|BOOT & DOWN Animation| HTC Black - HTC Sensation

The first thing I wanted to do after I root my HTC Sensation was to change the boot animation from 'screaming' white to black.
So for those who want the original, but black HTC boot animation they are free to take it from here
As you wish, thread updated with matching downanimation
P.S. 1
Adding the original boot animation & down, if someone needed
P.S. 2
Added splash_screen (splash.img)
Flash it with adb.
(adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash splash1 splash.img)

Sorry if this is obvious... but how do you install the boot animation?

Hello,
simple way to instal, go with Rootexplorer in
System/media an overright the bootanimation....

There is no bootanimation there
EDIT: Just found this thread. Got the splash screen and boot animation blacked out now! I like it much better that way.

Any chance you're gonna do a downanimation.zip to match? That'd be pretty sweet!

Obviously you boot animation dubbed in the wrong place.
In custom ROMs with Root Explorer, boot and down animation usually found in /data/local

i checked that i had full read/write permissions in /data/local for bootanimation.zip. i deleted that file and pasted in the bootanimation.zip from the top post in this thread. restarted phone, nothinc has changed. what did i do wrong?

Check and see if it is located in system/customize/resource(I know that's where its located on sense roms)
brought to you by the little voices in my head

In the /system/customize/resource you can find a simlinked files.
The animations that need to be switched are located in /data/local (I use InsertCoin Sensation).

Figured that this is pretty simple, and that the majority of you guys can do this, but I pulled the bootanimation.zip out of the 2.2 rom that's floating around, and put it here by itself.
Place it in /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
Haven't found a prettier boot screen yet.

I need to do that via adb push correct? Can you give me the code so I don't screw it up? I'm fresh into Android from WinMo.
Thanks!
PS- That's the same directory where the crappy boot music is too right? Can I just erase or rename the music file to have it be silent at boot?
yes code please adb push something

This is just the N1 boot animation. I thought it would be something different. But it worked, I tried it and I like better the Droid one . Good job either way

Gonna have to try this one out
why didn't this just get posted in one of the several boot animation threads there already is?
if you had read those, you'd see that not only is the original nexus bootanimation IN that thread already, but there's also a modified version that looks a little better on this screen, despite the fact that they're the same resolution.

Cool boot screen. It's customized for the Droid though as it states "Motorola Droid" and lists the processor as Omap.
Tried this in recovery (guessing since you don't have system rw access in nominal ops). Now it seems to not have worked, I copies it fine with
adb push bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
Unless I am doing something wrong, which I am sure I am. Hints?

I know the Nexus and the Evo have the same resolution, but why are the bootscreens from the Nexus in 512x256 resolution and the stock Evo one in 480x800? I've been trying to find the STOCK Nexus boot, hoping it's 480x800 so it works perfectly, but all I've seen is 512x256.

Here are some custom easy boot animations.

First things first. Make a backup.
Now, here are a few of my boot animations made as a simple update.zip. You NEED to be rooted, and just apply these in bootstrap recovery as a .zip and they *should* work.
****EDIT*** I updated all the mega uploads on the first page.. If there is no link, its because i lost the file when i erased off megaupload, and I NEED somebody to email me the files of whoever had
the Rick Roll
Star Wars
Blue lightning
Bed Intruder.
If you have those files, please PM me.

This is a update.zip. Just apply with bootstrapper or equivalent.

Navigate to /data/local/ in root explorer. If there is a boot animation in there, rename or erase it

Is anybody having problems were the boot animation image gets stuck over the lock screen. The phone will still function normally but the first lock screen looks like the last image in the boot animation. Im using a different animation then these with rubix 1.0 thought I could start here for help. Thank you.

Yes, that started a little after the 2.2 update for me though. It did become more prevalent with my new animations, but after a full 2.2SBF (which i performed to clean out my phone, and start anew) that just came out, on the first boot, the original animation stayed on the screen.
This one was a small request, this takes the rotten apple I found and mixes it to the Blue Lightning Droid X eye. Intalls as a update.zip through bootstrap.

