As usual, I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone.
Requirements:
Rooted myTouch 4G
Android 2.2/2.3
Fingers
Brain
Root Explorer (or similar)
I had a request for a BIOS style boot animation in my splash screen thread. So here is what came up with. I used two different style animations as my base. The first came from frysee, whose N1 BIOS this was modified from. The other came from jeckyll. I used the same style as his animation for the HD2. Both have minor differences from the originals and of course they have the specs from our phones.* These are also very generalized so they can be used with any 2.2 ROM. Enjoy!
Instructions Android 2.2:
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!
Instructions for copying with Android Commander by neidlinger (see original post here / pictures are in original post)
neidlinger said:
Five easy steps using "Android Commander" Source for Android Commander
Pre-reqs
1: phone
2: drivers to connect your phone to your computer
3: Android Commander
4: brains and the ability to follow directions
1: open Android Commander and make sure you have Root Access, Bottom left corner.
2: Navigate to the target folder, you can use the address bar below the window to get there quickly. IE Gingerbread you'd type in "/system/media/"and it will take you directly to that folder.
3: delete the bootanimation
4: Push the bootanimation to that folder
5: use adb shell to check for animation.
my pictures below are for Gingerbread.
if you screw up your phone, it's your fault.

You can test your animation by opening a command window and typing
adb shell
bootanimation
exit with Ctrl+C
(This can also be done through the terminal emulator, though I'm not sure how to exit. I tried it and had to use adb to reboot. So I don't recommend doing it this way! )
Also, with the second animation, there was a request for a splash screen that said loading. That is included here as well. Instructions for
flashing can be found in my thread for custom splash screens.
There is also a new splash screen that matches the CM 7 animation. Instructions to flash are the same.
Thanks to jayizzbakk for being my guinea pig for the Android 2.2 animations!
And thanks to macheteZen for all his input and testing for the CM 7 animation!
Downloads are available in the next post.
*If there are any mistakes on the specs of the phone, please let me know!!! I will gladly modify these that way they are perfect!
Here are the downloads.
The boot animation for CM 7 is named bootanimation.zip
CM7BIOSLoad.img is a splash screen for the CM7 animation.
All others are for Android 2.2
wow thats awesome thank you!
i'm interested to so know how to plug these into a AOSP ROM.
You using CM7?

Edit: It looks like you should just have to name it bootanimation.zip. Then copy/push it to /system/media. If this doesn't work let me know and I'll see what I can come up with.

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

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

dialog_enter.xml
dialog_exit.xml
Theses will control how the keyboard comes into the screen

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

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!

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.

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.

For MIUI Roms just another method...
Animation:
Download the boot animation file and rename it bootanimation.zip and place it into the system/media folder. Go to theme manager and under the "boot animation" tab select "default." No need to change permissions.
Sound:
To hear the boot sound you have to convert the file to ogg format then place it into the system/media/audio/ringtones folder. Go to theme manager and choose the file under the "boot audio" tab. You can name it anything you want. No need to change permissions. Ogg converter here.
I went ahead and uploaded the ogg file here for you guys.
@vqt This method worked for me...can you post a tutorial for ogg format, plz and thankyou
cool animation. still a little choppy and the pic is a little distorted but good start so far. hope you can get it perfect

i don't know anything about making a boot animation but does it have to do with the frames/second. Usually i unzip a boot animation and look at the png's, it is like a flip cartoon book so i don't know if you need more frames in there to make it more smooth.
Yup its like a flipbook and the more frames taken the bigger the zip...I've been trying to solve this issue. I use powerarchiver to make the zips....but it really doesn't compress them much I think this animation alone was 235 still frames here's the tutorial I used incase anyone wants to learn http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1096068

