Extra Mod for Haykuro's H Users...

I was messing around with one of my update files on winrar and opened system/Media. There I found boot.gif and boot.mp3 which both play at start up with the htc logo and sound. So I decided to change both with my own. So I did then I signed the update zip and flashed. Worked like a charm, sorry if someone beat me to this if you guys already knew then ill just delete the thread.
How To:
1. You must have a copy of the build/rom you are using. You can use the last update.zip you've used to flash to your latest rom.
2. Open up the update zip file using winrar or whatever unzipping tool you use.
3. Once unzipped goto system/Media.
4. Here you will see two files boot.gif and boot.mp3 these are the files you are going to mod.
5. Editing boot.gif, find a replacement animated gif file you would like to use and rename to boot.gif and add it to the archive replacing the original. MUST BE A .GIF FILE ONLY!
6. Editing boot.mp3, you do the same procedure as step 5 but replace with a mp3 file. MUST BE AN MP3 FILE ONLY!
7. When finished put the update.zip you just edited place on the root of sd card and flashhhh!
8. HAVE FUN!
Alternative with adb without wipe thanks to: Andonnguyen
adb remount
adb shell
#cd /system
#cd /media
#rm boot.gif
#rm boot.mp3
#mv c:\locationoffile\boot.gif /system/media/boot.gif
#mv c:\locationoffile\boot.mp3 /system/media/boot.mp3

Could not add the boot.mp3 but here it is the linux mandriva boot sound.
link to boot sound here:
http://www.zedge.net/ringtones/567398/mandriva-startup-ringtone/

Nice find! Too bad I just got everything set up the way I like it. I'll probably be flashing again on "Firmware Friday." I'll try this out then!
I've got about a million ideas for what I want my phone to do when I turn it on....

Yea its great, I currently have an android dancing gif instead of the htc and Pitbull I know you want me for the boot sound lol. I put it on just to test and now that I know it works, I will also be changing it to something sick on firmware Friday...

There is One big problem
How you sign your update ...
When I used auto sign to signed my mod ... I have a error in recovery mode

Which auto signer are you using? I suggest using Stericson's also make sure your singing the whole update.zip

So this really does work?

i may try this for the next update as well, good find

Anyway you can make a how to or point me to the direction of this information?

Yup, i've tested and it works.

As an alternative method (for those who don't want to wipe), modify the boot.gif and boot.mp3 then place them somewhere on your hard drive. Next type the following commands in ADB while your G1 is connected via USB to your computer:
adb remount
adb shell
#cd /system
#cd /media
#rm boot.gif
#rm boot.mp3
#cp c:\locationoffile\boot.gif /system/media/boot.gif
#cp c:\locationoffile\boot.mp3 /system/media/boot.mp3
#reboot

STERICSON (or anyone familiar with editing the xml files on android), please read below:
In the H builds of 1.5, there is also an xml file called boot_animation.xml in /system/media, the contents are as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!--

It looks as if we can manage to load multiple animated gif's during the boot process after splash1 and splash2 images. Could you please look into this, and offer any input as how to modify the xml to allow this?

Ok it seems as if the boot gif when changed gets disorted now for some reason, will look into it.

Well the first 2 BootConfiguration tags have been commented out. To comment in xml you type <!-- before your comment and --> after your comment.
Try removing the comment code on the first BootConfiguration and adding comments to the last one. also make sure to remove the (optional), then upload the images using your adb method and see if it works.
Below i cleaned the code up a bit. So you can copy that into your xml.
Also I changed the useAudio to 1 which means yes.
Code:
<BootConfiguration>
<BootAnimation
image="/system/media/boot.gif"
audio="/system/media/boot.mp3"
image2="/system/media/boot2.gif"
image3="/system/media/boot3.gif"
screenX="100"
screenY="130"
image_bg = "/system/media/boot_bg.gif"
useAudio="1"
/>
</BootConfiguration>
This is the last BootConfiguration in the xml. The middle one is just a demonstration. I wouldn't delete it though, Android might be expecting a certain file size.
Below is the current active BootConfig which i added the comment tag around.
Code:
<!--
<BootConfiguration>
<BootAnimation
image="/system/media/boot.gif"
audio="/system/media/boot.mp3"
useAudio="1"
/>
</BootConfiguration>

