I repackaged the official cm9 boot animation as a flashable zip. It is a repeating animation but can be repackaged if you like. Had to post a link cause of a token error, sorry.
The link for the flash-able zip is at bottom of page. Resubmitted to file factory.
Will this work with the cm9 alpha 0.01?

Yep.
Yes , this zip is a highly requested boot animation made for CWM9. I pulled the correct resolution from the nook color site and repackaged in a flashable zip for you all to enjoy. It has been tested to make sure it flashed correctly and looked tight so enjoy.
Sorry for double post but yes this was made for my NT Cm9 alpha .01
cool, I'll try it out!

Have to re download. First one was bad or something. CWM aborted its install.
EDIT: apparently for some reason I can't download it. Could you try posting it someplace else? I only could download 37kb of it......

Hmm. I will download and check hash against what i flashed onto my nook. Have it back uo later tonight. Sorry about troubles.
Where does everyone submit to. Which file sharing site compatible with our tablet? I would be happy to repost.
File Factory 11.2mb
I resubmitted the file to file factory. The file is 11.2mb in size. You might be able to download the file directly with yournook but if not use your pc and transfer the file over. Good luck and let me know how it works because I plan on doing some other cool projects once we get a stable 3.x kernel.

Got it, I probably should mention that I'm doing this all during school on my schools VERY sketchy wifi. It looks nice if a lil laggy but that's probably due to the lack of hw accel on cm9. Overall good job though, I like it better than the default! I look forward to more of your projects.

Will it work on a rooted tablet or do you have to be running CM7/9?

Tbe zip file was designed to write the bootanimation to the android system media folder so it sbould work on all roms. Tbis file is meant to be flashed with CMW but you could just opsn this zip and copy the contents in the media folder and overwrite your existing boot animation. I made this for CM9 because this will be the official anim. Remember to back up all your important data before flashing.
I can confirm that it does work if you take the bootanimation.zip from inside the download zip and move it to the /system/media folder.
Although the animation isn't perfect, looks pretty good.
download location other than filefactory?
Are there any file download locations other than FileFactory? I keep getting the enter captcha, wait 25 seconds, sorry busy try again. Rinse and repeat.
I'll try again later, but if it's only on File Factory I'll probably just give up until another time.
Thanks.
I will try and repost to a better site when I get home. I am visiting family this weekend. Going to update the boot animation t make it smoother.
Yeah you need to upload it to another place, ever time I try it says all the free pipes are taken, either they are overrun because of megaupload or they're scamming paid trials
will fix
Ok. Got a dentist appointment today but i will get it back up tonight. Got any ideas where us best place to upload?
Mediafire, not sure if thats free to upload to, but its always worked consistantly. BTW i got this before it went down and it works really well. better and smoother than the original animation for the cm9 ROM. only complaint is the last bit where you go into the warp-zone and it says cm9 could stand to be lengthened a bit. just loop the part thats says "CyanogenMod 9" at the bottom for a few more seconds and itd be perfect.
Will redo
I am planning on completely redoing this zip and basing it off of a zip in the nook color forums. It will be full screen and i will try to make it smooth and fast. I might try a sound version also. Sorry its been a while, i was in a play at church and had rehersals besides my usual commitments. Expect this zip mid week.
Looking forward to it!

Hi, The animation looks great on youtube.
I have no idea how to use the zip file (I downloaded the nook version of animation).
Can you enlighten me? (on how to install the boot animation)
Thanks.
I dont have a nook, but on phones Zip file needs to be pushed to system/media or data/local, according to the rom. I guess it's the same for nook, if you have root.
You should hit nook thread of the rom you are rocking and ask there.

I found a how-to on changing the boot animation, which worked under Phiremod 6.3, but for some reason didn't work in CM7, unless I did something wrong. Which is WAY possible.

I guess for cm7 boot goes to system/media. Use a file browser to search for bootanimation.zip and replace it.

