Thanks much appreciated!

no problem, if u need help making one just let me know

can you look at this please and see why it wont work..

Process is totally different to the g1 as the boot animation resides in a different place and is actually a collection ofpng images.
I haven't been able to get it working either i have tried rezipping the files after editing. Tried dropping the images into a zip without unzipping. Alwaysr results in a black screen. Maybe one of the guys who have got it going can help?

its not different for a g1 using a 2.1 rom.
problem is you have a folder called bootanimation within the zip, it should just be bootanimation.zip with part0, part1 and desc.txt
and the images are compressed within the zip, the zip should be set to store only

Hey i also want to make my own bootanimation. For this i search this short flash animation which was used on the google developer conference. All the small green androids who change their design.
Perhaps someone can help me, and i hope everyone understands what i try to say.

[Bootanimation] Retrograde Sensation+Black Htc+Beats boot animations all into one!

Give credit to where credit is due(see below), but I wouldn't mind a "Thank you!" I put these boot animations together for you guys to use if you want. Perfect for all the XE roms or Beats injected roms floating around. Just replace your old bootanimation with the attached file and VOILA! Reboot and enjoy!
Preview by downloading this animated gif. Actual bootanimation is high res, of course, animated gif quality is for the sake of preview file size...you guys get the idea. Animation ends after the beats portion, the preview loops.

Thanks man.. do you have a screenshot or video?

yeah, i couldn't decide and i like them all so i put it all together...lol

Any chance someone could change these so we can use them as the Fastboot startup animation?
There's an extra 5 pix in regular boot animation, so if i just take 5 out it won't look as good.

Thanks arn, ****s clean!

Any chance of getting a downanimation to match it? By the way thanks for the bootanimation.

you need root, copy the file to your sd card, then overwrite bootanimation.zip file in data/local, use root explorer(paid) or es file explorer(free)

Hi arn82,
Thanks for that. It is beautiful.
Would you build one version that without the Black HTC Bootanimation ? I believe the bootanimation without the Black HTC will feel something NEW and SIMPLE.

You can go into the zip file and delete the "android_black_htc" folder, then edit desc.txt file and remove "p 1 1 android_black_htc " and that'll remove the black htc part

[Q] Trying to change Boot Animation on Samsung Transform Ultra...I'm stumped.

I'm trying to change the boot animation on my rooted Samsung Transform Ultra on Boost Mobile. I found the bootanimation.zip file in /system/media/ but replacing this file with another one doesn't work! It'll just give me a black screen when it does the Boost Mobile animation and the Samsung animation after that. The startup sound seems to be hidden too, as it's not in /data/local or /system/etc or any other location I've seen. What can I do to change the bootanimation and the startup sound? I'm using ES File Explorer with Superuser permissions and I use the ConnectBot terminal emulator.
Thank you for your time, I await a response.

I am not too sure about this but sometimes the boot animation is built into the framework try using the out kitchen and maybe flashing it as a mod??
here a link:
http://uot.dakra.lt/

I should also mention this phone runs stock Android with just Sprint's SprintID system added and a ThinkOffice bloatware app added. Other than that, it's pretty much stock Android.

Upon a lot of further research, it looks like Samsung locks the kernel down like a military base, because everything involving bootup animations is buried and split into multiple files and the essential files are buried in the framework.
Changing the bootup animation would require a flash of a new kernel and new ROM.
Thank you for your help!

ok boot animation is in the rom and kernal thats it you cant change it without one or the other thats it unless you are really good with sdk just be content or root and flash rom or kernal to the last post any rom and kernal has a aftermarket

if i may check our cyanogenmod roms trinity kernals and or faux kernals may i suggest rom manager premium and or google search if you need help pm me i will get back asap
please hit thanks if it helps

if you are looking for a new rom i would suggest cyanogenmod 7 just installed it and it runs really nice and i know the out kitchen does support cyanogenmod so you would be able to select a boot animation from their inventory
ps glad i could help

Hello, good day, if you flashed CM7 to the Transform Ultra please upload the zip. Also Expect donations if you like money that is.
In response to the thread, you need root access, after that it's as simple as searching in the market.

4-way reboot for jb

hi... is there a 4-way reboot mod available that works properly with jb? can someone be kind enough to post it here? i've seen some custom roms supporting it but i cant find a thread just for the mod and a rom is too large to download just to get the mod... besides, i don't know what file it is... tnx!

I'll try, but it is going to be difficult. From what I understand, it is a change to the framework-res.apk and a android.policy.jar or something file, but they use a set matching memory code, and the framework from the rom with the reboot option will probably not be compatable with your rom, with all the other tweaks and mods made.
You're best bet would be to just flash the rom with the reboot option to make sure everything works fine. I flashed it on my 8013 and with the ondemand governor, all works fine

Try this, I haven't tested it, make sure that you make a backup in recovery first. If it flashes and the stuff is not compatible, you will be stuck in a boot loop and need to restore from recovery.
There is also a chance that it does not flash, I have had some issue with some of my zips periodically not flashing right sometimes on the note 10.1
If you get an error while trying to flash, just reboot, unzip with something like rom toolbox, then rezip it back up and then it should work.

It seems to work fine for me so far, I restored to darkman_rs and flashed the zip, Worked fine so far and the reboot works as well

1. next time please wait if i give permission to use the files from my Rom!
2. on xda there some instruction to make this mod, you have only edit android.policy.jar

Do you want me to take the link down? I had asked on your rom thread, I figured it was just a small part of it and I had been working on trying to do it myself for a while but all the guides on it I have been able to find have not worked for me.

No, now its ok
But normaly wait for permission and dont post the files before.
I dont look every time in the forum here.

first, would like to thank Chrack and Team Union for the mod... thank you smaw51 as well for extracting the files... will test it once i get home...

just tested it out... unfortunately it's not compatible with the stock rooted busyboxed deodexed jb rom... most of the apps f/c...

It only occupies 3/4 of my screen... any idea? Is it a problem with my custom animation file or something to do with some settings...

Another issue bits the dust... Issue resolved... Thanks for this wonderful MOD... If anyone else have the same issue, change the resolution in desc.txt file in the zip file to 1080 1920... That should solve the issue...
Cheers!

Didn't read all pages here, but just reporting anyway....
It didn't work on my GNote2 running the leaked 4.3...
Probably won't work on S3 devices as well
The one from @anbech also didn't go here...
.

It's alliiiiivvvve!
Followed the directions as listed and now I have the boot animation I want. Thanks for doing the grunt work!

Hello AmniX, I added your file in my ROM for I9300 with base 4.3. Works great but the characters are very small, as if it were a problem dpi.
Solutions?

tested on my leaked note 2 4.3 and it worked great! thanks OP!

Tested on Galaxy S4 (I9505), it works and currently this is the only bootanimation binary got it working on newer 4.3 base.
Only hiccup though if I use boot animation prepared for S4 it runs in a smaller window, basically thinking it is running in a tablet mode.
Since it is a binary we may not be able to mod the file, let me know any ideas.
Even with the current state I'm glad able to get bootanimation.zip files working for 4.3 S4 now.
Thanks

Hey everyone, Galaxy Note 2 Here,
I have the leaked 4.3 firmware and I installed this using PhilZ recovery PhilZ5.
now I'm getting a black screen and I can do anything with the phone, but everything is black, black screen everywhere!
any help?
thanks
Edit:
fixed, I just had to delete the bootanimation.zip
I did it through adb cuz I had no display.
Now custom animations work ^_^

Thanks a lot!
It works. i change my s3 boot animation from samsung to google edition.