I'm thinking the gif might have to be a certain size because my recent boot gif is distorted when animating. Check first page for boot gif and boot.mp3

adb remount
adb shell
#cd /system
#cd /media
#rm boot.gif
#rm boot.mp3
#mv c:\locationoffile\boot.gif /system/media/boot.gif
#mv c:\locationoffile\boot.mp3 /system/media/boot.mp3
#reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
^^Not working for me; i keep getting the error msg "failed on 'C:\boot.gif' - No such file or directory"
And yes, my boot.gif file is saved in the C:\ directory.
Perhaps it needs to be saved on the sdcard to work? i'll try it and report back.
Edit: SUCCESS. I placed my modified boot.gif and boot.mp3 files on the sdcard, then used the following commands:
adb remount
adb shell
#cd /system
#cd /media
#rm boot.gif
#rm boot.mp3
#cp /sdcard/files/boot.gif /system/media/boot.gif
#cp /sdcard/files/boot.mp3 /system/media/boot.mp3

So you're having the same problem I am then? I analyzed the CRAP out of the original boot.gif, and compared it to a customer animated gif I attempted to completely customize my bootup w/ to no avail. I even modified the original boot.gif trying to place text and extra graphics on the existing frames, saved, and the modified version of the boot.gif glitched out too.
So as a test (since I'd only been trying to run modified/created animated gifs after about 3-4 hours of analyzing trying to figure out the difference) I replaced the boot.gif w/ a regular animated gif.
The boot automatically centers the gif (in this case it's not the 320x480 scale of the original boot.gif)... but it's still distoreted. Here are some pictures as an example
this gif -
doesn't animate at all. appears to show 3 different frames all glitched out and looks like this -
Any light anyone can shed on this would be greatly appreciated =( I'd absolutely love to customize my OWN animated gif for my boot image.

what size is it suppose to be?

Transformer Sound Effect
You wouldn't believe how hard it is to find the Transformer sound effect from the 2007 Movie. I finally gave up and used this one here. I kept the stock HTC.gif (H build) because it's timed right with the sound. Just thought I'd post in case anyone else had the same idea. If anyone finds a clean morph fx file, pm me.

Boot Animation!

Okay so i made a boot animation but idk howto put it onto my phone, i'm using a mac, can someone tell/show me howto do this? Im sorry for being nub!

first i hope you have output your animation to numbered pngs ... as in...

tbistone_boot0003.png
tbistone_boot0004.png
tbistone_boot0005.png
tbistone_boot0006.png
etc...
then put all those files into a folder named "android" or "part0" or whatever you want... i use "android"
then
open textedit and create a file named desc.txt
in that file should be this text ---- lines are just start and finish do not put those into text file
---------------------
480 800 30
p 1 1 android
---------------------
explanation for what each line means:
[480 = wide spec] [800 = height spec] [30 = frames per second]
[p = play] [1 = times] [1 = pause between each play] [android = folder name]
after you have those 2 set up...
move those to root of your mac hard-drive on the desktop there is an icon of a HDD with the name of your computer... move the folder there and the desc.txt as well
open terminal [top right corner magnifying glass] [click] [type "terminal"] [black box should be top hit]
once terminal opens type this and be real careful when typing here there is potencial for damage with the [rm] command SO ONLY TYPE WHAT I TELL YOU
rm /android/.DS_Store [enter] <-if you get an error here ignore it .DS_Store is mac folder cashe
zip -r0 /Users/[your computer name]/Desktop/bootanimation.zip /desc.txt /android [enter]
[there will be a list of file being ziped and show that compression is not being applied]
[on your desktop there is a bootscreen.zip in proper format ready to go to your phone]
now on terminal type:
cd [drag your android sdk's "tools" folder into terminal window] [enter]
./adb remount [enter]
./adb push [drag bootanimation.zip from desktop into terminal] /system/media <- sense
./adb shell bootanimation [preview of what it should look like ctrl+c to exit]
./adb reboot or ./adb shell reboot [real test of what it looks like]
hope that helps dont know how familiar you are with this so i tried to add too much rather than not enough...

That looks very cool, I hope you can make into a boot animation because I would love to see it on my Evo.

wrx4memp, thanks a bunch i appreciate it, i'll give this a shot when i get home from work!

