The only animation i can find is the XDA dev one. Are there any other aval for the flyer? I have the Wifi only version running Honeycomb.
I'm working on it myself. Is there anything in particular you're looking for? I've got a GITS tachikoma splash and wallpaper, so I'm looking to make a tachikoma animation boot.
When I was on GB, replacing boot animation worked but replacing down animation screwed things up. So I pretty much stopped trying. It may be a different story on HC.

Well i saw this one on another site and tried to modify it to work on the flyer but nogo.
Geet it wont let me post links.... how gay...
Well take this... dubbleUdubbleUdubbleU.youtube.com/watch?v=tMxZQVOYid8
I just want something different.
I can give it a go making it compatible...
Already tracked down the original files, so should be easy enough.

Awesome. If you would mind let me know we u you had to do. I tried messing with the text file and then resizing the actual files with photoshops scripting but it just shows blank for me. I think the issue is that the closest I can get the rez is 614x1024. And we need 600x1024 I believe.

original files came from here: http://www.thriveforums.org/forum/t...ssions/3206-android-apple-boot-animation.html
Modified version is attached (600x1024), working on the Flyer (images upscaled from 480x854 to 600x1027 then cropped to 600x1024)
The blank screen was due to the file names in the archive. The first "frame" has to be named 000.jpg (or .png) and count up from there.
The original archive started with BootAnim032.jpg or something like that.... which the OS didn't like.
U are the man. Thanks!

Here's a quick tutorial for those of you trying to modify or create a bootanimation.zip..
The bootanimation zip usually contains two folders and a desc.txt file. So start by creating 2 folders called part0 and part1.
Then create or find your animation frames/images and name them something like 10001, 10002, 10003 and so on (save as jpeg or png).
Part0 will loop only once, part1 will loop forever.
Now make a new text document (desc.txt) in the same directory as the two folders..
Example of desc.txt:
Code:
600 1024 30
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1
First line - the first 2 numbers are the resolution and the "30" controls the animation speed (FPS)
Second line - the "p 1 0" means the frames in the part0 will only loop/be repeated once (controlled by the "1")
Third line - the "p 0 0" means part1 will loop forever (controlled by the "0")
Make sure to leave an empty line at the bottom (line 4)
Finish by zipping the two folders and txt file up, Important - these files must be STORED in the zip uncompressed or it won't work! (compression level = Store).
if you guys can put screen shot or somthing like that in the post it will be very helpfull
Any animations made for the Color Nook (there are lots of them) should work fine on the Flyer, they have the same screen.
can someone get this boot animation to work on the view? I tried changing the res on the txt file and rotating the images and it just doesn't seem to work or won't recognize it.

Hi,
Can someone tell me why when using ES FILE EXPLORER, everytime I try to copy over a bootanimation.zip file after downloading it from xda, I cannot rename the old file or move the new one, my flyer either tells me 'cannot move bootanimation.zip' or 'failed'... Basically, I'm stuck and feel stupid... Any pointers would be good. (sorry didn't want to start a new thread and post in general - felt it was a little pointless)
I'm using globatron's easy WiFi rom
[EDIT] okay - didn't have superuser permission in es file explorer. Tried to grant the app Superuser permission but failed - seems it's not compatible with my flyer... Any pointers? fastboot?

Ian, Do you have the last setting checked - mount root as writable? If so, you may want to go in to superuser and clear permissions for es and reopen es to regrant root permission.
killerb, I'll tweak that one tomorrow evening.... Too late tonight...

When allowing superuser access for Es file explorer in settings, it asks me if I want grant the permission so I say yes, but then it says the test failed, and doesn't allow the box to be ticked, therefore not allowing the mounting of the system folder... What am I doing wrong?

I suppose the question is what ROM and what version of superuser are you using?

Since tinkering with things is a hobby of mine coupled with an ongoing infatuation with Blender3d I decided I'd spend some time working on a few new boot animations.
Admittedly I only have a basic understanding of the boot animation format but I'm going to render some frames out and see what I can do. Neat stuff is neat.
Here's a few frames from my first test animation..

