Never installed a boot ani standalone... do you just install from zip while in recovery, or put it in a folder and apply using theme manager?
Any chance we could see a SkyRaider Athena boot ani as well? =]

Depends which type of rom youre using...i cant remember the damn folder for aosp/cm roms but sense/senseless roms is in system/customize/resource...change to VZW_bootanimation.zip. you have to use root explorer to move then restart

Figured it out. After making the previous post, I went through and found some info on it.
First I tried to just install from ZIP via Recovery, didn't work.
Then I used adb push, and on first attempt tried /data/local. This didn't work either.
Finally (and what I do every time now) I did the adb push to the following three directories:
/system/media/bootscreen (I think this one is unnecessary and mainly used for .gif)
/system/media (believe this is the one that worked for the dinc)
/data/local (just in case)
Since figuring this out, I have been playing around with creating boot animations of my own:
1st: sonic the hedgehog rolling, spinning, and then stopping at an android logo.
2nd: a "rick roll" - series of screens of "What Rick Astley will never do" LMAO
3rd: Sonic (2 screens) putting on his glove (better graphic than the 1st)
4th (and current): Guile doing a flashkick followed by Ryu doing hurricane kick.
Rick roll sounds hilarious would love to see that lol

So for aosp Roms just name it bootscreen? Or VZW_bootanimation.zip?
*It's IncREDible*
Any chance on some previews?
Ok first off these should only be named "bootanimation.zip" for the Inc. The only reason this would change is if you have some off beat ROM... but that would be weird and annoying. Next is these should be installed at /system/media for most roms however this can change from rom to rom so its best to ask your roms developer if your not sure. I should have previews as links but I'm not sure cause I am sending this from my phone so i.ll have to check later. This thread will receive an update soon. Btw if you find a good YouTube that would make a good boot ani (no sound) you can post a link to it here. If you can't post links yet put the name of the video and who it was posted by and ill review it and see about making a boot ani from it. Anything that has any inappropriate content such as drugs or sexual content will be ignored all together.
Redemption and Redemption Revolution both have theirs called VZW_bootanimation.zip and VZW_Droid.mp3. They go in the system/customize/resource folder.
Hey all, buying an XT720 today.
Looking to get it up from 2.1
What is the most stable update at the moment?
I have done CM 6.1 on a HTC Dream, was pretty happy with it.. would like to get up to 2.3 on this..
Suggestions? I am using Wind Mobile in Canada for this phone if it makes a difference.
James
Hi
Their are choices cm6 is very stable
I would try flfalcon cm7.
Their are J.Y.Daddy cm7 these were made for the motorio to use these you would need to apply bootfix.
J.Y.Daddy even ported miui ics 4.01.
You need check out the development page.

I also have a list of most of the ROMs and their +/-'s. Ill find the link and post it. I'm mobile now so can't find it that way.
Im on wind also and i truthfully find bravo the best.... everything is really stable and HD cam and whatnot works
Here is a somewhat dated list but a list nonetheless and here is the thread it came from.

There are a host or ROMs for this phone right now and it is quite hard to narrow down to "The Best". Each as their own +/-'s and while one might be a monster in speed, it might have poor muti-tasking or bad camera. Here are some of the ROMs we have and some of the +/-'s they have (not all, just some +/-'s).
In no particular order other than the top came out first and bottom is the latest.
2.1 Stock - Came with the phone. You can falsh via RSDlite the sbf file for your region.
2.1 Stock~ESB (Eclair Strikes Back) - Same as above, but has aorking app2ext, camera, FM Radio. Still it is 2.1
Dexters 2.2 with MZ patch - First successful attempt to port 2.2 to our phones. All features of 2.2 but camera is sketch and FM radio doesn't work (unless you apply FJfalcon radio patch but then it is still loud), media button doesn't work.
Kahlpower's V2/3/4 - Optimized version of Dexters. Same issues as above but is more stable and generally was the choice as a "home" ROM for many users. I have my wife on this one as we speak. Low maintenance, a good everyday driver. Has App2ext/ Link2sd, native Froyo App2sd.
Cincinnati Bell's "official" 2.2 - More or less a glorified version of Dexters 2.2 but I think the Mioz7AE found a "listening" script that may or may not send info back to developer. I would stay away from this one. Plenty more to choose from.
Wanhu 2.2 (also Wanhu's Kahl's Optimized) - Korean port of 2.2. FM radio and camera does work. Number formatting is off. App2ext works fine as does native Froyo app2sd.
XDA Special/ Hellmonger Edition - This was moveing really well and then Hellmonger's phone crapped out on him and his carrier gave him an HTC Penache, so no more support for this one. But is DOES work and worth a try.
CM6 - our developer Mioze7Ae's masterpiece (for now until he moves on to something else) All the features of CM6, including themer. Has App2ext and Link2sd.
WIPs
Brianlili's Brovo 2.2 - This one is almost done, jsut a few little thing to finish it off.
JYDaddy's CM7 (nightly/ HoNo/ iceandfire...)
FJfalcon's CM7.1 (make massive progress daily on this one as it is being built from source).
Like I said there are +/-'s to each but the are all spelled out for you in the OP of each thread. Plus, unlike other phone forums, we actually answer your questions and dont respond with, "search".
Good luck and remember to always BACK UP.

