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.

first copy bootanimation.zip on your SDCard
run terminal

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.

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.

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...

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

For all of the Fallout fans, I just finished putting this together. I had to shrink the bootanimation though, it was to big at just half screen, the phone wouldn't even load it....
[Splash]
Put it on the SD card, reboot into hboot, flash it (only flashes the image, does not delete data)
[Animation]
Stock users; place in /system/customize/resource and overright the stock (or rename it as a backup)
Rom users; place it in the /data/local directory, and rename it to bootanimation.zip
Currently working on getting a boot sound to put on the stock but it's being a pain.........
EDIT: Modified the time abit on the animation

So, I'm guessing this isn't good to go?
Looking forward to trying it out though.
It's good to go now, still working on the sound. Anyone know the exact sample rate of the original file?
The splash is working great but not the animation. I'm on RCMixHD Kingdom ROM and put the file in the data/local directory but I still get the HTC animation. Is the location it needs to go ROM specific?
lookin in to that...
I got it working. Had to put it in the customize/resource folder.
I like it but the video is really small.
I really like the splash though
+1 on the splash - cant wait to show it to my kid.

Hey there,
I'm Will, Im a noob here, I work in motion graphics for a living. I promise not to step on your lawn.
I've been tinkering with my new phone (Galaxy S3) to try and make it look like a pip boy 3000. I also thought it would be cool to have the Boot animation be similar to the games, so I had a go at creating my own [Sorry cant post URLs Yet] problem is I cant figure out how to change it on the S3.
The file formate is QGM and I havent been able to find much on how to create them.
I was wondering if you might be able to help? or maybe your interested in collaborating? :highfive:
Let me know if you want to see the one I have done and I can Email you a link.
works
so far it works pretty well!
I know this is stupid question but can i use this bootanimation on my SGS3 GT-I9300? I asked this because i was looking for different animation and i found fallout 3 animation for sgs3 on youtube. Here's the link : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJF9YIOkyzo
thanks before
Like some people, I missed the little 'droid boot animation from my HTC Hero.
So I've made one for my Sensation...
As you can see from the YouTube clip above, it's a re-work of the original Hero boot
It's available to download from here : https://sites.google.com/site/techbobbins/home/articles/retrograde-sensation
It also incorporates the black HTC "quietly brilliant" graphic already available on XDA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193798&highlight=black+htc) - so credit where that is due (mexxxico)
Just put the .zip & .mp3 into /data/local (or just the .zip if you don't want the noise!)
NOTE: This animation was created for use (initially) with ARHD 1.1.8 - if your bootanimation.zip goes elsewhere, put it (and the mp3) in the relevant location.
splash.img is obviously just the splash image, and instructions for getting that up are here...
UPDATE: I have now (30/08/2011) released V2.0, in which I have :
updated the main animation to be reflected (although I have not yet made the 'droid character reflect!)
reduced the .zip by 176K (size matters!)
amended the timings slightly to (IMO) better match the sound
removed the 'non-reflected' splash image - only the reflected one is available now
NB: Someone noted the reflected text is hard to see - it's as close as I could get it to the Hero one, and thus is very faded - if you tilt the top of your phone toward your eyes and "look down" on the phone, you'll definitely see it
Hope you like it
pushed the bootanimation only, it works great and looks great! thanks so much!
Welcome
When I get some more time, I'll add the faded mirror text under Sensation (like it was on the Hero originally) - but for a first stab, I'm happy
Ow, so lovely Thanks you made this, mate! That was the only thing I missed about my Hero!
Great work! Best boot animation for sensation so far!

this works on 2.3.4?
I can't get different boot animations to work. I place them in the /data/local folder, but nothing changes when I restart my phone. Also tried placing them in the /system/customize/resource folder... But nothing. Anyone know what gives?

It should, but as I'm running ARHD, I've not (yet) gone to 2.1.0 to try it.

If you are rooted (which you presumably are), get an adb shell up and run
Code:
find / -name *animation.zip
It will return any file ending animation.zip (such as bootanimation.zip) with the full path. If you have a TMOUS for example, I believe they put their file in the resource dir, whereas ARHD lives in /data/local
Find your existing one, and put your chosen ones in that location with the same name - just backup the old one first

mp3 file
hi,ive got the bootanimation to work but im finding it very very hard to get the sound working also,ive tried putting it in data/local didin't work...ive now got bootanimation in system/customize/resource and works PERFECTLY,i've tried puttin the mp3 file in system/media/ringtones........NO JOY........i've set permission to RW-R-R. Please could u tell me what i've done wrong........THANKS
It seems some custom roms vary.
Mine (ARHD) is quite happy in /data/local - called android_audio.mp3
Try calling it android.mp3, and putting in the resource directory.
Also, you don't need to reboot to try it, you can simply run adb shell, and run "bootanimation" from the # prompt
This thread (here) shows the anim being renamed as well, so it's a bit rom dependant!
Happy hunting though!

UPDATE: There is now a second splash image (splash_reflection.img) which has the Hero-style reflected text. I've yet to update this to the rest of the animation but it'll be coming...

Very good boot. Any plan to update?
If you do, any chance you can modify the splash/boot so that when transition is smoother?
Also, the Quitly Brilliant "Sound" is a little late compared to the animation.
Does the build.prop determine default file name and location for resources like splashes and boot animations?

Can't modify the splash/boot transition timing...
The splash.img is a ROM item (BMP converted directly from one of the JPGs in the anim), and the 1st graphic frame of the animation is the same dimensions/image (barring reflection) - it's how the phone O/S cuts over....
I should be able to work on the sound/sync - it's the exact audio file from the Hero, which I don't want to play with - so I may be able to shorten (or speed up ) the Sensation fade out so the audio is in quicker.
re: updating in general - I do plan to, but am a bit busy atm!

Hi everyone
There is a new CM boot animation provided by 73v1n and it looks really nice. Honestly, I like this very much, more than that of the old CID CM9 animation (that one makes me sick).
This boot animation has a simple design, with a running arc reactor(?) with the cyanogenmod title right in the middle. It does not imply the exact version, so I think this is also suitable for CM9 users.
I hope devs can incoporate this nice animation into their future CM nightlies
Credit goes to 73v1n :laugh:
How to install:
1. Download the compressed file "CM10ZipSaves.zip"
2. Decompress the bootanimation.zip from the directory CM10ZipSaves.zip/Vertical/800
3. Copy bootanimation.zip to system/media by Root Explorer or any other file explorer
4. You are good to go!

Yeah, the new boot animation is way better than the CM9 version. Anyways, here is a flashable version. Choose the HD version.
Cheers.