I've been trying to apply the Star Wars animation but I can't figure it out. If someone could post detailed instructions on how to apply it that would be awesome.

This is not the stock Verizon bootanimation. It seems to be some sort of bootanimation for the I9300.
So much better than the Verizon animation, even if it is pretty plain. But I like not having any of their crap on my phone.
I would like the stock boot animation as well. The one that came with the Verizon Model. I am using CM10.
Thank you

I swapped it out for the generic Samsung boot (A blue swirly thing) with no sound.....

Yes, unfortunately this will only work for stock-based ROMs. CM boot method is different from stock. It uses a set of individual images in sequence for animation while stock uses a single qmg file (that is basically a compiled set of images).

This zip has jpg files. Doesn't the Verizon s3 need a bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg replacement? I'm looking for a boot animation replacement but can't find any. I would appreciate a link if you know of one.
Rom Toolkit didn't work for me. Perhaps only some of the animations work on the s3 but I didn't feel like installing and trying them all out. If you've used Rom toolkit and got it working, which animation did you use?

The zip file contains those. You have to place them in the proper directories. With some roms the boot animations don't have to be qmg though.
To use ROM toolbox I believe you need to have a Rom with init.d support.

Right, makes sense. Since I'm stock rom, guess I'm stuck with qmg. I'll keep looking

There are actually 3 things which has a default white back, and could (should?) be black..
The first is the splash (static) screen, which is actually on a different partition than the system/data etc.
The 2nd is boot-animation which appears after the splash when the phone is booted
The 3rd is down-animation, appearing when the phone goes to a reboot/shutdown.
Please find the 3 attached files for each - keep in mind that the splash is a flashable zip which needs to be flashed via 4Ext,
The bootanimation and downanimation zips should replace existing files on your rom - different roms have these in different locations, but AFAIK always somewhere in /system - root is needed.
Nandroid is your friend - always create a backup first!
Thanks for the splash. I'm happy the white one is gone. Do you know where there is any more? I like this one a lot though. I just wanted to see what else there is.

Hey, this is really great. However I'm a bit of a noob and just flashed a new ROM and now looking to flash this splash screen. I flashed the zip file, but unaware what to do with the other 2 zip files. I found a 'bootanimation' file within \system\bin but no downanimation file. Also I know these zip files contain many images not just a single file type. I'd really appreciate if you could advise on this. Is this splashscreen also silent? As after the flash I have no noise, but still the annoying white display
---------- Post added at 04:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:16 PM ----------
Ok so I got the splash screen working. It had to be stored in system/customize/resource. I still however have no sound on start up. Also, initially turning on the phone still gives me the white with green HTC without quietly briliant before then giving the black boot splash screen... Confusing :S

in order to change the splash screen you have to be on S-OFF.are you on S-OFF?
also when you put the new bootanimation.zip in system/customize/resource did you change the permissions?

Hey thanks for the reply. I'm not S-OFF but I use 4EXT with SmartFlash enabled to overcome this. I was able now to get the black splash screen working, however prior to this bootanimation I still have a white background with green HTC. I think it's like a BIOS screen maybe? How can I get this changed also?

ok, I've not tried this yet as I feel you misunderstand my issue... I have my new black HTC splash screen. But before that comes up I have another image, the original white one. I think this might be called the 'boot splash'. I have a found a page which does the change for the HTC One S, I think I need something similar for the HTC Sensation. AS the very first line of this page highlights that boot splash and boot animation are two seperate things:

Edit: Ok, I'm being a complete donut! The flashable splash screen zip is what replaces that static screen right 'boot splash' as I referred? Even if I didn't flash this and just replaced the bootanimation and the downanimation, I'd get what I have now?! But why can I not do this with SmartFlash Enabled on 4EXT, as I thought this acted as a temporary S-OFF? It's just when I flashed the zip, it said it was successful and also I now have no boot sound when starting the device, do you know why that is?

the original white one you are saying is the splach screen
the second one(new black HTC)is the bootanimation
the bootanimation you can change it also even without flashing anything at all

Cool man thanks. Ok so I just looked into doing S-OFF, and I see I'd have to install Ubuntu onto a virtual machine and it also mentioned that you should ONLY perform S-OFF with a stock ROM, is this true? As I have upgraded to Inspiration 1.0.1 ICS with Sense 5 MOD and this seems now then to be quite a bit of hassle.