Thanks ..will take a look at home tonight
hey guys.
DESCRIPTION
This is the boot animation that I use now. I used it previously with my OG Evo 4G and loved it and it looks equally amazing on the Evo 3D. The animation loops through about 4 different wormholes shown throughout the Stargate franchise. I did not make the animation, but I did optimize it and rework it so that the looping is more seamless and it works flawlessly (or at least it should).
Thanks to silverxbv2 for creating the original animation for the Evo 4G. The thread is here.
DISCLAIMER
Please flash responsibly. These files are not intended to damage your phone. In the event that flashing these files in any way damages your phone, hardware, software, or otherwise, I will not be liable for damages and you incur sole liability for your actions!
DOWNLOADS
bootanimation_stargate.zip
If you already know how to change your bootanimation, rename the file to bootanimation.zip and place it in the correct folder.
Alternatively, you can flash bootanimation_flashable.zip in recovery. This is a modified BootScoot2 flashable zip. It will relocate where your bootanimation, downanimation, and boot sound go to /data/local and also flash this bootanimation for you.
Thanks to smokin1337 for his original BootScoot2 zip. I can't live without this. His thread is here.
Visit this post link for instructions on how to add sound to your boot animation. I made the sound file back when I was on the Evo 4G. it will still work with this installation but I can't guarantee it will sync up the same. Try it out and let me know please.
Try it out and let me know how it works out!
VIDEO

I can take 2D or 3D video. what do you think?
Thank you for bringing this to the 3D!! I had it on my Evo 4G and loved it! I'll be installing this later on today

Very cool, thanks for the work you put into it.
i'm glad you guys are enjoying it.
for those of you waiting on a video, i've put up a link to it in the OP. recorded with my wife's Evo 3D.
Cool, but would be much better if it could go without repeating. Just keep going until the phone is booted.
My bootanimation is named Sprint_bootanimation.zip - should I name it that or will bootanimation.zip suffice?
if you downloaded the bootanimation only then yes change the name to match your existing animation. if you downloaded the flashable version, it will change your settings so that from now on, your files are named bootanimation, android_audio, and downanimation and place them in /data/local for easier access.
OP helped sate a childhood fancy of mine. I love Stargate and the flashable zip is awesome. Its very possible that I have rebooted my phone multiple times just to watch it. Now I just need to get the sound workin

i'm glad to know you like it. I really loved the entire SG series and was heartbroken every time they canceled one of the shows. i own every single episode and movie, so it still lives on
Wow this looks great!
But im guessing it wont work on GSM??
I have never even so much as looked at a GSM rom so I can't tell you whether it works or not. I would stay away from the flashable zip just to be safe, since it does modify a couple of system files to change the location of the bootanimation.
but you should have no problem just getting the bootanimation.zip and placing it in the correct directory for your rom and that should work

Hey everyone, I'm posting this so you all can see if Bootanimations work on the nook tablet *aside from that abysmal stock animation* so let's move on, shall we?
Instructions:
What you need to do is just download,rename to bootanimation.zip and push to /data/local/
you can do this by either using adb
Code:
adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/
or by using a file explorer.

There are 2 choices.

Added a second bootanimation to the thread.
I tried, but no luck. A couple things i noticed. One, my bootanimation file lives in /system/bin, second, i'm not sure how to match the permissions. The original file's permissions are rwxr-xr-x, third(ly) i also tried dropping the .zip extension as it's not on the original file.
Let me know what i'm doing wrong, or anything else you'd like me to try. Thanks indirect, for all your work!

WHATEVER YOU DO DO NOT TOUCH THE bootanimation Binary File in /system/bin!!! This is the Executable that RUNS a boot animation.... copy over that file and boot animations will cease to function until it is restored to the original file.
Yeah, i realized what it was after some experimenting. So i restored it, and tried indirect's instructions exactly, but no luck.

Just tried it as well and no luck.
You know on my phone, the location of the bootanimation.zip is in the /system/media folder. Maybe try dropping it there?
Yeah, try pushing it to system/media
We might need to put it in the framework-res if this doesnt work. :/

Put it in system/media and i got NO starting animation at all (which gave me a bit of a scare for a moment until the unlock screen came on) . But by having NO animation, that means its doing SOMETHING.

Hi, is there a way to turn off boot animation...I it takes about 5 minutes for my nook tablet to load...kind of annoying when you need to do something quickly.
Thanks so much!

I have the ROM toolbox app which has the ability to automatically change the boot animation, but I am not sure if I can use the application without messing up the tablet.

