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.

Thanks. You should teach me how to do that one day. I know I could pick up on it fast I just never found the right source anywhere so stopped bothering to look. But.. God damn you're a funny dude. 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.

Nice boot animation! Since you were wondering how to make flashable zips I would recommend taking a look at this great guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1611615.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using xda premium
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

This is fantastic! I just put it on my NC and I love it! I might reboot just so i can see it. Thanks for sharing.
A handy command for testing (which should be done in ADB SHELL ONLY) is "start bootanim" and "stop bootanim". The reason I say adb shell only, is that you can't really stop the animation if you start it from within a terminal app on the nook.

Kit, have you posted the CM7 one on the CyanogenMod forums? Who knows, maybe they'd use it. It's really nice, the only thing I don't care for is the text you used for the "POWERED BY"... but that's just personal preference.
Out of curiosity, what software do you use to create those?
How come when I use the "start bootanim" command the animation is so laggy?

if you're using rootexplorer, or similar app, you could go into /data/local and delete the bootanimation.zip, then paste the bootanimation.zip you want to use there, and reboot, it should work just the same
just make sure you rename the animation zip you want to use to bootanimation.zip
So I am very new to all this and just recently rooted my Vibrant with the ClockWork Rom and saw that I am able to upload new boot images instead of the Galaxy S logo.
I am not very artistic and was wondering if anyone would be able to throw one together for me using a hockey team logo or combination of logos. I will even reimburse!
Not sure if this is do able or if someone is willing to do this, but thought I would ask.
PM me with the team(s) you would like and I'll see what I can do.

Mine has a samsung logo but its custom and hokey anyway sounds like it is differant than your looking for.

Sorry I didn't get back sooner. The download is flashable through clockwork recovery. But if you already extracted the bootanimation.zip from the package and placed it in the /system/media folder make sure you set permissions to rw-r--r-- otherwise I would just flash the original package

I think the rom I am using isn't going to let me do this. I tried downloading the sons of skywalker ROM through ROM manager but after I click on it to download it takes me to a screen that doesn't come up with anything on it. I wait and nothing. Not sure where to find it to flash it when I boot through recovery. I tried downloading Axura and it doesn't save the file as a .zip on my computer. It extracts it and the only zip I can find is the update.zip. Do I go through recovery and install this file?
I don't know if it is the fact I am using a MacBook but just trying to alter some stuff on my phone with no luck.
I did the install in regards to the BootAnimations.zip and it didn't work, so thinking the rom wont let me.
I made (ported) a bootanimation. [MY FIRST CONTRIBUTION TO XDA SINCE I JOINED]
mixture of nexus 1(without the htc logo appearing)
+ a cyanogen 3d animation(which I got from nexus 1 themes and apps section)
+ android pissing on apple. ALL IN ONE!
http://db.tt/gMFnd2e
actually I made it for myself but thought of sharing it.
To port a animation which you like (to make is difficult than port)-
1. unzip 'bootanimation.zip' or any other name which you want to port.
2. you see 1 or 2 or more folders + a .txt file.
2. batch resize all png images in all those folders to 240*400 using 'Fast Stone Photo Resizer'.. no need to change anything else. (they would be of different resolution as they are made for different phone.)
3. edit using 'notepad++' the 'desc.txt' file and change the resolution value typed there to 240 400.
4. the folders and .txt file are ready.
5. archive these files using '7zip'
archive format- zip
compression level- store
don't change anything else and zip it.
6. YOUR BOOTANIMATION IS PORTED.
To apply custom bootanimation-
1. rename the zip to bootanimation.zip
2. move using root explorer to /data/local/ or /system/media/ either of them only, don't move to both!
3. remove 'playlogo' from /system/bin/
4. EVERYTHING DONE!! JUST REBOOT AND ENJOY!! :
WARNING- ITS THE SIMPLEST EXPLANATION EVEN A NOOB CAN UNDERSTAND BUT EVEN THEN IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE. BACKUP 'playlogo' IN CASE YOU WANT TO REVERT TO ORIGINAL BOOTANIMATION AND REVERSE FOLLOW THE GUIDE.
ROOTED PHONE NEEDED.
this is just ported by me, made by different people. The guide I wrote was googled from different sources and I tried the simplest way for myself and thus for the post.
Good work !
1. use Fast Stone Photo Resizer for resizing the .png files
2. notepad++ for editing desc.txt file, not the windows notepad.
3. 7zip, not winzip/winrar/anything else.
this is all I needed to port bootanimation.
Mod edit : remove the same
dont ask for the thanks button it is to be given by the member of his own free will & not to be asked for
Edit: solved. post delete.
I have
1.uploaded the file over xda.
2. added a download link for non xda members.
If you want to mix animations as I have done, maintain the animation sequence by renaming the files in sequence you want to play your animation, in those 2 folders.
You can better unzip my animation and check what I have done about mixing different animations and it's sequence.

