
I flashed it earlier. I had to wipe restore and then flash it again and it worked. If you made a nandroid back up restore and try to flash again. I promise it works and looks good .
I am using the inspire boot animation keep up the good work.

I like the Generic Inspire, except for the text change from "Inspire 4G" to "Loading..." IMHO, would be better if it just kept repeating "Inspire 4G."
Either way, thanks, it looks great.
wow, Root Explorer FTW, been sitting here trying to copy over my bios boot animation, tried everything from adb push to astro file manager.
Worked first time once I used root explorer and copied to \data\local
Glad I could help !
Hi,
Could you make a boot animation using this image?
This is from a free wallpaper site.
I don't want it to be a flashable file. I need to manually replace a bootanimation file in a specific directory myself for the ROM I'm using.
I think it looks cool, and I'd love it if you can do this.
GT
To be honest with something like that since its not an animated .gif. I would have to use illustrator to vector it then animate it. It would take a while to do. Even if I made it with my 3d program. If you could find an animated gif I would be more then willing to convert it for you and give you the zip.

Hey,
Versions supported for colormod :
MAGIC/HERO/DREAM - 1.6.2 (Waiting for 1.7 sources )
Nexus - 1.7
cliq - 1.6.2
Desire - 1.6.2
Versions supported for noncolormod :
All recoveries, even koush's except you wont see the difference cuz he never calls on the png's
Thanks to amon_ra for his recovery and thanks to all those he thanked
Script is based on the dev kitchen by dsixda. I removed everything that was not needed for this task.
Requirements : Device drivers properly installed
Windows Operating System
Instructions :
1. Download the 7z file and extract.
2. You will get 3 folders and 2 batch files.
3. Run either batch.
INFO:
Noncolormod just allows you to change background image and progressbar
Colormod batch does what the noncolormod does + allows you to customize the colors inside the recovery
Guys 2 tips :
1. If image is layered please flatten it in photoshop or edit in paint.
2. Use this tool to configure a range of colors. Just grab the decimal values and feed in the script.
FYI: This will not work with Koush's recovery as he ignores the background png
PS : Donot ask for assitance from amonra if you are using the repackaged recovery image produced by this script. He WILL ignore u
PS : I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU ARE NOT CAPABLE OF FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS. I EXPECT A DECENT LEVEL OF UNDERSTANDING/TECHNICAL ABILITIES FROM THOSE WHO ARE USING THIS SCRIPT.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Update
*Added menu with additional properties
*Can now flash/boot recovery from menu
*Added option for size check
*Allows customization of progressbars
*Keyboard-console fixed for G1 users
*Text-color customization
*Updatescript color customizable
*ProgressBar height adjustable
*A LOT MORE STABLE
*Thanks to amonra no more trackball issues should occur on Hero
----------------------------------------------------------------
Future Updates Expected:
Will bring this to the droid, cliq and desire
Will try to see what else i can make user-optional

Wow k so im confused. I dont have the device but i saw the source up on his github and this video and assumed you guys also have a working amon-ra recovery.
So upon further reading, you guys have that step2-windows.bat file to run which loads amonra's recovery ? Any way for those asking, all you have to do is place "any" recovery image under /recovery/old and place 2 images under place-image-here named boot.png and boot1.png and run nocolormod.bat file. If you want to edit the colors by running colormod, make sure the recovery image you place under /recovery/old is amonra's recovery. For how-to help, run the batch file and select "How-to"
please...how to flash recovery image?
...help me please.

Hey, im reading up on it. Im reading this and "essentially" he reboots into recovery through fastboot screen and then runs
adb shell nohup /sbin/recovery &
to bring up the menu. I did not realize it was this complicated for desire recovery. I thought its similar to nexus.
As for flashing, in my script i give the option of choosing boot/flash. You can try those, i doubt itll work on desire now tht i think about it.
Daneshm90 for the moment, the recovery for Desire is write protected, we can't change it to another custom recovery, at the moment, we only can launch it from red triangle recovery mode pushing files and using the command that you say.

glad to see you're still around amoamare. awesome stuff..
i remember you back from the mobile-files(R.I.P) days.
i had no interest in bothering to change my boot animation but since this is now so easy.. i'm thinking.. "why not!"
tried this but did not work no idea why great tool
I've seen a few boot animations, but, is there a repository of them somewhere?
I tried to unpack the rar file using androzip but it failed...how exactly do I set this up?

