greetings,
this is my first contribution to anything android, so please give constructive criticism and i will do the same
I saw @teamsilence23 posted a tweet about needing a boot animation for the Glacier's first custom rom. So i thought what the hell and tried it out. I dont know much about editing pictures with any sort of smoothness, but i hope that this can be a learning experience hah not entirely sure about editing the desc.txt for speed and such, so i left it alone.
I am planning on doing more to this boot animation, and am more than happy to take requests, ideas, instructions. So please help me learn!
Zip file should be placed in
/system/customize/resource/
So whether you do it by ADB, root explorer, etc. is up to you.
I am leaving this on the short side since I need to get to sleep, but if there is anything wrong with this post or it's contents, I am more than happy to change it with as much enthusiasm as possible
-Cheers
Videos recorded with my old G1.. So quality is shoddy, but you can get the gist of it.

Final PNG in Animation
Saved for doubtful but possible future use
I see everyone else do it so why the heck not haha
There are all kinds of boot animations available form a thread elsewhere in this forum (using one),
What would be nice would be a few splash screens in a format that could(?) be installed with MetaMorth specifically for the MT4G (not Evo), or hopefully without the very convoluted guide in another thread (just not worth all that for a splash screen).
Really hate that white TMo stock splash.
A metamorph version would be really nice and simple. I'll look into it! Thanks for the input!

Not as far as I know. What did you use to install the boot animation?

Hey guys, spent a ton of time on this!!! I hope you like it and please hit Thanks if you do!!! It is not a CWM file, I use Absolute System Tools (boot animation goes in goodies folder) to install it but i'm sure there are other ways if you know your way around the rom you are using. I'll give you a few snippets but it's worthwhile checking it out for yourself.... Enjoy and don't forget Thanks!

Edit: Crap, I totally forgot, silverxbv2 helped me out with the desc.txt, I was running into problems. He's awesome!
I have to like this simply because it is Mortal Kombat. Any chance we could get just the normal fatality without the icons added in though? or if I am allowed to request *anything* I would LOVE for anything Mileena as a boot animation

Yeah, pretty easy to do... might have to wait until tomorrow, i'll see... what do you want to loop though?

0:33 to 0:48 would be pretty much perfect. It could stay on Mileena wins at the end, or just repeat. Not sure how the whole thing works.
I think it would make a pretty cool edit for an Android/Apple thing like the one you originally posted as well. Nothing cooler than an Android ripping off Apple's torso
Oh man, or that first fatality
0:15 to 0:30 would be pretty epic with the apple being eaten.
No rush on getting anything done for me though. The fact that you will even consider it is awesome and much appreciated.
EDIT: If you meant the end, the Android + Google = Fatality bit is still great. I like it. If you would like to reuse that with Mileena on the end instead of Cage, that would be awesome. Or get creative, it's your work and I will be more than happy with anything you might put out for me
LCARS Custom Boot/Down Animations and Splash Screen by Jeremy Herrmann
LINK FOR BOOT/DOWN ANIMATIONS NOW POSTED
ONLY TESTED ON EVO3D, probably won't work on any non-qHD... I will accept requests for ports, just let me know the device, the screen res, and if possible upload a copy of the default.xml (/system/customize/CID or most HTC)
Download signed zip to sd and flash with recovery for Boot/Down Anim
PG86IMG to sd and reboot to bootloader for Splash
I use this on my own phone and love it.... I am happy to answer questions about installation if they come up, but feel the need to post the usual disclaimer of.... while there is no reason this should do anything negative to your phone as long as you follow the directions, should you brick your phone or cause your phone to act goofy, or drop your phone in the toilet, neither the lcars custom boot animation or myself are in any way shape or form responsible for it. If you don't like that then don't download it.

Both the splash, and the boot/down animations work great! I was just googling this last night to see I could find it, and here it is. Thanks, great work!
Where is the PG86IMG?
Edit: Nevermind. Installing now.
It's in the attachment, PG86IMG-LCARS21Splash.zip
You need to rename it PG86IMG.zip, put it on the root of your SD card, and boot into the bootloader. Press Vol-Up when prompted if you want to install.
Looks great. Thanks.
More components of this theme are on the way, and maybe even a full skin... stay tuned as I will post all updates here
A full skin would make my day!