Ya irfanview is a nice 'open source' alternative.
I used 7zip because I love 'open source', anyway that 'compression - store' is important.
But I read somewhere that windows notepad adds 'something' which I don't know, to the text file making it difficult or unreadable for android, result-black boot screen, again I am not sure. never tried it.
Notepad++ does no such thing.
So I recommended it.
very very cool boot animation.. thanks a lot!!

Hi
Actually the frame rate is bit high,18/s
Maybe reducing it to 15 or 16 would be fine.
Also, in the original pissing animation, pissing scene loops and so lasts longer. Here it plays only once.
adding new pictures for pissing scene is possible but it would be a painful job, renaming and all those stuff again!

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
YouTube link - volume alert! video has soundtrack!

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

This is just a quick and easy way to download and set your bootanimation. I didn't make these so credits go to them I just created the video and links to some of the better threads here on XDA. Some are Galaxy Nexus animations but look quite good on the Transformer.
Option#2 Thanks to Lock-N-Load
INSTEAD of putting it in /system/media/ and deleting and/or backing up your old bootanimation as talked about, just put your new one into /data/local/ and presto.... done.

INSTEAD of putting it in /system/media/ and deleting and/or backing up your old bootanimation as talked about, just put your new one into /data/local/ and presto.... done. No delete, no backup and when your done with it just delete yours from that location and the stock bootanimation kicks back in as /data/local just overrides the stock location of /system/media/ much easier, faster and less effort and no chance of ooops

Nice tutorial! Does anyone happen to have an animation that simulates verbose-mode booting?

Option#2 Thanks to Lock-N-Load (This doesn't work on mine but I suppose It does on others).

Huh? How is that possible. Your on ICS, no? This should absolutely 100% work.

Maybe he didn't rename to bootanimation.zip ?

Yeah, there must be more to the story. As if it works in /system/media/ it should work perfect in /data/local/

It has to be bootanimation.zip for it to work in either location.

care to try again just copy and paste it in data/local rename bootanimation.zip and reboot
Worked perfect for me

Got both methods working. Anybody with favorite boot animations post them up so we can add them to the first post!!
There are already at least 5 threads going with boot animations in them just FWIW
noob question alert
Hi ppls, sorry in advance for my noobishness...
I'm just looking for one small straight answer about loading boot animations:
Do you have to root a Transformer Prime with ICS to replace the boot animation in either location? I was under the impression that the data/local/ folder didn't require rooting - am I incorrect in this assumption? I just keep getting 'permission denied' messages when attempting to alter the data folder... if it is possible can someone tell me what the heck I am doing wrong??
To stop you all foaming at the mouth at my obviously stupid noobish question, here's a Portal/Aperture Science PC retro boot animation I made for myself based off the ascii art in the credits of Portal 1:

^apparently I'm even too noobish to be able to post links yet...

Yes you have to be rooted to modify data/local or system/media

Ahh thanks! In the meantime I figured out the way to use ADB to do it without rooting...
Also ignore that first portal boot animation link - here is a working one (now I've been able to test it)

boot animation looks cool, but it doesnt get to finish because device boots up too fast
Stuck
mine is stuck on the boot animation. Any suggestions?
If anyone is looking for anything custom boot animation wise for the prime send me a PM and we can hash out what you want to do. I have been building them for the primalicious rom if at all interested. Props to the OP for compiling the list.
