New custom boot animation cm6 and nightly.

I made this boot animation to finish off my my theme. I thought this would be cooler then having my hero show the droid boot animation. Maybe I'll move off the andro tux stuff and bother you guys with other stuff.
Sorry I don't have the animated gif for you guys when I output the layers to indexed mode it flattens your image and then I saved (I was hella tired)... So I do have the layers but not the ones I put together to make the animation.
The animation goes like this.. the logo flashes and then tux blinks at your while the progress bar spins until your booted.
Just flash this file from recovery.

Edit works on 8/22 I used the faster animated one thanks

Ok so I rebuilt this and flashed it to my phone again and its fine. I'm sorry if this cause a any FC's maybe it was a bad d/l... the second version is a faster animated version. I promise this boot animation is fine.

Phone is a hero and the rom is aosp rc1 or nightly... should work on either... sorry if assumed rc1/ nightly cm6. In fact this should work on a sense rom also can't guarantee tho maybe some can verify.
Are you still have issues? This only replaces your boot animation zip in the system/ media folder. Check to see that that is being replaced.
Thank you cp002. Glad you liked it. Looking for some more ideas.

Got it working you were right the system media wasn't being replaced used root explorer to delete the old boot zip booted into recovery and flashed this worked like a charm I'm loving this man and my wife gets a huge kick out of it thanks a mil man I'm going to try and replace my HTC splash screen with the tux one as well. This lil dude is cool.

Great to hear I like my Android to not be so serious... doesn't seem to be a hit yet. Odd that the media folder does that sometimes.

Thanks so much for all of your boot animations!!!

woot woot... your welcome.

Looking for a good, recent bootanimation.zip tutorial

Been trying to make my own and I keep getting a black screen only. I'm not sure if it's the png files I'm winding up with, or my desc.txt but it's not really working for me. I know that my kernel supports bootanimation.zip, I've tested this with the angry android one, so it's not that there's no support.
HELP! Thanks in advance.

Can u tell me which kernel are u using mine doesnt work with boot animation

I'm using Bali 2.1 UV. It's had bootanimation support since its first release for the SGS though. I doubt you'd get that working with any stock kernel

Search this very forum for a thread started by bl4ckphenix about boot animations.
It's one of the older threads, back in the kb5 days, when all we had was krylon's kernel for it.

[BOOT] DROID RAZR Boot Animation

DROID RAZR Boot Animation
Just like it sounds...this is the RAZR boot animation resized and optimized for the Incredible. Gotta show some love, the INC was good to me...
Sadly, this file is huge compared to most of the boot animations out there (19.18 MB), but I tested it on my old INC and it looks phenomenal.
Thanks to droidth3ory for the RAZR media dump
AS ALWAYS...
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE AS A RESULT OF USING THIS CONTENT, JUST AS IT IS NO ONE ELSES FAULT FOR ANY DAMAGE I MIGHT DO TO MINE. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW THE RISKS INVOLVED, YA MIGHT JUST BE BETTER OFF STICKING WITH STOCK. It's not that complicated, just do a little research. Plenty of knowledge floating around XDA...
Simple enough:
1:: download the .zip
2:: rename it (using ES File Explorer or Astro or any ROOT EXPLORER that will allow you to MOUNT SYSTEM AS WRITABLE) by simply cutting out the "RAZR_INC_" so that it is just bootanimation.zip. On some ROMs you may need to rename the animation to "VZW_bootanimation.zip" and the audio file to "VZW_Droid.mp3"
3:: copy or cut the bootanimation.zip and paste it in the system/customize/resource folder, or wherever the boot animation file is stored on your particular ROM. For CM7 and AOSP ROMs I think they may be in a different location. RESEARCH IT
4:: if you are warned that the merge will overwrite the existing file and that the world will end... it won't...accept the merge.
REBOOT
DOWNLOAD LINK:
DOWNLOAD
**Audio is attached as well (audio.zip). The timing is not perfect, but it's about as close as I could get it. I have compared it to how it runs on my BIONIC and it's pretty damn close lol.**
UNZIP THE FILE (android_audio.mp3) AND PLACE IT IN THE SAME DIRECTORY AS THE bootanimation.zip
sytem/customize/resource SHOULD WORK
...don't be afraid to use the "THANKS" button...

So is the audio in there?

Need to extract the audio zip to get the mp3 and rename it VZW_Droid.mp3 and put it in the system/customize/resources directory and it should work, it works for me!!

Ok I'm gonna try that

Thanks for this dubsx! I had to rename to VZW_bootanimation.zip on Jermaine's stock+.

