NOTE: This boot animation requires that your Dell Streak be rooted. It is specifically set up for the default landscape orientation of the Dell Streak. It is not intended for use with portrait devices, since the special effects were by default in widescreen orientation in the film. However, should the end user desire to use the animation in portrait mode, desc.txt within the zip file will need to be edited.
Remember that anything you do here is at your own risk. Don't come to me if you happen to be that one person in the universe who manages to brick their Streak. You have been warned.
I was inspired to make this after seeing the various Doctor Who animations, especially the 11th, which is available for the Streak. I am a Doctor Who fan, but having the TARDIS floating through the time vortex I found to be a bit bothersome aesthetically. Fortunately, as a fan of science-fiction, I knew where I could find another vortex: Stargate.
I went and created this without bothering to search to see if someone else had come up with the same thing. Unfortunately for me, some guys on the Evo 4G forum came up with one (thread here). However, theirs is different from mine in that they don't include the full wormhole special effect from the film, and incorporate the wormhole special effects from Stargate SG-1. They chose to go with text at the end of the animation, Android of course.
I chose not to go that route. There's no text, just a never-ending wormhole (that the .GIF above does not properly show). Anything else would be a distraction in my opinion.
But...let me know what you guys think.
To install, download the file here. Then, using whichever method you feel most comfortable using, copy the Stargate boot animation to \system\media on the Dell Streak's internal storage. Make sure the permissions are properly set (should be rw-r--r--). Reboot the phone and enjoy.
UPDATE: For some inexplicable reason, updates to the DSC ROM include the default bootanimation.zip, despite there being no updates to that file that would make its inclusion necessary. After being forced three times to replace my boot animation due to the weekly incremental updates to the ROM, I created a zip file that can be flashed through StreakMod Recovery to take care of this annoyance. Two versions of the flashable zip are available. The first installs to /System/Media and will overwrite any existing boot animation. The second installs to /Data/Local. The /Data/Local file has not been tested on my Streak and thus I cannot guarantee it will work. Should the file not work, download the original zip file linked above and copy it to /Data/Local.
Flashable Stargate Boot Animation - /System/Media
Flashable Stargate Boot Animation - /Data/Local (untested)​

loving it! im on simple streak, i put it in data/local

---

stick it in /data/local/ it doesnt need root access or permissions setting.
and is chosen instead of anything in the system/media folder

---

Honestly, I didn't know about using \data\local. I mentioned \system\media because that's where the original bootanimation.zip is located.

---

Beautiful... Thank you!

stick it in /data/local/ and then reboot. It should work for you that way.

You can use the same instructions from the link, and substitute the boot animation that you want. everything else is the same. It may help you better.

This is by far the best boot animation I have ever came across. Thank you so much!

---

Updated the first post to include zip files that can be flashed through StreakMod Recovery. I probably should have done this a lot sooner, but consider this a holiday present.