I've started with a new CM7 boot animation since I use CM7+DalOC+SDcard boot on my own Nook Color.
If anyone has any other ideas or a wishlist drop it in here and I'll see what I can come up with. We are limited by only our imagination.
looks good!
Good job and good luck.
Mmm looks like a green lantern android. Moar plz!
Looks like it's gonna be an awesome boot animation, I've always loved trying out new one, and it looks like this ones gonna be amazing! Awesome work so far, and good luck finishing it off.
I like! Nice start

Hey guys,
First bootanimation is ready to go. This is the full screen .png version. Runs fine on my nook. I tested a smaller res version on my nook and it didn't make much of a difference so I ended up just leaving it full screen.
Quality on the nook is much nicer of course...

part2
Download bootanimation.zip :
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SPBBE750
Instructions for installation:
1) Download and install the free E S File explorer on your nook
2) In the settings menu enable all the root options
3) Connect your nook to your computer USB and transfer the bootanimation to a spot you know where to look from E S File explorer
4) On your Nook use E S File explorer to copy the bootanimation.zip from that drop folder to the /data/local directory. You can delete the other bootanimation.zip that is there if you are replacing something.
5) Done. Reboot. Rejoice.
There may be other ways to accomplish the same thing but this is the method I used for my SDcard install.
Hmm, my bootanimation.zip stays in the /system/media folder... Not sure if mines different for some reason, but I've never heard of putting it in the /data/local directory...
Must be different on an SD card install, I'm running off of eMMC.
Oh, and holy crap, that animation is huge! Can't wait to try it out, but my Nook is out of commission at the moment, got it taken by my parents
I'm going to render out a red and cyan version of this same animation since I already have the models, lighting and effects in place. After that I'll probably switch it up with something different.

My pleasure, it's fun making things like this because it keeps my skills sharp and serves a purpose.
The cyan version is incoming in a day or 2 I just got busy with some other stuff.
I am downloading the red one. My sister and I will love this! Thank you!
OK, now where do I copy this file?
I am running CM7 N107 from SD & don't find any of the folders mentioned. Do I need to be looking at the "Boot" partition? If so, that is only available to me if I put the SD card in my PC. Am I replacing a zip file, or installing this zip via booting into recovery? Please expand on the installation steps.
Thanks,

installation
I didn't install this particular boot animation yet (but Dling ).
The way I accomplished this was to rename original bootanimation.zip to st else (old.bootanimation.zip).
Then copy new animation to the same folder as older one was. Reboot .
I found mine in root-system-media
/system/media
Hope this helps .
P.S. connect NC to PC via cable (or wifi), copy zip file to SD card. Disconnect, open file browser, copy or move zip file to the folder above to replace bootanimation.zip.
Oh one important thing - you need to have rooted NC and have root access - your file browser must have root privileges. I used ES explorer if I rememeber correctly.
Do not unzip or alter the .zip file.

Hi bug,
1) open E S File Explorer
2) set all the root options to enabled and press the home button upper left
it will show a little house when you are in the correct mode
3) scroll till you find the data folder and click on it
4) inside this first data folder will be a Local folder .. click on that to open (not the data folder within the data folder if you have one)
5) insert or copy the new bootanimation.zip over the old one
It's only a few clicks to get this done on a SDcard CM7 install. I'm not sure of the installation of custom boots on the other installs since I haven't used any of those yet.
How bout a cwm flashable zip? Would make the process of installing your boot animations a breeze. Ill try and prep one tomorrow mornning. Unless someone beats me to it. I hope someone does.

Thanks for your response. On my system, the bootanimation.zip is located in system/media.
Problem is when I try to rename the file or paste the new file in the folder I get " Sorry, operation failed."
I get a "failed to mount" when I select "mount File System" under settings.
At launch I saw a message that ES File Explorer had been granted SU Permissions. I am at a loss for what to do now.

