I made the stock bootanimation display in portrait mode and made the Dell Logo glow at end until the phone finishes loading... I'm a fan of the stock Dell animation so that is my first rendition of it. If anyone has any they can share, please do..
Some of you may have done this already but I thought I'd share for those who may be interested
If you're not sure how to change your Bootanimation...
1) Root your Streak
2) Download Rootexplorer
3) Go to System\Media and click on 'Mount R/W' on the top.
4) Replace the bootanimation.zip thats in there with the one you like. Not sure if it's necessary but I rename the new zip file to bootanimation.zip. Click 'mount R/O'
DONE
working fine, thanks mate
Nicely done. Thank you.
Now if only we could get the lockscreen to be in portrait mode without need for an app (widget locker is all that seems to work, and only the older version. If you update the app it defaults back to landscape. Sucky) and to get the home screen in portrait without forcing ADW to be system persistant.
It's retarded that both Landscape mode and portrait mode default to landscape mode.

2. Manually Add Animations: should work for most roms
This process will be helpful for those wanting to mix and match animations from the folders. In fact, why don't you create your own mix and post it here so everyone else can appreciate your awesomeness. I'll add new mixes below if they come in.
-Simply get a hold of the anim folder with the animations you want to use and the framework-res.apk from the rom you're interested in modifying (/system/framework/framework-res.apk).
- Open up the framework-res.apk in 7zip (right click on it, and select "open archive").
- Drag the anim folder with the animations (which you can download below) into /res folder in your framework-res.apk. This will replace the files currently in /res/anim.
- Exit out of 7zip.
- You now need to push the modified framework-res.apk onto the phone. You can do this by placing the modified framework-res.apk in the root sdcard folder, and entering the following into terminal emulator on your phone or using ADB when the sdcard is mounted:
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
reboot
If you're using terminal emulator, your phone will probably reboot before you finish re-mounting and/or typing reboot.
If you want to install the framework-res.apk that you just made in CWM recovery you can put it in this .zip make sure to put your framework-res.apk in the framework folder for this to work Your anim .zip
3.ninjamorph insatll find it in the market.
- create a new project of your framwork-res.apk.
- on your sdcard put the anim you want in this folder but first extract the folder out of the .zip first. (sdcard\androidthemes\workspace\framework-resapk\res\anim)
- make a copy incase you dont like the altered animations!!!
-replace the folder attached with the one in this zip
-go back to ninjamorph and finish project your phone should automatically reboot and there ya go animations are changed.
These will work with any rom and any phone enjoy
If you have any prob please post witch animation you used, that did not work so i can look into it.
BlurAnimations.zip
Bounce.zip
Custom my set up.zip
My set up 2.zip
Drop in.zip
Flip1.zip
Flip2.zip
Flyin and flip.zip

If you would like more custom one with animations together let me know what you would like
Theses are the .xml files in the anim folderi will tell you witch ones i know and what they do if you know what others do that i did not mention please let me know and i will update this thank you.
This is the anim of the opening of a new page
activity_close_enter.xml
activity_close_exit.xml
Theses are if you go back on your page
activity_open_enter.xml
activity_open_exit.xml
Dialog box is the box that comes up if you were for example adding a widget to the home screen
dialog_enter.xml
dialog_exit.xml
Theses will control how the keyboard comes into the screen
input_method_fancy_enter.xml
input_method_fancy_exit.xml
This is the anim when you unlock your screen
lock_screen_exit.xml
The options panel is the panel if your on any screen and you click on your settings button for example if your on the home screen and you click on your settings button you will see a options panel that askes if you want to add a widget change wall paper etc...
options_panel_enter.xml
options_panel_exit.xml
I think this one speaks for its self
search_bar_enter.xml
search_bar_exit.xml
please post others
I am having problems getting any of them to install it just sits there and says applying.
Mine also just says applying. On Rubik's dl30

Go to: Settings-> Applications-> Development-> check USB debugging. It should work now.
Also check out Anim Mod on the market for easy animation switching
May I ask what these do
Updated try out fly in 2 i really like it im working on bounce next hope you like it if your having trouble installing these im very sorry but i test them before i release them so i hope you can get them to work.

The custom one. I had just installed .5 though so I just did a reinstall and I was fine. Maybe I'll try again later tonight. I really liked the animations in the doctored version of SC you posted originally. Maybe I'll just pull the /anim file and replace the one in my framework-res though. I didn't mean to sound ungrateful. I really appreciate the work you put into these. I just wanted to post a warning in case there is something specific to the AOSP Froyo that would keep this from working.
Edit: Just tried again in MM and it worked fine. I must have messed it up the first time. Thanks again for the awesome animations!

no prob and thank you
I am using your "Custom" theme, and it is working great, thanks.
I did also try "Flip 1" and even after reboot it seemed to do absolutely nothing but change my background, that might have been MM's fault who knows.
Running the custom on Rubik's dl30 and its awesome. Thanks to whoever told me to enable USB debugging haha. Had these on my DX and was really wanting them back. Thanks man.

