As usual, I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone.
Requirements:
Rooted myTouch 4G
Android 2.2/2.3
Fingers
Brain
Root Explorer (or similar)
I had a request for a BIOS style boot animation in my splash screen thread. So here is what came up with. I used two different style animations as my base. The first came from frysee, whose N1 BIOS this was modified from. The other came from jeckyll. I used the same style as his animation for the HD2. Both have minor differences from the originals and of course they have the specs from our phones.* These are also very generalized so they can be used with any 2.2 ROM. Enjoy!
Instructions Android 2.2:
Copy/download the animation's zip to your SD card
Open Root Explorer
Rename the file to TMUS_bootanimation.zip (Only for stock/iced glacier. Name may change for other roms. CM 6 it should be bootanimation.zip)
Copy the animation to /system/customize/resources (don't forget to mount the resources folder as r/w before copying)
Done!
Instructions CM 7:
Copy/download the animation's zip to your SD card
Open Root Explorer
Copy the animation from your SD card to /system/media/ (don't forget to mount the media folder as r/w before copying)
Done!
Instructions for copying with Android Commander by neidlinger (see original post here / pictures are in original post)
neidlinger said:
Five easy steps using "Android Commander" Source for Android Commander
Pre-reqs
1: phone
2: drivers to connect your phone to your computer
3: Android Commander
4: brains and the ability to follow directions
1: open Android Commander and make sure you have Root Access, Bottom left corner.
2: Navigate to the target folder, you can use the address bar below the window to get there quickly. IE Gingerbread you'd type in "/system/media/"and it will take you directly to that folder.
3: delete the bootanimation
4: Push the bootanimation to that folder
5: use adb shell to check for animation.
my pictures below are for Gingerbread.
if you screw up your phone, it's your fault.

You can test your animation by opening a command window and typing
adb shell
bootanimation
exit with Ctrl+C
(This can also be done through the terminal emulator, though I'm not sure how to exit. I tried it and had to use adb to reboot. So I don't recommend doing it this way! )
Also, with the second animation, there was a request for a splash screen that said loading. That is included here as well. Instructions for
flashing can be found in my thread for custom splash screens.
There is also a new splash screen that matches the CM 7 animation. Instructions to flash are the same.
Thanks to jayizzbakk for being my guinea pig for the Android 2.2 animations!
And thanks to macheteZen for all his input and testing for the CM 7 animation!
Downloads are available in the next post.
*If there are any mistakes on the specs of the phone, please let me know!!! I will gladly modify these that way they are perfect!
Here are the downloads.
The boot animation for CM 7 is named bootanimation.zip
CM7BIOSLoad.img is a splash screen for the CM7 animation.
All others are for Android 2.2
wow thats awesome thank you!
i'm interested to so know how to plug these into a AOSP ROM.
You using CM7?
Sent from my Senseless Iced Glacier
Edit: It looks like you should just have to name it bootanimation.zip. Then copy/push it to /system/media. If this doesn't work let me know and I'll see what I can come up with.

Lol, very nice, you just beat me to this. I downloaded the N1 bios boot last night and was going to edit tonight. I may still do it to get Ice Glacier in there eventually. Thanks for getting this up.
Awesome stuff, thanks! I usually never care about the small details like boot anims, but this one is sweet

It is a little bit of a process, but I am more than happy to explain it to you! PM me the times you have available in the next couple of days and we can work out a time to get together on tinychat or something so I can explain it.

I took a class in high school where I learned very basic use of Photoshop. The boot animations here require very little knowledge of Photoshop. My proficiency with Photoshop is pretty low, I really don't have much experience with it.

"CM7 Bios Animation coming soon!"
Eagerly awaiting release! Looks great thanks!
It's awesome but my phone boots too fast to finish the entire thing lol
Hi All.
I have had some free time so i thought i would try something i have never done. While browsing a while ago i saw some bios boot animations, so i thought i would kick off with one i made for are vegas. If i get the time i will make some more. They are easy to make, just a bit time consuming making all the .pngs for the animation (there are around 75) Feel free to edit my animations, all i ask is that you post them in this thread if you want to share them. If you plan to add it to a rom please only edit the rom info and leave my details in. "Boot By Original_Ganjaman" and credit my work.
Edit: Added New vega Boot Animation
Installation:
1 - Download the Boot Animation, rename it to bootanimation.zip and copy it to your SD card.
2 - Copy the bootanimation.zip to Data/local on your device (i use root explorer)
3 - Restart your Device and enjoy the new boot animation
To revert to normal boot screen just delete bootanimation.zip from Data/local.
If you like this thread please click the "Thanks Button"

Nice!
I knew it from HTC phones Android ROMs, didn't know its possible for tablets as well.
Will try it tomorrow.
I've just installed it already. A bit of nostalgia with the Vega prompt, I love Sega Genesis/Mega Drive since I was a child Thanks a lot!