Where is this Bravo??
Also I have rooted..
but I have not found a good guide on Openrecovery. (EDIT) got this done, went through ADB shell.
I unzip the the openrecovery to the sd card.. gives me openrecovery.zip a directory and an images directory.
SO then to flash a new rom I just put the .zip file in the updates directory.. and bingo bongo?
Going to try Cyanogenmod 7.1 first.. not sure where to find the brovo? bravo? mentioned.

All ROMs and Mods are in the Dev thread.
I vote for CM6 RC3 / RC4
it's by far the most stable & fast which allows you to run most resources intensive games

Nandroid and battery
I just bought an XT720 (Rooted and unlocked)
Is there any way to change the battery level increments from 10% to something more exact like 5% and how do we create a Nandroid back up?
I also want to install bravo2.2 do I need to do a factory reset before installing this rom?
I am running stock rom 2.1
Well if its Rooted, then you should have Open Recovery on it.
When you boot the phone hold VOL up and it will boot in OR...
or when you power off.. it should give you the option to reboot into RECOVERY.
There are lots of threads on here about OR .. but if you follow the menus you should be fine.. on an XT720 you push the camera button (big one) to accept a selection in the OR menu.
You can back up - which will save EVERYTHING.. a Nandroid backup is the best thing to store away somewhere should you mess up your phone.
YES you will have to loose everything when switching from 2.1 to (anything else)
If you are just updating to a newer build of something you put on.. then no.
You do the RESET and clear caches etc.. in OR.
Do a search its all on here .. usually the first page of whatever rom you want to TRY.
Have fun.
James
Thanks for the reply, time to install some rom's
Hilarious...after wading thru a few hundred pages of replies on this phone and the various roms, I completely missed your thread here James which is about as close to what I'm trying to accomplish as imaginable..
I posted some of my saga over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399242
Do you mind me asking James/BikerBob...how did you make out? Anything I should know (if you have a sec read my long winded post lol!)
Did you have 3G/Wifi switching issues with stock, or maybe you didn't bother testing that / noticed it..before rooting I mean..
thnks!
(don't know if mods merge threads in this forum but mine is probably a candidate! sorry!)

No, kernal(maybe driver) can't support 5% or 1% percentage battery level.
OK, so I decided that changing the SD card to a class 10 might help app usage ..
I copied the old sd card to the new one.. and if I try and get into OR .. I get the exclimation mark in triangle instead of the OR logo.
What do I need to do to get back into OR? do I need to RE-Root?
James
If you don't have it already, grab Mioze's modded OR for the xt720 & follow the instructions. If that's all you did was to switch sdcards there should be no need to redo everything.
Sorry, never mind the OR issue, my bad.
I have played with this too much.. lol.. get things mixed up..
I had the OpenRecovery.zip from one version mixed with the directory of the other..
Jezz
OR runs from the files on the sdcard (the openrecovery folder & openrecovery.zip) if something is corrupted (or missing) you wont be able to boot into OR.