Jeremy-
Could you upload the a copy of the default.xml (/system/customize/CID or most HTC)?
I used bootscoot and want to change the xml back to default
TIA
Curious if you plan on doing a Theme for a ROM? That would totally rock.

I plan on doing it... as soon as I get some time... I have a 40hr/wk job and on top of that I'm a US Soccer Referee... so with the soccer season just starting, free time is limited to say the least...
Things should calm down soon though and I can get to work on a full LCARS theme
An idea for wallpaper I'm working on.

No worries I am in the same situation. I'll pull a few things together and post some images. I'd just stepped in the door in doing the android theme process. I tend to be more about aesthetics with colors with some lcars elements to suit my own tastes. I welcome your thoughts. This is from my star trek HD iPhone theme I made.
Seriously I would kill for an lcars home replacement. ...of course this would lead to nerd induced suicide by my wife, but still.

Damn, gives me Model ID incorrect! when flashing it. I got hboot 1.49.1107, please help.

This animation is based off of and looks exactly like this (except it's a bit faster and fits our screens ha):

I did not create this; I just put together the zip. All credit goes to xterminator at AndroidArea51 (I'm not sure if he's a member here or not).
Also he gave me full permission to post this.
ENJOY.
This is totally worth the extra battery drain for bootup. Thank you for this. *flashes immediately*
I lol'd hard when I saw this.. awesome!! Gonna flash in a bit.
Funny. Now I just need one musical accompaniment

Think you could add some three stooges music to this? Great animation lol I love it

Gday folks,
just wanna share this little bit of video of a computer animated version of Andys Cm7 boot sequence I just knocked up,
http://youtu.be/yt2oDULVYas
though it maybe too little too late as Andy has a replacement...
http://android.chemlab.org/debut11.png
I don't like this Cid character, looks like he'll be harder to animate!
so please get behind this reboot of Andy & help keep him alive! coz it you &
the wizards who compile these Roms {Q & E} that decide what boot animations you get
he's up on a CC license so free to all who wanna use, zip it, remix &
share the love....enjoy

