[UTILITY]Preview current boot animation without rebooting - XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps

Hi everyone!
Whenever we install a new boot animation we always reboot to see how is it?, is it working? Etc..
What if we can see exact same thing without rebooting!
Here is the way...
First install a boot animation
Just in case:
1. Rename it to bootanimation.zip
2. Put it in system/media &replace previous one
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now preview:
open terminal emulator & type:
Code:
su
bootanimation
& you will see a full screen bootanimation:cyclops:
Press back button 2 times to exit preview
If you get stuck in the preview read 2nd post!!!!!
Destroy thanks button if it was useful for you
:flipoff2: DEVILS NEVER CRY:flipoff2:

STUCK on preview
for those who gets stuck on boot animation & can't come out
extract the attached file & place extracted file in system/bin(choose to overwrite)
i haven't tested it because it's not happening in my phone so nandroid backup is necessary!
please give feedback & tell if it worked or not!

We can use rom toolbox too.....it previews it without the need of terminal or back button

Rom toolbox can't gaurantee that it'll work...
Sometimes animation comes in toolbox but not on booting
it's 100% correct, & everyone @xda have terminal emulator unlike rom toolbox

Rom toolbox only previews the animation...if your screen is smaller than the animation resolution OR if the animation lags even a bit then android system will not run it
Always press thanks for help

If pressing back button 2 times isn't working, you can also open adb terminal on your computer, write adb shell then su and bootanimation. Then just close adb window and bootanimation will close too.

All you should have to do is download the Droid_Destroys_Apple_Atrix_Boot zip file, unzip, open folder you unzipped to, navigate to system/media in the folder, copy bootanimation.zip to your sdcard, rename your original boot animation in your phone at system/media to something like bootanimation_bak.zip, move the new bootanimation into system/media on your phone, reboot.
thank you so much i have it and its awesome its way better than that stupid att one. i don't want to push it but the one i wanted was the ''andro eats an apple bootup" type andro eats an apple bootup on youtube and you'll get it its really funny if you can make it thanks

Building on the topic,
I recently bought an AT & T Atrix in DX and came up with a modified ROM, as some had progras in Chinese, I chose to switch to the 2.3.6 rom from AT & T.
He loved the boot animation that came, but upgraded to the AT% T rom and there was the boot animation. I wonder if anyone knows this boot is animator? If possible, can put the link?

Blue Particles Boot Animation

For those who do not like the Asus boot animation, here is the blue particles boot animation that works on the 300 pad. Just use root explorer and rename the original boot animation in system/media to bootanimation.bak and place this one place in the same folder then reboot, enjoy!
I am not a fan of deleting anything out of a tab or phone until we have a workable recovery.img so I recommend just renaming everything that you change! If you liked and use please hit the thanks button.
So this is 1280x800? Can we usr any this size?

if the blackground is a constant color and the animation does not go off screen, you should be able to utilize any resolution.
Yes, I have this boot animation on my Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy Tab and the TF300 and it seems to re-size somewhat on each device.

I wanna say thanks for this boot animation. Pretty darn cool. I'm enjoying it. Thought it was so much better than the stock bootaanimation, that I even restarted the tablet to show my wife. She thought it was a blast, and giggled.
Thanks again. Wish you had a small photo on the thread so others would know what its going to look like. But it was worth the install.

Very cool !

Hi Guys
I am unlocked and rooted. In Voodoo OTA RootKeeper it says I am rooted with root permission and system support root protection. Could it be the system root protection and if so how do I turn it off. If not what am I doing wrong.
Thanks in Advance

For Guyz like me with recovery problems for S7 Slim 201u version....
1. Revert back to stock "UPDATA.APP" Official huawei official 2.2 rom.
2. Then root
3. Fastboot install recovery.img (latest) by batabe
4. Reboot and install ROM Manager "ClockworkMod" from play store
5. In Rom manager flash clockworkmod recovery! when asked which version? choose3+
6. Still in Rom manager...choose reboot into recovery
DONE!
If you want smooth launcher and overall experience..do this
-download apex luncher..much faster then stock
-In build.prop system file under graphics add this line
debug.composition.type=gpu
-in settings ..developer options chech "force gpu rendering"
-then in same setting set background process limit to 3 or 4 (this option when restarted device is back to standard so you will have to check it everytime you restart device)
If you use tablet mode and you want real full screen in some apps or games use app call Gmd gesture

You've probably had a solution to your problem, but just for anyone else with this problem, check out a pc app, windows to be specific, called "apk installer" .I'm pretty sure it will help.
Goolauncher is a better alternative besides CWM. It is a browser for custom roms and a installer all in one!
I use it and when it is in recovery (Teamwin) you can leave your phone on the charger!
It is very solid and stable.
I use it every time when I update my Cyanogenmod!
I hope this helps!

Well, just dwonload a rom on your pc (can be stock firmware too) then plug your phone into your pc, and navigate the file into the root of your phone. Reboot your phone into recovery mode (VOLUME U P+POWER+HOME) and select the file to boot, BAM yout device should work properly again now

Your phone must be rooted and have a working cwm
Now download these:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/iseparh0ztypsfi/Bootanimation4U.zip
https://www.dropbox.com/s/jk8fevim0ljcb8y/google.zip
Copy both the zip files to your sd card
Boot into recovery
Flash bootanimation4u.zip first
Then flash google.zip
Reboot
You will have the google boot animation
