First things first... if you don't know what you're doing, I suggest you read as much as possible on XDA regarding bootanimation.zip files before attempting this to gain a better understanding. 2nd, if you break your ****, it isn't my fault. 3rd , make a backup for the love of god. Additionally, beyond this post I will NOT support this further.
Alright, this is the first time I've ever attempted to do one of these and it's a little bit tougher than it looks. I pulled images from youtube of the Nvidia gaming boot/splash screen and went through one by one, resized, retouched etc...
It looks pretty cool and I created a custom graphic at the end.
It was extracted from this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhEEUkJL4iM frame-by-frame.
I added this image to the end, it "loops" for a second right after the nvidia screen and right before the phone boots.

I would included video of the whole thing but I've already spent a lot of time on it, maybe I'll do it later.
I use this with MIUI, not sure what else it will work on.
A sound goes with it, I got the sound from Avetny's animation thread, not sure who the original author was, but thanks to Avetny! You can also download the file from the MIUI theme manager if you're there, makes this process easier also.
Instructions:
If it works for CM7,, these will most likely be the instructions... adb push or use root explorer or equivalent to move bootanimation.zip into /system/media.
1) If you're using MIUI, first, download the nvidia boot sound from the online theme manager and also a boot animation.
2) Then, copy my bootanimation.zip file into /data/system/theme/boots (if you dont have the theme folder, create it to make the theme manager work in the first place).
3) Ensure your bootaudio.mp3 file is also in the same folder /boots or /media based on your rom.
All done! Enjoy! Remember to say thanks!
Thanks, it works on CM7 Nightly 103. The video size is a bit small but overall it looks nice.

Yea bit small but works on Weapon G2x rom
Sent from my G2x Weapon
It's small b/c the images are 480X480 and the desc file has the images as 480x480. So this will be "small" on all G2x displays, but I don't think it's really that small.
Anyway, here is a gif for you to preview it. The speed is close but not quite correct. The NVIDIA portion comes first and then the Android loops till the phone boots.
found that boot audio on theme manager on miui but i cant download? it doesnt give me any icon to download or install!
how can i download that audio with theme manager?
Make sure to create that theme folder first

Trying to get an idea of interest in a theme like this.
Inspiration came from Bezerker.
Themed out in all red with out the over kill on the eyes.
All icons are left original Droid X colors.
Many Thanks are due and will come if I decide to release!
Also, I'm in need of someone who could help me with text color...
I'm trying to have white text against the dark buttons.
Ok, I'm putting this link up for the those who'd like to test...There shouldn't be any issues besides the buttons which I'm working on. I haven't themed ADW yet...that'll happen tonight if i can get to it. Also this is from a free Mediafire account so it might be limited. If you don't get a copy and want one PM me.
Download -- CM6 Test 8
Droid X Themed LauncherPro v0.7.0.4
Install: In recovery, system mounted -- adb push SCM-LauncherPro.apk /system/app/
I've pretty much already done this and it's complete, but the only real issues that remain are fixing the 'press' color for the pc sync app on the phone and, like in your screenshot, removing the black horizontal lines from buttons. I just don't feel like releasing it unfinished
by icons, do you mean browser phone, etc? if so, that is awesome.
if you need a tester or two to provode feedback, im available.

Actually, I have to correct myself. This IS the best theme I've ever used.
The only real "problem" is dark text, and those little lines shown I'm that last pic of the Calender.

Took me about the whole day, I started off from not even knowing what the hell a desc.txt to successfully making this boot animation all by myself.
I kinda feel proud
The quality is kind of low ress, this is my first work, so I will refine it, but I want to share what I got so far.
Suggestions and feedback are certainly welcomed!
Please tell me what you think about it.
Make sure to do a Nandroid backup!
It's signed and zipped, so all you gotta do is install from recovery no need to push.

I've searched for a tutorial but all I find is the file structure for the desc.txt file. I need a tutorial more on the lines of the tools used to capture video and convert to pngs. I'll take one of those tutorials if you don't mind. Or a link to one.

Indeed, this was a good one to port. Tortuga, let me know if you need help getting the signal icons ported over, you may need to find a red theme from the fascinate to find them - vibrant doesnt seem to have the same icons as us for signal and data. Oh and tortuga, I told you to use drop box to upload something quick for me - but for these I would be using a free hots as the traffic you may get may shut your dropbox down. Try www.fileserve.com

I posted it over on the cyanogenmod forums as well with the gif. I could link you...but I don't have enough posts. =)
Also... not flashable!
well, keep posting! hows the weather there?
Hah! Good idea. I would have just spammed the 8 posts but they also impose a 5 minutes between posts rule for n00bz, and I have a short attention span.
Eight! I will add the GIF to the first post...
ugh, i always forget how to push these things...its always quirky for me. i should just write down the exact steps...

Not sure about other AOSP roms.. I am running CM7.
To get it working under CM7, I first flashed the transformers audio zip from this link:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/7433-flashable-zip-boot-screen-audio/
It includes a script which enables boot screen audio.
Then, replace the android_audio.mp3 file in /system/media with any other mp3 -- in this case, you would use the one I have provided.. just rename to android_audio.mp3.

I found out where to put it. I experimented from a post I read that said to pull up a file that shows where all the files get executed from. It was a .xml file that told me where. I put a ringtone there and it worked perfect. It even shows what to name it.
You can also edit that xml so everything goes to system/customize/resource or data/local,even the name of the bootanimations and add audio if you don't have it or add sound to shutdownanimation.( be warned though make a back up of the orginal one if you mess with it)