FYI - I just pushed this to my Dinc running the PrimeXL-HD Rom by Joelz, the animation is in /data/local and named htc_bootanimation.zip. In case that helps someone else with that Rom or possibly another one running a Sense Rom.
I haven't done anything with the audio file, I don't really care for boot audio so I'm not sure if it will need to be htc_audio.zip or something like that, or if the default name will work.

is that sense 2.3.5? wonder if they changed it when they came out with that...thanks for bringing that up, I will update the OP

For those of you on CM6/7, instructions for enabling sound can be found here:
http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/cyanogenmod/32058-how-add-bootsound-cyanogenmod.html
Not the link I used when I did it, but it is essentially the same thing.
Then just drop the file in /data/local/android_audio.mp3

hopefully somebody can compress and reduce it. I'm sure the images would look identical since most animations are much smaller. this one is nearly 4x bigger than most I use. I don't even use an app that large lol

I rarely ask anything or respond since newbie pretty much. Sorry if posting question in wrong area for this here too. I notice says for Rarz_INC.. Is this just to do for Droid Incredible or could I put animation & sound on my Bionic? I'm getting sort of use to the boot stuff but no pro. I know where to put the Zip and audio and I believe what to mark for permissions and what & to name. Thanks in advance.. You all rock .

[REQUEST] Script/mod/app to randomize bootanimation

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434950
In the gnex forum, they have an awesome script that randomizes boot animations. I think this is very cool and I was wondering if this already exists for our sensation, if not, maybe someone who knows codes can make a flashable script? It seems simple but our roms does not seem to have a init.d support... I have no idea what that is.
So, if this was a repeat of some thread, mod, kindly link it to the correct one. If not, maybe we can use this as some sort of petition? So feel free sign or say +1 or click thanks if this is helpful in some way.
Thank you.

No one wants to make this script work for our sensation? I am surprised this doesn't exist yet at all. Unless I just missed it completely. I already tried asking...very nicely and without spamming...how to get it to work as the original gnex script creator said it can be used on ANY phone in ANY rom as long as the kernel has init.d support. But still no kernel Dev has answered this question. Oh well.

Actually that's just for installing boot animations, and what k8sh says is to have many of them and in every start up it pick up one ramdomly.

That's right. The script assigns a number to each bootanimation zip file and then every boot, you see a different animation. It seems really simple but I have no idea how to get it to work as I don't know much about android codes etc. I'm really surprised no one has picked up on this. I think it is so awesome!

Of course. I already tried. That's why I know it does not work. I'm currently on a rom with sebfms kernel. Either it is rom related or kernel but it definitely has something to do with init.d. folder in the system/etc folder. My current bootanimation is stored in system/media and the script is looking for the files in data/ local. The creator of script said it bypasses the system /media and uses data/local where various bootanimation zips are stored. I don't know. The script is not being called upon boot. I give up. Those who knows how to make it work are not exactly paying attention.

Just taken a look at the script and it is good to go, all you need is your custom bootanimation.zip files in /data/local/bootanimations/
If the script is not being loaded on boot it is because your ramdsk (the other half of boot.zip, 1st half is kernel so kernel + ramdisk = boot.img) doesnt have inbuilt init.d script support

I'm sorry but if people can't read I will start to lose my temper.
It is stated in both the OP of the original thread and in my last post that;
1. You need a ROM that supports init.d script
2. Bootanimations should be renamed to whatever then placed in /data/local/bootanimations/
Seriously how hard is it to read 1 post above yours

You just randomly post unuseful and uninformative comments in threads to be a douche? You achieved your objective.
And yeah I reboot my phone since I go to recovery to flash zips. Ever heard of those? Apparently that concept eludes you.

There is a app I came across called BootRandimation.

I have never used it so I don't know how well it works, but it is supposed to do what you want.

Tried it but it didn't work. I only tested it real quick though. The developer should at least have a trial version as it takes longer than 15 minutes to know how to set it up and reboot. Thanks for the heads up on the app.

Just flashed the 60mb file from the link in op, works fine. But I am running aosp and bricked 1.6 kernel. If your phone runs init.d scripts at boot this will work. Is a nifty idea tho, cos I have 20 different animations so will be a surprise everytime I reboot.

[boot animation] zelda boot animation ^^ V2!

hey guys i just made a Zelda ocarina of time high res intro bootanimation^^
respects go to this video on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8DbnGlpq5M for the base of the boot animation and the sound. Nintendo for the amazing game and me for my time
the video is set to just play, my phone usually boots about half way through it but oh well first time making one ^^
push both files to data/local and all should be grand
also depending on which rom it could also be in system media (cm7 type roms) or in system/customize in some sense roms ^^
also for the wildfire i know the audio cuts. nothing anything i can do
and for users that cant get audio to work with cyanogenmod 7 roms try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364636 although im not sure if this will work on cm7 derrived roms.
that being said i have went back to the drawing board and i feel i have improved these greatly, i removed the n64 intro to improve the sinc with audio and they are far less choppy ^^ but should anyone want to make it faster or slower open the zip, edit the desc.txt file. the last number on the first row if frames per second. ^^ so download time
EDIT: download links added to one rar file. rename your prefered one to bootanimation and use
commments and suggestions please DOWNLOAD
if anyone wants this resized for a different device pm me with the screen specs and ill do my best