Have you guys seen the Gingerbread Screen Off Animation that looks like a TV turning off, with the line and a small flash (not sure exactly how to describe it). And when i say "screen-off" i mean by tapping your power button, not holding it in to power down, but to turn-off the screen and lock the phone.
It might be kinda stupid to some, but i think it's pretty neat and unique...
possible?

Thanks. I have been playing around mixing/matching the animations with some decent results. Is there a program that can convert just the xml files from to and from the binary and text formats?
I am using apk manager to compile/decompile the entire .apk file but that is kind of annoying.

updated 2nd post
Intro
Ok so I have seems lot of people complaining that some custom boot animations have annoying flickering white lines and spots on the very outside edges. This is easily fixed. This usually only happens with boot animations that are supposed to be the same size as your screen which they technically are but still have a very slight size difference, usually smaller.
The app
The easiest way to fix this is by using the absolute system app which can be downloaded from the android market. You can either download the boot animations from the apps db or you can import them from your sd card. You must be rooted in order to install custom boot animations from absolute system, rom toolbox, root tools or any other app that offers custom boot animations.
Boot animations
In absolute system go to boot animations. From there you can download a boot animation you like or you can import one by pressing the menu button on your phone and selecting boot animation editor and then pressing your phones menu again and select import from sd card. From there you can import any bootanimation.zip that is placed in the root of your sd card.
Editing/Repairing
1. Once you have decided which boot animation you want to install you need to go back into the boot animation editor in absolute system and select the boot animation of your choice.
2. You should now see a screen with all of the png files or pictures that make up the boot animation.
3. Once you see that you must press your phones menu button again and select "edit desc.txt." This will bring up a screen with absolute systems text editor window with the boot animations desc.txt information. It will show the resolution of your device which for the X2 should be 540x960.
4. Go to the boot animations resolution/size line and select it ( it should be the first or second line in the desc.txt file or if its a stock boot animation from your or another device there will be a list describing the contents of the file and how they work. In that case scroll down until you see a number that appears the same as your devices screen size (540x960 or other numbers) and select it.
5. This should bring up a window with the numbers of the size that can be edited. You can now change the size or resolution of the boot animation to fit your screen. In order to assure that there are none of those annoying white lines and spots and that there is no color difference between the darkness of the black background in the bootanimation ( if it has it) and the default darkness of your phone OR in the event that the boot animation you're trying to install has a differently colored background and you don't want any black around the bootanimation here is what you do:
6. change the size of the boot animation NOT to the exact size of your phones screen but to 2 over it (I.e. not 540x960 but to 542x962). This will ensure no white lines/spots, differences in darkness or black surrounding a differently colored boot animation WITHOUT making the boot animation too big to the point that it cuts off parts of the animation.
If any body has any questions about how to change other aspects of a boot animation such as sounds, speed, looping and adding parts just request it in a comment to this thread and I will answer as best I can.

Thanks mate, It helped, after 5 years ; )
I currently use a HTC HD Mini (Photon) running the SCREAM ROM by Ling Gan. It has a few bugs for most of which there is either a workaround or fix but there is the one problem which has remained unsolved: the default wallpaper on everything BUT the home and lockscreens cannot be changed. It is of a tree in a meadow under a blue sky and when rotated to landscape changes to some smiling chinese lady in the "settings" submenu. Doesn't hamper use much but it is quite annoying.
I have tried a number of solutions some of which resulted in my having to reflash and others did nothing. I post this here because I think it is a CM7 issue. The ROM developers have so far been unable to post a solution within the thread and I am aware that a fix for similar problems on CM9 ROMs exists using ADB to edit framework-res.apk. I felt it was time the problem was tackled by the wider XDA fam. Used google translate to look on the chinese site where the ROM is native to (mobile-kon) but found no help as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
i think ur problem lays in the framework-res.apk it contains the look of the rom and the transition effects
you can mod apk with the apkmanager tool for ur computer in the frameworkresapk you should find the images u want to change replace them witch a black picture or something like that
if never done this befoure exept from changing some transition effects and i had a couple of errors among this
the easier way seems to search for the rom on another page cus the images ure stating are not standart in the cm7
SOLVED!