[BOOTSCREEN][ZIP] N1/Nexus S Boot animation for CM6.1/Froyo ROMs

You guys needed to rip apart the .gif 's into separate images and add a desc.txt telling the phone exactly how you want it to run/go through the images inside the bootanimation.zip
Edit: Now, if you're referring to those zips from the link that include audio... I believe you may be able to add boot sounds via an init.rc script plus bulid.prop edits. You will also need to add a line to the desc.txt found inside the bootanimation.zip with "s" at the beginning. Thought I read something along those lines otherwise you may be sol

Original Thread:
Code:
is there anyone who can port over this bootscreen to make it work on Cyanogenmod 6.1 Stable for HeroCDMA?
I tried flashing the zip as is located [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=605188"]here[/URL] (There are a lot on there and I used this one: check attachments below
I am surprised no one asked for this. I haven't found any that worked on CM6 (if you know one, plz enlighten me :)
[B]EDIT[/B]
I believe the boot animation on the provided link is already MDPI and for Hero, so the question is How do I apply it to CM6.1?
[B]Methods tried but FAILED[/B]
1. Rename update.zip from dl link to bootanimation.zip and push via ADB to /system/media = [COLOR="Red"][B][U]FAILED[/U][/B][/COLOR]

Cm6 had a nexus like boot before the RC stage of developement. Should be able to pull from there.

It did, but it was Cyan colored. LOL
I know, but is it possible to port this over? Or actually, since the Original thread is already MDPI and for Hero, I guess the question is How do you change CM boot animation?

It gives directions in the OP. Use adb to push the new
copy and paste from OP
INSTRUCTIONS
Using ADB:
-Extract the files [except the one called "by-shenshang"] inside the RAR archive to the same directory as ADB
-Using adb, type:
Code:
adb remount
-Then:
Code:
adb push boot1.gif /system/media/bootscreen/
adb push boot2.gif /system/media/bootscreen/
adb push boot_animation.xml /system/media/bootscreen/
adb push boot_bg.gif /system/media/bootscreen/
adb push boot_bg.mp3 /system/media/bootscreen/
-reboot and enjoy!

Or, if you don't want to use adb, just put the bootanimation.zip into system/media with root explorer. It will ask you if you want to overwrite the current one, say yes, reboot and enjoy.

Only problem here is that CM6 apparently doesnt use /system/media/bootscreen for boot animation. That would work on other roms, but not this unfortunately.

Try this.
1. Rename zip to bootanimation.zip
2. Stick it in system/media. It will overwrite the current.
3. Reboot.
4. Let me know if that worked.

Exactly. And what happened was just that; it didn't work.
On the bright side, it did get rid of the Cyanogenmod boot animation, but I now have a much more minimalist black bootscreen
Any ideas?

Can you attach the update zip? Rapudshare wont let me dl.

Easy to restore stock animation!
2 Play speed options! 45FPS is faster (45 frames per second) and 30FPS slower (since the tf takes forever to boot!)
Asus_animation.zip is just the last part, the asus logo animation on loop.
3 Options to install.
First Download the attached the animation you want and extract it to reveal "bootanimation.zip
1. ADB
Navigate to the folder containing "bootanimation.zip" in terminal/command prompt.
Type the following
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
Then to test
Code:
adb shell bootanimation
2. Root Explorer
Copy "bootanimation.zip" to your SD card
On your Streak open up Root Explorer (or any other app that allows you to copy paste to the internal memory)
Copy "bootanimation.zip" and paste it to /Data/Local
3. Terminal Emulator
thanks nickshertzer, his directions are for drop box but can easily be manipulated for simply copying the bootanimation.zip to your SDcard
nickshertzer said:
Bump! This is awesome! Thanks for sharing.
BTW, if you don't have / want to get out that sync cable for ADB, use dropbox & Terminal Emulator. Make sure you download the .zip using dropbox longpress first before running following command
Code:
su
cp /sdcard/dropbox/bootanimation.zip /data/local/
reboot

Click to collapse
To remove and restore stock animation just enter the following command in shell/terminal:
Code:
adb shell rm /data/local/bootanimation.zip
Enjoy
Updated it by slimming it down and fixed it so asus animation isn't stretched.
FIXED white pixels on edges!
Think this is the final and its good to go!

