[REQ]boot animation from Android OS 1.0 - Vibrant Themes and Apps

Im looking for the boot animation for OS 1.0. Can anyone help me out?

I think if you remove the bootanimation.zip from your system media file when you boot up you get the basic old school boot animation. Its basically just the word "android" with some metallic looking effects.

That sounds like the 1.5 (or 1.6) boot animation. The 1.0 animation can be seen at around 1:30 of this video:

Ha ha, I would like to have that old animation back
Maybe you can download the Android 1.0 system image for the SDK emulator, though I think Google stopped hosting anything below 1.5. Of course, you could also find an old ROM on XDA for the HTC Dream like JesusFreke's root ROM and take the animation out of there.

Thats the one. I have a guy in the G1 forums that found it for me, but its in .nbh format. Any ideas on how to convert it so it will work for me?

Have you tried renaming it to a .zip and unzipping it? or just trying to open it in winrar/7-zip at all?
Just a guess, but most of the time obscure .*whatever* extensions are just zip files renamed

I'm the guy from the G1 forums
And yeah, I tried to rename the *.nbh to a *.zip. No dice.
I then tried to use Emulator, but anything below Cupcake is non-existant.
So finally I gave up and dropped the G1 back to the RC29 build, had to re-root it. Problem is, I am now searching every folder to find out where this boot animation is. And yes, I have checked the /system/media (only has Audio) and there is nothing in the /data/ folder, so the two common places are out the window.
I have yet to give up, but that's because the girlfriend is baby sitting. I have two more hours to try and find this thing before I call it quits for the evening.
EDIT: Apparently there's an archive of all the old SDK packages. This interests me. So I am going to do an install of the first 1.0 SDK (not the Beta Builds) and try to get the ball rolling.

OK, so you're hosed with your request. Apparently, the boot animation is locked until at least Cupcake. So I can get you the Cupcake boot animation no sweat. But when I flashed my G1 back down to stock 1.0 there is no way to run Super User on it. You have root access, however when running something like Terminal Emulator and type "SU" you'll still get permission denied errors even though you have root access. Lame, I know.
So for giggles, I adb pulled every file from the root of the phone. No dice. There is no animations, period. Even searching every friggin' *.png file, there is nothing there for the boot animation. I can flash a new boot animation to the phone, but all that does is mask the original one, which is hidden somewhere in the *.nbh file. However, either I am not smart enough, or there is no way to do it as of yet, but I cannot get into the *.nbh file, period.
So I figured "OK, I'll try an emulator". That also failed, as the earliest emulator I can find is the emulator for Cupcake. So I then tried to use the emulator to flash a different ROM, which failed because as it reboots it goes back to stock Cupcake. Which is lame (they should really have a save state or something).
The next step I tried was downloading an older version of the Android SDK. Again, nothing available to me until Cupcake. I could have possibly loaded it in Eclipse, but I don't have Eclipse and don't prefer to have Eclipse, and I doubt that it would have made a difference since searching every folder in the SDK packs turned up nothing. I even loaded the SDK packs on my Mac, just in case there was a different set of files. Nothing.
Since I'm still on 1.0 I did try to do an ADB Shell, but any command gives me permissions issues. It's probably because of the root issue with the stock image. I don't really know, I just know I can't do it.
So my final attempt was that I downloaded a *.nbh explorer for the Windows 7 phones, but it doesn't work because of the signing issues.
Ultimately, you're not going to be getting the boot animation from me. I've tried and failed Sorry man. Good luck though!

This is not flashable!
Its just a zip file, so it needs to be put in /system/media folder and then change permissions to look like this:
If anyone wants to make it flashable, feel free.

If only I was skilled enough with photo editing software...

Good to hear.
