Here is the full screen honeycomb boot animation. I noticed people were having problems with one that wasn't filling up the whole screen.
I have tested this on my Droid X running Liberty 1.5. Not sure if it's universal so if someone could comment on if this is working on other phones that would be great. I am not responsible for any damages to your phone.

If you like my work, please help me get through college:
Thanks for doing this it looks great!
I don't have liberty, can you flash this via clockwork?
Works on Rubix focused, thanks! Didn't flash via clockwork.
Used root explorer to copy the zip to system/media and rebooted, started right up. The animation almost gave me a seizure though...
been looking for a nice animation this one will do thanks alot
I'm glad you all like this!

Honeycomb boot animation
Save bootanimation.zip to root of sd card
Using root explorer or something similar, go to data/local and delete the current file named bootanimation.zip
Now go to the SD card and then copy the file bootanimation.zip and go back to data/local and paste the file there
restart phone and enjoy new animation
Very nice, this even works on the stock rom that's been deodexed.
Thank you sir!
Glad to hear it. Hoping I can get this working on gingerbread since they decided not to change the boot animation

Howdy all, I'm sure this might have been done before however I have been bored today since my gf is on vacation with her family and made a custom boot image for my nexus. I'm going to try to add Nexus text in there somewhere, once I find one that I like. Its very simple and very small, I've just always been a big fan of the matrix
Anyway its fullscreen not partial, blue matrix code. Its in a zipfile so it must be pushed to the phone. Remember to back-up your current if you push this file.
how?

Hi. I love it. Where do I push it to?
Thanks
/data/local
Unless you are running the kang o rama froyo rom, make a folder called bootanimation on your sd card and put the zip in there.
Or using root explorer navigate to data/local and paste in there, be sure and back up your stock or already custom image.

Would you happen to have or be able to make the original Green Matrix code bootanimation? That would bee so awesome.
Sure can, I'll get after that today.

dude how do i make a boot image? i was thinking about making one like a bomb going off...or pacman or something
Its rather easy actually, all your image files must be .png format and in a folder how you want them to run, then you need a desc.txt stating resolution, frames per second and if you want it to loop or not, as well as the folder name you want it to run, all that must then be zipped up with no compression and placed in data local

I went through all these steps, but I still can't get it to work. This is the first time I'm trying to change my boot animation so I might be missing something.
I unzipped the file and placed it in data/local using root explorer. I'm running stock froyo with custom recovery.
Any help would be great, thanks.
EDIT: I got it! Thanks.
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.
------------------------------------------------------------
Preview:
Click for full size
------------------------------------------------------------
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)

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.

Hi,
i just flashed cognition 4 to my captivate and i want to get a custom boot animation on it but i can't find the default one in my phone using root explorer. Is it in a different place on cognition 4? Thanks
According to the actual ROM features for Cognition 4.3.1:
- Boot animation customizable (disables boot sound)
Question is, where is the bootanimation.zip on this ROM?
I tried searching for it through Root Explorer but couldn't find it at the /data/local folder.
I also tried within the /system/media folder and I did find a bootsamsung.qmp, bootsamsungloop.qmg, which I guess are the stock samsung animations for the boot screen.
How to change the boot screen on Cognition 4.3?
I would also like to know how to change the boot animation on cognition 4. I have been all over the forum but cannot find any helpful information.
Custom Boot Animation
All you have to do is put the "bootanimation.zip" file directly into the system/media folder. It will overwrite the default animation.
You can also change the shutdown animation by replacing the "shutdown" folder in system/media/video. (For example, check out this mod... Download the shutdown.zip, extract it, then replace the existing system/media/video/shutdown folder with it.)
That would normally work but it isn't working for 4.3.1 cog, because there is no zip to replace.

It doesn't matter that you're not replacing an existing bootanimation.zip. Just stick it in there anyway and it should work. It worked for me.

IF YOU HAVE ONE OF MINE, OR SOMEONE ELSES WHO MADE IT INTO AN INSTALLABLE .ZIP DO NOT INSTALL IT. It wont break your phone, but it will just be a blank screen untill the phone is ready.
Basically the old install files (which i first made) had a file from the r2d2 /system/bin/ which enabled sound. If you put that file in GB it will not work.
Now its simple, just take the bootanimation.zip out of the file, and place in system/media. Then take android.mp3 and place it into /system/media/audio/notifications/.
Make sure nothing is in /data/local and BOOM new animation with sound.
Later in this thread ill upload a few of mine, set up for gingerbread.

hey everyone. I know Krylon adjusted a kernel to KB5 that allows bootanimation.zip and I'm sure we'll see a lot to come here soon, but I'm on KD1 and really was getting tired of the pinks.
This contains a .rar that has the .png's and the .qmg's and everything. It was originally for the I9000. Just the sparkling s. pretty neat, all in all.
1 ) in \System\Media\ - replace bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg. These are the bootup animation screens.
2 ) in \System\Media\Video\Shutdown\ - replace all the .png and a .cfg. These are the shutdown screens.
3 ) in \System\Etc\ - replace PowerOn.wav. This is the bootup sound.
4 ) in \System\Media\Audio\ui\ - replace shutdown.ogg. This is the shutdown sound.
I used Super Manager, but i'm sure root explorer works, too. If you ARE using Super Manager, be sure to enable Root in settings and switch to R/W.
I'll be sure to hit that thanks button when I get to my pc.
Been looking for this for a while now.

When I tried to overwrite the poweron.wav, I got an error stating PASTE FAILURE - that there was not enough disk space to complete the paste operation. The new file(galaxy S) is 862k and the original file (4g) is only 296k. How do I free up extra space?

GOOOOOD RIDDENS PINK SISSY ANIMATION AND SOUNDS.!!!
Worked like a charm!
figured it out
When I pushed the shutdown folder into the /system/media/video folder, it didn't overwrite the original folder. So, I had the previous animation .png files AND the new shutdown folder. Anyway, deleted the old stuff (and freed up space) now it works great.
Thanks a million!!! I hated that pink crap!

I decompressed the .rar and deleted & replaced all the files using File Expert as listed in OP but I think I'm missing something. I don't have boot or shutdown sounds. Also I have a new boot animation but an all black shutdown. Phone is operating fine with no force closures. I just wanted to make sure it went through ok. Thanks for the hard work!

Robbbbit, thank you very much for this informative post! For the benefit of other noobs, I just want to point out that the "\" should be "/" and the directory names are lowercase.
I was using adb shell to copy the originals onto my sdcard before making the change (you know, just trying to play it safe). And when I typed in "cp /System/Media/Audio/ui/* ." -- I got an error. Then I noticed my problem.
Again, thank you for helping to get rid of the annoying pink-i-ness!