The new 1.09 update has a small android picture instead of the booting text, that usually appears, and the bootloader size seems to have changed too, so I think that it is possible, but we don't know how...

No problem using this in your rom. Just as i said in my first post, if you have edited any .pngs please only post in this thread. Using a unmodified one is fine. (changing FPS etc is fine) I just dont want modified versions of my work being posted else where. What is the small change you have made?

As discussed, I changed my modification, it shows now the original author of the animation.
On the published ROM I use the first 2 of the attached examples.
On my own tablet I show instead the owner information, as shown in the last 2 attached examples.
Thats fine. I have updated my first post to cater for people who want to add it to a rom.
Take it easy

Hi All,
Pop over to Modaco where "Wobblydoggy" has posted the honeycomb boot animation. Read the whole thread and then choose the second version.
Worked well for me, as Wobbly said a little grainy, but I like it a lot
I made (ported) a bootanimation. [MY FIRST CONTRIBUTION TO XDA SINCE I JOINED]
mixture of nexus 1(without the htc logo appearing)
+ a cyanogen 3d animation(which I got from nexus 1 themes and apps section)
+ android pissing on apple. ALL IN ONE!
http://db.tt/gMFnd2e
actually I made it for myself but thought of sharing it.
To port a animation which you like (to make is difficult than port)-
1. unzip 'bootanimation.zip' or any other name which you want to port.
2. you see 1 or 2 or more folders + a .txt file.
2. batch resize all png images in all those folders to 240*400 using 'Fast Stone Photo Resizer'.. no need to change anything else. (they would be of different resolution as they are made for different phone.)
3. edit using 'notepad++' the 'desc.txt' file and change the resolution value typed there to 240 400.
4. the folders and .txt file are ready.
5. archive these files using '7zip'
archive format- zip
compression level- store
don't change anything else and zip it.
6. YOUR BOOTANIMATION IS PORTED.
To apply custom bootanimation-
1. rename the zip to bootanimation.zip
2. move using root explorer to /data/local/ or /system/media/ either of them only, don't move to both!
3. remove 'playlogo' from /system/bin/
4. EVERYTHING DONE!! JUST REBOOT AND ENJOY!! :
WARNING- ITS THE SIMPLEST EXPLANATION EVEN A NOOB CAN UNDERSTAND BUT EVEN THEN IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE. BACKUP 'playlogo' IN CASE YOU WANT TO REVERT TO ORIGINAL BOOTANIMATION AND REVERSE FOLLOW THE GUIDE.
ROOTED PHONE NEEDED.
this is just ported by me, made by different people. The guide I wrote was googled from different sources and I tried the simplest way for myself and thus for the post.
Good work !
1. use Fast Stone Photo Resizer for resizing the .png files
2. notepad++ for editing desc.txt file, not the windows notepad.
3. 7zip, not winzip/winrar/anything else.
this is all I needed to port bootanimation.
Mod edit : remove the same
dont ask for the thanks button it is to be given by the member of his own free will & not to be asked for
Edit: solved. post delete.
I have
1.uploaded the file over xda.
2. added a download link for non xda members.
If you want to mix animations as I have done, maintain the animation sequence by renaming the files in sequence you want to play your animation, in those 2 folders.
You can better unzip my animation and check what I have done about mixing different animations and it's sequence.

Ported? when I want to use boot animation from other device(galaxy tab.animation 800x600), I only coppy animation in system/media, and this work awersome.. I think, that resize is only waste of time...IMHO
I used irfanview to batch resize and windows notepad to edit the file.
Ziped the files with winrar.
It works great! Thanks for the infos!

No not just ported, I edited them to add the android pissing on apple in place of that htc logo + there is a bit of cm7. I mean I edited that 'nexus one bootanimation'

Ya irfanview is a nice 'open source' alternative.
I used 7zip because I love 'open source', anyway that 'compression - store' is important.
But I read somewhere that windows notepad adds 'something' which I don't know, to the text file making it difficult or unreadable for android, result-black boot screen, again I am not sure. never tried it.
Notepad++ does no such thing.
So I recommended it.
very very cool boot animation.. thanks a lot!!
would be more enjoyable if that pissing scene could last a bit longer!!

Hi
Actually the frame rate is bit high,18/s
Maybe reducing it to 15 or 16 would be fine.
Also, in the original pissing animation, pissing scene loops and so lasts longer. Here it plays only once.
adding new pictures for pissing scene is possible but it would be a painful job, renaming and all those stuff again!

