I decided to make a tutorial on how to change the boot animation. Mainly for the lulz but also because some people may struggle with the process. This is done purely for fun, I am also in no way trying to steal anybodies work enjoy.

Ok so I think I finally have this working correctly, I really liked frysee's bios boot animation but I wanted one for the Evo, so I ripped off his work.
I edited most of the info to make it match the Evo specs, but some stuff I couldn't easily find on the web so if anything is inaccurate I would be more than happy to update the animation if you give me the correct info. Also I think the speed is pretty good, maybe pause a little longer at the end of the first screen but I wanted to hear some feedback on it before I did anything. (renaming 50 images just to try something out isnt much fun).
Ive attached the file below, If someone could sign it for me great, otherwise I just use pushboot to easily add it in. Also there is no sound, I thought about adding in a system beep noise but thats not really worth it.

First off, this is my very first boot animation, so don't be too harsh. I would like to thank everyone here at XDA, because without you guys I wouldn't know absolutely anything. I also want to give a quick thanks to Lrod0175 because I used his animation as a reference to figure out how to make mine work.
I made this boot animation as a learning experience, but I do plan to make more. It is themed after the last Harry Potter movie because I saw a request for it earlier today.
I didn't make the video run in full 480*800 because it stretches the video and makes it look.. awkward. Instead, I ran it at it's default video size and animated some "HTC Evo 4G" text to move around a little bit at the beginning. Also, it is somewhat short, again, this was mainly a test for myself to see if I could figure out how to make one. It is designed for Sense based ROM's as well.
PREVIEW (You can watch in 1080, full screen, if you want.)

You need to push this to /Data/Local if you are on Kinged Kingdom RLS 2.1. You may also have to change the permissions on it with Root Explorer or something similar.
Let me know what you think of it and please "Thank" me if you like it.

That's awesome and great work!!! Where's the sound though ?
I was only really focused on the actual animation in this one, so i didn't put any sound with it. I plan on making some more very soon and ill incorporate sound into those.

Nice man can't wait to see it!
Nice
Looks great!
Hi,
Could someone help/guide me through making a simple boot animation for HD2 Android? I have searched XDA and googled and so far all I have found is how to make dynamic boot animation with multiple picture sequels in a loop format. This is NOT what I am looking for. I need a very simple boot animation that will one show one picture that you want throughout the booting cycle until you get the start up screen...NO flying saucer..peeing on Apple or anything like that..just one plain simple image of your choice until the phone boots up to start menu. Your help/guidance will be highly appreciated. Thanks again.
how can i change the boot animation
this is something like what i am looking for http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=701574 or like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308294
I would also be interested in this. How can I Change it, (or can I just remove it to speed up the booting process?)
Removing the boot animation doesn't help speed up boot times. It's been widely spectated, that's why there still is one, since it's pleasing to the eye while waiting for the rather long load. You can easily change the boot animation, by editing the build.prop file.
I was wondering about this too, One will it screw up my rom? I like to mess around with modding my phone but really hate the whole backup, wipe, flash thing and would like to avoid that. Also I really liked one certain boot animation from a Custom rom that I can't remember and dont seem to have on my computer. It was little colored light ribbon things crashing into an X like symbol and it looked really cool. I'm currently using Generic Ginger 4.1 and I'd like to see something different than the basic android thing when I turn my phone on.
system/media/bootanimation.zip
Need Bali or Platypus.
Use the search feature. Freedom of choice.. is what you got.
It depends on what you would like to change it to... like orange said, thats the extension to get into the file. bootanimation.zip is the entire boot animation, to replace it, simply replace it with another bootanimation.zip... There is a list of many of them if you google it. If you replace it, sometimes the screen size is a little different so you will have to change the first 2 set of numbers in desc.txt in the zip file, I've done it for the haters gonna hate boot animation.

full list of boot animations there, and Nexus 1 is the one that you're looking for with the X
So i just cracked my cs5 back open and started studying up on theming, I'm looking to get into doing full android design but figure let's start small..
Anyhow, any devs looking for designs for logos, signatures, boot animations, graphic elements for UI, etc. shoot me a PM, and any users with ideas, requests, etc, feel free to request on this thread, though I am looking to try and fall in with the devs, i will be open to suggestions if they become common requests, especially boot animations, i am looking to put something out there for people to use instead of bland Asus logos, they get so boring.
Requests are on first come first serve basis, and all work will be voluntary unless otherwise agreed upon.
Thanks!

If I had the original I could modify the images, right now I'm not using any 3d rendering software so I can't make that kind of animation from scratch without downloading a few more applications..i guess I'll get on top of that, but until then I can really only produce 2d animations with proficiency.
Thanks for the link though!