The 5 minute bootup is not affected by the bootanimation at all. The boot animation actually completes fairly early, and becomes a static image until the end of the bootup.
Also, the Nook Tablet uses a special /system/bin/bootanimation which, while recognizing custom bootanimations, fails to actually draw them to the screen. Thus, you end up with a black screen for those ~5 minutes while the boot process is going. It took me a long time to realize that I hadn't bricked my nook to figure that out.
The only bootanimation that works is stored in the /system/framework/framework-res.apk file, which can be tricky to modify, and update correctly. The snowball-mod root that I wrote has a custom bootanimation, but that's just more a side effect of fixing the white-on-white problem, (if you've already hacked one PNG in the file, hacking a few more isn't particularly hard.)
Oh ok thank you for the info. I appreciate it

Was anyone able to get their boot animation changed from stock at this time. It would be nice to have something that doesn't promote BN. This thread just kind of fell to the wayside.
Thanks...
Gave it a try. It did something. Went from the Read Forever screen to black untill it finished booting. I think its a start. Tried the Thunder Cats file.

anyone try using 7-ZIP to drag/drop/replace similar-sized images into the original bootanimatoon.zip? I had some luck doing that on my intercept. I guess it preserves the original sig/align or something.
You have to change the animation in framework-res.apk since that's where B&N use theirs. The normal android way won't work here.

Was always a fan of the Nexus One boot animation (which was also the Nexus S Boot Animation for Gingerbread) so I decided to convert it really fast to the N10.. To me, even to this day this boot animation is the very meaning of "Nexus Device".. I ran the all the original images through a detail extracting filter to help sharpen it up a bit for the upscale. It's by no means "HD" but it isn't 8-Bit looking either.. Perfect retro feel on a bleeding edge device.
Plus.. X = 10.
Copy paste install.. No flashing.. You should know where this goes. data/local or system/media then permissions of rw-r--r-- for the zip
Thanks. I'll give it a go as soon as I'm done eating.
Is it safe to assume that because it's packaged as a zip it's okay to flash in recovery?

Nope, no flashing.. Just drop it in system/media or /data/local... One probably contains a bootanimation.zip already if you're on a custom rom.
What's funny is all these years I never figured out how to make flashable zips for things. I've themed, I can compile AOSP sources, yadda yadda yadda but I never figured out how to make things like this flashable.
Forgot to add. You'll need to change permissions of it to - rw-r--r--
Sweet! Thanks for this!
perfect is working
Nice!
OK, finally got around to giving it a go (got to wait until after the kids go to bed before I do any serious device tweaking). Very nice indeed. Thanks for putting this together.

That file name makes me laugh for real. I mentioned /data/local because I like dumping bootanimations in there so if I use Cyanogenmod or some other ROM etc that plants its own boot animation in system/media mine will always over-ride it and I never have to see theirs regardless of how many nightly updates etc I flash after the fact.

Appreciate the link but like most tutorials for Android/Linux it is overly wordy, drifts off topic and makes assumptions you already know certain things. I can't pay attention to it. Like I said, I've learned a lot from plenty of great tutorials but signing and packaging flashable zips are always the worst and overdone explanations. I just want to theme, pack and move on. Packing a zip shouldn't be this complicated yet it seems like it is and I have no patience for it. I learned to compile from source in 10 minutes. Reading that tutorial for flashing zips made me close the tab in 1 minute. I appreciate the peoples time to do it but for me and my ADD mind I can't digest it.
i loved your boot and i am also really happy to see that it's so easy on nexus 10 and doesn't need flash and sh*t like in my HOX. You gave me a good reason to open my 3d animation tools again

Ugh and i gave you /system/media which you couldn't even use then... So here is one that will let you chose if you want it to install in /system/media or /data/local.
and if you make/edit any more boot animations for the Nexus 10 you just need to open this zip, copy your new bootanimation.zip into the bootani folder, and rezip. Then that one would be flashed asking user whether they prefer it install to /system/media or /data/local

Hi all,
At the moment I am creating a BIOS POST Bootanimation for our G Pad 8.3 inspred by all the other BIOS POST Bootscreens.
I use one already for the N5 and I am missing it on my G Pad, so I decided to create one (maybe with bootsound).
I like to share 2 Preview Images and ask you for some Feedback.
Once I got feedback, I will create the animation and share it with you, if someone is interested. :fingers-crossed:
But it is a lot of work, about 4 hours so far, and maybe I have a mistake I do not see or something similar.
Markus
EDIT:
I uploaded the first Version to my Dropbox.
IT IS NOT WORKING FOR ME ON STOCK ROM (Did not try an other rom so far).
File ist NOT flashable. Manual install needed.copy to media folder, set permissions)
Maybe someone can check the file if it works on other ROMS and/or make a flashable version out of it.
Would be great if someone would try it (I needed to restore via recovery). BE CAREFULL

I finished the first Version of my Bootanimation.
In Boot Animation Factory the preview works fine but when I copy it to the G Pad I only get black screen (also on the "Desktop").
After copying the original file back (via Recovery) the Pad works fine again.
I used no compression and also I set the right permissions....
Any hints?