I spend a whole lazy sunday designing a custom boot animation.
It's supposed to look like that (two parts):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
[Left: part0 - play once] [Right: part1 - loop]
Device: HTC Legend with CyanogenMod 6.1.0 (Android 2.2.1 Froyo).
I created a file bootanimation.zip (not compressed), following this howto I found on addictivetips.com
My Legend is rooted
I use ROM Manager to reboot into Recovery
I move the files to their destion directories with adb commands.
But when I store it in /data/local or in system/media and reboot my phone, only the first part (part0) is played. Then the animation stops, a black screen is displayed for about ten seconds, then the Enter PIN screen appears. I tried almost everything to make part1 visible:
Deleting and re-installing the animation with different parameters
Changing values in desc.txt (below)
Re-processing the .png files (8bit, 24bit, resizing etc.)
Changing the .png file names
My desc.txt:
320 480 24
p 1 10 part0
p 0 0 part1

Can someone tell me what is wrong with the attached bootanimation_NOTWORKING.zip file?
Have had this problem once too with a bootanimation.
Try renaming the map part0 to android and put everything in one line
For you it should be like this:
320 480 24p 1 0 androidp 0 0 part1

Tanks matn013, but that's not it. Even if put all frames to one folder, the animation stops playing after frame 12 or 13...
I suppose the issue here might be one of the ff:
Booting time too short (device is fully booted before all frames have played)
Defected .png (animation seems to stop at the same frame)
Memory issues (rendering of animation needs too much memory)
...is there a system log that I can check after the booting process?
EDIT: I found a solution to spot errors and save time when testing. You can use this adb command whilst phone is connected:
adb shell bootanimation

The bootanimation will run, and in your terminal you can see some error code. Thanks seb93
Solved!
After comparing mine to the original Cyanogenmod bootanimation, I did some more modifications to the animation:
reduced image sizes to 256x384
named files in consecutive order (even across folders) from fair_00000.png to fair_00026.png without leaving out a single number
named the folders android + part1
Which one did the trick? I don't know, but the attached file actually works.
Thanks for your help.

There needs to be a return line following the sequence presented in the quoted text. It is what I believe solved this issue.

In the "desc.txt" place all the info in it that's required. In my case it was all one line. If you have multiple lines go to the end of the last line and press "enter".
That's what solved my problem.
If that doesn't happen, it won't boot.

Hi everyone,
You guys are likly to be my last resort !
I succesfully managed to push my downanimation which works as expected ..
But the bootanimation doesn't
I've tried adding the last line, encoding to ANSI or UTF-8 without BOM (and trying crazy things) but all this was vain
I spent so much time on it, it just drove me crazy and I have now absolutly no idea of what wrong with this
I hope you guys will be able to help :crying:
===
The day after ...
I figured out that when you add or replace files into the archive through windows explorer or 7-zip, the archive do not still uncompressed wich leads android to not be able to open the bootanimation zip file.
To sum this up, make sure you create bootanimation.zip from scratch with no compression and once created do not add or replace files directly inside it.
PS: Thank you for pointing out "adb shell bootanimation" command which saved my time a bit.
Holy cow! A simple carriage return and I was foinf crazy with this XDDDD
plz help me guys

BootScoot-V2
Info:
This moves bootanimations bootsounds and downanimations and sounds to /data/local
It includes COD Android bootanimation and sound. The original thread for the animation can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=904350
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The files should be named like so,
Bootanimation = bootanimation.zip
Bootsound = android_audio.mp3
Downanimation = downanimation.zip
Shutdown Sound = android_out.mp3
And they get copied to /data/local, i include a flasher to make copying easier just put all you files in the zip in data/local and flash.
Usage:
Place BootScoot.zip on sdcard
Boot into recovery
Flash zip
Bootanimation Flasher usage:
Put your bootanimation/downanimation in the zip file in data/local, make sure it's named bootanimation.zip or downanimation.zip (replace "Place Files Here")
Put the zip file on your sd
Flash zip
Enjoy...
Use the bootscoot zip once then use bootanimation flasher to change bootanimations.
Notes:
I added the sound by editing /customize/CID/default.xml like so in case you want to add it to your own rom:
Code:
<BootConfiguration>
<BootAnimation animation="/data/local/bootanimation.zip" [color="red"]audio="/data/local/android_audio.mp3"[/color] />
</BootConfiguration>
<ShutdownConfiguration>
<ShutdownAnimation image_png="/data/local/downanimation.zip" [color="red"]audio="/data/local/android_out.mp3"[/color] image="" fps="15" />
</ShutdownConfiguration>

Worked perfect, ty!
Your welcome it also does downanimations, i forgot to write it in the first post. I just didn't have any to add to the zip.
The great thing about this is there's NO COMPUTER NEEDED. It works quick too. I made a file and loaded some downanimations and bootanimations to select from, so I can just pop in what I want and use it from a small DB of animations.
Thanks for the work man.

