[Boot Animation] Android Bios Boot Animation [update 1/13/2011] - Streak 5 Themes and Apps

Thanks to frysee for creating the original. See his thread here with versions for other devices as well.
This is a Boot animation, purely COSMETIC! Nothing on the display pertains to what is acuatlly going on under the hood while your device s booting, just something for you to look at and show off to friends

3 Options to install.
First step: Simply rename "Streak_Bios_bootanimation.zip" to "bootanimation.zip"
1. ADB
Navigate to the folder containing "bootanimation.zip" in terminal/command prompt.
Type the following
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
Then to test, set your device so display is in landscape (will not display properly if you have it on portrait and test it but will display fine either way on boot)
Code:
adb shell bootanimation
2. Root Explorer
Copy "bootanimation.zip" to your SD card
On your Streak open up Root Explorer (or any other app that allows you to copy paste to the internal memory)
Copy "bootanimation.zip" and paste it to /Data/Local
3. Terminal Emulator
thanks nickshertzer, his directions are for drop box but can easily be manipulated for simply copying the bootanimation.zip to your SDcard

Bump! This is awesome! Thanks for sharing.
BTW, if you don't have / want to get out that sync cable for ADB, use dropbox & Terminal Emulator. Make sure you download the .zip using dropbox longpress first before running following command (requires Busybox / can't remember if it is installed default on Steve's ROM)
Code:
su
cp /sdcard/dropbox/bootanimation.zip /data/local/
reboot

Enjoy
---UPDATE Jan. 6, 2011---
Slowed down to 10 FPS and edited the 2nd part which loops until device boots
---UPDATE Jan. 13, 2011---
Changed 2010 to 2011
TRACKBALL replaced with VOLUME UP

Nice work!! Looks very cool! Have to try this out!

Cool tip. Will add to the first post when I get to my pc.
Also for those of you that put this on their steaks, how many times does it say "initializing ...... /" before it actually boots?
I counted 20 till it did the weak vibrate and 2 more times till it showed the lock screen.
nvm, updated it so it now has a slower FPS. Also see my post 2 down from this one.

I counted 11 flashes of "initializing ......... \" during two separate reboots. So I did a battery pull and left it out for 30 seconds and popped it back in and boot. That time I counted... 11 again. White bb US streak running StreakDroid 1.4.6 with StreakMod Recovery.

Why'd you pull the battery? did it stop spinning?
BTW this is just an animation, it has nothing to do with the actuall boot process.
It just loops the second part until the device actually boots.
You should only pull the battery if it stops moving, then you know the device is frozen.
Also since i slowed down the FPS and edited the 2nd part, "Initializing ....." will now stay there and only the "-\|/-\|/" will loop on top of each other.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. Sometimes, a soft reboot is a bit quicker than a cold boot. I simply pulled the battery to test cold boot times.
If you really want to watch it spin and spin and spin on "initializing", go into recovery and wipe Dalvik cache!

Very nice work
Used to have this back in the day on my TP2

All these great boot animations are making me wish I there was an app that would allow me to randamly switch with one runs at boot

I could but its a pita, over 75 different images have to be edited..
I'll do it sometime later this week.

You should change the final image from a text-based droid to an actual image. Will look far nicer.

The thing about a loading bar is how these boot animations are made and ran.
It has 2 folders (well you can make as many as you want) and it basically runs through all the image files in each folder, one after the other, making it animate.
This boot animation has 2 folders. It goes through the images in the first folder once, then the second folder on an infinite loop (till the system boots), hence the rotating astrix after "initializing ....." .
So a loading bar wouldn't work that well.. it would go full, then empty to full again. But what i could do is make a "scrolling" load bar, kind of like the windows xp loading bar.

NiiicE!!!! thank you!
