Retro Boot Animation - Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps

I saw this retro boot animation and edited it for the Asus Transformer.
Here is a Gif of it:

I tested it and its working.
EDIT: Changed memory to 16GB and changed ending animation to a ASCII honeycomb
EDIT2: ADDED ASUS LOGO
EDIT3: Added a 32GB version just remove 32GB from the front of the filename.

That is awesome.

Cool. I will try when I get home.

If anyone has any other changes they can think of or would like, let me know.

Love it. Looks awesome!

Cool! You beat me to it! You also have to remove the barometer from the devices list. Could you make one that still has the ASCII android guy?

Cool thanks

Had time to install today. I love it!

32GB 3.1 Retro boot animation
Since curtisbeef stopped updating it and Roach only edited the 16GB version of the bootanimation for Prime 1.4/1.5, I took it upon myself to edit a 32GB version of HC 3.1 bootanimation. Have fun.

Transformer Specs
Does anyone have specific chip models/specs for the TF101?
I wanted to customize the retro boot screen for myself (and others if it turns out nice). I looked around and found Iconia specs, but not Transformer. Thanks!
Here is what I found for the Iconia:
Camera Module CHICONY 2M FF CBFA233 FPC Micro SOC2031 MIPI COB
Camera Module LITEON 5M AF 10P1SA505 FPC OV OV5650 MIPI CSP
16G version : eMMC SanDisk Memory eMMC SDIN4C2-16G 32nm
32G version : eMMC SanDisk Memory eMMC SDIN4E2-32G 43nm
IC Hynix Memory H8TJR00X0MLR-0YM 44nm
WiFi Module AZUREWAVE 802.11n Bluetooth FM AW-NH611 802.11bgn single band
HH CPU nVidia Tegra 250 BGA 664 1GHz

what font do you use?
I know this is kind of an old thread, but I wanted to update the boot animation myself and ended up wondering which font is used in the animation - and yes, i did google it!

Can you replace the boot animation without being rooted ?

You don't need root but you need ADB.
You can push the bootanimation.zip to data/local
This will leave your original bootanimation.zip alone, the device will scan data/local first and if it see a bootanimation.zip
there that's the one it use. To revert back to the original bootanimation, use ADB to remove the one in data/local.

Actually if you have root it's even easier. Don't flash via CWM
You could use ADB or if you have a file manager with root access you can manually move the file to
data/local or to replace the original in system/media.

i'm not going to root my phone until after the 2.2 OTA is released at the end of the month. any way i can get a zip with the bootanimation and mp3 to push to my phone?

It's not letting me unzip the .mp3, saying unknown format.

well you don't need root to push to your phone. so you can always push it afterwards.
the .mp3 zip won't uncompress. it keeps telling me that it's an unknown format.

you don't uncompress it. you just remove the .zip extension.
but as of now I can't get the audio to work correctly so its useless. i am going to pull the file now.
And also, the original is better than the CM version. the transitions are better.
Any way we can get it to show just red like the cyan version?
I'm running PMF v1.2 OTA version and can't seem to get this working. I've adb push'd the bootanimation.zip to /data/local with no luck and also to /system/media where PMF keeps it to no luck as well. Every boot I get a black screen till the OS is loaded. Anyone have any suggestions?
The only difference I can think of is that I did apply the OTA but that's lower level than the bootsplash...
Don't know if this helps or not, but here is the image as an animation. I have no idea how to make it where it can be used as live wallpaper.
(Rename .zip to .gif)
i hope someone will make a live WP with this.
Can this be used on EVO?