REQUIRES ROOT ACCESS
If you want to change your boot animation, its easy.
1. Download Root Explorer off the market (which costs like 3 BUCKS)
2. Inside root explorer, press button up top "MOUNT R/W"
3. Download your bootanimation.zip
4. Extract the bootanimation.zip.
5. After you extracted, you will find another bootanimation.zip inside the one you just extracted.
6. Move the .zip into system/media. (Delete or Backup the original inside)
7. Long click the zip once you moved.
8. Go to permissions.
9. Tick all boxes.
10.Reboot and Enjoy!
Any Problems PM me and i will edit this thread. Thanks all
The same occurs when you do it with a computer program such as Droid Explorer.

It's just a boot animation- nothing harmful so I doubt it wil effect your system.
The worst would be a very pixelated and slow boot animation if your desired boot animation is for LDPI (Lower Def) Devices.

quick question.
my bootanimation is the bios one i founf on this forum
did all i had to do and it works on my X10
BUT,
it doesnt load completely i get the (enter pin code) frame before its finished.
what i did was delete some pictures in the zip (the double frames (pics that look the same))
and renamed em all to follow in sequence seeing im pretty new to all this and wasnt sure if it was needed.
now its loading a bit further in the pictures cause i see more changes in the X time its loading.
now my point is can i edit/do something to make it finish and THEN enter the pin code or ? did i do something wrong.
uploaded it with total commander .. the permissions you talked about i didnt do that is that root explorer only or ?
thnx in advance

Sorry I'm not an expert in that field, sorry I don't know how to deal with that. Yeah the permissions are for root explorer but if another program supports permissions in that form, them it's for that other program as well.

it is correct the desc.txt (for xperia X8 its "320 480" without quotes) also the folders are correctly named and the zip file is in /data/local with the right permissions aswell.
using "adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local"
all that i end up with is a quick boot logo then black screen until the keypad for pin code comes up.
Here is the bootanimation file btw: Bootanimation.zip
UPDATE: saw now it said "part1" and "part2" in desc.txt even tho i didnt type that, so i changed that, pushed file and still same same but lil different =/
Btw ive searched all over XDA and i found a post that said it can be placed inside /system/customize/resource/
is that correct is it it way way waaaay off ?
Yeah we have tried alot off stuff but nothing helps. So please someone help us !!
Problem is your desc.txt
You need to use linux to edit it (or any editor that doesn't use CRLF for separating lines)
Don't make separate lines between the data.
Attachment may help.
I used the Text Editor in Root Explorer, but maybe the problem is, that the bootanimation.zip has to be a store-only-zip,compressed ones won´t work

Thanks for help dx, tho it went to a complete black screen as before.
im using ubuntu 11 on a virtualbox inside wintendo btw.
no idea why this dont work as intended but curse the one who ever gives up, through hard times you learn
Use notepad++ (or Linux )
Use STORE method when creating zip.
@Baronen, I'm responding to your PM here so i can help others too.. the problem with the animation you sent me by PM is that it's compressed.. When you pack it you need to be sure that the compression is set to "0" or "store", depending on what program you are using..
quoting goonsquadx8
all that i end up with is a quick boot logo then black screen until the keypad for pin code comes up.

This happens when the desc.txt has an error or is malformed.. As DX said, you need to use a specific editor, notepad won't do it.. You can use notepad++ but you have to configure it so it treats text like unix.
PIC: http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/7074/notepadj.png
Some other tips:
Always convert your images to 256 colors
Don't use more than 12/15 FPS
Try not to use the native device resolution (320x480), even with low fps the animation will get slow.. take the ones on froyobread for ex, they are slow because the images are at 320x480 (yeah i will fix them when i have a bit of time)
EDIT: goonsquadx8, just saw your desc.txt file, you have blank lines between the arguments

I usually put my animation in the media folder in froyo bread and it works...only thing I do is make a copy of the zip file and will name the two zip files bootanimation_cm6.zip and bootanimation_cm7.zip....and will keep these both files in system>media folder....
when making the animation I usually takes the dimensions of the picture around 256x256 pix...also in the text file I write 320 480 as my resolution...this will help to stretch my pic to full screen......
Okey thanks everyone it works fine now !!!!
XDA is the best

Are you sure that they work? I haven't tried them but i noticed that the desc.txt files have blank lines between the arguments and i'm not sure if android likes those filenames... For ex, you named them xxxx_280x420.png and i think that the number sequence "xxxx" must be at the end of the name, although i can be totally wrong
Anyway, one thing you can do is to reduce the color number to 256 and those 3MB files will drop to half a kilobyte