Hello Y'all!
I've created a bios-like boot animation for our wildfire:
The idea came from frysee (original thread here), but I've build all the files myself.
There are two way's to put it on your phone:
With the use of ADB:
1. place the attached bootanimation.zip in the tools folder of adb
2. open the command prompt and cd to the tools folder
3. type "adb shell" and press enter
4. type "mv <path-to-bootanimation>/bootanimation.zip <path-to-bootanimation>/bootanimation.old" and press enter
for example: mv system/media/bootanimation.zip system/media/bootanimation.old
-> now you have a backup of your original boot animation
5. exit
6. type "adb push bootanimation <path-to-bootanimation>" and press enter
for example: adb push bootanimation system/media
7. type "adb shell bootanimation" and unlock your screen. You should see the new bootanimation. Press ctrl+c to stop.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
New to adb -> link!
You can also replace your bootanimation by using a root explorer:
frysee said:
store on root of SD card
open root explorer make sure to make R/W
go to SDCard and copy file
navigate to bootanimation path (*)
rename bootanimation.zip to something else (bootanimation1.zip)
paste file and rename bios_bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip, if necessary
exit root explorer
reboot phone
Profit = Enjoy Bios boot animation!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What is the right path to you bootanimation?
frysee said:
The right path for your bootanimation differs between devices and even ROMs, so it is hard to list the right one for every setup.
However, you should be able to track down the right one by looking for an existing bootanimation.zip using Root Explorer or ADB.
Most likely it will be one of the following:
/system/media (try this first)
/system/customize (some Evo ROMS seem to use this one)
/data/local (should work an nearly all ROMs, as long as there is no bootanimation on /system)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I can only tell that on cyanogenmod 7, the boot animation is indeed stored in system/media.
When you are on a stock rooted Froyo ROM, you can folow the explanation of laraz (thank you for this, laraz!):
laraz said:
store on root of SD card
open root explorer make sure to make R/W
go to SDCard and copy file hold down on file you wont and choese copy
navigate to bootanimation path (#)froyo system>customize>rescource- paste over exsting bootanimation.zip done
rename bootanimation.zip to something else (bios_bootanimation.zip)
exit root explorer
reboot phone
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The speed of the animation is adapted to my phone: normaly I can only see it untill "activation root access SUCCEEDED", then I can enter my pin.
To adapt the speed of the animation to your phone/ROM, you can change the frames per second:
1. extract bootanimation.zip in the attachment
2. open desc.txt in notepath or similar program.
3. you see the folowing
Code:
240 320 4p 1 0 androidp 0 0 part1
the third number (in this case "4") is the frames per second.
4. adapt ONLY the third number to the desired amount of frames and save the file.
5. put android, part1 and desc.txt again in a zip-file. Make sure that YOU DO NOT USE ANY COMPRESION or it will not work!!!! (in WinRAR: use "compresion method: store")!!
6. Now you can try your new bootanimation!

Sent from my CM7 HTC Wildfire using XDA App
So I wanted an appropriately shiny boot animation for my newly Fresh-rommed Evo, and I found this page:
http://droidmodderx.com/galaxynexus/how-to-install-100s-of-bootanimations-for-your-galaxy-nexus (Full of previews, will bog your computer down!)
That phone has the same screen resolution, 720 x 1280, so most of these seem to work for me. I didn't bother with flashing them from recovery, as the bootanimation.zip file can be easily extracted and placed in /system/media using Root Explorer. Your mileage may vary. I am using Spyro at the moment, nice ICS-ish colors.
SOME of them did not work, or rather they worked, with intermittent flashes of a white screen..I am not sure but suspect it's something to do with frame rate? Anyone?
Updates.................
Directories: Your individual rom maker may have put the animation package in one of several locations. These include:
/system/media
/system/customize/resource
/data/local
I have seen still other locations used on my old EVO 4G (and new roms are coming out all the time), so if you just cannot find anything, try doing a search for 'animation.zip' from the root level, with your file browser.
Filenames: Your rom maker may have used one of several slightly different name variants for the bootanimation.zip package; it really depends on what they started out with as a base. Sense-based roms, for example, will tend to change things up. You might have an 'HTC_bootup_one.zip' instead of a 'bootanimation.zip'. You can't go wrong by naming your new package the exact same thing, and putting it in the same folder. (BUT you also have the option of deleting all oddly named animation packages you find in odd locations on your phone, and just using the standard 'bootanimation.zip' and putting it in /system/media. This is the Android standard location, and it will almost certainly look there if it can't find it elsewhere. Note that if you do this and fail to find and delete the other package, it will still use the other instead.)
Permissions: You shouldn't need to change permissions on the package file, at least that's never been an issue for me. If you are having problems there, I'd suggest trying the standard 644 setting one usually finds in the system folder, or RW-R--R--. (As long as the file is Readable by the owner, I would think that it would work.)
I can't delete or change these files! You may be using ES File Explorer, which is not the easiest app to drive. It requires root permission being set in its settings, and if you don't do that, hilarity can ensue. (I again recommend Root Explorer by Speed Software, which is not free but gives the most straightforward file browsing experience you can imagine, a big plus if you're new to rummaging around in your phone's innards!)
You absolutely cannot play with this stuff without root, so don't even try, okay? And when you want to change anything in a root-level folder, you will need to remember to set that folder RW (read/write), and then remember to set it back to RO (read only) when you are done, yes? You smart folks already know these things, I just want to make this post as complete as possible.
But I need MORE animations! I found the link above by googling 'bootanimation.zip 720x1280' so have at it!
If you've any more questions, please ask..
Worked great for me, thanks!
-Mike
What about activating sound?
Purest said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well, if you want sound and the animation doesn't include it, it is possible to add any fairly short sound in .ogg format to the same /system/media folder, and call it with an edit to the bootanimation.zip file. (You'll need to call it from the desc.txt file inside the zip.)
Say you have a sound picked out and converted, and it's called evoboot.ogg. Your desc.txt will need to include the line:
s evoboot.ogg
There are some tutorials on building these animations from scratch, if you look around on here, like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420991