The reason why audio will not work is that the first folder (or only folder if not more than one) holding the images for the boot animation needs to be named android. and the Desc.txt should reflect the folder name android. So basically, part0 folder needs to be renamed to android. And in desc.txt part0 also needs to be renamed to android

Stock Xoom bootanimation.zip

Hey,
since I didn't really like the ASUS boot screen, I extracted the stock android 3.0 bootanimation from the xoom dump and applied it to my transformer. It works just beautifully and imho it's awesome
To use it, just backup your current bootanimation.zip and copy the new one in the /system/media/ folder using ADB.
Here you can find the ASUS stock file (just rename it to bootanimation.zip and copy it back into the media folder if something should go wrong)

Yup, you need root to be able to write to the /system/ partition
Need to change permissions to read/write.
Much bette rlooking than default... Thanks button clicked!
Ya I changed mine to this also +1
Actually, I was SO glad to get rid of that trippy stock XOOM bootanimation.... I replaced it with the retro animation. I might take a look at it and change it to ASUS... Maybe the original author will help me!
that retro one is neat. pretty easy to see how it is done by examining the contents of the zip file. Looks like it could be cleaned up quite a bit.
Much nicer boot, thanks for this.
In the spirit of sharing I made a little windows GUI to sit on top of a cmd.exe window to automate some adb bits. Most people who have rooted will be quite familiar with adb, but I am lazy and like to press a button rather than type 4 commands
Used it for all of my android devices and have tweaked it for the ASUS bits I am playing with at the moment.
Just unzip and copy the folder to somewhere. When you first open it up it will need you to tell it where adb is located, restart and you should be good to go.
You can pull and backup fonts, bootanimation and UI buttons (SystemUI.apk)
the SystemUI.apk will allow you to have ASUS buttons back on your MoDaCo rom.
You need to have .NET framework 2 installed for it to run.
I am not a developer and it is not perfect but seems to work ok, I use it on XP and Vista - not tried Win7
Dropbox location here
I have not included any fonts, bootanimations or the ASUS SystemUI.apk, but they can all be found on here.
Would be interested to hear if it works on Win7.
Oh, and if you break anything please don't blame me

noooooo now the noobs will never learn!!!!
Hahaha, jk (kinda), but thanks for the contribution, sure does make it a little easier for people that dont like typing up the commands.
Yeah, sorry. Just rying to help, but I suppose a bit of command line action is the best way to learn.
Bored at work and have added a few more functions to it - just used it to upload the video editing app from the xoom. Paul @ MoDaCo has 'fixed' it for us and it is quite nice.
Sorry for the thread crashing, will stop now.
Thanks again to Drakknar for the original post and guide.
Bisto,
works swimmingly on Win7. You should really start a thread in the dev section for your app. It is quite useful.
custom bootanimation w/o root
Shaolin Style said:
stupid question that I feel compelled to ask anyway: does my Transformer have to be rooted first?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It is possible to install and use a custom boot animation without rooting your Transformer. You don't need to be rooted, but you do need to use adb.
The tablet will first look to /data/local and then /system/media for the boot animation. The Asus boot animation is found in /system/media and you need to have root permissions to write to this directory. However, root permissions are not required to write to /data/local.
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
Testing the custom boot animation can be done via adb as well (use Ctrl-C to quit).
Code:
adb shell bootanimation
Reverting back to the stock boot animation is as simple as removing the custom animation from the /data/local directory.
Code:
adb shell rm /data/local/bootanimation.zip
Perhaps its just me, but the Xoom animation does not look appealing due to the 512 x 256 images being stretched to 1408 x 880.
Worked great on an unrooted transformer. Thanks! This guide also helped http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/12841-big-lous-boot-animation-tutorial-noobs.html

I just couldn't get over the look of the Xoom animation on my Transformer, so I made a couple of minor adjustments to the stock Xoom animation. There isn't a significant difference, but I'm happy with the changes.
Decreased resolution from 1408 x 880 to 1280 x 800 to reduce image stretching
Increased frame rate from 26 fps to 30 fps
Optimized PNG images with rOptiPng (roptipng -o7 **/*.png) resulting in minor ~2% size decrease
I also looked for other Android tablet boot animations. I found danmcq's 3D Blue Bumblebee and with a few minor modifications, it displayed rather nicely on my Transformer. Stuntdouble has started a thread that contains some nice boot animations as well.
I'm hoping for more custom boot animations that are rendered either specifically for or at least with Android tablets in mind.
Im going to install this boot screen into my transformer and was wondering if there was any way to port he boot up soungd from the zoom into the transformer?
I have the sound file ready to go but not 100% sure as to were i goes within honeycomb.
Thanks, it looks awesome.
How about adding a drop down list of "advanced" commands?