As I have upgraded to Inspiration 1.0.1 ICS with Sense 5 MOD and this seems now then to be quite a bit of hassle.

you can use this guide either for S-OFF
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614617
just request for the windows version tool
or request it also from ganeshp's guide
and yes install the stock rom
just backup inspiration rom through recovery
and after S-OFF restore it
note:backup everything from your sdcard to pc because during the wire trick it will erase everything in the sdcard
could someone explain why my boot sound has gone? the flash didnt work because i am s-on, but i lost my boot animation start up sound!
EDIT: Sorted it, for some reason in the folder system/customize/CID the file default.xml had:
<BootAnimation animation="/system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip"/>
when it should have been:
<BootAnimation audio="/system/customize/resource/android_audio.mp3" animation="/system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip"/>

I stumbled across people wanting to do it for the HTC Desire HD, also there is much stuff on people wanting to remove the 'annoying sound' as they referred to it as. I had this sound file missing, so I added it to the /system/customize/resource location, but still didn't work. That's when I found the default.xml file to have that line missing within /system/customize/CID. Added it and whala, now have the start up sound again

My Epic Sense 6 Splash Screens

Hey guys, waiting for my phone to mail in...meanwhile I made some splash screens. Enjoy!
Version 1
white
black
Version 2
white
black
I used this splash screen maker to make the splash screens with the correct android-info.txt, so hopefully these should work. However, in case they don't, I take no responsibility if you guys brick your phones applying this through the bootloader.
Also, I figure I should mention, there is no gray border around the actual splash screens
instructions, as per @dgtiii
Code:
1. Place splash zip in your fastboot folder, rename splash.zip.
2. Reboot to bootloader, connect your phone to pc, should go to Fastboot USB mode
3. Fastboot oem rebootRUU
4. Fastboot flash zip splash.zip
5. Fastboot reboot-bootloader
6. Unplug your phone, select reboot in bootloader, see your awesome new splash screen!

Sweet boot screens...:good:
Splash screens or bootanimations ? Afaik splash screens can only be edited with s-off. If they are boot animations i suggest to edit the title to rule out confusion
Nice screens anyway

These are splash screens. I saw a few other threads with splash screens though? Confused...if I make them flashable through recovery will they work?

Well try but i really think you need s-off to write the partition where the splash screen is located. I also read in the OP of the splash screen creator that s-off is mandatory.
Edit :
But don't worry if they don't work now, i think that s-off will be available for the M8 so your work is not for nothing !
Looks awesome but why the "Beats Audio" at the bottom?
Nice work, especially love version 2

oh snap....wow lol. ok I'll fix that first splash screen then, and possibly even the second, since the 6 is obviously based on the beats logo

Awesome thanks for the PSD!
ok I fixed the first version, and once I find a copy of Cambridge Round Light Expended font somewhere, I'll make some boomsound splashes
Hey these are some sweat splash screens. I like the first one with HTC sense 6, but I cant download it. Every time I try it says its invalided. Hope that gets fixed one day and I like the idea with having powered by Boomsound as a footnote like I read somewhere here earlier. I like the art, keep it up!
I am going to ask a dumb question, but how do I flash these? Ssojyeti2, did you test these on the device? I just can't get them to work, and I'd like to, you did an excellent job on these mate!

When is it invalid? Is the download link broken or does it not flash properly?

Umm well I haven't tested these out yet either but they should be flashed through the bootloader, which means s-off is required

I am s-off. So RUU mode, then fastboot flash zip splash.zip, right?

That wasn't what I was thinking, but it may work. I'd hold on flashing for now till I can test it myself, unless you feel adventurous