Works just fine, but I have a question.
This doesn't change the boot up animation of the Sprint logo, how do you actually do that?
Good Job man, this is a really useful application. I can change boots sleeping, in a coma, but this is sick for those who cannot do it themselves yet. Keep up the good work. devs like you are what makes xda awesome
Well thanks guys, I just seen that it was on the main page. Yes i will include a way for you to be able to have a silent start up.
Basically just a check box that says "Silent Animation" or something.
Im up for any suggestions on this as well. I will be updating this again in the next few days until then. Here is a screen shot of my current project
This is for cricKet specifically, this particular one is not for release.
This is a screen shot of how the one that will be released will look like.
Basically where it says "Install CKT ROM" will just say "Install ROM" and you wont have "Provision Phone"
This program is designed to help you "Root", "Nand Unlock", Install "Recovery" and Push a "ROM" to your SDCard while further more giving you instructions along the way.
Of course its not for you "Advanced" users who can do this. It's for anyone looking to modify there phone but dont quit understand all the adb cmds.
BTW This is just a idea that I might release it. I haven't thought entirely if i should....
O and about the thread title, i cant change it haha so if a mod wants to change it to something more suitable thats fine.
lol, dont do it, ur tool would make it all too easy!

Forgive me if something similar was already posted, but I did not see a Sensation specific posting of this animation.
I went through and modified the frames to allow for more accuracy in terms of specs for our devices.
Based on gimj01's http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=947688, which in turn is based on frysee's http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=648555.

- power down the sensation
- remove battery and place it in again
- start your phone!

Here are instructions I copied from another boot animation thread (saved me from typing them!!! Lol!)....
Instructions to install:
[NOTE YOU MUST HAVE YOUR DEVICE S-OFF BEFORE ATTEMPTING THIS]
1.Back-up stock boot animation (if you want to) which is found in /system/customize/resource using root explorer or ES file explorer
2.Delete the stock boot animation after backing up and replace it with the bootanimation.zip included in this post in the same directory as before
Then reboot!
Simples!
@AndroTMO
Nice animation by the way, any chance of a Splash screen to match? Perhaps just the Energy Star logo + sensation details (ie the 1st frame of the animantion) with the "HTC quietly brilliant" logo beneath?
awesome bootscreen! got anything for us on the downscreen along similar lines?

This method works perfectly except for one difference for T-mobile users- TMOUS people running the stock ROM need to replace the TMOUS_bootanimation.zip instead of the bootanimation.zip.

FYI- I found the down animations in the same folder as the boot animations.
Thanks for the #11 post.
Now that my device has S-OFF I would like this boot loader.
I see the path you mentioned using root explorer, but not sure how to get the downloaded files from my computer to the directory on the HTC Sensation.
Any advice please?
T.I.A.
All you have to do is connect your phone via USB & drag the file to your SD card. Then, use Root Explorer(market app) to copy them to the proper directory & rename them. Make sure you copy the original animations to somewhere safe on your SD card just in case you need to restore them for any reason.

Happen to remember the name of the .zip that is needed? I no longer have a down anim due to my ROM.
Is it called downanimation.zip
I like it. Unfortunately, it's the wrong resolution for sensation. 480x800 instead of 540x960 so it looks interpolated and blurry ;/
Edit: here's a modded 540x960 version I just whipped up.

I used this one and it looks great, thanks! Just for fun I also took the first image from the boot sequence and flashed that as my splash screen to replace the white screen with HTC on it prior to the boot animation.
Now when I turn on my phone, the splash screen comes up as the Energy Star image with some text, then once it goes to the boot animation it just looks like its still booting up. Kinda cool I think.
Thanks again!

This is not a flashable zip.
Do like. Do like alot!
WAY better than the creepy CID logo where just the very bottom was animated. Dark backgrounds just work better as boot animations. It looks cleaner and more professional somehow.
The only thing I might add is a big "X" (For 10) thats 'slashed' into the background. By slashes I mean something like this Wolverine image...
...only 2 slashes forming an X.
so the circle logo does it's thing, then slash 1, slash 2, and a white glow from behind the background.
tested on cm9...works well
looks more beautiful now:good:

Assuming you have the Sensation, this may not work.. you are 540 x 960px and this is only 800px vertical(portrait)
Not flash'able. Ive done a whole lot of research on this bootani and soo many different people think they can flash it or don't know their screen res or don't see its a file that you choose whether to have it portrait or landscape...(Hence, 15MB+ file..durr) So, what you do is find out your vertical screen res, open the 'vertical' folder, choose your resolution# and there will be a 'bootanimation.zip' there. Move that file to your sdcard, from your sdcard to /system/media, you should have your original bootani there so make sure to save it somewhere handy, then change your permissions to rw-r-r-- once you've moved your new bootanimation there. However, this worked on my Epic 4G, so Idk how this works with other phones but I thought I'd give ya a little guidance!