[BOOT ANIMATION]Android BIOS boot animation for Revolution HD Sensation Edition

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.
Just thought I might share my edits with everyone. If gimj01 and frysee do not want me to have this posted let me know and I will remove it.

BTW: if somebody gets standard bootanimation after replacing try following:
- flash via adb
- 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.

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!

[BOOTANIMATION] Nexus One Retail Boot Animation - (ICS) Revised [ZIP & MTZ]

Nexus One Retail Boot Animation - (ICS) Revised
What is it?
This is a modified CM5 boot animation, which itself is a modified version of the stock boot animation that the retail Nexus One devices have been shipped with.
What i changed?
To match my idea of an ICS version of the stock animation, i removed the CM Logo from the CM5 boot animation and made slightly changes to the base color to match the correct blue used in ICS.

How does it look?
Basically this is a stock Nexus One boot animation - with a touch of Ice Cream Sandwich.

Part1 of Boot animation (actual loop):
How to use?
To use it, use ADB to push the attached ZIP onto your device as follows:
Backup original
Code:
adb pull /system/media/bootanimation.zip
Push new
Code:
adb remount
adb push /local/path/to/bootanimation_passion_ics.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
adb reboot
NOTE:
If you use a file explorer to copy files, or type in the commands (instead of c+p), make sure you change the name of the ZIP from bootanimation_passion_ics.zip to bootanimation.zip! The boot script is looking for /system/media/bootanimation.zip. If you have /system/media/bootanimation_passion_ics.zip (or anything else) it won't work!
UPDATE / MIUI MTZ VERSION
At request i created a mtz version of the boot animation. I've never used MIUI and never came accross this mtz file format before. All i did was following the suggestion i found here on XDA; Open an existing mtz file with 7zip and replacing the zip. I did not tested that version. Please let me know if it works.

I tried this last night and it didn't work
I downloaded the file, I used RootExplorer to removed the stock boot animation from the folder you suggested (running ICS ROM) and then I placed the new zip you created into the said folder.
When I reboot, my new boot animation (it did change) is a simple "Android" that has a silver "flash" look as if its shimmering.
Any suggestions?

First idea: Have you changed the name of the ZIP from bootanimation_passion_ics.zip to bootanimation.zip (maybe you forgot it, as you used a root explorer rather than copy the commands)? The boot script is looking for /system/media/bootanimation.zip. If you have /system/media/bootanimation_passion_ics.zip (or anything else) it won't work.

B. Yea i placed it /system/media . Still its the same. No animations.
I tried it in /system/bin. No change again.
PS: The default bootanimation that i removed from /system/bin had no extension. I even tried to place it back as it was originally. Still the same mate

I can't find the oxygen1mod sources right away. but some roms will need the file in /local/data/bootanimation So you could try:
Code:
adb shell mkdir /data/local/bootanimation
adb push bootanimation_passion_ics.zip /data/local/bootanimation
adb reboot
Alternatively i found this thread, that might help (your ROM needs init.d support for that solution!) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=641189
Tried as u sed. But still the same.
Dev asked to jus place it in /system/media. No effect for that aswell.
While trying for this i once removed the bootanimation file from /system/bin and placed it later. Could that be the issue???

Looks awesome! Any chance you can make a .mtz version of it?

I've updated 1st post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21054340&postcount=1
Works perfectly for me, thank you !
That's exactly what I was looking for!! Thanks! ... I dont like the boot animation that comes with my actual ROM....
@Bexton: Thank you for the animation file. I did hit the Thanks button . I assume that I will have to push the revised bootanimation every time I flashed a new ROM, right?
Very very nice thank u

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:
Is this a flashable zip? What is the resolution?
I would like to use it on my Milestone 2 but I read on some threads that after boot phone screen just goes black...

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!
welcome

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.