This isn't working for me. I flashed the portal boot animation and that worked fine. But when I tried flashing the second zip file with animations in the data folder, the downanimation.zip won't work. The boot animation works fine, but when I shut off my phone, it will freeze up on a black screen before it powers off completely.
I've gone in with root explorer and deleted the downanimation.zip file from the data/local directory, and now I'm at least able to turn off my phone without having to pull the battery. Any ideas?
I know it isn't the animation zip file I'm using, because I've tried ones that work as the boot animation, but for whatever reason they don't work as the down animation.

I'm wondering if your using a bootanimation.zip for down animation, if that's true then that might be the problem, if the animation image isn't set for your devices screen size then you might have to change that before flashing. Check in the .zip folder under the text file and see what size they are.
Ok, I think I figured out why it wasn't working. Apparently the desc.txt file was telling it to play infinitely due to the number "0" in the file. What do each of these numbers mean and how to I modify a boot animation to use it as a down animation? I don't need it to loop, just to play once is fine.

I've used a boot for a down just by renaming it and as far as the numbers first line is size last two are frame rate second line on down first number loops 0 being infinitely 1 being once and so on. Second number how many frames to pause before running each time.

i keep getting E:Cant open /tmp/sideload/package.zip (bad)
every time I try to flash new V2 of BootScoot.zip....
any suggestions? I thought it was TWRP, but I rebooted and still getting error.. I will try one more time though just in case.
I got that error with superuser a few time but it worked anyways. I updated twrp and it stopped doing it, i'm not sure if that was the cause or not.

Yeah I have latest 1.02 of TWRP also.. so I am not sure what the hells going on.. Starting to regret even using TWRP.. Might go back to ClockworkMod.. Least it never gave me errors..
Also.. Just tried AGAIN for 4th time after rebooting each time.. Still get Error about opening /tmp/sideload/package.zip
I had already flashed your first BootScoot.zip yesterday... that wouldn't have anything to do with it, would it??? First one went fine..
FIGURED ERROR WHAT /tmp/sideload/package.zip ERROR WAS ALL ABOUT..
Well I figured out how to resolve it.. I renamed the file from BootScoot-V2-signed.zip to BootScoot-signed.zip and it flashed with no problem.. Maybe TWRP doesn't like files with 2 -(hyphens) in them... lol Either way, Got it Goin!! Thanks bro!
FYI: you might wanna change the file name of your upload to BootScootV2-signed.zip or something of that nature.. Just in case others have same problem.
Glad it worked out. Everything loads right now ?
EDIT: I reuploaded the file and fixed it, it wasnt signed properly and i renamed it. It should be all good now.

Easy explanation. Flash the bootscoot zip in recovery and that makes the new directories for your boot/downanimation locations. Then you just take the boots/downs u want, rename them properly, and move them to the location. Make sure the permissions are correct, and thats it. The boot-flasher zip isnt even necessary.
I Haz 3D
It's been a while since I have made one of these - back during the 1st gen MyTouch was hopping.
I made this bootscreen from scratch with the intention of sharing it out with you all and ran into a snag with the animation not appearing. Thanks to a member of our boards, this issue has been worked out and now I can finally toss this out to you all. I added the "(s)" to the title since I hope to throw a few more out there as well. I also have a "MoPho" boot coming soon that I will include in this thread as well.
Special thanks go out to dased14 for his help in getting things resolved.
So here we go....
This should go without saying, but in order to use this:
Download the zip file for the animation you like.
Rename zip file to "bootanimation.zip", if needed
Place zip on phone
Using Root Explorer, Estrongs, etc. Move file to /System/Media/
Reboot and enjoy

