Boot Animation - Simple Inverted Incredible Loading

A lot of people like to have flashy, colorful, crazy boot animations. I like to keep it simple, very simple.
Overwrite the bootanimation.zip or VZW_bootanimation.zip wherever it's located on your ROM (usually /data/local or /system/customize/resource). I prefer to do this with Root Explorer.
I don't know if small-sized boot animations have any impact on start-up speed, but this one's pretty lightweight.
(Update: matching splash screen added in post below)

This looks really good and I have installed it.
Can you make a splash screen that appears just prior to this animation?

Here you go!
Place PB31IMG.zip on the root of your SD card. Reboot to Hboot.
You should be prompted to install your custom splash1.
(I actually made this splash screen a couple months ago, but I since removed the 'TM' from the logo --- original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=753938)

I got em both working!
Thanks, again!

I love the simplicity of this. I took a similar approach in uncommon sense. well done.

Before I try this, I just want to make sure that my phone can take it. Im running CMod and I just want to replace the splash screen that first pops up when it turns on, not the boot animation. If I install the Pbimg.zip file will that just replace my splash screen? also before I do this, can a nandroid backup restore my splash screen If I want to revert back to the origional? Thanks. I really like this splash screen and it looks totally awesome. Please PM me for your Answers!

The splash screen wont replace your boot animation. And nandroid doesnt save splash screens.

For some reason every time I try to install the PB31Img.zip it doesent install in HBoot. I have no idea what could be the problem. i also tried to install it from CWmod and that didnt work Either? Any ideas as to what might be the cause? I really like this splash screen but for some reason it just wont flash in hboot. I have S-Off but for some reason it still doesent work.

I'm not sure what the issue might be. Make sure you are in the Bootloader screen that says "HBOOT", not "FASTBOOT". When you load HBOOT, it should prompt you after a few seconds to install the update. (ClockworkMod/Recovery shouldn't be used at all for updating splash screens)
I just double checked the attachment posted here. Works fine. Make sure you place it on the root of your SD card.

Thanks for the boot animation. It's lightweight and speedy, just what I needed.

Is your SD Card formatted to FAT32? That's where I slipped up, once I did that I could mod my splash to my heart's content
EDIT: Agh, sorry, didn't see page 2 of this thread and thus remy2501's already suggested this. What else could be wrong.. is it on the root of your SD Card? Is the volume up rocker the first button you press when going in to hboot?

Remember to be very specific as to the name, the only thing you should be installing in the root must be named: PB31IMG
Not PB31IMG.zip or PB31img and so on.....if that doesn't work there might be a problem with that particular splash screen. Once you get it installed, remember to remove that zip file from the root otherwise next time you go into HBoot it will ask you to reinstall......Good luck !

Oddly enough, I lost 3G after installing this. After rolling back to a previous backup, 3G is back.
I installed it around 3pm yesterday and somehow was oblivious to not having 3G. My phone had even restarted a few times after that, yet no 3G. All day I have been wondering why my 3G hasn't been working, never tied it back to this load screen. I rolled back to a previous backup and 3G came on instantly and a full day's worth of emails and gtalk messages streamed in.
Curious to know if anyone else encountered the same?
I'm running Miui btw.

wow nice combo looks smoothe and simple and just what i was looking for.

i had this problem too but not with the boot animation. i had to install king kernel to get 3g working on virtuious rom in order to fix it.

any chance of making a shutdown.zip?

causing 3g to not work.
Not sure if it was the splash or boot animation, but 3g would not work after installing these on Virtuous 3.01 with the Adrynalyne Custom Kernel v2.

Flashed this and have no problems with 3g on virtuous. Thanks for it!

[Q] Splash screen help??

Ok devs or whoever....
I am looking for some info and apparently i couldnt find any.. (this where u make me look like an @ss and send me a link or not)
I was able to flash a splash screen (very first screen u see when booting up) on both my G1 and M3GS but havent on my G2 or G2x.. Whats in entail to do so the the G2X... To change the first screen...(aka trinity when u flash morfics kernel)
I read somewhere that the boot.img needs to be split to do so... ??? ... Any info would be nice...... Subtle hints to the right whereabouts for this info would be nice to....

Use root explorer and go into system> media. In that file you'll see bootanimation.zip. You can change that out with another .zip of your choosing and rename it bootanimation.zip. This was how it was done with the Vibrant and I would think it would be the same with the G2X.

Ok Charlie ill check it out... thought that was just the boot animation though without splash screen. Mmk though

I have not been able to change it either using various guides. Changing bootanimation.zip will not change the splash screen, only the boot animation.

This is worth the $1 or whatever it is in sooooo many ways. Look at the related apps too (boot installer)... dude... you have no idea the simplicity of this and how clean each install was (I have tried probably 20+ of the boots and was able to customize by ripping one of the zip packets off the SD.... it shows the split too in the zip file.

...oohhhh... I missed that clarification. Ok so you want to change the "LG" splash just before the bootani starts... let me look, I gotta get back to you though... I came across that a while back and the instructions that the dev dropped with it didn't work but I tweaked it and got it. I gotta dig..

Yay the lg screen before bootanimation....
From what I read its un boot.img and that needs to be unpacked which would meen that every new rom flashed would have to b edited I assume

Yeah I can see it when I dig with root explorer and then throw the .rle in my drop box. I looked for that installer and was hitting blanks but I will find it today and also tweak that graphics archive. GIve me a few to diddle.

I also have a ViewSonic GTablet, which is also a Tegra 2 device. See this procedure:
http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/162...logos-replace-viewsonic-logo-g-tabletzpad-t2/
Basically you use nvflash to put a bitmap file on a specific partition.
THE ABOVE PROCEDURE WILL NOT WORK ON YOUR G2X, but it's a starting point to figure out how to do it on the G2x.

Hey IB you make any progress?

|BOOT & DOWN Animation| HTC Black

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....

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).

Are you able to select fastboot? You can run an ruu from pc with phone connected in fastboot. You will need to install HTC sync to get the drivers if your pc isn't recognizing your device. In the link to the other thread I have the ruu posted.

You put a PB31IMG.zip?? that is not for your hboot, which is PD98IMG. Anyway, what rom were you flashing? It seems that you are prone to flash other phones stuff in yours.
Have you flashed recovery again? seems that you have no recovery at all. Use the guide in my signature to flash recovery again. You are S-OFF, so there is no need to flash a RUU.

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!

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 !

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!
