[Bootanimation] Google Gears

Simple as that.
Goes for HTC EVO 3D too, as well as any 540×960 android phone.
Animation ported from "Google齿轮" MIUI theme.
Make it:
/system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip, or
/system/customize/resource/TMOUS_bootanimation.zip, if you have a T-Mobile Sensation, or
/system/customize/resource/VF_bootanimation.zip, if you have a Vodafone Sensation.

nice one.... thanks

Thanks a lot for this.
Just renamed the current bootanimation.zip file, copied this one into its place, rebooted and it's working fine.
Cheers!

Seems i can't copy the zip file to the system folder.
Got an error about "read only"!
What am i doing wrong?

permissions?

Yeah i think it has something to do with permissions but I don't know how I can change this.
Tried to Google it but couldn't find it.
Ps. Using ASTRO to copy the files.

Use es file explorer from market (better than astro imho). Put on root option and mount system as writable. Then you can rename original bootanimation.zip and place new as bootanimation.zip. if you don't like new one, delete bootanimation.zip and rename original to bootanimation.zip

Thanks for the info m_speksnijder, with ES Explorer it works!
New bootscreen looks great!

I think I am going mad I have flashed 4.1.7 and cant seem to find where to put the boot amimation? I thought I would have to replace one that is already there? sorry if a stupid question but if you can help it would be great
I have something caled downanimation in system/customize/resource but that is the only zip file in there, do I just to copy this file to this directory and reboot?
EDIT its ok it is in data/local if anybody else needs the file location
cheers for a great boot animation

Using ES file explorer. Put on root? Do you mean root your device? If that case, I am rooted, and all that.
But I can't find System folder :S

Open ES, hit menu button, scroll down to "root options" section, turn on both options (root explorer and mount file system), exit menu, klik on the blue star on the left in de topbar and click on the "phone" icon. Then navigate to "system/customize/resource" or "data/local" (depends on the rom your using). than follow my earlier post. If you're done, turn of the option "mount file system" just to be sure you do not delete anything when scrolling around in your system partitions.

Thx! Now, just download bootanimation/downanimation and rename the new one? Then restart the device and all done?
And what happens if I accedentaly delete something when scrolling down?

Thanks works like a charm. I change permissions just in case.

Nice work...
I like it! Clean, simple... very nice.

[Q] Stock boot animation + sound?

I flashed Humble 4.22 and I really don't like the animation. I would also like that robotic DRROID sound back. Does someone have the original files with instructions on how to change it?

First,
download the boot animation from here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/43901231/bootanimation.zip
and the bootup sound from http://dl.dropbox.com/u/43901231/PowerOn.wav and place them on your sd card.
Next, use root explorer and go to SYSTEM/media and rename the"bootanimation.zip" that is in there to "bootanimation.zip.bak" then copy the stock animation from your sd card to the system/media directory.
For the sound file, copy the "poweron.wav" from your sdcard to SYSTEM/etc using root explorer. Reboot and enjoy. =)

On ES file explorer the file in /system/bin/ is "bootanimation"
I can rename it to "bootanimation.bak"
Then I can paste your file, which shows up as "bootanimation.zip"
Will this work? I am afraid to reboot and try

Sorry, good catch. bootanimation.zip needs to go in system/media. I'll edit my previous post.

May have been a bad download. Try downloading the one from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1247131
And trying again.

Well it looks like the bootanimation in that thread only contains a black frame. So unless you can find another source or someone who knows more than me replies you're stuck with the humble animation (Unless you want to just keep the black screen). Sorry.
To go back to the humble animation just delete the new bootanimation.zip from system/media and remove the .bak from the original humble animation.

Flashing a new boot?

How can I do this? I want to get the Android eating the Apple boot on my phone. Is it just a simple flash in CWM?

no you will need to find that boot animation (or create it using this guide) then you will need use a file explorer to navigate to system/resources/customize and change bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.,zip.bak.
then place the new boot animation you found (android eating an apple) and place it in the system/resources/cuustomize folder. reboot and you will see it.

So, I would have to re-flash the current ROM?

No, no, no.... In my sig you have all info what you need.
With RootExplorer or EStrong file manager you only replace a boot & downanimation.
And you must change a permits for the new file (rw-,r--,r--)

I have ES Explorer, yet can't find a way to it. U went into settings and checked off root explorer.

I downloaded Root Explorer, and got it to work. Thanks guys!

Does the OGG file go to the root of my SD Card like the bootanimation.zip or somewhere else?
And if me no likey other than restore a Nandroid is there any way to return the boring stock ATT boot?
Btw I'm using BMM on rooted stock 4.04. Thanks.

Thanks for replying. My current bootanimation.zip is in system/media & so is att_pu.ogg. So the OGG doesn't replace the current one in system/media?
So if I wanted to go back I'd reflash my current bootanimation.zip? Replacing the modified bootanimation.ogg with the original att_pu.ogg?
Or do I need both bootanimation.ogg and the original att_pu.ogg?

Leave the original .ogg and jusr replace the bootanimation.zip the animation is dependent on the one you flash so whnever you decide to go bck to stock you will still have the orignal melody...

Ok so I can rename the original to att_bootanimation.zip just to keep it handy & add bootanimation.zip to system/media to flash from?
Leave att_pu.ogg where it is now? Put bootanimation.ogg to the root of my SD Card not in system/media?
Make a Nandroid. Using BMM flash bootanimation.zip? Reboot & I'm done?
But I need the ATT bootanimation.zip not the one available currently linked?
Thanks.

Not the root of ur sd in the system/media via root explorer change permissions to R/W and replace the earlier animation......
You should be able to find the original moto animations in the themes tab on the main A2 page
i think altred made a link on it somewhere on that tab...

Thanks. This should help me also from that link.
To install (for those who are not familiar with the process):
1. copy bootanimation_moto_pulse.zip file to SD card
2. using Root Explorer (or the like) copy from SD card and paste to /system/media (make sure you mount r/w)
3. delete the current bootanimation.zip (make sure to save a copy on your SD card first, if you haven't already)
4. rename bootanimation_moto_pulse.zip to bootanimation.zip
5. mount r/o, exit Root Explorer, reboot, and watch the moto logo throb

Rename it to "droidhd.ogg" without the quotes, of course. Then make sure it is located at /system/media with the bootanimation.zip. Set the permissions to both to rw-r--r-- make sure the owner reads:
Owner 0-root
Group 0-root
Then reboot. It's really quiet, in my opinion. I'm considering boosting the volume of the .ogg if anyone would be interested in that, let me know.
If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.
