[Q] Change boot animation - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just changed from TeamHackSung ICS to AOKP ICS, and much prefer the former's boot animation to the pink unicorn of the latter. Is there a way to copy the boot animation files from one to the other? Where are they located?

Extract the bootanimation.zip from the THS ICS .zip file from the /system/media directory then copy and replace (or rename the AOKP version first).
It's easier if you have a computer with ADB, but if not, you could use a file manager like Root Explorer.
You can also check out the boot animation collection in the themes section!

Nice!
Alternatively, you can place the file in /data/local. This has a few advantages:
1. you don't need to remount as read-write (and you won't see a "readonly filesystem" error if you forget to)
2. it stays put until you do a full data wipe
5. three, sir!
3. it over-rides, rather than replaces, whatever is in /system/media ... including angry pink unicorns

It's a sweet boot animation, the little androids in the circle animation are especially cool. And nobody wants to be a jerk.

Fortunately, now that I've got TeamHackSung's boot animation installed, my phone no longer says I'm a jerk. (That unexpected "Jerk." was one of the funniest things I've seen on my phone...)

Is the output applicable for any ROM ? Damn, only HTC Legend build 26 or 29 ROM.
For any other ROM we need to provide the site with the framework-res.apk file from our ROM (I am using Azure).
So? You upload your framework-res.apk and download updated one...

Unzip that file U flashed (Azure ROM) and find it there.

Excellent, thanks for the tip!
I was under the impression it was a case of extracting it with some ugly command line work (which is fine, though as I've just moved to OSX, terminal syntax is all new to me, as is Android dev in general)
Thanks again.
Is there a reason whenever I flash this MOD onto my EVO it always has a roaming indicator on? I flashed the latest CM6 nightly and it didn't say that. I flashed the ROM, it did. I nandroid'd back, it went away. I flashed the .zip with the boot animation and it came back.
Anyone else having this issue or an idea how to get rid of it?

[Q] Why do I have two boot sequences?

So is there a reason why my phone loads the stock Fascinate boot, and a glowing android logo on top? It happened when I went from EC01 to ED01. It's not an issue just curious.

It's because you're running a custom kernel with stock android boot animation support without having a bootanimation.zip present

CM9 Boot Animation! (Updated)

Made 540 by 960 CM9 Boot Animation
Unlike others this is true 540 by 960, loops properly, and works. Plus I made it flashable.
To Install
-----------
Simply download and flash
or
do it manual
Downloads
-----------
V3 Boot Animation
New bootanimation, and no this isn't the stock one that comes with the new CM9 ROMs although it is based on it. The stock one has some serious pixelation with the black background but was higher quality after the "burst" effect. So I merged V2 and the stock together making an overall better quality bootanimation. Also the beginning of the boot animation is alot shorter in the stock. Another thing is that the stock bootanim felt quite slow so I sped that up a bit also.
OUTDATED
_______________________
LQ Boot Animation
HQ Boot Animation because of the size and number of pictures, it won't be as smooth as LQ/V2
Reduced and Quicker Animation V2 Smoother, faster frame rate, Medium Quality
if animation speed of V2 is too fast click here to download V2s
Downloading now... Thanks!!
Downloaded LQ and installed... works great. Downloaded HQ, but have not installed. May try it later!
Thanks for the share!
Your welcome, I might release a newer version with lower size while still retaining quality later.

Nice!!! i saw this on youtube yesterday, and was trying to find a file for it somewhere, thank you!
New Boot Animation Version. Resized to QHD and compressed, check OP.
Original File from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22862145&postcount=46
Changes.
Well every 5th picture is removed, making file smaller.
Frame rate is increased to 60 making the animation faster.
Quality is between LQ and HQ versions and the only notable difference is that it's faster and a bit smoother. If you like the slower animation check the OP for slower version.
tried the high quality version and well it looks nice, its just not very smooth kinda laggy/jerky gonna try the reduced one.
thank you
Loving this animation. Was really getting tired of the nexus boot, thanx

Everytime I try to copy the bootanimation.zip file to the /system/media folder, it fails. Other ones work though. I cant figure it out
edit: nvm tried putting it in my /data/local folder and it worked... go figure never had to do that before
Kk the flash works for cm7 and cm9 and also any ex4 rom. Ex3 roms such as stock blur probably wont flash, though its really easy to change update script to ex3.
Anyway the bootanimation.zip should work on all. Did you check permissions? Also try using root explorer and make sure you have enough space in the /system partition (HQ might be too large try LQ)

I have the reduced and quicker installed on my phone. Even with faux's 1.45 kernel it always freezes for one second twice during boot, i've wiped everything and used it on every ics rom out. it doesn't really bother me, it still looks so sweet i don't care. Are people having better luck with a different one? Thanks so much either way.
I've never changed my boot animation before, and I was just wondering if by flash it you mean do as I would do to flash a new rom? Or is there a different process for boot animations?
Thanks in advance and thanks for the great boot animation, this looks so amazing!

This Boot anim flash in which location?
The official cm9 bootanim has a bunch of frames so even with good compression and fast CPU its going to lag. Plus the phone is using most of its resources booting up so there's going to be a bit of lag.

The bootanimation.zip is located in system/media. Get the bootanimation.zip in the flash file, move to system/media, and set permissions if you want manually install. However its much simpler flashing.

CM10 OFFICIAL Bootanimation and 9 Themed Versions

Well for those that want the OFFICIAL CM10 boot animation to stay while flashing newest nightlies I have made a CWM Zip file to flash it into the data/local folder so it doesn't get wiped each nightly.
I know once CM10 is merged for the I777 and the I9100 we will have the OFFICIAL already installed. This just let's them stay between nightlies which is helpful if you used themed colored versions found below.
Many versions, STOCK CM10 Blue-ish Color, Red Themed, Grey Themed, Purple Themed, White BACKGROUND/Grey Inverted THEMED, Orange Themed, Bright Green, Deep Red, Yellow,

There should not be any need. But each persons phone is different so IF there are any problems wipe cache and dalvich. But I personally have never had any issues. Thanks for some clarifications.

The blue is pure stock. I didn't change it all except made the cwm zip file save it to data/local. There shouldn't be any red. If you are talking about my screenshot then at the top is from my red theme. I will look at it and see
Edit: Thanks I added that to the updater-script. It is removed now to avoid confusion.

No but you can make your own. Just pull apart the apk and change every PNG to however you want. Then use boot animation creator (or whatever app you want) to make the boot animation. I will be keeping this post purely OFFICIAL CM10 boot animations.

[BOOT/SHUTDOWN ANIMATION] Basic Android Logo Font

Very basic, no animations, nothing fancy. It works on H918 but I don't see why it wouldn't work on other variants or any QHD, 2560x1440 phones. Place zip files in system/media. Permissions set to rw-r-r or 644 for each file. Image attached if zip files don't work for your variant/phone.

I've yet to experience any bootloop issues doing it. The original galaxy s/sidekick 4g/epic 4g touch would just go backlit black screen until it went into the homescreen. I think that android logo has kinda been the default impromptu boot screen since ics. Nice thing about your way tho is the ability to customize the colors. I would love a holo blue android boot animation but I suck at making them. I've had one zip I've ever made actually boot lol