Originally, this was the vertical 540x540 bootanimation from the original CM download. I edited it to be 540x960, so that it will fit Sensation/Amaze 4g and any other phone with that resolution. If you want to apply to it on a different phone, TRY and edit the desc.txt file to your phones resolution then rezip the file with "store" compression. No promises that it will fit perfect though.
Good lord, people. Its a boot animation, not a space shuttle launch.
Just try it and see if it works on your phone's screen size. If it doesnt it will either look wacky or you will get the stock ANDROID boot animation. But tbe phone will still boot, at which point you can change the non working animation to something else
You cant screw up your phone by trying it.
If you have a sensation, this .zip animation works. Period.
It doesnt matter what rom you are running or what version of the rom you are running.
If you want to use it on ARHD, AOKP,CM, or even stockroms, it will work. Bootanimations are not rom specific. (Though sense roms store the animation files in a different spot than aosp roms)

Here.
They have this on the Galaxy SIII forum as a flashable zip. I pulled the bootanimation.zip file out of the flashable zip and just posted it here as a regular bootanimation file that can be copied using ES File Explorer or the like.
It's a 540x540 file but I assure you it works. I've already installed it and looked at it. Android will center the animation on the screen. it doesn't need to be 540x960 natively.
Put it in /system/media and change the permissions to give it read write and execute permissions. Enjoy.
If you really want the flashable zip the Galaxy SIII forum is here. But it's like 10 times faster to just move the file using File Explorer.

That's where I got this from. So credit to JackMu95.
Welcome!
Soo, it's time for some more custom blingbling..! - Pictures of each will be below.
I will continue on from my easy and sexy Umbrella Corp splash! (Link in sig) - If you want some links and info on how to do these, please read in the comments of that thread, I also gave thanks to the people who needed it, in there.
I'll do a quick install guide plus some info on when these splashscreens will not work for you. There's happened a lot since the GB days, sadly.. So this will take some time for you to do. Involving some ROM flashing and so on. :/ Sorry. - If you're on a stock ICS rom, you may get away without flashing any roms around, since it's.. Stock Samsung..
Install and explanation + short troubleshoot, yeah..
Okay.. You're on some awesome rom like AOKP or Asylum or CM10, when you realize you could do with a new, fun splashscreen. This is where you need to stop and think about it.. Is it worth downloading and flashing an old firmware just for this? If it is, keep on reading. The idea of this CWM flash is to rewrite the param.lfs file inside /system/mnt/.lfs, in order to do so, we sadly need an older stock GB firmware. You will get back to your daily driver afterwards, but this step is needed. So.. Yeah.. Make sure you don't get the triangle on the flash. There are numerous ways to avoid this.. Mobile Odin being a really sexy one. If the param.lfs file isn't rewritten, it won't take your custom splash .jpg into consideration and you will be stuck with a "draw_fail_logo01 as your splashscreen. This won't in any way damage the device, it just really sucks and will require you to reflash an old GB rom anyways in order to even get the old GT-N7000 splash back. So yeah.. If you wanna do this, do it right from the beginning to save yourself some time.
But hell, we're all flashing pro's, amirite?
So.. Proper root and yellow triangle is all that will stop you from flashing these.
Basically what this file does: Replaces one jpg with another jpg + a path to said jpg. Once you reboot the device, it will no longer show GT-N7000 before it goes to the bootanimation, it will show something cool.
Installation steppy-steps
1. Download an old GB rom, since these are the ones you can rewrite the param.lfs file on.. The ICS and Jelly ones, doesn't allow for this. :/ - Make a nandroid backup before, ofc. if you wanna keep your stuff.
2. If it isn't rooted, root it. I recommend CF-root since you also get CWM that way. Most important thing is that you don't get the triangle.
3. Download one of my .rar's and unrar it.
4. Copy the contained .zip onto your device.
5. Flash it in CWM.
6. Reboot into your super awesome NEW GB rom and check out all the features and uhh, don't forget to check if the splashscreen worked.
7. Wipe data, system and cache and do a CWM restore to your ICS/Jelly rom.

Remember that at any point, you can unrar my archives and replace my image with something else, just keep the .jpg name. I've heard rumors that it will max fit 3 4ths of the screen. So full screen isn't possible. I keep them in this ratio simply because they are made from the original screen, back in the day when I made the first one. It is centered and it makes for a fine fit.
Thanks for reading, enjoy them.