I use the same rom. The file is in system/customize/resource. You have to rename the bootanimation to hTC_bootup_one.zip. Also don't forget to make the permissions match.
I am very much looking forward to trying some of these out tomorrow when I get off of work!! I've read through the two guides on making your own and implementing your own sound files. These sound very exciting as well, but I feel they are over my head still. I am going to pace myself a bit and wait to try them.. but soon I will try.. But for now there are just so many to choose from.

Could you expand on how to make permissions match. I found two files in that directory that has me confused. One is hTC_bootup.zip and one is SPC_bootanimation.zip. Which do I change? Also it seems that I can't delete the spc one to put the zip I downloaded in its place. Am I making this harder than it really is?

Got what? Can anyone elaborate?
I'm wanting to know this too, because I tried some other boot animations from an HTC ONE series phone, and it didn't work.
These were mentioned here on the boards earlier, and I tried to use a flashable "beats" BA, but it did not work. Also tried the "suckerpunch" BA manually by going into system/customize/resource, and THAT did not work either.
A guide would be greatly appreciated, and a sticky should be made for boot animations, as well as splash screens.

Where did those animations come from that you mentioned? Cause i doubt the names are correct for this phone

Okay. First go download the boot animation that you like from:
http://tinyurl.com/co9ulfv Not sure if you can post the full links here but at least this one is clickable?
(One of the bootanimations I clicked on was bogus so use your brain. The next three brought me right to the file download without visiting a website first.) Then go into ES file explorer and go into settings and make it writable by placing a check next to Root Explorer and Mount File System. Next I found the downloaded file and clicked into it and clicked Data then local and found the actual boot animation zip and copied it to the root of the SD card so it would be easy to find. After that I renamed that file to SPC_bootanimation.zip. Now you go into system/customize/resource and delete the file labeled as SPC_bootanimation.(I saved a copy first and this must be done before you copy the file you're pasting in there. Don't know why but once I copied I couldn't delete the stock _bootanimation.zip file). Then I went back to the sd card and copied the renamed SPC_bootanimation file and pasted it in the resource directory where i deleted the original. Bingo, reboot and you will see your new animation. I did all of these steps in ES File Explorer.
Your folder may be in system/media depending on which rom you're using. I am on stock/ ultra smooth lscape Rosie by flex360.
P.S. the way I was messing up first was I was trying to rename the file I downloaded to spc_bootanimation not the bootanimation.zip file located inside of that original download in the Data/Local directory.
Also, I'm not an English major by any means, so if something is spelled incorrectly or the proper grammar wasn't used, sorry. I'm not looking for a lesson just looking to help out. heck if it's bad enough, just click on the donation tab next to my name and maybe I can afford some classes.
I'm using the bluplazmall boot animation. Looks really good.

I updated my post, does it answer your questions? If not, or if you would like to correct a point, let me know.

they are correct when your running a one x rom port. thats what hes referring to joelz rom.
thanks, I can't stand the stock animation and haven't found much so far for the EVO LTE. Lots of stuff out there for the G Nex!!
what you looking for?
Ok maybe I'm just retarded, or just a little rusty on my adb. Tried this in RootExplorer, didn't work. Tried it using adb, didn't work either. It's saying /system is mounted as Read-Only. I tried an app called SUFBS and made sure that it was mounted as Read-Write, and it failed. In adb, I'm navigating to the correct folder, "adb devices" to make sure it's showing up, "adb remount" which is succeeding, then "adb push SPC_bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource/" and it's giving the Read-only error. I'm running ViperRom 1.2.1 and am S-Off. Anybody got any pointers? Oh and btw, I did extract the bootanimation.zip from the .zip file I downloaded from the website in the op.
I am curious what root explorer is saying when in that directory..does the button at the top allow you to set it RW?
It's not showing an icon for rw or anything. May be a different, crappier version? It's the one that came with ViperROM. That SUFBS app is very similar, and I chose rw in it, found the bootanimation.zip file on my sd card, moved it to /system/customize/resource, and it showed it moving the file, but it never showed up.
Edit: It's RootBrowser. Nonetheless, SUFBS is essentially the same thing. I'm curious though why I can mount as read-write in that app, yet adb says its read-only.