Looks cool. Makes me wish I'd rooted mine.

makes it from 10 to the ASUS logo. all looks good except asus logo looks terrible. try it out once you get your TF. good work though.

My transformer is coming in today so I decided to make a countdown boot animation to pass the time
The animation goes a lot faster on the device (tested it out on my dell streak) but since I don't have my transfomer yet I don't know how fast it boots.
If this is too long, I'll either make it start counting down from 5 or 3 and/or just speed it up (depends on how fast the transformer boots).
Please leave a reply concerning the length of the animation and speed of the transformer's boot time.
Also if you would like the countdown without the asus at the end, i have that too, request it and i'll post.

Once i get my transformer I'll downgrade the files a bit and take some repeated ones out to slim it down and speed it up.

I'm a little disappointed it's not playing "the final countdown" by Europe.

I haven't rooted my Transformer and I have found that I can use adb to push bootanimation.zip files to /data/local and use custom boot animations.

Cool didnt know that. Can you also save the original animation file using ADB, just in case you'd ever need to put it back on and return it under warranty?

Yes it is possible to save the original bootanimation.zip using ADB.
Code:
adb pull /system/media/bootanimation.zip bootanimation.zip
That being said, my post entitled custom bootanimation w/o root in a separate thread hints at why you don't necessarily need to.
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. Reverting back to the stock boot animation is as simple as removing the custom animation from the /data/local directory.

Great thanks for the info. Will give it a go next week when I get the time then.

test out the new update and let me know what you guys think!

Awesome, going to try this out!

The update looks better with this smaller asus logo. I dont know if its just my device or not but there is a border about 1 pixel wide around the screen when using this boot animation, which isnt covered by the black background. Looks a bit odd.

Yeas I know. I think it's because I used automator on my Mac to "pad" (increase canvas size) of the images. I've got replace the radiator on my car today but when I get time I will check out the files in Photoshop and see what I can do to fix it.

I just got all the adb files updated(took hours) and was able to push it over. Very cool Animation other than the Asus Logo being smaller than I'd like and the 1 pixel rainbow border.
I bet a Transformer animation would be extremely popular as well, I'd be willing to buy you a coffee for that one =)

other boot sequence?
anyone know if you can use any other boot sequences using the same no root method??

Updated! fixed and 2 fps options!

as long as you push them to /data/local you don't need root.
The original one is in /system/media which needs root to edit. Android looks in /data/local first, if there isn't one then it plays the bootanimation.zip in /system/media. So no need to root for any boot animation and this makes it easy to restore stock by simply removing the one you pushed into /data/local

You certainly can. I'm using this one at the moment.

Awesome
Awesome work fone_fanatic!!!
Thank you for sharing.
I have one request, if possible?
Would you be able to do an animation like the title of the "Transformers" movie?
You can see it in some trailers on YouTube, you know the letters transforming into the final title.
Obviously the title would be just "Transformer" in metallic letters (like in the movie). I think that that would be Epic!!!
Thanx

[BOOTANIMATION] White Nexus (from SonnySekhon's Frost theme)

Hey guys. I whipped up this bootanimation for the MT4GS as it was the one I was using on my G2 for ages.
It's the normal nexus boot animation, but in all white. open up one of the images in part0 or part1 to get a visual. you can modify how fast it goes by changing the third value (framerate) in the desc.txt file. it's set @ 20fps right now.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAFSEsEZnnE (this is the colored version, but you get the idea)
Instructions for installation:
(using file explorer like root explorer)
download the zip, place on sd card.
find the zip in your file browser and move it to /system/customize/resource/ (overwrite existing bootanimation file)
change permissions to rw-r--r-- (read/write owner, read for group/others)
(using terminal emulator/adb, assuming file is already on the root of your sdcard)
[first command below only if you're starting with adb]
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
mv /system/customize/resource/TMUS_bootanimation.zip /sdcard/TMUS_bootanimationBAK.zip //*this creates a backup of your existing bootanimation*\\
cp /sdcard/TMUS_bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource/TMUS_bootanimation.zip
chmod 644 /system/customize/resource/TMUS_bootanimation.zip