VIDEO IN POST 2
First things first
S-off and Root required.
At the moment, Aroma scripted Roms are not yet compatible on slot 2, unless restoring from a Nand backup, which is pre configured
IF YOU WANT FULL DUAL BOOTING ENSURE SECOND ROM IS "GAPPS INSTALLED" AND WITH WORKING INTERNET {DATA/WIFI}
1. ensure your happy with the current state of your main/daily rom
2. NAND - back it up
3. download, install and configure either the free https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.drx2.bootmanager.lite&feature=search_result boot manager lite app
or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.drx2.bootmanager&feature=search_result the pro version
4. NAND - back it up (not necessary, but advised)
5. download your secondary rom zip
6. open your downloaded bootloader app and slide accross to slot 1
7. install your chosen rom (do not wipe anything on first install)
DO NOT BOOT SECONDARY ROM
8. NAND - back it up, again (if your low on sd space, delete your earliest nand, and then next etc etc)
9. open boot manager when booted, and slide to slot 1, and boot rom
10. "Ta da". your now dual booting,
If you find that your phone can't create boot.IMG , navigate to the root of your sd, find the boot.IMG file, delete it, then restart bootmanager , and it should create it without problems
if you ever run into problems, pull the battery, boot to hboot, select recovery, and flash the update.zip inside the phoneRom directory. It writes your backed up boot image. thanks too $MyName for making this common knowledge
PLEASE READ, ALL INFO HERE
http://init2winitapps.com/stories/BMManual.html
IF YOU FIND YOU CANT SWITCH BETWEEN ROMS, ITS BECAUSE YOUR NOT SIGNED INTO GOOGLE , AND OR YOU DONT HAVE A DATA/WIFI CONNECTION,
BUT DONT WORRY, WE MADE BACK UPS, IF YOU WANT TO GO TO YOUR FIRST ROM AGAIN, JUST RESTORE YOUR NAND
Thanks to Pauly_k , for bringing the app to my attention
question regarding the nand for the phone rom: htc evo, smelkis 4.3 recovery, option to nand should include or exclude RECOVERY?
SO which would be better. I'm wondering if I should use CM7 to run as my main rom, than dual boot a JB rom boot manager lite. I still haven't gotten this to work, so which should my main OS be?

I love the cid ironman boot animation thing on the cm9 build. Been looking around and trying and doing the whole media, replacing bootanimation zip, etc...but my cm10 stable keeps crashing.
anyone have any idea where and how this can be done?
well if youre just trying to change the boot anim, you can download rom toolbox (if you dont already own that wonderful app) and either choose from the ones they have, or get the bootanimation.zip from cm9 and do it from the app. works like a charm
So I've been Googling and Googling, but can't find anything on how to implement sounds within CM11 Theme-compatible Boot Animations; is it possible, and do any ROMs for the OnePlus One even support it??
I've tried even circumventing the CM11 Theme Engine completely and just added a line into the desc.txt file to see the OGG file in system/media, but all to no avail.
Any insight into this would be GREATLY appreciated!! I'm trying to see if I can get this to work in this boot animation, and there is surprisingly little current documentation on this that I could find.
So nothing then I guess? Has anyone found anything on this at all?
Did you try to edit build.prop
There a line that disable boot sound change it from 1 to 0 or the upside I don't know exactly

Thanks for providing some info Madkita!
I did see that option, but I was hoping for a more universally usable option, like something that could be loaded in any ROM with an APK, and without a root hack for those not rooted. I think it might just not be possible that way, so I'll have to abandon this after all.
Could you just add a apk file or make a boot animation with it included?

- Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime 5.1
- Samsung S2 CM 12.1
- Nexus 5 5.1
- Nexus 7 5.2

- LG P690B 2.3.4.
- HTC One

It would have to be an APK file for that to work, or maybe an installer ZIP like the one I use for my ctOS Boot Animation.
Either way, the boot sound file is named differently across ROMs, so without creating a script to figure out if the ROM supports it and what the subsequent file is named, I'm really not sure how to best do this.
That being said, if anyone has any ideas of how best to universally implement something like this, I'm all ears! And if anyone wants to take a stab at compiling something for my ctOS Boot Animation, I'll happily put up a bounty of $20 for the first person who can make a CM11/CM12 boot animation sound work across all devices.