Have you had a chance to also add sound to the custom bootanimation? If so, could you post examples of where the sound file (e.g. file name format and file extension type) we would need to put in the /system/media folder or where it needs to be?
I tried to add the letter "s" following each line of code and have a android_audio.mp3 file in the /system/media file but the animation works without sound.
For example, I have something like the following in the desc.txt:
540 960 15
p 1 15 Part0 s
p 1 0 Part1 s
p 1 0 Part2 s
Is this correct?
Thanks,
GP

You have to have the sound file in the system/media/audio/notifications folder and the desc it should look kinda like this
540 960 20 < example
p 1 0 part0 < example
s nameofsound.mp3 < put this where you want the audio to start <EXAMPLE
p 0 0 part1 <example

It would be awesome if these two would be combined into one.
I'm also liking the boot particle one too.
Very nice work.

here you go try this
(remove from the named zip and place the bootanimation zip where it goes and rename if need be)
How about I have the same green smoke/wipe reveal "MoPho" then wipe again to reveal the "Powered by Android" bit? Then it will look consistent.
Not sure what this weekend holds for me, but I will make that and have it posted by sometime on Monday.
This past week has had me busy interviewing for work, but I'll have some free time coming soon to make a few more. I'll do the one mentioned above first.

Good lookin out bro!
wish it had a sound too like the default droid dna boot animation
I have tried and tried and tried over and over again with installing this animation as well as others and I haven't had a single bit of luck. I am rooted and using Nos m7 ROM with Sense 5.0. I tried an easier way of doing it with an app on the market and was able to get a couple animations to work that way BUT they were to small and I deleted them and got rid of the app. I even went in with es file explorer and removed them. I have read and watched everything I can on how to do this and when I put the file where I'm suppose to and reboot I don't get the animation that I should. Some of the animations I flash fail and won't work at all. I can give anyone who helps me out a step by step account of exactly what I have done and do in order to get a new boot animation. I'm just at a loss because this should have worked by now.
Work Great on the Nos Rom 3.0.7 GSM
Thanks you
How did you get it to work? That's the Rom I'm running!

I renamed it that already. I just can't put it in that directory. I don't know why but I can't get it in that directory. I've put it everywhere else that should have worked and I got nothing. Oh just remembered something. I get permission denied. Unless I need to rename it and then place it in that spot. I'll try that and go from there.

that's because system isn't mounted as RW. Are you using ES file explorer?
- click on top left button (looks like a globe with a phone in front of it)
-scroll down to where it says Root Explorer. Make sure that is on.
- click on Root Explorer (not the toggle on the right, click to the left of it, on the word "Root".
- go to Mount RW
- make sure "/system" is checked as RW

OOOOO pretty, thanks bro.
I have done everything exactly as instructed and have read everything on the subject that I can find. I still can't get it work unless I use this app I found called boot animations. I have renamed the file I want to use and I have gone in and changed the directory to being RW. Nothing works. It keeps going back to either the stock one with the ROM I'm using, or one of the ones I had downloaded but deleted(I'm guessing I didn't find all of it so that's why it keeps going back to it). I'm stumped and frustrated at this point. I'm currently using the CM10 animation because I found that one on the app and it works full screen like it should. For now I'm throwing in the towel.

The file permissions must be set to -rw -r -r
Check that, also. That's the last thing I can think of...

That was the very last thing I did before trying it again. I still can't get it work. Like I said...the towel has been thrown in.
Wait...I just restarted my phone and....for no real reason at all other than I got rid of some extra boot animations and then moved the ones I need into a file that was already named by the system as boot animations. It suddenly worked when my phone rebooted. I'm in total surprise and shock right now. Perhaps it was defaulting to the one I had downloaded because I had to many named bootanimation.zip and as it searched the system it just picked the first one it came to? My thing is why wouldn't it do that in the first place when I got rid of everything but the stock one that came with the ROM I'm running? Oh well....I must say the boot animation is pretty cool in motion right in front of me. Now I'm thinking I'll run that one for a bit and then see what else I can find.

You set permissions for that file, or for /system?

If you are using ES file explorer, long press on the file and go to properties. You will see permissions. Click on change and set them to -rw -r -r
