HAL 9000 boot animation (+ audio) - AT&T LG Optimus G

original boot animation taken from NicePenguin here: http://www.android-hilfe.de/themes-fuer-motorola-defy/329209-hal9000-bootanimation.html
For anyone else that wants something a little different... I've had this on my phone for a while and thought I'd share it. HAL 9000 is the computer from the old sci-fi movie 2001: A Space Odyssey
this is someone else's work that i optimized for our screens.
i resized the original for our screens (to 768x1280) and darkened them in photoshop.
I also found a soundclip of hal 9000 saying "i'm completely operational and all my circuits are functioning perfectly"
you will need access to your /system partition. put bootanimation.zip in your /system/media/ folder and if you want the audio, put that PowerOn.ogg in your /system/media/audio/ui/ folder. These files may overwrite existing files.
Here's what it will look like.
{
"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_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Awesome! I'll have to try it out. I was just thinking about Hal 9000 after seeing that Facebook had this line come up in my Status Update box: "How has your day been, Jameson?" Creeped me out. If my name was Dave it would have been worse. BTW, I hit the "Thanks" button, but I'm all out for today.

Just replaced the boot animation with this, really cool! The power on and power off sounds sounds great. Good job!

Murasaki likes, looking forward to throwing this on when I get off work.
Edit: Haha, this is great. Thanks!

did you copy the bootanimation.zip file to your /system/media folder? do not extract the files out of bootanimation.zip. can't imagine what else you could have done...

When I removed boot animation completely I'm pretty sure I had a black screen. Maybe, it didn't copy over correctly... Idk?
Edit: didn't mean to make it sound like I've tried it, yet. But, I've removed boot animation before and the result was a black screen, if I'm not mistaken.

My steps:
Download the zip given. Extract that zip wherever you'd like, all the things will go into a folder (obviously). Those things are bootanimation.zip, poweron/off.ogg
I first went into the folders and renamed the originals with a (...)2.zip at the end. I then went back into the folder and clicked Move To and placed them in to their according spots. Rebooted and working.
I didn't do this via computer, just in case anyone is confused. Downloaded from xda app on my phone and used ES File Manager to move around. Root settings and Writable.

Why not just use CWM to apply the new boot animation?

Does it put the sound file in the right place too? I've never used it on boots with audio. Just curious.

Because that's called spoon feeding. Moving two files to a folder after unzipping a file isn't difficult

Sure, moving two files to a single folder is simple, but moving three files to two folders?
j/k

That meme made that post gold, haha. Thanks for the laugh!

Another common way to keep the old bootanimation in there just in case is to rename them to bootanimation.zip.bak (for "bakup...").
Both ways work, that just seems to be how everybody does it.
Very nice animation by the way.

Love this boot animation. I been running the 4.1.2 stock and i like the simple boot animation it uses.but this Hal one is awesome, especially with the audio it comes with haha. Most people i know wont get the reference but its super creepy when u do get it haha. Im just using the poweron not poweroff audio and the audio is almost perfectly timed for how long it takes to boot up the phone, excellent work. Nice job doblebo on bringing it over and to nicepenguin for creating it