All-In-One Guide
By: ilxaot
9-27-13
Introduction -
Okay, so our phone's a tad.. odd. At least, the American variant is. Thanks to T-Maybe and LGay our bootloader is locked, and has baffled plenty of users. Look at our forum views and the people that visit, but don't become members? I understand some of them are lazy and such, but many are driven away by the current "methods" to unlocking the bootloader for full customization. So, I've come here to sort everything into one nice little thread, because I'm bored and I have nothing to do on my Friday night. Unlike much of my generation, I don't leave high school to go to parties and consume kegs until I puke, roll blunts until I fly, or get on speed and run around around naked eating people's eyeballs out. I prefer to sit inside and type guides ^-^ So, without further ado, let's begin, shall we?
BTW: To anybody (Many people) who saw my Unlocked Bootloader Mods thread, this will include much of that, and other sections. Read onn maties.
Table of Contents
-Introduction (You read this.. I hope)
-Table of Contents (I wonder where that would be?)
-Getting Started (This is for the newbzors. Veteran users, read on)
-What's this bootloader thing? (A spiral of condemnation)
-The Fork in the Road (Choices, choices, choices)
-Now, what can I do with root? (Gee, I wonder what.)
-My phone is slow, can I have mods? (Sure!)
-My apps suck, can I have apps? (Of course not.)
-Bye (Read this and I'll feel cared for)
Getting Started
Okay, so, first off, if you're new, welcome to the forums! There's a lot of great guys here. Some are complete.. Well, I won't say that publicly. There are certain characters who I'm not fond of, but most of them are a fantastic group of guys! So, if you ever need help with something, ask one of these guys: @kuma82, @BioDesigner48, @Lelus, @carloswii5. They're awesome ^-^
So, with that being said, here's our current situation. We have a nice mid-high range phone. We CAN root it easily, however, we cannot unlock our bootloader using the standardized "adb reboot oem-unlock" command. Don't panic! It's really no need to get confused. I'll make this as simple as possible, until even the stupid little iSheep can understand a portion(;
So basically, we have root on the majority of our devices. What we do NOT have, is a majority of unlocked bootloaders. It seems quite randomized and pretty thrown-together if you ask me, so I haven't exactly gotten into it. BUT! I have experimented with modifications and tweaks that affect the stock ROM, to make it more intense. So basically, this thread is about everything on this phone. Because I'm bored. That's why.
What's This Bootloader Thing?
Remember how I said I'd make it simple to where iSheep, iDiots, iTards, and iPreps could understand? Well, here we go. Experienced users brace yourselves! Unspecific noob answer inbound! The bootloader, can be thought of, as what "loads" the "boot." I'll leave it at that. Since it's locked, you can't modify the "boot," therefore the system is left largely unchanged. There are a great plenty questions and a great less amount of confident answers, but with luck, and some faith, you can unlock it! Here are some links to some guides if you're interested.
Unspecific, outdated - HERE
Specific, Recent - HERE
Video, Specific - HERE
Best of luck. If you're intimidated, keep reading this post. Honestly, there's still some work left to be done ^-^
The Fork In The Road
Well, now you have a choice. You can either root, install busybox, obtain a "bootstrap" recovery, and flash mods to your build.prop and stuff for dayzzz. Or, you can take the dark, usually antagonizing way out, the unlocking of the bootloader. Best of luck ^-^ Simply remember that if you FUBAR your phone we aren't liable.
Personally, I recommend sticking with root and not unlocking the bootloader. But that's just me. Have I tried to unlock before? Yes, and I didn't succeed (PC hates me...) but I'm happy enough on my modded stock ROM.
Now, What Can I Do With Root?
This is as easy as it gets. HERE
Rooted? That's right! Go get 'em boy! Kidding, that's easy. Now, go to the Play Store and download a "Busybox" app, and install busybox. Then, go to THIS thread and install the L9 Bootstrap Recovery. It's easy as 1,2,3. Download, open, install. ^-^ I'd also recommend finding some "Xposed" framework modules, they're increasing in popularity. Plenty of them can be found on the web and especially these forums. (derp) You're incredibly welcome
Now, here's a brief list of things you can do!
-Theme your phone with XThemes here!
-Get more memory on your phone here!
-Overclock your phone here!
-Kick people from your WiFi here!
-Snoop through people's data over WiFi here!
-Hack your games here!
-Backup your phone here!
-Tether your phone here!
My phone is slow, Can I have mods?
Sure! I'll post a link to the Development and Hacking section of the General XDA forums. This is where developer modify and tweak stock Android files such as the build.prop (incredibly modifiable) and init.d scripts. Go to the Play Store and search "init.d" and find an app that installs it for you. It's quite simple, really. Now, are you ready?!
Go here. You're welcome. Find a mod that suits you, download it to your SD card, boot into recovery, and FLASH IT! MUAHAHA.
Now, if you'd like an old thread of mine with mods I found to work well together to improve our specific device, go visit this thread. It got popular at one point ^-^ Then I got tired of updating it with new mods. Lulz.
P.S. My personal favorite is the CrossBreeder mod.
My apps suck, can I have apps?
Sure! When I decide to make this section. It's 11:48 and I'm incredibly tired and craving a nice, tall glass of water. So, when I get bored again, I'll update this section. (Forewarning: There's a good bit of apps ;D) So, yeah. Sorry about this whole "I'm too lazy to finish this guide come back later" thing.
Bye
^^ Yepp. Adios. Tankzz ferr reeding. :3
My name is, my name is, not slim shady, lol
:good: Thanks for helping everyone out, and thanks for you kind words.
lol The only problem is @Kuma won't be able to help anyone, if they send him(or her) a PM.
Just thought I'll let you know
Lol I wonder if that's an old account I made way back when. I kind of remember making a account, but can't really remember.
Oh crap! Kuma82. My bad XD I'll fix it when I update it. On my phone ATM/:
