Now that most of us have s-off and custom recovery, we need some customizations to hold us over until the roms start flooding in.
I saw a Portal 2 boot animation and got the bootanimation.zip from the teaser thread, but flashing it did a whole lot of nothing.

I want that boot animation too
E3D
I'm anxiously awaiting some boot screens tailored for the 3d too. Cant wait
You can use existing boot animations here is how:
Find the one you want and download it
Rename the boot animation to Sprint_bootanimation.zip
Use root explorer to go to /system/customize/resource find Sprint_bootanimation.zip copy it to a safe place
Get back to /system/customize/resource and delete Sprint_bootanimation.zip(in root explorer you have to mount r/w)
Then copy and paste the new Sprint_bootanimation.zip to /system/customize/resource
The stock animation is 540 x 960
I have tried a few and it works fine, but i'll be waiting for some 3d anim.
http://alpharev.nl/bootanimation.zip try this one yet?
I just did works fine, looks like a star wars scene mixed with a blue droid eye. I'm gonna use it for a while.

Anybody have any pics or videos of this before I blindly flash it to satisfy my urge to flash anything!
It's the ending sequence / scene of portal 2.
It didn't install for me. It said 'Updating package' and just went back to the menu. I tried several times.
Tried this, but when I try to mount r/w in root explorer, nothing happens. it still says Mount R/W and doesn't change to R/O
Yay!! Portal 2... Poor Wheatly.

Deleting the bootanimations altogether will give you that sweet throwback android boot animation. Also, you can rename and place the bootanimation.zip in /system/media

For anyone wondering how to replace your bootanimation, just mount your system partition either with Clockwork Recovery or root explorer and push a bootanimation.zip to /system/customize/resource/TMUS_bootanimation.zip
Here are a couple you can use:
My Evo 4g Bootanimation Thread - Sorry some say Evo 4g.
SamJamz BootAnimation Thread
Basically any bootanimation from a phone that is 480x800 should fit just fine.

Do you push the file while in recovery mode? Kinda confused about that part.
Edit: Got it, yep, you have to be in recovery to accomplish this.
Can this be done on non rooted phones? I know it was done on the nexus

Our phones are a little bit different... our bootanimation is located at system/customize/resource and renamed bootanimation.zip to TMUS_bootanimation.zip I did all this thru root explorer no adb required!
just incase, I also copied the original file I was replacing to my sdcard (if ever I wanted to go back)
Hope this helps
Here's one of my favs, R2d2 boot animation. It's already named correctly, just use root explorer, and make sure the permission is right. Ahh, can't upload zip from the app, I will when I get to my cpu
Thanks for this!
I now have a sweet Android (Cyanogen theme - in prep for CM release ) boot animation in place of the lame stock "my" scribble.
Now all I'd like to do for boot is change the stock splash screen. I've found one to use, but the instructions for applying are for the Evo and not sure I want to risk jacking something up if it's not right. It states to use fastboot to flash the splash screen onto the phone, replacing the stock. To those who know - does that sound right? Where is the stock splash located so I can back it up to my sdcard first?
Any pointers appreciated!
it looks like it u have to be permarooted for the changes to stick :-\

I am also in root explorer and went thru the needed folders till I got to bootanimation folder. How do you paste the renamed animation into that folder? (don't want to screw it up) copy from my sd card and paste it into the folder? Do i paste it into the folder and then tap on (mount rw)? Or do I tap on (mount rw) then hit paste.

Instructions
Copy/download the animation's zip to your SD card
Open Root Explorer
Rename the file to TMUS_bootanimation.zip (Only for stock/iced glacier. Name may change for other roms.
CM 6 it should be bootanimation.zip)
Copy the animation to /system/customize/resources (don't forget to mount the resources folder as r/w before copying)
Done!
Instructions CM 7:
Copy/download the animation's zip to your SD card
Open Root Explorer
Copy the animation from your SD card to /system/media/ (don't forget to mount the media folder as r/w before copying)
Done!
Also you can use adb push as well if you place the "bootanimation" in the sdk tools folder....
command is here: adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
test animation by opening a command window and typing
adb shell
bootanimation

HOT! will definitely flash this if it is compatible..
Do you have the link to the bootanimation.zip for this. Splash is the static screen before the animation
Edit: nevermind I found it. Yes it runs on our phones, however the image is kinda small (uses about 1/3 of the screen right in the middle) and would need to be resized to look right.
Great post a link if we get this set up. Anyone care to pm me the process of changing the bootscreen?

If youre using root explorer than you will need to make the directory youre pasting to read/write. there is a button on the top of root explorer that toggle r/w and r/o. once in r/w you can paste and change permissions.

It may be because of that 3rd party app, not sure how it works and it may conflict with these. If you haven't uninstalled that app I would do so then try this again.

The link appears to be broken, does anyone else have the .zip?
Edit: works, awesome thx
this is by far my favorite boot animation, thanks so much for this
i have two questions though, one a lot of times when booting up the animation can lag slightly, is there any tweaks i can do to improve the performance or is this generally how it goes for everyone?
my other question is more of a request actually, I would like the version that you had mentioned that did not have the spinning 3d letters, is that still available somewhere? i didn't see a link
I assume it's because it's loading stuff in the background.
Edit: I just installed it, and yeah, it is noticeable. You can clearly tell where the AT&T Logo is supposed to display because it gets real smooth.
But if you look at the original loader, its noticeable that its also laggy. It's just less because there isn't much to look at. It's like if the Windows 7 boot animation lagged, you can't really notice since there is almost no noticeable difference between frames.
OMG I LOEV YOU NOTACH!! you've answered my prayers! now to dl and try this out
edit: wow looks beautiful man good job!!! still a bit laggy initially i wonder if there are some tweaks i can do
edit2: second and third boots were much faster, but still a bit choppy
I found this over in the Sensation forums, and it works well/ looks good on our phone. I haven't tried the green one.

Maybe try downloading the bootanimation again? Sounds like you're doing everything else right...... I have seen that some roms have the bootanimation in /data/local.

I got time to loose, Ill try the green android one and report back once done...
Hmmm, Installed without issues, But made no change on my evo. Still has the ViperRom boot anim.
Yeah, I flashed the blue one through recovery with no problem, but no changes were made.
I do like the animation and hope to get it on my phone.
You have to mount the system as R/W to make changes. Also, not all roms have the bootanimation in the same place and/ or named the same thing (i.e. a Sensation bootanimation flashed through recovery isn't going to replace one named Sprint_bootanimation.zip).
Alright,
So after I remount, I can pull the original zip from /system/customize/resource
The new animation is on the sdcard. What's the proper syntax to push?
adb push / sdcard/Sprint_bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource?
I got it, nevermind...
I just switched out the files from my PC once I pulled the original file.
It works now.

The way I did it was (NOTE:Only applies to ROM's based off CM7.1 as far as I know) place the bootanimation.zip file onto SD Card. Download a Root File Explorer like Root Browser from Google Play. Navigate to the file on the SD Card and copy it. Now navigate to /system/media and backup(if you want) the existing bootanimation.zip or you can go straight ahead and just delete it. Now paste the bootanimation.zip you copied from the SD Card and you should be all good to go
When I'm able to(because I'm still new here) I hope to write up a proper guide on how to do this

On rooted S-ON legends you can do it only in recovery mode with adb and r4-legend-recovery tools.
boot into recovery mode, after launching recovery-windows.bat (if you use windows of course) from r4-legend mount /system then push the bootanimation.zip into /system/media
I'm trying to apply this animation but I can't remove/copy for back up the old one.
I have root browser and superuser gives it root rights but I cant modify permission to the file or move it.
Any suggestion?