Many thanks!
I started off looking through the "res" folder in framwork-res.apk using Root Explorer to identify the images for the wallpaper. They were
Res/drawable-land-mdpi/screen-background-dark-transparent.png
And
Res/drawable-mdpi/screen-background-dark-transparent.png
I then created a copy of framework-res.apk on my SD card and copied it onto my pc. I created new wallpapers to replace the ones I just mentioned, one in portrait, the other in landscape. They were 320x480 and 480x320 respectively. Using 7zip on the pc, I placed them in the corresponding folders (/drawable-mdpi for protrait and /drawable-land-mdpi for landscape).
I copied framework-res.apk back to my sdcard and then fired up terminal emulator to run the following commands
su
sys -rw
busybox cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework
sys -rw
You might get error messages from running apps after this but ignore them and reboot. The idea is to replace the framework-res.apk in system/framework with the one you just edited.
After the reboot, you should have your newly created wallpaper showing up in settings in both landscape and portrait modes.
Please hit "thanks" for both jiffer1991 and I if this was helpful. Big ups to jiffer1991for pushing me in the right direction.
Hi,
i did something wrong.
So my Phone didn´t run.
He show me the Bootsceen and the Animation.
But the he will run again and again and again.
Can i handle my Phone via USB so i can restore the framework.resp.apk on my System? Or i have to reinstall Android again?
I have no backup and i don´t want to erase my system settings.
Thanks
Felix

hm u got stuck in a bootloop thats what i meant when i mentioned errors =)
you could make a zip with the old framework res apk or reflash the cm rom
if u dont whipe data/cash ure setting will be safed
read some tutorials how to mod the framework res apk
I have an .zip file on the sd card.
Can i copy it to the Android system somehow?
Felix
P.S. can i zip the framework and remove the ".zip" to ".apk"?
It is most likely that the zip file you have is the ROM image from which you flashed in the first place. Changing the extension to apk is NOT what you want to do. I suggest you create a backup in CWM of you present configuration and after reflashing, you can then do a partial restore of your user data. But its like Jiffer1991 said, read up on CWM, theres an exhaustive guide on xda somewhere.
Thanks,
i installed my modified cm rom without wipe caches data or something.
And now i have my old datas back, with the new Background.
Well, many cool ROMs doesn't have stock gallery, which removed the functionality of changing lock screen wallpaper.
But not anymore
Procedure
Step 1 - Getting your picture ready.
Select any image you like.
Crop it, preferably to resolution 240x320, if not, no problem, the center part will be shown.
Save it, and name it 'lockscreen_wallpaper.jpg'.
Step 2 - abracadabra
Make sure you have root access, data partition mounted as rw.
Go to data/data/com.sec.android.gallery3d/
If you don't find the folder, create one.
Paste the pic (lockscreen_wallpaper.jpg)
I don't think permission will bother you much.
Voila, no need of reboot. Instant Reaction.
P.S- I have tried this on stock, it works, but not tries on modded stock, so need testers.
If you gonna test, make sure you don't have Samsung's Gallery app.
Hello Everyone,
Today i am going to show you how to change that boring boot animation by this cool one. So lets begin:
STEPS :
For Cyanogenmod users -
1) Download the file from below.
2) Install as normal apk.
3) Go to Settings>Themes>Boot animations.
4) Browse the boot animation and apply.
5) Done, Show this awesome boot animation to your friends.
For normal users - (Root needed)
1) Download the file from below.
2) Download any root explorer of your choice.( I prefer Es file explorer)
3) Navigate to the downloaded apk and long press it.
4) Under the 3 dot menu select extract to and extract the apk.
5) Now you will find the bootanimatio.zip file in assets folder.
6) Now go to the root folder and navigate through system>media. Once there locate your current bootanimation.zip file
7) Long-press your current bootanimation.zip file, and click copy, as we'll want to have a backup just in case. Paste it wherever convenient for you OR simply change the extension from .zip to .bak
8) Once your new bootanimation.zip has been selected for moving, navigate back to system > media and paste it there. You'll have to overwrite your current animation zip, but that's fine since you have a backup in case something goes wrong. Go for it.
9) For many of you, the previous step will be the last step. But, if for any reason you're still stuck with you old animation, you can try aligning the permissions of your newly-copied bootanimation.zip file with the permissions in the system/media folder. In our case, those were rw-r-r. Just long-press your new bootanimation.zip file and click Permissions and change them until they fit. The logic behind these abbreviations goes like this: Owner - Group - Other. Read for 'r', Write for 'w', and Execute for 'x'. Save the changes and restart...
10) Done, Show this awesome boot animation to your friends.

Note :
You are choosing to make these modifications, and dont point the finger at me for messing up your device.
No reply or review ?
I'm using kernel which is not showing bootanimation. So i can't test it.
thank you i will try this.....

Don not have any pictures?
a sample video or picture would be great
Tried on RR5.6.4 on Xiaomi Redmi 1s. During the colored part, top and bottom have little black part, which looks kind of annoying. And I don't know whether its just on my phone, but in the end it looked like the animations broke. Rest of the parts are very good and really cool. Great work
awesome bro
i will try soon ,
thanks
I made a small preview od this animation, it is not full and GIF has very low resolution
