I am still monitoring this thread, but all new content moving forward will be on my blog to make things easier ^_^
This will be a thread for all the boot animations and splash screens I produce/edit. Some boot animations are ROM specific, as noted, and can simply be flashed via recovery or ROM Manager, others will need to be renamed and adb pushed to the correct location for the ROM you're using (PM me if you need assistance, happy to help ^_^). For the splash screens, you MUST be S-Off via unrevoked forever. I will be checking and updating this thread regularly so feel free to post any suggestions, comments or requests here in this thread.
Instructions for ROM specific boot animations
1)Download .zip file from your phone by following the link you want
2)Install from recovery or ROM Manager
3)Reboot & enjoy!
Instructions for generic boot animations
1)Download .zip file from your computer by following the link you want
2)Rename the downloaded .zip appropriately (Usually bootanimation.zip or VZW_bootanimation.zip; if unsure, contact your ROM chef or PM me and I'll help as best I can)
3)ADB push the renamed .zip file to the appropriate location on your phone (Usually /system/media or /system/customize/resource; again, if unsure, contact your ROM chef or PM me and I'll help as best I can)
4)Reboot & enjoy!
Instructions for splash1 screens
1)YOU MUST BE S-OFF IN ORDER TO USE THESE! IF YOU ARE NOT, GO HERE AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS LISTED BEFORE PROCEEDING TO STEP 2!
2)Download .zip file from either from your computer or your phone
3)Rename it to PB31IMG.zip
4)Remove or rename any existing PB31IMG.zip file from the root of your SD card and copy the one you just downloaded and renamed to the root of your SD card
5)Power off your phone, reboot into bootloader (hold volume down and power, when it turns on, release power but NOT VOLUME DOWN!)
6)The bootloader will scan the file and prompt you to hit volume up to install, do that (unless you were just doing all this for practice and don't actually WANT a new splash1 screen lol)
7)Reboot & enjoy!

lol no worries, I never tell people what to do, only what I would do ^_^ I would just flash it in Recovery or ROM Manager (Heard some people having trouble with ROM Manager method, haven't been able to duplicate). If you really want to ADB push it, first you have to open up the RedemptiveRevolution_BIOS_boot_animation.zip file you downloaded, go in to the system>customize>resource folder and pull out the VZW_bootanimation.zip Then you can ADB push that exact VZW_bootanimation.zip file, no renaming necessary, to /system/customize/resource and you should be golden, but again, that's more work than you have to do ^_^
Good question though, and I updated the OP accordingly so hopefully it'll be a little clearer moving forward, that was my fault. The way I'm trying to do this is, any boot animations that are ROM specific (Custom ROM logos, wording, etc...), I'll install the ROM on my phone once I'm done with the boot animation and then try and load it myself. If it works, I post it, if not, I try again lol. That way, if it's in the ROM Specific section, all you should have to do is flash the downloaded .zip file in recovery or ROM Manager. It's when you dip into the Generic section that you have to be a teeeensy bit savvy and I'll be glad to help with those, just drop me a PM or a message here in this thread (Need to know what ROM you're running) and I'll either walk you thru it or, if possible, repackage the boot animation for you so you can flash it to your ROM in recovery the easy way ^_^
Awesome work Dan. I donated last night and he had a custom boot animation for me within a couple hours. He'll put whatever text you want on the boot screen and a custom image. He'll also keep tweaking it until you are happy with it.
Couldn't be happier with the work!
*high five*

Couldn't be happier that you're happy ^_^ Stay tuned, more goodness to come! (I'm just scratching the surface, but I'm starting to learn how to do simple apps hehe)
I'm also using redemptive 1.7 on Dinc and am having trouble getting a boot animation I want to use to work. I'm using root explorer and have tried placing the .zip file in system/customize/resource and named it bootanimation.zip and also tried VZW_bootanimation.zip and am having no luck. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Which one are you having trouble with? Again, if you guys are downloading the ROM specific ones, I've made that as simple as pie, just flash them in recovery or from ROM manager. If it's a different one, lemme know and I can make you a flashable .zip for Redemptive (How much do you LOVE those transitions by the way? Those things are sick!)
very nice work dude!
would really LOVE to see a DROID X BIOS one, i would use it for sure!
the generic incredible one is awesome
Thanks guys, I'd love to update these for other devices, but I have a D'Inc and my gf has a Moto Droid so that's all I can test on lol I need some testers *hint hint*

Love the redemptive animation! Lou is doing some sick work. I just got my wife a Moto X, but she would freak out if I started messing with it. All I can say is I wouldn't trade my Incredible for the Moto X.

This is my first attempt at a boot animation and I think it turned out pretty good. It is pretty basic but looks great and runs very fast and smooth. The video is pretty useless since it runs extremely slow, looks horrible, and doesn't loop (lol) but it'll give you a basic idea.
To use, simply ADB push the file to /system/customize/resource (for sense roms, not sure of the location for AOSP builds) (Be sure that the file is named bootanimation.zip)

If you tried/used this boot animation please leave me comments and suggestions as I would love to improve and make more.
Thanks!!
For AOSP roms, use root explorer and move bootanimation.zip to system/media.

Hello everyone!
I've made my first boot animation for MDPI devices. I tried to made nice-looking light boot animation to some older devices as my Xperia X8 or LG GT-540. The result isn't great but it looks nice
There are two versions:
bootanimation.zip - copy this file to system/media and replace current bootanimation
update-CM9-Bootanimation-320x480.zip - ClockworkMod update (much easier to apply)
Remember to copy old one! And this might brick your device. as all stuff here
Here's the look of official boot animation.

I think that I put this in wrong section. Sorry for that ;] Could someone move this to correct one?

Hi there: silly question: can i use it if i don't have CyanogenMod? am using my stock rom (am waiting for the stable CM9 release for my phone )
*UPDATED*
I think i don't even have a bootanimation.zip in my phone... i searched in the entire root and nothing...
I've never changed a boot animation in any of my phones, so i'm kind of lost here
Look's good! But on LG-P500 it small lagging)
copied the zip to the sdcard, flashed it with cwm recovery but I still have the normal android boot animation...

The zip it's no to be flashed... you have to put it in your phone inner memory "/system/media" folder (if you haver another bootanimation.zip there, rename it just in case)
And that's it
There are 2 archives in the first post - one to be flashed with cwm recovery and one to be put directly in /system/media , none of them worked until I copied the bootanimation.zip in /data/local also. Now it works, but the quality of the gif is very very bad..much wore than the old cm7 animation.
Hi guys! Was roaming around Xperia Arc forum and I found this boot animation. Tested and it works! Hope you guys like it!

Warning: this is not a flashable zip. You have been warned.
Instructions:
1. Download
2. Rename to bootanimation.zip
3. Go to /system/media, backup your current one to your SD card, just in case you want to change it back because you don't like it or this boot animation is too beautiful till your eyes can't handle it.
4. Copy the new bootanimation.zip you downloaded to /system/media.
5. Reboot and enjoy the new boot animation!
I own nothing. Credit goes to the person who did this!

thanks for sharing it to us... this should be implented to custom roms or maybe edited for own statisfaction Kudos
Would be cool to have this animation in the list of bootanimatioms that you can choose when using Aroma.
